Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems, such as LTE, face challenges in efficiently scheduling and transmitting downlink data channels, particularly in achieving reduced latency and increased reliability, due to limitations in scheduling and resource allocation methods.

Innovation Solution

The method involves transmitting and receiving a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) based on rate matching information obtained from the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), with the same rate matching information being used across multiple transmission time intervals (TTIs), allowing for efficient scheduling and repeated transmission of data to enhance reliability and reduce latency.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If downlink data channel is transmitted using conventional scheduling methods in LTE, then system compatibility is maintained, but latency is high and reliability is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission reliabilityVSAvoidtransmission latency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The base station performs rate matching in advance based on predicted channel conditions and prepares pre-coded data blocks before actual transmission. This preliminary preparation allows the UE to quickly decode received signals without waiting for extensive channel estimation and coding operations during each transmission interval, thereby reducing latency while maintaining reliable transmission through pre-optimized coding schemes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts rate matching parameters and transmission configurations based on real-time channel state information and traffic conditions. The base station can flexibly modify coding rates, resource allocation, and modulation schemes across different transmission time intervals, enabling adaptive optimization that simultaneously improves reliability through error correction and reduces latency by selecting faster transmission modes when channel conditions permit

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If rate matching information is separately determined for each TTI, then transmission flexibility is high, but scheduling complexity increases and efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescheduling efficiencyVSAvoidscheduling complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

A single rate matching configuration message from the base station serves multiple transmission time intervals simultaneously, defining universal rate matching parameters that apply across TTIs. This multi-functional approach allows the same configuration to govern resource allocation, coding rates, and resource element mapping for several consecutive transmissions, thereby simplifying scheduling operations and improving efficiency without completely sacrificing the ability to adapt to changing conditions through periodic reconfiguration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
