Solution Overview

Problem

Current resource allocation methods for New Radio (NR) Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication, such as centralized scheduling from a base station and autonomous selection from user equipment, face challenges in achieving high transmission reliability and low communication delay while optimizing spectrum resource utilization.

Innovation Solution

The proposed method involves a base station receiving a buffer status report (BSR) from a first user equipment (UE), sending scheduling information to a corresponding second UE based on the BSR, and allocating sidelink (SL) resources to the first UE based on SL resource perception information reported by the second UE.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If centralized scheduling from base station is used, then transmission reliability is improved, but communication delay increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission reliabilityVSAvoidcommunication delay
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The base station performs preliminary actions by sending scheduling information to the second UE before the actual resource allocation is needed. This allows the second UE to report resource perception information in advance, enabling the base station to make informed resource allocation decisions that balance reliability and delay requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the second UE reports SL resource perception information back to the base station. This feedback loop allows the base station to adjust resource allocations dynamically, improving transmission reliability while minimizing communication delay by making data-driven decisions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Loss of time

If autonomous selection from user equipment is used, then communication delay is reduced, but transmission reliability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication delayVSAvoidtransmission reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The base station acts as an intermediary that coordinates resource allocations between multiple UEs. By receiving perception information from the second UE and using it to allocate resources to the first UE, the base station mediates the autonomous selection process, maintaining low delay while improving reliability through centralized coordination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If resource pool sharing between centralized scheduling and autonomous selection is implemented, then spectrum resource utilization is improved, but resource allocation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespectrum resource utilizationVSAvoidresource allocation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes key parameters including the introduction of BSR (buffer status report) and SL resource perception information as new state variables. These parameter changes enable dynamic resource allocation that improves spectrum utilization while the structured approach to handling these parameters manages the complexity through systematic information collection and processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
