Solution Overview

Problem

In sidelink communication systems, particularly for NR V2X, there is a need to transmit positioning information to determine the communication range between wireless devices, but existing methods fail to accurately identify the distance between devices, hindering service quality and reliability.

Innovation Solution

A method where a wireless device determines its positioning information, splits it into fast-varying and slow-varying components, and transmits the former via sidelink control information (SCI) and the latter via a data unit on the sidelink shared channel (SL-SCH), allowing efficient communication range determination and service quality support.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If positioning information is transmitted via sidelink control information (SCI), then transmission efficiency is improved, but information completeness deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission efficiencyVSAvoidinformation completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The positioning information is divided into two parts: first positioning information transmitted via SCI (sidelink control information) and second positioning information transmitted via SL-SCH (sidelink shared channel). This segmentation allows critical positioning data to be sent efficiently through control channels while detailed information is transmitted through data channels, resolving the contradiction between transmission efficiency and information completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Loss of information

If positioning information is transmitted via data unit on SL-SCH, then information completeness is improved, but transmission efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidtransmission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The positioning information is divided into two parts: first positioning information transmitted via SCI (sidelink control information) and second positioning information transmitted via SL-SCH (sidelink shared channel). This segmentation allows critical positioning data to be sent efficiently through control channels while detailed information is transmitted through data channels, resolving the contradiction between transmission efficiency and information completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Loss of information

If all positioning information is transmitted together, then information completeness is improved, but communication overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidcommunication overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The positioning information is divided into two parts: first positioning information transmitted via SCI (sidelink control information) and second positioning information transmitted via SL-SCH (sidelink shared channel). This segmentation allows critical positioning data to be sent efficiently through control channels while detailed information is transmitted through data channels, resolving the contradiction between transmission efficiency and information completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transmits different parts of positioning information through different communication dimensions/channels (SCI vs. SL-SCH), utilizing multiple transmission dimensions to deliver complete information while optimizing overhead distribution across different channel types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
