Solution Overview

Problem

In vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, the transmission mode 2 leads to resource collisions due to UEs independently selecting sidelink resources without network coverage, resulting in high resource overheads for coordination information and reduced transmission efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A method for reducing resource overheads by optimizing the selection and feedback of sidelink resources using a V2X communication resource pool, including PSFCH resource configuration and sequence-based inter-UE coordination, to minimize collisions and enhance transmission efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a terminal sends a data packet to a server through multiple networks simultaneously, then communication reliability is improved, but determining the optimal transmission path becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidpath determination complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The server sends feedback information to the terminal indicating which network is the optimal transmission path. The terminal uses this feedback to determine subsequent data transmission paths, avoiding the complexity of independent path evaluation while maintaining reliable communication through optimized route selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If a terminal tries multiple networks to send data, then communication reliability is improved, but communication time increases due to trial and error

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidcommunication time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal pre-establishes multiple network connections before data transmission. The server evaluates these pre-established paths and provides feedback on the optimal route, allowing the terminal to transmit data immediately through the best path without time-consuming trial and error during actual communication.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If the terminal independently determines the optimal path, then communication efficiency is improved, but the terminal's computational burden increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication efficiencyVSAvoidterminal computational burden
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The server acts as an intermediary that performs the complex path evaluation and optimization calculations. The terminal simply sends data and receives feedback from the server about the optimal path, transferring the computational burden from the terminal to the server while maintaining communication efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
