Solution Overview

Problem

Current technologies lack specific details and effective methods for reporting Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP) for sidelink transmission, which is essential for estimating path losses and adjusting transmitting powers in wireless communication systems.

Innovation Solution

A method where user equipment (UE) receives and measures a reference signal to determine the RSRP, and then transmits attribute information including geographic and type information related to the RSRP to another UE, enabling accurate path loss estimation and power adjustments for sidelink transmissions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If RSRP reporting for sidelink transmission is implemented, then path loss estimation accuracy is improved, but specific reporting details and methods are still insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepath loss estimation accuracyVSAvoidreporting details completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The RSRP reporting mechanism is segmented into multiple components: RSRP measurement values, geographic information (location coordinates), and type information (reference signal type, transmission type). This segmentation allows each component to be reported separately, ensuring complete and structured information transmission for accurate path loss estimation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds geographic dimension (location information) and classification dimension (type information) to the traditional RSRP reporting. By incorporating location coordinates and signal type identifiers, the reporting moves from a single-dimensional power value to a multi-dimensional information structure, enabling more precise path loss estimation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Measurement precision

If RSRP measurement and reporting is performed, then sidelink path loss can be estimated, but interference control and power efficiency are not optimized

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesidelink path loss estimationVSAvoidinterference control effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where receiving UEs measure RSRP of reference signals from transmitting UEs, calculate path loss, and report this information back to the transmitting UEs. This feedback loop enables dynamic power adjustment and effective interference control in sidelink transmissions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes multiple parameters including RSRP measurement values, geographic location information, and type information to dynamically adjust power control parameters. By changing and optimizing these parameters based on reported data, the system achieves improved interference control and power efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Loss of information

If attribute information including geographic and type information is transmitted with RSRP, then reporting completeness is improved, but communication overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveRSRP reporting completenessVSAvoidcommunication overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent designs a universal reporting structure that can carry multiple types of information (RSRP values, geographic coordinates, type identifiers) in a standardized format. This multi-functional message structure reduces the need for separate communication channels and minimizes overall overhead while ensuring complete information transmission.

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

AI summary

The present application relates to user equipment and a method for reporting reference signal receiving power (RSRP). A user equipment transmits a reference signal to another user equipment. After receiving the reference signal, another user equipment measures the reference signal for determining an RSRP. Another user equipment then transmits the RSRP and an attribute information corresponding to the RSRP to the user equipment. The user equipment receives the RSRP and the attribute information. The attribute information includes a geographic information, a type information of the RSRP, or a combination of the geographic information and the type information.
