Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems face challenges in achieving low-latency signal transmission at super-high speeds in super-high-frequency bands.

Innovation Solution

The method involves a transmitter that sends configuration information and control information, including time domain resource allocation, to a receiver. The transmitter generates a weight for signal processing based on the configuration information and uses this weight to process modulation symbols for transmission, multiplying it for each time sample.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If conventional signal processing methods are used in super-high-frequency bands, then signal transmission can be achieved, but transmission latency is high and processing speed is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal processing speedVSAvoidtransmission latency
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent pre-calculates and stores weights for signal processing operations before actual data transmission occurs. These pre-computed weights are stored in memory and quickly applied during transmission, eliminating the need for real-time complex calculations and thereby reducing processing latency while maintaining high processing speed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a hybrid processing approach where the system dynamically switches between pre-computed weight application for standard operations and real-time computation for exceptional cases. This dynamic adaptation optimizes both processing speed and latency by using the most efficient method appropriate for each specific transmission scenario

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Measurement precision

If real-time weight calculation is performed for each transmission, then signal accuracy is maintained, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-calculates signal processing weights based on channel characteristics and stores them for rapid retrieval. This preliminary computation ensures signal accuracy is maintained while avoiding time-consuming real-time calculations during actual data transmission

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates and stores copies of pre-computed weight values in memory. These copied weights can be quickly applied multiple times without re-computation, maintaining processing accuracy while significantly reducing the time required for each individual transmission operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs complex signal processing computations in advance and stores the results as pre-computed weights. This shifts the computational burden from the transmission phase to a setup phase, allowing high data transmission rates to be achieved during actual operation without requiring complex real-time processing algorithms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces complex real-time computational mechanisms with simpler weight multiplication operations. By substituting intricate signal processing algorithms with straightforward applications of pre-computed weights, the system achieves high productivity while reducing device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
