Solution Overview

Problem

Current Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication systems face challenges in efficiently managing data transmission between sidelink and adhoc radio channels, leading to congestion and interference, which affects the reliability and quality of information exchange in vehicular networks.

Innovation Solution

A roadside network node equipped with processors, memory, and dual radio modules for cell-supported and adhoc radio communications, dynamically selects the most suitable channel for data transmission based on service quality, congestion, and target propagation range, and adjusts repetition rates to optimize resource utilization and reduce interference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If data is transmitted via both sidelink and adhoc radio channels simultaneously, then transmission reliability is improved, but channel congestion and interference increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission reliabilityVSAvoidchannel congestion and interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically selects between sidelink and adhoc radio channels based on real-time channel conditions, transmission requirements, and congestion levels. The selection is not static but adapts to changing network states, allowing the system to maintain reliability while avoiding congestion by switching channels as needed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

Different transmission modes (sidelink vs adhoc) are applied to different data types, service requirements, and channel conditions. Critical safety messages may use one channel while non-critical data uses another, allowing localized optimization of transmission quality for different traffic types

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If transmission repetition rate is increased to ensure message delivery, then service quality is improved, but resource utilization efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice qualityVSAvoidresource utilization efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes transmission parameters including repetition rate, modulation scheme, and coding rate based on channel conditions and message priority. When channel quality is good, repetition rate is reduced; when quality degrades, repetition rate increases dynamically, optimizing the balance between reliability and resource efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

Full repetition of transmissions is applied only when necessary based on channel conditions and message criticality. Non-critical messages use minimal repetitions while critical safety messages receive enhanced repetition, avoiding unnecessary resource consumption for messages that don't require it

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Device complexity

If channel selection is made statically, then system complexity is reduced, but adaptability to changing channel conditions deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidadaptability to channel conditions
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The channel selection mechanism transitions from static to dynamic, continuously monitoring channel quality metrics such as signal strength, interference levels, and congestion status. The system adapts its transmission channel choices in real-time based on these measurements, maintaining low complexity through standardized measurement and selection procedures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
