Solution Overview

Problem

The existing technologies lack a specific negotiation process for establishing a sensing measurement configuration in wireless communication systems, which hinders efficient setup and increases signaling overhead.

Innovation Solution

A wireless communication method and device that receive and establish measurement configuration identifiers, allowing devices to interact and set up sensing measurements without carrying operational parameters, thereby reducing signaling overhead and speeding up the configuration process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If devices carry and negotiate complete operational parameters for sensing measurement configuration, then the configuration can be established with full detail, but the signaling overhead increases and the setup process becomes slower

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconfiguration completenessVSAvoidsetup time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining multiple sensing measurement configurations with different operational parameters before the actual sensing process. Each configuration includes a configuration identifier and associated operational parameters. During negotiation, devices only need to exchange configuration identifiers rather than complete parameter sets, significantly reducing signaling overhead while maintaining configuration completeness. The first device can select from pre-defined configurations based on current needs without negotiating every parameter detail.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If devices carry and negotiate complete operational parameters for sensing measurement configuration, then the configuration can be established with full detail, but the signaling overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconfiguration completenessVSAvoidsignaling overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the essential configuration identification function from the complete operational parameters. Instead of transmitting full parameter sets during negotiation, the system uses configuration identifiers that reference pre-defined configurations. This extraction principle reduces signaling overhead by transmitting only the identifier (a small data element) rather than the complete operational parameters (large data element), while the actual configuration details are retrieved from pre-stored configuration data based on the identifier.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Loss of information

If devices use simplified configuration identifiers without operational parameters, then the signaling overhead is reduced, but the negotiation process lacks specificity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignaling overheadVSAvoidnegotiation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces configuration identifiers as an intermediary element between the negotiating devices and the actual operational parameters. The identifier acts as a reference key that both devices can understand and use to select from pre-defined configurations. This intermediary approach simplifies the negotiation process by replacing complex parameter discussions with simple identifier exchanges, while the actual operational details are implicitly agreed upon through the shared understanding of pre-defined configuration sets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
