Solution Overview

Problem

Current V2X communication systems face challenges in resource selection, particularly for P-UEs with limited power endurance, leading to resource collisions and increased power loss due to inefficient channel sensing and random resource selection modes, which fail to meet the high transmission density and low latency requirements of V2X communications.

Innovation Solution

A method for V2X communications where a UE determines configuration information of transmission resource pools, selects a resource pool based on channel sensing status, and chooses a resource selection mode (random or partial-channel-sensing-based) to optimize power usage and reduce collisions, involving one-shot or resource reservation modes to ensure timely data transmission.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If random resource selection mode is used, then device complexity is reduced, but resource collision increases and transmission reliability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource selection complexityVSAvoidtransmission reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic resource selection by switching between random resource selection mode and partial channel sensing mode based on power endurance status. When power endurance is sufficient, partial channel sensing is performed to improve reliability; when power endurance is limited, random resource selection is used to reduce complexity and power consumption. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction between device complexity and transmission reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If partial channel sensing is performed, then resource collision is reduced and transmission reliability is improved, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission reliabilityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the channel sensing depth and resource selection strategy based on real-time power endurance status. When power endurance is sufficient, more extensive partial channel sensing is performed to reduce resource collisions. When power endurance is limited, the system reduces sensing activities and switches to random resource selection, thereby resolving the contradiction between transmission reliability and power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of channel sensing intensity based on power endurance status. By adjusting the sensing window size, sensing frequency, and resource selection strategy according to power availability, the system optimizes the balance between transmission reliability and power consumption, allowing P-UEs to adapt to varying power conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If channel sensing is continuously performed, then resource selection accuracy is improved, but power loss increases for P-UEs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource selection accuracyVSAvoidpower loss
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements partial channel sensing instead of continuous full channel sensing. P-UEs perform sensing on a subset of resources or at reduced frequency, which maintains adequate resource selection accuracy while significantly reducing power loss. This partial action approach allows P-UEs to function effectively without depleting their limited power reserves.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

4Reliability

If resource reservation mode is used, then transmission reliability is improved under high load, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission reliabilityVSAvoidresource management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically switches between one-shot resource selection and resource reservation modes based on channel conditions and load status. Under high load conditions, resource reservation mode is activated to improve transmission reliability by securing resources in advance. Under normal conditions, simpler one-shot selection is used to reduce complexity. This dynamic switching resolves the contradiction between reliability and device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
