Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If individual resource configuration information is provided for each reference signal resource, then measurement accuracy is improved, but signaling overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the resource configuration into two parts: common parameters that apply to multiple resources (configured once) and individual parameters that are specific to each resource (configured separately). This segmentation allows the system to avoid redundant signaling of identical parameters while maintaining the ability to specify unique characteristics where needed, thereby reducing overall signaling overhead without compromising measurement accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal common parameter configuration that can be applied across multiple reference signal resources. This common configuration serves multiple resources simultaneously, eliminating the need to transmit identical configuration information for each resource individually. The universal configuration handles parameters that are typically the same across resources, while individual configurations only need to specify deviations from the common settings.
2Quantity of substance
If common parameter configuration is used for multiple reference signal resources, then signaling overhead is reduced, but configuration flexibility decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the configuration parameters into common parameters (applicable to multiple resources) and individual parameters (specific to each resource). This segmentation allows the system to use common configuration for parameters that don't need to vary, reducing signaling overhead, while still allowing individual configuration for parameters that require resource-specific customization, thereby maintaining configuration flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a dynamic configuration approach where the system can selectively apply common parameters to multiple resources while allowing individual parameters to override common settings when needed. This dynamic mechanism provides flexibility by enabling the configuration to adapt to specific resource requirements without requiring complete individual configuration for each resource.
3Productivity
If RRM measurement configuration is not properly established, then system complexity is reduced, but communication throughput degrades
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the RRM measurement configuration into common and individual components, which simplifies the overall configuration management. By handling common parameters once and only specifying individual deviations where needed, the system reduces the complexity of configuration management while ensuring that measurement settings are properly established to maintain communication throughput.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent establishes common parameter configurations in advance that apply to multiple reference signal resources. This preliminary action pre-defines the measurement framework, reducing the need for complex individual configurations later and ensuring that proper measurement settings are already in place to support optimal communication throughput from the outset.
