Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication methods face challenges in scheduling free transmission due to uncertainty in user detection, leading to high decoding complexity and reduced demodulation performance, especially in scenarios where users randomly select transmission signatures or reference signals, resulting in channel estimation inaccuracies and residual interference.

Innovation Solution

A partial pseudo-randomization processing method is applied, where only part of the bit sequence is pseudo-randomized and encoded, with the remaining bits processed in a manner agreed upon with the receiving side, followed by encoding, and on the receiving side, the decoded bits undergo partial pseudo-randomization removal to recover the original sequence.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If full pseudo-randomization processing is applied to all bits before encoding, then interference randomization is improved, but encoding and decoding complexity increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterference randomizationVSAvoidencoding and decoding complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the bit sequence into multiple segments and applies pseudo-randomization processing to only certain segments (e.g., data bits) while leaving other segments (e.g., pilot bits or specific position bits) unprocessed or processed differently. This segmentation allows the system to achieve interference randomization where needed while avoiding the complexity of processing all bits, thus resolving the contradiction between reliability improvement and complexity reduction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If scrambling code is determined before FEC decoding, then demodulation performance is improved, but user detection uncertainty causes performance degradation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedemodulation performanceVSAvoiduser detection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary pseudo-randomization processing on the bit sequence before encoding and channel transmission. The receiving end can perform corresponding preliminary processing (such as partial descrambling) before FEC decoding based on preliminary user detection results. This preliminary action allows the system to improve demodulation performance while accommodating the uncertainty in user detection, as the preliminary processing can be adjusted or refined after initial detection.

3Stability of the object's composition

If all bits are processed with pseudo-randomization, then bit sequence randomness is improved, but channel estimation precision is reduced due to increased residual error

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebit sequence randomnessVSAvoidchannel estimation precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different processing qualities to different parts of the bit sequence. Specifically, pseudo-randomization processing is applied to data bits to improve randomness and interference randomization, while pilot bits or specific reference bits are either left unprocessed or processed with different parameters to maintain their quality for accurate channel estimation. This local differentiation of processing quality resolves the contradiction between improving bit sequence randomness and maintaining channel estimation precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
