Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If transmission parameters are determined based on fixed SRS resource sets, then configuration simplicity is maintained, but adaptability to changing transmission environments deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to transmission environment changesVSAvoidtransmission parameter configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by enabling the terminal device to dynamically determine transmission parameters based on current spatial information rather than using fixed pre-configured parameters. The terminal device selects appropriate SRS resource sets and determines transmission parameters adaptively according to real-time transmission environment characteristics, allowing the system to respond to changing conditions while maintaining manageable complexity through standardized selection criteria.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Measurement precision

If multiple SRS resource sets are configured for different antenna panels, then transmission accuracy for each panel is improved, but determination complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission parameter accuracyVSAvoidparameter determination difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by associating different SRS resource sets with different antenna panels or spatial information types. Each SRS resource set is specifically configured for particular spatial characteristics, allowing the terminal device to select the appropriate resource set based on the current transmission requirements. This segmented approach improves measurement precision for each panel while managing determination complexity through clear association rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by configuring different SRS resource sets with different parameters optimized for specific spatial conditions or antenna panels. Each resource set has localized optimization for its associated spatial information, enabling accurate transmission parameter determination for each specific panel or spatial scenario while maintaining overall system manageability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If transmission parameters are updated frequently to adapt to environment changes, then transmission reliability is improved, but signaling overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission reliabilityVSAvoidsignaling overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring multiple SRS resource sets with different transmission parameters before actual transmission occurs. The terminal device selects from these pre-prepared resource sets based on current spatial information, avoiding the need for frequent real-time parameter updates and reducing signaling overhead while maintaining transmission reliability through appropriate parameter selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
