Solution Overview

Problem

Current V2V communication systems face limitations in expanding transmission range and efficiency due to blind forwarding channel determination, leading to signaling overhead, delay, and air interface burden.

Innovation Solution

A forwarding control method and apparatus that determine the distribution state of neighboring terminals to select an appropriate forwarding mode, using different types of forwarding nodes such as neighboring terminals and base stations to optimize data forwarding, thereby avoiding these issues.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If blind forwarding channel determination is used, then forwarding can be performed, but signaling overhead and air interface burden increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveforwarding efficiencyVSAvoidsignaling overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic forwarding mode selection that adapts to changing distribution states of neighboring terminals. The system transitions between different forwarding modes (direct forwarding, indirect forwarding, base station forwarding) based on real-time conditions, optimizing forwarding efficiency while minimizing signaling overhead for each specific scenario

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of forwarding mode selection based on the distribution state of neighboring terminals. By monitoring terminal distribution parameters and adjusting the forwarding mode accordingly, the system achieves efficient forwarding without incurring unnecessary signaling overhead

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Area of stationary object

If multiple forwarding attempts are performed to expand transmission range, then broader coverage is achieved, but transmission delay increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission coverage areaVSAvoidtransmission delay
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary determination of the distribution state of neighboring terminals before initiating data forwarding. By pre-assessing the terminal distribution scenario, the system can directly select the most appropriate forwarding mode, avoiding multiple trial forwarding attempts and thereby reducing transmission delay while ensuring coverage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces base stations as intermediary forwarding nodes when terminal distribution conditions are unfavorable for direct V2V forwarding. This intermediary approach enables broader coverage through cellular network infrastructure without requiring multiple V2V forwarding hops, thus reducing overall transmission delay

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If V2V communication is used for data transmission, then direct vehicle-to-vehicle communication is achieved, but transmission range is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedirect communication capabilityVSAvoidtransmission coverage area
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal forwarding system that can operate in multiple modes: direct V2V forwarding when terminals are nearby, indirect V2V forwarding through intermediate terminals, and base station forwarding when terminals are far apart. This multi-functional approach maintains the ease of direct V2V communication while extending the transmission coverage area through alternative forwarding paths

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

AI summary

A forwarding control method and a forwarding control apparatus is provided. A method comprises: at least determining, in response to a forwarding demand of measured data of at least one mobile terminal, a distribution state of neighboring terminals associated with a forwarding expectation of the measured data of the at least one mobile terminal; and determining, at least according to the distribution state, a forwarding mode of the measured data corresponding to the distribution state. In response to a forwarding demand of measured data, a corresponding forwarding mode can be selected according to a distribution state of neighboring terminals, so as to avoid problems, such as signaling overhead, delay, and an over heavy air interface burden, which may be caused by blindly determining a forwarding channel, and assist in implementing more effective forwarding.
