Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently performing sidelink communication, particularly in generating and transmitting synchronization signals for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) scenarios, which are crucial for reliable and low-latency communications in next-generation radio access technologies.
Innovation Solution
The method involves generating a sidelink synchronization signal block (S-SSB) including sidelink primary synchronization signals (S-PSS), sidelink secondary synchronization signals (S-SSS), and physical sidelink broadcast channel (PSBCH) symbols, with specific configurations to ensure robust detection and decoding performance, and transmitting these signals between user equipment (UEs).

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional synchronization signal generation methods are used in sidelink communication, then device complexity is reduced, but reception performance and synchronization reliability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The synchronization signal is divided into multiple components: primary synchronization signal (S-PSS), secondary synchronization signal (S-SSS), and physical sidelink broadcast channel (PSBCH). Each component carries specific synchronization information, allowing the system to achieve robust synchronization through distributed information rather than a single complex signal.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent configures the S-SSB to be transmitted in advance before actual data communication begins. This preliminary transmission of synchronization signals allows receiving devices to prepare their synchronization mechanisms beforehand, improving overall synchronization reliability without increasing the complexity of real-time signal generation.
2Reliability
If synchronization signal transmission is optimized for reliability, then reception performance improves, but transmission time and latency increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple synchronization functions into a single integrated S-SSB transmission that occurs simultaneously. By merging S-PSS, S-SSS, and PSBCH into one consolidated signal block, the system achieves reliable reception performance without the time penalty of sequential transmissions, thus reducing overall latency.
Solution Approach 2:
The S-SSB is designed to be transmitted continuously at regular intervals rather than intermittently. This continuous transmission ensures that receiving devices can always acquire synchronization information without waiting for periodic updates, improving reception performance while minimizing time loss compared to on-demand transmissions.
3Reliability
If multiple S-PSS symbols are transmitted to enhance detection performance, then reception reliability improves, but signal transmission complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different characteristics to different parts of the synchronization signal. Specifically, multiple S-PSS symbols are transmitted with different cyclic shifts, while S-SSS and PSBCH use standard configurations. This localized differentiation enhances detection performance for the critical S-PSS components without unnecessarily complicating the entire signal structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent modifies specific parameters (cyclic shift values) of the S-PSS symbols to create multiple distinct signal patterns. By changing these parameters rather than fundamentally redesigning the signal structure, the system improves detection performance while keeping the overall signal generation complexity manageable through parameter-based variation rather than structural complexity.
