Solution Overview

Problem

Current data transmission solutions in the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) system, particularly in LTE D2D and NR-V2X, face inefficiencies due to the inability to effectively manage multiple transmission modes simultaneously, leading to challenges in meeting data transmission demands.

Innovation Solution

A wireless communication method that enables terminal devices to send and receive sidelink data in multiple modes, such as transmission modes 3 and 4, and the mode introduced in Rel-16, by determining the appropriate mode based on different sidelink data situations, including propagation modes, access modes, and quality of service (QoS), to improve data transmission efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single transmission mode is used in V2X communication, then the system is simple to operate and manage, but it cannot meet the diverse data transmission demands as transmission demand increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission demand coverageVSAvoidtransmission mode management
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic transmission mode selection where the terminal device automatically switches between mode 3 and mode 4 based on real-time conditions such as whether the sidelink is established, QoS requirements, and propagation characteristics. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to handle diverse transmission demands without manual configuration, resolving the contradiction between versatility and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of transmission mode selection based on different sidelink conditions, QoS parameters, and propagation modes. By adjusting which mode is active based on these parameters, the system achieves adaptability to various transmission demands while maintaining simple operation through automated parameter-based decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple transmission modes are supported simultaneously, then diverse data transmission demands can be met, but resource conflicts increase and transmission efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission mode flexibilityVSAvoiddata transmission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs dynamic mode selection that adapts to current sidelink conditions, ensuring that only the most appropriate mode is active at any given time. This prevents resource conflicts between modes while maintaining the flexibility to switch modes as conditions change, thereby preserving transmission efficiency alongside versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different transmission modes to different local conditions - mode 3 for controlled network environments with base station coordination, and mode 4 for autonomous sidelink scenarios. This localized application of appropriate modes ensures optimal performance for each specific situation without creating conflicts, maintaining both flexibility and efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If transmission resources are allocated by base station (mode 3), then resource allocation is centralized and controlled, but transmission delay increases compared to autonomous selection (mode 4)

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation controlVSAvoidtransmission delay
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent dynamically selects between base station-controlled resource allocation (mode 3) and autonomous resource selection (mode 4) based on whether a sidelink is established and current QoS requirements. When low delay is critical and sidelink conditions permit, the system switches to mode 4 for immediate autonomous resource selection, thereby reducing transmission delay while maintaining reliability through conditional mode switching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

4Loss of time

If autonomous resource selection (mode 4) is used, then transmission delay is reduced, but resource allocation control and reliability decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission delayVSAvoidresource allocation control
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the resource allocation control parameter based on sidelink establishment status and QoS requirements. When network coverage and sidelink conditions allow, autonomous mode 4 provides fast access with minimal delay. When network control is required for reliability, the system transitions to mode 3 with base station coordination. This parameter-based switching ensures both low delay and appropriate control levels are achieved based on specific operational conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
