Solution Overview

Problem

In sidelink resource selection scenarios, there is a need to determine the appropriate physical channel or physical resource for transmitting a reference resource set from a first terminal to a second terminal to assist in resource selection.

Innovation Solution

The first terminal transmits a reference resource set to the second terminal through a Physical Sidelink Assistant Channel (PSACH), improving the resource selection performance of the second terminal.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a reference resource set is transmitted to assist resource selection, then resource selection performance is improved, but the choice of physical channel or physical resource becomes uncertain

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource selection performanceVSAvoidchannel selection complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a Physical Sidelink Assistant Channel (PSACH) as an intermediary channel specifically for transmitting reference resource sets. This mediator channel resolves the uncertainty by providing a dedicated pathway that bridges the information needs of resource selection without requiring complex selection logic from the terminal devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If a dedicated channel is created for transmitting reference resource sets, then transmission reliability is improved, but channel configuration complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission reliabilityVSAvoidchannel configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The PSACH is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a channel for transmitting reference resource sets and as part of the overall sidelink communication framework. This universal design allows the channel to be configured within existing system parameters while providing dedicated functionality, thereby improving reliability without proportionally increasing configuration complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Provided are a wireless communication method and a terminal device. A first terminal can send a reference resource set to a second terminal by means of a PSACH, so as to improve the performance of the second terminal for resource selection. The wireless communication method comprises: a first terminal sending a reference resource set to a second terminal by means of a PSACH, wherein the reference resource set is used by the second terminal to perform resource selection or resource reselection, or the reference resource set is used for triggering the second terminal to perform resource selection or resource reselection.
