Solution Overview

Problem

There is a lack of definitive methods for selecting and reselecting resources for transmitting sidelink positioning reference signals (SL PRS) in sidelink communication, which affects the accuracy of SL positioning.

Innovation Solution

A sidelink communication method that includes triggering a check procedure when preset conditions are met to determine the selection or reselection of resources for SL PRS transmission, involving autonomous resource allocation, checking for conditions such as DRX activation times, resource pool reconfiguration, and meeting transmission requirements.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If autonomous resource allocation mode is used for SL PRS transmission, then resource selection flexibility is improved, but resource selection accuracy deteriorates due to lack of check procedure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource selection flexibilityVSAvoidresource selection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a check procedure that provides feedback on resource selection accuracy. The check procedure evaluates whether the selected resource meets transmission requirements and triggers reselection if necessary, creating a closed-loop feedback mechanism that improves measurement precision while maintaining autonomous allocation flexibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The check procedure is performed in advance before finalizing resource selection. By conducting preliminary checks on transmission requirements, resource pool configuration, and timing conditions, the system ensures accurate resource selection is achieved before autonomous allocation occurs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If check procedure is performed frequently to ensure transmission requirements are met, then resource selection accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource selection accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The check procedure is designed to be dynamic rather than static. It automatically adjusts its execution based on changing conditions such as resource pool reconfiguration, DRX activation time changes, and transmission requirement variations. This dynamic approach maintains high accuracy while reducing unnecessary checks in stable conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system monitors changes in key parameters including resource pool configuration, timing parameters, and transmission requirements. When parameter changes occur, the check procedure is triggered accordingly. This parameter-driven approach ensures accurate resource selection without performing unnecessary checks during stable conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If resource pool is reconfigured to meet changing transmission requirements, then adaptability is improved, but resource selection stability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission requirement complianceVSAvoidresource selection stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The check procedure performs preliminary verification when resource pool reconfiguration occurs. By checking whether the reconfigured resource pool still satisfies transmission requirements before finalizing resource selection, the system maintains stability while enabling adaptability to changing conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
