Solution Overview

Problem

The existing parameter values used by user equipment (UE) in sidelink communication, such as interference threshold, signal strength threshold, and channel occupancy rate threshold, are fixed, leading to suboptimal resource selection and imbalance between reliability and packet drop rate.

Innovation Solution

Adaptive determination of parameter values based on target mapping relationships or initial values with numerical value adjustment step lengths, considering factors like time lengths, counter values, and retransmission numbers to optimize resource assignment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If fixed parameter values are used in resource monitoring process, then device complexity is reduced, but reliability and resource selection performance deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparameter management complexityVSAvoidresource selection reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms fixed parameters into dynamic adjustable parameters. The network device configures multiple parameter values and indicates which one to use through signaling (e.g., index indication, offset indication). This allows parameters to adapt to different channel conditions and traffic scenarios while maintaining manageable complexity through network-controlled selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the values of communication parameters (interference threshold, signal strength threshold, channel occupancy rate threshold, distance threshold) based on different scenarios. The network device provides multiple configured values and uses signaling to select appropriate values dynamically, enabling parameter optimization without requiring complex UE-side calculations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If fixed parameter values are used, then ease of operation is improved, but adaptability to different scenarios deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparameter configuration simplicityVSAvoidscenario adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables dynamic parameter adaptation through network signaling. The network device configures multiple parameter values in advance and indicates the appropriate one to use based on current conditions. This maintains operational simplicity for the UE while achieving high adaptability through network-controlled parameter selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal parameter configuration mechanism that works across different scenarios (V2X, D2D, different channel conditions). The same framework of configuring multiple values and selecting through signaling applies universally, making the system versatile without requiring scenario-specific complex configurations at the UE side.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Device complexity

If autonomous resource selection mode is used with fixed parameters, then device complexity is reduced, but productivity and system performance deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveUE autonomous operation complexityVSAvoidresource selection efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The network device acts as an intermediary that provides parameter guidance to the UE. Instead of the UE making complex autonomous decisions, the network configures multiple parameter values and indicates which one to use. This intermediary approach reduces UE complexity while improving resource selection efficiency through network-optimized parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The network device performs preliminary configuration of multiple parameter values before the UE needs to make resource selections. By pre-configuring and pre-evaluating multiple parameter options, the network prepares optimal parameters in advance, enabling the UE to efficiently select resources without complex real-time calculations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
