Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of wireless communication, and more particularly to a method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for performing a wireless sensing process. Background Technology

[0002] Wi-Fi sensing is a new technology that leverages existing Wi-Fi networks and devices to perform motion detection, gesture recognition, and biometric measurements using existing Wi-Fi signals. In Wi-Fi sensing, changes in the environment caused by the movement of objects, pets, and people are detected using CSI (Channel State Information) or Radar-based methods, without requiring the monitored objects to wear any devices.

[0003] The implementation of Wi-Fi sensing can provide more intelligent and diverse applications in fields such as smart homes, intrusion detection, healthcare, and intelligent remote care. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In wireless sensing, if the request is initiated by a non-AP (non-aperture point), i.e., the non-AP acts as the initiator, it is difficult for the non-AP to know which terminals can participate in the wireless sensing process during negotiation. Almost all applications are initiated by non-APs with application functionality, and these terminals lack the capability to know the status, location, or suitability of other surrounding terminals for participation. Furthermore, the participation of multiple terminals in the wireless sensing process provides diversity gain, acquiring more basic data. Through collaborative operation, uniform sensing signal measurement data can be obtained, which greatly improves the accuracy and precision of the final sensing result. Therefore, to improve the accuracy and precision of sensing, it is necessary to ensure that all eligible terminals participate in the wireless sensing process. In view of this, embodiments of this application provide a method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for executing a wireless sensing process.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

Where there is no conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0059] In the embodiments of this application, "at least one" refers to one or more, and "more than one" refers to two or more.

[0060] Typically, the wireless sensing process includes multiple phases such as discovery, negotiation, and measurement. In the wireless sensing process, the initiator initiates the process, and the responder responds. After both parties coordinate the roles, parameters, and reporting methods for sending and receiving sensing signals, the sensing and measurement process begins.

[0061] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a communication system provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the communication system includes access point AP1 101, terminal STA1 102, terminal STA2 103, and terminal STA3 104, wherein terminal STA1 102, terminal STA2 103, and terminal STA3 104 are all connected to access point AP1 101. It should be understood that... Figure 1This is merely a schematic diagram of a communication system architecture. The number of access points and terminals in the embodiments of this application is not limited. Those skilled in the art will understand that, based on the principles and functions described herein, the term "access point (AP)" according to this application can also be used to describe an access port or any other device capable of receiving and transmitting wireless signals within a network architecture. Therefore, the use of access points is merely exemplary.

[0062] In this embodiment of the application, it is assumed that terminal STA1 is the initiator of the wireless sensing process and access point AP1 is the responder of the wireless sensing process. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a method for executing a wireless sensing process, as provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the method for performing the wireless sensing process includes the following:

[0063] 201. STA1 sends a proxy sensing request message (such as a sensing by proxy request message) to AP1, requesting AP1 to perform the wireless sensing process as a proxy. The proxy sensing request message contains sensing service information.

[0064] For example, the agent sensing request message includes the parameter Sensing service Info, which is used to set sensing service information. Specifically, Sensing service Info can be a service requirement parameter or a specific measurement configuration parameter, etc. The service requirement parameter can be the wireless sensing distance range, the wireless sensing accuracy level, etc.; the measurement configuration parameter can be the bandwidth, transmission power, and measurement result type of the wireless sensing signal.

[0065] In some embodiments, before STA1 sends the proxy sensing request message to AP1, AP1 may also send a message containing an indication of whether it supports performing the wireless sensing process as a proxy to STA1. For example, AP1 may include the indication of whether it supports performing the wireless sensing process as a proxy in the connection response message sent to STA1 during the connection process with STA1, or it may send other specific messages containing the indication of whether it supports performing the wireless sensing process as a proxy to STA1. This application embodiment does not limit this. Specifically, AP1 including the indication of whether it supports performing the wireless sensing process as a proxy in the connection response message sent to STA1 during the connection process with STA1 includes:

[0066] 1001. STA1 sends a connection request message (such as an Association request message) to AP1, requesting to establish a connection with AP1.

[0067] 1002. AP1 sends a connection response message (such as an Association response message) to STA1, indicating its agreement to establish a connection. The connection response message also includes the following parameters:

[0068] Sensing by proxy supported: This indicates whether it supports executing the sensing process as a proxy. In this embodiment, it is set to 1, which means that AP1 supports executing the sensing process as a proxy.

[0069] AID: Used to indicate the connection identifier assigned by AP1 to STA1.

[0070] 1003. After receiving the Association response message, STA1 saves the parameters related to AP1 in the message.

[0071] In this embodiment, when STA1 needs to perform wireless sensing services, if the value of the saved AP1 parameter Sensingby proxy supported is 1, STA1 wants AP1 to act as a proxy to perform the wireless sensing process, so it sends a proxy sensing request message to AP1, requesting AP1 to act as a proxy to perform the wireless sensing process.

[0072] 202. AP1 sends a proxy awareness response message (such as a sensing by proxy response message) to STA1, indicating whether it agrees to the proxy awareness request.

[0073] For example, if AP1 agrees to STA1's proxy sensing request, it sets the status code parameter to success; otherwise, it sets it to reject. AP1 sends a proxy sensing response message to STA1, which includes the status code parameter. Optionally, if AP1 agrees to STA1's proxy sensing request, it can also set the proxy sensing process identifier (proxy sensing session ID) and set its value to STA1's identifier, such as STA1's address or AID. In this case, AP1 can also include the proxy sensing session ID parameter in the proxy sensing response message. This parameter indicates the proxy sensing process identifier, and its value is set to STA1's identifier.

[0074] 203. After receiving the agent perception response message, if STA1 indicates that it does not agree to the agent perception request, the operation of requesting AP1 to perform the wireless perception process as an agent will fail; if it indicates that it agrees to the agent perception request, the operation of requesting AP1 to perform the wireless perception process as an agent will succeed.

[0075] In some embodiments, if the received proxy sensing response message indicates agreement to the proxy sensing request, STA1 may also set the proxy sensing session ID, setting its value to the identifier of STA1. This embodiment assumes that AP1 agrees to STA1's proxy sensing request.

[0076] 204. AP1 and STA2 establish a sensing session, where STA2 is the terminal establishing a connection with AP1, and AP1 also assigns a connection identifier (AID) to STA2. For example, establishing a sensing session between AP1 and STA2 specifically includes:

[0077] 4001. AP1 sends a Perception Session Establishment Request message to STA2.

[0078] After receiving the sensing session establishment request message, STA2 sends a sensing session establishment response message to AP1, indicating whether the sensing session was successfully established.

[0079] 4003. After AP1 receives the sensing session establishment response message, if the sensing session establishment response message indicates that the sensing session was successfully established, then the sensing session between AP1 and STA2 is successfully established; if the sensing session establishment response message indicates that the sensing session was not successfully established, then the sensing session between AP1 and STA2 fails to establish.

[0080] Optionally, if AP1 and STA2 successfully establish a sensing session, AP1 and STA2 set a sensing session identifier (sensingsession ID), and AP1 and STA2 can use STA2's identifier, such as STA2's address or AID, as the sensing session identifier between AP1 and STA2.

[0081] 205. If the sensing session between AP1 and STA2 is successfully established, AP1 and STA2 will establish a sensing measurement process and obtain the sensing measurement results.

[0082] For example, under an established sensing session, AP1 and STA2 establish one or more sensing measurement processes, which may specifically include:

[0083] 5001. AP1 sends a sensing measurement process establishment request message to STA2. The request message contains sensing measurement parameters and a parameter called measurement setup ID used to identify the sensing measurement process. In this embodiment, it is assumed that its value is set to MSID_1.

[0084] 5002. AP1 sends a sensing measurement process establishment request message to STA2. The request message contains sensing measurement parameters and a parameter called measurement setup ID used to identify the sensing measurement process. In this embodiment, it is assumed that its value is set to MSID_M.

[0085] The sensing measurement parameters are set according to the sensing service information in the agent sensing request message. For example, when Sensing service Info is a service requirement parameter, AP1 can determine the transmission power and the bandwidth required for signal transmission based on the distance range or sensing accuracy level indicated by the parameter. When Sensing service Info is a measurement configuration parameter, AP1 can directly set the value of the corresponding sensing measurement parameter based on the value of the Sensing service Info parameter.

[0086] 5003. After receiving the perception measurement process establishment response message from STA2 agreeing to perform perception measurement, AP1 performs perception measurement with STA2 and obtains the perception measurement results. Optionally, a correspondence can be established between the perception session identifier and the perception measurement process identifier (such as MSID_1 and MSID_M) between AP1 and STA2.

[0087] 206. AP1 establishes a sensing session with STA3, where STA3 is the terminal establishing a connection with AP1, and AP1 also assigns a connection identifier (AID) to STA3. For example, establishing a sensing session between AP1 and STA3 specifically includes:

[0088] 6001. AP1 sends a Perception Session Establishment Request message to STA3.

[0089] After receiving the sensing session establishment request message, STA3 sends a sensing session establishment response message to AP1, which indicates whether the sensing session was successfully established.

[0090] 6003. After AP1 receives the perception session establishment response message, if the perception session establishment response message indicates that the perception session was successfully established, then the perception session between AP1 and STA3 is successfully established; if the perception session establishment response message indicates that the perception session was not successfully established, then the perception session between AP1 and STA3 fails to establish.

[0091] Optionally, if AP1 and STA3 successfully establish a sensing session, AP1 and STA3 set a sensing session identifier (sensingsession ID), and AP1 and STA3 can use STA3's identifier, such as STA3's address or AID, as the sensing session identifier between AP1 and STA3.

[0092] 207. If the sensing session between AP1 and STA3 is successfully established, AP1 and STA3 will establish a sensing measurement process and obtain the sensing measurement results.

[0093] For example, under an established sensing session, AP1 and STA3 establish one or more sensing measurement processes, which may specifically include:

[0094] 7001. AP1 sends a sensing measurement process establishment request message to STA3. The request message contains sensing measurement parameters and a parameter called measurement setup ID used to identify the sensing measurement process. In this embodiment, it is assumed that its value is set to MSID_2.

[0095] 7002. AP1 sends a sensing measurement process establishment request message to STA3. The request message contains sensing measurement parameters and a parameter called measurement setup ID used to identify the sensing measurement process. In this embodiment, it is assumed that its value is set to MSID_N.

[0096] 7003. After receiving the perception measurement process establishment response message from STA3 agreeing to perform perception measurement, AP1 performs perception measurement with STA3 and obtains the perception measurement results. Optionally, a correspondence can be established between the perception session identifier and the perception measurement process identifier (such as MSID_2 and MSID_N) between AP1 and STA3.

[0097] 208. After obtaining the measurement results, AP1 sends the measurement results to STA1.

[0098] 209. If AP1 fails to successfully establish a sensing session with either STA2 or STA3, it sends a proxy sensing termination message (such as a sensing by proxy termination message) to STA1. Upon receiving the proxy sensing termination message, STA1 terminates the proxy sensing process.

[0099] In some embodiments, if AP1 successfully establishes a sensing session with at least one of STA2 and STA3, STA1 sends a proxy sensing termination message (such as a sensing by proxy termination message) to AP1 when it no longer needs to continue the wireless sensing process. Upon receiving the proxy sensing termination message, AP1 terminates STA1's proxy sensing process. Optionally, after terminating STA1's proxy sensing process, AP1 may send a proxy sensing termination confirmation message (such as a sensing by proxy termination confirm message) to STA1 to indicate that the proxy sensing process has been terminated.

[0100] Optionally, after successfully establishing a sensing session, AP1 can establish a mapping between the identifier of STA1 and the identifier of the terminal that successfully established the sensing session. Specifically, if a sensing session is successfully established between AP1 and STA2, AP1 will establish a mapping between the identifier of STA1 and the identifier of STA2; if a sensing session is successfully established between AP1 and STA3, AP1 will establish a mapping between the identifier of STA1 and the identifier of STA3. After receiving the proxy sensing termination message sent by STA1, AP1 can send a sensing session termination message (such as a sensing session termination message) to the corresponding terminal, such as STA2 and / or STA3, according to the mapping between the identifier of STA1 and the identifier of the terminal that successfully established the sensing session, instructing the corresponding terminal to terminate the sensing session related to the proxy sensing process of STA1.

[0101] Optionally, after successfully establishing a sensing session, AP1 can also set the proxy sensing session ID and set its value to the identifier of STA1. In some embodiments, assuming that AP1 has successfully established sensing sessions with both STA2 and STA3, examples of the correspondence established by AP1 are shown in Table 1, or Tables 2 and 3.

[0106] Table 3

[0107]

[0108] If AP1 sets the sensing session ID to other values, that is, AP1 does not set the sensing session ID with STA2 to the ID of STA2, and does not set the sensing session ID with STA3 to the ID of STA3, then AP1 can also establish the correspondence shown in Table 4.

[0109] Table 4

[0110]

[0111] It should be noted that AP1 can set the proxy sensing session ID to other values, i.e., not to the STA1 identifier. In this case, AP1 can also establish the correspondence shown in Table 5.

[0112] Table 5

[0113] STA1 Agent Awareness Process Identifier STA1 logo

[0114] As shown in Table 6, AP1 can send measurement result 1 and measurement result 2 to STA1 in a proxy sensing report message (such as a sensing by proxy report message) according to the correspondence.

[0115] Table 6

[0116] STA2 logo MSID_1 Measurement Result 1 STA3 logo MSID_2 Measurement Result 2

[0117] Assuming the correspondence established by AP1 is as shown in Table 1, after AP1 receives the proxy sensing termination message sent by STA1, terminating STA1's proxy sensing process includes terminating the sensing session corresponding to the sensing session ID and the sensing measurement process established under that sensing session, based on the sensing session ID associated with the proxy sensing session ID corresponding to STA1's identifier. Specifically, this may include:

[0118] 1) AP1 sends a sensing session termination message to STA2 and STA3, which includes the sensing session ID and measurement setup ID associated with the proxy sensing session ID;

[0119] AP1 terminates the sensing session indicated by the sensing session ID and the sensing measurement process indicated by the measurement setup ID;

[0120] After receiving the sensing session termination message, STA2 and STA3 terminate the sensing measurement process indicated by the measurement setup ID in the message, and terminate the sensing session indicated by the sensing session ID in the message.

[0121] or

[0122] 2) AP1 sends a sensing session termination message to STA2 and STA3, which includes the sensing session ID associated with the proxy sensing session ID;

[0123] AP1 terminates the sensing session indicated by the sensing session ID, including terminating all sensing measurement processes indicated by the measurement setup ID associated with the sensing session ID;

[0124] Upon receiving a sensing session termination message, STA2 and STA3 terminate the sensing session indicated by the sensing session ID in the message, including terminating all sensing measurement processes indicated by the measurement setup ID associated with the sensing session ID in the message.

[0128] Sending module 2 is used to send a perception session establishment request message to at least one second terminal;

[0129] Receiving module two is used to receive a sensing session establishment response message sent by the at least one second terminal, wherein the sensing session establishment response message indicates whether the sensing session has been successfully established;

[0130] The execution module is configured to, if a sensing session is successfully established, establish a sensing measurement process with the terminal that has successfully established a sensing session, obtain the sensing measurement result, and send the measurement result to the first terminal; if a sensing session is not successfully established, send a proxy sensing termination message to the first terminal, instructing the first terminal to terminate the proxy sensing process.

[0131] Optionally, if a sensing session is successfully established, the execution module is further configured to establish a correspondence between the identifier of the first terminal and the identifier of the terminal that successfully established the sensing session.

[0132] Optionally, the execution module is further configured to:

[0133] Set the agent perception process identifier, and set the value of the agent perception process identifier to the identifier of the first terminal;

[0134] If a sensing session is successfully established, a sensing session identifier is also set, and the value of the sensing session identifier is set to the identifier of the terminal that successfully established the sensing session;

[0135] The step of establishing a correspondence between the identifier of the first terminal and the identifier of the terminal that successfully established a perception session includes:

[0136] Establish a correspondence between the agent perception process identifier and the perception session identifier.

[0137] Optionally, establishing a sensing measurement process with the terminal that has successfully established a sensing session, and obtaining the sensing measurement results, includes:
