Innovation Solution

A method and system for detecting misbehavior in V2X communications by obtaining state information from a second device, detecting inconsistencies, and determining misbehavior based on additional state information received from surrounding devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If devices share location information in V2X communication, then communication efficiency is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to potential falsification of location data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication efficiencyVSAvoidlocation information authenticity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where receiving devices send feedback information to transmitting devices about the consistency of location data. This feedback loop enables the system to identify and mitigate falsified location information while maintaining efficient V2X communication, thus resolving the contradiction between communication efficiency and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary verification mechanism where receiving devices act as mediators to verify the authenticity of location information before accepting it. This intermediary layer filters out falsified data while allowing legitimate communication to proceed efficiently, balancing both communication efficiency and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If devices verify location information authenticity, then reliability is improved, but device complexity increases due to additional verification mechanisms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelocation information authenticityVSAvoidverification mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables devices to perform self-verification of location information using their own sensors and onboard systems. By leveraging self-service capabilities, devices can verify location authenticity without requiring complex external verification infrastructure, thus improving reliability while minimizing the increase in device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent designs verification mechanisms that utilize existing multi-functional device capabilities (sensors, processors, communication modules) for both normal operation and verification purposes. This universal approach allows reliability improvement without requiring separate dedicated verification hardware, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Measurement precision

If devices collect surrounding information for misbehavior detection, then measurement precision is improved, but loss of information increases due to additional data requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemisbehavior detection accuracyVSAvoiddata transmission overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential surrounding information needed for misbehavior detection from the complete set of available data. By selectively taking out only the critical elements (such as relative positions and velocities of nearby vehicles), the system achieves high measurement precision for misbehavior detection while minimizing information loss and data overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by collecting detailed surrounding information only in specific contexts where misbehavior detection is critical, rather than uniformly across all communication scenarios. This localized approach improves measurement precision when needed while reducing overall information loss and data transmission overhead in normal operating conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
