Solution Overview

Problem

In the Internet of Vehicles, the existing reference signal transmission methods from mobile communication systems are inadequate due to the high speeds of vehicles, leading to poor communication quality and increased likelihood of reception failure by vehicle terminals.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that adjust the reference signal transmission density based on the vehicle's driving speed, sending the signal through a control channel in a unicast mode, and utilizing level identification and feedback information to optimize transmission, ensuring better reception and communication quality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If reference signal transmission density is increased to improve reception reliability, then reception reliability improves, but network resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereception reliabilityVSAvoidnetwork resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent dynamically adjusts reference signal transmission density based on vehicle driving speed. When vehicle speed exceeds a threshold, the system increases transmission density to compensate for Doppler effects and maintain reception reliability. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to optimize between reliability and resource consumption based on actual operating conditions rather than using a fixed transmission density.

2Adaptability or versatility

If reference signal transmission density is increased to adapt to high speed conditions, then communication quality improves, but network resource usage increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to high speedVSAvoidnetwork resource usage
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the transmission density parameter based on vehicle speed conditions. By monitoring vehicle speed and comparing it against thresholds, the system adjusts the reference signal transmission density parameter to be higher when speed exceeds the threshold and lower when it does not. This parameter adaptation enables the system to maintain communication quality across varying speed conditions while minimizing unnecessary resource consumption during low-speed operation.
