Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication protocols restrict user equipment from reporting multiple antenna panels with the same user capability value, limiting the application scenarios for uplink transmission scheduling and failing to determine how network side apparatus provides feedback on beam quality information.
Innovation Solution
The user equipment generates and sends panel information, including user capability value sets for each panel, to the network side apparatus, allowing for the reporting of panels with the same or different user capability values, and the network side apparatus determines the user capability value sets and provides feedback on beam quality information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the existing protocol restricts user equipment from reporting two user capability value sets with the same user capability value, then the protocol complexity is reduced, but the application scenarios of scheduling a plurality of panels in uplink transmission are greatly limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the panel reporting mechanism by introducing panel-specific identifiers (panel IDs) and associating each panel with its corresponding user capability value set. This segmentation allows the network side apparatus to distinguish between multiple panels even when they have identical capability values, thereby enabling simultaneous scheduling of multiple panels while maintaining protocol simplicity through structured information organization.
2Device complexity
If the existing protocol does not determine how network side apparatus sends feedback information after receiving beam quality information, then the feedback mechanism is simplified, but the reliability of beam quality information feedback is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a comprehensive feedback mechanism where the network side apparatus sends feedback information to the user equipment after receiving beam quality information. The feedback includes acknowledgment of received panels, scheduling decisions for uplink transmission, and potential requests for additional information. This closed-loop feedback system ensures reliable communication and allows the user equipment to adjust its transmission strategy based on network responses.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the existing protocol does not determine how uplink scheduling is performed when multiple panels are scheduled, then the scheduling flexibility is reduced, but the scheduling process becomes less complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables dynamic uplink scheduling by allowing the network side apparatus to independently schedule multiple panels based on real-time channel conditions, traffic requirements, and panel capabilities. The scheduling mechanism dynamically adjusts which panels are activated, their transmission parameters, and resource allocation, providing flexible adaptation to varying communication scenarios while maintaining manageable complexity through standardized scheduling procedures.
