Solution Overview

Problem

The challenge lies in effectively allocating and distributing transmission power for an NR V2X UE when it communicates through multiple links, ensuring that the total power does not exceed its maximum capacity, particularly in scenarios involving simultaneous transmissions across different communication channels.

Innovation Solution

The proposed solution involves methods for an NR V2X UE to allocate and distribute transmission power efficiently across various communication links, including NR uplink, LTE uplink, NR sidelink, and LTE sidelink, ensuring that the total power does not exceed the maximum allowable limit.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If transmission power is increased to maintain communication quality across multiple links, then communication reliability is improved, but power consumption exceeds maximum capacity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication qualityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic power allocation where the UE continuously monitors channel conditions, buffer status, and power headroom across multiple links, adjusting transmission power in real-time based on current communication needs and available power headroom, rather than using fixed power allocation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes power allocation parameters dynamically by modifying transmission power levels based on power headroom reports, channel quality indicators, and buffer status, allowing the system to adapt power distribution to match actual communication requirements and avoid excessive power consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If transmission power is allocated to maintain communication quality across multiple links, then communication reliability is improved, but device complexity increases due to power management requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication qualityVSAvoidpower management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service power management where the UE autonomously monitors its own power headroom, channel conditions, and buffer status, and automatically adjusts transmission power without requiring complex external coordination or control mechanisms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses feedback mechanisms where the UE reports power headroom information to the network and receives power allocation commands, while also continuously monitoring channel quality and adjusting power based on communication performance feedback from multiple links

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If transmission power is distributed across multiple links, then communication versatility is improved, but power allocation difficulty increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication versatilityVSAvoidpower allocation difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments power allocation into hierarchical levels: first allocating total power among different radio access technologies (NR/LTE) and link types (uplink/sidelink) based on priority and requirements, then distributing remaining power within each link based on channel conditions and buffer status

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different power allocation strategies to different links based on their specific characteristics - NR links may use different power distribution than LTE links, and uplink transmissions may have different power requirements than sidelink transmissions, optimizing each link's power usage according to its local needs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
