Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If current V2X communication methods are used, then the system is simple and easy to operate, but the reliability and communication range requirements cannot be ensured

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the communication system into multiple logical channels with different attributes (priority, reliability requirement, communication range requirement). Each logical channel is independently configured and managed, allowing the system to meet diverse reliability requirements through channel differentiation without requiring complete system redesign.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic resource allocation where the network device configures logical channel attributes based on real-time communication requirements. The system can dynamically adjust priority levels, reliability parameters, and communication range settings for different logical channels, enabling adaptive response to varying V2X communication demands while maintaining operational simplicity through centralized management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Length of stationary object

If current V2X communication methods are used, then the system configuration is simple, but the communication range requirement cannot be ensured

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication rangeVSAvoidconfiguration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the communication system into multiple logical channels, each with independently configured communication range requirements. This segmentation allows different parts of the system to operate at different range levels based on specific needs, enabling extended communication range for critical applications without requiring all system components to be reconfigured for maximum range.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by configuring specific logical channels with enhanced communication range parameters based on their particular requirements. Instead of uniformly increasing range across the entire system, the network device selectively configures range attributes for specific logical channels that require extended coverage, optimizing resource usage while meeting localized range demands.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If multiple logical channels with different attributes are configured, then the reliability and communication range can be ensured, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidchannel configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal logical channel configuration framework that can handle multiple reliability and communication range requirements through a standardized attribute system. The network device uses a unified configuration approach that applies to all logical channels, defining attributes such as priority, reliability requirement, and communication range requirement in a consistent manner. This multi-functional configuration system can accommodate diverse V2X communication needs while maintaining manageable complexity through standardization.

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

AI summary

This application provides a communication method and apparatus, to help ensure a transmission reliability and/or communication range requirement. When configuring a transmission resource of a sidelink for a terminal, a network device also configures attribute information of the transmission resource. The attribute information may indicate reliability and/or a communication range corresponding to the transmission resource. The terminal device may select a matched logical channel for the transmission resource based on the attribute information of the transmission resource and attribute information of each logical channel of the terminal device. The attribute information of the logical channel is used to indicate reliability and/or a communication range of the logical channel.
