Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication technologies, particularly in the context of 5G and V2X services, face challenges in providing high-reliability and high-speed data transmission for autonomous vehicles, especially in scenarios like platooning, where efficient sidelink communication methods are needed to support diverse driving scenarios.

Innovation Solution

The method involves a transmitting terminal receiving information about DMRS patterns and resource sets from a base station, selecting a sidelink resource, and transmitting a PSCCH and PSSCH in a single slot using the selected resource, while a receiving terminal receives the PSCCH and reviews scheduling information to decode the DMRS pattern for accurate data reception.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If sidelink communication resources are allocated dynamically for each transmission, then data transmission reliability is improved, but resource allocation complexity and signaling overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission reliabilityVSAvoidresource allocation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The base station pre-configures multiple resource pools and DMRS patterns before sidelink communication begins. Terminals select from these pre-defined options rather than negotiating resources in real-time, reducing signaling overhead while maintaining reliable communication through structured resource allocation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system varies DMRS pattern parameters (time-domain positions, frequency-domain densities) and resource allocation parameters across different transmission scenarios. This allows adaptation to varying channel conditions and service requirements without requiring complete reconfiguration, balancing reliability and complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple DMRS patterns are supported for different channel conditions, then communication adaptability is improved, but signal processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication adaptabilityVSAvoidsignal processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent defines multiple DMRS patterns with different time-domain positions and frequency-domain densities that can be selected based on channel conditions, vehicle speed, and service type. This parameter-based approach enables adaptability while keeping each individual pattern relatively simple to process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically selects appropriate DMRS patterns based on current communication conditions such as channel quality, mobility state, and traffic type. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to optimize performance for varying scenarios without requiring all patterns to be simultaneously processed, managing complexity through selective activation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Productivity

If PSCCH and PSSCH are transmitted in the same slot, then transmission efficiency is improved, but interference management difficulty increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission efficiencyVSAvoidinterference management difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent separates PSCCH and PSSCH transmissions within the same slot by allocating them to different frequency resources and time positions. This segmentation allows both channels to coexist in the same slot without mutual interference, maintaining high transmission efficiency while simplifying interference management through spatial and temporal separation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different DMRS patterns are applied specifically to PSSCH transmissions depending on their position and frequency allocation within the slot. This localized approach optimizes demodulation performance for each channel type in its specific context without requiring complex system-wide interference coordination

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
