Solution Overview

Problem

Current D2D communication systems face challenges in handling ID collisions, which hinder efficient data transmission between multiple User Equipments sharing the same resources.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system that manages ID collisions by generating and managing unique IDs for D2D communication, ensuring that each UE can identify and communicate with others without ID conflicts, using mechanisms such as MAC PDU structures and collision detection protocols.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If multiple User Equipments share the same resources for D2D communication, then resource utilization efficiency is improved, but ID collision occurs leading to communication reliability degradation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilization efficiencyVSAvoidcommunication reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The network side performs preliminary ID collision detection by receiving first data from a first UE and second data from a second UE, comparing the data to detect collisions before they affect communication. This preventive approach allows the system to maintain high resource utilization while ensuring communication reliability by identifying and handling collisions in advance.

2Reliability

If ID collision detection mechanisms are implemented, then communication reliability is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The network side acts as an intermediary that performs ID collision detection by receiving and comparing data from multiple UEs. This centralized approach simplifies the overall system architecture compared to distributed detection methods, as the network entity coordinates the detection process and manages collision resolution, reducing the complexity burden on individual UEs while maintaining high communication reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A method for operating by a first User Equipment, UE, in wireless communication system, is proposed, which comprises: generating, by the first UE, a first signaling message including a first identifier, ID, of the first UE for a first sidelink ProSe direct communication with a second UE; transmitting, by the first UE, the first signaling message to a second UE; and receiving, by the first UE, a second signaling message from the second UE in response to the first signaling message, wherein based on an operation associated with the first signaling message being not successfully processed by the second UE, the first UE receives the second signaling message including an indicator indicating that a collision of the first ID is detected.
