Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems face challenges in establishing efficient sidelink connections for V2X communication, particularly in emergency situations where rapid data exchange is critical, due to the need for Layer-2 ID association before transmission, which can introduce latency and hinder timely emergency data transfer.

Innovation Solution

The proposed solution involves transmitting emergency data within a direct request or response message during the connection establishment process, allowing for immediate data transfer without prior Layer-2 ID association, and using pre-configured Layer-2 IDs for sidelink communication to facilitate rapid connection setup.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If Layer-2 ID association is required before data transmission, then connection reliability is improved, but transmission latency increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection reliabilityVSAvoidtransmission latency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring Layer-2 IDs for sidelink communication before actual data transmission occurs. This allows the connection establishment to be prepared in advance, enabling faster data exchange during emergency situations without requiring real-time ID association, thus reducing latency while maintaining connection reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the connection establishment process into separate phases: pre-configuration of Layer-2 IDs and actual data transmission. This segmentation allows the reliability aspect (Layer-2 ID association) to be handled separately from the timing-critical data transmission, enabling both reliable connections and low latency by decoupling these functions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Stability of the object's composition

If traditional connection establishment procedure is used, then connection stability is improved, but data transmission speed decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection stabilityVSAvoiddata transmission speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses preliminary action by pre-establishing Layer-2 ID configurations and communication parameters before actual data transmission. This preparation maintains connection stability through proper ID association while enabling rapid data exchange during emergency situations, thus improving data transmission speed without sacrificing connection stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies dynamics by making the connection establishment process adaptable - the pre-configuration of Layer-2 IDs allows the system to quickly transition from connection setup to data transmission based on emergency situation requirements, enabling dynamic adjustment between stability and speed according to operational needs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
