Solution Overview

Problem

Current mobile communication systems face challenges in implementing sensing measurement technologies, particularly in indicating the validity of sensing measurement results in beyond 5G and 6G communication technologies, which are essential for sensing capabilities such as direction, range, and velocity detection of target objects.

Innovation Solution

The method involves a first device indicating information to a second device regarding the validity of a sensing measurement result, where the sensing measurement result is obtained by performing sensing measurement on a target signal received by the first device, using an information indication method and apparatus that include an indication module configured to convey this validity information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If sensing measurement is performed on target signals in future mobile communication systems, then sensing capabilities (direction, range, velocity detection) are enabled, but the validity of sensing measurement results cannot be properly indicated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesensing capabilityVSAvoidvalidity indication information
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the first device sends indication information to the second device about the validity of sensing measurement results. This feedback loop allows the receiving device to understand whether the sensed information (direction, range, velocity) is reliable, thereby resolving the information loss about validity while maintaining sensing capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces indication information as an intermediary element that carries validity status between the sensing device and the receiving device. This intermediary mechanism enables the transmission of validity metadata without directly transmitting the raw sensing data, thus preserving sensing capabilities while communicating reliability information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If indication information about sensing measurement validity is transmitted, then the reliability of sensing results is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesensing measurement result validityVSAvoidinformation indication mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the information transmission by separating the sensing measurement data from its validity indication. The indication information is transmitted as distinct metadata alongside or separately from the primary sensing results, allowing the receiving device to process reliability information independently without complicating the core sensing functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter representation by encoding validity information in a standardized format that can be efficiently processed. By defining specific indication information structures (such as validity flags or confidence level parameters), the system maintains reliability enhancement while controlling complexity through parameter standardization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
