Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication systems face challenges in prioritizing logical channels effectively for sidelink communication, particularly in scenarios involving device-to-device (D2D) and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications, where data transmission latency is a critical issue and power efficiency is not the primary concern.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for prioritizing logical channels based on configurations of a transmission resource pool, allowing terminals to select and allocate resources for sidelink data and discovery messages, optimizing channel prioritization and resource allocation to manage data transmission efficiently.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single prioritization method is used for all resource pools, then the system complexity is reduced, but the adaptability to different communication scenarios deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different resource pool configurationsVSAvoidcomplexity of prioritization mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic prioritization by allowing the terminal to select different prioritization methods based on the type of resource pool being accessed. When accessing a first resource pool (for discovery messages), one prioritization method is applied, while when accessing a second resource pool (for data transmission), a different prioritization method is applied. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction by making the system flexible enough to handle different scenarios while maintaining clear, scenario-specific rules that prevent excessive complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different prioritization strategies to different resource pools based on their specific functions. The first resource pool (discovery messages) receives a prioritization method optimized for message transmission, while the second resource pool (data transmission) receives a method optimized for data throughput. This local optimization allows each resource pool to be handled with the most appropriate method, improving overall adaptability without requiring a single complex universal solution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Productivity

If logical channel prioritization is performed without considering resource pool configuration, then the processing speed is improved, but the data transmission efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission efficiencyVSAvoidprocessing time for prioritization
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary classification of resource pools into different types (first resource pool for discovery messages, second resource pool for data transmission) before the actual prioritization process. The terminal is pre-configured with different prioritization methods for each resource pool type. When a resource pool is accessed, the appropriate prioritization method is already available, eliminating the need for complex real-time analysis and reducing processing time while maintaining high transmission efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
