Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The increasing demand for mobile broadband communication and V2X services requires efficient resource management in sidelink communication to address the overhead of base stations and ensure reliable, low-latency data transmission.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for selecting a resource pool for sidelink positioning reference signal (PRS) transmission by measuring the channel busy ratio (CBR) and using a CBR threshold to optimize SL PRS transmission, involving a first device with a transceiver, processor, and memory for executing instructions related to resource pool selection and transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If resource pool selection is performed without CBR measurement, then resource allocation is simple and fast, but transmission reliability deteriorates due to channel congestion
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs CBR measurement in advance before resource pool selection. The UE measures SL RSSI over a CBR measurement window and determines the CBR value before selecting the resource pool for SL PRS transmission. This preliminary measurement ensures that resource selection is based on accurate channel conditions, improving transmission reliability while maintaining a manageable selection process through predefined thresholds.
2Measurement precision
If CBR measurement window is extended, then measurement precision improves, but time delay increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent defines the CBR measurement window as a specific duration (e.g., 100ms) and establishes threshold values for CBR (e.g., 0.68 for vehicle-to-x, 0.82 for pedestrian-to-x). By adjusting these parameters based on service type and channel conditions, the system optimizes the balance between measurement precision and time delay, ensuring reliable resource selection without excessive latency.
3Productivity
If resource pool selection threshold is lowered, then resource allocation efficiency improves, but transmission reliability worsens due to selecting congested resources
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the UE measures SL RSSI, calculates CBR, and compares it against predefined thresholds to select appropriate resource pools. This closed-loop approach ensures that resource selection adapts to current channel conditions, allocating resources efficiently when CBR is low while avoiding congested resources when CBR is high, thus maintaining both efficiency and reliability.

AI summary
Provided are a method for a first device to perform wireless communication and a device supporting same. The method may comprise the steps of: acquiring information related to a resource pool for sidelink (SL) positioning reference signal (PRS) transmission; measuring an SL received signal strength indicator (RSSI) for the resource pool across a channel busy ratio (CBR) measurement window; acquiring an SL CBR on the basis of the measurement; selecting the resource pool on the basis that the SL CBR is smaller than a CBR threshold; and performing the SL PRS transmission on the basis of the resource pool.
