Solution Overview

Problem

In wireless communication systems, particularly in V2X networks, there is a challenge in maintaining robust control and feedback transmissions due to potential interference from colliding control messages, which can lead to network performance deterioration as devices may start transmitting during ongoing data transmissions, causing interference and further network degradation.

Innovation Solution

A transmission/reception scheme is implemented where a control message is split into two portions: the first portion contains information for interference avoidance, and the second portion includes additional information for decoding user data. This scheme uses different coding rates and multiple access signatures to ensure reliable interference avoidance and data decoding, allowing receiving devices to defer their transmissions until the indicated resources are available.

1Reliability

If control messages are transmitted without segmentation, then transmission simplicity is maintained, but reliability of control information deteriorates due to potential interference from colliding messages

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereliability of control informationVSAvoidcomplexity of transmission scheme
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The control message is divided into two portions: a first portion containing resource allocation information for the second portion, and a second portion containing data decoding information. This segmentation allows the first portion to be decoded and acted upon independently, enabling receiving devices to determine resource allocations and avoid collisions before the second portion is received, thereby improving reliability while managing complexity through structured division

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The first portion of the control message is transmitted and decoded before the second portion, allowing receiving devices to perform preliminary actions such as determining resource allocations and preparing for data reception in advance. This preliminary decoding enables devices to avoid collisions and manage resources proactively, improving the reliability of control information delivery

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If control messages are transmitted with higher coding rates, then data transmission speed is improved, but robustness against interference deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission speedVSAvoidrobustness against interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

Different coding rates are applied to different portions of the control message based on their specific requirements. The first portion, which contains critical resource allocation information, uses a more robust coding scheme to ensure reliable decoding for collision avoidance. The second portion, containing data decoding information, can use a higher coding rate for faster transmission. This localized differentiation of coding quality optimizes both speed and robustness where needed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

Aspects of the disclosure relate to methods for wireless communication. A transmitting device transmits a first portion of a control message to a receiving device. The first portion includes information for decoding a second portion of the control message and for decoding data. The transmitting device then transmits the second portion to the receiving device, the second portion including additional information for decoding the data. Thereafter, the first device transmits the data to the receiving device. The receiving device receives the first portion and the second portion, and decodes the received second portion based on the information included in the first portion. The receiving device then receives the data from the second device if the received second portion is able to be decoded. The receiving device decodes the received data based on the information included in the first portion and the additional information included in the second portion.
