Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If diversified and flexible PDCCH configurations are implemented in 5G NR, then the adaptability and functionality of the system are improved, but the device complexity and calculation load increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovePDCCH configuration flexibilityVSAvoidparameter processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-calculating de-mapping parameters and blind detection parameters during semi-static processing before the actual PDCCH reception. This includes generating all possible parameter combinations and storing them in advance, so that during dynamic processing, the receiver only needs to retrieve and use the pre-calculated parameters corresponding to the current configuration, rather than calculating them in real-time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive parameter calculation is performed for all PDCCH configurations, then the measurement precision and reliability of parameter processing are improved, but the time consumption exceeds the TTI duration

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparameter processing accuracyVSAvoidcalculation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs all necessary parameter calculations in advance during semi-static processing, generating comprehensive de-mapping parameters and blind detection parameters for all possible PDCCH configurations. These pre-calculated parameters are stored and ready for immediate retrieval during dynamic processing, ensuring both high precision and timely completion within TTI constraints.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the parameter processing into two distinct phases: semi-static processing where comprehensive parameter calculation and storage occur, and dynamic processing where only parameter retrieval and application are performed. This segmentation allows the computationally intensive calculations to be done when time is not constrained, while the time-critical reception phase only performs lightweight operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If real-time parameter calculation is performed during dynamic processing, then the productivity and response speed are improved, but the calculation load cannot be completed within the TTI time constraint

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation processing efficiencyVSAvoidTTI duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent calculates all necessary de-mapping parameters and blind detection parameters in advance during semi-static processing, storing them for rapid retrieval during dynamic processing. This eliminates the need for real-time calculation during the time-constrained TTI, allowing the system to maintain high productivity by simply retrieving pre-computed parameters rather than performing intensive calculations under time pressure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
