Group-Scheduling Instruction Processing for Wireless Communication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently processing group-scheduling instructions for multiple user equipment (UE) groups, particularly in coordinating resource allocation and synchronization across UEs with varying capabilities and service requirements.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a group-scheduling instruction method using downlink control information (DCI) with a group radio network temporary identity (RNTI), which allows for flexible scheduling through different types of DCI (first-type, second-type, and third-type) to optimize resource allocation and synchronization among UEs, including multimodal output and federated learning UEs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional individual scheduling methods are used for each UE, then scheduling precision can be maintained, but signaling overhead increases and scheduling efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple individual scheduling instructions into a single group-scheduling instruction that can be simultaneously delivered to multiple UEs. This combining approach reduces the total number of signaling messages while maintaining scheduling precision through the inclusion of individual scheduling information within the group instruction framework.
Solution Approach 2:
The group-scheduling instruction serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as both a group-level coordination message and as individual scheduling instructions for multiple UEs. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate individual scheduling messages, reducing signaling overhead while maintaining scheduling efficiency.
2Adaptability or versatility
If group-scheduling instructions are implemented to reduce signaling overhead, then scheduling flexibility improves, but coordination complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the group-scheduling instruction into multiple components, including group common information and individual scheduling information for different UEs. This segmentation allows the complex coordination task to be broken down into manageable parts, reducing the perceived complexity while maintaining scheduling flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by providing group-level common information that is relevant to all UEs in the group, while simultaneously providing individual scheduling information tailored to each UE's specific requirements. This differentiated approach simplifies coordination by separating common versus individual needs.
3Manufacturing precision
If multiple types of DCI are used for different UE groups, then scheduling precision improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal group-scheduling instruction format that can serve multiple UE groups with different requirements. This single multi-functional instruction type replaces the need for multiple specialized DCI types, reducing device complexity while maintaining scheduling precision through the inclusion of group-specific and UE-specific information fields.
