Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If reference signals are generated using traditional methods, then reference signals can be transmitted, but significant computing resources and time are consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The user equipment device autonomously selects reference signal configuration from a pre-configured list based on its own capability assessment, eliminating the need for the base station to compute and signal detailed configuration parameters. The UE serves itself by making intelligent selections based on its processing capabilities, reducing the computational burden on the network.
Solution Approach 2:
The network pre-configures a list of reference signal configurations before the UE needs to transmit them. This preliminary preparation allows the UE to simply select from predefined options rather than generating configurations in real-time, significantly reducing computing resources and time required during actual transmission.
2Productivity
If reference signal configuration is optimized for specific UE capabilities, then resource efficiency improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter representation from detailed configuration parameters to simplified capability indicators. The UE reports its capability level (e.g., first capability vs. second capability), and the network maps these to appropriate pre-configured reference signal configurations, reducing complexity while maintaining optimization.
Solution Approach 2:
A single capability indicator from the UE serves multiple functions: it informs the network about processing capabilities, triggers appropriate reference signal configuration selection, and enables resource allocation decisions. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate signaling mechanisms.
3Adaptability or versatility
If traditional reference signal generation is used, then all UEs can operate, but bandwidth and processing resources are inefficiently utilized
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by tailoring reference signal configurations to individual UE capabilities rather than using a uniform approach. Each UE receives configurations matched to its specific processing capabilities, ensuring compatibility while optimizing bandwidth and processing resource utilization for each device's actual needs.
