Priority-Dependent Sidelink Sync Signal Transmission

The patent modifies the transmission decision parameters by introducing priority-based adjustments to the RSRP threshold. Instead of using a fixed threshold, the system dynamically adjusts the threshold based on UE priority levels, ensuring that higher priority UEs are more likely to transmit synchronization signals even when RSRP measurements are moderate. This parameter change resolves the contradiction by maintaining simple threshold-based decision logic while improving synchronization coverage through priority-aware threshold adjustment.

The patent applies local quality by differentiating transmission behavior based on UE priority levels. Instead of uniform transmission rules for all UEs, the system implements priority-specific transmission thresholds and behaviors. Higher priority UEs use lower thresholds and are more aggressive in transmitting, while lower priority UEs use higher thresholds and transmit less frequently. This localized differentiation ensures that synchronization quality is optimized through higher priority UE participation without requiring all UEs to transmit continuously, thereby managing energy consumption.

The patent uses parameter changes by introducing priority-based threshold adjustment rather than applying a uniform low threshold. The transmission threshold is dynamically modified based on the priority level of each UE, allowing higher priority UEs to transmit with lower thresholds while lower priority UEs maintain higher thresholds. This selective parameter adjustment expands coverage through higher priority UE participation while preventing widespread low-quality transmissions that would cause interference.

The patent applies local quality by differentiating the measurement and decision process based on UE priority. Instead of treating all UEs equally in the measurement process, the system prioritizes measurements and decisions for higher priority UEs. This allows the system to make accurate transmission decisions for critical high-priority UEs without requiring exhaustive measurements of all neighboring UEs, thereby reducing overall measurement time and processing overhead while maintaining decision accuracy where it matters most.
