Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If feedback is introduced in V2X unicast or groupcast transmission, then the reliability of data transmission is improved, but the system complexity and resource overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission reliabilityVSAvoidfeedback system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The feedback mechanism is segmented into different types (ACK/NACK for unicast, NACK-only for groupcast) and different feedback resources (dedicated PUCCH resources, shared PUCCH resources, or PSFCH resources). This segmentation allows the system to apply appropriate feedback complexity based on the specific service requirement, achieving reliability improvement without unnecessary complexity overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The feedback mechanism is made dynamic through configurable feedback requirements that can be indicated by the transmitting UE. The feedback type, resource selection, and transmission parameters can be dynamically adjusted based on service requirements, allowing the system to adapt between simple and complex feedback modes as needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If feedback requirements are dynamically indicated to meet varying service requirements, then the adaptability is improved, but the signaling overhead and processing complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeedback adaptabilityVSAvoidfeedback processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The feedback system uses parameter changes to achieve adaptability. The transmitting UE indicates feedback requirements through parameters such as feedback type (ACK/NACK, NACK-only), feedback resource selection, and timing parameters. These parameter changes allow dynamic adaptation to different service requirements without requiring complex protocol changes or additional system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If UEs select feedback resources autonomously outside network coverage, then the system's operational capability in coverage-free scenarios is improved, but the resource coordination efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoverage-free operation capabilityVSAvoidresource coordination efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies preliminary action by pre-configuring resource pools and feedback resource selections before V2X communication occurs. UEs can autonomously select feedback resources from pre-defined pools based on indicated requirements, enabling operation without network coverage while maintaining reasonable resource coordination through advance preparation and standardized selection rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
