LTE TDD Subframe Scheduling for Retransmission Conflict Avoidance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In the LTE TDD mode, data packet retransmissions can lead to conflicts when dynamical subframes are adjusted, resulting in inefficient resource utilization and reduced data transmission performance and scheduling flexibility due to mismatches between uplink and downlink configurations and instantaneous service requirements.
Innovation Solution
The evolved NodeB (eNB) selects a second subframe from a plurality of subframes and sends scheduling signaling to the User Equipment (UE) to retransmit data packets, avoiding conflicts by identifying suitable subframes based on an uplink scheduling sequence, ensuring no downlink data is transmitted in the selected subframe, thus improving data transmission performance and scheduling flexibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If dynamic subframes are introduced to improve resource utilization flexibility, then scheduling flexibility is improved, but data transmission conflicts occur when retransmitting packets
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the retransmission subframe selection adaptive to the current TDD configuration. Instead of using a fixed preconfigured subframe, the eNB dynamically determines the retransmission subframe based on the current uplink-downlink configuration, ensuring the selected subframe is always available for uplink transmission regardless of dynamic changes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses feedback mechanisms where the eNB monitors the current TDD configuration and adjusts the retransmission scheduling accordingly. The eNB provides feedback through scheduling signaling to the UE about which subframe to use for retransmission, ensuring both parties are synchronized with the current configuration state.
2Productivity
If preconfigured uplink subframes are used for retransmission, then retransmission timing is simplified, but resource utilization efficiency decreases when configurations mismatch instantaneous service requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter of retransmission subframe selection from a fixed preconfigured value to a dynamically determined value based on current TDD configuration. This allows the system to adapt to changing service requirements while maintaining clear scheduling rules through standardized selection criteria.
3Stability of the object's composition
If fixed TDD configurations are used according to average service requirements, then system stability is improved, but resource utilization efficiency decreases due to mismatch with instantaneous service requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamics into the retransmission scheduling process while maintaining stability in the overall TDD configuration framework. The eNB can adjust the retransmission subframe selection based on instantaneous service requirements and current configuration, allowing the system to respond to changing demands without destabilizing the fundamental TDD structure.
