Solution Overview

Problem

In Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) communications, high-priority user equipment often fails to obtain necessary resources when V2V resources are insufficient, leading to delayed message transmission and compromised quality of service.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for V2V-based resource allocation, where a base station identifies high-priority user equipment and reallocates resources from lower-priority user equipment or alternative resource pools, ensuring timely message transmission by prioritizing resource allocation based on available idle resources and data requirements.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If V2V resources are allocated equally to all user equipment, then resource allocation fairness is improved, but quality of service for high-priority user equipment deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation fairnessVSAvoidquality of service for high-priority user equipment
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements differentiated resource allocation where high-priority user equipment receives preferential treatment in resource allocation. The base station identifies high-priority user equipment and allocates V2V resources from the first resource pool specifically to these users, ensuring they obtain sufficient resources even when overall V2V resources are limited. This local quality differentiation resolves the contradiction by sacrificing overall fairness to ensure reliable service for critical users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically adjusts resource allocation based on user equipment priority levels and real-time resource availability. When V2V resources are sufficient, normal allocation proceeds; when resources are insufficient, the system dynamically shifts allocation toward high-priority users by allocating from the first resource pool and preventing low-priority users from occupying resources needed by high-priority users. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction between fairness and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If V2V resources are allocated to low-priority user equipment, then resource utilization is improved, but availability of resources for high-priority user equipment deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilizationVSAvoidresource availability for high-priority user equipment
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments V2V resources into a first resource pool dedicated to high-priority user equipment and a second resource pool for other user equipment. By dividing the resource pool in this manner, the system ensures that high-priority users have guaranteed access to resources while low-priority users can utilize remaining resources, thus maintaining both high resource utilization and reliable service for critical users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent reserves the first resource pool in advance for high-priority user equipment before allocating resources to low-priority users. This preliminary action ensures that when high-priority users need resources, they can immediately obtain them from the pre-reserved pool without competing with low-priority users, thereby maintaining both high resource utilization overall and reliable availability for high-priority users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If V2V resources are restricted exclusively for high-priority user equipment, then quality of service for high-priority user equipment is improved, but overall resource utilization deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequality of service for high-priority user equipmentVSAvoidoverall resource utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides V2V resources into two distinct pools: a first resource pool reserved for high-priority user equipment and a second resource pool for other user equipment. This segmentation ensures that high-priority users have guaranteed access to resources for reliable service, while the second pool remains available to other users to maintain overall resource utilization. The segmentation resolves the contradiction by creating dedicated reserves without completely isolating resources from general use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a V2V-based resource allocation method and apparatus. The method includes: receiving a resource request message sent by first user equipment; identifying, according to the resource request message, a level type corresponding to the first user equipment; if the level type is a high priority type, and a quantity of blocks of idle V2V resources in a first resource pool is less than a first preset threshold, or a quantity of required resource blocks that is calculated and a modulation and coding scheme is greater than a quantity of blocks of idle V2V resources in a first resource pool, allocating a V2V resource to the first user equipment. By means of the V2V-based resource allocation method and apparatus, quality of service of user equipment of a high priority type can be ensured.
