Solution Overview

Problem

The existing service reporting process in NR V2X lacks a clear solution for sidelink reporting, which is more complex than in LTE, particularly for unicast services, due to the involvement of multiple message types and varying QoS requirements.

Innovation Solution

A wireless communication method that enables terminal devices to send reporting information to network devices based on the information type for establishing sidelink services, including unicast and multicast scenarios, allowing for appropriate access layer configuration and sidelink grant information to be provided, thereby simplifying the reporting process and resource allocation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the existing LTE service reporting process is applied to NR V2X, then the reporting process remains simple, but it cannot handle the complex unicast and multicast scenarios with multiple message types and varying QoS requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to unicast and multicast scenariosVSAvoidreporting process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the service reporting process into distinct types (unicast service reporting and multicast service reporting) with specific message structures for each. Unicast reporting includes target address and QoS attribute information, while multicast reporting includes group identifier and QoS attribute information. This segmentation allows the system to handle different service scenarios with appropriate complexity levels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic reporting mechanisms where the terminal device determines the reporting type based on the service type (unicast or multicast). The reporting process adapts dynamically to the specific scenario requirements, enabling flexibility in handling different message types and QoS requirements without a fixed complex structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Measurement precision

If detailed reporting information is sent for each message type, then the service reporting accuracy improves, but the signaling overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice reporting accuracyVSAvoidsignaling overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by including only the specific information elements required for each reporting type. Unicast reporting includes target address and QoS attribute information, while multicast reporting includes group identifier and QoS attribute information. This approach ensures reporting accuracy by including necessary details while avoiding unnecessary signaling overhead by excluding irrelevant information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Loss of information

If the reporting process is simplified, then the signaling overhead is reduced, but it cannot accommodate multiple message types with different QoS requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignaling overheadVSAvoidsupport for multiple message types
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal service reporting framework that handles both unicast and multicast scenarios through a common reporting structure. The framework uses a service type indicator to route to appropriate processing logic, enabling a single reporting mechanism to serve multiple functions and message types without requiring separate complex procedures for each scenario.

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