Solution Overview

Problem

Existing sidelink positioning technologies face challenges in determining relevant resources that are not well applied to terminals, failing to meet operator permissions, terminal positioning requirements, and avoiding resource conflicts.

Innovation Solution

A method where a first node determines relevant resources for sidelink positioning based on information received from a second node, including sidelink positioning request and authorization information, ensuring accurate allocation and configuration of resources.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If resources are determined without considering operator permissions and terminal requirements, then resource allocation is simple, but positioning accuracy and resource applicability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation accuracyVSAvoidresource determination complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by having the second node send authorization information and positioning requirements to the first node before resource allocation. The first node determines relevant resources based on this advance information, ensuring that resource allocation meets operator permissions and terminal positioning requirements without increasing operational complexity during the actual positioning process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The first node acts as an intermediary between the second node (which has authorization information) and the terminal (which has positioning requirements). It receives authorization information from the second node, combines it with terminal requirements, and determines appropriate resources, thereby mediating between different constraints to achieve accurate resource allocation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If traditional sidelink positioning resource determination is used, then the process is straightforward, but resource conflicts and poor terminal applicability occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource conflict avoidanceVSAvoidinformation processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback by having the second node send authorization information to the first node, which then determines resources based on this feedback. This feedback mechanism ensures that resource allocation is consistent with operator permissions and terminal requirements, avoiding resource conflicts while maintaining systematic control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

Authorization information and positioning requirements are provided in advance to the first node before resource allocation occurs. This preliminary action allows the system to pre-determine compatible resources that avoid conflicts, rather than resolving conflicts after they occur

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of communications, and specifically relates to a resource determination method and apparatus, a communication device, a communication system, and a storage medium. The resource determination method comprises: on the basis of first information received from a second node, determining related resources of a terminal for sidelink positioning. According to the present disclosure, a first node receives first information from a second node, and further determines, on the basis of the first information, related resources of a terminal for sidelink positioning. In this way, the first node may not autonomously determine related resources of the terminal for sidelink positioning, which is beneficial to ensuring the positioning effect of the terminal based on the resource reference sidelink positioning.
