Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If cross-carrier scheduling is used among cells with different subcarrier space configurations, then resource allocation flexibility is improved, but determining the start symbol index for shared channel reception becomes complex and error-prone

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation flexibilityVSAvoidstart symbol index determination complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting the start symbol index based on the subcarrier space configuration parameters of different cells. When cross-carrier scheduling is detected between cells with different subcarrier spacings, the terminal adjusts the start symbol index according to the scheduled cell's configuration, resolving the complexity through systematic parameter transformation rather than ad-hoc determination

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism where the start symbol index determination is mediated through the detected subcarrier space configuration. Rather than directly determining the index from multiple conflicting configurations, the system uses the scheduled cell's configuration as an intermediary reference point, simplifying the determination process while maintaining resource allocation flexibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If dynamic TDD is implemented to vary the number of OFDM symbols according to data traffic directions, then data processing efficiency is improved, but slot configuration management complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamics by enabling the slot configuration to vary dynamically according to data traffic directions. The number of OFDM symbols in uplink and downlink slots is adjusted in real-time based on traffic demands, allowing the system to optimize data processing efficiency while the base station manages the dynamic reconfiguration through standardized signaling mechanisms
