Solution Overview

Problem

Existing roadside network nodes face inefficiencies in processing and transmitting data due to duplicate information and high processing loads, leading to increased effort and potential congestion in communication channels, especially in Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) networks.

Innovation Solution

A roadside network node equipped with both cell-supported and ad-hoc radio modules, capable of determining similarity values between data entities received through different channels, aggregates and filters data to prevent duplicate transmissions, thereby reducing processing effort and congestion by selectively providing only new or different content to higher layers or channels.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the roadside network node receives and processes all data entities from multiple radio channels, then complete information is available for transmission, but processing load and channel congestion increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidprocessing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary comparison and similarity assessment of data entities before full processing and transmission. By evaluating similarity values in advance, the system identifies and filters duplicate data entities, preventing unnecessary processing and transmission of redundant information while maintaining information completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system extracts and removes duplicate data entities from the received data stream by comparing similarity values. Only data entities with sufficient差异性 (difference) are selected for further processing and transmission, effectively separating useful unique information from redundant duplicates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Reliability

If duplicate data entities are transmitted through multiple radio channels, then data redundancy provides backup transmission paths, but channel congestion and network inefficiency increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission reliabilityVSAvoidchannel congestion
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and eliminates duplicate data entities by comparing similarity values across different radio channels. By removing redundant duplicates before transmission, the system prevents channel congestion while maintaining transmission reliability through selective propagation of unique data entities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of transmitting all received data entities through all channels, the system applies partial action by selectively transmitting only those data entities that meet the similarity threshold criteria. This reduces unnecessary transmissions that would cause congestion while maintaining sufficient redundancy for reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Loss of information

If all received data entities are provided to higher layer functions, then no information is lost, but processing effort and computational resources are wasted on duplicates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidprocessing effort
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and removes duplicate data entities by comparing similarity values before providing data to higher layer functions. This extraction process eliminates redundant processing while ensuring that all unique information is preserved and transmitted upward in the protocol stack.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary filtering and similarity assessment before data entities are provided to higher layer functions. By conducting this preliminary action, the system prevents wasteful processing of duplicates at higher layers while maintaining complete information availability for unique data entities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
