Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently managing resource allocation for GI-based waveforms, leading to inefficiencies in communication processes.

Innovation Solution

The proposed solution involves a method where a UE receives resource allocation and GI-based waveform parameters from a network entity, along with quantized resource allocation parameters, to communicate effectively using these parameters.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If resource allocation parameters are precisely specified for GI-based waveforms, then communication performance is improved, but signaling overhead increases

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential resource allocation parameters needed for GI-based waveform communication and quantizes them to discrete levels. This selective extraction and quantization reduces the amount of signaling information while maintaining the critical parameters necessary for communication performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms continuous resource allocation parameters into discrete quantized parameter sets. By changing the parameter representation from continuous to discrete values, the signaling overhead is reduced while the essential communication performance is preserved through the quantized parameter indication.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If detailed resource allocation parameters are transmitted, then communication accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the resource allocation parameters into distinct quantized sets that can be independently selected and indicated. This segmentation allows the system to maintain accuracy for critical parameters while simplifying the overall parameter structure, thereby reducing system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by providing quantized parameter sets that contain only the necessary level of detail for accurate communication. Rather than transmitting complete detailed parameters, the quantized sets provide sufficient information for communication accuracy while reducing the complexity of parameter management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a network entity, one or more first signals that indicate a resource allocation and that indicate a set of guard interval (GI)-based waveform parameters for a GI-based waveform associated with the UE. The UE may receive, from the network entity, an indication of one or more quantized resource allocation parameters associated with the GI-based waveform. The indication may include one or more formulas for determination of the one or more quantized resource allocation parameters, the one or more quantized resource allocation parameters, or both. The UE may communicate the GI-based waveform with the network entity using the one or more quantized resource allocation parameters and the set of GI-based waveform parameters.
