Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently processing and transmitting data over large bandwidths, particularly when using grant-free spectrum resources, due to increased implementation complexity and latency associated with traditional resource mapping methods.

Innovation Solution

A new resource mapping method that divides data into subdata and maps them onto multiple subbands, allowing for simultaneous transmission and reception, reducing the need for high-bandwidth processing capabilities and minimizing latency by using a first-frequency-then-time sequence or first-time-then-frequency sequence mapping.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If an existing first-frequency-domain-then-time-domain mapping method is used, then the data transmission can be performed, but the communications device needs to have a large-bandwidth processing capability, increasing implementation complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimplementation complexityVSAvoidbandwidth processing capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the large bandwidth carrier into multiple subbands and further segments data into subdata, mapping them to corresponding subbands. This segmentation allows the communications device to process smaller bandwidth segments independently, reducing the required processing capability and implementation complexity while maintaining overall system performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Loss of time

If an existing first-time-domain-then-frequency-domain mapping method is used, then the data transmission can be performed, but the communications device needs to wait until an entire transmission period ends, increasing processing latency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing latencyVSAvoiddata transmission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables preliminary demodulation of physical channels by dividing data and mapping to subbands, allowing the communications device to start processing before the entire transmission period ends. This preliminary action reduces waiting time and processing latency while maintaining data transmission efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

By segmenting data into subdata and mapping to different subbands, the patent enables parallel processing and early demodulation of completed subbands, eliminating the need to wait for the entire transmission period and thereby reducing processing latency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Quantity of substance

If a large bandwidth carrier is used for communication, then the data transmission capacity is increased, but the frequency resource needs to be divided into multiple subbands, requiring new resource mapping methods

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission capacityVSAvoidresource mapping complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments both the large bandwidth carrier into subbands and the data into subdata, establishing a systematic mapping relationship between them. This segmentation approach maintains high data transmission capacity while providing a structured, manageable resource allocation method that reduces complexity compared to handling large bandwidth as a single unit.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
