Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems lack effective methods for transmitting warning messages in Vehicle to Everything (V2X) services to protect pedestrians and drivers from collisions, particularly in managing transmission power and frequency based on dynamic conditions such as vehicle velocity and population density.

Innovation Solution

The proposed solution involves a Message transmission Guideline Package (MGP) message that includes geographical coordination information and a value tag for updating warning messages, allowing vehicle user equipment (VUE) to determine transmission frequency and power based on velocity range class and population density, with the ability to adapt messages even when out of network coverage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If warning messages are transmitted frequently with high power to ensure timely notification, then road safety is improved, but energy consumption and network interference increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveroad safetyVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic adjustment of transmission power and frequency based on real-time conditions. The VUE determines transmission parameters by considering velocity range class, population density, and network coverage status, allowing the system to optimize energy usage while maintaining safety requirements. When velocity increases or population density is high, transmission frequency and power are increased accordingly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes transmission parameters (power and frequency) based on multiple conditions including velocity range class, population density, and value tag expiration. This allows the system to adapt transmission characteristics to match actual safety needs, avoiding unnecessary high-power transmissions when conditions permit lower power usage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Speed

If transmission frequency is increased to adapt to higher vehicle velocity, then warning timeliness is improved, but network resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevehicle velocityVSAvoidnetwork resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The transmission frequency is dynamically adjusted based on the vehicle's velocity range class. When a VUE detects increased velocity, it automatically increases transmission frequency to maintain appropriate warning intervals. This dynamic adaptation ensures safety requirements are met while avoiding excessive transmissions at lower velocities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system modifies transmission frequency as a function of velocity, population density, and other contextual factors. By changing this parameter adaptively rather than using a fixed frequency, the system optimizes network resource usage while maintaining safety performance across varying operational conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If MGP messages are updated frequently to reflect changing conditions, then warning accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewarning accuracyVSAvoidmessage management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses value tags to pre-indicate when MGP messages should be updated. This allows VUEs to efficiently manage message updates by checking the value tag rather than continuously processing all message parameters. The value tag acts as a preliminary indicator that simplifies the update decision-making process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The value tag parameter is used to track and manage MGP message updates. By incorporating this specific parameter, the system can determine whether updates are needed without re-evaluating all message contents, thereby reducing processing complexity while maintaining warning accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
