Solution Overview

Problem

In wireless communication systems, the existing methods for data transmission and reception by user equipment (UE) supported by multiple transmission points (TPs) face challenges in optimizing resource mapping, especially when resource regions are partially overlapped, leading to inefficiencies in retransmissions and difficulties in blind detection due to incomplete control information reception.

Innovation Solution

A method for resource mapping that involves receiving control information from multiple TPs, decoding it to obtain resource allocation information, and mapping data based on a configured order for transmission units such as code blocks or transmission blocks, optimizing resource usage and enabling blind detection in partially overlapped resource regions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If multiple TPs transmit data to UE using non-coherent joint transmission with partially overlapped resource regions, then data transmission reliability is improved, but resource allocation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission reliabilityVSAvoidresource allocation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the resource regions into first resource regions (commonly allocated by both TPs) and second resource regions (allocated by only one TP). This segmentation allows the UE to separately decode control information for each region type, simplifying the overall resource allocation complexity while maintaining reliable transmission through diversified resource usage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing blind detection to identify NCJT resource regions before actual data transmission. By pre-identifying which resource regions will be used for non-coherent joint transmission, the system prepares the UE in advance, reducing the complexity of real-time resource allocation and improving transmission reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If control information from multiple TPs is received and decoded, then resource allocation accuracy is improved, but detection difficulty increases when control information is incomplete

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation accuracyVSAvoiddetection difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by allowing the UE to successfully decode resource allocation information even when control information from only one TP is received. The UE can identify first resource regions from the received control information and perform blind detection for second resource regions, achieving sufficient resource allocation accuracy without requiring complete control information from all TPs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses preliminary blind detection to identify NCJT resource regions before data transmission. This preliminary identification reduces the detection difficulty during actual reception, as the UE already knows which resource regions to expect data in, even if control information from some TPs is missing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If data is mapped based on transmission unit configuration, then retransmission efficiency is improved, but mapping complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveretransmission efficiencyVSAvoidmapping complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by configuring different mapping orders for different transmission units (code blocks vs. transmission blocks). For code blocks, the mapping order is layer→frequency domain→time domain→second resource region, while for transmission blocks, it is layer→first resource region order→second resource region order→frequency domain→time domain. This localized adaptation to different data unit types improves retransmission efficiency without requiring a completely complex mapping system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
