Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems, particularly in 5G NR, face challenges in efficiently managing overlapping uplink transmissions where uplink control information and data overlap in the time domain, leading to inefficiencies in resource allocation and transmission modes.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a method where user equipment (UE) receives an overlapping uplink transmission configuration from a base station, allowing it to detect and manage overlapping uplink transmissions by applying configured modes such as multiplexing, priority-based, or simultaneous transmission based on capabilities and priorities, optimizing resource utilization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If uplink control information and uplink data are transmitted simultaneously in overlapping time resources, then resource utilization and communication efficiency are improved, but transmission conflicts and interference between control and data channels increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilization efficiencyVSAvoidtransmission reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic selection between simultaneous transmission and multiplexing modes based on real-time detection of overlapping uplink transmissions. The system transitions from static resource allocation to dynamic mode selection, adapting the transmission strategy according to the detected overlap conditions between PUCCH and PUSCH resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the transmission parameter by selecting different modes (simultaneous transmission vs. multiplexing) based on the overlapping configuration detection. This parameter change allows the system to optimize between throughput and reliability by adjusting the transmission approach according to the specific overlap scenario detected.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If the system supports both simultaneous transmission and multiplexing modes for overlapping uplink transmissions, then adaptability and versatility are improved, but device complexity and configuration management increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission mode adaptabilityVSAvoidconfiguration management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring the UE with overlapping uplink transmission modes through RRC signaling before actual transmissions occur. The base station provides advance configuration including simultaneous transmission mode and multiplexing mode parameters, so the UE is prepared with multiple transmission strategies ready for selection based on detected conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback through the detection mechanism that monitors overlapping uplink transmission conditions and uses this information to select the appropriate transmission mode. The system continuously feedbacks on the overlap detection results and adjusts the transmission mode accordingly, creating a closed-loop control system that manages complexity through intelligent decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
