Solution Overview

Problem

In V2X communication, pedestrian UEs (P-UEs) face challenges in efficiently selecting transmission resources while minimizing battery consumption and interference with other terminals, particularly in scenarios where partial sensing and random selection are not allowed.

Innovation Solution

The proposed method involves reserving and efficiently selecting V2X communication resources by implementing a UE-specific sensing period and a method for selecting a transmission resource, which minimizes unnecessary radio resource occupation and maximizes efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a P-UE performs V2X communication with frequent resource selection, then communication reliability is improved, but battery consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidbattery consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a sensing mechanism where the P-UE periodically monitors resource pools at specific intervals rather than continuously. The UE performs sensing in a sensing window before resource selection and uses a counter mechanism to determine when to sense again, creating a periodic action pattern that balances communication reliability with energy conservation by avoiding unnecessary continuous monitoring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

2Object-affected harmful factors

If a P-UE selects transmission resources conservatively, then interference with other terminals is reduced, but resource utilization efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterference with other terminalsVSAvoidresource utilization efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a feedback mechanism where the P-UE measures the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) of received signals in the resource pool and compares it against a threshold. Based on this feedback, the UE dynamically adjusts its resource selection - excluding resources with high interference (above threshold) while utilizing resources with acceptable interference levels (below threshold), thereby optimizing both interference reduction and resource utilization efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If a P-UE performs comprehensive sensing before resource selection, then resource selection accuracy is improved, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource selection accuracyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the resource pool into multiple resource units (sub-channels and resource blocks) that can be independently sensed and evaluated. The UE segments the sensing process by measuring RSSI for each resource unit separately and maintaining a list of excluded resources, rather than treating the entire resource pool as a single unit. This segmentation improves measurement precision while managing processing complexity through structured organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
