1Productivity

If base stations interact through an air interface in full duplex scenario, then timeliness and efficiency of interaction are improved, but intra-cell and inter-cell interferences increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction efficiencyVSAvoidinterference
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The time-frequency resource pool is segmented into first time-frequency resource set and second time-frequency resource set. The first set is used for downlink transmission while the second set is used for uplink transmission, allowing base stations to interact through air interface without causing mutual interference between simultaneous transmissions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different quality characteristics are assigned to different time-frequency resource sets. The first resource set is optimized for downlink with specific reference signal configurations, while the second resource set is optimized for uplink with different reference signal configurations, reducing interference through localized optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Adaptability or versatility

If flexible transmission direction configuration is implemented, then adaptability to different application scenarios is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescenario adaptabilityVSAvoidconfiguration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The transmission direction configuration is made dynamic through the introduction of first signaling and second signaling that can flexibly indicate different time-frequency resource sets for downlink and uplink. This allows the system to adapt to different application scenarios (eMBB, URLLC, mMTC) without requiring complex static configuration for each scenario.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The same time-frequency resource pool structure and signaling mechanism are designed to serve multiple application scenarios universally. The first and second time-frequency resource sets can be configured and used across different scenarios (eMBB, URLLC, mMTC) without requiring scenario-specific hardware or complex configuration, reducing overall device complexity.

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

AI summary

Disclosure provides a method and device in nodes used for wireless communications. A node first transmits a first signaling, the first signaling being used to determine a first time-frequency resource pool; and then monitors a second signaling in the first time-frequency resource pool; the first time-frequency resource pool comprises a first time-frequency resource set and a second time-frequency resource set, and time-frequency resources occupied by the second signaling belong to the first time-frequency resource set or the second time-frequency resource set; the first signaling is used to trigger the second signaling; a first ID is used to generate the second signaling, a first information block is used to generate the second signaling, the first information block is used to determine at least one of a candidate time-frequency resource set or a candidate reference signal resource set. The application improves the interaction mode under full duplex, thereby optimizing the system performance.
