Solution Overview

Problem

The existing resource allocation mechanism in Release 16 (Rel-16) New Radio (NR)-Vehicle to X (V2X) mode 2 faces issues such as large overhead for coordination information, insufficient timeliness, and uncertain container of coordination information due to half duplex and hidden nodes in the resource allocation mechanism.

Innovation Solution

A resource selection method and device for a coordinating UE in a V2X sidelink system that determines and transmits sidelink resource coordination information, limiting the coordination information's time and reducing overhead by determining a resource indication window, type of coordination resource, and transmitting within a predetermined duration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If inter-UE coordination mechanism is used to solve half duplex and hidden nodes problems, then resource allocation reliability is improved, but coordination information overhead becomes too large

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation reliabilityVSAvoidcoordination information overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential coordination information needed to solve half duplex and hidden nodes problems, rather than transmitting complete resource allocation data. By selecting and transmitting only critical coordination parameters (such as resource selection window indicators and exclusion information), the overhead is significantly reduced while maintaining the reliability benefits of inter-UE coordination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The coordination information is segmented into essential and non-essential components. Only the essential segments that directly address half duplex and hidden nodes issues are transmitted, while other detailed resource allocation information is omitted or handled through pre-agreed protocols, thereby reducing overall overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If inter-UE coordination mechanism is used to solve resource allocation problems, then resource allocation reliability is improved, but coordination information timeliness becomes insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation reliabilityVSAvoidcoordination information timeliness
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary resource selection and coordination information preparation before the actual resource allocation decision is needed. By pre-determining which coordination information is essential and preparing it in advance, the system can quickly transmit and process coordination data when needed, improving timeliness while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The coordination information transmission mechanism is made dynamic, adapting the amount and type of information transmitted based on current channel conditions, traffic patterns, and urgency of resource allocation. This allows the system to prioritize timely transmission of critical coordination data when latency is concerning, while reducing overhead during less time-sensitive scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Productivity

If coordination information overhead is reduced, then transmission efficiency is improved, but container determination becomes uncertain

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission efficiencyVSAvoidcontainer determination complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameters of coordination information by standardizing its structure, size, and format. By defining fixed parameter sets and standardized encoding schemes for the essential coordination data, the system achieves both reduced overhead (improved transmission efficiency) and deterministic container determination (reduced complexity).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
