Solution Overview

Problem

In wireless communication systems, particularly in the first mode where network devices allocate transmission resources, the uncertainty about the activation or deactivation of sidelink feedback by terminal devices leads to inefficient resource allocation, reducing communication reliability due to unreasonably allocated resources.

Innovation Solution

The terminal device determines whether to activate or deactivate sidelink feedback based on the time interval between configured transmission resources, ensuring sufficient processing time for data transmission, or indicates this status to the network device for proper resource allocation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the network device allocates transmission resources without knowing the SL feedback status, then resource allocation can be performed, but the allocation becomes unreasonable and reduces communication reliability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation efficiencyVSAvoidcommunication reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal device reports its SL feedback status (activated or deactivated) to the network device. The network device uses this feedback information to make reasonable resource allocation decisions, ensuring that resources are allocated appropriately based on whether the terminal device can process and respond to SL feedback within the allocated time interval.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal device determines its SL feedback status in advance before resource allocation occurs. By pre-determining whether it can activate or deactivate SL feedback based on the time interval between transmission resources, the terminal device provides accurate status information to the network device for proper resource allocation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If the terminal device activates SL feedback, then communication reliability improves through retransmission capability, but processing time requirements increase and may cause unreasonable resource allocation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal device dynamically adjusts its SL feedback status (activate or deactivate) based on the time interval between transmission resources. When the time interval is sufficient, the terminal device activates SL feedback to improve reliability. When the time interval is insufficient, the terminal device deactivates SL feedback to avoid processing time conflicts, allowing flexible adaptation to different resource allocation scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal device changes the parameter of SL feedback status (activated/deactivated) based on the time interval parameter between transmission resources. This parameter change allows the system to optimize between reliability and processing time by adjusting the feedback mechanism according to the available time window.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Speed

If the network device allocates resources without considering SL feedback status, then allocation speed is maintained, but data transmission may fail due to insufficient processing time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation speedVSAvoiddata transmission reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal device provides feedback information about its SL feedback status to the network device. This feedback enables the network device to adjust resource allocation decisions to ensure sufficient processing time for data transmission and feedback handling, thereby improving reliability without significantly slowing down the allocation process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal device pre-determines its SL feedback capability based on the time interval before resource allocation occurs. This preliminary determination allows the network device to allocate resources with confidence that the terminal device can process feedback within the allocated time, preventing transmission failures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
