Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the technical field of mobile communication, and in particular, to a sensing broker (SBP) termination method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of mobile communication technology, Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) technology has made great progress in transmission rate and throughput. At present, the contents studied by Wi-Fi technology are, for example, 320Mhz bandwidth transmission, aggregation and coordination of multiple frequency bands, and the main application scenarios are, for example, video transmission, Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and the like.

[0003] In the currently studied Wi-Fi technology, Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) sensing technology can be supported. For example, in application scenarios such as location discovery in dense environments (such as home environments and enterprise environments), proximity detection, and presence detection. In the process of WLAN Sensing, the identities of a station device (Station, STA) and an access point device (Access Point, AP) can be exchanged, for example, both can act as an initiator device (Sensing Initiator or Sensing Transmitter). When acting as a Sensing Initiator or Sensing Transmitter, the AP can simultaneously communicate with multiple STAs, but the STA does not have the above function and can only communicate one-to-one with a single responder (Sensing Responder), which on the one hand causes waste of spectrum resources and on the other hand causes an increase in latency. For communication scenarios with high latency requirements, the latency requirements may not be met. In order to solve this problem, a method of using an AP to proxy a STA to initiate sensing measurement is proposed, and after the sensing measurement is completed, a termination proxy process needs to be initiated. Therefore, a method of terminating the proxy in the process of the AP proxying the STA to initiate sensing measurement is needed. SUMMARY

[0043] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0044] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a sensing agent SBP termination method and device, an electronic device and a storage medium, to provide a way to terminate the agent in the AP agent STA initiated sensing measurement process.

[0045] The method and device are based on the same application concept. Since the principles of the method and device for solving problems are similar, the implementation of the device and the method can be referred to each other, and the repeated parts will not be described again.

[0046] As shown in Figure 1 The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a sensing agent SBP termination method. Optionally, the method can be applied to an SBP response end, which can be an access point device AP. The method can include the following steps:

[0047] In step 101, an SBP report frame is determined; wherein the SBP report frame comprises a first identification bit, and the first identification bit indicates that the SBP report frame is the last SBP report frame sent by the SBP response end in a WLAN sensing measurement process.

[0048] As a first example, refer to Figures 2 to 4 First, the architecture of WLAN Sensing and the WLAN Sensing process to which the sensing agent SBP termination method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure are applied are introduced.

[0049] Figure 2 An architecture diagram of WLAN Sensing is shown; wherein a sensing initiator (or initiator) initiates WLAN Sensing (for example, initiates a WLAN sensing session), and there can be multiple sensing responders (sensing receivers) or responders that respond to it, as shown in Figure 2 , such as responder 1, responder 2, and responder 3. When the sensing initiator initiates WLAN Sensing, multiple associated or unassociated sensing responders of WLAN Sensing can respond.

[0050] Refer to Figure 3 , the sensing initiator and the sensing responder communicate through a communication connection, as shown by the communication connection S1; the sensing responders communicate through the communication connection S2.

[0051] Among them, each sensing initiator can be a client; each sensing responder (in this example, namely, sensing responder 1 to sensing responder 3) can be a station device (Station, STA) or an access point device (Access Point, AP). In addition, the STA and the AP can assume multiple roles in the WLAN sensing process; for example, in the WLAN sensing process, the STA can also act as a sensing initiator, which can be a sensing transmitter, a sensing receiver, or both, or neither. In the WLAN sensing process, the sensing responder can also be a sensing transmitter, a sensing receiver, or both.

[0052] As another architecture, as shown in Figure 4 , the sensing initiator and the sensing responder can also be clients, and the two can communicate by connecting to the same access point device (AP); Figure 4 In the example of FIG. 6, Client1 is the sensing initiator, and Client2 is the sensing responder.

[0053] In the WLAN sensing measurement process, in order to realize one-to-many communication between the STA as a sensing initiator and the sensing responder, the STA as a sensing proxy (SBP) initiator (hereinafter taking the STA as an example) initiates the SBP process; the AP as an SBP responder (hereinafter taking the AP as an example) proxies the STA to perform WLAN sensing measurement; and when the SBP sensing needs to be terminated (or stopped), the AP sends an SBP report frame to the STA; optionally, the SBP report frame can be a variant type of SBP request frame or SBP response frame. The SBP report frame carries a first identification bit, and the first identification bit indicates that the SBP report frame is the last (or the last one) SBP report frame sent by the AP in the current WLAN sensing measurement process, thereby identifying that the subsequent AP will terminate the SBP process. Optionally, the first identification bit can be identified in the MAC frame header part of the SBP report frame, such as the more data subfield or the more fragment subfield of the MAC frame; or the first identification bit can also be identified in the frame body part of the SBP report frame, identifying that the SBP report frame is the last one.

[0054] Step 102, sending the SBP report frame to terminate proxying the WLAN sensing measurement process.

[0055] The AP sends the SBP report frame to indicate that the STA will terminate proxying the WLAN sensing measurement process; in this way, in the WLAN sensing measurement process, when the initiator device is the STA, the sensing measurement is performed by the AP proxying the initiator device, and the proxying of the WLAN sensing measurement is terminated through the SBP report frame, one-to-many communication is realized, and the waste of spectrum resources and the time delay caused by the STA as the initiator to perform WLAN sensing are reduced.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the SBP responder determines the SBP report frame, the SBP report frame includes a first identification bit, and the first identification bit indicates that the SBP report frame is the last SBP report frame sent by the SBP responder in the WLAN sensing measurement process; the subsequent SBP responder sends the SBP report frame to terminate proxying the WLAN sensing measurement process; the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a way of terminating proxying by the AP proxying the STA to initiate the sensing measurement process.

[0057] In an optional embodiment, the SBP report frame is a public action frame.

[0058] The public action frame (Pubic Action frame) includes a Pubic Action field corresponding to the SBP report frame and a Dialog Token field, and the first identification bit is carried in the Dialog Token field or the Pubic Action field. For example, the Pubic Action value in the Pubic Action field can be used to identify that it is an SBP report frame, or the value of the Dialog Token field can be used to identify that it is an SBP report frame, for example, the Pubic Action value is set to a value different from the SBP request frame and the SBP response frame, or the Dialog Token value is set to a value different from the SBP request frame and the SBP response frame.

[0059] As an example, refer to Table 1, which shows a format of the SBP report frame:

[0060]

[0061]

[0062] The first identification bit can be carried in the Dialog Token field or the Pubic Action field.

[0063] In an optional embodiment, the SBP report frame further includes a sensing measurement setup ID of the WLAN sensing measurement process. The sensing measurement setup ID identifies the sensing measurement process corresponding to the SBP. If a SBP termination message frame is subsequently sent, the Measurement setup ID in the SBP report frame is consistent with the Measurement setup ID in the SBP termination message frame.

[0064] Referring to Figure 5 The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a sensing agent SBP termination method. Optionally, the method can be applied to an SBP response end, which can be an access point device AP. The method can include the following steps:

[0065] Step 501, determining an SBP report frame; wherein the SBP report frame includes a first identification bit, and the first identification bit indicates that the SBP report frame is the last SBP report frame sent by the SBP response end in a WLAN sensing measurement process.

[0066] The architecture of the WLAN Sensing to which the sensing agent SBP termination method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is applied and the WLAN Sensing process are described with reference to the first example above, and will not be described again here.

[0067] In the SBP process, the AP acts as the SBP response end (hereinafter referred to as the AP for example) to proxy the STA to perform WLAN sensing measurement; and when the SBP sensing needs to be terminated (or stopped), the AP sends an SBP report frame to the STA; optionally, the SBP report frame can be a variant type of SBPrequest frame or SBPresponse frame. The SBP report frame carries a first identification bit, and the first identification bit indicates that the SBP report frame is the last (or the last) SBP report frame sent by the AP in the current WLAN sensing measurement process, which indicates that the AP will terminate the SBP process subsequently.

[0068] Step 502, the SBP report frame is sent.

[0069] Step 503, an SBP termination message frame (SBP Termination frame) is sent to terminate the WLAN sensing measurement process.

[0070] After the AP sends the last SBP report frame, the AP can continue to send the SBP termination message frame and terminate the SBP process.

[0071] Referring to Figure 6 The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a sensing agent SBP termination method, which can be applied to an SBP response end, and the SBP response end can be an access point device AP. The method can include the following steps:

[0072] Step 601, an SBP report frame is determined; wherein the SBP report frame includes a first identification bit, and the first identification bit indicates that the SBP report frame is the last SBP report frame sent by the SBP response end in a WLAN sensing measurement process.

[0073] Step 602, the SBP report frame is sent.

[0074] Step 603, an acknowledgement message corresponding to the SBP report frame sent by the SBP initiator is received.

[0075] After the STA receives the last frame of the SBP report frame, the STA can reply an acknowledgement message (ACK frame) to the SBP responder (AP), indicating that the STA has received the sensing measurement result, and the STA also confirms that the SBP sensing measurement process is terminated.

[0076] Step 604, in response to the confirmation message, terminating the proxying of the WLAN sensing measurement process.

[0077] Referring to Figure 7 The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a sensing proxy SBP termination method, which can be applied to a SBP initiator, and the SBP initiator can be a station STA. The method comprises the following steps:

[0078] Step 701, receiving an SBP report frame; wherein the SBP report frame comprises a first identification bit, and the first identification bit indicates that the SBP report frame is the last SBP report frame sent by a SBP responder in a WLAN sensing measurement process.

[0079] The architecture of WLAN Sensing and the WLAN Sensing process of the sensing proxy SBP termination method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure are described in the first example, and will not be described here.

[0080] In the WLAN sensing measurement process, in order to realize one-to-many communication between the STA as a sensing initiator and the sensing responder, the STA as a sensing proxy (SBP) initiator (hereinafter referred to as STA) initiates the SBP process; the AP as a SBP responder (hereinafter referred to as AP) proxies the STA to perform WLAN sensing measurement; and when the SBP sensing needs to be terminated (or stopped), the AP sends an SBP report frame to the STA, and the STA receives the SBP report frame. Optionally, the SBP report frame can be a variant type of SBP request frame or SBP response frame. The STA acquires a first identification bit carried in the SBP report frame, and the first identification bit indicates that the SBP report frame is the last SBP report frame (or the last one) sent by the AP in the current WLAN sensing measurement process, which indicates that the AP will terminate the SBP process subsequently. Optionally, the first identification bit can be identified in the MAC frame header part of the SBP report frame, such as the more data subfield or the more fragment subfield of the MAC frame; or the first identification bit can also be identified in the frame body part of the SBP report frame, indicating that the SBP report frame is the last frame.

[0081] Step 702, in response to the SBP report frame, terminating the SBP sensing measurement process.

[0082] The STA receives the last SBP report frame, and terminates the proxying of the WLAN sensing measurement process by the AP; in the WLAN sensing measurement process, the AP proxies the initiator to perform sensing measurement in the case of the STA as the initiator, and terminates the proxying of the WLAN sensing measurement by the SBP report frame, so as to realize one-to-many communication, and reduce the waste of spectrum resources and time delay caused by the STA as the initiator to perform WLAN sensing.

[0083] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the STA receives the last SBP report frame sent by the SBP response AP in the WLAN sensing measurement process, and terminates the SBP sensing measurement process; the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a way to terminate the proxying of the initiator in the AP proxying the STA to initiate the sensing measurement process.

[0084] In an optional embodiment, the SBP report frame is a public action frame.

[0085] The public action frame (Pubic Action frame) includes a Pubic Action field corresponding to the SBP report frame and a Dialog Token field, and the first identification bit is carried in the Dialog Token field or the Pubic Action field; for example, the Pubic Action value in the Pubic Action field is used to identify that it is the SBP report frame; or the value of the Dialog Token field is used to identify that it is the SBP report frame, for example, the Pubic Action value is set to a value different from the SBP request frame and the SBP response frame, or the Dialog Token value is set to a value different from the SBP request frame and the SBP response frame.

[0086] As an example, refer to Table 1, which shows a format of the SBP report frame:

[0087]

[0088] The first identification bit can be carried in the Dialog Token field or the Pubic Action field.

[0089] In an optional embodiment, the SBP report frame further comprises a sensing measurement setup ID of the WLAN sensing measurement process, the sensing measurement setup ID identifies the sensing measurement process corresponding to the SBP, and if a SBP termination message frame is subsequently sent, the Measurement setup ID in the SBP report frame is consistent with the Measurement setup ID in the SBP termination message frame.

[0090] The embodiments of the present disclosure further provide an SBP termination method of a sensing agent, which can be applied to an SBP initiator. The method comprises:

[0092] receiving an SBP termination message frame;

[0093] terminating the SBP sensing measurement process in response to the SBP report frame or the SBP termination message frame. After the AP sends the last frame of SBP report frames, the SBP termination message frame can be sent or not. When the SBP termination message frame sent by the AP is received, the STA terminates the SBP sensing measurement process.

[0094] The embodiments of the present disclosure further provide an SBP termination method of a sensing agent, which can be applied to an SBP initiator. The SBP initiator can be a station device STA. The method comprises:

[0097] When the STA receives the last frame of SBP report frames, an acknowledgement message (ACK frame) can be sent to the SBP responder (AP) to indicate that the STA has received the sensing measurement result, and the STA confirms termination of the SBP sensing measurement process.
