Solution Overview

Problem

In V2X communication environments, there is a need to improve the reliability and efficiency of service advertisement messages to ensure reliable forwarding and provision of safety services across various frequency bands.

Innovation Solution

A V2X communication device and method that includes accessing a first channel to receive a network protocol data unit (NPDU) containing a service advertisement message (SAM), which comprises an N-header providing network information, a T-header providing transport information, and a body containing service information, along with additional features like CBR information and multichannel access modes to optimize channel selection and resource usage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If service advertisement messages are transmitted on multiple channels, then service coverage and reliability are improved, but channel congestion and resource waste increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice provision reliabilityVSAvoidchannel resource waste
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of channel selection by introducing CBR (Channel Busy Ratio) information in the N-header. Devices dynamically adjust their channel selection based on the CBR values received in SAM packets, transmitting service data on channels with lower congestion levels. This parameter-based adaptation resolves the contradiction by maintaining reliable service provision through multichannel transmission while avoiding resource waste by selecting less congested channels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If CBR information is included in N-header, then channel selection efficiency is improved, but message structure complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechannel selection efficiencyVSAvoidmessage structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The N-header structure is designed to be multi-functional, serving both as a network layer header for routing purposes and as a carrier for CBR information. By making the N-header universal and capable of carrying multiple types of information (network routing + channel status), the patent avoids creating separate complex message structures, thus improving channel selection efficiency while minimizing additional complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple transmission modes are supported, then adaptability to different network conditions is improved, but device operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission mode adaptabilityVSAvoiddevice operation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic transmission mode selection where devices can switch between different transmission modes (direct reception mode and service channel switching mode) based on real-time channel conditions and CBR information. This dynamic approach allows the system to adapt to varying network conditions while maintaining relatively simple operation through automated mode selection based on predefined criteria and received CBR data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
