Solution Overview

Problem

The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) system lacks an effective management mechanism for terminal-to-terminal connections at the access layer, particularly in V2X LTE and NR systems, which hinders efficient direct communication between vehicles.

Innovation Solution

A method where a first terminal sends an access layer configuration parameter to a second terminal, enabling the second terminal to configure its access layer parameters for communication, specifically utilizing layers like SDAP, PDCP, RLC, MAC, or PHY, to establish and manage direct Device-to-Device (D2D) communication.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If direct terminal-to-terminal communication is implemented in IoV systems, then spectral efficiency and transmission delay are improved, but the lack of access layer connection management mechanism causes communication reliability to deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespectral efficiencyVSAvoidcommunication reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an access layer connection management mechanism that acts as an intermediary between terminals. The first terminal sends access layer configuration parameters to the second terminal through a structured message exchange process, enabling reliable direct communication without base station involvement while maintaining communication quality through standardized parameter configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If access layer connection management is added to IoV systems, then communication reliability is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection management reliabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the connection management function into specific access layer configuration parameters that are independently configurable. By dividing the management mechanism into discrete parameter elements (first access layer configuration parameter, second access layer configuration parameter), the system achieves reliable connection management while keeping each component simple and manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of operation

If terminals configure access layer parameters autonomously, then ease of operation is improved, but communication compatibility may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparameter configuration easeVSAvoidcommunication compatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal access layer configuration mechanism where standardized parameter structures can be applied across different terminal types and communication scenarios. The first terminal and second terminal use the same configuration message format and parameter definitions, enabling autonomous configuration while ensuring broad compatibility across the IoV system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
