Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Dynamic changes in spatial elements, such as antenna ports and active transceiver chains, in wireless communication networks lead to inefficiencies in managing available slots and symbols, resulting in increased energy consumption and signaling overhead.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a method that determines slot or symbol availability based on a spatial pattern and user equipment (UE) conditions, using preconfigured rules to adapt transmission and reception methods, thereby reducing energy consumption and signaling overhead.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If dynamic changes in spatial elements are implemented to adapt to UE conditions, then communication effectiveness is improved, but slot and symbol management efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic slot and symbol reclassification based on spatial element patterns. The network device determines availability of time-domain resources by evaluating spatial patterns (such as antenna port configurations) and dynamically adjusts slot/symbol availability status. This allows the system to adapt communication effectiveness to varying UE conditions while maintaining efficient resource management through automated, pattern-based decision-making rather than static configurations.
2Loss of energy
If dynamic slot or symbol reclassification is performed based on spatial patterns, then energy consumption is reduced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs preconfigured rules and criteria for determining slot and symbol availability based on spatial element patterns. The network device stores multiple predefined spatial patterns and associated availability determination rules in advance. When a spatial element configuration changes, the system matches the current pattern against preconfigured options and applies the corresponding availability classification without requiring complex real-time calculations. This preliminary preparation reduces computational complexity while enabling energy-efficient dynamic adaptation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the availability parameter of slots and symbols based on detected spatial element patterns. By monitoring spatial configuration parameters (such as active antenna ports or transceiver chains) and adjusting time-domain resource availability accordingly, the system achieves energy savings through parameter adaptation without requiring fundamental architectural changes. The network device transitions slots between available and unavailable states based on spatial pattern matching, providing simple yet effective energy optimization.
3Loss of information
If slot availability is determined based on spatial element patterns, then signaling overhead is reduced, but resource utilization flexibility decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal spatial pattern matching mechanism that serves multiple functions simultaneously. The same spatial element pattern recognition system is used for both determining slot availability and classifying symbol availability, as well as for identifying which transmission methods or reception methods to apply. This multi-functional approach reduces signaling overhead by avoiding redundant indications for different resource types while maintaining flexible resource utilization through the通用 pattern-based decision framework. The network device can apply different transmission/reception methods to different slots and symbols based on a unified spatial pattern assessment.
