Solution Overview

Problem

In resource allocation mode 2 for NR sidelink communication, there is no effective method to determine whether a reserved resource has been preempted by another terminal, leading to potential transmission collisions or interference.

Innovation Solution

A re-evaluation mechanism is implemented at a first time point to assess target resources, including reserved resources at a second time point and periodic resources within a resource period, to identify preemption and facilitate resource reselection, thereby avoiding transmission collisions or interference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If resource allocation mode 2 is used for autonomous resource selection, then terminal autonomy and flexibility are improved, but transmission reliability deteriorates due to inability to detect preemption

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveterminal autonomyVSAvoidtransmission reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal performs re-evaluation of reserved resources at a first time point before the second time point when resource reservation information is sent. This preliminary action allows the terminal to detect preemption early and perform resource reselection in advance, preventing transmission collisions while maintaining autonomous operation mode 2

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the terminal monitors and evaluates its reserved resources by detecting preemption indicators from other terminals. This feedback loop enables the terminal to identify preempted resources and trigger resource reselection, thereby maintaining transmission reliability in autonomous mode 2 operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If resource reselection is performed to avoid transmission collision, then transmission reliability is improved, but time loss increases due to resource re-evaluation and reselection processes

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

Solution Approach 1:

Resource re-evaluation is performed at a first time point before the second time point, allowing early detection of preemption. This timing arrangement enables the terminal to initiate resource reselection in advance, avoiding last-minute conflicts and reducing the actual time loss during transmission

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic resource management where the terminal continuously monitors resource status and adaptively performs reselection only when preemption is detected. This dynamic approach avoids unnecessary reselection operations, reducing time loss while maintaining reliability when actually needed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
