Solution Overview

Problem

Existing V2V communication technologies in wireless networks face challenges in providing guaranteed communication without network assistance, particularly in direct communication modes like PC5 Mode 4, which lacks guarantees and introduces excessive delays due to reliance on local resource reservation and interference management.

Innovation Solution

A user equipment (UE) is configured to establish communication sessions with other UEs by jointly identifying and reserving communication resources based on interference sensing measurements, allowing for guaranteed data exchange without network intervention, using PC5 Mode 4, and facilitating power control to minimize interference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If PC5 Mode 4 direct communication is used without network assistance, then communication autonomy and speed are improved, but communication reliability and interference management deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing interference sensing measurements before resource selection. Each UE measures interference levels on candidate resources in advance, then uses these measurements to select optimal resources for communication, ensuring reliable transmission without network assistance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where UEs exchange interference measurement information and communication status. This feedback loop allows UEs to adapt their resource selection and transmission parameters dynamically, maintaining reliability while operating autonomously in PC5 Mode 4

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If distributed algorithms with sensing are used for resource selection, then network independence is improved, but interference management capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork independenceVSAvoidinterference
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs interference sensing measurements as a preliminary action before resource selection. By measuring interference levels on candidate resources in advance, UEs can select resources that minimize interference, enabling network-independent operation while effectively managing interference through distributed sensing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements self-service by having each UE autonomously perform interference measurements and resource selection based on local conditions. Each UE serves itself by using its own sensing capabilities to identify optimal resources, eliminating the need for network coordination while maintaining interference awareness

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses feedback mechanisms where UEs exchange interference measurement information and communication status. This feedback loop enables autonomous UEs to make informed resource selection decisions that guarantee communication quality, as each UE knows the actual interference levels and can select resources accordingly

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs interference sensing as a preliminary action before resource selection. By measuring interference levels in advance on candidate resources, UEs can select resources that guarantee acceptable communication quality, combining autonomy with reliability through informed preliminary measurements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
