Solution Overview

Problem

In the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) system, the introduction of power control in unicast and multicast transmission modes can lead to incorrect resource selection by terminal devices, causing interference with other devices using low transmission power, due to the large difference in transmission power levels between devices.

Innovation Solution

A resource selection method that involves obtaining a set of candidate resources, excluding unavailable resources based on measured Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) and an RSRP threshold, and selecting a resource for data transmission, while adjusting the RSRP threshold based on the transmission power difference between devices to prevent interference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If power control is introduced in unicast and multicast transmission modes, then transmission efficiency is improved, but transmission interference increases due to large difference in transmission power levels between devices

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission efficiencyVSAvoidtransmission interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent adjusts the RSRP threshold parameter based on transmission power levels. When a terminal device detects that another device is transmitting at a significantly different power level, it dynamically modifies the RSRP threshold to prevent incorrect resource selection. This parameter adaptation resolves the contradiction by maintaining efficient power control while preventing interference from large power differences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Device complexity

If terminal devices select resources based on fixed RSRP threshold, then resource selection process is simple, but resource selection accuracy deteriorates due to power control variations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource selection process complexityVSAvoidresource selection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the static RSRP threshold into a dynamic parameter that adapts to transmission power conditions. The terminal device monitors transmission power levels and adjusts the RSRP threshold accordingly, enabling accurate resource selection despite power control variations while maintaining reasonable system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Loss of time

If terminal devices use standard resource selection method, then resource allocation is fast, but transmission reliability deteriorates due to incorrect resource selection causing interference

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation timeVSAvoidtransmission reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary assessment of transmission power levels before final resource selection. By evaluating power differences in advance and adjusting the RSRP threshold accordingly, the system prevents incorrect resource selections that would cause interference, thereby improving transmission reliability without significantly increasing resource allocation time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
