Solution Overview

Problem

In wireless communication systems, particularly in sidelink (SL) communication, partial sensing techniques lead to unnecessary power consumption and reliability issues due to meaningless re-evaluation or pre-emption procedures when sensing results are unavailable for all resource slots, causing resource conflicts.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for performing wireless communication based on partial sensing, where a UE selects Y slots within a selection window, performs sensing for at least one slot, and determines SL transmission resources, allowing re-evaluation or pre-emption only for resources not later than the last resource initially selected within each period, thereby optimizing power saving and reliability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Use of energy by moving object

If partial sensing is performed only for some slots to save battery consumption, then power saving is improved, but re-evaluation or pre-emption procedures become meaningless when sensing results are unavailable, causing resource conflicts and reliability deterioration

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery consumptionVSAvoidSL communication reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The resource selection window is divided into multiple slots, and sensing is performed selectively for only some of these slots rather than all slots. This segmentation allows the UE to save power by limiting sensing operations to specific slots while still maintaining adequate resource selection capability through the partial sensing information obtained.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Sensing operations are performed in advance for selected slots before the actual resource selection and transmission. By conducting sensing preliminarily for specific slots, the UE obtains channel state information ahead of time, enabling informed resource selection while avoiding continuous sensing that would consume excessive power.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If re-evaluation or pre-emption procedures are performed without sensing results, then resource reselection flexibility is improved, but unnecessary power consumption increases and resource conflicts occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource reselection flexibilityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The re-evaluation and pre-emption procedures are conditioned on the availability of sensing results. The UE checks whether sensing information is available for the resource under consideration before initiating re-evaluation or pre-emption. This feedback mechanism ensures that resource reselection actions are taken only when based on valid channel state information, preventing meaningless operations that would waste power and cause conflicts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
