[0031] 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.

[0032] In this disclosure, the terminology used 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” 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 or all possible combinations of one or more associated listed items. For example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B together, and B alone. The character “ / ” generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an “or” relationship. The term “multiple” refers to two or more; therefore, in this disclosure, “multiple” may also be understood as “at least two.”

[0033] 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."

[0034] 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.

[0035] This disclosure provides a sensing measurement establishment method, an electronic device, and a storage medium to further improve the WLAN Sensing process and adapt to wireless sensing requirements.

[0036] The method and apparatus are based on the same concept of the application. Since the methods and apparatus solve problems in similar ways, the implementation of the apparatus and methods can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be described again.

[0037] As a first example, see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This illustration shows an application scenario example of the sensing measurement establishment method provided in this disclosure; wherein, the STA acts as a Sensing Initiator, and the AP acts as a proxy to perform WLAN sensing measurements with STA1 to STAn under multiple connections; the AP can also spontaneously initiate the sensing measurement process, and STA1 to STAn are the responding ends of the sensing session. Figure 1 As shown, the main steps include:

[0038] Step 1-1: The STA (Sensing Initiator) sends an SBP Request frame to the AP.

[0039] In steps 1-2, after the AP replies with an SBP response frame to the Sensing Initiator, it initiates the sensing measurement setup process.

[0040] Step 2: The AP can also initiate the sensing and measurement process spontaneously.

[0041] It is understandable that there is no order of execution between step 1 (step 1-1 and step 1-2) and step 2.

[0042] After that, the AP continues to execute steps 3-1, ..., 3-n, sending measurement setup request frames to multiple STAs respectively, which are identified as SBP process or sensing measurement process by the first identification information.

[0043] Subsequently, STA1 to STAN can execute steps 4-1, ..., 4-n respectively, to send a measurement establishment request frame back to the AP, and use the third identification information to indicate whether the measurement establishment request frame is accepted.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown in the illustration, this disclosure provides a method for establishing sensing measurements. Optionally, the method can be applied to an access point (AP) device. Optionally, in this disclosure, the AP is, for example, a device with wireless-to-wired bridging functionality, which is responsible for extending the services provided by the wired network to the wireless network. The station (STA) device is, for example, an electronic device with wireless network access functionality, which provides frame delivery services to enable information transmission.

[0045] The method may include the following steps:

[0046] Step 201: Determine a measurement establishment request frame; wherein the measurement establishment request frame includes first identification information, the first identification information indicating that the measurement establishment requested by the measurement establishment request frame is a sensing measurement process or a proxy sensing SBP measurement process;

[0047] Step 202: Send the measurement establishment request frame.

[0048] In WLAN sensing, there are sensing measurement processes and sensing by proxy (SBP) measurement processes. Specifically, when acting as a sensing initiator or sensing transmitter, the AP can communicate with multiple STAs simultaneously. However, the STA does not have this capability. When acting as a sensing transmitter, it can only communicate one-to-one with a single sensing responder. The AP acts as a proxy for the STA in the sensing measurement process, i.e., the SBP process.

[0049] During the WLAN Sensing process, the AP determines a Measurement Setup Request frame, which is used to request the establishment of the WLAN Sensing process. Specifically, the Measurement Setup Request frame includes first identification information, which indicates whether the measurement setup requested by the Measurement Setup Request frame is a sensing measurement process or a proxy sensing SBP measurement process, so that the sensing response end of the Measurement Setup Request frame (the STA that has established an initial association with the AP or has not established an initial association) can know the type of measurement process requested by the Measurement Setup Request frame.

[0050] Since the sensing response end can accept or reject the sensing measurement process initiated by the AP, for example, if the sensing response end cannot know the identity information of the SBP initiator, it may cause some security problems. Therefore, the sensing response end may reject the sensing measurement process initiated by the AP. Therefore, in this embodiment of the disclosure, the measurement establishment requested by the AP is identified as a sensing measurement process or a proxy sensing SBP measurement process by the first identification information, so that the sensing response end can determine whether to accept the measurement establishment requested by the AP based on the first identification information.

[0051] This disclosure provides a sensing measurement establishment method applied to an access point device (AP), the method comprising:

[0052] A measurement establishment request frame is determined; wherein, the measurement establishment request frame includes first identification information, the first identification information indicating that the measurement establishment requested by the measurement establishment request frame is a sensing measurement process or a proxy sensing SBP measurement process;

[0053] Send the measurement establishment request frame.

[0054] The first identification information is carried in the Sensing Measurement Parameters element of the measurement establishment request frame. As an example, the format of Sensing Measurement Parameter is shown in Table 1 below:

[0055] Table 1:

[0056]

[0057] For example, using a single bit in the Reserved field of the Sensing Measurement Parameter field in Table 1 to identify the first identification information, such as setting the first identification information to 1 to indicate that an SBP measurement process has been initiated; or setting the first identification information to 0 to indicate that a sensing measurement process has been initiated, then the format of the Sensing Measurement Parameter field is as shown in Table 2 below:

[0058] Table 2:

[0059]

[0060] This disclosure provides a sensing measurement establishment method applied to an access point device (AP), the method comprising:

[0061] A measurement establishment request frame is determined; wherein, the measurement establishment request frame includes first identification information, the first identification information indicating that the measurement establishment requested by the measurement establishment request frame is a sensing measurement process or a proxy sensing SBP measurement process;

[0062] Send the measurement establishment request frame.

[0063] The measurement establishment request frame includes second identification information, which identifies whether the SBP initiator of the SBP measurement process is an associated STA or a non-associated STA of the AP. An associated STA is one that has established an initial association with the AP, while a non-associated STA is one that has not. Establishing an initial association involves, for example, when an STA attempts to associate with the AP, it sends an association request frame to the AP. The AP responds with an association response frame and assigns an AID to the STA. For instance, setting the second identification information to 1 indicates an associated STA, while setting it to 0 indicates an initiation by a non-associated STA. The sensing response end can reject SBP measurement processes initiated by non-associated STAs.

[0064] This disclosure provides a sensing measurement establishment method applied to an access point device (AP), the method comprising:

[0065] A measurement establishment request frame is determined; wherein, the measurement establishment request frame includes first identification information, the first identification information indicating that the measurement establishment requested by the measurement establishment request frame is a sensing measurement process or a proxy sensing SBP measurement process;

[0066] Send the measurement establishment request frame.

[0067] The measurement establishment request frame includes second identification information, which identifies whether the SBP initiator of the SBP measurement process is an associated STA or a non-associated STA of the AP.

[0068] The second identification information is carried in:

[0069] The second identification information is carried in the sensing measurement parameter information element of the measurement establishment request frame, or in the TB sensing specific sub-element of the measurement establishment request frame; for example, one bit in the reserved field of the Sensing Measurement Parameter field in Table 1 can be used to identify whether the SBP initiator is an associated STA or a non-associated STA.

[0070] The second identification information can also be carried in a TB Sensing Specific subelement. As an example, the format of a TB Sensing Specific subelement is shown in Table 3 below:

[0071] Table 3:

[0072]

[0073] The second identification information can be carried in the Reserved field of the TB-aware specific sub-element.

[0074] This disclosure provides a sensing measurement establishment method applied to an access point device (AP), the method comprising:

[0075] Receive SBP request frames sent by the SBP initiator;

[0076] The second identification information is determined based on the TA information in the SBP request frame.

[0077] A measurement establishment request frame is determined; wherein, the measurement establishment request frame includes first identification information, the first identification information indicating that the measurement establishment requested by the measurement establishment request frame is a sensing measurement process or a proxy sensing SBP measurement process;

[0078] Send the measurement establishment request frame.

[0079] The measurement establishment request frame includes second identification information, which identifies whether the SBP initiator of the SBP measurement process is an associated STA or a non-associated STA of the AP.

[0080] The SBP request frame includes information elements such as SBP parameters. The AP determines whether the SBP initiator STA has established an initial association with the AP based on the TA (transmitter address) in the received SBP request frame. For example, the AP may have the TA of the STA that has established an initial association.

[0081] In addition, the SBP parameters information element also includes parameters such as the number of STAs participating in SBP sensing and measurement, and the sensing and measurement bandwidth.

[0082] This disclosure provides a sensing measurement establishment method applied to an access point device (AP), the method comprising:

[0083] Receive SBP request frames sent by the SBP initiator;

[0084] The second identification information is determined based on the TA information in the SBP request frame.

[0085] A measurement establishment request frame is determined; wherein, the measurement establishment request frame includes first identification information, the first identification information indicating that the measurement establishment requested by the measurement establishment request frame is a sensing measurement process or a proxy sensing SBP measurement process;

[0086] Send the measurement establishment request frame.

[0087] The measurement establishment request frame includes second identification information, which identifies whether the SBP initiator of the SBP measurement process is an associated STA or a non-associated STA of the AP.

[0088] The SBP initiator is a non-associated STA of the AP, and the SBP initiator participates in the sensing measurement. The AP assigns a user identifier (USID) to the SBP initiator. That is, if the SBP initiator is a non-associated STA, and subsequently participates in the sensing measurement process initiated by the AP agent as a sensing response terminal, then the AP needs to assign a user identifier (User ID, USID) to the SBP initiator to facilitate the identification of the identity information of the SBP initiator in the sensing measurement process.

[0089] This disclosure provides a sensing measurement establishment method applied to an access point device (AP), the method comprising:

[0090] A measurement establishment request frame is determined; wherein, the measurement establishment request frame includes first identification information, the first identification information indicating that the measurement establishment requested by the measurement establishment request frame is a sensing measurement process or a proxy sensing SBP measurement process;

[0091] Send the measurement establishment request frame.

[0092] The system receives a measurement establishment response frame sent by the sensing response terminal. This frame includes third identification information, which indicates whether the sensing response terminal accepts the measurement establishment request. The sensing response terminal can accept or reject the sensing measurement process initiated by the AP. The sensing response terminal uses the third identification information carried in the measurement establishment response frame to indicate whether it accepts the measurement establishment request.

[0093] This disclosure provides a sensing measurement establishment method applied to an access point device (AP), the method comprising:

[0094] A measurement establishment request frame is determined; wherein, the measurement establishment request frame includes first identification information, the first identification information indicating that the measurement establishment requested by the measurement establishment request frame is a sensing measurement process or a proxy sensing SBP measurement process;

[0095] Send the measurement establishment request frame.

[0096] Optionally, the first identification information is carried in the sensing measurement parameter information element of the measurement establishment request frame.

[0097] Optionally, the measurement establishment request frame includes second identification information, which identifies whether the SBP initiator of the SBP measurement process is an associated STA or a non-associated STA of the AP.

[0098] Optionally, the second identification information is carried in:

[0099] The measurement parameter information element of the measurement establishment request frame, or the TB-sensory specific sub-element of the measurement establishment request frame.

[0100] Optionally, before determining the measurement establishment request frame, the method includes:

[0101] Receive SBP request frames sent by the SBP initiator;

[0102] The second identification information is determined based on the TA information in the SBP request frame.

[0103] Optionally, the SBP initiator is a non-associated STA of the AP, and the SBP initiator participates in the sensing measurement, and a user identifier (USID) is assigned to the SBP initiator.

[0104] Optionally, after sending the measurement establishment request frame, the method further includes:

[0105] The sensor receives a measurement establishment response frame sent by the sensing response terminal; wherein the measurement establishment response frame includes third identification information, which indicates whether the sensing response terminal accepts the measurement establishment request.

[0106] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the AP determines a measurement establishment request. The measurement establishment request frame includes first identification information, which indicates that the measurement establishment requested by the measurement establishment request frame is a sensing measurement process or a proxy sensing SBP measurement process. This facilitates the sensing response end of the measurement establishment request frame to know the type of measurement process requested by the measurement establishment request frame and determine whether to accept the measurement establishment request frame based on the first identification information. This embodiment of the disclosure provides a method for establishing sensing measurements to further improve the WLAN Sensing process and adapt to wireless sensing requirements.

[0107] See Figure 3 This disclosure provides a method for establishing a sensing measurement. Optionally, the method can be applied to a sensing response terminal, which may be a STA that has established an initial association with the AP or has not established an initial association. The method may include the following steps:

[0108] Step 301: Receive a measurement establishment request frame; wherein the measurement establishment request frame includes first identification information, the first identification information indicating that the measurement establishment requested by the measurement establishment request frame is a sensing measurement process or a proxy sensing SBP measurement process.

[0109] In WLAN sensing, there are sensing measurement processes and SBP measurement processes. Specifically, when acting as a Sensing Initiator or Sensing Transmitter, the AP can communicate with multiple STAs simultaneously, but the STA does not have the above capabilities and can only communicate one-to-one with a single responder. The AP acts as an agent for the STA in the sensing measurement process, i.e., the SBP process.

[0110] The sensing response end receives a measurement establishment request frame sent by the AP during the WLAN Sensing process. The measurement establishment request frame is used to request the establishment of the WLAN Sensing process. Specifically, the measurement establishment request frame includes first identification information, which indicates that the measurement establishment requested by the measurement establishment request frame is a sensing measurement process or a proxy sensing SBP measurement process, so that the sensing response end (STA that has established an initial association with the AP or has not established an initial association) of the measurement establishment request frame can know the type of measurement process requested by the measurement establishment request frame.

[0111] Since the sensing response end can accept or reject the sensing measurement process initiated by the AP, for example, the sensing response end may not know the identity information of the SBP initiator, which may lead to some security issues. Therefore, the sensing response end may reject the sensing measurement process initiated by the AP. Thus, in this embodiment, the measurement establishment requested by the AP is identified as a sensing measurement process or a proxy sensing SBP measurement process by the first identification information, making it easier for the sensing response end to determine whether to accept the measurement establishment requested by the AP based on the first identification information.

[0112] This disclosure provides a method for establishing sensing measurements. Optionally, the method can be applied to a sensing response end, and the method may include the following steps:

[0113] Receive a measurement setup request frame; wherein the measurement setup request frame includes first identification information, the first identification information indicating that the measurement setup requested by the measurement setup request frame is a sensing measurement process or a proxy sensing SBP measurement process.

[0114] The first identification information is carried in the Sensing Measurement Parameter information element of the measurement establishment request frame. As an example, the format of Sensing Measurement Parameter is as shown in Table 1 above. For example, one bit in the Reserved field of Sensing Measurement Parameter in Table 1 is used to identify the first identification information. For example, if the first identification information is set to 1, it indicates that an SBP measurement process has been initiated; if the first identification information is set to 0, it indicates that a sensing measurement process has been initiated. The format of Sensing Measurement Parameter field is as shown in Table 2 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0115] This disclosure provides a method for establishing sensing measurements. Optionally, the method can be applied to a sensing response end, and the method may include the following steps:

[0116] Receive a measurement setup request frame; wherein the measurement setup request frame includes first identification information, the first identification information indicating that the measurement setup requested by the measurement setup request frame is a sensing measurement process or a proxy sensing SBP measurement process.

[0117] The measurement establishment request frame includes second identification information, which identifies whether the SBP initiator of the SBP measurement process is an associated STA or a non-associated STA of the AP. For example, setting the second identification information to 1 indicates an associated STA, and setting it to 0 indicates an initiator from a non-associated STA. The sensing response end can reject SBP measurement processes initiated by non-associated STAs.

[0118] This disclosure provides a method for establishing sensing measurements. Optionally, the method can be applied to a sensing response end, and the method may include the following steps:

[0119] Receive a measurement setup request frame; wherein the measurement setup request frame includes first identification information, the first identification information indicating that the measurement setup requested by the measurement setup request frame is a sensing measurement process or a proxy sensing SBP measurement process.

[0120] The measurement establishment request frame includes second identification information, which identifies whether the SBP initiator of the SBP measurement process is an associated STA or a non-associated STA of the AP.

[0121] The second identification information is carried in:

[0122] The second identification information is carried in the sensing measurement parameter information element of the measurement establishment request frame, or in the TB sensing specific sub-element of the measurement establishment request frame; for example, one bit in the reserved field of the Sensing Measurement Parameter field in Table 1 can be used to identify whether the SBP initiator is an associated STA or a non-associated STA.

[0123] The second identification information can also be carried in the TB Sensing Specific subelement. For example, the format of the TB Sensing Specific subelement is shown in Table 3 above. The second identification information can be carried in the Reserved field of the TB Sensing Specific subelement.

[0124] This disclosure provides a method for establishing sensing measurements. Optionally, the method can be applied to a sensing response end, and the method may include the following steps:

[0125] Receive a measurement setup request frame; wherein the measurement setup request frame includes first identification information, the first identification information indicating that the measurement setup requested by the measurement setup request frame is a sensing measurement process or a proxy sensing SBP measurement process.

[0126] A measurement establishment response frame is sent to the access point device (AP). This frame includes third identification information, which indicates whether the sensing response terminal accepts the measurement establishment request. The sensing response terminal can accept or reject the sensing measurement process initiated by the AP; it uses the third identification information in the measurement establishment response frame to indicate whether it accepts the measurement establishment request.

[0127] This disclosure provides a method for establishing sensing measurements. Optionally, the method can be applied to a sensing response end, and the method may include the following steps:

[0128] Receive a measurement setup request frame; wherein the measurement setup request frame includes first identification information, the first identification information indicating that the measurement setup requested by the measurement setup request frame is a sensing measurement process or a proxy sensing SBP measurement process.

[0129] Send a measurement establishment response frame to the access point device (AP); wherein the measurement establishment response frame includes third identification information, the third identification information indicating whether the sensing response terminal accepts the measurement establishment request.

[0130] Wherein, if the second identification information identifies the SBP initiator of the SBP measurement process as a non-associated STA of the AP, then the third identification information identifies the sensing response end as rejecting the measurement establishment request. That is, for an SBP process initiated by a non-associated STA, since it is difficult to verify the identity information of the non-associated STA, the sensing response end can refuse to measure the sensing measurement process.

[0131] This disclosure provides a method for establishing sensing measurements. Optionally, the method can be applied to a sensing response end, and the method may include the following steps:

[0132] Receive a measurement setup request frame; wherein the measurement setup request frame includes first identification information, the first identification information indicating that the measurement setup requested by the measurement setup request frame is a sensing measurement process or a proxy sensing SBP measurement process.

[0133] Optionally, the first identification information is carried in the sensing measurement parameter information element of the measurement establishment request frame.

[0134] Optionally, the measurement establishment request frame includes second identification information, which identifies whether the SBP initiator of the SBP measurement process is an associated STA or a non-associated STA of the AP.

[0135] Optionally, the second identification information is carried in:

[0136] The measurement parameter information element of the measurement establishment request frame, or the TB-sensory specific sub-element of the measurement establishment request frame.

[0137] Optionally, after receiving the measurement establishment request frame, the method further includes:

[0138] Send a measurement establishment response frame to the access point device (AP); wherein the measurement establishment response frame includes third identification information, the third identification information indicating whether the sensing response terminal accepts the measurement establishment request.

[0139] Optionally, if the second identification information identifies the SBP initiator of the SBP measurement process as a non-associated STA of the AP, then the third identification information identifies the sensing response terminal as rejecting the measurement establishment request.

[0140] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the sensing response end receives a measurement establishment request frame; wherein, the measurement establishment request frame includes first identification information, and the sensing response end determines whether to accept the measurement establishment request frame based on the first identification information by knowing the type of measurement process requested by the measurement establishment request frame; this embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for establishing sensing measurements to further improve the WLAN Sensing process and adapt to wireless sensing requirements.

[0141] See Figure 4 This disclosure provides a method for establishing a sensing measurement. Optionally, the method can be applied to a proxy sensing SBP initiator, which can be an associated STA or a non-associated STA of the AP. The method may include the following steps:

[0142] Step 401: Send an SBP request frame to the AP, instructing the AP to determine and send a measurement establishment request frame; wherein, the measurement establishment request frame includes first identification information, the first identification information indicating that the measurement establishment requested by the measurement establishment request frame is a sensing measurement process or a proxy sensing SBP measurement process.

[0143] In WLAN sensing, there are sensing measurement processes and sensing by proxy (SBP) measurement processes. Specifically, when acting as a sensing initiator or sensing transmitter, the AP can communicate with multiple STAs simultaneously. However, STAs do not have this capability. When acting as a sensing transmitter, they can only communicate one-to-one with a single sensing responder. The AP acts as a proxy for the STA in the sensing measurement process, i.e., the SBP process. In this embodiment, the SBP initiator sends an SBP request frame to the AP, requesting the AP to act as a proxy for the STA in the sensing measurement process, and instructs the AP to determine a measurement setup request frame. The measurement setup request frame is used to request the establishment of a WLAN sensing process. Specifically, the measurement setup request frame includes first identification information, which indicates whether the measurement setup requested by the measurement setup request frame is a sensing measurement process or a proxy sensing SBP measurement process. This allows the sensing responder (the STA that has established an initial association with the AP or has not established an initial association) to know the type of measurement process requested by the measurement setup request frame.

[0144] Since the sensing response end can accept or reject the sensing measurement process initiated by the AP, for example, if the sensing response end cannot know the identity information of the SBP initiator, it may cause some security problems. Therefore, the sensing response end may reject the sensing measurement process initiated by the AP. Therefore, in this embodiment of the disclosure, the measurement establishment requested by the AP is identified as a sensing measurement process or a proxy sensing SBP measurement process by the first identification information, so that the sensing response end can determine whether to accept the measurement establishment requested by the AP based on the first identification information.

[0145] This disclosure provides a method for establishing a sensing measurement. Optionally, the method can be applied to a proxy sensing SBP initiator, where the SBP initiator can be an associated STA or a non-associated STA of the AP. The method may include the following steps:

[0146] Send an SBP request frame to the AP, instructing the AP to determine and send a measurement establishment request frame; wherein, the measurement establishment request frame includes first identification information, the first identification information indicating that the measurement establishment requested by the measurement establishment request frame is a sensing measurement process or a proxy sensing SBP measurement process.

[0147] The first identification information is carried in the Sensing Measurement Parameters element of the measurement establishment request frame. As an example, the format of Sensing Measurement Parameter is as shown in Table 1 above. For example, one bit in the Reserved field of the Sensing Measurement Parameter field in Table 1 is used to identify the first identification information. For example, if the first identification information is set to 1, it indicates that an SBP measurement process has been initiated; if the first identification information is set to 0, it indicates that a sensing measurement process has been initiated. The format of the Sensing Measurement Parameter field is as shown in Table 2 above.

[0148] This disclosure provides a method for establishing a sensing measurement. Optionally, the method can be applied to a proxy sensing SBP initiator, where the SBP initiator can be an associated STA or a non-associated STA of the AP. The method may include the following steps:

[0149] Send an SBP request frame to the AP, instructing the AP to determine and send a measurement establishment request frame; wherein, the measurement establishment request frame includes first identification information, the first identification information indicating that the measurement establishment requested by the measurement establishment request frame is a sensing measurement process or a proxy sensing SBP measurement process.

[0150] The measurement establishment request frame includes second identification information, which identifies whether the SBP initiator of the SBP measurement process is an associated STA or a non-associated STA of the AP. An associated STA is one that has established an initial association with the AP, while a non-associated STA is one that has not. Establishing an initial association involves, for example, when an STA attempts to associate with the AP, it sends an association request frame to the AP. The AP responds with an association response frame and assigns an AID to the STA. For instance, setting the second identification information to 1 indicates an associated STA, while setting it to 0 indicates an initiation by a non-associated STA. The sensing response end can reject SBP measurement processes initiated by non-associated STAs.

For example, one bit in the Reserved field of the Sensing Measurement Parameter field in Table 1 can be used to identify whether the SBP initiator is an associated STA or a non-associated STA. The second identification information can also be carried in the TB Sensing Specific subelement. As an example, the format of the TB Sensing Specific subelement is shown in Table 3 above.

[0158] The measurement establishment request frame includes second identification information, which identifies whether the SBP initiator of the SBP measurement process is an associated STA or a non-associated STA of the AP.

[0159] The second identification information is determined based on the TA information in the SBP request frame. The SBP request frame includes information elements such as SBP parameters. The AP determines whether the SBP initiator STA has established an initial association with the AP based on the TA (transmitter address) in the received SBP request frame. For example, the AP may have recorded the TA of the STA that has established an initial association.

[0160] In addition, the SBP parameters information element also includes parameters such as the number of STAs participating in SBP sensing and measurement, and the sensing and measurement bandwidth.
