Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently selecting and managing resource pools for sidelink communication, particularly when multiple resource pools are configured within a carrier, leading to increased overhead and potential delays in transmission.

Innovation Solution

A method for wireless communication that involves obtaining configuration information for multiple carriers, performing channel busy ratio (CBR) measurements for resource pools within selected carriers, and selecting carriers based on CBR measurement values below a threshold, thereby determining optimal resource pools for sidelink grant creation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple resource pools are configured within a carrier for sidelink communication, then resource allocation flexibility is improved, but overhead and processing complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation flexibilityVSAvoidoverhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and selects only the necessary resource pool from multiple configured resource pools within a carrier. By identifying and working with a single selected resource pool rather than managing all configured pools, the system reduces overhead and processing complexity while maintaining the flexibility to allocate resources effectively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The selected resource pool serves multiple functions: it is used for CBR measurement, carrier selection, and sidelink grant creation. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for separate processing of resource pools for different purposes, thereby reducing overall system overhead while maintaining adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If CBR measurement is performed for multiple resource pools, then transmission reliability is improved, but measurement time and processing delay increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission reliabilityVSAvoidmeasurement time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs CBR measurement for a resource pool in advance as part of the carrier selection process. By completing the measurement before the actual transmission occurs, the system ensures transmission reliability through accurate channel assessment while avoiding delays during the transmission phase itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines the CBR measurement process with the carrier selection process into a single integrated operation. Instead of performing measurements separately for multiple resource pools, the system measures CBR for resource pools while simultaneously determining carrier selection, thereby reducing total measurement time while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Productivity

If multiple carriers are configured and managed, then network capacity is improved, but resource management complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork capacityVSAvoidresource management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the resource management task by selecting a single resource pool from among multiple carriers for specific operations. Instead of managing all carriers and their resource pools uniformly, the system divides the management process into carrier-level selection and resource-pool-level execution, reducing overall management complexity while maintaining the ability to utilize multiple carriers for increased capacity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
