Solution Overview

Problem

V2X systems face issues with redundant and low-criticality misbehavior reports overwhelming system bandwidth, leading to inefficient use of communication and computing resources due to static priority assignment and redundant reporting.

Innovation Solution

V2X systems dynamically assign priority to misbehavior reports based on external conditions, such as anticipated vehicle responses and proximity to the misbehavior, and use probabilistic methods to determine transmission, discarding low-priority reports when bandwidth is limited.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If V2X systems send misbehavior reports for every detected inaccurate or false information, then detection reliability is improved, but communication bandwidth is overwhelmed and system resources are wasted due to redundant reports

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection reliabilityVSAvoidcommunication bandwidth
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the parameter of report transmission from deterministic (always transmit) to probabilistic (transmit with probability p). Each V2X system determines a transmission probability for misbehavior reports and randomly decides whether to transmit based on this probability, thereby reducing the quantity of redundant reports while maintaining detection reliability through statistical sampling.

Principle #35Parameter changes

2Loss of information

If all V2X systems transmit misbehavior reports simultaneously, then reporting completeness is improved, but system bandwidth is overwhelmed and transmission efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereporting completenessVSAvoidtransmission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements periodic transmission opportunities where V2X systems transmit misbehavior reports at scheduled intervals rather than continuously. Combined with probabilistic selection, this creates a rhythm of transmission that distributes report traffic over time, preventing bandwidth overload while ensuring comprehensive coverage across the vehicle population.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Device complexity

If static priority assignment is used for misbehavior reports, then system complexity is reduced, but transmission efficiency deteriorates due to inability to prioritize critical reports

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepriority assignment complexityVSAvoidtransmission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system transitions from static priority assignment to dynamic priority determination based on transmission probability. Each misbehavior report is assigned a probability value that reflects its criticality and the likelihood of redundant reporting, allowing the system to dynamically adjust which reports are transmitted based on current conditions without requiring complex centralized control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
