Dynamic Signal Transmission Timing for Aperiodic SRS

The patent applies dynamics by making the signal transmission timing adaptable rather than fixed. The terminal device dynamically determines the transmission location based on multiple factors including priority of signals, uplink-downlink pattern configuration, minimum time interval requirements, and time window requirements. This dynamic approach allows the system to adjust timing relationships in real-time based on actual network conditions and signal characteristics, resolving the contradiction between having a determination method and maintaining flexibility.

The patent changes multiple timing parameters simultaneously to achieve flexibility. Instead of using a single fixed timing relationship, the system varies parameters such as transmission location, time interval, and time window based on different signal priorities and configuration requirements. This parameter change approach enables the system to adapt to various scenarios while maintaining a structured determination process.

The patent segments the timing determination process into multiple independent factors: priority of signals, uplink-downlink pattern configuration, minimum time interval requirements, and time window requirements. Each factor can be independently considered and adjusted, allowing the system to flexibly determine transmission locations across different time domains without being constrained by a single fixed timing relationship, thus improving both flexibility and ease of scheduling.

The patent creates a universal timing determination mechanism that can handle multiple signal types and scenarios through a single integrated approach. The same determination process applies to different signals (e.g., SRS, CSI-RS) and different triggering conditions, making the system universally applicable while maintaining ease of operation through a standardized procedure.

The patent applies local quality by assigning different transmission characteristics to different signals based on their priorities. High-priority signals receive preferential treatment in terms of transmission timing and location selection, while lower-priority signals are scheduled accordingly. This localized differentiation allows multiple signals to be transmitted with increased opportunities while maintaining stable time domain arrangement through priority-based organization.

The patent implements preliminary action by determining the transmission location of signals before actual transmission occurs. The terminal device proactively identifies appropriate time domains and locations based on priority and configuration requirements, preventing time domain overlapping issues in advance. This preliminary determination ensures that multiple signals can be scheduled efficiently without compromising time domain stability.
