Solution Overview

Problem

In D2D/V2V communication systems, the lack of information on sidelink resource usage leads to low resource utilization efficiency, affecting scheduling and selection processes.

Innovation Solution

A method is introduced to determine resource priority by performing energy detection and information decoding on physical sidelink control channels, weighting the results to assign a priority index or level, and using this information for resource selection or scheduling.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If energy detection and information decoding are performed on PSCCH to determine resource priority, then resource utilization efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilization efficiencyVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs energy detection and information decoding on PSCCH resources in advance before resource selection, determining priority levels beforehand. This preliminary action provides prioritization information that guides subsequent resource selection, improving overall resource utilization efficiency while managing device complexity through structured processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces priority determination as an intermediary step between physical layer signal reception and higher layer resource selection. By adding this intermediate processing layer that evaluates PSCCH energy and decoding results, the system achieves better resource utilization without directly complicating the core communication functions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If resource priority determination is implemented through energy detection and information decoding, then interference is reduced, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveinterferenceVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements resource priority determination periodically during resource selection occasions, performing energy detection and information decoding at structured intervals rather than continuously. This periodic approach reduces interference through informed resource selection while managing processing time by avoiding constant evaluation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs partial processing by conducting energy detection on all PSCCH resources but only performing full information decoding on resources with promising energy levels. This selective approach reduces overall processing time while still achieving interference reduction through priority-based resource selection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
