Solution Overview

Problem

Existing V2X communication systems face challenges in ensuring transmission quality due to the incompatibility of R14 and R15 LTE V2X terminal devices, as the core network cannot dynamically adjust tx profiles based on real-time sidelink status, leading to suboptimal transmission quality for services requiring compatibility across all devices.

Innovation Solution

A radio access network device obtains configuration information to dynamically adjust tx profiles based on real-time sidelink status, generating indication information to guide terminal devices on optimal transmission modes, including technology type, air interface, and radio access technology, thereby enhancing transmission quality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the core network device uses static tx profile configuration, then device compatibility is improved, but transmission quality deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice compatibilityVSAvoidtransmission quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces dynamic tx profile adjustment by enabling the radio access network device to sense real-time sidelink status and generate indication information that dynamically configures transmission parameters. This transforms the static configuration into a dynamic system that adapts to changing channel conditions, resolving the contradiction between static compatibility and dynamic transmission quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the radio access network device senses the sidelink status and provides indication information back to terminal devices. This feedback loop enables the system to adjust tx profiles based on real-time conditions, allowing both device compatibility and transmission quality to be maintained through continuous adaptation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If the core network device determines tx profile, then service-level configuration is improved, but real-time sidelink adaptation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice-level configurationVSAvoidreal-time adaptation capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the configuration function between the core network device and the radio access network device. The core network device determines service-level tx profiles while the radio access network device handles real-time adjustments based on sidelink status. This segmentation allows both service-level configuration and real-time adaptation to coexist effectively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The radio access network device acts as an intermediary between the core network device and terminal devices. It receives service-level configuration from the core network, senses real-time sidelink conditions, and generates indication information that combines both service requirements and current channel status, enabling real-time adaptation without losing service-level configuration benefits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If R15 physical layer features are used, then transmission efficiency is improved, but compatibility with R14 devices deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission efficiencyVSAvoidcross-version compatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses parameter changes to resolve the contradiction between R15 transmission efficiency and R14 compatibility. The radio access network device generates indication information that dynamically adjusts transmission parameters (such as MCS table selection, rate matching configuration) based on the capabilities of receiving devices. This allows R15 features to be used when appropriate while maintaining compatibility with R14 devices through parameter adaptation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
