Solution Overview

Problem

In pedestrian-to-vehicle (P2V) communications, the continuous sensing of resource status by user equipment (UE) for different reservation intervals leads to high power consumption due to the need to perform sensing in multiple fixed sensing windows, resulting in inefficient resource selection and increased power usage.

Innovation Solution

The UE determines parameter information for a sensing window, including start time and duration, based on resource usage status, such as congestion level and reservation intervals, to adaptively sense and select resources, reducing the need for fixed sensing windows.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If UE performs sensing in multiple fixed sensing windows for different reservation intervals, then resource selection accuracy is improved, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource selection accuracyVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the sensing window configuration adaptive rather than fixed. The network configures sensing window parameters (start time, length, quantity) dynamically based on UE capability information and service requirements. This allows the sensing mechanism to adapt to different scenarios, maintaining resource selection accuracy while optimizing power consumption by avoiding unnecessary sensing in fixed windows.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes key parameters of the sensing window (start time, duration, quantity of windows) based on UE capability feedback and service type. By adjusting these parameters dynamically, the system achieves resource selection accuracy comparable to multiple fixed sensing windows while reducing overall sensing overhead and power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If UE continuously senses resource status for different reservation intervals, then resource availability is improved, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource availabilityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements partial sensing by configuring UE to sense only a specific quantity of sensing windows rather than continuously monitoring all possible reservation intervals. The network determines the optimal number of sensing windows based on service requirements and UE capability, allowing partial sensing that maintains resource availability while significantly reducing power consumption compared to continuous sensing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Ease of operation

If UE performs sensing in fixed sensing windows, then sensing simplicity is improved, but adaptability to different service requirements deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesensing simplicityVSAvoidservice adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal sensing mechanism that can adapt to different service types (e.g., P2V, V2V) and UE capabilities through network-configurable parameters. The same sensing framework serves multiple functions by adjusting sensing window start time, length, and quantity based on service requirements, maintaining simplicity while achieving broad adaptability.

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