1Object-affected harmful factors

If guard intervals are inserted in the frequency domain to solve inter-subband interference, then interference is reduced, but spectral efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the frequency domain resource blocks into multiple groups, where each group undergoes separate inverse Fourier transform operations. This segmentation allows independent processing of different frequency segments, reducing spectral leakage and inter-subband interference without requiring guard intervals, thereby maintaining spectral efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary processing step where frequency domain resource blocks are divided into multiple groups before transformation. This intermediary grouping structure acts as a mediator that prevents direct spectral leakage between adjacent subbands, eliminating the need for guard intervals while preserving frequency resource utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If guard bandwidth is inserted between transmission bandwidths with different parameter sets, then orthogonality disruption is prevented, but frequency resource waste occurs

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments frequency domain resource blocks into multiple groups and applies separate inverse Fourier transform operations to each group. This segmentation enables different parameter sets to be applied to different groups without requiring guard bandwidth, as each group is independently transformed, thereby maintaining subcarrier orthogonality while avoiding frequency resource waste.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables dynamic configuration of parameter sets for different frequency domain resource block groups. Each group can be independently configured with appropriate parameters and transformed separately, allowing the system to adapt to different scenarios without static guard bandwidth requirements, thus improving frequency resource utilization while maintaining orthogonality.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments frequency domain resource blocks into multiple groups, allowing each group to be configured with different parameter sets suitable for specific communication scenarios. By performing separate inverse Fourier transform operations on each group, the patent enables diverse waveform schemes while preventing spectral leakage and inter-subband interference through independent processing boundaries.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies the principle of local quality by allowing different parameter configurations and processing methods for different frequency domain resource block groups. Each group can be optimized for specific local requirements (e.g., different subcarrier spacings, cyclic prefix lengths), enabling scenario-specific adaptability while maintaining overall system performance through localized optimization without causing inter-group interference.

Inventive Principle:
