Solution Overview

Problem

Current 3GPP D2D communication systems face challenges in V2X scenarios due to high-speed devices and high carrier frequencies, leading to severe inter-subcarrier interference and inadequate performance, particularly in avoiding collisions and in-band leakage interference.

Innovation Solution

A data transmission method that involves sensing scheduling assignments and received power or total energy to select or re-select resources, ensuring optimal resource allocation to minimize collisions and interference, using a sensing module, resource selecting module, and sending and receiving module to dynamically adjust resource usage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If resource selection is performed without sensing in D2D communication, then device complexity is reduced, but collision and interference between devices increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource selection complexityVSAvoiddata transmission reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing sensing operations before resource selection to gather information about channel conditions and other device activities. This advance preparation allows devices to make informed resource selection decisions, reducing collisions and interference while maintaining manageable complexity through structured sensing procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where devices continuously sense the channel and adjust their resource selection based on sensed information about other devices' transmissions. This feedback loop enables dynamic resource allocation that adapts to changing channel conditions, improving transmission reliability without requiring overly complex centralized control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If sensing and resource re-selection are performed frequently, then collision avoidance improves, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecollision avoidance capabilityVSAvoiddevice energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies periodic action by performing sensing and resource re-selection at specific intervals rather than continuously. Devices sense the channel periodically and re-select resources based on accumulated sensing information, which maintains collision avoidance capability while significantly reducing energy consumption compared to continuous monitoring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements partial action by performing sensing on only certain subframes or resource blocks rather than all available resources. This selective sensing approach provides sufficient information for reliable resource selection while reducing the overall sensing burden and energy consumption compared to exhaustive channel monitoring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Reliability

If resource allocation is centralized through eNB control, then collision between devices is reduced, but system complexity and signaling overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation reliabilityVSAvoidsystem control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies self-service by enabling devices to autonomously perform sensing and resource selection without requiring centralized eNB control for each resource allocation decision. Devices independently monitor the channel, detect other devices' transmissions, and select their own resources based on sensed information, which reduces system control complexity while maintaining allocation reliability through distributed intelligence.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
