Solution Overview

Problem

In the context of NR-V2X communication, determining the target terminal for resource conflict indication is challenging when multiple terminals have overlapping resource reservations, particularly in scenarios involving hidden nodes, half-duplex issues, and excessive power consumption.

Innovation Solution

A terminal (UE-A) sends a reference resource set or conflict indication to another terminal (UE-B) to assist in resource selection, helping UE-B avoid conflicts and improve reliability by prioritizing resource reselection based on signal quality and priority.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a terminal sends resource conflict indication to multiple terminals, then resource conflict resolution coverage is improved, but signaling overhead and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource conflict resolutionVSAvoidtarget terminal determination complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of target terminal selection from arbitrary or random selection to selection based on specific criteria including signal quality measurement and priority comparison. The terminal measures signal quality (e.g., RSRP) from candidate terminals and compares it with threshold values, and also compares priority levels of data to be transmitted, thereby determining the target terminal in a standardized manner that reduces complexity while improving resolution effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by making the target terminal determination adaptive to local conditions. Different terminals are selected as targets based on their individual signal qualities and priority levels. The resource conflict indication is sent selectively to the most appropriate terminal(s) based on local measurements rather than uniformly to all candidates, optimizing the resolution process for each specific conflict scenario.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If resource conflict indication is sent to all candidate terminals, then conflict resolution completeness is improved, but power consumption and signaling overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconflict resolution completenessVSAvoidterminal power consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements partial action by sending resource conflict indication only to necessary target terminals rather than to all candidate terminals. The selection of target terminals is based on signal quality thresholds and priority comparisons, ensuring that only terminals that truly need to resolve the conflict receive the indication. This reduces unnecessary signaling and power consumption while maintaining adequate conflict resolution coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Productivity

If resource selection is performed autonomously by terminals, then network control overhead is reduced, but resource allocation efficiency and conflict resolution capability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation speedVSAvoidresource conflict detection and resolution
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces feedback mechanisms where terminals measure signal qualities of received signals from other terminals and use this information to determine target terminals for resource conflict indication. The autonomous terminal performs sensing, measures RSRP values, compares them with thresholds, and adjusts its resource selection based on this feedback. This maintains autonomous operation while improving conflict detection and resolution through informed decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
