Solution Overview

Problem

In sidelink communication, user equipment (UEs) face challenges in efficiently measuring and reporting channel state information due to varying interference levels across different resources, which affects communication quality and reliability.

Innovation Solution

A method where a first device measures channel states for multiple resources and transmits channel state information related to a partial resource with optimal interference levels to a second device, allowing for efficient sidelink channel state information reporting and feedback.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If a UE measures and reports channel state information for all available resources in sidelink communication, then the reporting completeness is improved, but the signaling overhead and processing complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechannel state information completenessVSAvoidreporting complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the resource pool into multiple resource sets and divides the channel state information reporting into separate reports for each resource set. This allows the UE to report CSI selectively for specific resource sets rather than all resources, reducing overall reporting complexity while maintaining comprehensive coverage across different interference conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements partial action by allowing the UE to report channel state information for only a subset of resource sets based on interference conditions. The UE can selectively report CSI for resource sets with interference above or below certain thresholds, avoiding the need to report for all resources and thus reducing signaling overhead and processing complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

2Reliability

If a UE reports channel state information for resources with varying interference levels, then the communication reliability is improved, but the signaling overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidsignaling overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating reporting requirements based on local interference conditions of each resource set. The UE determines whether to report CSI for each resource set based on its specific interference level relative to thresholds, allowing selective reporting only where necessary to maintain reliability, thus reducing overall signaling overhead

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the reporting parameter (whether to report CSI) based on the interference level parameter of each resource set. By comparing interference measurements against configured thresholds, the system dynamically adjusts reporting behavior, maintaining reliability for resource sets requiring it while saving signaling resources for those that don't

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
