1Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed communication structure is used, then system simplicity is maintained, but communication flexibility and efficiency are limited

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic resource allocation where the base station configures resource grids with adjustable subcarrier spacing and OFDM symbol structures based on traffic conditions. The system transitions from static to dynamic configuration, allowing resource parameters to change adaptively according to service requirements and channel conditions, thereby improving communication flexibility without permanently increasing system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes key communication parameters including subcarrier spacing configurations, cyclic prefix lengths, and OFDM symbol structures. By providing multiple configurable parameter sets that can be selected and adjusted based on service types and channel conditions, the system achieves enhanced adaptability while maintaining manageable complexity through standardized parameter options.

2Productivity

If traditional resource allocation is used, then system simplicity is maintained, but resource utilization efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilization efficiencyVSAvoidresource management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the resource grid into flexible units with configurable subcarrier spacing and OFDM symbol structures. This segmentation allows independent optimization of different resource portions for different services, improving overall resource utilization efficiency by allocating resources according to specific service requirements rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a universal resource allocation framework that can handle multiple service types (eMBB, mMTC, URLLC) within a single configurable structure. The same resource grid mechanism serves diverse functions by adjusting parameters, reducing the need for separate specialized systems and improving efficiency without proportionally increasing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Loss of time

If standard channel access mechanisms are used, then system simplicity is maintained, but latency is increased

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication latencyVSAvoidchannel access mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary configuration of resource grids and channel access parameters before actual data transmission. By pre-configuring resource allocations and access mechanisms based on predicted traffic patterns and service requirements, the system reduces waiting time and preparation delays, thereby lowering latency without significantly increasing operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
