Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently managing rate splitting and interference cancellation in multi-user environments, particularly in next-generation radio access technologies like NR, which require improved reliability and low latency for diverse communication scenarios.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a Rate Splitting Multiple Access (RSMA) scheme, where common and private messages are configured and transmitted based on feedback information, allowing terminals to decode and subtract common messages to recover private messages, enabling efficient resource allocation and interference management.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If common message and private message are transmitted simultaneously in multi-user environments, then communication capacity is improved, but interference management complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication capacityVSAvoidinterference management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The transmitted message is segmented into two distinct parts: a common message component that contains information shared among multiple users, and a private message component that contains user-specific information. This segmentation allows the receiver to separately decode and process each component, simplifying interference management while maintaining high communication capacity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The common message component is extracted and identified separately from the private message component in the received signal. By extracting the common message first and decoding it independently, the system reduces the complexity of managing interference between multiple users' private messages

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Reliability

If rate splitting is performed to separate common and private messages, then interference cancellation is improved, but decoding complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterference cancellationVSAvoiddecoding complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The common message component is decoded in advance before decoding the private message component. This preliminary decoding action enables the receiver to cancel out the interference from the common message, thereby improving the reliability of private message decoding while managing complexity through a structured two-stage process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple terminals are supported in various channel environments, then system versatility is improved, but resource allocation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem versatilityVSAvoidresource allocation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies different decoding and processing strategies to different terminals based on their specific channel environments. Each terminal's common and private messages are processed with locally optimized parameters, allowing the system to support diverse channel conditions without requiring a single complex resource allocation scheme for all users

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
