Solution Overview

Problem

In wireless communication systems, interference occurs between UEs due to communication between a primary UE and a secondary UE, particularly when the primary UE and secondary UE are close, as existing schemes do not account for their interaction, leading to potential obstruction of communication with other UEs and the base station, and high power consumption.

Innovation Solution

A method involving a primary UE receiving scheduling information from a base station to allocate resources for communication with a secondary UE, where a subframe includes a control signal slot and a data signal slot, with specific configurations for uplink and downlink resources, carrier sensing, and power control to minimize interference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If communication between primary UE and secondary UE is performed without resource allocation from base station, then communication flexibility is improved, but interference with other UEs and base station increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication flexibilityVSAvoidinterference
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the communication resources by dividing them into dedicated resources allocated by the base station and autonomous resources that can be used without base station intervention. This segmentation allows the system to balance between communication flexibility and interference control by enabling UEs to use pre-allocated resources for flexible communication while avoiding uncoordinated access that causes interference.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic resource allocation where the base station can allocate resources adaptively based on current system conditions, traffic patterns, and interference levels. This dynamic approach allows the system to optimize the balance between communication flexibility and interference management by adjusting resource allocation in real-time according to network conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If primary UE and secondary UE communicate at high power, then communication reliability is improved, but power consumption increases and interference to other UEs worsens

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs parameter changes by dynamically adjusting transmission power based on channel conditions, distance between UEs, and quality of service requirements. Instead of using fixed high power, the system adapts power levels to achieve reliable communication at the minimum necessary power, thereby reducing overall power consumption while maintaining communication reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by using high power only when necessary for reliable communication, rather than continuously operating at high power. The system uses power adaptation to apply full power only when channel conditions require it, and reduces power when conditions permit, thus achieving reliability only where needed while minimizing power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Productivity

If subframe is divided into control signal slot and data signal slot, then resource allocation efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the subframe into distinct control signal slots and data signal slots, allowing independent allocation and management of control and data resources. This segmentation improves resource allocation efficiency by enabling precise control over when and how control information and data are transmitted, while the structured nature of the segmentation keeps implementation complexity manageable through clear separation of functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
