Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently configuring data channels in unlicensed bands, particularly in managing channel access procedures to prevent collisions with other wireless systems and optimize signal transmission.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for configuring data channels in unlicensed bands by identifying and utilizing specific resource blocks within subbands, considering channel access procedures, and mapping data accordingly to optimize signal transmission.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If channel access procedure is performed in unlicensed band, then collision with other wireless systems is prevented, but transmission delay increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecollision preventionVSAvoidtransmission delay
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing channel access procedures (clear channel assessment, random backoff) before actual data transmission. This ensures the channel is reserved in advance, preventing collisions with other wireless systems while managing the inherent transmission delay through structured timing mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If resource blocks are allocated at boundaries of subbands, then spectral efficiency is improved, but interference with adjacent channels increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespectral efficiencyVSAvoidchannel interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by allocating resource blocks specifically at subband boundaries where spectral efficiency can be maximized. This localized resource allocation strategy improves overall spectral efficiency while the boundary-specific allocation naturally limits interference propagation to adjacent channels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Productivity

If data is mapped to all available resource blocks, then data throughput is maximized, but channel access complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata throughputVSAvoidchannel access complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the available resource blocks into multiple subbands. Data is then mapped to specific subbands rather than all resource blocks simultaneously, which maximizes throughput within each subband while reducing the overall channel access complexity through distributed management of smaller resource units.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
