Solution Overview

Problem

In dense user equipment (UE) environments, existing wireless communication systems face challenges in ensuring user safety while minimizing unnecessary redundant message transmission and power consumption, particularly in sidelink communication scenarios like V2X, where communication traffic and power consumption are high due to frequent message transmissions.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for determining whether to transmit a message based on clustering, where a UE obtains state information, receives a first message, and decides to transmit a second message based on geographic area and collision risk information included in the first message, optimizing transmission to avoid redundant messages and conserve power.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a UE transmits messages frequently in dense environments to ensure user safety, then reliability is improved, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser safetyVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The UE receives feedback information from the network indicating whether it should transmit a second message, and makes transmission decisions based on this feedback. This feedback mechanism allows the system to optimize message transmission based on actual network conditions and safety requirements, reducing unnecessary transmissions while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The transmission behavior is dynamically adjusted by changing the parameter of message transmission based on received feedback information. When feedback indicates that a second message should be transmitted, the UE transmits; otherwise, it refrains from transmission. This dynamic parameter adjustment optimizes the balance between reliability and power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If a UE transmits messages frequently in dense environments to ensure user safety, then reliability is improved, but communication traffic increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser safetyVSAvoidcommunication traffic
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The UE utilizes feedback information from the network to determine whether second message transmission is necessary. This feedback-driven approach reduces redundant message transmissions in dense environments while ensuring that safety-critical messages are transmitted, thereby optimizing the balance between reliability and communication traffic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If a UE transmits messages frequently in dense environments to ensure user safety, then reliability is improved, but unnecessary redundant message transmission increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser safetyVSAvoidunnecessary redundant message transmission
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The network provides feedback information to the UE indicating whether a second message should be transmitted. The UE makes transmission decisions based on this feedback, which eliminates unnecessary redundant transmissions while maintaining reliability for safety-critical communications. This feedback mechanism optimizes resource utilization by preventing duplicate message transmissions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
