Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems allocate uplink resources without considering the size of uplink data to be transmitted, leading to increased transmission time or resource wastage, as they rely on scheduling request messages without providing information on data size.

Innovation Solution

The electronic device determines transmission power and resource allocation based on the size of uplink data, using physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources to identify and allocate appropriate physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resources accordingly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If uplink resources having a relatively small size are allocated, then resource wastage is reduced, but transmission time increases and additional messages are required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource wastageVSAvoidtransmission time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of resource allocation size based on the reception intensity of the scheduling request message. By measuring the reception intensity (signal strength) of the SR message, the network can dynamically adjust the allocated uplink resource size to match the actual data transmission needs, thereby avoiding both resource wastage and excessive transmission time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a feedback mechanism where the network measures the reception intensity of the scheduling request message and uses this feedback information to determine the appropriate resource allocation size. This feedback loop enables adaptive resource allocation that responds to actual channel conditions and data size requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Loss of time

If uplink resources having a relatively large size are allocated, then transmission time is reduced, but resource wastage increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission timeVSAvoidresource wastage
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent dynamically changes the resource allocation parameter based on reception intensity measurements. When reception intensity is high, smaller resource sizes are allocated; when reception intensity is low, larger resource sizes are allocated. This parameter adaptation resolves the contradiction between transmission time and resource wastage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent makes the resource allocation dynamic rather than static. The allocation size is adjusted in real-time based on the measured reception intensity of scheduling request messages, allowing the system to adapt to varying data sizes and channel conditions, thereby optimizing both transmission time and resource utilization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Device complexity

If predetermined size uplink resources are allocated without identifying data size, then allocation process is simplified, but transmission efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveallocation process complexityVSAvoidtransmission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the manual or complex method of data size estimation with an automated signal-based measurement system. By using reception intensity measurement of the scheduling request message as a proxy for data size indication, the system automatically determines appropriate resource allocation without requiring complex data size reporting mechanisms from the UE

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
