Terminal Full Duplex Resource Configuration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In next-generation mobile communication systems, the lack of sufficient study on full duplex (FD) communication methods in the New Radio (NR) specification leads to potential deterioration in system performance due to increased delay and reduced coverage performance in ultra-dense and high-traffic environments.
Innovation Solution
A terminal is designed with a control section that determines a resource where both uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) signal resources can be configured within the same time resource in one physical resource block, and a transmitting/receiving section that performs initial access using specific UL and DL signals in this determined resource.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If full duplex (FD) communication is implemented in NR specification, then resource utilization efficiency is improved, but system performance deteriorates due to increased delay and reduced coverage performance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the full duplex communication resources into separate uplink and downlink resource configurations within the same time resource. The control section determines specific resource allocations for UL and DL signals independently, allowing selective application of FD communication while maintaining TDD compatibility, thus improving resource utilization without compromising system performance
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic resource configuration where the control section adaptively determines UL and DL signal resources based on current system conditions. The resource allocation can be flexibly adjusted between FD and TDD modes, enabling the system to optimize performance dynamically rather than being constrained to a fixed configuration
2Quantity of substance
If full duplex communication is used in ultra-dense and high-traffic environments, then capacity is increased, but delay increases and coverage performance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by configuring UL and DL resources with different properties within the same time resource. Specific resource blocks are allocated with optimized parameters for their respective directions, allowing high-capacity FD communication in areas where it benefits performance while maintaining reliable coverage in sensitive areas
3Productivity
If full duplex communication is implemented without sufficient specification study, then resource utilization efficiency is improved, but overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal resource configuration framework that supports both FD and TDD communication modes through the same control mechanism. The control section can determine resources for UL and DL signals in the same time resource while maintaining compatibility with existing NR specifications, reducing the need for additional overhead signaling
