Innovation Solution

A method for selecting resources in sidelink communication that involves determining time units satisfying specific sensing conditions, allowing devices to selectively perform channel sensing based on thresholds and priorities, thereby reducing unnecessary power consumption.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If aperiodic resource reservation is implemented in sidelink communication, then resource allocation flexibility is improved, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation flexibilityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of sensing performance requirements based on service types. Different QoS parameters (priority, packet delay budget, reliability) are mapped to different sensing performance levels, allowing the system to adjust sensing intensity dynamically rather than maintaining high sensing performance for all services, thus reducing power consumption while maintaining flexibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic adjustment of sensing performance requirements according to service characteristics. The sensing configuration is not static but adapts to different service types and QoS requirements, enabling the system to optimize power consumption based on actual communication needs while maintaining resource allocation flexibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If channel sensing is performed frequently to ensure reliable resource selection, then communication reliability is improved, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent maps QoS parameters to sensing performance requirements, allowing the system to adjust sensing intensity based on actual communication needs. For services with lower reliability requirements, sensing can be performed less frequently, reducing power consumption while maintaining adequate communication reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial sensing action by performing sensing at different intensities based on service requirements. Not all services require full sensing performance, so the system performs only the necessary amount of sensing needed to achieve the required reliability level, avoiding excessive power consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Reliability

If resource selection window is extended to provide more candidate resources, then resource selection reliability is improved, but communication delay increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource selection reliabilityVSAvoidcommunication delay
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent adjusts the resource selection window size based on QoS parameters and service types. For services with strict delay requirements, the window size is optimized to provide sufficient candidate resources without extending the selection time too long, thus balancing reliability and delay

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic adjustment of resource selection window parameters according to service characteristics and channel conditions. The window size is not fixed but adapts to different scenarios, allowing the system to optimize both resource selection reliability and communication delay based on actual needs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
