In wireless communication systems, there is a mismatch in predicting collision risks due to differences in computational and processing capabilities among devices, and existing methods consume excessive battery power and generate unnecessary data traffic when transmitting threat notification messages for collision risks in V2X communication.

Innovation Solution

A method for transmitting threat notification messages using GeoCasting, which includes receiving safety messages from other devices, evaluating collision risks, and generating event information to transmit a threat notification message with identification information and dangerous area details, minimizing data traffic by integrating messages for multiple devices and optimizing battery consumption.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If each device transmits individual threat notification messages for collision risks, then all devices receive complete risk information, but data traffic increases and battery consumption rises

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverisk information completenessVSAvoidbattery consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple individual threat notification messages into a single aggregated message that contains risk information for multiple devices. Instead of each device transmitting separate TNM messages, the system merges these into one consolidated message that covers collision risks for multiple target devices, thereby reducing data traffic and battery consumption while maintaining complete risk information delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If each device transmits individual threat notification messages for collision risks, then all devices receive complete risk information, but data traffic increases

Engineering Contradiction:

3Ease of operation

If devices with different computational capabilities perform collision risk evaluation independently, then each device makes autonomous safety decisions, but prediction accuracy mismatches occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautonomous decision makingVSAvoidrisk prediction accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a base station as an intermediary that performs centralized collision risk evaluation. The base station receives safety messages from multiple devices, performs comprehensive risk assessment using its superior computational capabilities, and generates aggregated threat notification messages. This mediator approach ensures accurate and consistent risk predictions across all devices, resolving the mismatch caused by varying local computational capabilities while preserving autonomous operation through the distributed message transmission mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
