Solution Overview

Problem

The challenge in New Radio (NR)-Vehicle to Everything (V2X) communication is selecting a carrier for Physical Sidelink Feedback Channel (PSFCH) transmission when multi-carrier sidelink transmission is supported, as existing methods do not address how to optimize this process for improved throughput and reliability.

Innovation Solution

The method involves the first terminal selecting a carrier for PSFCH transmission based on first indication information, carrier configuration information of PSFCH, and Channel Busy Ratio (CBR) to optimize carrier selection for PSFCH in multi-carrier sidelink transmission scenarios.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If single-carrier transmission mode is used for sidelink data, then the PSFCH transmission is simple and reliable, but the throughput of the sidelink transmission system is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovethroughputVSAvoidcarrier selection complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by transitioning from single-carrier to multi-carrier transmission modes. The system dynamically adjusts the carrier configuration based on transmission requirements, allowing the terminal to select from multiple carriers (e.g., first carrier and second carrier) to transmit PSFCH, thereby increasing throughput while managing complexity through structured selection criteria.

2Productivity

If multi-carrier transmission is supported for sidelink data, then the throughput is improved, but the carrier selection for PSFCH transmission becomes unclear and complex

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovethroughputVSAvoidcarrier selection ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the terminal receives indication information from the network or measures channel conditions (such as CBR - Channel Busy Ratio) to determine the optimal carrier for PSFCH transmission. This feedback loop simplifies the carrier selection process by providing clear guidance on which carrier to use based on current system conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring carrier information and establishing selection criteria before actual transmission occurs. The terminal is provided with carrier configuration information and indication signals in advance, enabling it to automatically select the appropriate carrier without complex real-time decision-making, thus improving ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If the same carrier is used for both sidelink data and PSFCH transmission, then the system is simple to implement, but the reliability of feedback transmission is reduced in multi-carrier scenarios

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeedback transmission reliabilityVSAvoidcarrier configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by separating the carrier selection for sidelink data transmission from the carrier selection for PSFCH transmission. The system allows different carriers to be used for different purposes - data carriers for carrying sidelink data and feedback carriers for carrying PSFCH - thereby improving feedback transmission reliability while managing complexity through structured carrier allocation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
