Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems face inefficiencies in wireless signal transmission and reception procedures, particularly in determining optimal transmission power and resource allocation for uplink signals.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for wireless communication systems that involve receiving downlink control information for uplink signal transmission, determining transmission power based on frequency resource allocation, and transmitting the uplink signal across multiple frequency resource regions, including a first region and at least one extended region, with power determined by the total number of resources in both regions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If transmission power is determined based only on the first frequency resource region allocated through DCI, then the device complexity is reduced, but the transmission power optimization is insufficient when extended frequency resources are used

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission power determination complexityVSAvoidtransmission power optimization efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The base station pre-configures extension frequency resource region information through higher layer signaling before actual transmission. This allows the terminal to proactively determine transmission power based on both the first and second frequency resource regions, achieving optimized power allocation without increasing real-time processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Device complexity

If the uplink signal is transmitted only in the first frequency resource region, then the resource allocation is simple, but the frequency resource utilization is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefrequency resource allocation complexityVSAvoidfrequency resource utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extends the frequency resource allocation from a single contiguous region (first frequency resource region) to include an additional extended region (second frequency resource region). This dimensional expansion in frequency resource usage allows the terminal to transmit uplink signals across a broader spectrum, improving overall frequency resource utilization while maintaining manageable allocation complexity through pre-configured extension information.
