Solution Overview

Problem

In current V2X communication systems, MODE 3 and MODE 4 terminals coexisting in the same resource pool are not efficiently managed, leading to potential interference and inefficient resource utilization, as each type of terminal operates independently without considering the presence of the other, resulting in suboptimal communication performance.

Innovation Solution

A method is introduced where MODE 3 terminals set the resource reservation field on a PSCCH to an SL SPS period, allowing MODE 4 terminals to identify and avoid resources used by MODE 3 terminals, enabling efficient coexistence and improved communication by allowing MODE 4 terminals to select alternative resources, thereby reducing interference and enhancing overall system efficiency.

Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces sensing measurement as an intermediary mechanism that enables MODE 4 terminals to detect and identify resources used by MODE 3 terminals. By implementing sensing measurements, MODE 4 terminals can distinguish between resources occupied by MODE 3 terminals and those available for MODE 4 communication, thereby reducing interference while maintaining high resource utilization efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where MODE 4 terminals perform sensing measurements to obtain information about resources used by MODE 3 terminals. This feedback information is then used to adjust resource selection and avoid conflicts, ensuring reliable communication while efficiently utilizing available resources

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If separate resource pools are allocated for MODE 3 and MODE 4 terminals, then interference between modes is eliminated, but resource utilization efficiency deteriorates due to resource fragmentation

Engineering Contradiction:
