Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems face inefficiencies in signal transmission and reception procedures, particularly in managing uplink resources for user equipment (UE) in diverse communication scenarios.

Innovation Solution

A method involving a user equipment (UE) transmitting a resource request for uplink transmission, receiving uplink resource allocation, and transmitting uplink data using allocated N uplink resources within a selected resource set, with the resource request including M candidate resource sets, and the allocation being indicated by downlink control information (DCI).

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If multiple candidate resource sets are configured for uplink transmission, then the reliability of resource allocation is improved, but the device complexity and signaling overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation reliabilityVSAvoidresource management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The resource sets are segmented into multiple candidate sets (first resource set, second resource set, etc.), each containing multiple uplink resources. This segmentation allows the system to provide multiple alternatives for resource allocation, improving reliability by enabling fallback options while keeping each individual resource set manageable in size and structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The network configures multiple candidate resource sets in advance before actual uplink transmission is needed. This preliminary configuration includes defining multiple resource sets with different resource configurations, which are then activated based on channel conditions or transmission requirements, reducing the complexity of real-time resource management decisions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple candidate resource sets are configured for uplink transmission, then the adaptability to different transmission scenarios is improved, but the signaling overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation adaptabilityVSAvoidsignaling overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically selects which resource set to activate based on current transmission requirements and channel conditions. The network can indicate to the user equipment which candidate resource set should be used for a given transmission, allowing adaptability to different scenarios while managing signaling overhead by only transmitting necessary activation indicators rather than all resource configurations continuously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
