Solution Overview

Problem

In wireless communication systems, resource fragmentation occurs when a specific UE partially occupies resources in a scheduling mode, disrupting the transmission of large packets.

Innovation Solution

A method where a UE selects a transmission resource by allocating a first transmission resource region for narrowband signals and a second transmission resource region for wideband signals, with the second region being greater than the first and mapped to different subchannel indices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If UEs autonomously select resources for direct communication, then resource allocation flexibility is improved, but resource fragmentation occurs disrupting large packet transmission

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation flexibilityVSAvoidlarge packet transmission reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The frequency region is segmented into two distinct transmission resource regions: a first region for narrowband signals and a second region for wideband signals. This segmentation prevents narrowband UEs from fragmenting resources needed by wideband UEs, thereby resolving the contradiction between allocation flexibility and transmission reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different quality characteristics are assigned to different frequency regions: the first region is optimized for narrowband transmissions while the second region is optimized for wideband transmissions. This local quality differentiation ensures that wideband transmissions can secure sufficient contiguous resources without being disrupted by narrowband resource selections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If transmission resource regions are allocated to edges of frequency region, then resource fragmentation is prevented, but resource selection complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation stabilityVSAvoidresource selection complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The frequency region is divided into two segments with clear boundary definitions: edge regions for narrowband and central regions for wideband. This segmentation provides a systematic resource selection methodology that reduces complexity compared to unstructured autonomous selection, while maintaining allocation stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If second transmission resource region is greater than first transmission resource region, then wideband transmission efficiency is improved, but narrowband resource availability decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewideband transmission efficiencyVSAvoidnarrowband resource quantity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The frequency spectrum is segmented into two dedicated regions with appropriate size allocations: a larger second region for wideband transmissions and a smaller first region for narrowband transmissions. This segmentation ensures that wideband transmissions have sufficient resources for high efficiency while narrowband transmissions have dedicated resources for reliable operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different resource quantities are allocated to different regions based on their specific transmission requirements: the second region has larger size optimized for wideband efficiency, while the first region has appropriate size for narrowband operations. This local quality optimization resolves the contradiction between wideband productivity and narrowband resource availability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
