Solution Overview

Problem

In Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) or New Radio (NR) V2X systems, the continuous power consumption of vehicle-mounted terminals due to continuous transmitting and receiving design hinders power saving, despite having continuous power supply, and existing solutions fail to address this issue effectively.

Innovation Solution

A method for processing discontinuous reception parameters is implemented, where different DRX parameters or parameter values are set based on various communication parameters such as transmission modes, service types, RAT types, interface types, and carrier frequencies to enable power-saving data transmission and reception on a sidelink.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Use of energy by moving object

If discontinuous reception is used to save battery power, then power consumption is reduced, but reception quality deteriorates due to packet loss

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower consumptionVSAvoidreception quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where the terminal notifies the network side of reception status, and the network side adjusts transmission parameters based on this feedback to maintain reception quality while enabling discontinuous reception for power saving

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes reception parameters such as reception window size, retransmission thresholds, and scheduling intervals based on channel conditions and power saving requirements to balance between power consumption and reception quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If reception parameters are frequently adjusted to adapt to channel changes, then reception quality improves, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereception qualityVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements dynamic parameter adjustment where reception parameters are automatically adapted based on real-time channel conditions using algorithms that balance between responsiveness to channel changes and processing complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary parameter configuration and pre-establishes parameter adjustment rules before actual reception occurs, reducing the complexity of real-time processing while maintaining adaptability to channel changes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Use of energy by moving object

If discontinuous reception is implemented, then battery power is saved, but packet loss increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements error correction codes, redundancy packets, and buffering mechanisms before discontinuous reception causes packet loss, providing a cushion that compensates for potential information loss while maintaining power saving benefits

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses feedback mechanisms where the terminal notifies the network side of reception status, enabling the network to retransmit lost packets or adjust transmission to prevent packet loss while maintaining discontinuous reception for power saving

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
