Solution Overview

Problem

In-vehicle wireless communication systems face resource conflicts and interference between different communications domains, leading to reduced information receiving quality due to independent resource selection and multiplexing methods that can block receiving processes.

Innovation Solution

A communications apparatus allocates and configures distinct resource pools for different communications domains, employing time-division multiplexing to avoid conflicts and improve reception quality, with optional frequency-division multiplexing for specific scenarios.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If resources are independently selected in each communications domain, then resource allocation flexibility is improved, but resource conflicts occur between domains leading to transmission failures

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation flexibilityVSAvoidtransmission reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the resource pool into domain-specific resource pools, where each communications domain is allocated a dedicated resource pool. This segmentation prevents resource conflicts between domains while maintaining allocation flexibility within each domain, as the master node can independently manage resources in its assigned pool without interfering with other domains.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements local quality by allowing each communications domain to have customized resource allocation characteristics suited to its specific requirements. The master node configures resource pools with parameters optimized for its domain's communication needs, enabling tailored resource management that improves both flexibility and reliability for each domain while preventing cross-domain interference.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Productivity

If resources are multiplexed in frequency domain across communications domains, then resource utilization efficiency is improved, but receiving processes are blocked leading to reduced information receiving quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilization efficiencyVSAvoidinformation receiving quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments frequency resources into separate resource pools for different communications domains, eliminating frequency domain multiplexing between domains. This segmentation prevents receiving process blocking while maintaining high resource utilization within each domain through efficient local resource management and configuration by the master node.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Device complexity

If a single resource pool is used for all communications domains, then device complexity is reduced, but resource conflicts and interference increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource management complexityVSAvoidresource interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the overall resource pool into multiple domain-specific resource pools, which increases structural complexity but eliminates resource interference between domains. The master node manages these segmented pools through automated configuration and allocation, which maintains operational simplicity despite the segmented structure, thus resolving the contradiction between complexity and interference.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The master node acts as an intermediary that manages the segmented resource pools, configuring and allocating resources automatically based on domain requirements. This intermediary management layer simplifies the operation of the segmented structure by handling the complexity of resource pool configuration, thereby maintaining ease of operation while preventing resource interference through proper segmentation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
