Solution Overview

Problem

The existing NR system faces challenges with resource utilization, latency, and interference issues due to half-duplex mode in TDD spectrum, necessitating a flexible duplex mode like SubBand non-overlapping Full Duplex (SBFD) which introduces self-interference and Cross-Link Interference (CLI), requiring advanced interference cancellation techniques.

Innovation Solution

A method for uplink power control in SBFD scenarios involves configuring two sets of power control parameters, including P0 values and path loss reference signals, to adapt transmission power based on symbol type, enhancing flexibility and reducing interference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If half-duplex mode is used in TDD spectrum, then self-interference and Cross-Link Interference are avoided, but resource utilization rate decreases and latency increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterference avoidanceVSAvoidresource utilization rate
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic link direction configuration where the base station can flexibly switch between uplink and downlink directions on different time resources. This dynamic adjustment allows the system to transition from static half-duplex mode to flexible duplex mode, improving resource utilization while managing interference through adaptive power control and resource allocation strategies

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If flexible duplex mode or full-duplex mode is supported, then resource utilization improves, but self-interference and Cross-Link Interference increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilization rateVSAvoidself-interference and Cross-Link Interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different power control parameters and interference management strategies to different time resources based on their link direction. By configuring specific power control parameter sets for uplink, downlink, and flexible symbols, the system optimizes local transmission quality while minimizing interference in each specific time resource, rather than applying a uniform approach across all resources

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically adjusts transmission power parameters based on the link direction and interference conditions of different time resources. By changing power control parameters (such as P0, alpha, and path loss compensation factors) according to whether a symbol is uplink, downlink, or flexible, the system adapts to varying interference environments and optimizes resource utilization while controlling interference levels

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If advanced interference cancellation techniques are used, then interference problems are solved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterference cancellationVSAvoidinterference cancellation technique complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary interference management by configuring appropriate power control parameters before transmission occurs. By pre-configuring power control parameter sets based on expected interference conditions and link directions, the system prevents interference problems rather than requiring complex post-transmission cancellation techniques, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
