Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication systems face challenges in efficiently transmitting HARQ-ACK feedback information due to inconsistent understanding between network devices and terminals, resource wastage, and inability to meet varying reliability and latency requirements for different downlink data services, particularly in semi-static and dynamic feedback modes.

Innovation Solution

A method where a network device sends downlink control information to a terminal device to determine a feedback parameter for the HARQ-ACK codebook, including the feedback mode and resource allocation, allowing the terminal to adapt the HARQ-ACK codebook transmission accordingly, whether in semi-static or dynamic feedback modes, to meet specific service requirements without resource wastage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If semi-static feedback mode is used, then resource allocation is simplified, but adaptability to different service requirements deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation simplicityVSAvoidadaptability to different service requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic feedback mode where the HARQ-ACK codebook size and feedback resources are determined dynamically based on downlink control information and service requirements, allowing the system to adapt to different reliability and latency needs while maintaining efficient resource allocation through standardized procedures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If dynamic feedback mode is used, then adaptability to different service requirements is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes feedback parameters (codebook size, feedback resources) dynamically based on downlink control information and service type indicators, allowing adaptation to different requirements while managing complexity through parameter-based control rather than structural complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If HARQ-ACK codebook size is increased, then feedback information completeness is improved, but resource usage efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
