Solution Overview

Problem

The limited availability of authorized spectrum resources for 5G vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology necessitates the use of unauthorized spectrums, which must comply with regulatory requirements such as occupied channel bandwidth (OCB) and power spectral density (PSD), leading to unreliable sidelink resource allocation processes and reduced transmission success rates.

Innovation Solution

A sidelink resource allocation method and apparatus that involves sending first indication information to a second device, correlating with interlaces or sub-channels within a resource pool in the unauthorized spectrum, to improve resource allocation reliability and enhance transmission success rates.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If unauthorized spectrum is used to expand available spectrum resources, then spectrum availability is improved, but resource allocation reliability deteriorates due to regulatory compliance requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespectrum resourcesVSAvoidresource allocation reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The resource pool is segmented into multiple interlaces, where each interlace represents a set of non-contiguous resource blocks. This segmentation allows the system to comply with OCB requirements by ensuring that resources within each interlace are distributed across different frequency locations, thereby reducing concentrated interference and improving allocation reliability in unauthorized spectrum.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces new parameters for interlace-based resource allocation, including interlace index, resource block offset, and allocation pattern. These parameter changes enable flexible configuration of resource distribution patterns that can adapt to different regulatory requirements while maintaining reliable resource allocation in unauthorized spectrum.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If interlace-based resource allocation is implemented, then transmission success rate is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission success rateVSAvoidresource allocation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The resource pool is pre-configured with multiple interlaces, each having predetermined resource block patterns and indices. This preliminary structuring allows devices to quickly select and allocate resources without complex real-time calculations, thereby improving transmission success rate while minimizing the increase in system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an interlace index as an intermediary parameter that simplifies resource identification. Instead of directly managing complex resource block assignments, the system uses interlace indices to reference pre-defined resource patterns, reducing the computational complexity while maintaining reliable transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a sidelink resource allocation method and apparatus in an unauthorized spectrum, and a storage medium. The method includes: sending first indication information to a second device, where the first indication information includes resource allocation information, and the resource allocation information is correlated with an interlace included in a resource pool for a sidelink in the unauthorized spectrum. According to the present disclosure, a reliability of a sidelink resource allocation process in the unauthorized spectrum can be effectively improved based on the first indication information, thereby effectively enhancing a transmission success rate of sidelink data packets.
