Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently managing exceptional resource pools for Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications, particularly in scenarios requiring high reliability and low latency, due to increased traffic loads and varying Quality of Service (QoS) requirements.

Innovation Solution

A method where user equipment (UE) selectively uses exceptional resource pools based on exceptional conditions, allocating HARQ feedback resources for enhanced reliability, and configures exceptional pools with or without feedback resources depending on QoS and occupancy levels, allowing for flexible resource selection mechanisms like random or short-term sensing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If exceptional resource pools are configured with HARQ feedback resources for high reliability scenarios, then communication reliability is improved, but resource overhead and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidresource pool configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The resource pool is segmented into normal resource pools and exceptional resource pools based on different QoS requirements. Exceptional resource pools are further segmented into those with HARQ feedback resources and those without. This segmentation allows the system to configure HARQ feedback resources only where needed for high reliability scenarios, rather than uniformly across all resource pools, thus improving reliability where necessary while controlling overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different parts of the resource pool configuration have different qualities: normal resource pools use basic random selection, while exceptional resource pools can use enhanced sensing mechanisms and HARQ feedback. This local quality enhancement applies complexity and reliability improvements only to the specific subset of resource pools that require them, rather than uniformly across the entire system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Measurement precision

If UE performs short-term sensing for exceptional resource pool selection, then resource allocation accuracy is improved, but processing time and energy consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource selection accuracyVSAvoidresource selection time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of performing full long-term sensing for all resource pool selections, the UE performs partial short-term sensing only for exceptional resource pools when exceptional conditions are detected. This partial action provides sufficient accuracy for exceptional scenarios without the time cost of complete sensing procedures in all cases.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The sensing duration and depth are dynamically adjusted based on the situation: normal resource pools use basic random selection with minimal sensing, while exceptional resource pools trigger short-term sensing. This dynamic approach allows the system to adapt the measurement precision and time investment to the actual requirements of each transmission scenario.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Provided herein is a method for performing, by a first apparatus (100), resource selection in a wireless communication system. The method may include the steps of receiving system information including configuration information related to exceptional pools from a base station (200); selecting the first exceptional pool or the second exceptional pool, based on at least one of a physical layer problem, a connection re-establishment, a handover, or a normal resource pool which is unavailable; selecting a resource from the selected exceptional pool; and performing a sidelink (SL) communication using the resource.
