Terminal Frequency Resource Configuration for 5G Control Signal Reception
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In 5G communication systems, particularly for Reduced Capability NR Devices, there is a challenge in enhancing the use efficiency of time resources due to frequent frequency switching during signal transmission and reception, leading to non-transmission intervals and reduced resource utilization.
Innovation Solution
A method where a terminal configures a reception frequency resource for a second control signal to be different from the first frequency resource, allowing for reduced frequency switching and improved resource utilization by receiving the second control signal in a distinct frequency resource after receiving a data signal, thereby minimizing non-transmission intervals.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If the terminal receives control signals in the same frequency resource, then the frequency switching is minimized, but the time resource use efficiency is reduced due to non-transmission intervals
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies frequency dimension by configuring the terminal to receive the second control signal in a second frequency resource different from the first frequency resource. This dimensional change in frequency space allows the terminal to avoid frequency switching between control signals, thereby eliminating non-transmission intervals and improving time resource use efficiency without compromising signal reception continuity
2Productivity
If the terminal performs frequency switching between control signals, then the resource utilization is improved, but the non-transmission intervals increase reducing overall efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent ensures continuity of useful action by configuring the terminal to receive control signals in different frequency resources, which eliminates the need for frequency switching between control signals. This continuous reception capability removes non-transmission intervals while maintaining improved resource utilization through frequency diversity
