Solution Overview

Problem

In New Radio (NR) systems, terminal devices face challenges in acquiring appropriate transmission parameters for uplink data transmission across multiple panels with different channel conditions, requiring distinct SRS resource sets and power control for efficient data transmission.

Innovation Solution

A method for uplink data transmission that involves receiving Downlink Control Information (DCI) to schedule data transmission, determining reference signal resource sets, and configuring power control parameters for each panel to optimize transmission parameters such as precoding matrices, power control, and beam settings, allowing for flexible and efficient data transmission across multiple panels.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If multiple panels are used for uplink data transmission, then data transmission efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases due to the need for separate transmission parameters for each panel

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission efficiencyVSAvoidtransmission parameter configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the uplink transmission system into multiple independent panel units, each with its own SRS resource set and transmission parameters. This allows each panel to be configured and controlled independently, enabling parallel data transmission across multiple panels while maintaining manageable complexity through modular panel design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic configuration of SRS resource sets and transmission parameters for each panel based on real-time channel conditions. The network can dynamically allocate different SRS resource sets to different panels and adjust transmission parameters adaptively, allowing the system to optimize performance while managing complexity through dynamic resource allocation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If different transmission parameters are configured for different panels, then transmission quality is improved, but the complexity of acquiring and managing SRS resource sets increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission qualityVSAvoidSRS resource set acquisition
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary configuration of multiple SRS resource sets before actual data transmission. The network pre-configures different SRS resource sets corresponding to different panels and transmission scenarios, so that during data transmission, the terminal simply needs to select from pre-configured resources rather than acquiring parameters in real-time, reducing acquisition complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces SRS (Sounding Reference Signal) as an intermediary mechanism to acquire channel information for each panel. By using SRS resources as intermediaries, the system can indirectly obtain the necessary transmission parameters through channel sounding, simplifying the direct acquisition of transmission parameters while maintaining transmission quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If independent power control is implemented for each panel, then spectrum efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespectrum efficiencyVSAvoidpower control configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the power control function into independent panel-level controls, with each panel having its own power control parameters. This allows independent power adjustment for each panel based on its specific channel conditions and transmission requirements, improving spectrum efficiency while managing complexity through distributed power control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic parameter changes for power control by adjusting power control parameters independently for each panel based on real-time channel conditions. The system can change power levels adaptively for different panels, allowing optimization of spectrum efficiency through parameter adjustment while maintaining manageable complexity through automated parameter management

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
