Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by configuring different SRS resource set rules with specific power control parameters for different duplex modes. The network node provides mode-specific configurations that tailor power control behavior to either half-duplex or full-duplex operation, allowing localized optimization of power levels to reduce inter-cell interference while maintaining spectral efficiency in full-duplex scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements parameter changes by dynamically adjusting power control parameters (such as power offsets, path loss compensation factors) based on the duplex mode. The network node configures different parameter sets for SRS resource sets associated with half-duplex versus full-duplex modes, enabling the system to adapt power levels to changing operational conditions and mitigate interference.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing SRS resource sets into distinct groups with different power control configurations for half-duplex and full-duplex modes. This segmentation allows the UE to apply pre-configured rules specific to each duplex mode, improving power control efficiency without requiring complex real-time calculations, as the configurations are prepared in advance by the network node.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary action by having the network node provide and configure SRS resource set rules in advance for both half-duplex and full-duplex modes. The UE receives and stores these configurations beforehand, so when switching between duplex modes, the device can immediately apply the appropriate pre-configured power control rules without complex real-time decision-making, thus improving efficiency while managing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
