Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If proximity-based notification is implemented using D2D communication, then real-time verification of terminal proximity is enabled, but system complexity increases due to additional signaling and coordination requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The base station serves as an intermediary that coordinates the proximity notification process. It receives discovery signals from terminals, manages the notification signaling, and facilitates the proximity verification without requiring direct complex interaction between all terminal pairs, thereby reducing overall system complexity while maintaining reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where terminals send discovery signals and receive notifications about nearby terminals. This feedback loop enables continuous proximity verification and allows the system to adapt to changing spatial relationships between terminals, ensuring reliable real-time notification
2Measurement precision
If discovery signals are broadcast on PSDCH for proximity notification, then terminal proximity detection is enabled, but uplink radio resources are consumed
Solution Approach 1:
Discovery signals are transmitted periodically rather than continuously. Terminals send discovery signals at scheduled intervals, which enables proximity detection while significantly reducing uplink radio resource consumption compared to continuous transmission, balancing detection precision with energy efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary configuration where the base station allocates specific PSDCH resources for discovery signals before terminals begin transmission. This preliminary resource allocation optimizes the use of uplink resources and prevents wasteful transmissions, reducing overall energy consumption while maintaining detection capability
3Adaptability or versatility
If D2D terminal groups are managed with multiple services, then service versatility is improved, but service ID duplication may occur
Solution Approach 1:
The base station acts as a central mediator that manages service ID allocation for D2D terminal groups. It assigns unique service IDs to different services within groups, tracking and coordinating allocations across multiple groups to prevent duplication while allowing versatile service provision throughout the network
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements service ID registration and verification feedback mechanisms. When services are allocated to D2D groups, the base station maintains records and provides feedback to ensure uniqueness. This feedback system detects and prevents service ID duplication while enabling versatile multi-service support across numerous terminal groups

AI summary
The present invention discloses a proximity based notification method in a wireless communication system and a device for the same. In detail, a proximity based notification method in a wireless communication system supporting device to device communication (D2D) may include the steps of: configuring, by a first terminal, a list of terminals which participate in an notification service and a notification time; broadcasting, by the first terminal, a discovery signal including a first D2D ID on a physical sidelink discovery channel (PSDCH) when the notification time arrives; and outputting, by the first terminal, a notification for notifying that a second terminal is proximate when the first terminal receives a second discovery signal including a second D2D ID from the second terminal included in the terminal list on the PSDCH.
