Solution Overview

Problem

Existing 5G communication systems lack efficient methods to support various vehicle-to-everything (V2X) services, particularly in next-generation mobile communication systems, requiring improved resource allocation and operation on the user plane to handle diverse V2X services like advanced driving and platooning.

Innovation Solution

A service-specific resource pool is defined in next-generation mobile communication systems to support V2X services, with terminals and base stations configured to manage resources efficiently, and operations are enhanced for LTE and NR terminals to handle V2X services, including MAC PDU format determination, radio bearer management, and security key configuration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a service-specific resource pool is defined to support various V2X services, then the adaptability and service support capability are improved, but the device complexity and resource management overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveV2X service support capabilityVSAvoidresource management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The resource pool is segmented into service-specific resource pools, where each pool is dedicated to a particular V2X service type (e.g., platooning, advanced driving). This segmentation allows the system to support diverse V2X services with tailored resource allocations while maintaining manageable complexity through structured organization of resources by service type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different resource pools are configured with service-specific parameters and characteristics optimized for each V2X service type. Each service-specific resource pool has localized quality attributes (such as resource allocation patterns, transmission parameters) that are optimized for its intended service, rather than using a uniform configuration for all services.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Productivity

If resource allocation methods are enhanced for LTE and NR terminals, then the productivity and transmission efficiency are improved, but the ease of operation and configuration complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveV2X message transmission efficiencyVSAvoidterminal configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The resource allocation method is designed to be universal across both LTE and NR terminals supporting V2X services. The same service-specific resource pool structure and selection procedures apply to both terminal types, allowing a single configuration framework to serve multiple terminal technologies and reducing the need for separate configuration procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

Service-specific resource pools are pre-configured and defined in advance for each V2X service type. Terminals can autonomously select appropriate resource pools based on their service requirements without requiring complex real-time negotiation or configuration procedures, thereby improving transmission efficiency while simplifying terminal operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Loss of energy

If service-specific resource pools are configured with low signaling overhead, then the loss of energy and signaling efficiency are improved, but the measurement precision and resource allocation accuracy may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignaling overheadVSAvoidresource allocation precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes key parameters such as resource pool identifiers, service types, and terminal capabilities to enable efficient resource allocation. By utilizing existing parameter structures and changing their interpretation or combination rather than introducing new complex signaling elements, the system achieves accurate service-specific resource allocation with minimal additional signaling overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
