Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently managing semi-persistent scheduling for vehicle-to-device (V2D) communications, particularly in allocating resources for periodic and variable message transmissions in vehicle-to-everything (V2X) networks, leading to inefficient resource usage and potential collisions.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) configurations with dynamic periodicity adjustments based on vehicle speed and geographical location, allowing multiple UEs to share common resource pools and autonomously select transmission resources, thereby optimizing resource allocation and minimizing collisions.

1Productivity

If semi-persistent scheduling is implemented for V2X communications, then resource allocation efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases due to multiple SPS configurations and dynamic periodicity adjustments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation efficiencyVSAvoidscheduling configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the scheduling configuration into multiple independent SPS configurations, each with specific parameters (periodicity, offset, resource allocation). This segmentation allows the system to manage complex scheduling by handling multiple simpler configuration units, enabling efficient resource allocation while maintaining manageable complexity through modular configuration structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic periodicity adjustments where the scheduling period can be modified based on vehicle speed and geographical location conditions. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to optimize resource allocation efficiency in real-time while managing complexity through predefined adjustment rules that respond to changing environmental conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If multiple UEs share common resource pools with autonomous selection, then resource utilization efficiency is improved, but collision probability increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilization efficiencyVSAvoidtransmission collision probability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by having UEs autonomously select and reserve resources in advance based on their transmission needs and detected conditions. Each UE performs preliminary resource selection using defined algorithms that consider current traffic conditions, thereby improving resource utilization efficiency while reducing collisions through proactive resource allocation rather than reactive approaches.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where UEs continuously monitor transmission success and channel conditions. Based on this feedback, UEs can adjust their resource selection and periodicity parameters, allowing the system to maintain high resource utilization while dynamically responding to collision conditions and optimizing performance in real-time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If dynamic periodicity adjustments are made based on vehicle speed, then adaptability is improved, but message transmission timing accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptation to vehicle speedVSAvoidtransmission timing accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the periodicity parameter dynamically based on vehicle speed measurements and geographical location. By adjusting the scheduling period according to actual vehicle conditions, the system achieves high adaptability to varying traffic scenarios. The timing accuracy is maintained through precise parameter calculations and synchronization mechanisms that ensure accurate message transmission despite the dynamic adjustments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
