Solution Overview

Problem

The existing time domain resource assignment methods for physical uplink shared channels (PUSCH) fail to support the transmission of transport blocks over multiple slots (TBoMS) on special time slots, leading to resource wastage and inefficient coding.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for determining target time domain resources on special time slots using a modified TDRA table, allowing accurate allocation and transmission of TBoMS, thereby improving coding efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the existing TDRA table similar to PUSCH repetition type A is used for time domain resource assignment, then the time domain resource assignment can be performed according to the existing standard, but the transmission of TBoMS on special time slots cannot be performed, resulting in waste of time-domain resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetime domain resource utilizationVSAvoidsupport for TBoMS transmission on special time slots
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the TDRA table configurable and adaptable. Instead of using a fixed TDRA table similar to PUSCH repetition type A, the system dynamically configures the TDRA table to support both traditional PUSCH transmissions and TBoMS transmissions on special time slots. This allows the resource assignment mechanism to adapt to different transmission modes and time slot types, eliminating resource waste while maintaining backward compatibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If the TDRA table is configured to support TBoMS transmission on special time slots, then the coding efficiency is improved, but the complexity of resource assignment increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoding efficiencyVSAvoidresource assignment complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the TDRA table configuration to include parameters specific to TBoMS transmission on special time slots. The TDRA table is enhanced with fields that indicate whether a time slot is a special time slot and provide appropriate resource assignment parameters for TBoMS. This allows the system to maintain a unified TDRA table structure while supporting multiple transmission modes through parameter differentiation, avoiding the need for separate complex assignment mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of operation

If a unified TDRA table is used for both traditional PUSCH and TBoMS transmissions, then the ease of operation is improved, but the precision of resource assignment for special time slots may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource assignment operationVSAvoidresource assignment precision for special time slots
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the TDRA table into different sections or rows that correspond to different transmission modes. The TDRA table includes specific entries for traditional PUSCH transmissions and separate entries for TBoMS transmissions on special time slots. Each segment contains mode-specific parameters, allowing the system to maintain a unified table structure for ease of operation while ensuring precise resource assignment for each transmission type through dedicated parameter sets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A time domain resource assignment method is performed by a terminal device, and includes: obtaining a time domain resource assignment (TDRA) table in response to a current time slot being a special time slot, wherein the current time slot is configured for transmitting a transport block (TBoMS) over a plurality of time slots; and determining a target time domain resource for transmitting the TBoMS on the special time slot according to the TDRA table.
