Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems, such as LTE, face challenges in efficiently transmitting device-to-device (D2D) signals due to interference and resource allocation issues, particularly in overlapping resource units, which affect system performance and interference management.

Innovation Solution

The method involves setting and using overlapping orthogonal resource patterns, defined by axis-priority mapping, to configure and transmit D2D signals, ensuring efficient resource allocation and minimizing interference by cyclically shifting and reconfiguring resource units on the time and frequency axes.

1Productivity

If orthogonal resource patterns are used for D2D signal transmission, then resource allocation efficiency is improved, but resource unit overlap causes interference between different UEs

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameters of resource patterns by introducing different axis-priority mapping methods (first axis-priority mapping for first orthogonal resource pattern, second axis-priority mapping for second orthogonal resource pattern). This parameter change allows the resource patterns to be configured such that overlapping resource units are minimized while maintaining orthogonal structure, thereby resolving the contradiction between resource allocation efficiency and interference reduction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by configuring different orthogonal resource patterns for different UEs in different local regions of the resource space. By using axis-priority mapping, specific resource units are selectively allocated to different UEs based on their local needs and interference conditions, allowing efficient resource utilization while minimizing interference in specific areas

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Quantity of substance

If resource units are allocated to multiple UEs, then system capacity is improved, but interference management becomes more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the resource space by dividing it into different orthogonal resource patterns with distinct axis-priority mappings. This segmentation allows multiple UEs to be allocated resource units in an organized manner, increasing system capacity while simplifying interference management through structured resource division rather than random allocation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dimensionality change by using axis-priority mapping that operates along different axes (time axis and frequency axis). This multi-dimensional approach to resource allocation allows the system to accommodate more UEs by utilizing resource patterns across multiple dimensions, thereby increasing system capacity while maintaining manageable interference levels through dimensional separation

Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
