Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed PSCCH time-frequency resource is used as in LTE-V2X, then the system structure is simple and easy to implement, but it cannot meet the diverse service requirements of terminal services in NR V2X

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice requirement adaptabilityVSAvoidresource configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the PSCCH frequency domain resource configurable rather than fixed. The network device can dynamically adjust the frequency domain resource parameters (such as bandwidth, subcarrier spacing) according to different service requirements, allowing the system to adapt from simple to complex configurations as needed while maintaining implementation feasibility through standardized configuration procedures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If the PSCCH time-frequency resource is made flexible to meet diverse service requirements, then service adaptability is improved, but the complexity of resource configuration and management increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice requirement adaptabilityVSAvoidresource configuration ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by introducing configurable parameters for PSCCH frequency domain resources, including bandwidth, subcarrier spacing, and resource block allocation. These parameters can be adjusted according to service requirements while maintaining a standardized configuration interface, allowing flexibility without proportionally increasing operational complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the resource configuration into separate controllable parameters (frequency domain resources, time domain resources, bandwidth, subcarrier spacing). This segmentation allows independent optimization of each parameter according to service needs while simplifying the overall configuration management through modular parameter settings

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

This application provides example communication methods and example terminal apparatuses. One example method includes obtaining, by a first terminal apparatus, resource pool configuration information, where the resource pool configuration information includes information about a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) time domain resource. The first terminal apparatus can then determine a PSCCH frequency domain resource based on the resource pool configuration information and a format of control information. The first terminal apparatus can then send the control information to a second terminal apparatus, where the control information is carried on a PSCCH time-frequency resource, and where the PSCCH time-frequency resource includes the PSCCH time domain resource and the PSCCH frequency domain resource.
