Solution Overview

Problem

In the Rel-15 Internet of vehicles system, there is a need to configure transmission parameters based on a new MCS table, which is not directly supported by existing Rel-14 systems, particularly for supporting 64QAM modulation, requiring a method to determine suitable transmission parameters for terminal devices.

Innovation Solution

A method where terminal devices determine transmission parameters using Channel Busy Ratio (CBR) and service priority, with the aid of proportion coefficients and mapping relationships, to adapt existing parameters to meet Rel-15 requirements, allowing for the configuration of MCS ranges, PRB number ranges, or sub-band number ranges.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a new MCS table is introduced for Rel-15 to support 64QAM modulation, then the system can meet higher transmission requirements, but existing Rel-14 transmission parameters become incompatible and cannot be directly used

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodulation support capabilityVSAvoidparameter configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by introducing proportion coefficients (e.g., 1.25, 1.5, 2.0) that scale existing Rel-14 transmission parameters to derive appropriate Rel-15 parameters. This allows the system to adapt to the new MCS table and 64QAM requirements while maintaining compatibility with existing parameter structures, thus resolving the contradiction between supporting new modulation and managing configuration complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces mapping relationships as intermediary elements that bridge the gap between Rel-14 transmission parameters and Rel-15 requirements. These mapping relationships serve as a translation layer, converting existing parameters into forms suitable for the new MCS table without requiring complete reconfiguration, thereby reducing the complexity burden while enabling 64QAM support.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If transmission parameters are determined based on CBR and service priority with proportion coefficients, then Rel-15 transmission requirements are met, but the parameter determination process becomes more complex compared to existing systems

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission parameter suitabilityVSAvoidparameter determination complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining mapping relationships and proportion coefficients that encode the complex transformation logic between Rel-14 and Rel-15 parameters. These pre-configured elements allow terminal devices to determine Rel-15 transmission parameters through simpler lookups and calculations rather than complex real-time optimization, thus improving reliability while managing the complexity burden.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses parameter changes by systematically transforming existing transmission parameters through defined proportion coefficients based on CBR and service priority. This structured parameter transformation approach ensures that Rel-15 parameter determination maintains reliability through consistent scaling relationships while reducing the perceived complexity by providing clear transformation rules rather than requiring complex algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
