Solution Overview

Problem

In the internet-of-vehicle system, existing technologies face challenges in efficiently performing sidelink feedback to improve the reliability of sidelink transmission, especially when multiple bits of feedback information need to be carried.

Innovation Solution

A wireless communication method and terminal device that enable multi-bit sidelink feedback by transmitting a sidelink feedback channel carrying information of more than one bit, allowing for improved feedback efficiency and reliability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If multiple feedback channels are used to carry feedback information for each PSSCH and TB, then the feedback information can be transmitted completely, but the feedback overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeedback information completenessVSAvoidfeedback overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple feedback channels into a single sidelink feedback channel by combining feedback information from multiple PSSCH and TB into one unified feedback message. This consolidation reduces the number of separate feedback transmissions while ensuring all necessary feedback information is conveyed, directly resolving the contradiction between complete information transmission and reduced overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Quantity of substance

If one sidelink feedback channel carries feedback information for multiple PSSCH and TB, then the feedback overhead is reduced, but the complexity of feedback information management increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeedback overheadVSAvoidfeedback information management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments feedback information into distinct components corresponding to different PSSCH and TB, organizing them in a structured format within the single feedback channel. This segmentation approach allows the receiving terminal to efficiently parse and manage feedback information for multiple transmissions without increasing overall overhead, balancing simplicity with comprehensive feedback coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
