Solution Overview

Problem

In wireless communication systems, particularly in V2X operations, existing methods for increasing message reliability through TTI bundling lead to increased resource occupancy, necessitating a more efficient use of resources to support various service requirements in 5G NR systems.

Innovation Solution

A V2X operation method based on transmission timer interval (TTI) bundling using multiplexing techniques, such as code division multiplexing (CDM) and spatial domain multiplexing, to efficiently reserve and utilize resources, allowing vehicles to perform V2X operations even when resources are scarce by sensing available resources and adapting transmission strategies.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If TTI bundling is performed to increase message reliability, then reliability is improved, but resource occupancy increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage reliabilityVSAvoidresource occupancy
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple TTIs into a bundled transmission unit, merging several transmission opportunities into a single coordinated operation. This allows the terminal to accumulate energy across multiple TTIs for enhanced reliability while managing resource usage through unified control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces multiplexing dimensions (code domain, spatial domain, or frequency domain) to differentiate bundled transmissions from other signals. By adding this dimensional separation, multiple terminals can perform TTI bundling simultaneously without excessive resource collision, thus improving reliability while controlling resource occupancy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Reliability

If more resources are allocated for TTI bundling, then message reliability is improved, but resource efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage reliabilityVSAvoidresource efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic resource allocation where the terminal selects resources adaptively based on channel conditions, sensing results, and multiplexing opportunities. This dynamic approach allows the system to allocate more resources when reliability is critical while maintaining efficiency under normal conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the state of resource usage by introducing multiplexing parameters (code indices, spatial ports, frequency offsets) that allow bundled transmissions to share physical resources. This parameter-based differentiation enables multiple reliable transmissions to coexist on the same time-frequency resources, improving both reliability and resource efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
