Solution Overview

Problem

The LTE V2X system's measurement mechanism is based on a single numerology, making it inadequate for the more flexible numerologies required by 5G NR V2X, leading to inefficiencies in payload control and transmission reliability.

Innovation Solution

A method involving X first-type measurements in a target time-frequency resource pool, followed by a target second-type measurement to determine Modulation Coding Scheme (MCS) and time-frequency resources, allowing for flexible numerology adaptation in 5G NR V2X.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single numerology measurement mechanism is used in LTE V2X, then the system structure is simple, but it cannot meet the flexible numerology requirements of 5G NR V2X

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumerology flexibilityVSAvoidmeasurement mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The measurement mechanism is segmented into multiple independent measurement types (first-type measurements for payload status and second-type measurements for channel quality). Each measurement type operates independently on different time-frequency resource pools with different numerologies, allowing the system to support multiple numerologies without requiring a completely new unified measurement framework.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a new dimension of measurement classification by numerology type. Instead of using a single measurement mechanism across all numerologies, the system now performs measurements in different measurement dimensions (first-type for payload, second-type for channel quality) on different time-frequency resource pools, enabling flexible numerology support while maintaining clear measurement boundaries.

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

2Measurement precision

If multiple measurement types are performed in different time-frequency resource pools, then measurement accuracy and flexibility improve, but the measurement process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepayload control accuracyVSAvoidmeasurement process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the payload status measurement function into a separate first-type measurement that operates independently from channel quality measurements. By taking out the payload control measurement from the unified measurement framework, the system can optimize each measurement type for its specific purpose, improving accuracy while allowing independent optimization of each measurement process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The measurement mechanism achieves multi-functionality by performing both first-type measurements (for payload status) and second-type measurements (for channel quality) within the same overall framework. This universal measurement system can adapt to different numerologies and service requirements, providing both specialized measurement accuracy and broad system applicability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Ease of manufacture

If LTE V2X measurement mechanism is applied to 5G NR V2X, then implementation is straightforward, but transmission reliability for diverse services deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimplementation easeVSAvoidtransmission reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces dynamic adaptation to different numerologies while maintaining implementation simplicity. The measurement mechanism dynamically selects and performs appropriate measurement types (first-type or second-type) based on the numerology configuration and service requirements. This dynamic approach ensures transmission reliability for diverse services while keeping the implementation framework familiar and manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a method and a device in node used for wireless communication. The communication node first performs X first-type measurement(s) in a target time-frequency resource pool, and the X first-type measurement(s) is (are respectively) used for acquiring X first-type measurement value(s); performs a target second-type measurement, the target second-type measurement being used for acquiring a second-type measurement value; and then transmits a first radio signal. Herein, the X first-type measurement value(s) is(are) used for the target second-type measurement, and the target time-frequency resource pool is one of Q alternative time-frequency resource pools related to a Subcarrier Spacing (SCS) of subcarriers occupied by the first radio signal; there exist two of the Q alternative time-frequency resource pools that comprise different time-frequency resources.
