Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in managing consistent SL LBT (Listen Before Talk) failures, which disrupt sidelink communication and hinder efficient resource allocation in vehicular networks, particularly in unlicensed bands.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for performing wireless communication that involves obtaining information related to a resource pool, conducting channel sensing for a resource block set within the pool, and performing resource pool reselection when the channel sensing is busy for a threshold number of times, ensuring efficient resource allocation and recovery from SL LBT failures.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If channel sensing is performed continuously to ensure reliable resource allocation, then communication reliability is improved, but device complexity and operational burden increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the UE monitors LBT failure counts and uses this information to dynamically adjust resource pool selection. When LBT failures exceed a threshold, the system feeds back to select alternative resource pools, creating a closed-loop control system that improves reliability without requiring continuous complex sensing operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of resource pool selection based on LBT failure conditions. By transitioning from a static resource pool configuration to a dynamic one that adapts based on channel access success/failure parameters, the system achieves improved reliability while simplifying the sensing requirement to a binary success/failure determination rather than continuous analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If resource pool reselection is implemented to recover from LBT failures, then communication reliability is improved, but loss of time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidtime loss
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring multiple resource pools with different characteristics before LBT failures occur. This allows the system to quickly switch between pre-prepared options when failures are detected, avoiding the need for time-consuming real-time resource pool selection and reducing overall recovery time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a streamlined recovery process that skips unnecessary intermediate steps. When LBT failures are detected, the system directly transitions to selecting an alternative resource pool based on pre-established criteria, bypassing complex real-time analysis and accelerating the recovery process to minimize time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #21Skipping (Rushing through)

3Reliability

If LBT failure recovery mechanism is added to maintain communication integrity, then communication reliability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service by enabling the UE to autonomously monitor LBT outcomes, detect failures, and execute resource pool reselection without external intervention. The system automatically manages its own recovery process using built-in counters and decision logic, maintaining reliability while requiring minimal operational complexity from the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

Proposed is an operation method of a first device (100) in a wireless communication system. The method may comprise the steps of: acquiring information related to a first resource pool; carrying out first channel sensing for a first resource block (RB) set in the first resource pool; and carrying out resource pool reselection on the basis that the result of the first channel sensing is BUSY a threshold number of times.
