Solution Overview

Problem

In wireless communication systems, particularly in LTE-based V2X environments, there is a need for efficient reporting of geographic information by vehicle user equipment (UE) to optimize resource allocation for V2X communication, as existing methods do not adaptively manage reporting intervals based on vehicle speed, leading to suboptimal resource utilization and communication efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that configure a reporting interval for geographic information based on the speed of the vehicle UE, allowing periodic transmission of this information to the network, enabling adaptive resource allocation and improved communication efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If geographic information is transmitted frequently to ensure accurate resource allocation, then resource allocation accuracy is improved, but network signaling overhead and energy consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation accuracyVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The reporting interval is dynamically adjusted based on vehicle speed. When vehicle speed exceeds a threshold, the reporting interval is extended (reduced frequency), and when speed is below the threshold, the reporting interval is shortened (increased frequency). This dynamic adaptation maintains resource allocation accuracy for high-speed vehicles while reducing unnecessary signaling overhead and energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the reporting interval parameter according to vehicle speed conditions. By modifying this temporal parameter based on speed measurements, the system optimizes the balance between location update accuracy and network overhead, ensuring that geographic information is reported frequently enough for accurate resource allocation while minimizing energy waste from excessive reporting.

AI summary

An in-vehicle terminal engaged in vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, especially vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication, establishes a reporting cycle on the basis of the speed of the in-vehicle terminal, and transmits geographic information of the in-vehicle terminal to a network cyclically on the basis of the reporting cycle. That is, the reporting cycle may be shortened as the in-vehicle terminal speed increases, or may be lengthened as the in-vehicle terminal speed decreases.
