1Productivity

If Device-to-Device direct communication mode is used in V2X system, then spectrum efficiency is improved and transmission delay is reduced, but transmission reliability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespectrum efficiencyVSAvoidtransmission reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the first terminal device sends a feedback message to the second terminal device after receiving the first message. This feedback loop allows the transmitting device to adjust its transmission based on reception status, thereby improving transmission reliability while maintaining the spectrum efficiency and low delay benefits of D2D communication mode.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The network device configures a first transmission resource set for the terminal device group before actual communication occurs. This preliminary resource configuration ensures that transmission resources are pre-allocated and optimized, enabling reliable communication while maintaining high spectrum efficiency and low latency characteristics of sidelink D2D mode.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If feedback message is transmitted through additional channel, then transmission reliability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission reliabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent reuses the existing sidelink transmission channel for both the original message transmission and the feedback message transmission. By making the sidelink channel multi-functional, the system avoids adding separate dedicated feedback channels, thus improving transmission reliability through feedback while preventing an increase in device complexity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The feedback transmission function is merged with the existing message transmission function on the same sidelink channel. This consolidation allows the system to achieve reliable communication through feedback mechanisms without requiring additional separate channels or complex infrastructure, thereby maintaining simplicity while improving reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
