[0022] Figure 1 is an exemplary way to show WLAN awareness.

[0023] The flow of WLAN awareness can be that an initiator initiates WLAN awareness (e.g., initiates a WLAN awareness session), and there can be multiple responders to respond to it. The specific possible ways can be as shown in (a), (b) and (c) of Figure 1

[0024] Referring to (a) of Figure 1 In (a) of, when a WLAN awareness initiator (e.g., a client) initiates WLAN awareness, multiple associated or unassociated WLAN awareness responders (e.g., three access points (APs)) can respond. Here, “associated” can refer to that an associated connection for communication is established between the initiator and the responders, and “unassociated” can refer to that an associated connection for communication is not established between the initiator and the responders.

[0025] As an example, a client can include, but is not limited to, a cellular phone, a smart phone, a wearable device, a computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a personal communication system (PCS) device, a personal information manager (PIM), a personal navigation device (PND), a global positioning system, a multimedia device, an Internet of Things (IoT) device, etc.

[0026] ​An AP is a wireless switch for a wireless network and is also an access device of the wireless network. The AP can include a software application and / or circuitry to enable other types of nodes in the wireless network to communicate with the outside and inside of the wireless network through the AP. As an example, the AP can be a terminal device or a network device equipped with a Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) chip.

[0027] Figure 1 (b) in Figure 1 is similar to (a) in Figure 1 (b) in

[0028] Referring to Figure 1 (c), both the WLAN-aware initiator and the WLAN-aware responder can be clients, and both can communicate through connecting to the same AP.

[0029] Although it is shown in (a), (b), and (c) in Figure 1 that the client is the initiator and the AP is the responder, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, for example, the AP can be the initiator and the client can be the responder. In addition, the number of initiators and responders is not limited to that shown in (a), (b), and (c) in Figure 1 .

[0030] The WLAN-aware session initiated by the initiator can include one or more of the following phases: a setup phase, a measurement phase, a reporting phase, and a termination phase.

[0031] In the setup phase, the awareness session is established, and operational parameters associated with the awareness session are determined and exchanged between devices. In the measurement phase, awareness measurements can be performed. In the reporting phase, awareness measurement results can be reported. In the termination phase, devices stop performing measurements and terminate the awareness session.

[0032] In the current research, there is a lack of definition of the parameters used in each of the above phases, which is not conducive to the progress of WLAN awareness.

[0033] Therefore, the concept according to an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a communication method and a communication device applied to WLAN awareness.

[0034] Figure 2 is a flowchart showing a communication method according to an example embodiment. Figure 2 The communication method shown can be applied to an initiator of WLAN awareness.

[0035] Referring to Figure 2 In step 210, a first message frame is determined. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first message frame can be, for example but not limited to, a beacon frame, a MAC (Media Access Control) frame, an action frame, etc. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first message frame can include parameters for setting a WLAN awareness function. Embodiments of parameters carried in the first message frame will be described later with reference to Table 1.

[0036] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, there can be many ways to determine the first message frame, for example: the first message frame can be generated or configured according to at least one of the following situations: channel state, network situation, load situation, hardware capability of the sending / receiving device, service type, relevant protocol provision; the present embodiment of the present disclosure does not make specific limitations thereon. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first message frame can also be obtained from an external device, and the present embodiment of the present disclosure does not make specific limitations thereon.

[0037] In step 220, the first message frame is sent. For example, the initiator can send the first message frame carrying the parameters directly to the responder, or forward it to the responder via an intermediate device (for example, an AP as shown in (c) of FIG. 1), so that the initiator and the responder can perform the WLAN awareness function based on the carried parameters. Figure 1

[0038] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the definition of the parameters can be performed in the establishment phase of the WLAN awareness session. In other words, Figure 2 The communication method shown in (a) of FIG. 1 can be an operation performed in the establishment phase of the WLAN awareness session. By defining the respective parameters in the establishment phase of the WLAN awareness session, the devices can better perform awareness in the following phases (for example, the measurement phase, the reporting phase, the termination phase as described above).

[0039] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the parameters for setting the WLAN awareness function can be carried in the first message frame in the form of information elements, however the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the parameters can be carried in any other feasible manner.

[0040] Table 1 is an example of parameters for setting a WLAN awareness function (hereinafter, simply referred to as WLAN awareness parameters) according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0041] Table 1. Example of WLAN awareness parameters

[0042]

[0043] ​It can be understood that each content in Table 1 of the present disclosure exists independently, and the contents are exemplarily listed in the same table, but it does not mean that all the contents in the table must exist at the same time as shown in the table. In addition, those skilled in the art can understand that each content in Table 1 of the present disclosure and its value is an independent embodiment.

[0044] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the WLAN awareness parameter can include a dialog token for ensuring the security of the WLAN awareness session, such as the Dialog token in Table 1. Although only one dialog token is shown in Table 1, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and two or more dialog tokens can be included according to a security mechanism. The initiator and the receiver of the WLAN awareness session ensure the security of the WLAN awareness session through authentication of the dialog token.

[0045] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the WLAN awareness parameter can include a session identification, such as the Session ID in Table 1. The session identification can be used to verify the transmitted frames in the WLAN awareness session.

[0046] For example, the Session ID is an identification that the sender and the receiver of the WLAN awareness frame need to verify the frames transmitted in the entire process for completing the WLAN awareness within a period of time (including the frames transmitted by the initiator of the WLAN awareness). Specifically, the Session ID can be applied as an identification in each stage of the WLAN awareness session, for example, the Session ID can be carried in the frames transmitted in each stage of the WLAN awareness session, to verify that the transmitted frames correspond to the WLAN awareness session.

[0047] Although only one session identification is shown in Table 1, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, for example, the WLAN awareness parameter can contain the identification (i.e., Session ID) of multiple awareness sessions, and each awareness session can be time-division. By including multiple session identifications, the initiator or the responder can participate in multiple WLAN awareness sessions. That is, multiple WLAN awareness sessions can be defined in one WLAN awareness parameter, improving the efficiency of WLAN awareness. For the sake of simplicity, in the following, the embodiments in which the WLAN awareness parameter includes one session identification (i.e., one WLAN awareness session) are mainly described, and it will be understood that such embodiments can be applied to each of the multiple session identifications (i.e., each WLAN awareness session).

[0048] In a WLAN awareness session, there are multiple frame interactions between the sender and the receiver. In other words, a WLAN awareness session can include at least one session process, and the initiator and the responder of the WLAN awareness session can interact based on the session process. To this end, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the WLAN awareness parameter can include at least one session process identifier, such as Process ID 1, Process ID n (n is an integer greater than or equal to 1) as shown in Table 1. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, each session process identifier can be used to represent the interaction between the sender and the receiver of the WLAN awareness frame in the WLAN awareness session. As an example, the WLAN awareness frame can be an NDP (null data packet) frame, a ranging frame, or other frames for WLAN awareness, wherein the NDP frame contains a certain number of long training field (LTF) or short training field (STF).

[0049] Each session process identifier can represent one interaction (frame interaction) between the sender and the receiver of the WLAN awareness frame. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the interaction mode can be immediate feedback or delayed feedback. The following describes the interaction mode by taking the NDP frame as an example.

[0050] For the immediate feedback interaction mode, the sender sends multiple NDP frames, and the receiver feeds back multiple results, i.e., each time the sender sends an NDP frame, the receiver feeds back the NDP frame.

[0051] For the delayed feedback interaction mode, the sender sends multiple NDP frames, and the receiver feeds back the results at one time, i.e., after the sender sends multiple NDP frames, the receiver feeds back the multiple NDP frames at one time. For example, the feedback result can be channel state information (CSI), or received signal strength indicator (RSSI), etc.

[0052] Such one-time immediate feedback interaction or one-time delayed feedback interaction can be referred to as one session process, and in the WLAN awareness session, a session process identifier (Process ID) needs to be defined for each session process (NDP->feedback). In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the feedback result can not be fed back to the sender of the WLAN awareness frame, but to the initiator of the WLAN awareness session (the initiator can not be the sender and the receiver of the WLAN awareness frame). For example, as shown in Table 2, the initiator of the WLAN awareness session can be the sender of the WLAN awareness frame, and the responder of the WLAN awareness session can be the receiver of the WLAN awareness frame. Figure 1As shown in (c) in FIG. 6, the initiator of the WALN sensing session can be the client on the lower right side, and the sender of the WLAN sensing frame can be the AP. The feedback result of the WLAN sensing frame is fed back to the client as the initiator of the WALN sensing session, rather than the AP as the sender of the WLAN sensing frame.

[0053] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the WLAN sensing parameter can include an identification bit for identifying the number of occurrences of the at least one session progress identification, such as Number in Table 1. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the number of occurrences of the at least one session progress identification can be related to the number of interactions or the number of sending and feedback of the WLAN sensing frame. For example, the total number of session progress identifications is based on the number of times that the WLAN sensing session initiator (or the sender of the WLAN frame) sends the WLAN sensing frame (NDP frame or ranging frame) in one WLAN sensing session, or based on the number of times that the WLAN sensing session initiator sends the WLAN sensing frame and receives feedback. In the interaction mode of immediate feedback, the number of occurrences of the at least one session progress identification can be the number of times that the WLAN sensing session initiator (or the sender of the WLAN frame) sends the WLAN sensing frame (NDP frame or ranging frame) in one WLAN sensing session; in the interaction mode of delayed feedback, the number of occurrences of the at least one session progress identification can be the number of times that the WLAN sensing session initiator receives feedback.

[0054] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the identification bit (Number) for identifying the number of occurrences of the at least one session progress identification can be omitted from the WLAN sensing parameter. In this embodiment, the number of interactions can be determined based on the number of session progress identifications (i.e., the value of n).

[0055] By defining the session progress identification (Process ID) and / or the identification bit (Number) of the number of times, the initiator and the responder of the WLAN sensing session can perform multiple interactions of the WLAN sensing frame, and better perform the WLAN sensing.

[0056] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the WLAN sensing parameter can include an identification bit for identifying the manner of the WLAN sensing (hereinafter referred to as "sensing mode identification bit"), such as Sensing Mode in Table 1.

[0057] The sensing mode identification bit (Sensing Mode) can have one or more bit positions. Different WLAN sensing modes are identified by setting the sensing mode identification bit (Sensing Mode) to different values. For example, the WLAN sensing modes identified by the sensing mode identification bit (Sensing Mode) can be: a channel quality measurement (CSI) mode, a ranging mode, or a radar mode. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and other methods or modes that can be used for sensing are also included within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0058] By setting the parameters of the sensing mode identification bit (Sensing Mode), the WLAN sensing function can be selectively implemented in different sensing modes, increasing the flexibility and applicability of the system.

[0059] According to embodiments of the present disclosure, in the case where the mode of WLAN sensing is a channel quality measurement (CSI) mode, the transmission power of the device transmitting the WLAN sensing frame is the same in one WLAN sensing session. By setting the same transmission power of the WLAN sensing frame in one WLAN sensing session, it is helpful to perform WLAN sensing in a standardized manner, and better to implement the WLAN sensing function.

[0060] It will be understood that the above-described examples of WLAN sensing parameters described with reference to Table 1 are merely illustrative and not limiting of the present disclosure, for example, the order of each of the contents in Table 1 can be changed, or other contents can be added, or part of the contents therein can be omitted. For example, when the parameters are carried in the first message frame in the form of an information element, the WLAN sensing parameters shown in Table 1 can also include an element identification (element ID), a length (Length), and the like.

[0061] Figure 3 is a flowchart showing another communication method according to an example embodiment. Figure 3 The illustrated communication method can be applied to a responder of WLAN sensing.

[0062] Referring to Figure 3 In step 310, a first message frame is received, wherein the first message frame includes parameters (hereinafter referred to as "WLAN sensing parameters") for setting a WLAN sensing function.

[0063] According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the WLAN sensing parameters can include a session token for ensuring the security of a WLAN sensing session.

[0064] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the WLAN awareness parameter can comprise a session identification, wherein the session identification is used to verify the transmitted frames in the WLAN awareness session.

[0065] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the WLAN awareness parameter can comprise at least one session progress identification, wherein each session progress identification is used to represent the interaction between the sender and the receiver of the WLAN awareness frame in the WLAN awareness session. For example, the interaction can be in the form of immediate feedback or delayed feedback.

[0066] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the WLAN awareness parameter can comprise an identification bit used to identify the number of occurrences of the at least one session progress identification. For example, the number of occurrences of the at least one session progress identification is related to the number of interactions or the number of transmissions and feedbacks of the WLAN awareness frame.

[0067] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the WLAN awareness parameter can comprise an identification bit used to identify the manner of WLAN awareness. For example, the manner of WLAN awareness can be, for example but not limited to, a channel quality measurement manner, a ranging manner, or a radar manner.

[0068] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the case where the manner of WLAN awareness is a channel quality measurement manner, the transmission power of the device transmitting the WLAN awareness frame is the same in one WLAN awareness session.

[0069] The parameters described above with reference to Table 1 related to the at least one WLAN awareness session can be applied here, and the repeated description is omitted here to avoid redundancy.

[0070] In step 320, a communication operation is performed based on the first message frame. For example, a WLAN awareness session can be performed according to the WLAN awareness parameter carried in the first message frame. For example, the WLAN awareness can be implemented by performing multiple interactions of WLAN frames in a suitable awareness manner according to the session progress identification, the awareness manner identification bit, and the like in the WLAN awareness parameter.
