Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If transmission parameters for multiple signals are updated separately, then each signal can be configured independently, but signaling overhead and latency increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveIndependent configuration of each signalVSAvoidSignaling overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the update of transmission parameters for multiple signals into a single update instruction. The base station transmits one update instruction that simultaneously updates transmission parameters for multiple signals (e.g., downlink reference signals, uplink signals, and channel state information reference signals) rather than transmitting separate update instructions for each signal, thereby reducing signaling overhead while maintaining independent configurability through the unified instruction structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Adaptability or versatility

If transmission parameters for multiple signals are updated separately, then each signal can be configured independently, but processing delay increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveIndependent configuration of each signalVSAvoidLatency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple parameter update operations into a single simultaneous update process. The base station transmits a unified update instruction that is processed concurrently for multiple signals, eliminating the sequential processing delays that would occur if each signal were updated separately. This simultaneous update mechanism reduces latency while preserving the ability to independently configure each signal's transmission parameters

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Loss of energy

If a single update instruction is used for multiple signals, then signaling overhead is reduced, but the complexity of managing transmission parameters increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveSignaling overheadVSAvoidTransmission parameter management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal update instruction structure that can simultaneously manage transmission parameters for multiple different signal types. This single instruction format serves multiple functions by incorporating parameters for downlink reference signals, uplink signals, and channel state information reference signals, thereby reducing signaling overhead while the standardized universal structure actually simplifies the management complexity compared to multiple separate configuration mechanisms

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

AI summary

A method and an apparatus for transmitting/receiving a signal in a wireless communication system are disclosed. A method for receiving a downlink signal according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, may comprise steps of: receiving, from a base station, configuration information related to transmission parameters for a plurality of signals; receiving, from the base station, an update message for updating a transmission parameter for a specific downlink signal; and receiving the downlink signal based on the updated transmission parameter. Transmission parameters for one or more signals including the specific downlink signal among the plurality of signals may be all identically updated by the update message.
