Solution Overview

Problem

Current radio communication technologies face challenges in establishing high-speed connections between radio communication apparatuses, particularly in V2X communication scenarios where initial-connection delays and packet errors lead to connection failures and reduced communication time.

Innovation Solution

A radio communication apparatus with processing circuitry that scans connection destination candidates and control circuitry determining the start timing of second-initial connection processing based on the cause of failure, thereby optimizing the initial-connection process to avoid delays and enhance connection success rates.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional initial-connection processing is used, then connection establishment is attempted, but connection delay increases and connection success rate decreases due to packet errors in V2X communication

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection success rateVSAvoidinitial-connection time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by determining the start timing of second initial-connection processing in advance based on the cause of first connection failure. The control circuitry identifies failure causes (timeout, packet error, etc.) and pre-calculates optimal retry timing before actual reconnection attempts, allowing the system to proactively prepare connection retry strategies rather than reacting after failures occur.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamics by making the start timing of second initial-connection processing variable and adaptive based on the specific cause of first connection failure. Different failure causes (timeout, packet error, beam failure) result in different dynamically adjusted retry timings, allowing the system to flexibly adapt connection retry strategies to actual communication conditions rather than using fixed retry intervals.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If initial-connection processing is performed in V2X communication, then connection is attempted, but packet errors cause connection failures and reduced communication time

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies feedback by using the outcome of first initial-connection processing (failure cause identification) to adjust the timing and strategy of second initial-connection processing. The control circuitry receives feedback about connection failure causes (timeout, packet error, beam failure) and uses this information to determine optimal retry timing, creating a closed-loop system that continuously improves connection success based on actual performance data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements parameter changes by modifying the start timing parameter of second initial-connection processing based on the identified cause of first connection failure. Different failure causes trigger different timing parameter adjustments, allowing the system to optimize connection retry parameters dynamically rather than using fixed timing values, thereby improving both connection success rate and communication efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A radio communication apparatus includes: processing circuitry, which, in operation, scans a radio connection destination candidate; and control circuitry, which, in operation, determines, when first initial-connection processing to the connection destination target fails, a start timing of second-initial connection processing based on a cause of the failure. The processing circuitry scans the connection destination candidate based on the start timing of the second initial-connection processing.
