Solution Overview

Problem

Full-duplex communication in wireless networks faces challenges with self-interference and conflicting transmit power configurations when a subset of radio resources is used for full-duplex and another subset for non-full-duplex communications, leading to degraded reception performance or inefficient transmit power usage.

Innovation Solution

Implementing different transmit power configurations for full-duplex and non-full-duplex portions of time-frequency resources, using open-loop and closed-loop power control parameters to mitigate self-interference and optimize communication efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a single transmit power configuration is used for both full-duplex and non-full-duplex portions, then device complexity is reduced, but self-interference increases and reception performance degrades

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmit power configuration complexityVSAvoidself-interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The time-frequency resource is segmented into full-duplex and non-full-duplex portions, with separate transmit power configurations applied to each portion. This allows independent optimization of power settings for each communication mode, reducing self-interference while maintaining manageable device complexity through structured segmentation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different transmit power configurations are applied locally to different portions of the time-frequency resource based on the communication mode. Full-duplex portions receive configurations optimized for simultaneous transmission and reception, while non-full-duplex portions receive configurations optimized for single-direction communication, thereby reducing self-interference in full-duplex modes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Object-affected harmful factors

If different transmit power configurations are used for full-duplex and non-full-duplex portions, then self-interference is reduced and reception performance is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The transmit power configuration is made dynamic by allowing different configurations for full-duplex and non-full-duplex portions while providing mechanisms for the wireless communication device to determine and adapt to the appropriate configuration based on the communication mode, thereby managing complexity through adaptive determination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The base station provides indications of the transmit power configurations to the wireless communication device, creating a feedback mechanism that guides the device in selecting appropriate power settings for each portion, thereby managing device complexity through external guidance while achieving reduced self-interference.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If transmit power is increased to maintain reception quality in full-duplex mode, then reception performance is maintained, but transmit power efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The transmit power configuration parameters are changed and optimized specifically for full-duplex communication modes, allowing the system to maintain reception performance through parameter optimization rather than simply increasing power, thereby improving power efficiency while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
