Solution Overview

Problem

In licensed-assisted access using Long Term Evolution (LAA-LTE) systems, receiving end devices experience high power consumption due to continuous channel detection during data transmission.

Innovation Solution

A data transmission method that determines a candidate-moment set and sends data at a target candidate moment, allowing the receiving device to perform channel detection only at specified moments, reducing unnecessary detection and power consumption.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the receiving end device continuously detects the channel to acquire data, then the data reception reliability is improved, but the power consumption of the receiving device increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata reception reliabilityVSAvoidpower consumption of receiving device
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The receiving device performs channel detection only at predetermined candidate moments rather than continuously. The base station indicates a set of candidate moments to the receiving device, and channel detection is performed periodically at these specific time points, reducing power consumption while maintaining data reception capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The base station pre-indicates the candidate moment set to the receiving device before data transmission occurs. This preliminary action allows the receiving device to prepare its channel detection schedule in advance, knowing exactly when to activate its receiver, thus avoiding continuous operation and reducing power consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
