Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently transmitting and receiving signals based on multi-transport block scheduling, particularly in resolving collisions between search spaces and managing resource allocation effectively.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for determining the location of a search space for multi-transport block scheduling, where the location is based on another search space, such as a single-transport block scheduling search space, with the ending position of the multi-transport block scheduling search space being contiguous or having a gap with the starting position of the single-transport block scheduling search space, and the relative position being configured through higher layer signaling.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a search space for multi-transport block scheduling is established independently, then the scheduling flexibility is improved, but the collision with other search spaces increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescheduling flexibilityVSAvoidsearch space collision
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent determines the search space for multi-transport block scheduling in the time domain dimension by establishing a temporal relationship with the single-transport block search space. The ending position of the multi-transport block search space is set to be contiguous with or have a gap from the starting position of the single-transport block search space, effectively utilizing the time dimension to avoid resource conflicts while preserving scheduling flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the search space location is determined independently, then the resource allocation freedom is improved, but the resource allocation efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation freedomVSAvoidresource allocation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent establishes the search space location relationship in advance through higher layer signaling, where the network configures the temporal relationship between multi-transport block and single-transport block search spaces before actual scheduling occurs. This preliminary configuration enables efficient resource allocation by pre-defining the search space positions based on single-transport block scheduling patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Quantity of substance

If the search spaces are positioned close to each other, then the resource utilization is improved, but the interference between search spaces increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilizationVSAvoidsearch space interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a dynamic gap parameter between the multi-transport block search space ending position and the single-transport block search space starting position. This gap can be flexibly configured through higher layer signaling to balance resource utilization and interference avoidance, allowing the system to adapt to different channel conditions and traffic requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

The present invention relates to a method for receiving a downlink signal in a wireless communication system, and apparatus therefor. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus therefor, the method comprising the steps of: receiving configuration information for multiple transport block scheduling; receiving downlink control information (DCI) on the basis of the received configuration information; and receiving at least one transport block on the basis of the received DCI, wherein on the basis of the DCI being received through a specific search space candidate in a search space for multiple transport block scheduling, a start position of the transport block is determined on the basis of an end position and a scheduling delay of the specific search space candidate, and the specific search space candidate and the scheduling delay are equally applied to the determination of the start position of the next transport block.
