[0031] 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.

[0032] In this disclosure, the term "multiple" refers to two or more, and other quantifiers are similar.

[0033] 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.

[0034] 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.

[0035] 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."

[0036] For a sensing measurement report frame, the sensing measurement report frame may include the received signal strength indication value of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, and the received signal strength indication value of each receiving antenna can be indicated by a separate octet.

[0037] In WLAN sensing measurements, there is a feedback method for Channel State Information (CSI), and existing standards have clearly defined the CSI feedback method. Specifically, if the sensing receiver needs to include CSI in the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame, the sensing initiator needs to negotiate this during the sensing measurement establishment process. This can be achieved by including a flag bit in the sensing measurement parameter information element field to indicate that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes CSI.

[0038] For example, the sensing measurement parameter information element field includes a TB-specific sub-element field (as shown in the table below), which includes a CSI variation threshold field to indicate that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes CSI.

[0039]

[0040] 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.

[0041] The method and apparatus are based on the same disclosed concept. Since the methods and apparatus solve problems in similar ways, the implementation of the apparatus and methods can refer to each other, and repeated parts will not be described again.

[0042] As a first example, see Figures 1 to 3 First, the architecture and process of WLAN sensing measurement applied to the communication method provided in the embodiments of this disclosure will be introduced.

[0043] Figure 1 The diagram illustrates an architecture for WLAN sensing measurement; in this architecture, an initiator initiates WLAN sensing measurement (e.g., initiates a WLAN sensing measurement session), and multiple responders may respond to it, such as... Figure 1 The response terminals 1, 2, and 3 are shown in the diagram. When the sensing initiator initiates a WLAN sensing measurement, multiple associated or unassociated WLAN sensing measurement response terminals can respond.

[0044] Here, "association" can refer to the establishment of an initial association connection for communication between the sensing initiator and the sensing response end, while "non-association" can refer to the absence of an initial association connection for communication between the sensing initiator and the sensing response end.

[0045] See Figure 2 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.

[0046] Each sensing initiator can be a client; each sensing response (in this example, sensing response 1 to sensing response 3) can be a station (STA) or an access point (AP).

[0047] An Access Point (AP) is a wireless switch used in a wireless network, and also serves as an access device for the wireless network. An AP may include software applications and / or circuitry to enable other types of nodes within the wireless network to communicate with both the outside and inside of the wireless network. As an example, an AP can be a terminal device or network device equipped with a Wi-Fi chip.

[0048] As another architecture, such as Figure 3 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 3 In this context, Client1 is the sensing initiator, and Client2 is the sensing response provider.

[0049] The client can include, but is not limited to: cellular phones, smartphones, wearable devices, computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), personal communication system (PCS) devices, personal information managers (PIMs), personal navigation devices (PNDs), global positioning systems, multimedia devices, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, etc.

[0050] An access point (AP) can be a wireless switch for a wireless network or an access device for a wireless network. An AP may include software applications and / or circuitry to enable other types of nodes in the wireless network to communicate with the outside and inside of the wireless network. As an example, an AP may be a terminal device or network device equipped with a Wi-Fi chip.

[0051] As an illustrative embodiment, the WLAN sensing process may include: WLAN sensing session establishment, WLAN sensing measurement establishment, and WLAN sensing measurement termination. During WLAN sensing session establishment, a sensing initiator (e.g., an AP) may initiate a WLAN sensing session, a sensing responder (e.g., a STA) may respond to it, and operational parameters associated with the sensing session may be determined and exchanged between the devices. A WLAN sensing session establishment may include one or more WLAN sensing measurement establishments. That is, one or more WLAN sensing measurements may be established between the sensing initiator (e.g., an AP) and the sensing responder (e.g., a STA). For example, each WLAN sensing measurement may be identified using a corresponding measurement setup ID or by the MSID containing multiple sensing instance IDs. The WLAN sensing measurement corresponding to each measurement setup ID may include one or more WLAN sensing measurement events. A sensing measurement may be performed for each WLAN sensing measurement event.

[0052] The sensing measurement process can include multiple roles, such as a sensing initiator, a sensing responder, a sensing transmitter, and a sensing receiver. Specifically, for a given sensing process, the sensing initiator initiates the sensing measurement process, the sensing responder participates in the sensing measurement process initiated by the sensing initiator, the sensing transmitter sends NDP frames, and the sensing receiver uses the received NDP frames to perform sensing measurements and feed back the sensing measurement results to the sensing initiator. It can be seen that the functions of these roles do not conflict with each other; in other words, a device in the sensing measurement process can possess one or more of these roles. For example, the sensing initiator, sensing responder, sensing transmitter, and sensing receiver can be the same device or two different devices.

[0053] As an example, see Figure 4 The sensing initiator can act as the sensing transmitter, and any sensing response end can act as the sensing receiver. The sensing initiator initiates the sensing measurement process to the sensing response end and, as the sensing transmitter, sends an NDP frame to the sensing receiver. The sensing response end, as the sensing receiver, performs sensing measurements using the received NDP frame and sends the sensing measurement results back to the sensing initiator, i.e., sends a sensing measurement report frame.

[0054] This disclosure provides a communication method applicable to a sensing initiator. See details below. Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating a communication method provided in an embodiment of this disclosure.

[0055] Optionally, the method may include the following steps:

[0056] Step S51: Determine the first message frame. The first message frame includes a first identifier bit. The first identifier bit indicates the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame, which includes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, through a first value.

[0057] The perception measurement report frame includes the perception measurement results established by the perception initiator.

[0058] In this context, the RSSI of each receiving antenna at the sensing receiver can be represented by an independent indication value.

[0059] Step S52: Send the first message frame.

[0060] The sensing initiator can send a first message frame during the process of establishing a sensing measurement with the sensing response end. The first message frame can be any message frame sent by the sensing initiator to the sensing response end during the process of establishing a sensing measurement with the sensing response end.

[0061] As an example, the first message frame can be a sensing measurement establishment request frame. The sensing initiator sends a sensing measurement establishment request frame to the sensing responder. The sensing measurement establishment request frame includes a first identifier bit. When the identifier bit has a first value, it indicates that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver.

[0062] In the communication method applied to the sensing initiator provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, when the first identifier bit indicates by a first value that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, the first identifier bit indicates by a second value that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame does not include the RSSI.

[0063] In other words, the first message frame can indicate, through the first identifier bit, whether the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver.

[0064] As an example, such as Figure 6a As shown, the first message frame includes a first identifier bit. When the identifier value of the first identifier bit is a first value, the first message frame can indicate through the first identifier bit whether the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes or does not include the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver.

[0065] If the first value is 1 and the second value is 0, then when the first flag bit is 1, it indicates that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver; when the first flag bit is 0, it indicates that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame does not include the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver.

[0066] Optionally, when the first identifier bit indicates by a first value that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, the first identifier bit indicates by a second value that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the channel state information (CSI) of the sensing receiver.

[0067] The first message frame can indicate the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame through the first identifier bit, including the RSSI or CSI of each receiving antenna at the sensing receiver.

[0068] As an example, when the first flag value is a first value, the first message frame can indicate through the first flag that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver. When the first flag value is a second value, the first message frame can indicate through the first flag that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the CSI of the sensing receiver.

[0069] The first value and the second value are different values. For example, the first value can be 0 and the second value can be 1. There are no restrictions here.

[0070] In the communication method applied to the sensing initiator provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, when the first identifier bit is used to indicate whether the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, the first message frame also includes a second identifier bit.

[0071] Wherein, the first flag bit is used to indicate that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, the second flag bit is used to indicate that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame does not include the CSI of the sensing receiver, the first flag bit is used to indicate that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame does not include the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, and the second flag bit is used to indicate that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the CSI of the sensing receiver.

[0072] The third and fourth values ​​are different; for example, the third value can be 1 and the fourth value can be 0. No restrictions are imposed here.

[0073] In other words, the first message frame indicates whether the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver through the first identifier bit, and whether the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the CSI of the sensing receiver through the second identifier bit. If the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes either the RSSI or the CSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, it does not include the other one.

[0074] As an example, such as Figure 6b As shown, the first message frame includes a first identifier bit and a second identifier bit. When the identifier value of the first identifier bit is a first value (e.g., 1), the identifier value of the second identifier bit is a third value (e.g., 0). At this time, the first identifier bit is used to indicate that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, and the second identifier bit is used to indicate that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame does not include the CSI of the sensing receiver.

[0075] like Figure 6cAs shown, the first message frame includes a first identifier bit and a second identifier bit. When the identifier value of the first identifier bit is the second value (e.g., 0), the identifier value of the second identifier bit is the fourth value (e.g., 1). At this time, the first identifier bit is used to indicate that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame does not include the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, and the second identifier bit is used to indicate that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the CSI of the sensing receiver.

[0076] In the communication method applied to the sensing initiator provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, the first message frame further includes a sensing receiver field. The sensing receiver field indicates that the sensing response end is the sensing receiver end through a fifth value, that is, it is used to instruct the sensing response end to send a sensing measurement report frame as the sensing receiver end.

[0077] The fifth value can be 1, and there is no restriction here.

[0078] Optionally, the first message frame includes a sensing measurement parameters element field, which includes a sensing measurement parameters field, and the sensing measurement parameters field includes a sensing reception field.

[0079] As an example, the format of the sensing measurement parameters element field can be:

[0080]

[0081] Among them, Element ID is the element ID field, Length is the element length field, Element ID Extension is the element ID extension field, Sensing Measurement Parameters is the sensing measurement parameter field, and Sensing subelements is the sensing subelement field.

[0082] The sensing measurement parameter domain includes multiple sub-information domains, including the sensing receiver domain.

[0083] As an example, a portion of the format of the sensing measurement parameter domain can be shown below, which includes the sensing reception domain.

[0084]

[0085] In the communication method applied to the sensing initiator provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, the first message frame further includes a Sensing Measurement Report requested field. The Sensing Measurement Report requested field instructs the sensing response end to send a sensing measurement report frame through a sixth value, that is, it is used to instruct the sensing initiator to request that a sensing measurement report frame be sent to it.

[0086] The sixth value can be 1, and there is no restriction here.

[0087] Optionally, the first message frame includes a sensing measurement parameters element field, which includes a sensing measurement parameters field, and the sensing measurement parameters field includes a sensing measurement report request field.

[0088] In the communication method applied to the sensing initiator provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, the first message frame includes a sensing measurement parameter element field, the sensing measurement parameter element field includes a sensing measurement parameter field, and the sensing measurement parameter field includes at least one of a first identifier bit or a second identifier bit.

[0089] As an example, when the first message frame indicates through the first identifier bit that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI or CSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, the first message frame includes a sensing measurement parameter information element field, and the sensing measurement parameter field in the sensing measurement parameter information element field includes the first identifier bit.

[0090] As an example, when the first message frame indicates, through the joint indication of the first and second identifier bits, that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI or CSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, the first message frame includes a sensing measurement parameter information element field, and the sensing measurement parameter field in the sensing measurement parameter information element field includes the first and second identifier bits.

[0091] Among them, the first identifier bit and the second identifier bit are different identifier bits.

[0092] Optionally, the first and second identifier bits can be reserved bits in the sensing measurement parameter field.

[0093] As an example, a portion of the format of the sensing measurement parameter field can be as follows: the sensing measurement parameter field includes reserved bits, and different bits in the reserved bits can be used as the first flag bit and the second flag bit, respectively.

[0094]

[0095] In the communication method applied to the sensing initiator provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, when the sensing initiator and the sensing response end establish a trigger-based (TB) sensing measurement, when the first message frame indicates through the first flag bit or the second flag bit that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the CSI of the sensing receiver, the first message frame also includes a CSI change threshold, which is used to indicate that the CSI included in the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame is greater than the CSI change threshold.

[0096] As an example, when the first message frame indicates through a first flag bit that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame does not include the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, and indicates through a second flag bit that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the CSI of the sensing receiver, the first message frame includes a CSI change threshold.

[0097] As an example, when the first message frame indicates through a first identifier that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the CSI of the sensing receiver, the first message frame includes the CSI Variation Threshold.

[0098] In the communication method applied to the sensing initiator provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, when the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame indicates that the sensing receiver includes the CSI, the first message frame includes a sensing subelements field. Any independent information field in the sensing subelements field can be used as a CSI change threshold field, and the CSI change threshold field is used to indicate the CSI change threshold.

[0099] Optionally, the perception sub-element field includes a TB-specific sub-element field, which includes a CSI change threshold field for indicating the CSI change threshold.

[0100] As an example, the format of a TB-specific sub-element field can be as follows, which includes a CSI change threshold field.

[0101]

[0102] The communication method for the sensing initiator provided in this embodiment of the disclosure further includes: receiving a sensing measurement report frame.

[0103] The sensing measurement report frame includes a third identifier bit. The third identifier bit indicates, through a seventh value, that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, and through an eighth value, that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the CSI of the sensing receiver.

[0104] The seventh and eighth values ​​are different; for example, the seventh value is 0 and the eighth value is 1.

[0105] Optionally, the sensing measurement also includes a fourth identifier bit. In this case, the third identifier bit indicates, through a seventh value, that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, and through an eighth value, that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame does not include the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver. The fourth identifier bit indicates, through a ninth value, that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, and through a tenth value, that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame does not include the CSI of the sensing receiver.

[0106] The ninth and tenth values ​​are different; for example, the ninth value can be 1 and the tenth value can be 0. No restrictions are imposed here.

[0107] In other words, the sensing measurement report frame indicates separately by the third flag whether the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, and indicates separately by the fourth flag whether the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the CSI of the sensing receiver. When the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes either the RSSI or the CSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, it does not include the other one.

[0108] As an example, the sensing measurement report frame includes a third flag bit and a fourth flag bit. When the value of the third flag bit is the seventh value, the value of the fourth flag bit is the tenth value. In this case, the third flag bit is used to indicate that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, and the second flag bit is used to indicate that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame does not include the CSI of the sensing receiver. When the value of the third flag bit is the eighth value, the value of the second flag bit is the ninth value. In this case, the third flag bit is used to indicate that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame does not include the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, and the fourth flag bit is used to indicate that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the CSI of the sensing receiver.

[0109] In the communication method applied to the sensing initiator provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, the sensing measurement report frame includes a sensing measurement report container field, and the sensing measurement report container field includes at least one of a third identifier bit or a fourth identifier bit.

[0110] Optionally, the perception measurement report container domain includes a segmentation control domain, which includes at least one of a third identifier bit or a fourth identifier bit.

[0111] As an example, when the sensing measurement report frame indicates through a third identifier bit that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI or CSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, the sensing measurement report frame includes a sensing measurement report container field, and the segmentation control field in the sensing measurement report container field includes the third identifier bit.

[0112] As an example, when the sensing measurement report frame indicates, through the third and fourth flag bits, that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI or CSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, the sensing measurement report frame includes a sensing measurement report container field, and the segmented control field in the sensing measurement report container field includes the third and fourth flag bits.

[0113] Optionally, the third and fourth flag bits can be reserved bits in the segmentation control field.

[0114] This disclosure provides a communication method applicable to a sensing and response terminal. See details below. Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is another schematic flowchart of the communication method provided in the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0115] Optionally, the method may include the following steps:

[0116] Step S71: Receive a first message frame. The first message frame includes a first identifier bit. The first identifier bit indicates, through a first value, that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver.

[0117] When the identifier value of the first identifier bit is the first value, the first identifier bit can be used to indicate the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame, including the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver.

[0118] The perception measurement report frame includes the perception measurement results established by the perception initiator.

[0119] The sensing response end can receive a first message frame during the process of establishing a sensing measurement with the sensing initiator. The first message frame can be any message frame received by the sensing response end from the sensing initiator during the process of establishing a sensing measurement with the sensing initiator.

[0120] As an example, the first message frame can be a sensing measurement establishment request frame. The sensing response end receives the sensing measurement establishment request frame sent by the sensing initiator. The sensing measurement establishment request frame includes a first identifier bit. When the identifier bit has a first value, it is used to indicate that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver.

[0121] In the communication method applied to the sensing response end provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, when the first identifier bit indicates by a first value that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, the first identifier bit indicates by a second value that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame does not include the RSSI.

[0122] In other words, the first message frame can indicate, through the first identifier bit, whether the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver.

[0123] As an example, when the first flag bit has a first value, the first message frame can indicate through the first flag bit whether the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes or excludes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver.

[0124] Optionally, when the first identifier bit indicates by a first value that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, the first identifier bit indicates by a second value that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the channel state information (CSI) of the sensing receiver.

[0125] The first message frame can indicate the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame through the first identifier bit, including the RSSI or CSI of each receiving antenna at the sensing receiver.

[0126] As an example, when the first flag value is a first value, the first message frame can indicate through the first flag that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver. When the first flag value is a second value, the first message frame can indicate through the first flag that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the CSI of the sensing receiver.

[0127] The first value and the second value are different values. For example, the first value can be 0 and the second value can be 1. There are no restrictions here.

[0128] In the communication method applied to the sensing response end provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, when the first identifier bit is used to indicate whether the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, the first message frame also includes a second identifier bit.

[0129] Wherein, the first flag bit is used to indicate that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, the second flag bit is used to indicate that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame does not include the CSI of the sensing receiver, the first flag bit is used to indicate that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame does not include the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, and the second flag bit is used to indicate that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the CSI of the sensing receiver.

[0130] The third and fourth values ​​are different; for example, the third value can be 1 and the fourth value can be 0. No restrictions are imposed here.

[0131] In other words, the first message frame indicates whether the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver through the first identifier bit, and whether the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the CSI of the sensing receiver through the second identifier bit. If the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes either the RSSI or the CSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, it does not include the other one.

[0132] As an example, the first message frame includes a first identifier bit and a second identifier bit. When the identifier bit of the first identifier bit is a first value, the identifier bit of the second identifier bit is a third value. In this case, the first identifier bit is used to indicate that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, and the second identifier bit is used to indicate that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame does not include the CSI of the sensing receiver. When the identifier bit of the first identifier bit is a second value, the identifier bit of the second identifier bit is a fourth value. In this case, the first identifier bit is used to indicate that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame does not include the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, and the second identifier bit is used to indicate that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the CSI of the sensing receiver.

[0133] In the communication method applied to the sensing response end provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, the first message frame further includes a sensing receiver field. The sensing receiver field indicates that the sensing response end is a sensing receiver end through a fifth value, that is, it is used to instruct the sensing response end to send a sensing measurement report frame as a sensing receiver end.

[0134] The fifth value can be 1, and there is no restriction here.

[0135] Optionally, the first message frame includes a sensing measurement parameters element field, which includes a sensing measurement parameters field, and the sensing measurement parameters field includes a sensing reception field.

[0136] As an example, the format of the sensing measurement parameters element field can be:

[0137]

[0138] Among them, Element ID is the element ID field, Length is the element length field, Element ID Extension is the element ID extension field, Sensing Measurement Parameters is the sensing measurement parameter field, and Sensing subelements is the sensing subelement field.

[0139] The sensing measurement parameter domain includes multiple sub-information domains, including the sensing receiver domain.

[0140] As an example, a portion of the format of the sensing measurement parameter domain can be shown below, which includes the sensing reception domain.

[0141]

[0142] In the communication method applied to the sensing response end provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, the first message frame further includes a Sensing Measurement Report requested field. The Sensing Measurement Report requested field instructs the sensing response end to send a sensing measurement report frame through a sixth value, that is, it is used to instruct the sensing initiator to request that a sensing measurement report frame be sent to it.

[0143] The sixth value can be 1, and there is no restriction here.

[0144] Optionally, the first message frame includes a sensing measurement parameters element field, which includes a sensing measurement parameters field, and the sensing measurement parameters field includes a sensing measurement report request field.

[0147] As an example, when the first message frame indicates, through the joint indication of the first and second identifier bits, that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI or CSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, the first message frame includes a sensing measurement parameter information element field, and the sensing measurement parameter field in the sensing measurement parameter information element field includes the first and second identifier bits.

[0148] Among them, the first identifier bit and the second identifier bit are different identifier bits.

[0149] Optionally, the first and second identifier bits can be reserved bits in the sensing measurement parameter field.

[0150] As an example, a portion of the format of the sensing measurement parameter field can be as follows: the sensing measurement parameter field includes reserved bits, and different bits in the reserved bits can be used as the first flag bit and the second flag bit, respectively.

[0151]

[0152] In the communication method applied to the sensing response end provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, when the sensing initiator and the sensing response end establish a trigger-based (TB) sensing measurement, when the first message frame indicates through the first flag bit or the second flag bit that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the CSI of the sensing receiver, the first message frame also includes a CSI change threshold, which is used to indicate that the CSI included in the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame is greater than the CSI change threshold.

[0153] As an example, when the first message frame indicates through a first flag bit that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame does not include the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, and indicates through a second flag bit that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the CSI of the sensing receiver, the first message frame includes a CSI change threshold.

[0154] As an example, when the first message frame indicates through a first identifier that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the CSI of the sensing receiver, the first message frame includes the CSI Variation Threshold.

[0155] In the communication method applied to the sensing response end provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, when the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame indicates that the sensing receiver's CSI is included, the first message frame includes a sensing subelements field. Any independent information field in the sensing subelements field can be used as a CSI change threshold field, and the CSI change threshold field is used to indicate the CSI change threshold.

[0156] Optionally, the perception sub-element field includes a TB-specific sub-element field, which includes a CSI change threshold field for indicating the CSI change threshold.

[0157] As an example, the format of a TB-specific sub-element field can be as follows, which includes a CSI change threshold field.

[0158]

[0160] The sensing measurement report frame includes a third identifier bit. The third identifier bit indicates, through a seventh value, that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, and through an eighth value, that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the CSI of the sensing receiver.

[0161] The seventh and eighth values ​​are different; for example, the seventh value is 0 and the eighth value is 1.

[0162] In this context, the RSSI of each receiving antenna at the sensing receiver can be represented by an independent indication value.

[0163] Optionally, the sensing measurement also includes a fourth identifier bit. In this case, the third identifier bit indicates, through a seventh value, that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, and through an eighth value, that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame does not include the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver. The fourth identifier bit indicates, through a ninth value, that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, and through a tenth value, that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame does not include the CSI of the sensing receiver.

[0164] The ninth and tenth values ​​are different; for example, the ninth value can be 1 and the tenth value can be 0. No restrictions are imposed here.

[0165] In other words, the sensing measurement report frame indicates separately by the third flag whether the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, and indicates separately by the fourth flag whether the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the CSI of the sensing receiver. When the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes either the RSSI or the CSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, it does not include the other one.

[0166] As an example, the sensing measurement report frame includes a third flag bit and a fourth flag bit. When the value of the third flag bit is the seventh value, the value of the fourth flag bit is the tenth value. In this case, the third flag bit is used to indicate that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, and the second flag bit is used to indicate that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame does not include the CSI of the sensing receiver. When the value of the third flag bit is the eighth value, the value of the second flag bit is the ninth value. In this case, the third flag bit is used to indicate that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame does not include the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, and the fourth flag bit is used to indicate that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the CSI of the sensing receiver.

[0167] In the communication method applied to the sensing response end provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, the sensing measurement report frame includes a sensing measurement report container field, and the sensing measurement report container field includes at least one of a third identifier bit or a fourth identifier bit.

[0168] Optionally, the perception measurement report container domain includes a segmentation control domain, which includes at least one of a third identifier bit or a fourth identifier bit.

[0169] As an example, when the sensing measurement report frame indicates through a third identifier bit that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI or CSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, the sensing measurement report frame includes a sensing measurement report container field, and the segmentation control field in the sensing measurement report container field includes the third identifier bit.

[0170] As an example, when the sensing measurement report frame indicates, through the third and fourth flag bits, that the feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI or CSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver, the sensing measurement report frame includes a sensing measurement report container field, and the segmented control field in the sensing measurement report container field includes the third and fourth flag bits.

[0171] Optionally, the third and fourth flag bits can be reserved bits in the segmentation control field.

[0172] Based on the communication method provided in this embodiment, the sensing initiator can send a first message frame during the process of establishing a sensing measurement with the sensing response end. The first message frame can be used to instruct the sensing response end to send a sensing measurement report frame as a sensing receiver. The feedback content of the sensing measurement report frame includes the RSSI of each receiving antenna of the sensing receiver or includes the CSI of the sensing receiver.
