Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently managing resources for full-duplex and half-duplex Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) systems, particularly in avoiding collisions during resource reservation, as half-duplex devices may not be aware of reservations made by full-duplex devices, leading to overlapping resource allocations and potential collisions.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a resource selection procedure where full-duplex devices detect collisions and reselect resources, updating their scheduling information to avoid overlaps, and optionally requesting half-duplex devices to perform similar reselections, based on priority and signal-to-noise ratio considerations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If full-duplex devices transmit and receive simultaneously, then throughput and resource utilization are improved, but resource collision with half-duplex devices increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovethroughputVSAvoidresource collision
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The full-duplex device performs preliminary detection of resource reservations by monitoring sidelink control channels before transmitting data. This allows the device to identify resources reserved by half-duplex devices in advance and avoid selecting those resources, preventing collisions while maintaining full-duplex operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where devices monitor and share resource reservation information through sidelink control channels. Full-duplex devices receive feedback about resources reserved by half-duplex devices and adjust their resource selection accordingly, creating a closed-loop system that reduces collisions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If resource selection procedure is implemented to avoid collisions, then resource management efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource management efficiencyVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The resource selection procedure is implemented in a distributed manner where each device autonomously monitors sidelink control channels, detects resource reservations independently, and makes its own resource selection decisions. This self-service approach improves resource management efficiency without requiring complex centralized coordination

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The sidelink control channel serves multiple functions: it transmits scheduling information for data channels, conveys resource reservation information, and enables collision detection. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated signaling channels, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity

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

AI summary

Methods, systems, and devices for sidelink wireless communications are described in which a user equipment (UE), such as a vehicle UE, that supports full-duplex communications may transmit a sidelink control channel during a set of time resources including scheduling information for a subsequent transmission by the UE via a first set of resources. The UE may receive a sidelink control channel during the set of time resources from a second UE that may support full-duplex communications or half-duplex communications. The sidelink control channel may include scheduling information for a subsequent transmission via a second set of time-frequency resources that at least partially overlaps with the first set of time-frequency resources. The first UE may determine that a collision will occur and may perform a resource selection procedure or may transmit a request for the second device to perform the resource selection procedure.
