V2X Provisioning via Middleware Coordination
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently obtaining and managing application requirements for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) applications, particularly in multi-PLMN environments where coordination of provisioning parameters across different networks is complex and inadequate.
Innovation Solution
The system determines and transmits provisioning parameters for V2X user equipment based on application requirements, utilizing a middleware application entity to coordinate radio and policy parameters across multiple public land mobile networks (PLMNs), ensuring efficient interworking and resource utilization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If provisioning parameters are coordinated across multiple PLMNs for V2X applications, then communication reliability and resource management are improved, but system complexity and coordination overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a network entity (such as a PCF or AF) that acts as an intermediary to collect application requirements from V2X applications and determine appropriate provisioning parameters. This intermediary coordinates with multiple PLMNs to ensure consistent parameter provisioning across networks, thereby improving communication reliability while centralizing the complexity management in a dedicated network entity rather than distributing it across all V2X UEs
2Productivity
If provisioning parameters are determined based on detailed application requirements, then service quality and data rate requirements are improved, but information processing and coordination overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a mechanism where application requirements are obtained and provisioning parameters are determined in advance before V2X communication actually occurs. The network entity collects requirements from applications and pre-determines provisioning parameters, so that when V2X communication needs to start, the parameters are already ready and coordinated across PLMNs, reducing real-time coordination overhead while ensuring high data rate requirements are met
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple PLMNs are coordinated for V2X services, then adaptability and service coverage are improved, but provisioning complexity and parameter management difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal provisioning mechanism where a network entity (PCF or AF) serves multiple functions: collecting application requirements, determining provisioning parameters, and coordinating with multiple PLMNs through a standardized interface. This multi-functional approach allows the same entity to handle different V2X applications and multiple PLMNs uniformly, improving service coverage across different networks while keeping provisioning complexity managed through a single point of control
