Solution Overview

Problem

In sidelink communications, particularly in V2V scenarios, emergency information transmission is hindered by semi-duplexing issues, where receiver ends fail to receive information within the required short period due to existing protocols that repeatedly transmit control and data in different subframes, leading to potential missed detection of emergency information.

Innovation Solution

A terminal is configured with multiple resource pools for transmitting different types of information, allowing the selection of resources based on the information's attribute, ensuring emergency information is transmitted efficiently by using specific resource pools optimized for low latency and reliability, avoiding overlap with non-emergency information transmission to guarantee timely reception.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If control information and data are transmitted repeatedly in different subframes according to existing protocols, then transmission reliability is improved, but transmission latency increases and emergency information cannot be received within required time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission reliabilityVSAvoidtransmission latency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines control information and data into the same subframe for transmission, eliminating the time delay caused by separate transmissions in different subframes. This merging approach maintains reliability through repeated transmissions while reducing latency to meet emergency information requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements repeated transmissions of control information and data within the same subframe structure, using periodic action to ensure reliability while minimizing the time interval between transmissions. This allows receivers to detect information quickly while maintaining transmission reliability through repetition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

2Productivity

If multiple resource pools are configured for different information types, then resource utilization efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilization efficiencyVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments resource pools into different types (first type for emergency information, second type for non-emergency information) with distinct characteristics. This segmentation allows efficient resource allocation and selection based on information attributes while keeping each resource pool's structure relatively simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent assigns different qualities or characteristics to different resource pools based on local requirements. First type resource pools are optimized for low latency and high reliability for emergency information, while second type resource pools are optimized for other requirements, allowing each pool to have specialized properties without making the entire system complex.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
