Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently performing random access procedures due to resource collisions, particularly in next-generation mobile communication systems requiring high data traffic, increased transfer rates, and low latency, where existing techniques struggle to manage the increased demand and diversity of carriers.

Innovation Solution

A method is introduced where a first message and a third message for performing a random access procedure are transmitted using different carriers, preventing resource collisions and optimizing the random access process in wireless communication systems.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If random access procedure uses same carrier for first message and third message, then procedure simplicity is maintained, but resource collision occurs and access efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverandom access efficiencyVSAvoidcarrier management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The random access procedure is segmented into different phases (first message transmission and third message transmission) that utilize different carriers. This segmentation prevents resource collision between messages while maintaining procedural clarity, directly resolving the contradiction between access efficiency and carrier management complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The solution transitions from single-carrier random access to multi-carrier random access by introducing frequency domain diversity. By distributing messages across different carriers (frequency resources), the system achieves higher access efficiency without excessive complexity increase, as carriers can be managed through standardized selection mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Productivity

If single carrier is used for random access, then device complexity is reduced, but resource collision increases and productivity decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transfer rateVSAvoidcarrier configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple carriers are configured to serve universal purposes in the random access procedure, with each carrier capable of handling specific message transmissions. This multi-functionality approach enables higher data transfer rates through parallel transmissions while managing complexity through standardized carrier configuration protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically selects and configures carriers based on traffic conditions and access requirements. By changing carrier parameters (frequency, bandwidth, timing) adaptively, the system achieves high productivity without fixed complex configurations, resolving the contradiction between data transfer rate and carrier configuration complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If resource allocation is simplified, then ease of operation is improved, but resource collision occurs and reliability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverandom access reliabilityVSAvoidcarrier selection complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The random access procedure incorporates feedback mechanisms where the base station signals carrier allocation decisions to the user equipment. This feedback loop ensures reliable resource allocation while simplifying user-side operations, as the UE follows predetermined procedures guided by base station instructions rather than performing complex carrier selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The base station acts as an intermediary that manages carrier allocation and coordination between multiple users. This intermediary function ensures high reliability by centralizing resource management decisions while keeping user equipment operations simple, as UE devices only need to follow standardized procedures rather than independently manage carrier resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

The present specification provides a method for transmitting, by a terminal, a message for execution of a random access procedure in a wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of: receiving a system information block (SIB) from a base station; transmitting a first message, which is a random access preamble, to the base station on the basis of the SIB; receiving a second message, which is a response to the first message, from the base station; and transmitting a third message to the base station, using a carrier different from a carrier used to transmit the first message.
