Solution Overview

Problem

In the context of V2X communication, existing systems face challenges in detecting and handling misbehaving on-board equipment (OBEs) due to security issues such as privacy exposure, incorrect information generation, and message falsification, which can lead to accidents and resource inefficiencies in traffic systems.

Innovation Solution

A method for detecting misbehaving OBEs involves transmitting a beacon with misbehavior inspection zone (MIZ) information, sending a warning message to suspicious OBEs, and reporting them to a security system based on response receipt within a valid time frame, utilizing MBD authorization, MIZ identity, and V2X communication control information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If V2X communication is used to share information for safety and resource optimization, then traffic system security and efficiency are improved, but security issues such as privacy exposure, incorrect information generation, and message falsification occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraffic system securityVSAvoidprivacy exposure, incorrect information, message falsification
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by establishing a misbehavior inspection zone (MIZ) and authorization mechanism before V2X communication occurs. Authorized RSEs/OBEs are pre-identified and equipped with inspection capabilities, allowing potential misbehaving OBEs to be detected and warned before they can cause harm. The beacon transmission with MIZ information serves as a preliminary warning system that activates before actual misbehavior affects the traffic system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If misbehavior detection operations are performed continuously to identify suspicious OBEs, then detection capability is improved, but network load and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemisbehavior detection capabilityVSAvoidprocessing time and network load
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by limiting misbehavior inspection to specific authorized zones (MIZ) rather than performing continuous monitoring across the entire V2X network. Only authorized RSEs and OBEs within the MIZ participate in inspection operations, creating a localized detection network that reduces overall processing load while maintaining effective detection capability within the designated area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses partial action by transmitting beacons with MIZ information only to authorized devices within the inspection zone, rather than broadcasting to all V2X participants. The warning message is sent only to suspicious OBEs identified through report analysis, not to all devices, thereby reducing unnecessary processing time and network traffic while maintaining sufficient detection coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Reliability

If warning messages are sent to suspicious OBEs to give them a chance to correct behavior, then false positive reduction is improved, but response time requirements increase processing complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefalse positive reductionVSAvoidresponse handling complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback by sending warning messages to suspicious OBEs and waiting for their response within a defined valid time period. The authorized RSE/OBE receives feedback information from the suspicious OBE's response and adjusts its decision accordingly - if the response indicates legitimate behavior, the OBE is cleared; if no response or inappropriate response is received, the OBE is reported as misbehaving. This feedback mechanism reduces false positives while managing processing complexity through time-bound responses.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Disclosed is an on board equipment (OBE) misbehavior detection method of a vehicle to everything (V2X) communication device. An OBE misbehavior detection method of a V2X communication device, according to one embodiment of the disclosure, comprises the steps of: transmitting a beacon including information associated with a misbehavior inspection zone (MIZ); receiving a report on a possible MV-OBE; transmitting a warning message to a suspected MV-OBE; and receiving a response message for the warning message from the suspected MV-OBE within a valid response time or when the response message is not received within the valid response time, transmitting a report on the suspected MV-OBE to a security system.
