Solution Overview

Problem

The high reception complexity in 6G mobile communication systems due to the need for extensive correlation operations to separate and detect metadata from multiple terminals using Zadoff-Chu sequences.

Innovation Solution

The method involves segmenting metadata into data segments, determining preamble and root sequences for each segment, and transmitting these sequences to reduce reception complexity by separating the roots of the preamble sequences.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional Zadoff-Chu sequences are used to carry metadata with N bits requiring 2N different sequences, then the metadata can be transmitted, but the base station needs to perform M*CS correlation operations (where M is the number of roots and CS is the number of cyclic shifts), resulting in high reception complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemetadata detection accuracyVSAvoidreception complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the metadata into multiple data segments, where each segment is carried by a separate preamble sequence. This segmentation allows the base station to process each segment independently, reducing the overall correlation operation complexity from M*CS to a more manageable number of operations by grouping sequences with the same root.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges multiple preamble sequences that share the same root sequence into a single group. By combining sequences with identical roots, the base station can perform correlation operations more efficiently, reducing the total number of operations required while maintaining the ability to distinguish between different metadata segments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Quantity of substance

If multiple different ZC sequences are used to represent N bits of metadata, then the metadata can be fully encoded, but the number of correlation operations required increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of sequencesVSAvoiddetection efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the N-bit metadata into multiple smaller data segments, each encoded by a separate preamble sequence. This segmentation reduces the encoding complexity and allows for more efficient detection by processing smaller units of data independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter organization from using 2N different ZC sequences for N bits to using a smaller set of sequences with shared roots. This parameter change reduces the number of correlation operations while maintaining the encoding capacity through a different organizational structure of the sequences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
