Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems face inefficiencies in resource changes and updates across cells due to varying channel characteristics, control resource sets, and transmission and reception points, leading to suboptimal communication performance.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a method to selectively apply resource changes or updates based on conditions such as control resource pool index, coreset pool index, uplink carrier type, and sounding reference signal index to improve wireless communications between devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If resource changes/updates are applied across all cells in a cell group, then resource management consistency is improved, but communication performance deteriorates due to varying channel characteristics and TRPs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource management consistencyVSAvoidcommunication performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by enabling selective application of resource changes/updates at the individual cell level rather than uniformly across all cells. Each cell can independently determine whether to apply resource changes based on its specific characteristics (channel characteristics, TRPs, antenna panels), allowing optimal resource configuration tailored to local conditions while maintaining overall system coordination through the cell group structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If resource changes are selectively applied based on cell characteristics, then communication performance is improved, but resource management complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication performanceVSAvoidresource management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamics by making the resource change application process adaptive rather than static. The system dynamically determines whether to apply resource changes based on real-time cell characteristics and conditions. The selective application mechanism allows the resource management system to flexibly adjust its behavior per cell, applying changes only where beneficial while skipping cells where it would be detrimental, thus managing complexity through intelligent decision-making rather than rigid uniformity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If uniform resource updates are applied across cell groups, then implementation simplicity is improved, but efficiency deteriorates due to different channel characteristics and TRPs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimplementation simplicityVSAvoidwireless communication efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the cell group into individual cell units for selective resource change application. Instead of treating the cell group as a single uniform entity, the system segments the resource management process to evaluate and apply changes at the individual cell level. This segmentation enables the system to maintain implementation simplicity through standardized procedures while improving efficiency by allowing each cell to receive appropriate resource configurations based on its specific characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
