Terminal Resource Allocation for System Information Reception
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication technologies face inefficiencies in resource utilization, leading to low receiving efficiency and increased power consumption for terminals, as they require using the widest scope of resources to receive system information, which is not tailored to individual receiving capabilities.
Innovation Solution
The method involves using preset resource sets to acquire and send initial information, allowing terminals to determine and utilize specific resources for receiving and transmitting information, improving resource utilization and reducing power consumption by excluding unnecessary resources.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the base station uses the widest scope of resources to send system information to ensure all terminals can receive it, then the reliability of information transmission is improved, but the resource utilization rate deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the resource sets into multiple categories (first resource set, second resource set, third resource set) based on different coverage enhancement requirements. Terminals are divided into groups according to their receiving capabilities, and each group is assigned specific resource sets tailored to their needs. This segmentation allows the system to allocate resources efficiently without wasting them on terminals that don't require the full resource scope, thereby resolving the contradiction between ensuring reliable transmission for all terminals and optimizing resource utilization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by providing different resource allocation strategies to different terminal groups based on their specific coverage enhancement requirements. Instead of uniformly allocating the widest resource scope to all terminals, the system assigns appropriate resource sets to each terminal group according to their individual capabilities and needs. This localized approach ensures that each terminal receives the minimum necessary resources for reliable communication while improving overall system resource utilization efficiency.
2Reliability
If terminals receive system information using the widest scope of resources to ensure correct reception, then the reliability of receiving is improved, but the power consumption of terminals deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments terminals into different groups based on their coverage enhancement requirements and assigns specific resource sets to each group. Terminals only need to monitor and process resources allocated to their group rather than the entire widest resource scope. This segmentation significantly reduces the processing burden and power consumption for terminals with lower coverage enhancement needs while still ensuring reliable reception for those who require it, thus resolving the contradiction between receiving reliability and power consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements local quality by tailoring resource allocation to the specific needs of different terminal groups. Each terminal group receives customized resource sets that match their coverage enhancement requirements, allowing terminals to operate with appropriate power consumption levels. Terminals with basic requirements use fewer resources and consume less power, while terminals requiring enhanced coverage allocate more resources and consume more power accordingly. This localized approach eliminates unnecessary power consumption for all terminals while maintaining reliable reception for those who need it.

AI summary
Embodiments disclose an information acquiring method. The method includes sending indicating information, where the indicating information indicates a resource set used for sending initial information, and the initial information comprises a master information block (MIB); and determining, according to the resource set used for sending initial information, a resource used for sending non-initial information, wherein the non-initial information comprises information carried over a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), and the resource used for sending the non-initial information does not overlap with the resource set used for sending initial information.
