Logical Channel Prioritization for D2D Sidelink Resource Allocation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current D2D communication systems lack an effective method for transmitting data from multiple user equipment using the same resources, particularly in prioritizing logical channels for efficient data transmission in D2D communication environments.
Innovation Solution
A method where the MAC entity in User Equipment (UE) selects a ProSe Destination with the highest SL-LoCH Priority and performs Logical Channel Prioritization (LCP) for all SL-LoCHs belonging to that selected ProSe Destination, ensuring efficient resource allocation and data transmission.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If multiple user equipment transmit data using the same resources in D2D communication, then resource utilization efficiency is improved, but data transmission priority management becomes complex and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the D2D communication data transmission by introducing logical channel prioritization, where different logical channels are assigned different priority levels. This segmentation allows the system to manage multiple data streams with different importance levels separately, resolving the complexity of priority management while maintaining efficient resource utilization across multiple user equipment.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of channel priority assignment by introducing SL-LoCH Priority as a specific parameter that can be configured and adjusted. This parameter change enables dynamic priority management where the network can assign different priority values to different logical channels based on service requirements, thereby simplifying the overall priority management mechanism while improving resource utilization efficiency.
2Productivity
If logical channel prioritization is implemented for all SL-LoCHs, then data transmission efficiency is improved, but processing time and system overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by implementing logical channel prioritization selectively rather than uniformly for all logical channels. The system performs LCP procedure for SL-LoCHs that require priority management while allowing other channels to use default mechanisms, thereby improving data transmission efficiency for critical channels without incurring processing overhead for all channels.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different priority management approaches to different logical channels based on their specific requirements. High-priority channels receive detailed LCP processing while lower-priority channels use simplified mechanisms, optimizing the balance between transmission efficiency and processing time through localized quality differentiation.
