Solution Overview

Problem

In sidelink communication, especially in mode 2 of LTE-V2X, issues such as excessive power consumption and long transmission delays arise due to half-duplex, hidden node, and resource collision, necessitating a coordination mechanism between terminal devices for resource selection and reselection, but the generation and transmission of coordination information are not adequately addressed.

Innovation Solution

A method where a first terminal generates and sends coordination information to a second terminal, either periodically or under a preset condition, to facilitate resource selection or reselection, including sets of resources expected to be used, not used, or with conflicts, to optimize resource allocation and reduce delays.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If terminal devices operate in mode 2 with autonomous resource selection, then resource allocation flexibility is improved, but power consumption increases and transmission delay lengthens due to half-duplex, hidden node, and resource collision issues

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation flexibilityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces coordination information as an intermediary mechanism between terminal devices. This coordination information mediates resource selection by providing insights into resource availability and potential conflicts, enabling terminals to make better-informed decisions without continuous network intervention, thus balancing autonomy with efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary resource assessment through coordination information exchange before actual data transmission. Terminals perform resource selection based on pre-acquired coordination information that identifies suitable resources and potential conflicts in advance, preventing resource collisions and reducing the need for retransmissions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If terminal devices operate in mode 2 with autonomous resource selection, then resource allocation flexibility is improved, but transmission delay increases due to half-duplex, hidden node, and resource collision issues

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation flexibilityVSAvoidtransmission delay
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where terminals send coordination information to other terminals about resource availability and detected conflicts. This feedback loop enables receiving terminals to adjust their resource selection proactively, avoiding collisions and reducing retransmission delays while maintaining autonomous operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary resource assessment through coordination information exchange before actual data transmission. Terminals identify suitable resources and potential conflicts in advance using coordination information, enabling conflict-free transmission and reducing delays caused by resource collisions and retransmissions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If coordination information is exchanged between terminal devices, then resource selection efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases due to the need for information generation and transmission protocols

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource selection efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential coordination information needed for resource selection from the complete channel state information. By selecting and transmitting only relevant parameters (such as resource availability indicators and conflict information) rather than full channel measurements, the system reduces signaling overhead and complexity while maintaining resource selection efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
