D2D Priority List Reporting for Signaling Overhead Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current D2D communication systems lack an efficient method for transmitting priority lists, particularly when sidelink logical channels are configured or released, leading to increased signaling overhead and potential miscommunication between User Equipment (UE) and eNBs.
Innovation Solution
A method where User Equipment (UE) in a D2D communication system checks for changes in configured priorities and triggers a priority list reporting to the eNB when sidelink logical channels are newly configured or released, ensuring accurate and efficient communication by sending a priority list reporting message.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If priority list reporting is transmitted frequently to ensure up-to-date information at eNB, then information freshness is improved, but signaling overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The UE proactively reports priority list information to the eNB when configured to do so, before the eNB would need to request it. This preliminary action ensures the eNB has current priority information without needing to continuously query the UE, thereby reducing signaling overhead while maintaining information freshness.
Solution Approach 2:
The reporting mechanism operates periodically or event-triggered based on configuration, rather than continuously. The UE reports priority list information at scheduled intervals or when specific events occur (such as priority changes), balancing the need for current information with the need to minimize signaling overhead.
2Loss of energy
If priority list reporting is transmitted only when necessary to reduce signaling overhead, then signaling overhead is reduced, but information freshness may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The eNB configures the UE with reporting criteria and thresholds, creating a feedback loop where the UE monitors its priority list changes against these criteria. When changes exceed the configured thresholds or meet specific conditions, the UE triggers a report. This feedback mechanism ensures reports are sent only when necessary, reducing overhead while maintaining reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The reporting behavior is controlled by configurable parameters such as reporting intervals, thresholds, and triggers. By adjusting these parameters, the system can optimize the balance between signaling overhead and information freshness based on specific network conditions and requirements, ensuring reliability is maintained while minimizing overhead.
3Measurement precision
If detailed priority information is reported to ensure accurate communication, then communication accuracy is improved, but message size increases
Solution Approach 1:
The UE extracts and reports only the specific priority list information that is relevant and configured for reporting, rather than transmitting complete detailed information in all cases. This selective extraction provides the eNB with necessary accuracy while minimizing message size by omitting redundant or unnecessary details.
Solution Approach 2:
The reporting mechanism uses partial action by transmitting only the necessary portion of priority information based on configuration and current state. Rather than always reporting complete detailed priority lists, the system reports partial information sufficient for accurate communication, reducing message size while maintaining the precision needed for reliable D2D communication management.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and a device for transmitting a priority list reporting in a D2D communication system, the method comprising: configuring a plurality of sidelink logical channels with a respective priority; checking whether one or more priorities of sidelink logical channels configured to the UE change or not when a new sidelink logical channel is configured, or when a configured sidelink logical channel is released; triggering a priority list reporting including information of priority of sidelink logical channels configured for the UE currently if the UE considers that the one or more priorities of sidelink logical channels configured to the UE change; and transmitting the priority list reporting to an eNode-B.
