Abstract: In this study, we present a unified symmetry-conservation solution analysis of a well-posed resonant nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS)-type equation incorporating spatio-temporal dispersion and inter-modal dispersion. Working within the truncated M-fractional derivative framework, we first construct exact traveling-wave solution families via the Kudryashov expansion method, together with the corresponding parameter constraints and limiting cases. We then determine the admitted Lie point symmetries and establish the associated Lie algebra, including the commutator structure, adjoint representation, and an optimal system of one-dimensional subalgebras for classification. Using the conservation theorem, we derive conserved vectors associated with the fundamental invariances of the model; in the NLS setting and under suitable conditions, these quantities can be interpreted as generalized power (mass), momentum, and energy-type invariants. Overall, the results provide explicit wave profiles and structural invariants that enhance the interpretability of the model and offer benchmark expressions useful for further qualitative, numerical, and stability investigations in nonlinear dispersive wave dynamics.
