Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If V2X communication in NR system supports multiple communication types (unicast, multicast, broadcast), then communication versatility is improved, but packet receiving error rate increases due to difficulty in identifying correct data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication type supportVSAvoidpacket receiving accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces SCI (Sidelink Control Information) as an intermediary carrier that conveys identification information (target side identifier and communication type) between transmitting and receiving devices. This intermediary structure enables the receiving device to correctly identify and filter data packets of the intended communication type, thereby maintaining high reliability while supporting multiple communication types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If receiving device processes all received data packets, then no data is lost, but processing time increases and efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata reception completenessVSAvoidpacket receiving efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by embedding identification information (target side identifier and communication type) in the SCI before data transmission. The receiving device uses this pre-provided information to quickly identify and filter relevant data packets before full processing, thus maintaining data reception completeness while significantly improving processing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Speed

If transmitting device sends data without detailed configuration information, then transmission speed is fast, but receiving device cannot correctly identify data type leading to errors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission speedVSAvoidpacket identification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts critical identification information (target side identifier and communication type) from the main data transmission process and places it in the SCI. This extraction allows the receiving device to quickly identify data types without slowing down the main data transmission, thus maintaining high transmission speed while ensuring accurate packet identification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

Embodiments of this application relate to the wireless communication field, and provide a communication method and device. A second terminal device may receive data of a corresponding communication type based on a first target side identifier and the communication type that are included in SCI sent by a first terminal device, or the communication type included in the SCI sent by the first terminal device, to reduce a packet receiving error rate of the second terminal device, and further improve packet receiving efficiency of the second terminal device.
