Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communications, and in particular to a sensing method, apparatus, and network equipment. Background Art

[0002] Future mobile communication systems, such as B5G or 6G, will possess not only communication capabilities but also perception capabilities. Perception refers to the ability of one or more devices to sense the position, distance, and speed of a target object through the transmission and reception of wireless signals, or to detect, track, identify, and image a target object, event, or environment. With the deployment of small base stations with high-frequency and large-bandwidth capabilities, such as millimeter-wave and terahertz signals, in 6G networks, the perception resolution will be significantly improved compared to centimeter-wave signals, enabling 6G networks to provide more refined perception services.

[0003] The purposes of perception fall into two main categories. The first category involves perception used to assist or enhance communications. For example, a base station tracks a device's movement to provide more accurate beamforming. The other category involves perception not directly related to communications, such as a base station monitoring weather conditions through wireless signals or a mobile phone recognizing user gestures through millimeter-wave wireless sensing.

[0004] Perception methods can be divided into the following categories:

[0005] (1) Active sensing: The device uses the reflected signal of its own transmitted signal, such as the echo, for sensing. The transceiver is located in the same position and can use different antennas to sense the surrounding environment information of the device;

[0006] (2) Passive sensing: The transceivers are located at different locations, and the receiver uses the wireless signals transmitted by the transmitter for sensing. For example, base station A senses the environmental information between base stations A and B by receiving wireless signals from base station B.

[0007] (3) Interactive perception: The perceiver and the target object exchange information and agree on the subject, time, frequency, format, etc. of the electromagnetic wave transmission to complete the perception process.

[0008] There is no related process of wireless sensing in the existing technology, resulting in an incomplete communication process. Summary of the Invention

[0041] Table 1 shows the functions and applications of wireless sensing.

[0042] Table 1 Functions and applications of wireless sensing

[0043]

[0044]

[0045] The perception functions in Table 1 or other perception requirements can be achieved by sending perception signals and receiving / detecting perception signals; wherein, the devices sending perception signals and receiving / detecting perception signals can be the same device or different devices.

[0046] Synaesthesia integrated design is feasible from the following four aspects:

[0047] Both the communication system and the perception system are based on electromagnetic wave theory, using the emission and reception of electromagnetic waves to acquire and transmit information;

[0048] Both the communication system and the perception system have structures such as antennas, transmitters, receivers, and signal processors, and have a large overlap in hardware resources;

[0049] With the development of technology, the two have more and more overlaps in operating frequency bands;

[0050] There are similarities in key technologies such as signal modulation and reception detection, and waveform design.

[0051] The air interface design of the B5G system or 6G system will support both wireless communication signals and wireless perception signals. Through integrated communication and perception means such as signal joint design and / or hardware sharing, it will achieve integrated design of communication and perception functions, and have perception capabilities or provide perception services while transmitting information.

[0052] The benefits of synaesthesia integration include the following aspects:

[0053] Cost savings;

[0054] Reduce equipment size;

[0055] Reduce device power consumption;

[0056] Improve spectrum efficiency;

[0057] Reduce mutual interference between synaesthesia and improve system performance.

[0058] There is no clear definition of the scope of synaesthesia integration at present. In a broad sense, synaesthesia integration includes the following:

[0059] The same network provides communication services and perception services;

[0060] The same terminal provides communication services and perception services;

[0061] The same spectrum provides communication services and sensing services;

[0062] The integrated synaesthesia service is completed in the same radio transmission, that is, the joint design of communication signals and perception signals.

[0063] The schematic diagram of the integrated classification of waveforms for perception and communication is as follows Figure 3 shown.

[0064] The following describes in detail the sensing method, apparatus, and network device provided in the embodiments of the present application through some embodiments and their application scenarios in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0065] like Figure 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a perception method, including:

[0066] Step 401: The first network device sends a sensing signal;

[0067] In step 402, the first network device detects an echo of the perception signal based on a measurement quantity of the perception signal, and obtains a measurement value corresponding to the measurement quantity.

[0068] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application are mainly aimed at the base station sending the perception signal, and the base station receives the perception signal for detection to obtain the measurement value. That is to say, the first network device mentioned in the embodiments of the present application refers to the base station located on the access network side; the second network device mentioned in the embodiments of the present application can be the mobility and access management function (AMF) entity on the core network side; the second network device can also be a perception function entity, for example, it can be called a perception network function entity or a perception network element, and the perception function entity can be located on the core network side or on the access network side; the second network device can also be other functional entities on the core network side.

[0069] It should be noted that the first network device may determine the measurement amount of the perception signal in at least one of the following ways, including:

[0070] A11. Receive first indication information sent by a second network device, where the first indication information is used to indicate a measurement amount of the perception signal that the first network device needs to measure;

[0071] That is to say, in this case, the measurement quantity of the perception signal is sent to the base station by the AMF or the perception function entity.

[0072] A12. Determine a measurement quantity of the perception signal according to the first perception requirement.

[0073] That is to say, in this case, the measurement amount of the perception signal is determined by the first network device itself according to the first perception requirement; optionally, the first perception requirement can be sent to the terminal by the second network device; or it can be generated by the second network device.

[0074] It should also be noted that, in order to accurately send the perception signal, the first network device needs to determine the configuration information of the perception signal before sending the perception signal.

[0075] Specifically, the first network device determines the configuration information of the sensing signal, including at least one of the following:

[0076] B11. The first network device receives first configuration information of a sensing signal, where the first configuration information is sent by the second network device.

[0077] B12. The first network device determines second configuration information of the sensing signal based on the first information;

[0078] The first information includes at least one of the following:

[0079] B121, first perceived needs;

[0080] It should be noted that the first perception requirement is sent by the second network device to the first network device.

[0081] B122. First recommendation information of the configuration information, where the first recommendation information is determined by the second network device according to the first perception requirement.

[0082] It should be noted here that the configuration information of the perception signal can be only notified to the base station by the AMF. In this case, the first configuration information contains all the configurations of the perception signal; the configuration information of the perception signal can also be determined only by the base station itself. In this case, the second configuration information contains all the configurations of the perception signal; the configuration information of the perception signal can also be jointly determined by the base station and the AMF entity (or perception function entity), that is, each device only determines some parameters or some configuration information in the configuration information of the perception signal.

[0083] For example, the configuration information of the perception signal includes three configuration parameters A, B, and C. When the configuration information of the perception signal is only notified to the base station by the AMF entity or the perception function entity, the first configuration information includes the three configuration parameters A, B, and C of the perception signal; when the configuration information of the perception signal is only determined by the base station itself, the second configuration information includes the three configuration parameters A, B, and C of the perception signal; when the configuration information of the perception signal is jointly determined by the base station and the AMF, the first configuration information includes part of the three configuration parameters A, B, and C of the perception signal (for example, the first configuration information includes A), and the second configuration information includes another part of the three configuration parameters A, B, and C of the perception signal (for example, the first configuration information includes B and C).

[0084] It should be further noted that the second network device may determine the first configuration information of the sensing signal in the following manner:

[0085] determining first configuration information of the perception signal according to the third information;

[0086] The third information includes at least one of the following:

[0087] B21, first perceived needs;

[0088] B22. Sensing capability information sent by the first network device;

[0089] B23. Second recommendation information of the configuration information, where the second recommendation information is determined by the first network device according to the first perception requirement and sent to the second network device.

[0090] It should be further noted that the first perception requirement in the embodiment of the present application is associated with at least one of the following:

[0091] C11, perceived objects;

[0092] Optionally, the sensing object includes but is not limited to at least one of an object, a device, a person, an animal, a building, a car, an environment, air quality, humidity, temperature and a specific area (ie, a certain area).

[0093] C12, perceived quantity;

[0094] Optionally, the perception quantity includes but is not limited to: at least one of the position of the perception object, the distance of the perception object, the moving speed of the perception object, the imaging of the perception object, the motion trajectory of the perception object, and the texture analysis and material analysis of the perception object.

[0095] C13, perception indicators;

[0096] Optionally, the perception indicator includes but is not limited to: at least one of perception accuracy, perception error, perception range, perception delay, detection probability and false alarm probability;

[0097] Specifically, the perception accuracy includes: distance resolution, imaging resolution, moving speed resolution or angle resolution; the perception error includes: distance error, imaging error or moving speed error.

[0098] It should be noted that the combination of the perceived object and the perceived quantity is the perception result.

[0099] Optionally, the first perception requirement may also be associated with configuration information of the perception signal or a measurement quantity of the perception signal.

[0100] As shown in Table 2, the first perception requirement can be divided into several perception categories, each of which is associated with at least one of the configuration information of the perception signal and the measurement quantity of the perception signal. The association relationship can be agreed upon by a protocol or notified through signaling between different devices. If a device has a perception requirement, for example, the perception requirement requires another device (e.g., a terminal) to measure and feedback measurement quantities related to environment reconstruction, then the perception requirement is perception index 1. Optionally, the terminal device obtains perception index 1 based on signaling sent by other devices, and determines the configuration information of the perception signal and / or the measurement quantity of the perception signal based on perception index 1 and Table 2.

[0101] Table 2 Relationship between perception classification, perception signal configuration information and measurement quantity

[0102]

[0103] Optionally, in another embodiment of the present application, after the first network device obtains the measurement value corresponding to the measurement quantity, the method further includes any one of the following:

[0104] D11. Send the measurement quantity and the measurement value corresponding to the measurement quantity to a second network device;

[0105] Optionally, in this case, the second network device can determine the perception result based on the measurement quantity and the measurement value corresponding to the measurement quantity, and send the perception result to the terminal (corresponding to the case where the terminal initiates the perception service) or the third network device (corresponding to the case where other devices other than the terminal initiate the perception service). Specifically, the third network device can be other base stations, that is, base stations other than those that measure the perception signal, other network elements in the core network, such as application servers (this case corresponds to the case where a third-party application initiates the perception service), network management systems, etc.

[0106] Optionally, in this case, the second network device may send the measurement quantity and the measurement value corresponding to the measurement quantity to the terminal or the third network device, and the terminal or the third network device may convert the perception result by itself.

[0107] D12. Determine a perception result based on the measurement quantity and the measurement value corresponding to the measurement quantity, and send the perception result to the second network device;

[0108] Optionally, the measurement quantity and the measurement value corresponding to the measurement quantity are the perception result.

[0109] It should be noted that, in this case, after receiving the perception result, the second network device may send the perception result to the terminal or the third network device.

[0110] The following example uses the perspective of the sensing service initiator to illustrate the actions that the base station needs to perform after obtaining the measurement data:

[0114] It should also be noted that the perception result in the embodiment of the present application includes at least one of the following:

[0119] E13. Relevant information about the target environment;

[0120] For example, relevant information about the target environment may include humidity, brightness, temperature and humidity, atmospheric pressure, air quality, weather conditions, topography, building / vegetation distribution, headcount, crowd density, vehicle density, etc.

[0121] Optionally, the perception result of the embodiment of the present application may further include at least one of the following:

[0122] E101, the location of the target object;

[0129] E108, Humidity of target environment;

[0130] E109, target environment temperature;

[0131] E110. Air quality of the target environment.

[0132] The perception function entity in the embodiment of the present application satisfies at least one of the following conditions:

[0140] F108, support the cancellation of cyclical or triggered perceptual behaviors;

[0141] F109, corresponding to at least one AMF entity;

[0142] That is to say, multiple perception function entities can correspond to one AMF entity, or one perception function entity can be connected to multiple AMF entities.

[0143] F110. Determine a sensing mode based on the second information;

[0144] The second information includes: at least one of the type of the sensing client, the sensing quality of service (QoS), the sensing capability of the terminal, and the sensing capability of the first network device;

[0145] The sensing mode is associated with an entity that receives and sends the sensing signal. Specifically, the relationship between the entity corresponding to the sensing mode and the receiving and sending signal includes at least one of the following:

[0146] F1101: The first network node sends a perception signal, and the second network node receives the perception signal.

[0147] This situation refers to that base station A sends a sensing signal and base station B receives the sensing signal.

[0148] F1102. The first network node sends and receives a perception signal;

[0149] This situation refers to that base station A sends a perception signal and base station A receives the perception signal.

[0150] F1103. The first network node sends a perception signal, and the terminal device associated with the first network node receives the perception signal.

[0151] This situation refers to that base station A sends a perception signal and the terminal receives the perception signal.

[0152] F1104. The first terminal device sends a perception signal, and the second terminal device receives the perception signal.

[0153] This situation refers to the situation where terminal A sends a perception signal and terminal B receives the perception signal;

[0154] F1105. The first terminal device sends and receives a perception signal;

[0155] This situation refers to the case where terminal A sends a perception signal and terminal A receives the perception signal;

[0156] F1106. The first terminal device sends a perception signal, and the first network node receives the perception signal.

[0157] This situation refers to that terminal A sends a perception signal and base station A receives the perception signal.

[0158] It should also be noted that the perception function entity can be located on the core network side or the base station side. If the perception function entity is located on the base station side, all processes of the perception service are completed on the RAN (for the case where the base station triggers the perception service, or the UE triggers the perception service); the perception function entity can be a separate functional entity / physical entity, or deployed in a general server of the core network as one of the core network functions, or deployed on the base station side as one of the functions of the base station; the perception function entity directly interacts with the application server (such as the operator's application server) for perception requests and perception results; or, the perception function entity interacts with the AMF for perception requests and perception results, and the AMF can directly or indirectly (through GMLC and NEF) interact with the application server (such as a third-party application server) for perception requests and perception results.

[0159] It should be noted that the configuration information of the sensing signal in the embodiment of the present application includes at least one of the following parameters:

[0160] H101, waveform of the sensing signal;

[0161] For example, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM), Single-carrier Frequency-Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA), Orthogonal Time Frequency Space (OTFS), Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW), pulse signals, etc.

[0162] H102, subcarrier spacing of the perception signal;

[0163] For example, the subcarrier spacing of the OFDM system is 30KHz.

[0164] H103, a guard interval of the sensing signal;

[0165] It should be noted that the guard interval refers to the time interval from the moment the signal ends to the moment the latest echo signal of the signal is received; this parameter is proportional to the maximum perception distance; for example, it can be calculated by 2dmax / c, where dmax is the maximum perception distance (belongs to the perception requirement). For example, for a self-transmitted and self-received perception signal, dmax represents the maximum distance from the perception signal receiving and transmitting point to the signal transmitting point; in some cases, the OFDM signal cyclic prefix (CP) can serve as a minimum guard interval.

[0166] H104, bandwidth of the sensing signal;

[0167] It should be noted that this parameter is inversely proportional to the distance resolution and can be obtained by c / (2×delta_d), where delta_d is the distance resolution (which belongs to the perception requirement) and c is the speed of light.

[0168] H105, burst duration of the sensing signal;

[0169] It should be noted that the burst duration is inversely proportional to the rate resolution (a perception requirement), which is the time span of the perception signal and is mainly used to calculate the Doppler frequency offset. This parameter can be calculated as c / (2×delta_v×fc); where delta_v is the velocity resolution and fc is the carrier frequency of the perception signal.

[0170] H106, the time domain interval of the sensing signal;

[0171] It should be noted that the time domain interval can be calculated by c / (2×fc×v_range); wherein v_range is the maximum rate minus the minimum speed (belonging to the perception requirement); and this parameter is the time interval between two adjacent perception signals.

[0172] H107, the transmission signal power of the sensing signal;

[0173] For example, the value is taken every 2dBm from -20dBm to 23dBm.

[0174] H108, signal format of the perception signal;

[0175] For example, the signal format may be a sounding reference signal (SRS), a demodulation reference signal (DMRS), a positioning reference signal (PRS), or other predefined signals, as well as related sequence format information.

[0176] H109, ​​the signal direction of the sensing signal;

[0177] For example, the signal direction may be the direction of a sensing signal or beam information.

[0178] H110, the time resource of the perception signal;

[0179] For example, the time resource can be the time slot index where the perception signal is located or the symbol index of the time slot; among them, time resources are divided into two types, one is a one-time time resource, such as one symbol sending an omnidirectional first signal; the other is a non-one-time time resource, such as multiple groups of periodic time resources or discontinuous time resources (which may include start time and end time), each group of periodic time resources sends a perception signal in the same direction, and the beam directions on different groups of periodic time resources are different.

[0212] Optionally, the measurement amount is a measurement amount for each antenna or a measurement amount for each sensing resource.

[0213] For example, the measurement amount is a measurement amount of each antenna (port) of the transmitting end or the receiving end, or the measurement amount is a measurement amount on each sensing resource, such as a measurement amount of each resource block (RB), subcarrier or RB group.

[0214] It should be noted that when the core network sends perception-related information to the base station, the core network or the perception network function entity / perception network element determines which base station is associated based on the target area, and determines the direction in which the base station sends the perception signal.

[0215] The following are some examples of specific applications in actual applications.

[0216] Specific application scenario 1: Base station A sends and receives sensing signals on its own, and a third-party application initiates sensing services. The network devices involved in this scenario are as follows: Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the implementation process in this case is mainly as follows:

[0217] Step S101: The application server receives a sensing request from a third-party application;

[0218] For example, the perception requirement is to perceive a three-dimensional map of the target area (the accuracy / resolution of the map is 5m). The target area can be a designated area, such as the area around a building, or the area around the target UE. The perception requirement can include information about the target area, such as the longitude and latitude (range) of the area.

[0219] Step S102: The application server (including an in-network server such as an IMS or an out-of-network server) sends the sensing requirement to the core network (such as an AMF) or the core network's sensing network function entity / sensing network element (if any);

[0220] Alternatively, the application server sends the perception requirement to the AMF, and the AMF forwards the requirement to the perception network function entity / perception network element;

[0221] It should be noted here that the perception network function entity / perception network element of the core network interacts with the target UE or the serving base station of the target UE for target information (target information includes processing perception requests, interactive perception capabilities, interactive perception auxiliary data, interactive perception measurement amounts or perception results) to obtain target perception results or perception measurement amounts (uplink measurement amounts or downlink measurement amounts); it can also interact with other network elements / functions in the core network based on the target area to obtain base station information that may require interaction information.

[0222] It should also be noted that if the AMF forwards the demand to the perception network function entity / perception network element, and multiple perception network function entities / perception network elements can correspond to one AMF, there is a problem of selecting the perception network function entity / perception network element (selected by the AMF):

[0223] The factors considered by AMF when selecting the perception network function entity / perception network element include at least one of the following: requested QoS (such as perception accuracy, response time, perception QoS level), access type (3GPP access / non-3GPP access), AN type of the target UE (i.e. 5G NR or eLTE) and serving AN node (i.e. gNodeB or NG-eNodeB), RAN configuration information, perception network function entity / perception network element capabilities, perception network function entity / perception network element load, perception network function entity / perception network element location, indication of single event reporting or multiple event reporting, event reporting duration, network slice information, etc.

[0224] Step S103: The core network (or perception network function entity / perception network element) sends the configuration information of the perception requirement or perception signal to base station A.

[0225] It should also be noted that the configuration information of the perception signal can also be associated with the perception requirement. It only needs to notify the perception requirement, and the receiving end determines the configuration information of the perception signal according to the perception requirement and the association relationship;

[0226] Optionally, the step of determining the configuration information of the perception signal according to the perception requirement (for example, determining the bandwidth of the perception signal according to the perception resolution requirement) can be completed in several ways;

[0227] Y11. Base station A reports its sensing capabilities (capabilities related to sending sensing signals, such as the maximum bandwidth for sending sensing signals and the maximum transmit power of sensing signals) to the core network, and / or base station B reports its sensing capabilities (capabilities related to receiving sensing signals, such as the maximum bandwidth for receiving sensing signals and supported sensing signal measurements) to the core network (AMF or sensing network function entity / sensing network element). The core network then determines the configuration information of the sensing signals based on the sensing requirements.

[0228] Y12. The base station determines the configuration information of the sensing signal according to the sensing requirements;

[0229] Y13. The core network determines configuration information for a portion of the sensing signals, and the base station determines configuration information for another portion of the sensing signals.

[0230] Y14. The core network recommends the configuration information of the sensing signal to the base station based on the sensing requirements, and the base station ultimately determines the configuration information of the sensing signal;

[0231] Y15. The base station recommends the configuration information of the sensing signal to the core network based on the sensing requirements, and the core network ultimately determines the configuration information of the sensing signal;

[0232] It should be noted here that the method for determining base station A is: the core network or the perception network functional entity / perception network element determines that the associated base station is base station A according to the target area, and determines the direction in which base station A sends the perception signal.

[0233] Step S104: The core network (or perception network function entity / perception network element) sends the measurement quantities related to the perception signal (such as AOA, AOD, delay, RSRP, radar spectrum information, etc.) to base station A (receiving base station); or,

[0234] The measurement amount is determined by base station A based on the sensing requirements and does not require separate signaling (mapping table from sensing requirements to measurement amounts)

[0235] Step S105: Base station A sends a sensing signal;

[0236] It should be noted that base station A sends the sensing signal in a beam sweeping manner.

[0237] Step S106: Base station A receives the sensing signal.

[0238] After receiving the sensing signal, the UE obtains a measurement value of the corresponding measurement quantity and can choose one of the following processing methods for the measurement value:

[0239] Processing method 1: Conversion of measurement value to perception result is completed in the core network or application server. In step S107, base station A sends the measurement value to the core network (or perception network function entity / perception network element);

[0240] Step S108: The core network (or the perception network function entity / perception network element) sends the measurement value to the application server, and the application server determines the perception result according to the measurement value; or

[0241] The core network (or perception network functional entity / perception network element) determines the perception result based on the measurement quantity and sends the perception result to the application server;

[0242] Step S109: The application server sends the sensing result to the third-party application.

[0243] Processing method 2: The conversion of measurement quantity to perception result is completed at the base station

[0244] Step S107: Base station A determines a perception result based on the measurement value, and sends the measurement result to the core network (or perception network function entity / perception network element);

[0245] Step S108: The core network (or the perception network function entity / perception network element) sends the perception result to the application server;

[0246] Step S109: The application server sends the sensing result to the third-party application.

[0247] It should also be noted that relevant information of base station A, such as antenna position, synchronization information (SFN start time), AI related information, etc., also needs to be sent to the node that completes the above conversion to assist in completing the conversion process.

[0248] It should also be noted that the billing function is completed in the core network or application server.

[0249] It should also be noted that the perception signal in the above process can be sent by multiple base stations, and the perception signal can also be received by multiple base stations; correspondingly, the base station A in the above process can be TRP A.

[0250] Specific application scenario 2: Base station A sends and receives sensing signals on its own, and the core network (or network management system, or base station) initiates the sensing service

[0251] The implementation process in this case is mainly as follows:

[0252] Step S201: The core network AMF sends the configuration information of the sensing requirement or sensing signal to the sensing network function entity / sensing network element (e.g., the requirement of the network management).

[0253] For example, the sensing requirement is to sense a three-dimensional map of a target area (with a map accuracy / resolution of 5 meters). The target area can be a specified area, such as the area around a building, or the area around the target UE. The sensing requirement can include information about the target area, such as the longitude and latitude (range) of the area.

[0254] Or the AMF receives the configuration information of the perception requirements or perception signals sent by the network management system and forwards it to the perception network function entity / perception network element;

[0255] Or the AMF receives the configuration information of the sensing demand or sensing signal sent by the base station and forwards it to the sensing network function entity / sensing network element (Note: the configuration information of the sensing demand or sensing signal of base station A may not be sent to the core network, but may be sent directly to base station B);

[0256] Step S202: The sensing network function entity / sensing network element (features are the same as those described in Example 1) sends the configuration information of the sensing demand or sensing signal to base station A (or, the AMF sends the configuration information of the sensing demand or sensing signal to base station A).

[0257] It should also be noted that the configuration information of the perception signal can also be associated with the perception requirement. It only needs to notify the perception requirement, and the receiving end determines the configuration information of the perception signal according to the perception requirement and the association relationship;

[0258] Optionally, the main implementation method of determining the configuration information of the perception signal according to the perception requirements (for example, determining the bandwidth size of the perception signal according to the perception resolution requirements, etc.) is described above and will not be repeated here.

[0259] Step S203: The core network (or the perception network function entity / perception network element) sends the measurement quantities related to the perception signal (such as AOA, AOD, delay, RSRP, radar spectrum information, etc.) to base station A (receiving base station); or,

[0260] The measurement amount is determined by base station A according to the sensing requirement, and no separate signaling indication is required (mapping table from sensing requirement to measurement amount).

[0261] Step S204: Base station A sends a sensing signal;

[0262] It should be noted that base station A sends the sensing signal in a beam sweeping manner.

[0263] Step S205: Base station A receives the sensing signal.

[0264] After receiving the sensing signal, the UE obtains a measurement value of the corresponding measurement quantity and can choose one of the following processing methods for the measurement value:

[0265] Processing method 1: The conversion of measurement quantity to perception result is completed in the core network

[0266] Step S206: Base station A sends the measurement value to the core network (AMF or perception network function entity / perception network element);

[0267] Step S207: The core network (AMF or perception network function entity / perception network element) converts the measurement value into a perception result.

[0268] If the core network's perception requirements come from the network management system, the core network sends the perception results to the network management system; or the core network sends the measurement data to the network management system, and the network management system converts the measurement data into perception results;

[0269] If the core network's perception requirement comes from the base station, the core network sends the perception result to the base station.

[0270] Processing method 2: The conversion of measurement quantity to perception result is completed at the base station

[0271] Step S206: Base station A determines a perception result based on the measurement value and sends the measurement result to the core network (AMF or perception network function entity / perception network element);

[0272] If the core network's perception requirements come from the network management system, the core network sends the perception results to the network management system;

[0273] If the core network's perception requirements come from the base station, the core network sends the perception results to the base station.

[0274] It should be noted here that if the perception network function entity / perception network element is deployed in the base station, an optional solution is that the entire perception service can not go through the core network.

[0275] It should also be noted that the perception signal in the above process can be sent by multiple base stations, and the perception signal can also be received by multiple base stations; correspondingly, the base station A in the above process can be TRP A.

[0276] Specific application scenario 3: Base station A sends and receives sensing signals, and the UE initiates sensing services

[0277] The implementation process in this case is mainly as follows:

[0278] Step S301, the UE sends the configuration information of the perception requirement or perception signal to the AMF through NAS signaling; for example, the perception requirement is a three-dimensional map of the perception target area (the accuracy / resolution of the map is 5m). The target area can be a specified area, such as the surrounding area of ​​a building, or the surrounding area of ​​the target UE. The perception requirement may include information about the target area, such as the longitude and latitude (range) of the area.

[0279] Step S302: The AMF sends the configuration information of the sensing requirement or sensing signal to the sensing network function entity / sensing network element.

[0280] Step S303: The sensing network function entity / sensing network element (the characteristics of the sensing network function entity / sensing network element are the same as those described in the specific application scenario 1) sends the configuration information of the sensing demand or sensing signal to base station A (or the AMF sends the configuration information of the sensing demand or sensing signal to base station A);

[0281] It should also be noted that the configuration information of the perception signal can also be associated with the perception demand. It only needs to notify the perception demand, and the receiving end determines the configuration information of the perception signal according to the perception demand and the association relationship.

[0282] Optionally, determining the configuration information of the perception signal according to the perception requirement (for example, determining the bandwidth of the perception signal according to the perception resolution requirement) mainly includes at least one of the following methods:

[0283] Y21.

The core network then determines the configuration information of the sensing signals based on the sensing requirements.

[0284] Y22. The base station determines the configuration information of the sensing signal according to the sensing requirements;

[0285] Y23. The core network determines configuration information of a portion of the sensing signals, and the base station determines configuration information of another portion of the sensing signals;

[0286] Y24. The core network recommends the configuration information of the sensing signal to the base station based on the sensing requirements, and the base station ultimately determines the configuration information of the sensing signal;

[0287] Y25. The base station recommends the configuration information of the sensing signal to the core network based on the sensing requirements, and the core network ultimately determines the configuration information of the sensing signal;

[0288] Y26. The UE recommends the configuration information of the sensing signal to the base station based on the sensing requirements, and the base station ultimately determines the configuration information of the sensing signal;

[0289] Y27. The UE recommends the configuration information of the sensing signal to the core network based on the sensing requirements, and the core network ultimately determines the configuration information of the sensing signal.

[0290] Y28. The UE determines the configuration information of the perception signal according to the perception requirements.

[0291] Step S304: The core network (or the perception network function entity / perception network element) sends the measurement quantities related to the perception signal (such as AOA, AOD, delay, RSRP, radar spectrum information, etc.) to base station A (receiving base station); or,

[0292] The measurement amount is determined by base station A according to the sensing requirement, and no separate signaling indication is required (mapping table from sensing requirement to measurement amount).

[0293] Step S305: Base station A sends a sensing signal;

[0294] It should be noted that base station A sends the sensing signal in a beam sweeping manner.

[0295] Step S306: Base station A receives the sensing signal.

[0296] After receiving the sensing signal, the UE obtains a measurement value of the corresponding measurement quantity and can choose one of the following processing methods for the measurement value:
