1Productivity

If traditional resource selection methods are used for multiple consecutive slot transmissions, then the system complexity is low, but the transmission efficiency and resource utilization are suboptimal

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The resource selection process is segmented into distinct phases: identifying parameter sets, determining resource selection window, selecting candidate resources, and performing transmission. This segmentation allows each phase to be optimized independently, improving overall transmission efficiency while maintaining manageable complexity through structured processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by identifying parameter sets and resource selection windows before actual transmission occurs. Candidate resources are pre-selected and evaluated against thresholds before commitment, enabling more efficient transmissions while reducing complexity through advance planning and preparation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes parameters by identifying specific parameter sets for MCST and using these parameters to determine resource selection windows and evaluate candidate resources against thresholds. This parameter-driven approach reduces interference through optimized resource selection while maintaining ease of operation through standardized parameter sets

Inventive Principle:
