Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of mobile communication technology. Specifically, this disclosure relates to a communication method, an electronic device, and a storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of mobile communication technology, Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) technology has made significant progress in transmission rate and throughput. Currently, research on Wi-Fi technology focuses on areas such as 320MHz bandwidth transmission, aggregation and coordination of multiple frequency bands, and its main applications include video transmission, Augmented Reality (AR), and Virtual Reality (VR).

[0003] Specifically, multi-band aggregation and coordination refers to devices communicating simultaneously in 2.4GHz, 5.8GHz, 6GHz, and other frequency bands. For scenarios where devices communicate simultaneously in multiple frequency bands, a new Media Access Control (MAC) mechanism needs to be defined for management. Furthermore, multi-band aggregation and coordination is expected to support low-latency transmission.

[0004] Currently, the maximum bandwidth supported by multi-band aggregation and coordination technology is 320MHz (160MHz+160MHz). In addition, it may also support 240MHz (160MHz+80MHz) and other bandwidths supported by existing standards.

[0005] Current research on Wi-Fi technologies may support Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) sensing technologies. Examples include applications such as location detection, proximity detection, and presence detection in dense environments (e.g., home and enterprise environments).

[0006] In WLAN sensing, the roles of Station (STA) and Access Point (AP) devices are often interchangeable; for example, both can act as Sensing Initiators or Sensing Transmitters. When acting as a Sensing Initiator or Sensing Transmitter, the AP can communicate with multiple STAs simultaneously, but the STA lacks this capability and can only communicate one-to-one with a single Sensing Responder. This leads to wasted spectrum resources and increased latency, potentially failing to meet latency requirements in scenarios with high latency constraints. To address this issue, a method of using APs to proxy STAs for WLAN sensing measurements has been proposed, known as Sensing By Proxy (SBP). However, the mechanism for the sensing receiver to feedback measurement results in the SBP scenario is not yet specified in existing technologies; therefore, a mechanism for this feedback in the SBP scenario is needed.

[0046] 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.

[0047] This disclosure provides a communication method, electronic device, and storage medium to provide a mechanism for the sensing receiver to feed back measurement results in an SBP scenario.

[0048] 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.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown in the illustration, this disclosure provides a communication method. Optionally, the method can be applied to a proxy sensing measurement SBP initiator, where the SBP initiator can be a site device (STA). The method may include the following steps:

[0050] Step 101: Determine the target radio frame; wherein the target radio frame includes a first identifier bit, the first identifier bit indicating whether the SBP response end feeds back the sensing measurement result.

[0051] As a first example, see Figures 2 to 4 First, the architecture and process of WLAN Sensing applied to the communication method provided in the embodiments of this disclosure will be introduced.

[0052] Figure 2 The diagram illustrates an architecture for a WLAN sensing process. The sensing initiator (or initiator terminal) initiates WLAN sensing (e.g., initiates a WLAN sensing session). Multiple sensing responders (or sensing receivers) may respond to this process, such as... Figure 2 The response terminals 1, 2, and 3 are shown in the diagram. When the sensing initiator initiates WLAN Sensing, multiple associated or unassociated WLAN Sensing response terminals can respond.

[0053] See Figure 3 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.

[0054] In this context, each sensing initiator can be a client; each sensing responder (in this example, sensing responder 1 to sensing responder 3) can be a station (STA) or an access point (AP). Furthermore, STAs and APs can assume multiple roles in the WLAN sensing process; for example, an STA can act as a sensing initiator, which may be a sensing transmitter, a sensing receiver, or both, or neither. Similarly, a sensing responder can also be a sensing transmitter, a sensing receiver, or both.

[0055] As another architecture, such as Figure 4 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 4 In this context, Client1 is the sensing initiator, and Client2 is the sensing response provider.

[0056] Typically, when acting as a Sensing Initiator or Sensing Transmitter, a STA (Sensing Initiator) lacks the capability to communicate simultaneously with multiple receivers. Therefore, a proxy device (e.g., an Access Point) is needed to perform sensing measurements on behalf of the STA. In an SBP (Sensing Buffer Block) scenario, the SBP initiator (e.g., the STA) determines a target radio frame, which carries a first flag indicating whether the SBP responder (e.g., the AP) should provide feedback on the sensing measurement results. For example, the target radio frame could be an SBP request frame. The SBP initiator sends an SBP request frame to the SBP responder, carrying the first flag: for example, setting the first flag to "1" indicates that the SBP responder needs to provide feedback on the sensing measurement results; setting the first flag to "0" indicates that the SBP responder does not need to provide feedback on the sensing measurement results.

[0057] Step 102: Send the target wireless frame.

[0058] The SBP initiator sends the target radio frame to instruct the SBP responder to determine whether to feed back the sensing measurement results of the SBP process based on the first flag bit, thereby improving the SBP process. If the first flag bit indicates that the sensing measurement results should be fed back, the SBP responder controls the sensing receiver to feed back the sensing measurement results during the SBP process and also feeds back the sensing measurement results to the SBP initiator.

[0059] Furthermore, WLAN sensing processes typically include both Triggered Based Sounding (TB) and Non-TB based sensing methods. Specifically, in TB sensing measurement, the AP acts as the initiator or transmitter, while in Non-TB sensing measurement, the STA acts as the initiator or transmitter. In this embodiment, the AP initiates TB sensing measurement during the SBP process; as a second example, the TB sensing measurement process is as follows... Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 Multiple sensing measurement events of a TB sensing measurement process are shown; in Examples 1 to 5, the sensing measurement process includes polling, probing, and reporting (LTF sec.update) processes; in each example, probing may include only NDPA sounding or TF sounding; or it may include both.

[0060] See Figure 6 This disclosure provides a communication method, which can optionally be applied to the agent sensing measurement SBP initiator. The method may include the following steps:

[0061] Step 601, determine the target radio frame; wherein the target radio frame includes a first identifier bit, the first identifier bit indicating whether the SBP response end feeds back the sensing measurement result;

[0062] The target wireless frame also includes a second identifier bit; the second identifier bit indicates the feedback type of the sensing measurement result fed back by the SBP response end, and the second identifier bit is the information that identifies the feedback type of the sensing measurement result.

[0063] The feedback type indicates the parameters included in the sensing measurement results, such as Channel State Information (CSI) information.

[0064] Step 602: Send the target wireless frame.

[0065] The SBP initiator sends the target radio frame to instruct the SBP responder to determine whether to feed back the sensing measurement results of the SBP process based on the first flag bit, thereby improving the SBP process. If the first flag bit indicates that the sensing measurement results should be fed back, the SBP responder controls the sensing receiver to feed back the measurement results during the SBP process.

[0066] In an optional embodiment, when the first flag bit is a first parameter value, the second flag bit is a second parameter value; the second parameter value indicates that the feedback type is feedback Channel State Indication (CSI) information; for example, if the first flag bit is "1", indicating that the sensing measurement result needs to be fed back, then the second flag bit is set to the corresponding value, for example, set to 1, indicating that CSI is fed back.

[0067] This disclosure provides a communication method, optionally applicable to a proxy sensing measurement SBP initiator, which may include the following steps:

[0068] A target radio frame is determined, the target radio frame including an SBP request frame; wherein, the target radio frame includes a first identifier bit, the first identifier bit indicating whether the SBP response end feeds back the sensing measurement result;

[0069] Send the target wireless frame;

[0070] Receive an SBP response frame; wherein the SBP response frame includes a Sensing Measurement Establishment Identifier (MSID).

[0071] The SBP initiator sends an SBP request frame to the SBP responder, indicating in the SBP request frame whether the SBP responder should provide feedback on the sensing measurement results; and after sending the target radio frame, it receives the SBP response frame sent by the SBP responder; if the first flag indicates that the SBP responder should provide feedback on the sensing measurement results, the SBP initiator obtains the sensing measurement results from the SBP response frame and determines the Measurement Setup process corresponding to the sensing measurement results based on the Measurement Setup ID (MSID).

[0072] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the SBP initiator determines and sends a target radio frame; wherein, the target radio frame includes a first identifier bit, the first identifier bit indicating whether the SBP responder should feed back the sensing measurement results; through the target radio frame, the SBP responder is instructed to determine whether the sensing receiver of the SBP process should feed back the sensing measurement results according to the first identifier bit, thereby improving the SBP process. This embodiment of the disclosure provides a mechanism for the sensing receiver to feed back measurement results in an SBP scenario.

[0073] See Figure 7 This disclosure provides a communication method, optionally applicable to a proxy sensing measurement SBP response terminal, where the SBP response terminal may be an access point device (AP). The method may include the following steps:

[0074] Step 701: Receive the target wireless frame; wherein the target wireless frame includes a first identifier bit, and the first identifier bit indicates whether the SBP response terminal feeds back the sensing measurement result.

[0075] The architecture and process of WLAN Sensing applied in the communication method provided in this embodiment refer to the first example above, and the process of the SBP responder initiating TB sensing measurement in the SBP process refers to the second example above, and will not be repeated here.

[0076] Typically, when acting as a Sensing Initiator or Sensing Transmitter, a STA (Sensing Initiator) lacks the capability to communicate simultaneously with multiple receivers. Therefore, a proxy device (e.g., an Access Point) is needed to perform sensing measurements on behalf of the STA. In a SBP (Sensing Buffer Block) scenario, the SBP responder receives a target radio frame, obtains a first identifier bit carried in the target radio frame, and determines whether to feed back sensing measurement results based on the first identifier bit. For example, the target radio frame could be an SBP request frame. The SBP initiator sends an SBP request frame to the SBP responder, carrying a first identifier bit: if the first identifier bit is set to "1", it indicates that the SBP responder needs to feed back sensing measurement results, and the SBP responder controls the sensing receivers to feed back sensing measurement results during the SBP process and also feeds back sensing measurement results to the SBP initiator; if the first identifier bit is set to "0", it indicates that the SBP responder does not need to feed back sensing measurement results.

[0077] Step 702: The agent SBP initiator establishes a sensing measurement with the site device STA and sends a sensing measurement establishment request frame to the STA according to the first identifier bit.

[0078] The SBP responder, acting as an intermediary between the SBP initiator and the STA, establishes a sensing measurement. Based on a first identifier, it sends a sensing measurement establishment request frame to the STA to determine whether the STA (i.e., the sensing receiver) will provide feedback on the sensing measurement result, thus completing the SBP process. For example, if the first identifier indicates feedback of the sensing measurement result, the SBP responder instructs the sensing receiver (i.e., the STA) to provide feedback on the sensing measurement result in the sensing measurement establishment request frame. Subsequently, the SBP responder provides feedback on the sensing measurement result to the SBP initiator.

[0079] This disclosure also provides a communication method, optionally applicable to a proxy sensing measurement SBP response terminal, where the SBP response terminal can be an access point device (AP). The method may include the following steps:

[0080] Receive a target radio frame; wherein the target radio frame includes a first identifier bit, the first identifier bit indicating whether the SBP response end feeds back the sensing measurement result;

[0081] The agent SBP initiator establishes a sensing measurement with the site equipment STA, and determines the value of the sensing measurement result indication bit of the sensing measurement parameter information element according to the first identifier bit; wherein, the sensing measurement result indication bit indicates whether the sensing receiver should feed back the sensing measurement result;

[0082] The sensing measurement establishment request frame carries the sensing measurement parameter information element and is sent to the STA.

[0083] This disclosure also provides a communication method, optionally applicable to a proxy sensing measurement SBP response terminal, where the SBP response terminal can be an access point device (AP). The method may include the following steps:

[0084] Receive a target radio frame; wherein the target radio frame includes a first identifier bit, the first identifier bit indicating whether the SBP response end feeds back the sensing measurement result; the target radio frame also includes a second identifier bit, the second identifier bit indicating the feedback type of the sensing measurement result fed back by the SBP response end;

[0085] The agent SBP initiates a sensing measurement with the site device STA and sends a sensing measurement establishment request frame to the STA according to the first identifier bit; the second identifier bit is the information that identifies the feedback type of the sensing measurement result, wherein the feedback type indicates the parameters included in the sensing measurement result;

[0086] The value of the perception measurement result type indicator bit of the perception measurement parameter information element is determined based on the second identifier bit;

[0087] The sensing measurement establishment request frame carries the sensing measurement parameter information element and is sent to the STA.

[0088] As a third example, the format of the sensing measurement parameter information elements of the proxy sensing measurement is shown in Table 1 below:

[0089] Table 1:

[0090]

[0091]

[0092] The sensing measurement parameter information elements include an element identifier field, a length field, an element identifier extension field, and a sensing measurement parameter information field; furthermore, the format of the sensing measurement parameter information field is shown in Table 2 below:

[0093] Table 2:

[0094]

[0095] As shown in Table 2, the sensing measurement parameter information field includes a sensing transmitter indicator bit, a sensing receiver indicator bit, a sensing measurement result indicator bit (same as the first identifier bit), and a sensing measurement result feedback type indicator bit (same as the second identifier bit). The sensing measurement result indicator bit indicates whether the sensing receiver provides feedback on the sensing measurement result, and the sensing measurement result feedback type indicator bit indicates the type of feedback provided by the sensing receiver on the sensing measurement result.

[0096] In an optional embodiment, when the first flag bit is a first parameter value, the second flag bit is a second parameter value; the second parameter value indicates that the feedback type is feedback Channel State Indication (CSI) information; for example, if the first flag bit is "1", indicating that the sensing measurement result needs to be fed back, then the second flag bit is set to the corresponding value, for example, set to 1, indicating that CSI is fed back.

[0097] This disclosure also provides a communication method, optionally applicable to a proxy sensing measurement SBP response terminal, where the SBP response terminal can be an access point device (AP). The method may include the following steps:

[0098] Receive a target radio frame; wherein the target radio frame includes a first identifier bit, the first identifier bit indicating whether the SBP response end feeds back the sensing measurement result; the target radio frame includes an SBP request frame;

[0099] The agent SBP initiator establishes a sensing measurement with the site device STA and sends a sensing measurement establishment request frame to the STA according to the first identifier bit;

[0100] An SBP response frame is initiated to the SBP initiator; wherein the SBP response frame includes a Sensing Measurement Establishment Identifier (MSID).

[0101] The SBP responder receives the SBP request frame, obtains the first identifier bit, and sends a sensing measurement setup request frame to the STA based on the first identifier bit, indicating whether the STA should provide feedback on the sensing measurement result; and initiates an SBP response frame to the SBP initiator; if the first identifier bit indicates that the SBP responder should provide feedback on the sensing measurement result, the SBP response frame sends the sensing measurement result to the SBP initiator, carrying a sensing measurement setup identifier (Measurement Setup ID, MSID) to indicate the Measurement Setup process corresponding to the sensing measurement result.

[0102] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the SBP responder receives a target radio frame; wherein, the target radio frame includes a first identifier bit, the first identifier bit indicating whether the SBP responder should feed back the sensing measurement result; the proxy SBP initiator establishes sensing measurement with the site device STA (sensing receiver), and sends a sensing measurement establishment request frame to the STA according to the first identifier bit to indicate whether the STA should feed back the sensing measurement result, thus completing the SBP process.
