Uplink Channel Timeline Control for Multiplexing and Prioritization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing radio communication systems face challenges in adequately controlling multiplexing and prioritization of uplink channels with different priorities due to the potential mismatch between priority and multiple timeline conditions.
Innovation Solution
A terminal with a control unit that determines whether the prioritization timeline condition is satisfied after ensuring the multiplexing timeline condition is met, employing new parameters and interpretations for timeline conditions to manage uplink channels with different priorities effectively.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the terminal performs prioritization control based on the prioritization timeline condition, then the priority handling of uplink channels is improved, but the multiplexing control becomes inadequate when the multiplexing timeline condition is not satisfied
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the control process into two distinct determination steps: first determining whether the multiplexing timeline condition is satisfied, and then determining whether the prioritization timeline condition is satisfied. This segmentation allows independent evaluation of each condition and enables appropriate control selection based on the specific scenario.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary determination of the multiplexing timeline condition before determining the prioritization timeline condition. This preliminary action ensures that the foundation for multiplexing control is established first, preventing inadequate control scenarios where prioritization is applied without proper multiplexing validation.
2Measurement precision
If the terminal checks both multiplexing timeline condition and prioritization timeline condition, then the control accuracy is improved, but the processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic control flow where the execution of prioritization timeline condition determination depends on the result of the multiplexing timeline condition determination. When the multiplexing timeline condition is not satisfied, the prioritization timeline condition check is skipped, making the processing adaptive to the current state rather than always executing both checks.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the prioritization timeline condition determination as a separate, optional step that is only executed when necessary (i.e., when multiplexing timeline condition is satisfied). This extraction reduces unnecessary processing in cases where multiplexing control alone is sufficient.
3Productivity
If the terminal applies multiplexing control when multiplexing timeline condition is satisfied, then the channel multiplexing efficiency is improved, but the prioritization control may be insufficient when prioritization timeline condition is not met
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the control logic into distinct branches: one path for when multiplexing timeline condition is satisfied (enabling multiplexing control), and another path for when it is not satisfied (skipping prioritization check). This segmentation ensures that prioritization control is only applied when the multiplexing foundation is solid, preventing insufficient prioritization control.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary validation of the multiplexing timeline condition before proceeding to prioritization control. This preliminary action ensures that the necessary conditions for reliable prioritization control are met before attempting to apply prioritization, thereby maintaining both multiplexing efficiency and prioritization adequacy.

AI summary
A terminal comprising: a communication unit that performs a transmission of an uplink signal using two or more uplink channels with different priorities; and a control unit that performs a multiplexing control on a multiplexing of two or more uplink channels when a multiplexing timeline condition on the multiplexing of two or more uplink channels is satisfied, and performs a prioritization control on a prioritization of two or more uplink channels when a prioritization timeline condition on the prioritization of two or more uplink channels is satisfied; wherein the control unit determines whether or not the prioritization timeline condition is satisfied, after determining whether or not the multiplexing timeline condition is satisfied.
