Solution Overview

Problem

In the context of 5G New Radio (NR), the decoding failure of Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) occurs due to miss detection of the first CSI part, leading to incorrect resource allocation for the second CSI part and UL data, resulting in decoding failures at the gNB.

Innovation Solution

Implement resource mapping schemes for Uplink Control Information (UCI) on PUSCH, including frequency-first and time-first mapping, hybrid mapping, and predefined or dynamically indicated starting positions for CSI and UL data, ensuring robust performance and accurate decoding even with miss detection of the first CSI part.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If resource allocation for CSI parts is dynamically determined based on first CSI part detection, then resource allocation flexibility is improved, but decoding reliability deteriorates due to miss detection propagation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation flexibilityVSAvoiddecoding reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring multiple resource allocation schemes (first resource allocation scheme and second resource allocation scheme) before transmission. The gNB and UE both prepare multiple possible resource allocations in advance, so that when miss detection occurs, the system can switch to a pre-prepared alternative without propagation of errors, thus maintaining decoding reliability while preserving allocation flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements beforehand cushioning by creating redundancy through multiple resource allocation schemes. This cushioning layer protects against the harmful effect of miss detection propagation - when the first CSI part is missed, the system has pre-prepared fallback allocations that prevent decoding failure, thus cushioning the blow to reliability while maintaining adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

2Adaptability or versatility

If starting position for CSI is dynamically indicated, then resource mapping adaptability is improved, but detection complexity increases leading to miss detection

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource mapping adaptabilityVSAvoiddetection complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the resource allocation indication into multiple parts: some resource allocation parameters are dynamically indicated while others are pre-configured or follow predetermined rules. This segmentation reduces the detection burden on the UE by not requiring dynamic indication of all parameters, thereby reducing detection complexity and miss detection while maintaining resource mapping adaptability through the dynamically indicated portions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If robust resource mapping is implemented to prevent miss detection propagation, then decoding reliability is improved, but resource allocation flexibility deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedecoding reliabilityVSAvoidresource allocation flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the resource allocation scheme selectable and switchable between different modes. The system can dynamically choose between first resource allocation scheme (with higher flexibility) and second resource allocation scheme (with higher robustness) based on channel conditions and traffic requirements. This dynamic selection allows the system to achieve both reliability and flexibility - using robust schemes when needed and flexible schemes when conditions permit.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
