Solution Overview

Problem

In wireless communication systems, particularly in NR V2X subframes, the limited number of REs available for data transmission due to the use of OFDM symbols for AGC and Tx/Rx switching operations hinders efficient resource utilization.

Innovation Solution

A method where data is mapped to symbols in a slot based on subcarrier spacing and frequency range, allowing for comb type RE mapping to increase the number of REs available for data transmission by utilizing a second time duration excluding the first time duration required for AGC and Tx/Rx switching operations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If OFDM symbols are used for AGC and Tx/Rx switching operations, then reliable signal control and switching are achieved, but the number of REs available for data transmission is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal control reliabilityVSAvoidnumber of REs for data transmission
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the time duration within OFDM symbols by identifying a first time duration for AGC/Tx-Rx switching operations and a second time duration for data transmission. This segmentation allows the system to separate control operations from data transmission, enabling both functions to coexist without mutual interference, thereby resolving the contradiction between reliable signal control and sufficient data transmission resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Stability of the object's composition

If more OFDM symbols are allocated for AGC and Tx/Rx switching, then signal stability is improved, but resource utilization efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal stabilityVSAvoidresource utilization efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the temporal parameters by defining specific time duration thresholds within OFDM symbols. By establishing that the first time duration for AGC and switching operations must be less than the symbol duration, and the second time duration for data transmission must be greater than zero, the system optimizes the balance between signal stability and resource utilization efficiency through parameter optimization.
