Solution Overview

Problem

In V2X communication, the increased reference signal mapping, automatic gain control symbols, and transmission/reception switching time reduce available resources for data transmission, leading to excessive coding rates and inefficiencies in current wireless communication systems.

Innovation Solution

A method for transmitting V2X data by mapping it to resources in a subframe excluding the last symbol, with the first symbol used for automatic gain control and the last symbol reserved for transmission/reception switching time, determining transport block size based on the number of resource blocks and modulation and coding scheme, and using effective resource blocks to optimize resource allocation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If reference signals are mapped to more resource blocks and additional symbols are employed for AGC and transmission/reception switching, then V2X communication reliability is improved, but available resources for data transmission are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveV2X communication reliabilityVSAvoidavailable resources for data transmission
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the last symbol of the subframe from the data transmission resources and dedicates it specifically for transmission/reception switching time. This separation ensures that critical switching operations have dedicated resources while data transmission utilizes only the remaining symbols, resolving the conflict between reliability requirements and resource availability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The subframe structure is segmented into distinct functional regions: symbols for AGC, symbols for reference signals, symbols for data transmission, and the last symbol for transmission/reception switching. This segmentation allows each function to operate with dedicated resources, improving overall system reliability while optimizing resource utilization for data transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If higher modulation order such as 64 QAM is used for V2X communication, then data transmission capacity is increased, but coding rate increases excessively

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission capacityVSAvoidcoding rate
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of resource allocation by excluding the last symbol from data transmission, thereby adjusting the total number of available resource elements. This parameter change allows the system to maintain higher modulation orders like 64 QAM for increased capacity while compensating for the coding rate increase by optimizing the transport block size calculation based on the reduced resource availability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If resource elements in the last symbol are included in mapping, then resource utilization is maximized, but transmission/reception switching time is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilizationVSAvoidtransmission/reception switching time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the last symbol from the set of symbols available for data mapping and reserves it exclusively for transmission/reception switching operations. This extraction ensures that switching time requirements are met with dedicated resources, while data transmission efficiently utilizes all remaining resource elements, achieving optimal resource utilization without compromising switching reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
