Solution Overview

Problem

In conventional sidelink mobile communication, there is a lack of effective methods for UE to select resources while minimizing interference from other UEs during sidelink communication.

Innovation Solution

The proposed method involves terminal measuring the signal strength from adjacent terminals, compensating for measurement inaccuracies due to power control, and allocating resources based on valid measurement values to minimize interference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If terminal measures signal strength from adjacent terminal for resource allocation, then resource allocation efficiency is improved, but measurement precision deteriorates due to power control variations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation efficiencyVSAvoidsignal strength measurement accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the measurement parameter from raw signal strength to compensated signal strength by introducing a power control adjustment value. The terminal compensates the measured signal strength of the adjacent terminal using the power control adjustment value to obtain a compensated signal strength value, which accurately reflects the actual received signal level despite power control variations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces direct physical signal strength measurement with a calculated compensated value. Instead of relying solely on raw measurement, the system uses mathematical compensation based on power control adjustment values to derive the effective signal strength, substituting mechanical measurement with computational correction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Device complexity

If terminal uses raw signal strength measurement for resource allocation, then device complexity is reduced, but interference from adjacent terminals increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemeasurement process simplicityVSAvoidinterference from adjacent terminals
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the raw signal strength parameter into a compensated signal strength parameter by applying power control adjustment values. This parameter transformation enables the terminal to account for power control variations, thereby reducing interference from adjacent terminals while maintaining manageable device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of operation

If terminal does not compensate for power control in measurement, then ease of operation is improved, but resource allocation reliability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemeasurement process simplicityVSAvoidresource allocation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a compensated signal strength parameter that incorporates power control adjustment values. This parameter change maintains ease of operation by using existing measurement capabilities while improving reliability through mathematical compensation that accurately reflects the actual received signal level from adjacent terminals.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback by using the power control adjustment value (which represents the difference between target and actual received power) to compensate the measured signal strength. This feedback mechanism ensures that resource allocation decisions are based on accurate signal strength information that accounts for power control variations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

According to one disclosure of the present specification, provided is a method for performing communication with a second UE (user equipment) by a first UE. The method can comprise the steps of: receiving control information from a third UE; receiving a sidelink signal from the third UE; measuring reference signal received power (RSRP) of the sidelink signal on the basis of the control information; calculating effective RSRP on the basis of the control information and the measured RSRP; and allocating a resource for communication with the second UE on the basis of the effective RSRP, wherein the control information can comprise information relating to transmission power of the third UE.
