Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems face inefficiencies in resource utilization and interference management, particularly in sidelink communication scenarios, especially with the introduction of full duplex operations which require complex resource pool management and sensing-based resource selection.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a method that configures multiple sidelink resource pools within a Bandwidth Part (BWP) or carrier, allowing for separate frequency subsets for transmission and reception, and employing sensing-based resource re-selection to optimize resource allocation and minimize interference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If sensing-based resource selection is performed in all frequency regions, then resource allocation accuracy is improved, but device complexity and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation accuracyVSAvoidsensing processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The frequency domain is divided into multiple frequency regions, and the sensing window is divided into multiple time intervals. The device performs sensing in only the second frequency region during the first time interval, rather than sensing across all frequency regions. This segmentation reduces the sensing scope and processing complexity while maintaining accurate resource allocation in the active frequency region.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of performing complete sensing across the entire frequency range, the device performs partial sensing only in the second frequency region where transmission will occur. This partial action approach reduces unnecessary sensing operations in the first frequency region while still ensuring accurate resource selection in the active region.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

2Object-affected harmful factors

If all candidate sidelink resources are excluded in response to non-monitoring, then interference is reduced, but resource utilization efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The exclusion of candidate resources is applied locally only to the first frequency region where non-monitoring occurred, rather than excluding all candidate resources globally. This localized exclusion maintains interference protection in the affected region while preserving resource availability in the second frequency region where monitoring was performed and resources were successfully selected.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Productivity

If full duplex operation is implemented, then system capacity is improved, but resource pool management complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem capacityVSAvoidresource pool management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The resource pool is segmented into multiple frequency regions (first frequency region and second frequency region), and the sensing window is segmented into multiple time intervals. This segmentation allows the device to manage full duplex operations by independently controlling resource selection in different frequency regions, reducing the complexity of coordinating transmission and reception resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The device dynamically adjusts its sensing and resource selection behavior based on the configured frequency regions and time intervals. By performing sensing only in the second frequency region during the first time interval, and excluding resources only in the first frequency region, the device adapts its resource pool management to enable full duplex operation with reduced complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
