Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently allocating resources across multiple multiplexing schemes, particularly in supporting the high data rates and low latency required for 6G communication systems, which necessitate advanced resource management techniques to optimize signal coverage and network performance.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for configuring resources in a wireless communication system that involves transmitting configuration information about contiguous slots and physical resource blocks (PRBs) in the frequency domain, allowing user equipment (UE) to allocate and utilize resources efficiently for both downlink and uplink signals, enabling flexible resource allocation in time and frequency domains.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional resource allocation methods are used in wireless communication systems, then device complexity is reduced, but resource allocation efficiency deteriorates and cannot meet 6G high data rate requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation efficiencyVSAvoidresource configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The resource allocation is segmented into multiple independent configurations, each handling specific resource types (e.g., downlink resources, uplink resources, full-duplex resources). This segmentation allows the system to manage complex resource allocation through modular, independent configuration sets rather than a single monolithic allocation mechanism, thereby improving allocation efficiency while keeping individual configuration modules manageable in complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The resource allocation mechanism is designed with multi-functionality to support multiple multiplexing schemes (TDD, FDD, full-duplex) simultaneously. The same resource configuration framework can adapt to different duplexing modes and service types, making the system universally applicable across diverse 6G scenarios. This universality improves overall resource utilization efficiency without requiring separate allocation mechanisms for each mode, thus avoiding proportional increases in complexity.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If flexible resource allocation is implemented to support multiple multiplexing schemes, then adaptability improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemultiplexing scheme supportVSAvoidresource management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The resource allocation system employs dynamic configuration mechanisms where resource parameters can be adjusted in real-time based on current network conditions, service requirements, and duplexing mode. This dynamic adaptability allows the system to flexibly support multiple multiplexing schemes without requiring separate static configurations for each scenario. The dynamic nature enables the system to switch between TDD, FDD, and full-duplex modes seamlessly, improving versatility while the centralized control logic manages complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system achieves adaptability to multiple multiplexing schemes by changing key allocation parameters (such as resource block assignments, time slot configurations, and frequency allocations) rather than changing the fundamental allocation structure. This parameter-based adaptability allows the same resource management framework to support different duplexing modes through parameter adjustment, thereby improving versatility without proportionally increasing system complexity.

3Speed

If contiguous slots with multiple PRBs are allocated, then data rate increases, but resource allocation flexibility decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission rateVSAvoidresource allocation flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The contiguous resource allocation is segmented into multiple configurable units (resource blocks and slots) that can be independently controlled. This segmentation enables the system to allocate resources in flexible granularities - sometimes as large contiguous blocks for high data rate requirements, and sometimes as smaller distributed units for flexibility-critical scenarios. The segmented structure resolves the contradiction by making the allocation size itself adaptable rather than fixed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The resource allocation transitions from static to dynamic, where the degree of contiguity and the number of allocated PRBs can be adjusted based on real-time service requirements. For latency-sensitive services, more contiguous resources are allocated to maximize data rate; for services requiring flexibility, the allocation can be more distributed. This dynamic adjustment capability resolves the contradiction between achieving high data rates through contiguity and maintaining allocation flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
