Solution Overview

Problem

Current mobile communication systems face challenges in supporting drastically increasing data traffic, requiring higher transmission rates, more linked devices, low end-to-end latency, and high energy efficiency, while also needing to transmit information related to neighboring vehicles in emergency situations efficiently.

Innovation Solution

A method for transmitting information from a first vehicle UE to a PSAP via V2X communication, involving the generation of a second V2X message based on a received message during an eCall, including control information for neighboring vehicles, and determining whether to transmit this message, a minimum set of data, or both, to a network entity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If V2X messages from neighboring vehicles are transmitted to PSAP during eCall emergencies, then information completeness and safety are improved, but transmission time and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidtransmission time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-stores V2X messages from neighboring vehicles in a buffer before emergencies occur. When an eCall is triggered, these pre-collected messages are immediately available for transmission to PSAP, eliminating the need for real-time data collection during the emergency and thus reducing transmission time while maintaining information completeness.

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If multiple V2X messages and control information are included in the second V2X message, then information accuracy is improved, but message size and processing complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accuracyVSAvoidmessage processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The second V2X message is structured with clear segmentation between the original V2X message content and the added control information. This includes distinct fields for neighboring vehicle identifiers, relative position data, and other relevant parameters. The segmented structure allows PSAP to efficiently parse and process different information types separately, reducing overall processing complexity while maintaining complete and accurate information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Speed

If V2X communication is used to transmit emergency information to PSAP, then data transmission speed is improved, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission speedVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of continuously transmitting V2X messages during the entire eCall duration, the system employs periodic transmission only when necessary. V2X messages are transmitted to PSAP at specific intervals or triggered by significant events (such as changes in neighboring vehicle conditions), reducing unnecessary energy consumption while ensuring critical information is delivered promptly to maintain high data transmission speed when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

AI summary

Disclosed herein is a method for transmitting information for a neighboring vehicle UE of a first vehicle UE using V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) communication in a wireless communication system.The method includes receiving a first V2X message from at least one the neighboring vehicle UE; generating a second V2X message based on the received first V2X message when an accident triggering an eCall (emergency call) occurs, checking whether the second V2X message is ready to be transmitted to the first network entity; and transmitting at least one of the eCall, a minimum set of data (MSD) forming the data component of the eCall, or the second V2X message to the first network entity according to the result of the check.
