Solution Overview

Problem

Current 5G mobile communications systems lack a method for determining and indicating reserved resources, particularly in scenarios where URLLC and eMBB services coexist, leading to resource unavailability for UE devices.

Innovation Solution

A method where a network device determines the type of reserved resources and generates configuration information to indicate the resource type, which is then sent to the terminal device, allowing it to process the resources accordingly, using RRC signaling, DCI, or system messages.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the base station reserves resources for eMBB common control area, then eMBB service reliability is improved, but NR resource availability for URLLC service deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveeMBB service reliabilityVSAvoidNR resource availability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the reserved resources into different types (first-type and second-type) with distinct characteristics. First-type reserved resources are those where the terminal device does not need to perform receiving and processing, while second-type reserved resources require receiving and processing. This segmentation allows the system to optimize resource allocation by categorizing reserved resources based on their impact on terminal device operations, thereby resolving the contradiction between maintaining eMBB reliability and preserving NR resource availability for URLLC services.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Device complexity

If the base station indicates reserved resources without type classification, then resource management complexity is reduced, but terminal device processing efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource management complexityVSAvoidterminal device processing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by having the base station pre-classify and indicate the type of reserved resources (first-type or second-type) to the terminal device before the terminal device performs receiving and processing operations. This advance classification allows the terminal device to optimize its processing strategy based on the resource type, improving processing efficiency without significantly increasing overall system complexity, as the classification framework is established at the network side.

AI summary

Embodiments provide an information processing method and a terminal device, so that a network device can indicate a reserved resource, and the terminal device can process the reserved resource. In these embodiments, configuration information of a reserved resource sent by a network device can be received by a terminal device. The terminal device can determine, based on the configuration information of the reserved resource, that a resource type of the reserved resource is a first-type reserved resource or a second-type reserved resource. The terminal device can determine a radio frequency processing manner on the reserved resource based on the resource type.
