Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If broadcast/multicast is used to transmit V2X signals to multiple receiving user equipments, then the coverage and service capability are improved, but the complexity of managing ACK/NACK signals from multiple users increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice capabilityVSAvoidACK/NACK signal management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines ACK/NACK signals from multiple receiving user equipments into a single resource region for transmission to the transmitting user equipment. This merging approach reduces the complexity of managing individual ACK/NACK signals from each user while maintaining the ability to detect acknowledgment status across multiple receivers in the broadcast/multicast V2X scenario.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If individual ACK/NACK resources are allocated to each receiving user equipment, then the reliability of individual signal acknowledgment is improved, but the resource utilization efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal acknowledgment reliabilityVSAvoidresource utilization efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple ACK/NACK resources into a shared resource region that serves multiple receiving user equipments simultaneously. This approach improves resource utilization efficiency by eliminating redundant resource allocations while maintaining reliable acknowledgment detection through the combined signal structure that preserves individual user information within the aggregated resource.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Productivity

If a specific ACK/NACK resource region is allocated for V2X broadcast/multicast, then the resource allocation efficiency is improved, but the difficulty of detecting and managing signals from multiple users increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation efficiencyVSAvoidsignal detection difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the combined ACK/NACK signal from multiple users into distinguishable components through structured resource allocation and signal design. By organizing the aggregated signals in a specific resource region with defined structures, the transmitting user equipment can efficiently detect and differentiate individual acknowledgments within the combined signal, reducing the difficulty of signal detection despite the multi-user scenario.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
