Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems lack efficient methods for processing sidelink capability information, particularly in terminal-to-terminal communication scenarios such as V2X, which are essential for advanced services like platooning and remote driving.

Innovation Solution

A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system processes sidelink capability information by receiving and transmitting UE capability messages based on radio access technology (RAT) type and frequency information, including features like RLC, MAC, and PHY, to support sidelink unicast, groupcast, and broadcast communications.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If sidelink capability information is processed without filtering by RAT type and frequency, then the processing is simpler, but the accuracy and relevance of capability information for V2X services deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecapability information accuracyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The capability information is segmented by RAT type (EUTRA, NR, EUTRA-NR) and frequency information (Uu frequency, sidelink frequency) into distinct groups. The base station requests capability information for specific RAT types and frequencies, and the UE provides filtered capability information accordingly, improving accuracy without requiring complete unfiltered data exchange

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The relevant capability information is extracted from the complete capability set by filtering based on RAT type and frequency criteria. The UE extracts and reports only the capability information that matches the requested RAT type and frequency combinations, eliminating unnecessary data transmission while maintaining precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Quantity of substance

If all capability information is transmitted regardless of relevance, then completeness is improved, but transmission overhead and network efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecapability information completenessVSAvoidtransmission overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The capability information transmission is made dynamic by adapting the content based on the specific RAT type and frequency requirements. The base station dynamically requests capability information for specific scenarios, and the UE dynamically provides only the relevant subset, optimizing the balance between completeness and overhead for each communication scenario

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The capability information is parameterized by RAT type and frequency, allowing selective transmission based on these parameters. By changing which parameters are included in the capability information report based on the specific service requirements, the system maintains completeness for relevant parameters while reducing overall transmission overhead

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
