Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies for improving transmission reliability in wireless communication systems, such as Multi-TRP and Multi-Panel systems, face resource occupancy issues due to repetitive transmission methods.

Innovation Solution

The method involves acquiring K copies of reference signal parameters for N repetitive transmissions of a physical channel, allowing for efficient resource utilization by optimizing the parameters for each transmission.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If repetitive transmission is performed N times to improve transmission reliability, then the reliability of physical channel transmission is improved, but the resource occupancy increases N times

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission reliabilityVSAvoidresource occupancy
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the N repetitive transmissions into K groups, where each group uses a separate reference signal parameter copy. This segmentation allows the system to manage reference signal resources more efficiently by grouping transmissions rather than treating each transmission individually, thereby reducing overall resource occupancy while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter configuration by introducing K copies of reference signal parameters instead of using the same parameters for all N transmissions. This parameter variation enables different transmission groups to use optimized reference signal configurations, improving resource utilization efficiency while maintaining the required transmission reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If K copies of reference signal parameters are used for N repetitive transmissions, then the resource utilization efficiency is improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilization efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates K copies of reference signal parameters that can serve multiple transmission groups. Each parameter copy is universal and can be applied to multiple transmissions within its group, allowing the system to handle N repetitive transmissions with only K parameter sets. This multi-functionality approach improves resource utilization without proportionally increasing system complexity.

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