Solution Overview

Problem

In communication systems employing dynamic time division duplex (DTDD), there is interference between uplink and downlink signals due to shared subframes, leading to unsuitable communication performance.

Innovation Solution

A terminal device configured to receive information about subframe sets and adjust transmission power for physical uplink shared channels based on specific parameters, resetting these parameters upon receipt of random access responses or changes in accumulation values to mitigate interference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

1Productivity

If subframes are shared between uplink and downlink in DTDD systems, then resource utilization is improved, but interference between uplink and downlink signals increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilizationVSAvoidinterference between uplink and downlink signals
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments subframes into two distinct sets: first subframe set for uplink transmission and second subframe set for downlink transmission. This segmentation prevents simultaneous uplink and downlink transmissions in the same subframe, thereby eliminating interference while maintaining high resource utilization through dynamic TDD operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic subframe set configuration where the base station can flexibly adjust which subframes belong to the first or second subframe set based on traffic conditions. This dynamic adjustment allows the system to adapt to varying uplink and downlink traffic demands while maintaining interference-free operation through proper power control parameter management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If transmission power is increased to improve signal quality, then data transmission quality is improved, but interference with other signals increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission qualityVSAvoidinterference with other signals
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different power control parameters specifically to subframes in the first subframe set versus the second subframe set. By configuring separate first and second parameters for different subframe sets, the system can optimize transmission power locally for each subframe type, ensuring sufficient signal quality for uplink transmissions in the first set while controlling interference in the second set.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes transmission power parameters based on the subframe set configuration. When subframe sets are configured, the terminal device uses first parameters for uplink power control in the first subframe set and second parameters in the second subframe set. This parameter change approach allows flexible power adjustment to maintain signal quality while minimizing interference.
