D2D User Equipment Time Adjustment for Signal Interference
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In device-to-device (D2D) communication, interference occurs when multiple user equipment (UEs) send data signals in the same subframe, affecting the accuracy rate of signal reception due to differing time adjustment amounts.
Innovation Solution
A method where a first UE acquires scheduling assignment signals from a second UE and at least one third UE, determines a first time adjustment amount that is not less than the maximum time adjustment amount, and receives data signals based on this adjusted time, thereby reducing interference between UEs with larger and smaller time adjustment amounts.

1Productivity
If multiple UEs send data signals in the same subframe, then the air interface resource utilization is improved, but interference between data signals increases and reception accuracy deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The receive end performs preliminary actions by acquiring SA signals from multiple transmit ends before receiving data signals, determining time adjustment amounts in advance, and preparing reception time points beforehand. This preliminary preparation enables the receive end to properly handle multiple simultaneous transmissions by pre-calculating the necessary time adjustments for each transmit end.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the time parameter by introducing time adjustment amounts that are determined based on SA signals. Each transmit end's data signal is received at a different adjusted time point, transforming the reception process from a fixed time-based approach to a dynamic time-adjustment approach, thereby resolving interference while maintaining resource utilization.
2Ease of operation
If a fixed time adjustment amount is used for receiving data signals, then the reception process is simplified, but interference from other UEs with different time adjustments cannot be avoided
Solution Approach 1:
The invention dynamically changes the time adjustment parameter based on SA signal information from multiple transmit ends. Instead of using a fixed time adjustment, the receive end determines specific time adjustment amounts for each transmit end, adapting the reception timing to accommodate multiple simultaneous transmissions with different timing characteristics.
Solution Approach 2:
The SA signal acts as feedback information that provides timing characteristics of transmit ends. The receive end uses this feedback to determine appropriate time adjustment amounts, creating a closed-loop system where timing information is continuously adjusted based on the actual transmission conditions of multiple UEs.
