Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems, particularly in V2X technology, face limitations in message transmission distance due to constraints in dedicated short-range communication techniques like WAVE, necessitating improvements for enhanced device-to-device communication.

Innovation Solution

A method for device-to-device communication using broadcast and groupcast based on quality-of-service (QoS) flows, involving a V2X layer that allocates QoS flow IDs (QFIs) for PC5 unicast, broadcast, and groupcast communications, utilizing preconfigured or network-provided information to determine and apply appropriate communication modes and QoS parameters.

1Length of moving object

If dedicated short-range communication techniques like WAVE are used for V2X, then device-to-device communication is enabled, but message transmission distance is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage transmission distanceVSAvoidcommunication reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments communication into multiple modes (broadcast, groupcast, unicast) with different QoS parameters. Broadcast mode covers wider area for extended transmission distance, while groupcast and unicast provide higher reliability for specific receivers. This segmentation allows the system to trade off between distance and reliability based on communication mode.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes QoS parameters (priority, packet error rate, latency) based on communication mode. Broadcast uses parameters optimized for wide coverage and distance, while groupcast and unicast use parameters optimized for reliability. This dynamic parameter adjustment resolves the contradiction between transmission distance and communication reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Length of moving object

If QoS parameters are optimized for broadcast and groupcast, then communication range is enhanced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication rangeVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent pre-configures QoS parameters and communication mode selection criteria before actual communication occurs. The V2X layer is pre-equipped with multiple QoS parameter sets for different modes, eliminating the need for complex real-time decision-making. This preliminary preparation reduces system complexity while maintaining extended communication range capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal V2X communication framework that handles multiple communication modes (broadcast, groupcast, unicast) through a single layered architecture. The V2X layer provides multi-functionality by managing all communication types with unified QoS parameter management, reducing overall system complexity despite supporting multiple modes with different ranges.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
