Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in effectively multiplexing control information and data of varying priorities, particularly in ensuring reliable transmission of high-priority information when combined in a single channel.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for wireless communication that determines resource mapping strategies based on the priority of control information and data, prioritizing high-priority information by mapping it proximal to Demodulation Reference Signals (DMRS) and using separate time-domain resources as needed, ensuring reliable transmission.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If control information and data of various priorities are multiplexed into a same channel, then system efficiency is improved, but transmission reliability of high-priority information deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem efficiencyVSAvoidtransmission reliability of high-priority information
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by assigning different mapping priorities to different types of information within the same channel. High-priority control information is mapped to specific time-domain resources with higher priority than low-priority data, creating localized quality differences in resource allocation that ensure critical information receives adequate protection while maintaining overall system efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the time-frequency resources into different priority levels. By dividing the available resources and assigning high-priority control information to specific segmented resources (with higher mapping priority) while low-priority data uses remaining resources, the system maintains both multiplexing efficiency and reliable transmission of critical information

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Device complexity

If modulation symbols are mapped without considering priority, then resource allocation is simple, but demodulation performance of high-priority information deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation complexityVSAvoiddemodulation performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the mapping parameter by introducing priority-based mapping priority values. Instead of uniform mapping, the system adjusts the mapping behavior based on the priority parameter of each information type, where high-priority control information receives higher mapping priority to be mapped closer to reference signals, thereby improving demodulation performance without excessive complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
