Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication systems, particularly in the context of 5G V2X communication, face challenges in efficiently transmitting feedback information due to limitations in timing synchronization and resource allocation, leading to suboptimal performance in scenarios requiring low latency and high reliability.
Innovation Solution
The proposed solution involves optimizing the transmission timing of feedback information by employing advanced numerologies and resource allocation strategies within the 5G New Radio (NR) system, allowing for rapid and synchronized communication between user equipment (UEs) through the use of sidelink communication, which includes configuring specific numerology settings for sidelink synchronization signals and resource units to ensure timely and reliable data exchange.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional timing synchronization methods are used in 5G V2X communication, then system compatibility is maintained, but feedback information transmission latency increases and reliability decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by introducing multiple numerologies (subcarrier spacing configurations) to adjust the timing characteristics of feedback information transmission. Different numerologies allow the system to optimize between latency and reliability based on specific V2X application requirements, resolving the contradiction by enabling flexible parameter adaptation rather than using a fixed traditional timing method
2Productivity
If advanced numerologies and resource allocation strategies are employed, then feedback information transmission latency decreases and reliability improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamics by making the numerology configuration adaptive and flexible. The system can dynamically select and switch between different numerologies based on channel conditions, traffic types, and QoS requirements. This dynamic approach allows the system to achieve high productivity when needed while managing complexity through intelligent adaptation rather than rigid complex structures
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the feedback information transmission into different numerology-based channels or resources. Different segments of feedback traffic can be handled by different numerologies optimized for their specific requirements, which manages overall system complexity through modular organization while achieving high overall productivity
3Measurement precision
If multiple numerologies are supported for different feedback scenarios, then transmission timing accuracy improves, but resource allocation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different numerologies to different feedback scenarios or resource pools based on their specific timing accuracy requirements. Critical feedback requiring high precision uses numerologies optimized for timing accuracy, while less critical feedback uses standard configurations. This localized optimization achieves high measurement precision where needed while managing overall resource allocation complexity through targeted rather than universal complexity

AI summary
A method of performing an operation for a first user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system includes determining a slot for transmitting a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) based on a value related to the number of slots from a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) to the PUCCH by the first UE, and transmitting, to a base station (BS), feedback information based on the PSFCH through the PUCCH in the slot by the first UE. The value related to the number of slots is applied based on a last of slots for the PUCCH, overlapped with a slot for the PSFCH on a time axis.
