Solution Overview

Problem

In next-generation radio access technology, there is a risk of radio resource collisions during sidelink communication, particularly in scenarios like platooning, where multiple user equipment (UEs) perform communication without explicit base station scheduling, leading to congestion and potential data transmission failures.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for controlling sidelink communication by receiving sidelink control information, determining the need to transmit coordination information, and transmitting collision indication, preferred resource, and non-preferred resource information to prevent resource collisions, allowing UEs to select or reselect resources dynamically.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If UEs perform sidelink communication without explicit base station scheduling, then communication autonomy and flexibility are improved, but radio resource collision risk increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication autonomyVSAvoidresource collision risk
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by having UEs perform sensing operations before resource selection to identify available resources and avoid collisions. The UE senses the sidelink channel to detect resources already reserved by other UEs, then selects resources based on this advance information, preventing collisions before they occur.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where UEs transmit coordination information including collision indication information, preferred resource information, and non-preferred resource information to other UEs. This feedback loop allows UEs to adjust their resource selections based on real-time channel conditions and other UEs' transmissions, reducing collision risk while maintaining autonomy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If coordination information is transmitted between UEs, then resource collision prevention is improved, but communication overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecollision preventionVSAvoidcommunication overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by making coordination information transmission selective rather than universal. UEs transmit coordination information only when necessary - specifically when collision risk is detected or when providing useful resource recommendations. This targeted approach maintains collision prevention effectiveness while minimizing unnecessary overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements partial action by transmitting only the essential coordination information needed for collision avoidance rather than complete resource status information. The coordination information includes specifically collision indication information, preferred resource information, and non-preferred resource information - only the critical elements needed for effective collision prevention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Adaptability or versatility

If UEs dynamically select or reselect resources, then adaptability to channel conditions is improved, but resource selection complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource adaptabilityVSAvoidresource selection complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing sensing operations before resource selection to gather channel condition information in advance. This preliminary sensing provides the UE with knowledge of available resources and other UEs' transmissions, simplifying the subsequent resource selection process while maintaining adaptability to current channel conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements self-service by enabling UEs to autonomously perform sensing, resource selection, and coordination information transmission without base station intervention. The UE independently evaluates channel conditions, selects appropriate resources, and manages coordination with other UEs, reducing system complexity while maintaining adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
