Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic duplex mode selection where the base station can flexibly switch between half-duplex and full-duplex modes based on traffic conditions and interference levels. The system dynamically configures time-frequency resources and reference signal patterns to adapt to changing channel conditions, allowing optimization of both interference management and resource utilization in real-time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes key system parameters including duplex mode configuration, reference signal resource allocation, and time-frequency resource partitioning to resolve the contradiction. By adjusting these parameters based on channel quality indicators and traffic demand, the system achieves optimal balance between interference mitigation and resource efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If full-duplex mode is supported on TDD spectrum, then resource utilization improves and latency decreases, but self-interference and cross-link interference increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilization rateVSAvoidself-interference and cross-link interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces reference signals as intermediary elements that enable the system to measure and characterize interference conditions. These reference signals serve as mediators between the transmitting and receiving functions, allowing the base station to assess channel quality and interference levels, thereby making informed decisions about when and how to activate full-duplex operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the base station monitors channel quality indicators, interference levels, and radio link quality through reference signal measurements. This feedback information is used to dynamically adjust duplex mode configuration and resource allocation, ensuring that full-duplex operations are maintained only when interference levels are acceptable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If different duplex modes are supported with separate designs, then specific mode performance is optimized, but hardware complexity and costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemode-specific performanceVSAvoidhardware complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent designs a universal reference signal framework and resource configuration mechanism that serves all duplex modes (half-duplex, full-duplex, and flexible duplex). The same hardware infrastructure and signal processing chains are used across different modes, with only software-configurable parameters changing. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for separate hardware designs for each duplex mode, reducing complexity and cost while maintaining mode-specific optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
