Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently managing sidelink resources for Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications, particularly in protecting high-priority packet transmissions and maintaining appropriate transmission resource collision probabilities between User Equipments (UEs).

Innovation Solution

The method involves reselecting sidelink resources in New Radio (NR) V2X systems, allowing for controlled frequency of preemption resource occurrence, thereby protecting high-priority packet transmissions and minimizing transmission resource collisions between UEs by determining resource overlap and priority relationships.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If sidelink resources are allocated autonomously to UEs for V2X communication, then communication efficiency and UE autonomy are improved, but transmission resource collision probability between UEs increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication efficiencyVSAvoidtransmission resource collision probability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing sensing operations before resource selection to identify and avoid resources that would cause collisions. UEs sense the channel in advance, detect reserved resources from other UEs, and adjust their resource selection accordingly, preventing collisions before they occur.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where UEs monitor the sidelink channel for reservations and transmissions from other UEs, and use this information to adjust their own resource selection. This continuous feedback loop enables dynamic resource adaptation to avoid collisions while maintaining autonomous operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If resource preemption is implemented to protect high-priority packets, then reliability of high-priority transmission is improved, but frequency of preemption resource occurrence increases causing resource waste

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehigh-priority packet protectionVSAvoidresource waste
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting the preemption threshold and resource selection parameters based on channel conditions, traffic priority, and collision probability. This allows the system to optimize the balance between protecting high-priority packets and minimizing resource waste by adapting parameters to current conditions rather than using fixed preemption rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Provided is a method for a first device to perform sidelink communication with a second device. The method comprises: determining a first resource for a first sidelink transmission; receiving, from a third device, a SCI including information related to a second resource for a second sidelink transmission; determining to reselect the first resource, based on overlap of the first resource and the second resource and a relationship between a first priority value of the first sidelink transmission and a second priority value of the second sidelink transmission satisfying a pre-configured condition; and transmitting, to the second device, a first PSCCH related to the first sidelink transmission or a first PSSCH related to the first PSCCH, based on a third resource determined by reselecting the first resource, wherein the pre-configured condition includes a condition in which the first priority value is greater than the second priority value.
