Solution Overview

Problem

In V2X communication systems, calculating transmitting power based on pathloss between a transmitter and a receiver can lead to strong interference on sidelink communication between distant terminals, and existing methods to orthogonalize interfering transmissions may occupy excess resources or fail when the transmitter autonomously selects resources.

Innovation Solution

A method involving a communication node that receives information with power parameters to determine transmitting power values, using position information to adjust power settings, ensuring optimal power levels for V2X links to avoid interference while maintaining receiving performance and configuring different power parameters for varying transmission coverages.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If transmitting power is calculated based on pathloss between transmitter and receiver in V2X pair, then receiving performance is improved, but interference on sidelink communication between other V2X pairs increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereceiving performanceVSAvoidinterference on sidelink communication
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by configuring different power parameters (P0, Palpha) for different distance zones. Terminals in different distance ranges relative to the target terminal receive different power parameter configurations, allowing power control to be locally optimized for each zone while considering interference to other V2X pairs. This resolves the contradiction by making power control adaptive to local spatial conditions rather than using a uniform pathloss-based approach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Object-generated harmful factors

If orthogonalize two pairs of mutually interfering sidelink transmissions in time-frequency resources, then interference is reduced, but resource occupation increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of transmitting power by configuring different power parameters for different distance zones. Instead of orthogonalizing transmissions in time-frequency resources, the invention adjusts the power level parameter to reduce interference. This allows simultaneous transmissions in the same resources while controlling interference through power management, thus avoiding the resource occupation penalty of orthogonalization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Object-generated harmful factors

If use position information to adjust power settings for different distance zones, then interference is reduced, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveinterferenceVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring power parameters (P0, Palpha) for different distance zones through higher layer signaling before transmission. The terminal does not need to perform complex real-time calculations, but rather selects the appropriate pre-configured parameters based on its distance to the target terminal. This reduces device complexity while still achieving interference reduction through position-based power control.
