Solution Overview

Problem

In wireless communication systems, particularly in V2X communication, there is a challenge in determining suitable subframes for sidelink transmission that are not interfered with by sidelink synchronization signals or downlink/subspecial subframes, which affects the reliability and efficiency of vehicle-to-everything communication.

Innovation Solution

A method is proposed to determine sidelink subframes by excluding subframes with configured sidelink synchronization signals and downlink/special subframes, and reserving specific subframes for sidelink transmission, ensuring that these reserved subframes are evenly distributed across the total subframe range to avoid interference and ensure periodic V2X communication.

1Reliability

If subframes are excluded for SLSS resources and downlink/special subframes, then interference is avoided, but the number of available sidelink subframes is reduced

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and excludes specific subframes (those containing SLSS resources and downlink/special subframes) from the total set of subframes to prevent interference. This is achieved by determining the number of excluded subframes and calculating the remaining available subframes for sidelink transmission, thereby ensuring reliable communication while maintaining adequate resource availability.

2Manufacturing precision

If reserved subframes are configured to avoid ambiguity in indexing, then subframe allocation clarity is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring reserved subframes before sidelink transmission occurs. The network device determines the number of reserved subframes based on the total subframes and excluded subframes, then allocates these reserved subframes in advance to UEs. This pre-allocation approach ensures precise subframe indexing and avoids ambiguity during actual transmission, while the systematic calculation method keeps the configuration process manageable.
