Solution Overview

Problem

The existing wireless communication systems face challenges in measuring and addressing cross-link interference between terminals, particularly in full-duplex transmission scenarios, as base stations cannot obtain measurement results until after scheduling is complete.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a power headroom report method that includes reporting capability information, such as support for full duplex, through specific channels and resources, allowing base stations to adjust transmit power and manage interference effectively.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If full-duplex transmission is implemented to increase data rate and spectrum efficiency, then productivity is improved, but cross-link interference between terminals occurs causing loss of information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata rateVSAvoidcross-link interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal performs cross-link interference measurement before data transmission by receiving a reference signal from another terminal. Based on this preliminary measurement, the terminal determines whether to transmit data, thereby preventing interference-related information loss before it occurs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The measurement result of cross-link interference is fed back to control the data transmission decision. The terminal uses the measured interference level to determine whether the channel is suitable for transmission, creating a closed-loop control system that prevents information loss

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Ease of operation

If base station schedules terminals without prior interference measurement, then ease of operation is improved, but measurement precision is insufficient because measurement can only be done at terminal after scheduling

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveschedulingVSAvoidcross-link interference measurement
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary interference measurement by transmitting a reference signal before actual data transmission. This allows the terminal to measure cross-link interference in advance, providing accurate measurement data for scheduling decisions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

A reference signal is introduced as an intermediary element between scheduling and data transmission. This reference signal enables the terminal to measure cross-link interference without requiring base station involvement in the measurement process, maintaining ease of operation while improving measurement precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
