Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems face challenges in mitigating interference in protected zones, particularly where devices operating in different frequency bands, such as ITS and DSRC, coexist, leading to potential performance degradation due to close frequency operations.

Innovation Solution

Implementing location-based frequency domain resource allocation, where devices within protected zones use a full available frequency domain resource allocation to minimize interference, thereby operating in less restrictive coexistence modes and maintaining higher transmit power levels.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If devices operate in different frequency bands (ITS and DSRC) in protected zones, then communication flexibility is improved, but interference between systems increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication flexibilityVSAvoidinterference
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The frequency domain resources are segmented into different allocation schemes based on location. Devices in protected zones use one allocation scheme (full available frequency domain resources), while devices outside use another scheme, thereby separating the operational modes to avoid interference

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different frequency domain resource allocation strategies are applied to different geographic locations. Protected zones receive specialized allocation treatment to minimize interference, while other areas use standard allocation, making the system adapt to local interference conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Power

If devices use full available frequency domain resource allocation in protected zones, then transmit power can be maintained at higher levels, but frequency resource efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmit powerVSAvoidfrequency resource efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The frequency domain resource allocation is made dynamic based on device location. The system transitions between different allocation modes (full available resources vs. other allocations) depending on whether the device is in a protected zone, allowing optimal power and resource efficiency trade-offs for each location

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Object-generated harmful factors

If location-based resource allocation is implemented, then interference mitigation is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterference mitigationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Devices autonomously determine their own location relative to protected zones and self-adjust their frequency domain resource allocation accordingly. This self-service approach eliminates the need for complex centralized control and coordination, reducing overall system complexity while achieving interference mitigation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
