Solution Overview

Problem

In wireless communication systems, particularly in V2X/V2V/D2D environments, feedback from receiving devices outside the intended geographical area leads to inefficient retransmissions and resource wastage due to the highly mobile nature of transmitters and receivers, degrading system performance.

Innovation Solution

Transmitting devices provide geographic area information in messages, enabling receiving devices to determine if they are intended receivers, thus limiting unnecessary feedback by indicating the geographic area within which feedback should be sent.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If receiving devices send feedback for messages without geographic area filtering, then feedback reliability is improved, but system resource efficiency deteriorates due to futile retransmissions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeedback reliabilityVSAvoidsystem resource efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the service area into multiple geographic areas by dividing the service area into a plurality of geographic areas, each associated with a respective feedback configuration. This allows feedback to be selectively enabled or disabled for specific geographic regions, preventing futile retransmissions to devices outside the intended service area while maintaining reliability for devices within the area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different feedback configurations are applied to different geographic areas. The base station provides feedback configurations that are specific to each geographic area, allowing the system to optimize feedback behavior locally for each region rather than applying a uniform feedback policy across the entire service area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Measurement precision

If the base station provides detailed feedback configurations for each geographic area, then feedback management precision is improved, but signaling overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeedback management precisionVSAvoidsignaling overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The base station provides feedback configurations in advance before actual feedback transmission occurs. The feedback configurations are pre-established for each geographic area, allowing receiving devices to determine eligibility for feedback without requiring real-time complex calculations or extensive signaling during the feedback transmission phase.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses feedback configuration information that is copied or derived from existing message structures and geographic area definitions. Rather than creating entirely new feedback signaling mechanisms, the system leverages existing message formats and geographic area identifiers to convey feedback eligibility, reducing the additional signaling overhead required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

An improved manner of transmitting and receiving messages in V2X/V2V/D2D is presented in which a transmitting device determines a geographic location of the mobile transmitting device and generates a message for a service group having a group ID associated with the service group, the message comprising a first indication of a geographic area associated with the message, the geographic area based at least in part on the geographic location of the transmitting device. Then, the apparatus transmits the message to the service group, e.g., via V2X/V2V/D2D communication. A receiving device then determines its geographic location and determines whether to send a feedback for the message based on the first indication of the geographic area associated with the message and the geographic location of the receiving device.
