Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems, particularly in the context of 5G, face challenges in efficiently managing sidelink communications for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) scenarios, where ensuring low latency and high reliability is crucial for safety services like basic safety messages, cooperative awareness messages, and decentralized environmental notifications, while also optimizing resource allocation and interference mitigation.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for transmitting sidelink signals in a wireless communication system, where user equipment transmits first and second sidelink signals on a sidelink channel with different parameters based on interference from adjacent channels, adjusting transmission rate, power, data size, backoff time, and priority to optimize service-specific requirements.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If transmission parameters are kept fixed for simplicity, then device complexity is reduced, but reliability deteriorates due to inability to adapt to interference conditions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesidelink communication reliabilityVSAvoidparameter management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic parameter adjustment by monitoring interference conditions on adjacent channels and adapting transmission parameters (power, rate, time resources) accordingly. This transforms the static parameter configuration into a dynamic system that responds to changing channel conditions, thereby improving reliability without requiring complex manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs feedback mechanisms where transmission parameters are adjusted based on measured interference conditions from adjacent channels. The UE monitors channel state information and uses this feedback to adaptively modify transmission power, coding rate, and resource allocation, creating a closed-loop control system that enhances reliability while maintaining manageable complexity through automated decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If transmission power is increased to overcome interference, then signal reliability is improved, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal reception reliabilityVSAvoidtransmission energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of always increasing transmission power, the patent changes multiple transmission parameters adaptively based on interference conditions. When adjacent channel interference is detected, the system adjusts coding rate, modulation scheme, time resource allocation, and power level in combination, rather than relying solely on power increase. This multi-parameter adaptation achieves reliable communication while optimizing energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The transmission power is made dynamic rather than static, adjusting only when necessary based on real-time interference measurements. The system transitions from a fixed power configuration to a dynamic power control mechanism that responds to channel conditions, reducing unnecessary energy consumption while maintaining reliability when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Productivity

If resource allocation is optimized for specific services, then service performance is improved, but system complexity increases due to multiple parameter sets

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice transmission efficiencyVSAvoidresource management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different parameter configurations tailored to specific service requirements (e.g., safety messages vs. other V2X services). Each service type receives optimized parameters locally adapted to its needs, such as different priority levels, time resources, or power allocations. This local quality approach improves service-specific performance while the overall system manages complexity through service-based categorization rather than individual parameter management for each transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

4Reliability

If interference mitigation measures are implemented, then communication reliability is improved, but transmission latency increases due to additional processing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterference-resistant communicationVSAvoidtransmission latency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary monitoring of adjacent channel interference conditions before transmission decisions are made. By proactively detecting interference patterns and pre-adapting transmission parameters, the system avoids last-minute processing delays. This preliminary action allows the UE to prepare appropriate parameter sets in advance, reducing latency while maintaining interference mitigation effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

When interference conditions are detected, the system rapidly adjusts parameters and proceeds with transmission without excessive processing delays. The patent implements efficient decision-making mechanisms that skip unnecessary processing steps, allowing quick adaptation to interference conditions and maintaining low latency while achieving reliable communication through parameter optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #21Skipping (Rushing through)
