Control Unit for Side-Link Resource Pool Configuration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current technologies lack a solution for configuring side-link communication in a versatile manner, particularly in integrating network slicing into side-link communication, which affects resource management and isolation in RAN for V2X services over NR-PC5 resources.
Innovation Solution
A control unit is configured to obtain upper layer and session requirements to generate and configure side-link resource pools, enabling slice awareness and resource pool scheduling for V2X communications, allowing for resource isolation and efficient management of side-link resources across slices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If network slicing is integrated into side-link communication for V2X services, then resource management and isolation are improved, but device complexity and configuration complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing side-link resources into separate resource pools for different network slices. Each slice receives dedicated resource pool configurations with specific parameters (frequency ranges, time resources, spatial resources), ensuring resource isolation between slices while maintaining manageable configuration through structured division.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements local quality by configuring different resource pool parameters tailored to specific slice requirements. Each network slice receives customized resource pool configurations based on its specific QoS needs, traffic characteristics, and service requirements, rather than using uniform configurations for all slices.
2Productivity
If slice-aware resource pool configuration is implemented, then resource management efficiency is improved, but the complexity of resource pool configuration increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring resource pools for different network slices before actual V2X communication occurs. The control unit establishes slice-specific resource pool configurations in advance, including frequency ranges, time resources, and spatial parameters, so that resources are ready for immediate allocation when communication needs arise.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by dynamically adjusting resource pool configurations based on slice-specific requirements. The control unit modifies configuration parameters such as frequency ranges, time resource allocations, and spatial resources to match the particular needs of each network slice, optimizing resource management for diverse V2X services.
