Solution Overview

Problem

In vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication systems, terminal devices using different transmission modes face challenges in selecting appropriate transmission resources and reducing interference in the communication system, particularly with the introduction of shared resource pools in Release-15 of the 3GPP protocol.

Innovation Solution

A method for sharing a resource pool in device-to-device (D2D) communication, where terminal devices receive configuration information and downlink control information from a network device to determine and select a target resource pool for data transmission, allowing devices using different transmission modes to share resources and reduce interference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If terminal devices using transmission mode 3 and transmission mode 4 share a resource pool, then resource utilization rate is improved, but interference between different transmission modes increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilization rateVSAvoidinterference between transmission modes
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The shared resource pool is segmented into multiple candidate resource pools, and the network device dynamically indicates which specific pool the terminal should use through DCI. This segmentation allows different transmission modes to access different subsets of resources, reducing mutual interference while maintaining overall resource utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic resource pool selection where the network device can flexibly indicate different target resource pools to terminals based on current system conditions, traffic patterns, and interference levels. This dynamic adjustment optimizes the balance between resource utilization and interference management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Loss of time

If terminal devices independently select transmission resources, then transmission latency is reduced, but resource selection complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission latencyVSAvoidresource selection complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The network device acts as an intermediary that provides pre-configured candidate resource pools and dynamically indicates the target pool through DCI. This intermediary approach guides terminal devices in resource selection, reducing the complexity of independent resource selection while maintaining low latency through efficient resource access.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple candidate resource pools are configured, then resource selection flexibility is improved, but device complexity for managing multiple pools increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource selection flexibilityVSAvoiddevice complexity for managing pools
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the complexity of managing multiple resource pools from the terminal device and places it in the network device. The terminal only needs to receive configuration information and DCI indications, while the network device handles the complex management and selection logic, reducing terminal device complexity while maintaining flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
