Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the uplink transmission system into multiple independent panels, where each panel can perform transmission independently. This allows the system to achieve high data rates through parallel transmissions while managing complexity by dividing the overall system into manageable modular units with standardized interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces spatial dimensionality by utilizing multiple panels and beams in different spatial directions. This dimensional expansion allows simultaneous transmissions through different spatial paths, increasing data rate without proportionally increasing processing complexity at any single point in the system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
