Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If resource allocation indication methods are designed to support multiple time/frequency resources in SCI, then the versatility of resource allocation is improved, but the complexity of determining resource locations and sizes increases
Solution Approach 1:
The resource allocation indication is segmented into multiple fields in SCI: a first field indicating the number of time/frequency resources (Nindicatedres), a second field indicating time-domain resource locations, and a third field indicating frequency-domain resource locations. This segmentation allows versatile indication of multiple resources while maintaining manageable complexity by dividing the indication into distinct, organized components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new dimensional structure to resource indication by adding explicit count fields (Nindicatedres) and separating time/frequency domain indications into distinct fields. This multi-dimensional approach enables comprehensive resource specification without overwhelming complexity in any single indication parameter.
2Measurement precision
If detailed resource allocation information is provided for multiple time/frequency resources, then the precision of resource indication is improved, but the amount of information that needs to be processed increases
Solution Approach 1:
Detailed resource information is segmented across multiple SCI fields: the first field provides the count (Nindicatedres), the second field provides time-domain precision, and the third field provides frequency-domain precision. This segmentation delivers high precision resource indication while organizing information efficiently to minimize processing overhead through structured field separation.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a flexible resource allocation scheme is implemented to accommodate different numbers of resources, then the adaptability is improved, but the difficulty of designing the allocation mechanism increases
Solution Approach 1:
The flexible allocation mechanism is segmented into modular fields: a count field (Nindicatedres) that adapts to different resource quantities, separate time-domain and frequency-domain indication fields. This modular segmentation provides flexible accommodation of varying resource numbers while simplifying mechanism design through organized, independent field structures that can be processed systematically.
