Solution Overview

Problem

The increasing number of vehicles equipped with Internet of Vehicles (IoV) terminals leads to network congestion due to the uncontrolled generation and transmission of detailed vehicle state messages, exacerbating existing congestion issues.

Innovation Solution

A message transmission method and apparatus that obtain and process network congestion control configuration information to manage message transmission, including parameters such as time intervals, power control, and content control, to optimize message processing and sending, thereby relieving network congestion.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If terminals send all generated vehicle state messages without control, then message transmission completeness is improved, but network congestion increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage transmission completenessVSAvoidnetwork congestion
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of message transmission by introducing configurable parameters (time intervals, power levels, content filters) that allow terminals to adjust their message sending behavior dynamically based on network conditions, thereby balancing information completeness with network congestion control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent makes the message transmission system dynamic by allowing terminals to adaptively adjust transmission parameters in real-time based on network congestion levels and message priorities, rather than using fixed transmission rules

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Measurement precision

If terminals generate more detailed vehicle state messages, then information quality is improved, but network congestion worsens

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation qualityVSAvoidnetwork congestion
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by allowing different message types to have different transmission qualities and priorities. Important vehicle state messages can be transmitted with higher detail and frequency, while less critical messages are filtered or transmitted with lower quality to reduce overall network congestion

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of message detail level by introducing configurable filters and prioritization mechanisms that allow terminals to adjust the granularity and completeness of message content based on network conditions and message importance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Loss of time

If terminals transmit messages frequently, then information timeliness is improved, but network congestion increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation timelinessVSAvoidnetwork congestion
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic action by introducing configurable time intervals for message transmission. Instead of continuous or overly frequent transmission, terminals send messages at optimized intervals that balance information timeliness with network load management

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent makes the transmission frequency dynamic by allowing terminals to adjust message sending intervals based on real-time network conditions and message priority, enabling faster transmission during low congestion and slower transmission during high congestion periods

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
