Solution Overview

Problem

In sidelink communication systems, there is a lack of effective methods to determine the validity of transmission opportunities and actual channel coding rates, leading to unreliable communication and wastage of radio spectrum resources.

Innovation Solution

A method is introduced to determine target start symbols within a resource pool, calculate the actual channel coding rate of a transport block starting from the second start symbol, and adjust transmission based on this rate and a predefined threshold to optimize channel access and reduce resource waste.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a UE attempts channel access at multiple start symbols to increase transmission opportunities, then channel access probability is improved, but communication reliability deteriorates due to inability to determine actual channel coding rate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechannel access probabilityVSAvoidcommunication reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent calculates the actual channel coding rate in advance before channel access attempt at the second start symbol. By determining the coding rate beforehand based on the transport block size and available resources, the system can predict whether transmission will be reliable, thus resolving the contradiction between increasing access opportunities and maintaining reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a feedback mechanism where the calculated actual channel coding rate is compared against a threshold to determine whether to proceed with transmission at the second start symbol. This feedback loop ensures that only transmissions meeting reliability criteria are executed, maintaining communication reliability while allowing multiple access attempts

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If transmission is attempted at the second start symbol without validating coding rate, then transmission opportunities are increased, but resource wastage increases due to invalid transmission attempts

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission opportunitiesVSAvoidradio spectrum resource wastage
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary validation by calculating the actual channel coding rate before attempting transmission at the second start symbol. This advance calculation prevents wasteful transmission attempts by identifying invalid opportunities beforehand, thus reducing radio spectrum resource wastage while preserving legitimate transmission opportunities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system serves itself by autonomously determining the validity of transmission opportunities through internal calculation of the actual channel coding rate. This self-validation mechanism eliminates the need for external coordination and automatically filters out wasteful transmission attempts, optimizing resource utilization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
