Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If full-duplex communication mode is implemented to improve spectrum efficiency, then spectrum efficiency is improved, but terminal capability compatibility and network configuration complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal reports its full-duplex communication capability to the base station in advance through capability indication information. This preliminary action allows the base station to know the terminal's capabilities before configuring communication modes, enabling proactive optimization of spectrum efficiency without increasing real-time configuration complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal provides feedback to the base station about its full-duplex communication capabilities through uplink signaling. This feedback mechanism enables the base station to make informed decisions about mode configuration, balancing spectrum efficiency improvements with manageable network complexity by having accurate terminal capability information.
2Productivity
If terminals report full-duplex capability to enable optimal mode configuration, then communication performance is improved, but signaling overhead and processing complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The full-duplex capability indication information is merged with existing terminal capability reporting mechanisms in the communication protocol. By combining the new capability indication with established signaling procedures, the patent minimizes additional signaling overhead while still enabling improved communication performance through full-duplex mode configuration.
3Loss of energy
If base station determines terminal support for full-duplex mode to optimize network operation, then spectrum efficiency is improved, but determination and configuration complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The base station receives terminal capability information in advance, which preliminarily identifies terminals that support full-duplex mode. This preliminary identification simplifies subsequent determination processes and configuration tasks, allowing the base station to focus optimization efforts only on capable terminals rather than all terminals in the network.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal autonomously determines and reports its own full-duplex capability to the base station. This self-service approach reduces the determination complexity for the base station, as terminals independently provide accurate capability information without requiring complex base station-side detection or testing procedures.
