Remote UE Ideal Link Reporting to Skip Relay Configurations
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently managing ideal link connections between remote UEs and relay UEs, leading to unnecessary configurations that can hinder performance in scenarios like vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for a remote UE to establish an RRC connection, identify an ideal link connection with a relay UE, and report this connection to the base station, thereby ignoring unnecessary configurations related to multi-path relay operations, such as QoS split and SL bearer configurations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the remote UE receives multi-path relay configurations from the BS, then the system can provide flexible relay operation options, but the unnecessary configurations increase device complexity and processing overhead
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes unnecessary multi-path relay configurations from the system when an ideal link connection is detected. The remote UE identifies the ideal link connection and reports it to the BS, which then stops providing redundant multi-path relay configurations, thereby reducing processing complexity while maintaining operational flexibility through the ideal link.
Solution Approach 2:
The remote UE autonomously identifies its own ideal link connection status and initiates the process to stop receiving unnecessary configurations without requiring continuous BS intervention. This self-service mechanism reduces the burden on the BS and optimizes resource allocation.
2Reliability
If the BS provides detailed multi-path relay configurations including QoS split and SL bearer configurations, then the system can optimize communication quality, but the unnecessary configurations waste processing resources and time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and eliminates redundant configuration messages from the BS to the remote UE when an ideal link connection is established. This includes removing unnecessary QoS split configurations and SL bearer configurations that would be redundant over an ideal link, thereby reducing processing time while maintaining communication quality through the efficient ideal link path.
Solution Approach 2:
The remote UE performs preliminary identification of its ideal link connection status before receiving configurations. By reporting this status in advance, the system can pre-prepare and send only necessary configurations, avoiding time-consuming processing of redundant multi-path relay settings.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the remote UE processes all received configurations including multi-path relay settings, then the system maintains comprehensive configuration options, but the processing overhead increases without providing additional benefit from ideal link connections
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes unnecessary configuration processing from the remote UE's workload when an ideal link connection is detected. By identifying and reporting the ideal link status, the remote UE can stop processing redundant multi-path relay configurations, thereby improving processing efficiency while maintaining adaptability through the ideal link connection.
Solution Approach 2:
The remote UE self-determines its processing requirements based on its ideal link connection status. It autonomously decides to stop processing unnecessary configurations and reports this to the BS, optimizing its own processing efficiency while maintaining comprehensive configuration options through the ideal link path.

AI summary
An embodiment relates to an operation method of a remote user equipment (UE) related to a multi-path relay in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: establishing a radio resource control (RRC) connection to a base station by the remote UE; identifying possession of an ideal link connection to a relay UE by the remote UE; and reporting, to the base station, the possession of the ideal link connection by the remote UE, wherein the remote UE ignores, on the basis of the possession of the ideal link connection, a configuration related to a multi-path relay operation, which is received from the base station.
