Solution Overview

Problem

Existing resource pool designs for sidelink communications in V2X services do not fully leverage the advantages provided by the NR 5G standard, particularly in managing resource allocation and interference for vehicles operating in various coverage scenarios.

Innovation Solution

Implement a transceiver that configures multiple resource sets with distinct properties, such as different subcarrier spacings and bandwidths, to optimize resource allocation and interference management in V2X communications, allowing for dynamic adjustment based on load and quality of service criteria.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single resource pool is used for V2X communications, then the system structure is simple, but the adaptability to different coverage scenarios and load conditions is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different coverage scenariosVSAvoidresource pool structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the single resource pool into multiple resource sets (first resource set, second resource set, third resource set) with different properties. Each resource set is configured with specific parameters such as subcarrier spacing, bandwidth, and time frequency resources, allowing the system to adapt to different coverage scenarios and load conditions while maintaining manageable structure through systematic segmentation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic resource selection where the transmitting UE determines which resource set to use based on current system conditions. The network can dynamically activate or deactivate specific resource sets, and the UE autonomously selects appropriate resources from the configured sets, providing adaptability without requiring a completely dynamic reconfiguration of the entire system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If resource allocation is optimized for high reliability, then communication quality improves, but the system flexibility and ease of operation are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidresource selection flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables the transmitting UE to autonomously determine which resource set to use based on its own transmission requirements and the configured resource sets. The UE performs self-assessment of available resources and selects appropriate time frequency resources without requiring continuous network control, thereby maintaining high reliability through structured resource allocation while preserving operational flexibility through autonomous decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple resource sets with different subcarrier spacings are configured, then the adaptability to different numerologies is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesupport for different numerologiesVSAvoidresource configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent configures multiple resource sets that support different numerologies (first numerology with first subcarrier spacing, second numerology with second subcarrier spacing). These resource sets are designed to be universally applicable across different coverage scenarios and load conditions, allowing a single system framework to handle multiple numerologies without requiring separate dedicated configurations for each, thus managing complexity while achieving versatility.

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