Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication systems face challenges in efficiently managing uplink resources, leading to unnecessary power consumption and potential delays in uplink service interactions.

Innovation Solution

A communication method where a terminal device determines a first uplink resource for transmitting information and can choose to either transmit or skip transmitting the information on that resource, allowing for dynamic resource management.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the terminal device transmits uplink information on all configured uplink resources, then the uplink transmission reliability is improved, but the power consumption increases and transmission delays occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuplink transmission reliabilityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic uplink resource management where the terminal device adaptively selects whether to transmit information based on real-time conditions. The network device dynamically configures uplink resources and the terminal device dynamically decides transmission based on whether it has information to send, transforming static resource allocation into a dynamic, condition-based process that optimizes both reliability and power consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the transmission parameter from fixed (always transmit) to variable (transmit only when needed). By introducing a conditional transmission mechanism where the terminal device checks information availability before transmitting, the system adjusts the transmission behavior parameter based on actual communication needs, reducing unnecessary power consumption while maintaining reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If the network device detects information on all uplink resources, then the detection completeness is improved, but the system complexity and processing overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection completenessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts unnecessary detection operations from the system. Instead of detecting on all configured uplink resources, the network device only detects on resources where the terminal device actually transmitted information. This extraction of redundant detection operations simplifies the system while maintaining complete detection of all actual transmissions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the terminal device informs the network device about its transmission decisions. This feedback allows the network device to adjust its detection strategy, only performing detection on resources where transmission is expected, thereby reducing system complexity while maintaining detection completeness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Speed

If the terminal device transmits information frequently, then the uplink service responsiveness is improved, but the transmission delays and power consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuplink service responsivenessVSAvoidtransmission delay
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the skipping principle by allowing the terminal device to skip transmission on resources where no information is available. This selective skipping avoids unnecessary transmission delays and power consumption while maintaining responsiveness by immediately transmitting when information becomes available. The terminal device rushes through the transmission process only when necessary, optimizing both speed and time efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #21Skipping (Rushing through)
