Solution Overview

Problem

Current V2X communication systems face challenges in reducing latency and improving reliability due to Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI) caused by the high movement speeds of vehicles, which affects the performance of D2D communication in 5G networks.

Innovation Solution

A method of allocating resources for D2D communication by identifying and utilizing movement direction-based resource pools, where vehicles with similar movement directions are allocated to the same resource pool, minimizing ICI and optimizing channel estimation performance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If vehicles use D2D communication for V2X communication, then communication latency is reduced and reliability is improved, but Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI) occurs due to high movement speeds

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidInter-Carrier Interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The resource pool is segmented into multiple subsets based on movement direction. Each vehicle is assigned to a specific subset corresponding to its movement direction, which isolates vehicles with different movement characteristics and prevents their signals from interfering with each other, thereby reducing ICI while maintaining communication reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different resource pools are allocated to different movement directions (e.g., upward direction vs. downward direction). This local quality assignment ensures that vehicles moving in similar directions share the same resource pool while vehicles moving in opposite directions use different pools, minimizing ICI caused by high-speed movement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If resource pools are allocated based on movement direction, then ICI is minimized and channel estimation is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechannel estimation performanceVSAvoidresource allocation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-establishes multiple resource pools corresponding to different movement directions before communication begins. The base station determines the movement direction of each vehicle and assigns appropriate resource pools in advance, which simplifies the allocation process and reduces system complexity while improving channel estimation performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The resource pool assignment is dynamically adjusted based on the movement direction of vehicles. As vehicles change their movement direction, their resource pool assignments are updated accordingly. This dynamic approach maintains optimal channel estimation performance while adapting to changing traffic conditions without requiring complex reconfiguration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
