Solution Overview

Problem

In existing communication technologies, nearby User Equipment (UE) experiences delays in acquiring data due to the need to receive and demodulate superposed data multiple times, which increases the time required to obtain data, especially when the distance between the UE and the base station varies.

Innovation Solution

The method involves receiving first Downlink Control Information (DCI) from a base station, storing data if the second DCI is not received, acquiring demodulation assisting information when the second DCI is received, and demodulating stored data to determine and extract the corresponding data from superposed data in the time and frequency domain, allowing for rapid acquisition of data without waiting for multiple superposed data transmissions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If nearby UE waits to receive DCI before demodulating superposed data, then demodulation accuracy is ensured, but data acquisition delay increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedemodulation accuracyVSAvoiddata acquisition delay
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The nearby UE performs preliminary demodulation of superposed data before receiving the DCI. By demodulating the data in advance and storing it, the UE can immediately acquire its own data without waiting for the DCI reception and multiple superposed data receptions, thus reducing delay while maintaining accuracy through subsequent verification

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The DCI serves as feedback information that verifies whether the preliminary demodulation was successful. The UE uses the DCI to check if the demodulated data is correct, and if not, it can request retransmission or perform correction, thus ensuring accuracy while minimizing delay

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If UE receives superposed data multiple times to ensure demodulation accuracy, then data reliability is improved, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata reliabilityVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The UE performs preliminary demodulation of superposed data before receiving the DCI and stores the demodulated data. This allows the UE to have its data ready in advance, eliminating the need to wait for multiple superposed data receptions while maintaining reliability through subsequent verification using the DCI

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The UE creates a copy of the demodulated data and stores it for later verification. By having a pre-demodulated copy ready, the UE can quickly acquire its data without needing to receive and process multiple superposed data transmissions, thus reducing time consumption while maintaining data reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
