Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If PUCCH resources are allocated using conventional methods, then the system can maintain basic uplink control channel transmission, but the uplink channel transmission efficiency is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by systematically varying multiple PUCCH resource parameters including starting symbol indices (e.g., symbols 9 and 12), orthogonal cover code (OCC) indices (0 and 1), and physical resource block (PRB) offsets. By changing these parameters across 16 different PUCCH resources in a resource set, the system achieves better transmission efficiency through optimized resource selection without adding significant system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the PUCCH resources into distinct configurations within a resource set, where each resource is defined by specific combinations of starting symbol, OCC index, and PRB offset. This segmentation allows the UE to select from multiple pre-defined resource options (16 resources total) rather than allocating resources dynamically, improving transmission efficiency while maintaining manageable complexity
2Adaptability or versatility
If the number of PUCCH resources is increased to 16 resources with multiple parameters, then resource allocation flexibility improves, but resource determination complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-configuring 16 PUCCH resources with specific parameter combinations (starting symbols 9/12, OCC indices 0/1, PRB offsets) before transmission. The UE receives this configuration in advance and can directly select from the pre-defined resources based on transmission needs, achieving high flexibility without real-time computation complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent manages complexity through systematic parameter changes across the 16 resources, where each resource varies specific parameters (starting symbol, OCC index, PRB offset) in a controlled manner. This structured parameter variation provides diverse resource options for different transmission scenarios while maintaining deterministic resource selection rules
