Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication technologies face challenges in efficiently exchanging antenna panel information between network side devices and terminals, particularly in reducing power consumption and avoiding excessive human body radiation.
Innovation Solution
A method is introduced where configuration information of a first SRS resource set is sent between network side devices and terminals, with the identifier of the SRS resource set used to indicate the identifier of an antenna panel, allowing for the exchange of antenna panel information without the need for actual SRS resource set transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If antenna panel information is exchanged between network side device and terminal, then antenna panel control capability is improved, but power consumption increases and radiation may become excessive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the essential function of antenna panel identification by using the SRS resource set identifier to indicate the antenna panel identifier. This extraction allows the network to identify and control antenna panels without requiring actual SRS signal transmission, thereby reducing power consumption while maintaining panel control capability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a conceptual copy of the antenna panel identification function through the SRS resource set identifier. Instead of transmitting actual SRS signals for panel identification, the system uses the identifier configuration to convey panel information, achieving the same identification function with significantly lower energy consumption
2Adaptability or versatility
If antenna panel information exchange is implemented, then antenna panel control capability is improved, but harmful radiation to human body increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the identification function from the SRS signal transmission process. By using the SRS resource set identifier to indicate antenna panel information, the system eliminates the need for actual SRS signal transmission that would cause radiation, while preserving the ability to identify and control antenna panels
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses the SRS resource set identifier as a conceptual copy that carries antenna panel information without requiring physical signal transmission. This copy-based approach maintains panel identification capability while avoiding harmful radiation effects
3Loss of information
If SRS resource set transmission is used for antenna panel indication, then information exchange capability is improved, but protocol complexity and overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the information conveyance function from the SRS signal transmission process. By using the SRS resource set identifier configuration, the system conveys antenna panel information without requiring actual signal transmission, thereby reducing protocol complexity and overhead while maintaining information exchange capability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses the SRS resource set identifier as a lightweight copy that carries antenna panel information. This approach replaces complex SRS signal transmission with a simpler identifier-based information exchange mechanism, reducing protocol complexity while preserving information conveyance
