Solution Overview

Problem

In V2X operations based on TTI bundling in wireless communication systems, changes in the transmission environment can lead to errors during channel estimation and data decoding when terminals do not account for changes in the bundled TTIs, resulting in potential transmission errors.

Innovation Solution

A method where the terminal includes information related to changes in the bundled TTIs, such as power changes, into the scheduling information and transmits this information, allowing for adaptive power adjustments and improved channel estimation performance by notifying the receiving terminal of power changes and transmission environment adjustments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the terminal performs V2X operation without considering the change of the transmission environment in bundled TTIs, then the transmission process is simple, but errors occur during channel estimation and data decoding

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission reliabilityVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The transmitting terminal notifies the receiving terminal of power changes and transmission environment adjustments in advance by including change-related information in scheduling information. This preliminary notification allows the receiving terminal to prepare appropriate reception strategies before the actual data transmission, preventing errors during channel estimation and data decoding while maintaining operational simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where the transmitting terminal provides information about power changes and transmission environment variations to the receiving terminal through scheduling information. This feedback enables the receiving terminal to adapt its reception process to the actual transmission conditions, improving reliability without significantly increasing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If the terminal includes change-related information in scheduling information, then transmission errors are reduced, but the amount of information to be transmitted increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata decoding accuracyVSAvoidinformation overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential change-related information (power changes, transmission environment adjustments) from the complete transmission context and includes only this extracted information in the scheduling information. This selective extraction reduces the information overhead while still providing sufficient data for the receiving terminal to perform accurate channel estimation and data decoding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Adaptability or versatility

If power changes occur within bundled TTIs, then transmission adaptability is improved, but channel estimation accuracy deteriorates without notification

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower adjustment capabilityVSAvoidchannel estimation precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The transmitting terminal provides preliminary notification of power changes through scheduling information before the actual data transmission in bundled TTIs. This advance notification allows the receiving terminal to maintain accurate channel estimation even when power changes occur, as the receiving terminal can adjust its estimation process based on the notified power adjustment information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
