Solution Overview

Problem

Current sidelink communication methods in wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently managing resource pools and configuring modulation and coding schemes for reliable and low-latency Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications, particularly in scenarios like vehicle platooning, advanced driving, and remote driving, where precise data exchange is critical.

Innovation Solution

The method involves determining a sidelink resource pool and transmitting modulation and coding scheme (MCS) information through sidelink control information on a physical sidelink control channel, with an MCS table configured for each resource pool, enabling efficient sidelink communication between user equipment (UEs).

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a single MCS table is used for all resource pools, then device complexity is reduced, but communication reliability deteriorates due to inability to optimize for different service requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidMCS table configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the single MCS table into multiple resource pool-specific MCS tables. Each resource pool has its own MCS table configured according to specific service requirements (e.g., V2X, enhanced mobile broadband). This segmentation allows optimized MCS selection for different service types while maintaining independent configuration for each resource pool, resolving the contradiction between reliability and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic MCS table selection based on service type and resource pool configuration. The system can dynamically switch between different MCS tables depending on the active service and resource pool, enabling adaptive optimization for varying communication requirements without requiring all tables to be simultaneously active, thus managing complexity while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If resource allocation is optimized for specific services, then service performance is improved, but system complexity increases due to multiple configuration parameters

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice performanceVSAvoidconfiguration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by configuring MCS tables with specific characteristics tailored to each resource pool's service requirements. For example, V2X resource pools use MCS tables optimized for low latency and high reliability, while eMBB pools use tables optimized for high throughput. This localized optimization improves service performance without requiring global reconfiguration of the entire system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes key parameters such as modulation order and coding rate in MCS tables based on service requirements. By adjusting these parameters differently for each resource pool, the system achieves service-specific optimization while maintaining a structured configuration framework that manages complexity through parameterization rather than structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If MCS information is transmitted for each resource pool, then communication efficiency is improved, but signaling overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication efficiencyVSAvoidsignaling overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary configuration of MCS tables for each resource pool before actual data transmission. The MCS table indices and configurations are predetermined and stored in the UE, allowing rapid selection during transmission without requiring extensive real-time signaling. This preliminary action reduces signaling overhead while maintaining communication efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses MCS table indices as compact representations of full MCS configurations. Instead of transmitting complete MCS parameter sets, the system transmits concise index values that reference pre-configured tables, significantly reducing signaling overhead while preserving full communication efficiency through the copied configuration data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
