Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication systems face inefficiencies in transmitting synchronization signals and system information due to fixed time unit reservations, leading to resource wastage and inflexible signal transmission.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If fixed time units are reserved for transmitting first-type signals, then transmission reliability is improved, but resource utilization deteriorates and transmission efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the time unit allocation flexible rather than fixed. The receiving node dynamically determines the location of time units for second-type signals based on actual transmission needs, allowing the system to adapt between reliable fixed allocation and efficient dynamic allocation depending on the quantity of first-type signals to be transmitted.
2Ease of manufacture
If fixed time units are reserved for transmitting first-type signals, then resource allocation simplicity is improved, but resource wastage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes resource allocation dynamic by allowing the receiving node to flexibly determine time unit locations based on actual needs. When fewer first-type signals need transmission, fewer time units are allocated, preventing resource wastage while maintaining allocation simplicity through clear signaling mechanisms.
3Productivity
If the quantity of time units varies with the quantity of first-type signals, then resource utilization is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by having the sending node indicate the quantity of first-type signals before transmission begins. This allows the receiving node to pre-determine the appropriate number of time units needed, enabling flexible resource allocation without requiring complex real-time adjustments during signal transmission.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses feedback mechanisms where the receiving node determines time unit locations based on the quantity of first-type signals received from the sending node. This feedback loop enables the system to dynamically adjust resource allocation to match actual transmission needs, improving resource utilization while managing complexity through structured communication protocols.

AI summary
An embodiment of this application provides a method for transmission in a time interval. The time interval includes one or more first time units and one or more second time units. The one or more first time units are used to transmit a first-type signal, and a quantity of first time units is associated with a quantity of first-type signals. The one or more second time units are used to transmit a second-type signal. In the method, a receiving node may obtain time unit information, where the time unit information is used to obtain a location of the one or more second time units, that is, determine a time domain location of the second-type time-frequency resource in the time interval. Then, the receiving node may receive or send the second-type signal on the second-type time-frequency resource.
