Solution Overview

Problem

The existing resource selection mode in NR-V2X systems leads to issues such as hidden node, half duplex, exposed node, and high power consumption during resource selection, which affect the reliability and efficiency of wireless communication.

Innovation Solution

A first terminal device indicates a second terminal device to provide a first resource set, allowing the first terminal device to select a transmission resource based on this set to avoid interference and improve reliability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If terminal devices select transmission resources randomly or based on sensing results, then resource selection simplicity is improved, but hidden node, half duplex, and exposed node problems occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource selection simplicityVSAvoidresource selection reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a base station as an intermediary to allocate transmission resources to terminal devices. The base station receives resource allocation requests from terminals, determines appropriate resources based on system state and terminal positions, and assigns resources to avoid conflicts. This intermediary coordination eliminates hidden node, half duplex, and exposed node problems by centralizing resource management while maintaining operational simplicity for terminals.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If terminal devices perform sensing-based resource selection, then interference avoidance is improved, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterference avoidanceVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The base station performs preliminary resource allocation before terminal transmission, determining suitable resources based on system state, terminal positions, and potential interference scenarios. By pre-assigning resources that are guaranteed to be non-conflicting, the system eliminates the need for terminals to perform continuous sensing operations, thereby reducing power consumption while maintaining interference avoidance capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Device complexity

If terminal devices autonomously select resources from resource pool, then device complexity is reduced, but resource selection reliability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveterminal device complexityVSAvoidresource selection reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The base station acts as a mediator that handles the complex resource selection logic centrally. Terminals simply request resources and receive assignments without needing to implement complex sensing, collision detection, or conflict resolution algorithms. This shifts the complexity from distributed terminals to a centralized base station, reducing terminal device complexity while improving resource selection reliability through coordinated management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
