Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems face challenges in authorizing pedestrian user equipment (UE) in vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications, particularly in ensuring proper authentication and radio resource allocation for pedestrian UEs, which is crucial for safe and efficient V2X services.

Innovation Solution

The method involves an eNodeB (eNB) receiving authorization information for pedestrian UE, vehicle UE, and roadside unit (RSU) UE, using specific information elements (IEs) to determine authorization status and manage radio resources effectively, including partial sensing in sidelink transmission to conserve power for pedestrian UEs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If authorization information is received and processed for pedestrian UE in V2X communication, then authentication reliability is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication reliabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The authorization information is segmented into distinct information elements (IEs), where each IE represents a specific authorization status for different UE types (pedestrian UE, vehicle UE, RSU UE). This segmentation allows the eNB to process and authorize different UE types independently, improving authentication reliability while managing system complexity through modular information handling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If radio resources are allocated for pedestrian UE in V2X communication, then service availability is improved, but resource management complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice availabilityVSAvoidresource management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by providing differentiated radio resource allocation and authorization based on UE type. Pedestrian UEs receive specific authorization and resource allocation tailored to their V2X communication needs, while vehicle UEs and RSU UEs receive different configurations. This targeted approach improves service availability for each UE type without requiring complex global resource management for all UEs uniformly.

AI summary

For vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, an eNodeB (eNB) receives authorization information for a pedestrian UE which indicates whether a user equipment (UE) is authorized as the pedestrian UE. Upon receiving the authorization information for the pedestrian UE, the eNB may authorize the UE as the pedestrian UE or not according to the received authorization information, and decide a resource allocation mode for the authorized pedestrian UE.
