Solution Overview

Problem

In dynamic TDD systems, there is a lack of effective uplink power control schemes to manage cross-interference between uplink and downlink transmissions between different cells, leading to inefficient channel capacity and increased power consumption.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for controlling uplink power by a terminal and network device, involving the reception of configuration information, determination of uplink power control parameter sets, and performing power adjustments based on interference degrees and resource sets to minimize interference and reduce power consumption.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If uplink power is increased to improve signal quality and channel capacity, then communication reliability is improved, but cross-interference with downlink transmissions in neighboring cells increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidcross-interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic uplink power control where the terminal adjusts its uplink transmission power based on real-time TDD configuration information received from the network device. The power control parameter changes dynamically according to the current uplink-downlink configuration, allowing the system to adapt to varying interference conditions while maintaining communication reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the power control parameter (uplink power) based on the TDD configuration parameter. When the TDD configuration changes between different uplink-downlink patterns, the terminal receives updated power control parameters from the network device and adjusts its transmission power accordingly, thereby resolving the contradiction between maintaining signal quality and reducing cross-interference.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If traditional power control is applied in dynamic TDD scenarios, then channel capacity may be improved, but cross-interference between uplink and downlink transmissions cannot be effectively managed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechannel capacityVSAvoidcross-interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The network device provides feedback to the terminal in the form of TDD configuration information and power control parameters. The terminal uses this feedback to adjust its uplink power, creating a closed-loop control system that simultaneously optimizes channel capacity and manages cross-interference in dynamic TDD scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic power control that adapts to changing TDD configurations. Instead of using fixed power control parameters, the system continuously updates power control parameters based on current TDD configuration information, enabling effective interference management while maintaining high channel capacity utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Object-generated harmful factors

If uplink power is continuously adjusted to adapt to varying interference conditions, then cross-interference is reduced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecross-interferenceVSAvoidpower control system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal autonomously adjusts its uplink power based on TDD configuration information received from the network device. The power control mechanism is self-serving in that the terminal independently makes power adjustments according to the received configuration parameters without requiring complex centralized control, thereby reducing overall system complexity while effectively managing cross-interference.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A method for controlling an uplink power includes: receiving first configuration information sent by a network device; determining at least one uplink power control parameter set; selecting an uplink power control parameter set corresponding to a target transmission resource set from the at least one uplink power control parameter set; and performing uplink power adjustment on the target transmission resource set.
