Solution Overview

Problem

The reliability of data transmission in the random access procedure of wireless communications systems, particularly for high-reliability and low-latency data such as URLLC, is not adequately met by existing technologies, leading to increased access delay and suboptimal user experience.

Innovation Solution

Configuring at least two frequency domain resources for transmitting connection resumption, establishment, or reestablishment requests, allowing the use of these resources independently or within the same or different Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) processes to enhance reliability and reduce delay.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a single frequency domain resource is used for random access procedure, then device complexity is reduced, but transmission reliability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission reliabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the frequency domain resource into multiple resources (first frequency domain resource and second frequency domain resource) and assigns them to different random access procedures (first random access procedure and second random access procedure). This segmentation allows the system to achieve higher transmission reliability by diversifying the frequency resources while maintaining manageable device complexity through structured resource allocation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If multiple frequency domain resources are configured for connection requests, then transmission reliability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection request transmission reliabilityVSAvoidresource configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating the configuration of first and second frequency domain resources based on the specific random access procedures they serve. Each frequency resource is optimized for its corresponding procedure type (connection establishment, resumption, or reestablishment), allowing the system to achieve high reliability for connection requests while managing complexity through targeted, procedure-specific resource allocation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Loss of time

If single frequency resource is used, then resource use efficiency is improved, but access delay increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess delayVSAvoidresource use efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamics by enabling the terminal to dynamically select between first and second frequency domain resources based on the type of random access procedure and current system conditions. This dynamic resource selection allows the system to reduce access delay for critical connection requests while maintaining overall resource use efficiency through flexible allocation strategies.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

This application provides a data transmission method and an apparatus. In this method, at least two frequency domain resources are configured for transmission of a connection resumption request, a connection establishment request, or a connection reestablishment request, and the connection resumption request, the connection establishment request, or the connection reestablishment request is sent by using the at least two frequency domain resources. According to this method, reliability of the transmission of the connection resumption request, the connection establishment request, or the connection reestablishment request can be improved by using a frequency selective gain.
