Solution Overview

Problem

The existing single-carrier transmission mode for sidelink data in NR-V2X communication systems limits the throughput of sidelink transmission, as the receiving terminal uses the same carrier for both sidelink data and PSFCH, necessitating a method to improve carrier selection for PSFCH transmission.

Innovation Solution

The receiving terminal selects a carrier for PSFCH transmission based on first indication information, carrier configuration information of PSFCH, and channel busy ratio (CBR) to optimize carrier usage in multi-carrier sidelink communication.

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the carrier selection for PSFCH transmission flexible and adaptive rather than fixed. The receiving terminal dynamically selects a carrier for PSFCH based on multiple factors including carrier configuration information, Channel Busy Ratio (CBR), and indication information from the sending terminal. This dynamic carrier selection allows the system to optimize throughput and reliability by choosing the most appropriate carrier at transmission time, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and performance.

2Productivity

If multiple carriers are used for sidelink data transmission, then the throughput is improved, but the carrier selection complexity for PSFCH increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by using multiple selection criteria (carrier configuration information, CBR, indication information) to determine the PSFCH carrier. Instead of a simple fixed rule, the system changes parameters such as selecting carriers based on CBR thresholds or configuration information to manage complexity while maintaining high throughput from multi-carrier data transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where the sending terminal provides indication information about preferred carriers, and the receiving terminal uses CBR feedback to assess channel conditions. This feedback loop enables intelligent carrier selection for PSFCH that accounts for current system state, balancing complexity and performance in multi-carrier scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Device complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses dynamics by enabling the receiving terminal to dynamically select a carrier for PSFCH transmission based on real-time conditions including carrier configuration, CBR measurements, and sending terminal indications. This dynamic approach allows the system to choose carriers that maximize feedback reliability while maintaining implementation simplicity through automated selection algorithms.
