Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of mobile communication technology, and more specifically, to a WLAN sensing measurement method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of mobile communication technology, Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) technology has made significant progress in transmission rate and throughput. Currently, research on Wi-Fi technology focuses on areas such as 320MHz bandwidth transmission, aggregation and coordination of multiple frequency bands, and its main applications include video transmission, Augmented Reality (AR), and Virtual Reality (VR).

[0003] Specifically, multi-band aggregation and coordination refers to devices communicating simultaneously in 2.4GHz, 5.8GHz, 6GHz, and other frequency bands. For scenarios where devices communicate simultaneously in multiple frequency bands, a new Media Access Control (MAC) mechanism needs to be defined for management. Furthermore, multi-band aggregation and coordination is expected to support low-latency transmission.

[0004] Currently, the maximum bandwidth supported by multi-band aggregation and coordination technology is 320MHz (160MHz+160MHz). In addition, it may also support 240MHz (160MHz+80MHz) and other bandwidths supported by existing standards.

[0005] Current Wi-Fi technologies under research may support Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) sensing technologies. Examples include location detection, proximity detection, and presence detection in dense environments (such as home and enterprise environments). WLAN sensing typically involves both Triggered Based Sounding (TB) and Non-TB based sensing methods. In TB-based sensing, the Access Point (AP) acts as the initiator or transmitter, while in Non-TB-based sensing, the Station (STA) acts as the initiator or transmitter. Specifically, in TB-based scenarios, one or both of the two detection methods—Trigger-Based Sounding (TF Sounding) and Null Packet Advertisement (NDPA Sounding)—may exist. Therefore, it is necessary to provide indications of the TB-based detection method to improve the TB-based sensing measurement process. Summary of the Invention

[0039] In this disclosure, the term "and / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three cases: A alone, A and B simultaneously, and B alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0040] In this disclosure, the term "multiple" refers to two or more, and other quantifiers are similar.

[0041] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements in the following description relating to the drawings. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0042] The terminology used in this disclosure is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the disclosure. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” as used in this disclosure and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term “and / or” as used herein refers to and includes any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0043] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc., may be used in this disclosure to describe various information, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are used only to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, without departing from the scope of this disclosure, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information. Depending on the context, for example, the word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "when," "when," or "in response to determination."

[0044] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0045] This disclosure provides a WLAN sensing measurement method and apparatus, electronic device and storage medium for indicating TB-based detection operation mode.

[0046] The method and apparatus are based on the same concept of the application. Since the methods and apparatus solve problems in similar ways, the implementation of the apparatus and methods can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be described again.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown in the illustration, this disclosure provides a WLAN sensing measurement method. Optionally, the method can be applied to a network device, which can be a sensing initiator. The method may include the following steps:

[0048] Step 101: Determine a sensing measurement establishment request frame; wherein the sensing measurement establishment request frame includes first indication information, the first indication information indicating the detection type and / or execution order of the sensing measurement event, the detection type including trigger detection TF Sounding and / or empty data packet announcement detection NDPA Sounding.

[0049] As a first example, see Figures 2 to 4First, the architecture and process of WLAN Sensing applied in the WLAN sensing measurement method provided in this disclosure embodiment will be introduced.

[0050] Figure 2 The diagram illustrates an architecture for a WLAN sensing process. The sensing initiator (or initiator terminal) initiates WLAN sensing (e.g., initiates a WLAN sensing session). Multiple sensing responders (or sensing receivers) may respond to this process, such as... Figure 2 The response terminals 1, 2, and 3 are shown in the diagram. When the sensing initiator initiates WLAN Sensing, multiple associated or unassociated WLAN Sensing response terminals can respond.

[0051] See Figure 3 The sensing initiator and the sensing responder communicate through a communication connection, as shown in communication connection S1; the sensing responders communicate with each other through communication connection S2.

[0052] In this context, each sensing initiator can be a client; each sensing responder (in this example, sensing responder 1 to sensing responder 3) can be a station (STA) or an access point (AP). Furthermore, STAs and APs can assume multiple roles in the WLAN sensing process; for example, an STA can act as a sensing initiator, which may be a sensing transmitter, a sensing receiver, or both, or neither. Similarly, a sensing responder can also be a sensing transmitter, a sensing receiver, or both.

[0053] As another architecture, such as Figure 4 As shown, both the sensing initiator and the sensing response end can be clients, and they can communicate by connecting to the same access point (AP) device. Figure 4 In this context, Client1 is the sensing initiator, and Client2 is the sensing response provider.

[0054] As a second example, see Figure 5This illustrates multiple sensing measurement events (Measurement Instances) of a TB-based sensing measurement process; in Examples 1 to 5, the sensing measurement process includes polling, probing, and reporting (LTF sec.update) processes; in each example, probing may include only NDPAsounding or TF Sounding; or it may include both.

[0055] Therefore, before WLAN sensing measurement is established, the sensing initiator determines a sensing measurement establishment request frame, which carries first indication information. This first indication information indicates the detection type and / or execution order of the sensing measurement event. The sensing measurement event is, for example, an uplink sensing measurement event. The detection type includes triggering detection (TFSounding) and / or null packet announcement detection (NDPA Sounding). For example, the detection type may only include one of TFSounding and NDPA Sounding; for instance, Example 1 only includes NDPA Sounding, and Example 2 only includes TF Sounding. When the detection type includes both TF Sounding and NDPA Sounding, the first indication information can also indicate their execution order. Figure 5 Examples 3 and 4 are provided. In Example 3, NDPA Sounding is executed before TFSounding, and in Example 4, NDPA Sounding is executed before TF Sounding.

[0056] Step 102: During the sensing measurement establishment process, the sensing measurement establishment request frame is sent.

[0057] After determining the sensing measurement establishment request frame, the sensing initiator sends the sensing measurement establishment request frame to the sensing response end during the sensing measurement establishment process to request the establishment of sensing measurement, and at the same time indicates the detection type and / or execution order included in this sensing measurement process.

[0058] In an optional embodiment, the sensing measurement establishment request frame includes sensing measurement parameter information elements;

[0059] The first indication information is carried in the sensing measurement parameter information element.

[0060] Referring to Table 1, the format of the sensing measurement parameter information element is as shown in Table 1 below, including the original identifier field, the length field, the element extended identifier field, and the sensing measurement parameter information element field; wherein, the first indication information is carried in the sensing measurement parameter information element field;

[0061] Table 1:

[0062]

[0063]

[0064] Furthermore, the format of the sensing measurement parameter information element field is shown in Table 2 below, including the type subfield, reserved subfield, measurement report subfield, etc.:

[0065] Table 2:

[0066]

[0067] See Figure 6 This disclosure also provides a WLAN sensing measurement method, optionally applicable to a network device, which can be a sensing initiator; the method may include the following steps:

[0068] Step 601, determine the sensing measurement establishment request frame; wherein, the sensing measurement establishment request frame includes first indication information, the first indication information indicating the detection type of the sensing measurement event, the detection type including trigger detection TF Sounding and / or empty data packet announcement detection NDPA Sounding;

[0069] The first indication information includes identity information;

[0070] Wherein, if the identity information includes a sensing transmitter, the detection type includes NDPA Sounding;

[0071] and / or

[0072] When the identity information includes a sensing receiver, the detection type includes TFSounding.

[0073] The WLAN sensing measurement method provided in this disclosure uses the architecture and process of WLAN sensing as described in the first example above, and the TB-based sensing measurement process uses the second example above, which will not be repeated here.

[0074] During TB-Based sensing measurement, the detection types include TF Sounding and / or NDPA Sounding; therefore, before WLAN sensing measurement is established, the sensing initiator determines a sensing measurement establishment request frame, which carries first indication information to indicate the detection type of the sensing measurement event, such as an uplink sensing measurement event.

[0075] Specifically, the first indication information includes identity information; if the identity information includes a sensing transmitter, for example, a transmitter bit is set in the first indication information, the transmitter bit is set to 1, and the identity information of the sensing initiator is identified as a transmitter, and the detection type includes the NDPASounding; if the identity information includes a sensing receiver, for example, a receiver bit is set in the first indication information, the receiver bit is set to 1, and the identity information of the sensing initiator is identified as a receiver, and the detection type includes the TF Sounding.

[0076] Furthermore, the probe type may include only one of TF Sounding and NDPA Sounding. For example, Example 1 includes only NDPA Sounding, and Example 2 includes only TF Sounding; in this case, the Transmitter bit or Receiver bit is set to 1, respectively. If the probe type includes both TF Sounding and NDPA Sounding, then both the Transmitter bit and Receiver bit are set to 1.

[0077] Step 602: During the sensing measurement establishment process, the sensing measurement establishment request frame is sent.

[0078] After determining the sensing measurement establishment request frame, the sensing initiator sends the sensing measurement establishment request frame to the sensing response end during the sensing measurement establishment process to request the establishment of sensing measurement, and at the same time indicates the detection type included in this sensing measurement process.

[0079] See Figure 7 This disclosure also provides a WLAN sensing measurement method, optionally applicable to a network device, which can be a sensing initiator; the method may include the following steps:

[0080] Step 701: Determine a sensing measurement establishment request frame; wherein the sensing measurement establishment request frame includes first indication information, the first indication information indicating the execution order of sensing measurement events, and the sensing measurement events including triggering TF Sounding and null packet announcement detection NDPA Sounding;

[0081] If the first indication information is a first parameter value, then the execution order of NDPA Sounding is before the execution order of TFSounding;

[0082] If the first indication information is the second parameter value, then the execution order of TF Sounding is before the execution order of NDPASounding.

[0083] The WLAN sensing measurement method provided in this disclosure uses the architecture and process of WLAN sensing as described in the first example above, and the TB-based sensing measurement process uses the second example above, which will not be repeated here.

[0084] In TB-based sensing measurement, when the detection type includes TF Sounding and NDPA Sounding, the first indication information indicates the execution order of the two; for example, in the parameter field of the sensing measurement establishment request frame, such as in the sensing measurement parameter field, an additional bit is added to identify the order of NDPA sounding and TF sounding, i.e., the first indication information; this bit is set to "1" to indicate that NDPA sounding occurs first, followed by TF sounding, as shown below. Figure 5 In Example 3, NDPA Sounding is executed before TF Sounding;

[0085] This bit is marked as "0", indicating that the TF sounding occurs first, followed by the NDPA sounding process; for example, in Example 4, NDPA sounding is executed before TF sounding.

[0086] Step 702: During the perception measurement establishment process, the perception measurement establishment request frame is sent.

[0087] After determining the perception measurement establishment request frame, the perception initiator sends the perception measurement establishment request frame to the perception response end during the perception measurement establishment process to request the establishment of perception measurement, and at the same time indicates the execution order of this perception measurement process.

[0088] See Figure 8 This disclosure also provides a WLAN sensing measurement method, optionally applicable to a network device, which can be a sensing initiator; the method may include the following steps:

[0089] Step 801: Determine a sensing measurement establishment request frame; wherein the sensing measurement establishment request frame includes first indication information, the first indication information indicating the detection type and / or execution order of the sensing measurement event, the detection type including trigger detection TF Sounding and / or empty data packet announcement detection NDPA Sounding.

[0090] When the first indication information indicates the detection type.

[0091] If the first indication information is the third parameter value, then the detection type includes the TF Sounding and the NDPA Sounding;

[0092] If the first indication information is the fourth parameter value, then the detection type includes the TF Sounding or the NDPA Sounding.

[0093] The WLAN sensing measurement method provided in this disclosure uses the architecture and process of WLAN sensing as described in the first example above, and the TB-based sensing measurement process uses the second example above, which will not be repeated here.

[0094] In TB-based sensing measurement processes, such as uplink sensing measurement events, there may be sensing measurement processes mapped to Measurementsetup ID that include both TF sounding and NDPA sounding, or there may be sensing measurement processes mapped to Measurementsetup ID that only include either TF sounding or NDPA sounding. Therefore, a first indication information is needed to identify whether the WLAN sensing measurement establishment request frame initiated by the sensing initiator includes one or both of TF sounding and NDPA sounding. For example, setting it to "1" indicates that both are included. Figure 5 Examples 3 and 4; setting it to "0" indicates that one of them is included, such as Figure 5 Example 1 includes only NDPA sounding, and Example 2 includes only TF sounding.

[0095] Step 802: During the sensing measurement establishment process, the sensing measurement establishment request frame is sent.

[0096] After determining the sensing measurement establishment request frame, the sensing initiator sends the sensing measurement establishment request frame to the sensing response end during the sensing measurement establishment process to request the establishment of sensing measurement, and at the same time indicates the detection type included in this sensing measurement process.

[0097] In an optional embodiment, the first indication information is carried in the dialog token field of the perception measurement establishment request frame. Referring to Table 3, the format of the perception measurement establishment request frame is as shown in Table 3 below, including a category field, a common action field, a dialog token field, a perception measurement establishment identifier field, and a perception measurement parameter information element field; the first indication information can be carried in the dialog token field.

[0098] Table 3:

[0099]

[0100]

[0102] See Figure 9 This disclosure provides a WLAN sensing measurement method. Optionally, the method can be applied to an electronic device, which can be a sensing response terminal. The method may include the following steps:

[0103] Step 901: During the perception measurement establishment process, a perception measurement establishment request frame is received; wherein, the perception measurement establishment request frame includes first indication information, the first indication information indicating the detection type and / or execution order of the perception measurement event, the detection type including trigger detection TF Sounding and / or empty data packet notification detection NDPASounding.

[0104] The WLAN sensing measurement method provided in this disclosure uses the architecture and process of WLAN sensing as described in the first example above, and the TB-based sensing measurement process uses the second example above, which will not be repeated here.

[0105] Before WLAN sensing measurement is established, during the sensing measurement establishment process at the sensing response end, a sensing measurement establishment request frame is received. This frame includes first indication information, which indicates the detection type and / or execution order of the sensing measurement event. The sensing measurement event is, for example, an uplink sensing measurement event. The detection type includes trigger detection (TF Sounding) and / or null packet announcement detection (NDPA Sounding). For example, the detection type may only include one of TF Sounding and NDPA Sounding; for instance, Example 1 only includes NDPA Sounding, and Example 2 only includes TF Sounding. When the detection type includes both TF Sounding and NDPA Sounding, the first indication information can also indicate their execution order. Figure 5 Examples 3 and 4 are provided. In Example 3, NDPA Sounding is executed before TFSounding, and in Example 4, NDPA Sounding is executed before TF Sounding.

[0106] In an optional embodiment, when the first indication information indicates the detection type and the execution order, and the detection type includes the TF Sounding and the NDPA Sounding;

[0107] After receiving the sensing measurement establishment request frame, the method further includes:

[0108] Determine the target detection type involved by the sensing response terminal;

[0109] Determine the execution order of the target detection type.

[0110] When the sensing response end only participates in either NDPA sounding or TF sounding, i.e., the target detection type it participates in, it is only necessary to detect the execution order of the NDPA sounding and TF sounding involved; according to the execution order of the target detection type, it participates in the detection process of the target detection type.
