Solution Overview

Problem

The increasing demand for high data throughput and communication capacity in wireless communication systems, particularly due to the rise of M2M communication and high-density user equipment, poses challenges in efficiently managing limited radio resources and reducing latency.

Innovation Solution

A method for efficiently transmitting and receiving physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) data by determining PUSCH occasions based on resource allocation and performing transmission only if a predetermined condition is met, which includes considerations such as the next symbol after a PUSCH occasion being the start of another occasion, to optimize resource usage and reduce latency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the number of UEs and data volume increase to satisfy high data throughput demand, then communication capacity increases, but radio resource efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata throughputVSAvoidradio resource efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The PUSCH transmission resources are segmented into multiple PUSCH occasions within a time domain resource allocation. The UE determines multiple PUSCH occasions based on the resource allocation, allowing distributed transmission across different time instances. This segmentation enables better resource utilization and reduces congestion on any single resource, thereby improving radio resource efficiency while maintaining high data throughput capacity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If PUSCH transmission is performed in all allocated occasions, then data throughput is maximized, but latency increases due to unnecessary transmissions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata throughputVSAvoidlatency
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of performing PUSCH transmission in all allocated occasions, the UE applies a determination condition to identify which occasions are necessary. The condition checks whether the next symbol after a PUSCH occasion is the start of another PUSCH occasion or another uplink symbol. This partial action approach avoids unnecessary transmissions while ensuring data is transmitted in time, thereby reducing latency without compromising data throughput.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Productivity

If resource allocation is increased to support high-density UEs, then communication capacity improves, but resource management complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication capacityVSAvoidresource management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The UE autonomously determines which PUSCH occasions are necessary for transmission by evaluating the determination condition itself, without requiring complex centralized resource management. The condition-based self-determination allows each UE to independently optimize its transmission schedule, reducing the overall system's resource management complexity while supporting high-density UE scenarios through efficient autonomous resource utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

UE may: receive resource allocation; determine a plurality of physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) periods on the basis of the resource allocation; when a predetermined condition is satisfied, perform PUSCH transmission on a PUSCH period whose time length is less than or equal to a certain length from among the plurality of PUSCH periods; and when the predetermined condition is not satisfied, omit the PUSCH transmission.
