Solution Overview

Problem

In vehicle communication systems, particularly in idle mode, there is a challenge in ensuring reliable data transmission and managing resource allocation to prevent unnecessary duplication transmissions and handover failures, which affects power consumption and link stability.

Innovation Solution

A method where a vehicle UE measures the status of resources in idle mode and reports it to the base station, allowing for adjusted resource allocation and duplication transmission strategies to enhance reliability and reduce handover failures.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If duplication transmission is performed to improve reliability, then data transmission reliability is improved, but power consumption increases and signaling overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission reliabilityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of transmission mode by dynamically switching between duplication transmission and non-duplication transmission based on channel conditions. When channel quality is good, duplication is stopped to save power; when channel quality degrades, duplication is activated to ensure reliability. This parameter change resolves the contradiction by making the system adaptive rather than static.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic control of duplication transmission through a trigger mechanism that monitors channel quality indicators (CQI). The system transitions from a static always-on duplication mode to a dynamic mode where duplication is activated or deactivated based on real-time channel conditions, thereby optimizing the trade-off between reliability and power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If duplication transmission is performed to improve reliability, then data transmission reliability is improved, but signaling overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission reliabilityVSAvoidsignaling overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of transmission mode by dynamically switching between duplication transmission and non-duplication transmission based on channel conditions. When channel quality is good, duplication is stopped to save power; when channel quality degrades, duplication is activated to ensure reliability. This parameter change resolves the contradiction by making the system adaptive rather than static.

Inventive Principle:

3Use of energy by moving object

If resource allocation is optimized to reduce power consumption, then battery consumption is reduced, but data transmission reliability may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery consumptionVSAvoiddata transmission reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic control of duplication transmission through a trigger mechanism that monitors channel quality indicators (CQI). The system transitions from a static always-on duplication mode to a dynamic mode where duplication is activated or deactivated based on real-time channel conditions, thereby optimizing the trade-off between reliability and power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs feedback mechanisms where the UE monitors channel quality and reports CQI to the base station. The base station uses this feedback to determine when to activate or deactivate duplication transmission. This feedback loop ensures that power consumption is minimized while maintaining reliability by making informed decisions based on actual channel conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

4Loss of time

If handover procedures are streamlined to reduce latency, then handover latency is reduced, but link stability may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehandover latencyVSAvoidlink stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing measurements and evaluations before handover is triggered. The system monitors channel conditions and prepares duplication transmission in advance when degradation is detected, ensuring that reliability measures are already in place before the handover occurs, thus preventing link instability during the transition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
