Solution Overview

Problem

Existing V2X communication systems face inefficiencies in resource selection and increased complexity due to blind decoding of multiple resource pools, leading to suboptimal UE operations and performance.

Innovation Solution

The proposed method includes efficient resource exclusion operations and reduced UE complexity by defining UE operations based on sidelink control information and aligning SL DCI sizes, thereby optimizing resource selection and reducing blind decoding complexity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a UE performs blind decoding on SL DCI related to each of multiple resource pools, then the UE can access resources in all resource pools, but the complexity of the UE increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource pool access capabilityVSAvoidUE complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes specific DCI formats from blind decoding operations based on the UE's operational context. When a UE is configured with multiple resource pools, the UE determines which DCI formats to exclude from blind decoding based on whether the resource pool is for SL or UL, thereby reducing complexity while maintaining necessary access capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different blind decoding strategies to different resource pools based on their local characteristics. The UE identifies whether each resource pool is for SL or UL and applies corresponding DCI format filtering, making the blind decoding process adaptive to local pool properties rather than uniformly complex across all pools.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If a transmitting UE receives SCI from another UE indicating reserved resources, then resource collision is avoided, but the resource selection flexibility is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource collision avoidanceVSAvoidresource selection flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the resource exclusion process dynamic and context-aware. The transmitting UE determines whether to exclude resources based on the resource pool type (SL or UL) and the specific DCI format received. This dynamic approach allows the UE to maintain reliability by excluding resources only when necessary, while preserving flexibility when exclusion is not required by the local context.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the behavior of resource exclusion based on parameters such as resource pool type and DCI format. The UE adjusts its resource selection parameters dynamically, excluding resources only when the received SCI indicates reservations in the same resource pool type, thereby maintaining reliability while avoiding unnecessary restrictions on resource selection flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Provided are a method for performing wireless communication by a first device and a device supporting same. The method may comprise: receiving, from a second device, first sidelink control information (SCI) including information related to a resource reservation period, on a slot; determining a size of a selection window based on a remaining packet delay budget; obtaining a value of N by applying a ceiling function to a value obtained by dividing the size of the selection window by the resource reservation period; determining that resources are reserved by the second device on the N slots, after the slot in which the first SCI is received, which are spaced apart by a unit of the resource reservation period; and based on the determination, selecting a resource for SL communication in the selection window, wherein the N is a positive integer.
