Solution Overview

Problem

In Device-to-Device (D2D) communication, determining the appropriate carriers for data packets with different packet priorities in a terminal device is a challenging task, as existing methods lack efficiency in signaling overhead reduction and data transmission efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A terminal device determines carriers for transmitting data packets with specific priorities based on configuration information that indicates a correspondence between packet priorities and carriers, allowing for reduced signaling overhead and improved data transmission efficiency by selecting carriers that match the priority levels and Channel Busy Ratio (CBR) thresholds.

1Productivity

If a terminal device determines carriers for different packet priorities using existing methods, then data transmission can be performed, but signaling overhead is high and data transmission efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission efficiencyVSAvoidsignaling overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the carrier selection process by establishing separate correspondence relationships between packet priorities and carriers for different service types (first service and second service). This segmentation allows the terminal device to select carriers based on specific priority-to-carrier mappings rather than using a unified complex determination method, thereby reducing signaling overhead while maintaining transmission efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing correspondence relationships between packet priorities and carriers through configuration information before actual data transmission occurs. The terminal device receives configuration information that includes these pre-defined mappings, allowing it to directly determine carriers for different packet priorities without performing complex real-time calculations, thus reducing signaling overhead and improving transmission efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
