Problem

Current wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently managing signaling pulse shaping, particularly in 5G/NR systems, which require advanced techniques to accommodate varying services and applications with different requirements.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a base station (BS) and user equipment (UE) system that determines and transmits spectral extension indices (SEIndex) and frequency domain spectral shaping type indices (FDSSTypeIndex) to enable effective signaling pulse shaping, allowing for dynamic configuration of spectral extension ratios and frequency domain spectral shaping values.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional signaling methods are used in 5G/NR systems, then system complexity is reduced, but the ability to accommodate varying services and applications with different requirements deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to accommodate varying services and applicationsVSAvoidsignaling complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic signaling where the spectral extension index and frequency domain spectral shaping type index are determined and transmitted for each transmission time interval based on current system conditions and service requirements. This allows the signaling to adapt dynamically to varying services and applications while maintaining manageable complexity through structured index-based control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes signaling parameters by introducing spectral extension index and frequency domain spectral shaping type index as configurable parameters that can be adjusted according to different service requirements. These parameter changes enable flexible accommodation of various services without requiring complete redesign of the signaling framework.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If spectral extension and frequency domain spectral shaping are applied, then PAPR performance is improved, but signaling overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovePAPR performanceVSAvoidsignaling overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses index values as intermediaries to convey spectral extension and frequency domain spectral shaping configuration information. Instead of transmitting detailed configuration data, the system transmits compact index values that reference pre-defined spectral shapes and extension ratios, significantly reducing signaling overhead while maintaining the ability to achieve improved PAPR performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If dynamic configuration of spectral extension ratios and frequency domain spectral shaping values is implemented, then service flexibility is improved, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice flexibilityVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the spectral shaping configuration into discrete, manageable components represented by indices. The spectral extension ratio and frequency domain spectral shaping type are divided into separate index parameters that can be independently determined and configured. This segmentation reduces processing complexity by breaking down the configuration task into smaller, more manageable steps while maintaining service flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Methods and apparatuses for signaling pulse shaping in a wireless communication system. A method of BS includes determining a spectral extension index (SEIndex) and a frequency domain spectral shaping type index (FDSSTypeIndex) for at least one transmission time interval (TTI) and transmitting, to a UE, the SEIndex and the FDSSTypeIndex. The method further includes receiving, from the UE, uplink (UL) data based on a spectral extension (SE) ratio associated with the SEIndex and frequency domain spectral shaping (FDSS) values. The FDSS values are associated with the FDSSTypeIndex.
