Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently establishing inter-terminal communication links, particularly in the context of 6G networks, which require high data rates, low latency, and reliable connectivity, due to the complexity of beam management and spatial settings in inter-user equipment (UE) communications.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for performing wireless communication that involves transmitting and monitoring information related to a first time interval for inter-UE physical channel transmission based on a specific reception spatial setting, utilizing transceivers, processors, and memory to facilitate efficient beam pairing and monitoring between UEs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If beam management and spatial settings are implemented in inter-UE communications, then connectivity and data rates are improved, but system complexity and latency increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the beam management process into distinct phases: a first time interval for transmitting beam management information and a second time interval for monitoring inter-UE physical channels. This segmentation allows the system to handle beam pairing and channel monitoring separately, reducing the complexity of simultaneous operations while maintaining reliable connectivity through structured spatial settings.
2Productivity
If beam pairing and monitoring processes are optimized, then productivity and data rates are improved, but the complexity of spatial settings management increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by performing beam management operations in advance during a first time interval before the actual data transmission begins. The transmitting UE sends beam management information and establishes spatial settings beforehand, so that when the second time interval arrives for inter-UE physical channel monitoring, the beam pairing is already optimized. This preliminary preparation enables high data rates without requiring complex real-time spatial settings management during active transmission.
