Adaptive Radio Resource Selection for D2D RTT Stabilization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In device-to-device communications, the round-trip transmission time (RTT) is unstable and difficult to control due to dependence on radio access layers that lack information on experienced RTT, leading to performance issues in applications requiring timely responses.
Innovation Solution
A user equipment selects radio resources for transmitting a response packet based on a selection window whose size is dependent on the time duration related to the received packet, allowing for adaptive adjustment of RTT to a target value by starting the selection window before or after the generation of the response packet, thereby reducing the delay and stabilizing the RTT.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a classical radio resource selection with a fixed Packet Delay Budget (PDB) is used, then the resource selection process is simple and straightforward, but the Round-Trip Time (RTT) becomes unstable and unpredictable
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the selection window size adaptive rather than fixed. The selection window dynamically adjusts its size based on the time duration related to the received packet, allowing the system to adapt RTT characteristics to different communication conditions while maintaining operational simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of selection window size from a fixed PDB value to a variable dependent on the time duration related to the received packet. This parameter change enables the system to control RTT stability by adjusting the selection window size according to actual communication conditions
2Stability of the object's composition
If the selection window size is reduced to stabilize RTT, then the RTT becomes more predictable and stable, but the available radio resources for transmission are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The selection window size dynamically adapts based on the time duration related to the received packet. When RTT stability is prioritized, the window is reduced; when more resources are needed, the window can be enlarged, creating a dynamic balance between stability and resource availability
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the selection window size parameter based on communication conditions. By making this parameter variable rather than fixed, the system can optimize the balance between RTT stability and available radio resources according to specific scenario requirements
3Ease of manufacture
If the selection window starts after the generation of the response packet, then the resource selection is simpler to implement, but the RTT delay increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by allowing the selection window to start before the response packet generation is complete. This enables radio resources to be selected in advance, reducing the overall RTT delay while maintaining manageable implementation complexity through proper timing coordination
