Solution Overview

Problem

Existing sidelink communication systems face challenges in optimizing transmission resources, particularly in millimeter wave bands, which affect resource selection and can lead to reduced transmission speed and volume due to the use of analog beamforming and limited beam management in high-frequency systems.

Innovation Solution

The method involves determining sidelink transmission resources based on spatial domain transmission filters, such as beams, to adapt resource allocation to the beam characteristics, ensuring efficient use of millimeter wave bands and improving transmission speed and volume.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If millimeter wave band is used to improve transmission rate, then transmission speed increases, but resource selection becomes more difficult due to beamforming requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission speedVSAvoidresource selection complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter basis for resource selection from traditional random or round-robin selection to selection based on spatial domain transmission filter parameters (beam parameters). This allows the terminal to select resources adapted to the current beam configuration, resolving the contradiction by making resource selection dependent on transmission characteristics rather than being arbitrary or sequential.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary determination of beam parameters (spatial domain transmission filter parameters) before resource selection. By pre-establishing the beam configuration and its associated parameters, the terminal can then efficiently select resources that match the beam characteristics, avoiding complex real-time optimization during resource selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If analog beamforming is used in millimeter wave systems, then transmission directionality improves, but transmission volume decreases due to limited beam management

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission directionalityVSAvoidtransmission volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables dynamic resource selection based on beam parameters, allowing the system to adaptively choose different time-frequency resources corresponding to different beam configurations. This dynamic approach allows the system to maintain directional precision while increasing transmission volume by utilizing multiple beam-adapted resources rather than being constrained to a single beam pattern.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a new dimension to resource selection by incorporating spatial domain parameters (beam parameters) into the resource selection criterion. Instead of selecting resources only in time and frequency dimensions, the system now selects resources that are matched to specific spatial beam configurations, effectively adding a spatial matching dimension that resolves the trade-off between directionality and volume.

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