Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In V2X communication systems, ensuring high reliability and preventing channel congestion is crucial for multi-channel operations, as existing technologies lack efficient methods for channel selection and decentralized congestion control across multiple frequency bands.
Innovation Solution
A V2X communication apparatus that obtains and transmits channel busy ratio (CBR) information for multiple channels, allowing for intelligent channel switching and decentralized congestion control (DCC) by selecting service channels based on CBR values, including local and remote CBR information, and sharing this information to optimize channel usage and reduce congestion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple frequency bands are used to provide various V2X services, then service diversity and coverage are improved, but channel congestion and reliability issues worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the communication channels by dividing them into control channels (CCH) and service channels (SCH), and further segments service channels into multiple frequency bands. This segmentation allows different types of traffic to be handled on different channels, preventing congestion from affecting all services simultaneously and improving overall system reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic channel selection where V2X devices can switch between control channels and service channels based on congestion conditions. The system dynamically adjusts channel usage by selecting less congested channels for data transmission, thereby maintaining reliable service delivery even when some channels experience high traffic loads.
2Productivity
If channel switching is performed to avoid congestion, then channel use efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by having V2X devices measure and report Channel Busy Ratio (CBR) information for multiple channels in advance. This pre-measurement allows the system to proactively identify congested channels and switch to alternative channels before congestion severely impacts communication, improving efficiency while managing complexity through structured measurement procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs feedback mechanisms where V2X devices continuously measure CBR on control and service channels, report this information to the network, and receive channel selection guidance. This feedback loop enables automated channel switching decisions based on real-time congestion conditions, improving channel use efficiency while the structured feedback process manages system complexity.
3Reliability
If CBR information for multiple channels is obtained and transmitted, then decentralized congestion control is improved, but communication overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential CBR information parameters needed for congestion control decisions from the full channel state data. By transmitting selectively extracted CBR metrics rather than complete channel measurements, the system achieves effective decentralized congestion control while minimizing communication overhead.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements partial action by having devices measure CBR on multiple channels but only report and process the most relevant CBR information for congestion control decisions. This partial reporting approach provides sufficient information for reliable decentralized control while reducing the quantity of data that needs to be transmitted and processed.
