1Productivity

If superposition transmission is used to increase system capacity, then more terminals can share the same radio resource, but signal collision between terminals occurs which impairs transmission performance

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The resource blocks are segmented into multiple resource element groups (REGs), and modulation symbols are mapped to different REGs based on terminal identification information. This segmentation allows different terminals to use different mapping patterns, reducing signal collision while maintaining system capacity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different resource mapping patterns are applied to different terminals based on their identification information. Each terminal experiences a locally optimized mapping pattern that reduces its specific collision scenarios, while the overall system maintains high capacity through superposition transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 1:

The resource mapping pattern is designed in advance to promote even collision distribution before reception. By pre-configuring the mapping based on terminal ID, the system reduces the complexity burden on the receiver's MUD and IC algorithms, as the collision pattern is more predictable and manageable.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The mapping pattern parameters are changed based on terminal identification information, creating different mapping configurations for different terminals. This parameter variation reduces the complexity of interference cancellation by making the collision structure more regular and easier to process.
