Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication systems face challenges in dynamically informing user equipment about resource element mapping for channel state information reference signals, leading to inefficiencies in data transmission and reception.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If dynamic resource element mapping for CSI-RS is implemented, then adaptability and data reception precision are improved, but device complexity and signaling overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the resource configuration into multiple zeroTxPowerResourceConfigLists, where each list contains resource element positions for specific antenna ports. This segmentation allows selective application of different resource configurations for different antenna ports, enabling dynamic adaptation without requiring complete reconfiguration of all resources.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic switching between different resource configurations using the PDSCH RE mapping indicator (PRI) field in DCI. This allows the system to dynamically select which zeroTxPowerResourceConfigList to apply based on current transmission requirements, providing adaptability while maintaining manageable complexity through standardized switching mechanisms.
2Measurement precision
If multiple zeroTxPowerResourceConfigLists are used for different antenna ports, then measurement precision and data reception are improved, but information processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by creating specific zeroTxPowerResourceConfigLists tailored to different antenna port configurations. Each list contains resource element positions optimized for specific antenna ports, allowing precise channel state information measurement for each port while maintaining organized, manageable configuration structures.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses the PRI field as an intermediary mechanism to manage multiple resource configurations. This intermediary allows the system to handle multiple zeroTxPowerResourceConfigLists without requiring complex processing, as the PRI simply indicates which configuration to apply, reducing the burden on user equipment.
3Adaptability or versatility
If PDSCH RE mapping indicator is frequently updated, then adaptability is improved, but transmission overhead and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements partial action by updating only the necessary PRI field in DCI rather than reconfiguring entire resource allocations. This allows frequent adaptation with minimal overhead, as only the mapping indicator needs to change while the underlying resource configurations remain stable and reusable.

AI summary
According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method of receiving a downlink signal, which is received by a user equipment in a wireless communication system, includes the steps of receiving a TxPowerResourceConfigList for a user equipment which is not configured with a transmission mode 10 and one or more zeroTxPowerResourceConfigLists and receiving a DCI (downlink control channel) including a PRI (PDSCH RE mapping indicator). In this case, the user equipment can recognize whether a PDSCH (physical downlink shared channel) is mapped to REs (resource elements) to which a CSI-RS is transmittable using the one or more zeroTxPowerResourceConfigLists and the PRI.
