Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication technologies face challenges in supporting multiple services with diverse quality of service (QoS) requirements over a single wireless link, particularly in 6G networks, due to varying latency and reliability needs.

Innovation Solution

Implementing joint coding of data streams with error correction codes, allowing for self-decodable blocks and flexible HARQ processes, along with mixed traffic cooperation to manage pre-emption and HARQ feedback.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If multiple services with diverse QoS requirements are transmitted over a single wireless link, then resource utilization is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to varying latency and reliability needs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilizationVSAvoiddata transmission reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The data stream is segmented into multiple code blocks, where at least one code block is self-decodable. This segmentation allows the receiving end to decode critical data independently without waiting for the entire joint coded data, thereby maintaining high reliability for time-sensitive services while still utilizing shared wireless resources efficiently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different code blocks within the joint coded data have different decoding characteristics. At least one code block is designed to be self-decodable with local quality properties, meaning it can be decoded independently with sufficient reliability for its specific service requirements, while other code blocks may rely on joint decoding for optimal performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Productivity

If joint coding is applied to multiple data streams, then transmission efficiency is improved, but decoding complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission efficiencyVSAvoiddecoding complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The joint coded data is divided into multiple code blocks with different decoding dependencies. This segmentation reduces decoding complexity by allowing the receiver to attempt independent decoding of self-decodable blocks first, only proceeding to more complex joint decoding when necessary, thereby managing computational complexity while maintaining transmission efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The decoding process is made dynamic by allowing flexible selection between independent decoding and joint decoding based on channel conditions and service requirements. The system can adaptively choose the appropriate decoding strategy for different code blocks, optimizing the balance between complexity and performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Loss of time

If self-decodable code blocks are used, then latency is reduced through independent decoding, but coding overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedecoding latencyVSAvoidcoding overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of making all code blocks self-decodable (excessive action), the patent applies self-decodable structure only to at least one code block (partial action). This partial application reduces coding overhead compared to full self-decodable schemes while still achieving latency reduction for critical data that requires independent decoding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
