Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently processing and transmitting data over large bandwidths, as existing resource mapping methods require high-bandwidth processing capabilities and increase implementation complexity or latency when using licensed or grant-free spectrum resources.

Innovation Solution

A new data sending and receiving method that divides encoded data into subdata and maps each subdata onto separate subbands for transmission, using a time-frequency resource that occupies multiple subbands, allowing for efficient processing and reduced latency by prioritizing high-priority data on specific subbands.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If existing first-frequency-domain-then-time-domain mapping method is used, then data transmission can be performed, but the communications device needs to have large-bandwidth processing capability and implementation complexity is increased

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimplementation complexityVSAvoidbandwidth processing capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the large bandwidth carrier into multiple subbands and segments the encoded data into corresponding subdata portions. Each subdata is mapped to a specific subband independently, allowing the communications device to process smaller bandwidth segments rather than requiring full large-bandwidth processing capability. This segmentation reduces both implementation complexity and device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Loss of time

If existing first-time-domain-then-frequency-domain mapping method is used, then data transmission can be performed, but the communications device needs to wait until entire transmission period ends and processing latency is increased

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing latencyVSAvoiddata transmission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs frequency-domain mapping of each subdata to its corresponding subband before the entire transmission period begins. This preliminary action allows early processing and preparation of data segments, eliminating the need to wait for the complete transmission period to end before starting demodulation. Consequently, processing latency is reduced while maintaining data transmission efficiency.

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If data is transmitted on multiple subbands, then resource utilization is improved, but resource contention and interference among different systems increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilizationVSAvoidresource contention and interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent assigns different subdata portions to different subbands with distinct local characteristics. Each subband can be independently managed and allocated to different systems or services based on local quality requirements. This localized resource allocation improves overall resource utilization while reducing contention and interference by allowing different systems to operate on different subbands with appropriate isolation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
