Solution Overview

Problem

In wireless communication systems, particularly in 5G networks, there is a challenge in coexisting and efficiently transmitting different types of services such as eMBB, URLLC, and mMTC simultaneously, as they require different resource allocation and have varying latency and reliability requirements, leading to potential interference and reduced performance when sharing frequency bands.

Innovation Solution

A method where a terminal receives downlink control information for scheduling retransmissions of code block groups, identifying whether earlier received code blocks are corrupted, and combining retransmitted code blocks with earlier received ones based on an indicator, allowing for adaptive redundancy version configuration to enhance data reception and minimize interference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If different services (eMBB, URLLC, mMTC) share frequency bands simultaneously, then resource utilization efficiency is improved, but interference between services increases and performance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilization efficiencyVSAvoidinterference between services
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the frequency band into different types (first type frequency band for eMBB, second type frequency band for URLLC, third type frequency band for mMTC) based on service requirements. This segmentation allows each service to operate in its designated frequency range, reducing mutual interference while maintaining high resource utilization efficiency through coordinated transmission across all bands.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If retransmission resources are allocated for corrupted code blocks, then data reception reliability is improved, but transmission latency increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata reception reliabilityVSAvoidtransmission latency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring redundancy versions for code block groups before transmission. When corruption is detected, the receiver can immediately utilize the pre-prepared redundancy versions without waiting for retransmission scheduling, significantly reducing latency while maintaining reliability through forward error correction capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically adjusts the transmission strategy based on channel conditions and service requirements. For URLLC services, it prioritizes low-latency retransmission with pre-configured redundancy versions, while for eMBB services, it uses standard HARQ retransmission mechanisms, optimizing the balance between reliability and latency for each service type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
