Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current multicarrier communication systems face challenges in efficiently managing multiple physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) groups, leading to high PUCCH load on primary cells and potential interference issues due to limited resource allocation and synchronization across secondary cells.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of multiple PUCCH groups, where cells are grouped to distribute CSI reports and HARQ feedbacks across PUCCH SCells, allowing flexible configuration and offloading of PUCCH resources from primary cells to secondary cells, enhancing resource utilization and reducing interference.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If multiple PUCCH groups are implemented to distribute CSI reports and HARQ feedbacks across PUCCH SCells, then PUCCH load on primary cells is reduced and network capacity is improved, but device complexity and resource management complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the network into multiple PUCCH groups, where each group is associated with a specific PUCCH SCell. This segmentation allows CSI reports and HARQ feedbacks to be distributed across multiple secondary cells rather than concentrated on the primary cell, thereby reducing PUCCH load on the primary cell while improving overall network capacity through parallel processing across multiple cells.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements dynamic reconfiguration of PUCCH groups through RRC messages, allowing the network to adaptively adjust which secondary cells serve as PUCCH SCells based on current network conditions. This dynamic approach enables flexible resource management without requiring device reconfiguration or cell deactivation, balancing load distribution while maintaining operational simplicity.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If PUCCH resources are offloaded from primary cells to secondary cells, then interference issues are reduced and resource utilization is enhanced, but synchronization and coordination across multiple cells become more challenging
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-configures PUCCH groups and associates them with specific PUCCH SCells before actual operation. By establishing these groupings in advance through RRC configuration, the system prepares the network for efficient resource distribution without requiring complex real-time synchronization decisions, thereby reducing interference while maintaining manageable coordination complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses RRC messages as an intermediary mechanism to manage PUCCH group configurations and transitions. These messages facilitate coordinated reconfiguration across the network without requiring direct real-time synchronization between cells, allowing resources to be offloaded to secondary cells while maintaining simple synchronization through pre-established configuration relationships.
3Duration of action of stationary object
If flexible reconfiguration of PUCCH groups is allowed without deactivating or releasing secondary cells, then network operation continuity is maintained and battery consumption is reduced, but configuration management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables dynamic reconfiguration of PUCCH groups through RRC messages, allowing the network to flexibly adjust which secondary cells serve as PUCCH SCells based on current conditions. This dynamic approach maintains operation continuity by avoiding cell deactivation while managing configuration complexity through standardized message-based reconfiguration procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes configuration parameters (PUCCH group associations) through RRC message exchanges rather than through cell activation/deactivation. By modifying parameters through controlled signaling, the system maintains continuous operation and reduces battery consumption from cell reconfiguration while managing complexity through parameter-based control rather than structural changes.

AI summary
A wireless device transmits to a base station, channel state information (CSI) of a secondary cell via a first cell of a plurality of cells. One or more configuration parameters indicating that CSI transmission resources for the secondary cell are received in a first subframe via a second cell different from the first cell. Transmission of CSI of the secondary cell via the first cell is stopped in a second subframe occurring a first quantity of subframes after the first subframe. Transmission of CSI of the secondary cell via the second cell is started in a third subframe occurring a second quantity of subframes after the first subframe. The second quantity is greater than the first quantity.
