Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems face challenges in preventing resource collision between user equipment (UEs) operating with different sidelink transmission modes, leading to potential latency issues in signal transmission and reception.

Innovation Solution

A method where a base station transmits control information to UEs, including backoff values and candidate resource sets, to prevent resource collision, allowing UEs to select transmission resources based on this information and communicate effectively, even when they support different sidelink transmission modes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If UEs autonomously select transmission resources without network assistance, then device complexity and signaling overhead are reduced, but resource collision between UEs with different transmission modes increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveUE resource selection complexityVSAvoidresource collision prevention
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The base station acts as an intermediary by providing control information including backoff values and candidate resource sets to UEs. This mediator approach allows UEs to autonomously select resources while the network guides the selection process to prevent collisions between UEs with different transmission modes, resolving the contradiction between autonomous operation and collision prevention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If the base station provides detailed control information to prevent resource collision, then resource collision prevention improves, but signaling overhead and network complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource collision preventionVSAvoidsignaling overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The control information is segmented into essential components (backoff values and candidate resource sets) that are transmitted to UEs. This segmentation allows the network to provide sufficient guidance for collision prevention while minimizing signaling overhead by only transmitting the most critical resource allocation parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If UEs with different sidelink transmission modes operate in the same cell, then system versatility and adaptability improve, but resource collision and latency issues worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-mode UE supportVSAvoidtransmission latency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Different backoff values and resource allocation strategies are applied locally to UEs based on their specific transmission modes. The base station provides mode-specific control information that tailors resource selection to each UE's characteristics, allowing diverse transmission modes to coexist without causing collisions or latency issues.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
