Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently configuring sounding reference signal resource sets, particularly in multi-antenna panel scenarios, leading to inefficiencies in resource allocation and transmission.

Innovation Solution

The method involves configuring sounding reference signal resource sets by transmitting resources one at a time, using resource group identifiers and antenna panel identifiers, through radio resource control messages, to optimize resource allocation and transmission.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If sounding reference signal resources are configured for multiple resource groups and antenna panels, then the system supports multi-antenna panel transmissions and improves spatial diversity, but the device complexity and configuration overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-antenna panel transmission supportVSAvoidconfiguration overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the sounding reference signal resources into multiple resource groups, where each resource group is associated with specific antenna panels. This segmentation allows the system to manage complex multi-antenna configurations by dividing resources into manageable groups, reducing the overall configuration overhead while maintaining support for multiple antenna panels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a new dimension of organization by associating resource groups with antenna panel identifiers. This dimensional approach allows resources to be systematically mapped to specific antenna panels, enabling efficient management of multi-antenna configurations without proportionally increasing configuration complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Productivity

If sounding reference signal resources are transmitted one at a time from different resource groups and antenna panels, then resource allocation efficiency improves, but the transmission time and resource utilization complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation efficiencyVSAvoidtransmission time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring multiple resource groups and associating them with specific antenna panels before transmission. This pre-configuration allows the system to efficiently allocate resources on-demand without requiring complex real-time decisions, thereby improving resource allocation efficiency while minimizing transmission delays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables dynamic resource allocation by allowing the system to select and activate specific resource groups and antenna panels based on current transmission requirements. This dynamic approach optimizes resource utilization by transmitting only the necessary sounding reference signals from appropriate antenna panels, reducing overall transmission time while maintaining allocation efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
