Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently transmitting and receiving feedback information for side link messages, particularly in D2D and V2X communication scenarios, where resource collisions and interference affect data transmission and reception.

Innovation Solution

A method where a first UE selects a first resource for message transmission and determines a second resource for feedback, based on the position of the first resource, to transmit feedback information on the second resource, which can include acknowledgement or collision information, using energy levels and SINR to assess collisions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If feedback information is transmitted on the same resource as the side link message, then resource utilization is improved, but resource collision and interference increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilizationVSAvoidresource collision and interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the feedback transmission into two separate resources: the first resource for side link message transmission and the second resource for feedback information transmission. This segmentation prevents resource collision while maintaining efficient resource utilization by dedicating specific resources to specific functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a second resource as an intermediary channel for feedback transmission. This intermediary resource acts as a mediator between the message transmission and the feedback, allowing feedback to be transmitted without directly conflicting with the original message resource.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If a separate second resource is allocated for feedback transmission, then resource collision is reduced, but resource overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource collisionVSAvoidresource overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent dynamically determines the second resource based on the first resource selection. The second resource is determined to be dependent on the position of the first resource, allowing the system to adapt resource allocation dynamically rather than using fixed overhead resources, thus reducing overall resource overhead while maintaining collision avoidance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Productivity

If feedback transmission is implemented in D2D/V2X communication, then network load is reduced, but feedback reliability decreases due to direct link limitations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork load reductionVSAvoidfeedback reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a structured feedback mechanism where feedback information is transmitted on a dedicated second resource. This feedback channel allows receiving UEs to provide acknowledgments, collision information, and other feedback about the side link message, improving reliability through explicit feedback while maintaining the benefits of direct D2D/V2X communication for load reduction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

An embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for transmitting or receiving a side link signal by a first terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of: selecting a first resource through which the first terminal will transmit a message; determining a second resource, which is determined dependent on the position of the selected first resource and is to be used for performing feedback; and transmitting feedback information on the message and the second resource, wherein the feedback information is feedback information relating to a broadcast message received through at least a part of the second resource.
