Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If each cell changes the frame structure according to traffic load dynamic adaptation or performs flexible duplex according to uplink and downlink configuration, then traffic load requirements are met and traffic load changes are matched, but cross link interference (CLI) problem occurs between adjacent cells and data transmission performance is influenced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraffic adaptationVSAvoidcross link interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a sensing mechanism where user equipment measures channel occupancy in candidate time domain resources and feeds back sensing results to the network. The network uses this feedback information to determine whether to adjust the time domain resource configuration, creating a closed-loop system that adapts to interference conditions while maintaining traffic flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs channel sensing and interference measurement in advance before finalizing time domain resource allocation. By evaluating channel occupancy and interference levels in candidate resources beforehand, the system can proactively select resources that minimize cross-link interference while satisfying traffic adaptation requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If dynamic uplink and downlink configuration is implemented to meet traffic requirements, then traffic adaptation is achieved, but scheduling and hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes become complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedynamic configurationVSAvoidscheduling complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables dynamic adjustment of time domain resource configurations including slot formats, periodicities, and offsets based on traffic conditions and interference measurements. This dynamic capability allows the system to adapt scheduling parameters in real-time while maintaining manageable complexity through structured adjustment mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent divides the time domain resources into configurable slots, mini-slots, and symbols with distinct functions. By segmenting the transmission timeline into manageable units with specific roles (data transmission, reference signals, feedback), the system simplifies scheduling and HARQ process management while maintaining dynamic adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If flexible duplex is implemented to support traffic adaptation, then uplink and downlink traffic requirements are met, but original scheduled data transmission becomes problematic under severe cross link interference

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraffic transmission efficiencyVSAvoiddata transmission reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses sensing feedback from user equipment about channel occupancy and interference conditions to determine whether to maintain or adjust scheduled data transmission. This feedback mechanism enables the system to preserve reliable transmission by avoiding resources with severe cross-link interference while maintaining flexible duplex operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent converts the harmful effect of cross-link interference into useful information by using sensing measurements of interference levels to guide resource allocation decisions. Resources that would otherwise be problematic are identified through sensing, and the system adapts by selecting alternative resources or adjusting transmission parameters, turning the interference detection capability into a protective mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)
