Solution Overview

Problem

Current 5G communication systems face challenges in optimizing uplink signal power control, which affects data reception performance and power efficiency, particularly in managing frequency domain resources for physical uplink shared channels (PUSCH) in wireless communication networks.

Innovation Solution

A method is introduced where a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network determines the frequency domain resources for PUSCH transmission based on indication information, allocating power efficiently by distinguishing between allocated and available resources, and adjusting power levels accordingly to ensure optimal data transmission while conserving power.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If power is allocated based on total frequency domain resources allocated to PUSCH, then transmission coverage is ensured, but power consumption increases and reception performance deteriorates when some resources are unavailable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata reception performanceVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating between available and unavailable frequency domain resources within the allocated PUSCH resources. The power control mechanism adjusts transmission power based on the actual number of available resources rather than uniformly applying power across all allocated resources, thereby optimizing both reception performance and power consumption according to the actual usable resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Productivity

If power control does not account for unavailable frequency resources, then implementation is simple, but transmission efficiency decreases and power is wasted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission efficiencyVSAvoidpower control mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by having the UE determine the number of available frequency domain resources before performing power control calculations. The UE identifies unavailable resources (such as those overlapping with downlink resources or flexible resources not allocated for uplink) in advance, and this information is used to adjust the transmission power accordingly, thereby improving transmission efficiency without requiring complex real-time adjustments during data transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If all allocated frequency domain resources are used for PUSCH transmission, then resource utilization is maximized, but interference with downlink or flexible resources occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission performanceVSAvoidinterference with downlink resources
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the taking out principle by extracting unavailable frequency domain resources from the total allocated PUSCH resources. The UE identifies and excludes resources that overlap with downlink resources or flexible resources not allocated for uplink transmission, thereby preventing interference with these resources while still utilizing the available resources for PUSCH transmission effectively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
