Currently, regional network perception services have become the development direction of future perception service design and deployment.

[0031] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, example embodiments can be implemented in a variety of forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure will be more comprehensive and complete and to fully convey the concepts of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0032] In addition, the accompanying drawings are only schematic illustrations of the present disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the figures represent the same or similar parts, and their repeated description will be omitted. Some of the block diagrams shown in the accompanying drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities. These functional entities can be implemented in software form, or implemented in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or implemented in different networks and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0033] In the research on regional network perception capabilities and network perception services, how to build perception scenarios and design related service execution processes and specifications is a difficult point in the existing related research. Generally speaking, perception scenarios can be divided into two types according to the actual construction method. One is the preset perception scenario created by the operator when the network deploys perception capabilities, and the other is the perception scenario created after the third-party application initiates a request to the network.

[0034] By creating preset perception scenarios and publishing them when operators deploy perception capabilities in the network, the network's own perception scenario creation function is open to third parties for related perception service requests.

[0035] In perception services, since there may be both base stations with perception capabilities and terminals with perception capabilities, perception services are not a single terminal-oriented service. Therefore, how to configure scenario-based perception services and related network services is particularly important.

[0036] Generally speaking, for the network, perception scenarios can be divided into two major categories based on internal and external factors. One is the perception scenario created by requesting the third-party perception service application function AF. The network will perform relevant perception operations based on the scenario information of the perception scenario actually requested by AF. The other is the network perception scenario creation scheme mainly described in this disclosure, that is, the network itself creates preset perception scenarios and performs relevant configurations on the scenarios based on the actual deployment of the network and key perception service-related areas.

[0037] In the present disclosure, the network self-creates and opens preset perception scenarios according to the actual deployment of the operator itself and key perception service-related areas. By using the network perception function SF as the core network element, relevant scenario configuration functions and data services are deployed in the network to define relevant business content, so as to realize the network's self-creation of preset perception scenarios. Specifically, based on the type of preset perception scenario, the base stations and / or fixed sensing capability terminals covered by the perception scenario are configured into the preset perception scenario. Finally, after the preset perception scenario is created and the scenario configuration is completed, the preset perception scenario based on the network perception function is opened to third-party services for use by requesting perception services AF through the network opening function.

[0038] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a system for creating a network-aware scenario in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 1As shown, the system includes multiple network elements, including: network sensing function SF (Sensing Function) 102, network storage function NRF (Network Repository Function) 104, session management function SMF (Session Management function) 106, access and mobility management function AMF (Access and Mobility Management Function) 108 and sensing service application function AF (Application Function) 110, network exposure function NEF (Network Exposure Function) 112, sensing base station RAN114 with sensing capability and sensing terminal (SensingUE) 116.

[0039] The perception function SF102 is used to perform business operations related to the perception service, create preset perception scenarios for the network itself, and configure the corresponding perception capability base station or perception capability terminal according to the scenario requirements, and has the ability to save the scenario information and scenario configuration content of the relevant perception scenarios. In this system, this functional module is mainly controlled and managed by the network operator, and performs relevant creation and configuration of the preset perception scenarios initiated by the operator from the network itself.

[0040] The network storage function NRF104 is used to store relevant network deployment and network status information in the area, and to store specific configuration information of base stations with perception capabilities. In addition, for perception services, it also stores scene information of network preset perception scenarios and external customized perception scenarios, including open information such as location information and spatial information, as well as the correspondence between each perception scenario and the associated network perception function SF.

[0041] In addition, by storing the correspondence between preset perception scenarios and SFs, when SF is one of multiple network elements deployed in a distributed manner, there is a situation where one SF corresponds to multiple perception scenarios, or multiple SFs correspond to multiple perception scenarios, so it is necessary to save relevant correspondence information.

[0042] The session management function SMF106 is used to provide the network perception function SF with the deployment information of relevant base stations, that is, the topology information of the base station distribution. The network perception function SF needs to first confirm through the scene information that all base stations in the scene can be fully covered before it can query the NRF for the configuration information of the relevant base stations with perception capabilities.

[0043] The access and mobility management function AMF108 is used to maintain the configuration information and access and mobility information of fixed (very low mobility) terminals with perception capabilities.

[0044] In addition, since this solution is mainly oriented to scene presetting and opening, fixed or low-mobility terminals are given priority when pre-configuring sensing capability terminals to ensure that the preset scene configuration does not need to be updated frequently.

[0045] Base station RAN114 with perception capability and fixed perception terminal Sensing UE116 (optional): In the present disclosure, the main problem faced is to enable the network to preset relevant perception service scenarios by itself. Since it is a preset perception scenario, the equipment responsible for performing the perception operation needs to be stably deployed. Generally, base stations with perception functions can be configured in preset perception scenarios for a long time. Since the perception capability terminals include mobile terminals and fixed (or extremely low mobility) terminals, considering that the preset scenario configuration information is generally not updated and maintained at a high frequency, the base stations with perception capabilities and fixed (extremely low mobility) terminals with perception capabilities are designed and configured in the preset perception scenarios in this system.

[0046] Network Exposure Function (NEF): In this system, it is mainly responsible for opening relevant preset perception scene information, mainly opening the location information and spatial information of relevant perception scenes for AF to match relevant business needs.

[0047] Below, each step of the method for creating a network-aware scenario in this example implementation will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0048] Figure 2 A flow chart of a method for creating a network-aware scenario in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, a method for creating a network awareness scenario according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is applied to a network awareness function SF, including:

[0050] Step S202: creating a preset perception scenario based on the range information and the execution requirements of the perception service, wherein the range information corresponds to the coverage of the preset perception scenario, and the perception service is executed under the preset perception scenario.

[0051] The preset perception scenario refers to a scenario of a perception service application function AF that is created and configured by the network itself and opened to the outside of the network.

[0052] The range information includes plane position information and corresponding spatial information.

[0053] Exemplarily, a preset perception scenario is created, that is, the network perception function SF initiates the creation operation of the preset perception scenario, including the location information, spatial information of the perception scenario related to the network definition configuration, and other requirements related to the actual perception service execution.

[0054] In addition, the preset perception scenario can be initiated by the network operator when deploying and maintaining network services. The preset perception scenario can be open to the outside of the network, but the outside of the network has no authority to modify the configuration.

[0055] Step S204: acquiring base station information that meets the preset perception scenario coverage based on the range information.

[0056] Among them, the base station information that meets the preset perception scenario coverage refers to which base stations are deployed within the range defined by the range information.

[0057] Step S206: Acquire configuration information of a sensing capability device matching a preset sensing scenario based on the covered base station information.

[0058] Among them, the preset perception scenarios include base station perception scenarios, terminal perception scenarios and full perception scenarios. Accordingly, the perception capability device that matches the base station perception scenario is a perception capability base station, the perception capability device that matches the terminal perception scenario is a perception capability terminal, and the perception capability device that matches the full perception scenario is a perception capability base station and a perception capability terminal.

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, the perception scenarios include scenario A, scenario B and scenario C. Scenario A is a full perception scenario, scenario B is a terminal perception scenario, and scenario C is a base station perception scenario. In scenario A, the perception-capable terminal and the base station with perception capability participate in perception. In scenario B, the perception-capable terminal participates in perception, and the base station without perception capability participates in the terminal session. In scenario C, only the base station with perception capability participates in perception.

[0060] Step S208: Sending a configuration instruction of the perception service to a matching perception capability device based on the configuration information and the execution requirement of the perception service, and receiving a perception service configuration result fed back by the matching perception capability device.

[0061] Step S210, configuring the scene information of the preset perception scene based on the perception service configuration result to complete the creation of the preset perception scene.

[0062] In this embodiment, the network is equipped with perception function by deploying corresponding perception function network elements SF. On this basis, a preset perception scene is created by itself by creating location information and spatial information of the perception scene, and configuration information related to the preset perception scene is obtained. Based on the type and configuration information of the preset perception scene, the perception-capable devices covered in the perception scene are configured into the preset perception scene, so that the network can create and configure the preset perception scene by itself on the basis of having the perception function, which is conducive to ensuring the feasibility and reliability of the perception service based on the preset perception scene.

[0063] In one embodiment, base station information that meets the preset perception scenario coverage is obtained based on range information, including: generating a first query request based on the range information; sending the first query request to the session management function SMF, so that the SMF queries the deployed base station topology information based on the first query request, so as to determine the base station information that meets the preset perception scenario coverage based on the range information; and receiving the base station information fed back by the SMF.

[0064] Among them, query the base station topology information: the network perception function SF first queries the session management function SMF for the topology information of the base station deployment according to the location information and spatial information of the preset perception scenario, that is, queries which specific base stations are within the deployment and coverage range in this scenario.

[0065] In one embodiment, the preset perception scenario includes a base station perception scenario, and the perception capability device matching the base station perception scenario is a perception capability base station. The configuration information of the perception capability device matching the preset perception scenario is obtained based on the covered base station information, including: sending a second query request to the network storage function NRF, the second query request is used to query the first distribution information of the perception capability base station with perception capability based on the base station information; receiving the first configuration information of the perception capability base station fed back by the NRF based on the query result.

[0066] Among them, SMF stores the topological information of base station distribution, that is, which base stations are deployed in the coverage area, and NRF stores the specific configuration information of perception-capable base stations, that is, which deployed base stations are perception-capable base stations, as well as the configuration information of these perception-capable base stations, so as to feed back this information to SF.

[0067] In one embodiment, a configuration instruction for a perception service is sent to a matching perception capability device based on configuration information and execution requirements of the perception service, and a perception service configuration result fed back by the matching perception capability device is received, including: sending a first configuration instruction to a perception capability base station based on first configuration information and execution requirements, so that the perception capability base station performs configuration operations of the perception service under a preset perception scenario based on the first configuration instruction; and receiving the first perception service configuration result fed back by the perception capability base station.

[0068] In this embodiment, a first configuration instruction is sent to the perception capability base station, so that the perception capability base station implements supplementary configuration of the perception scenario and its perception service based on the first configuration instruction.

[0069] In one embodiment, the preset perception scenario includes a terminal perception scenario, and the perception capability device matching the terminal perception scenario is a fixed perception capability terminal. The configuration information of the perception capability device matching the preset perception scenario is obtained based on the covered base station information, including: sending a third query request to the access and mobility management function AMF, the third query request is used to query the second distribution information of the accessed perception capability terminal based on the base station information; receiving the second configuration information of the perception capability terminal fed back by the AMF based on the second distribution information, the second distribution information is determined based on the base station information.

[0070] Among them, the fixed perception capability terminal refers to a perception capability terminal with low mobility. Fixed or low mobility can be understood as that within a period of time, such as one month, the terminal accesses base stations within the coverage area. It can also be understood that within a period of time, the terminal's moving range does not exceed the set range, such as the moving range is within a radius of 50 kilometers.

[0071] In one embodiment, a configuration instruction of a perception service is sent to a matching perception capability device based on configuration information and execution requirements of the perception service, and a perception service configuration result fed back by the matching perception capability device is received, including: sending a second configuration instruction to a perception capability terminal based on second configuration information and execution requirements, so that the perception capability terminal performs configuration operations of the perception service under a preset perception scenario based on the second configuration instruction; and receiving the second perception service configuration result fed back by the perception capability terminal.

[0072] In this embodiment, the second configuration instruction is sent to the perception capability terminal, so that the perception capability terminal implements the supplementary configuration of the perception scenario and its perception service based on the second configuration instruction.

[0073] In one embodiment, the preset perception scenario includes a full perception scenario, and the perception capability devices matching the full perception scenario include perception capability base stations and fixed perception capability terminals. The configuration information of the perception capability devices matching the preset perception scenario is obtained based on the covered base station information, including: sending a second query request to the network storage function NRF, the second query request is used to query the first distribution information of the perception capability base station with perception capability based on the base station information; receiving the first configuration information of the perception capability base station fed back by the NRF based on the query result; sending a third query request to the access and mobility management function AMF, the third query request is used to query the second distribution information of the accessed perception capability terminal based on the base station information; receiving the second configuration information of the perception capability terminal fed back by the AMF based on the second distribution information, the second distribution information is determined based on the base station information.

[0074] Among them, one implementation method of querying the configuration information of base stations and terminals with perception capabilities includes: the network perception function SF queries the network storage function NRF and the access and mobility management function AMF for the configuration information of base stations with perception capabilities and the configuration information of fixed perception-capable terminals under this preset perception scenario.

[0075] NRF and AMF will send the configuration information of the corresponding sensing capability base station and the configuration information of the fixed sensing capability terminal to SF based on the actually saved base station capability information, terminal capability information, and terminal distribution.

[0076] In one embodiment, a configuration instruction for a perception service is sent to a matching perception capability device based on configuration information and execution requirements of the perception service, and a perception service configuration result fed back by the matching perception capability device is received, including: sending a first configuration instruction to a perception capability base station based on first configuration information and execution requirements, so that the perception capability base station performs configuration operations of the perception service under a preset perception scenario based on the first configuration instruction; receiving the first perception service configuration result fed back by the perception capability base station; sending a second configuration instruction to a perception capability terminal based on second configuration information and execution requirements, so that the perception capability terminal performs configuration operations of the perception service under a preset perception scenario based on the second configuration instruction; and receiving the second perception service configuration result fed back by the perception capability terminal.

[0077] In this embodiment, the perception base station and terminal configuration, after the network perception capability obtains the configuration information of the corresponding base station with perception capability and the configuration information of the fixed perception capability terminal, will configure the base station and the terminal according to the execution requirements of the perception service of the preset perception scenario defined and configured.

[0078] Those skilled in the art can understand that the configuration of this step is that the network perception function SF configures or adjusts the base station and terminal for perception services according to the needs of the preset scenarios, mainly to perform relevant supplementary configurations for actual perception scenarios and perception services.

[0079] In one embodiment, configuration of scene information of a preset perception scene is performed based on the perception service configuration result, including: configuring the location and spatial information of the perception capability device, the service scope of the perception service, and the perception capability information of the perception capability device based on the perception service configuration result to complete the configuration of the scene information of the preset perception scene.

[0080] In this embodiment, after completing the configuration of the preset perception scenario for the base station and terminal with perception capabilities, the network perception function SF creates relevant preset perception scenarios and related scenario configuration information, that is, SF determines the relevant specific information to be configured under the preset perception scenario, including but not limited to base station service and capability configuration information, terminal service and capability configuration information, base station location information, terminal location information, location and spatial information of the perception scenario, perception service scope, etc.

[0081] In one embodiment, it also includes: reporting scene information of the preset perception scene to the network storage function NRF, so that the NRF stores the range information covered by the preset perception scene and the relevant information of the perception-capable devices within the coverage range.

[0082] In this embodiment, after completing the creation of the preset perception scene and related scene configuration information, the network perception function SF will update the perception scene information in the area to the network storage function NRF. For the preset perception scene, the perception scene information includes not only the location information and spatial information of the scene, but also the relevant configuration information of the corresponding perception-capable base station and the perception-capable terminal, as well as business requirements related to the perception business. The perception scene information stored in the network storage function NRF usually only includes the location and information and spatial information, as well as the information of "the scene has a perception-capable base station and / or a perception-capable terminal" or "the scene does not have a perception-capable base station and / or a perception-capable terminal". It does not need to include other perception scene configuration information. The preset perception scene information on the NEF side is updated by reporting the required scene information to the NEF.

[0083] Exemplarily, on the core network side (i.e., the network including network elements such as SF, SMF, AMF, NRF and NEF), the network storage function NRF can deploy a scenario library or scenario registry for preset perception scenarios. In principle, the scenario library can contain the location information and spatial information of the corresponding perception scenarios. The network can add other relevant information according to the actual deployment situation, such as the dimension of the perception service, the data type of the perception scenario data, or the corresponding information of the network element of the network perception function SF based on distributed deployment, etc. The network storage function NRF can open the scenario library to third-party perception service-related application functions AF for use. In addition, the network perception function SF can also deploy a scenario library for preset perception scenarios, which mainly includes detailed configuration information of the preset perception scenarios, that is, in addition to the necessary scene location information and spatial information, it also includes the corresponding base station configuration information and terminal configuration information under each preset perception scenario, as well as perception dimensions, perception data types, perception capability configuration information, etc.

[0084] In one embodiment, it also includes: opening the coverage range information of the preset perception scene and the scene type of the preset perception scene to the perception service application function AF.

[0085] In this embodiment, after the network storage function NRF updates the scene information of the perception scene in the area, the network opening function NEF will open the location information, spatial information and scene type of the created preset perception scene to the outside of the network for external services to configure related area-oriented perception services, thereby ensuring the openness of the preset perception scene and enabling the external AF to effectively call the preset perception scene.

[0086] like Figure 4 As shown, the core network includes network elements such as SF, SMF, AMF, NRF and NEF. When creating a preset perception scenario, SF obtains base station deployment topology information and terminal distribution information from SMF, AMF, NRF and other network elements, and sends configuration instructions to related perception-capable base stations and perception-capable terminals based on this information and the preset perception scenario to configure the related perception-capable base stations and perception-capable terminals to have the ability to perform perception services.

[0087] Furthermore, after the preset perception scene is created, the preset perception scene is opened to the AF outside the network.

[0088] like Figure 5 As shown, a scheme for creating a network-aware scenario according to another embodiment of the present disclosure includes:

[0089] Step S502, SF creates a preset perception scene within the network and confirms the scene location information and spatial information.

[0090] Among them, the network perception function can initiate the creation of a preset perception scenario by itself. The main content of the initiation is to create the location information and spatial information of a scenario. Then the network perception function requests the NRF and AMF for the configuration information of the specific base station RAN and / or optionally the Sensing UE based on the location information and spatial information.

[0091] Step S504: SF queries SMF for topology information of base station deployment and obtains base station information that meets the coverage of the preset perception scenario.
