[0002] With the application of millimeter waves and terahertz in communications, base stations will be able to perceive the status of targets in the coverage area, such as low-altitude flying objects, traffic flow and hot spots of pedestrian flow. They will be able to detect, locate, identify and track key targets, and also have the ability to measure the natural environment status and weather in the coverage area in real time. Mobile terminals will be upgraded to intelligent entities with perception capabilities. At close range, intelligent entities need to recognize people's posture, movements and expressions; at micro distances, they need to identify the target attributes inside the human body, products and objects, and provide remote, artificial intelligence (AI)-based and unmanned physical examination, quality inspection and security inspection services.

[0030] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present application. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0031] The following, in combination with the accompanying drawings, describes in detail the perception service processing method, network side device, terminal and readable storage medium provided in the embodiments of the present application through some embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0032] Figure 1 A flow chart of a method for processing a perception service in an embodiment of the present application is shown. The method 100 can be executed by a first device in the perception service processing, wherein the first device can be a base station or a network side device, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. In other words, the method can be executed by software or hardware installed on the first device. Figure 1 As shown, the method may include the following steps.

[0033] S110: The perception control unit receives a perception service request sent by the application function unit.

[0034] Among them, the perception service request is used to indicate the acquisition of perception information of the target area. The target area can be a static perception area. The perception service request carries a static perception area identifier or a static perception area list, and also includes but is not limited to the perception service type, perception mode, perception base station identifier or UE identifier, perception recognition accuracy, perception recognition false alarm rate, perception distance, perception area, perception speed range, perception distance resolution, perception angle measurement accuracy, perception speed resolution, perception service quality (Quality of Service, QoS) requirements, perception data update frequency, perception feedback method, perception service requester type, perception service requester identifier, perception application identifier, etc.

[0035] The perception control unit may be a sensing control unit (Sensing Control Unit, SCU), which obtains and processes the perception data from the perception execution unit. In one implementation, the perception control unit includes: one or more network elements, that is, the perception control unit may be a network element or a collection of multiple network elements. For example, in a 5G-A core network or a 6G core network, the perception control unit may be a collection of network exposure functions (NEF), local management functions (LMF), gateway mobile location centers (GMLC), sensing functions (SF), access and mobility management functions (AMF), and unified data management (UDM) network elements, and the perception functions are distributed in related network elements; in a 6G network, the perception control unit may be multiple services distributed in the NCU. The application function unit may be a service initiator of the application function (Application Function, AF), and the service initiator may be a functional network element or a terminal device. In S110, the application function unit sends a perception service request for the target area to the perception control unit.

[0036] S120: Determine a target perception mode corresponding to the perception service request.

[0037] In one implementation, the target sensing mode includes at least one of the following: base station self-transmitting and self-receiving, terminal self-transmitting and self-receiving, first base station transmitting and second base station receiving, first terminal transmitting and second terminal receiving, base station transmitting and terminal receiving, terminal transmitting and base station receiving. It can be understood that the sensing mode refers to the communication mode used for sensing, collecting and transmitting data in the network, and the above multiple target sensing modes are described below.

[0038] Base station spontaneous transmission and reception: refers to the base station actively collecting and processing perception information.

[0039] Terminal spontaneous transmission and reception: refers to the terminal actively collecting and processing perception information.

[0040] The first base station sends and the second base station receives: This is a multi-base station coordination mode. The first base station sends a perception service request to the second base station, and the second base station responds to the request and sends the perception information to the first base station.

[0041] The first terminal sends and the second terminal receives: This is a multi-terminal coordination mode. The first terminal sends a perception service request to the second terminal, and the second terminal responds to the request and sends the perception information to the first terminal.

[0042] Base station sends and terminal receives: the base station sends a perception service request to the terminal, and the terminal responds to the request and sends the perception information to the base station.

[0043] The terminal sends and the base station receives: the terminal sends a perception service request to the base station, and the base station responds to the request and sends the acquired perception information to the terminal.

[0044] In practical applications, the target perception mode needs to be selected according to specific needs and scenarios.

[0045] S130: Determine a target perception execution unit based on the target area and the target perception mode.

[0046] The target perception execution unit is one or more perception execution units corresponding to the target perception mode in the target area, and the target perception execution unit has completed the registration of perception capability with the perception control unit. It is understandable that the perception execution unit with perception capability needs to register its own perception capability with the perception control unit; optionally, the perception execution unit can also register its perception capability with the perception control unit in real time during the business process.

[0047] In one implementation, the target sensing execution unit includes at least one of the following: a sensing base station device; a sensing terminal device. That is, the sensing execution unit (SEU) can be a base station or / and a terminal with sensing capabilities, for example, Figure 2As shown, the network entity distribution of perception execution units with perception capabilities under the 6G architecture.

[0048] S140: Send the perception service request to the target perception execution unit.

[0049] S150: Receive perception information sent by the target perception execution unit, and send a target perception result to the application function unit based on the perception information.

[0050] It can be understood that the perception execution unit receives the perception service request issued by the perception control unit, and according to the request content, performs specific perception operations and obtains perception information, and then returns the perception information to the perception control unit. The target perception result can be the original perception information of the large package obtained by the perception execution unit, or the perception information processed by the perception execution unit, or the perception result of the small package processed by the perception execution unit.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present application, upon receiving a perception service request for a target area sent by an application function unit, the perception control unit determines the target perception mode corresponding to the perception service request, determines the target perception execution unit based on the target area and the target perception mode, and then sends the perception service request to the target perception execution unit. Finally, the perception information sent by the target perception execution unit is received, and the target perception result is sent to the application function unit based on the perception information, thereby providing end-to-end service perception and openness, realizing efficient transmission of perception information of any size, and thus expanding the scope of application scenarios.

[0052] Furthermore, in an implementation manner, before determining the target sensing mode corresponding to the sensing service request, the method further includes one of the following:

[0053] (1) Determine that the application function unit needs to be authenticated and the authentication is passed, and that the payment type of the application function unit is a prepaid mode and the balance of the prepaid account of the application function unit meets the required fee.

[0054] (2) Determine that the application function unit needs to be authenticated and the authentication is passed, and that the payment category of the application function unit is a billing mode.

[0055] (3) Determine that the perception service request does not require authentication, that the payment category of the application function unit is a prepaid mode, and that the prepaid account balance of the application function unit satisfies the required fee.

[0056] (4) Determine that the perception service request does not require authentication and that the payment category of the application function unit is a billing mode.

[0057] For example, refer to Figure 3 , describe the above (1) to (4). AF is an application function unit, SCU is a perception control unit, and it should be noted that in the subsequent description of the embodiments of the present application, AF refers to an application function unit, SCU refers to a perception control unit, and SEU refers to a perception execution unit.

[0058] S310: The AF sends a sensing service request to the SCU.

[0059] S320: Whether authentication is required. Whether the SCU needs to authenticate the AF, wherein the information required for authentication may include: user name / password, IP address+port number, etc. If authentication is required, go to S360; if authentication is not required, for example, for a government regulatory agency, go to S330.

[0060] S330: Determine whether it is a prepaid mode. If it is a prepaid mode, go to S340; if not, go to S350.

[0061] S340: Determine whether the balance is sufficient. If it is a prepaid mode, determine whether the prepaid account balance of the AF meets the current sensing service request, if so, go to S390, if not, go to S370.

[0062] S350: Determine that it is a billing mode. If it is not a prepaid mode, determine that the payment mode corresponding to the AF is a billing mode.

[0063] S360: Determine whether the authentication is passed. If the authentication is passed, go to S330; if the authentication is not passed, go to S370.

[0064] S370: Return a response to the AF. If the AF needs authentication but fails to pass the authentication; or in S340, the AF prepaid account balance is insufficient, the execution control unit returns a suitable error response to the AF;

[0065] S380: It is determined that an abnormality has occurred, and the current perception service request process ends.

[0066] S390: The subsequent process of this perception service request continues.

[0067] In this implementation, before determining the target perception mode corresponding to the perception service request, the application function unit needs to be authenticated. Since the SCU manages the information of one or more AFs, including but not limited to payment category (prepaid mode or billing mode), access authentication method (including but not limited to username / password, access IP address / port, etc.), service validity period, balance, default perception service quality (Quality of Service, QoS), default perception mode, etc. Therefore, in this implementation, whether the perception service request meets the requirements is determined based on whether authentication is required, whether the authentication is passed, and the corresponding payment category, so as to ensure that the source of the perception service request is legal and the payment category corresponding to the perception service request is clear, which can improve the reliability and security of data transmission and ensure the normal operation of the perception service.

[0068] In one implementation, determining a target sensing mode corresponding to the sensing service request includes one of the following:

[0069] (1) When the perception service request carries a perception model, determining that the perception model carried by the perception service request is the target perception model.

[0070] (2) When the perception service request does not carry a perception mode and it is determined that the application function unit is configured with a default perception mode, the default perception mode is determined to be the target perception mode.

[0071] (3) When the perception service request does not carry a perception mode and it is determined that the application function unit is not configured with a default perception mode, the target perception mode is determined for the perception service request according to a policy of the perception control unit.

[0072] For example, refer to Figure 4 , describe the above (1) to (3).

[0073] S410: The AF sends a sensing service request to the SCU.

[0074] S420: Determine whether the request carries the perception mode.

[0075] S430: If the AF sensing service request carries a sensing mode, the sensing mode carried in the AF sensing service request is adopted, that is, the sensing mode carried in the AF sensing service request is determined as the target sensing mode.

[0076] S440: If the AF sensing service request does not carry the sensing mode, determine whether the AF is configured with a default sensing mode.

[0077] S450: If the AF configuration has a default perception mode, the default perception mode of the AF configuration is adopted, that is, the default perception mode of the AF configuration is determined as the target perception mode.

[0078] S460: If the AF is not configured with a default perception mode, the target perception mode is determined for the perception service request according to the policy of the perception control unit.

[0079] In this implementation, since different perception modes correspond to different perception data collection, processing and transmission methods, it is necessary to determine the corresponding target perception mode according to the perception service request to ensure the efficiency and quality of perception data transmission.

[0080] In one implementation, the sensing service request carries the area identifier of the target area; and determining the target sensing execution unit based on the target area and the target sensing mode includes the following steps:

[0081] S131: Convert the area identifier into a location identifier recognizable by a mobile system, wherein the location identifier includes: at least one cell identifier and / or at least one base station identifier.

[0082] It can be understood that the perception control unit first obtains the area identifier of the target area carried by the perception service request, and then converts the area identifier into a location identifier recognizable by the mobile system. That is to say, the perception control unit can determine the cell or base station corresponding to the target area based on the location identifier, and the cell or base station can communicate with the mobile system.

[0083] S132: Based on the location identifier and the target perception mode, determine the target perception execution unit corresponding to the target perception mode in the area corresponding to the location identifier.

[0084] In S131, the perception control unit can determine the cell or base station corresponding to the target area according to the location identifier, thereby determining one or more perception execution units that have registered perception capabilities in each cell or base station, and then determine the target perception execution unit from the one or more perception execution units according to the target perception mode.

[0085] Optionally, the sensing execution unit SCU may include: a Home Sensing Control Unit (HSCU) and a Visit Sensing Control Unit (VSCU). Figure 5 , describe the above S131 and S132,

[0086] S510: The HSCU converts the area identifier AreaID of the AF sensing service request into a location information location identifier MareaID that can be recognized by the mobile system.

[0087] S520: The HSCU forwards the sensing service request to the VSCU according to the MareaID, carrying the original AF request information, including but not limited to the MareaID and AreaID.

[0088] S530: Optionally, the HSCU may also forward the request to the VSCU according to the AreaID, and jump to S540.

[0089] S540: VSCU converts AreaID into location information MareaID that can be recognized by the mobile system.

[0090] S550: VSCU selects a suitable SEU with perception capability according to MArealID and the target perception mode transparently transmitted by HSCU.

[0091] S560: The SEU selection process ends, and the selected SEU will perform the sensing operation.

[0092] In this example, the HSCU needs to convert the requested area identifier AreaID into location information that can be recognized by the mobile system, such as a set of one or more cell IDs, based on the AF's perception service request. The HSCU forwards the perception service request to the VSCU based on the converted area location information; the VSCU sends the perception service request to one or more SEUs suitable for the perception area based on the original perception area identifier AreaID of the AF's perception service request or the set of one or more cellIDs converted by the HSCU and based on the SEUs with perception capabilities registered in the VSCU.

[0093] In one implementation, before determining the target perception execution unit based on the target area and the target perception mode, it also includes: receiving a perception capability registration request sent by the one or more perception execution units; and sending a registration success response message to the one or more perception execution units when it is determined that the perception capability of the one or more perception execution units meets the second preset requirement. It can be understood that the target perception execution unit has registered its perception capability with the perception control unit. For example, refer to Figure 6 , the implementation method is described.

[0094] S610: Receive a sensing capability registration request.

[0095] One or more base stations or terminals with sensing capability, namely SEU, register the sensing capability with the SCU, and the SCU receives the sensing capability registration request.

[0096] S620: Sensing capability registration response.

[0097] The SCU processes the SEU's sensing capability registration request and returns a successful registration response; if the processing fails, it returns an appropriate error reason.

[0098] In one implementation, the receiving the perception information sent by the target perception execution unit includes: receiving the target perception result sent by the target perception execution unit through a control plane bus; or receiving the perception measurement data sent by the target perception execution unit through a data plane bus.

[0099] It can be understood that both the control plane bus and the data plane bus are channels for realizing data transmission.

[0100] Among them, in another implementation method, sending the target perception result to the application function unit based on the perception information includes: when receiving the perception measurement data sent by the target perception execution unit through the data plane bus, performing perception settlement on the perception measurement data to obtain the target perception result; sending the target perception result to the application function unit.

[0101] It is understandable that the data plane bus receives the original perception measurement data, that is, the target perception execution unit does not process the perception measurement data into the target perception result. Therefore, when the perception control unit receives the perception measurement data sent by the target perception execution unit, it performs perception settlement on the perception measurement data to obtain the target perception result; and sends the target perception result to the application function unit.

[0102] In one implementation, after receiving the perception information sent by the target perception execution unit, it also includes: obtaining the target perception result based on the received perception information; generating a perception detail list based on the target perception result; and sending the perception detail list to the operator billing center at the first target moment, wherein the first target moment includes the moment when the perception detail list generation is completed or a preset periodic sending moment.

[0103] Exemplarily, the perception information also includes the measurement and recording of the traffic used by the perception execution unit during the perception service process. These recorded data will be used to settle fees and send bills to users. Therefore, after obtaining the perception information of the perception execution unit, the perception control unit needs to send a bill to the operator's billing center to ensure that users pay according to the traffic they use and ensure that the financial transaction between the operator and the user is successfully completed.

[0104] In one implementation, sending the target perception result to the application functional unit based on the perception information includes: sending the target perception result to the application functional unit through a perception capability open network element; or sending the target perception result to the application functional unit through a data plane bus.

[0105] Below, according to Figure 7 , a specific embodiment of the present application is described.

[0106] S705: Sense service request.

[0107] AF initiates a perception service request, wherein the perception service request carries a static perception area identifier or a static perception area list, and also includes but is not limited to the perception service type, perception mode, perception base station identifier or UE identifier, perception recognition accuracy, perception recognition false alarm rate, perception distance, perception area, perception speed range, perception distance resolution, perception angle measurement accuracy, perception speed resolution, perception service quality QoS requirements, perception data update frequency, perception feedback method, perception service requester type, perception service requester identifier, perception application identifier, etc.

[0108] S710: Authenticate the AF and determine the VSCU.

[0109] HSCU authenticates the perception service request. After authentication, it checks the payment category. If it is prepaid, it checks whether the balance supports the current service fee. If it is insufficient, the service process is terminated. Optionally, for some specific AFs designated by some governments or organizations, it is possible to choose whether to perform authentication and / or billing control.

[0110] S715: Sense service request.

[0111] HSCU needs to convert the area identifier AreaID of the perception service request into location information MAreaID that can be recognized by the mobile system according to the request of AF. HSCU forwards the perception service request to VSCU according to the converted area location information MAreaID; optionally, HSCU can also forward the perception service request to VSCU according to AreaID.

[0112] S720: Select an appropriate SEU with perception capability.

[0113] VSCU converts AreaID into location information MArealIDD that can be recognized by the mobile system, and selects the appropriate SEU with perception capabilities based on MArealID and the perception mode of HSCU transparent transmission.

[0114] S725: Send a perception service request.

[0115] VSCU sends a sensing service request to SEU.

[0116] S730: The SEU performs a sensing task.

[0117] S735: Reporting perception measurement data.

[0118] The SEU reports the sensing result to the VSCU via the control plane bus immediately, periodically, or when a sensing event that satisfies the AF sensing service request occurs.

[0119] S740: Reporting the perception result data.

[0120] The SEU reports the sensing measurement data to the VSCU via the data plane bus immediately, periodically, or when a sensing event that satisfies the AF sensing service request occurs; wherein, S735 and S740 are in an OR relationship.

[0121] S745: Perceptual computing.

[0122] VSCU receives the sensing data from SEU and performs secondary processing if necessary to form the final sensing result.

[0123] S750: Generate a perception detail list SDR.

[0124] VSCU generates a perception detail data (SDR) and transmits the SDR to the operator's billing center immediately or periodically.

[0125] S755: Perception service response.

[0126] VSCU forwards the sensing results to HSCU.

[0127] S760: Generate a perception detail list SDR.

[0128] HSCU generates the perception detail data (SDR) and transmits the SDR to the operator's billing center immediately or periodically.

[0129] S765: Perceive service response.

[0130] The HSCU opens its perception capabilities and feeds back the perception results to the AF.

[0131] S770: Perceive service response.

[0132] Optionally, the SEU may also directly feed back the sensing result to the AF through the DCI channel.

[0133] Among them, steps S750 and S760 determine that one or both of VSCU and HSCU generate SDR according to the operator's policy.

[0134] In the above embodiment, the SCU is the brain of the perception function, for example, refer to Figure 8 , SCU can include HSCU and VSCU. On the one hand, HSCU accepts the perception service request of AF, authenticates and controls the charging of AF. If the authentication passes and meets the charging control policy, the perception service request of AF is forwarded to VSCU. VSCU issues perception instructions to SEUs that meet the service request. On the other hand, VSCU receives the perception data of SEU and performs secondary processing if necessary. For example, VSCU receives the perception data of multiple SEUs. VSCU will further perform perception settlement to obtain a better final perception result. VSCU will immediately, periodically or event-triggeredly transmit the perception result to HSCU. HSCU sends the perception result to AF through the perception capability open interface; at the same time, VSCU or / and HSCU generates a perception detail list SDR and transmits the SDR immediately or periodically to the operator's billing center. At the same time, SCU also has the function of registering, processing and discovering the perception capability of SEU, the function of converting the AF perception service request area and the mobile network identifiable area, and the function of performing authority management and service management on one or more AFs. SEU receives the perception service request issued by VSCU, performs specific perception operations according to the request content, requests QoS, etc., and returns the perception data to VSCU; in order to reduce the network transmission data traffic, the perception data can be either the original perception measurement data of SEU, the perception measurement data processed by SEU, or the final perception result processed by SEU. Finally, AF accepts the perception result opened by HSCU.

The method 900 can be executed by a first device in the perception service processing, wherein the first device can be a terminal or a network side device, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. In other words, the method can be executed by software or hardware installed on the first device. Fig. 9 As shown, the method may include the following steps.

[0136] S910: The target perception execution unit receives a perception service request sent by the perception control unit.

[0137] In one implementation, the perception execution unit includes at least one of the following: a perception base station device; a perception terminal device.

[0138] S920: Acquire perception information based on the perception service request.

[0139] S930: Sending perception information to the perception control unit at the target time.

[0140] In one implementation, the target time includes at least one of the following: the time when the perception information is acquired; a preset periodic time; the triggering time of the perception event corresponding to the perception service request.

[0141] In another implementation, the perception execution unit sends the perception information to the perception control unit at the target time, including one of the following:

[0142] (1) sending the target perception measurement result to the perception control unit via the control plane bus at the target time; or

[0143] (2) sending the perception measurement data to the perception control unit via the data plane bus at the target time.

[0144] In an embodiment of the present application, a perception service request sent by a perception control unit is received through a target perception execution unit, perception information is obtained based on the perception service request, and the perception information is sent to the perception control unit at a target time, thereby providing end-to-end service perception and openness, ensuring that data can be efficiently transmitted in the network, thereby expanding the scope of application scenarios.

[0145] In one implementation, before sending the target perception measurement result to the perception control unit through the control plane bus at the target time, it also includes: acquiring target perception measurement data, performing perception settlement on the target perception measurement data, and obtaining the target perception result.

[0146] Fig.10 A flow chart of a method for processing a perception service in an embodiment of the present application is shown. The method 1000 can be executed by a first device in the perception service processing, wherein the first device can be a terminal or a network side device, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. In other words, the method can be executed by software or hardware installed on the first device. Fig.10 As shown, the method may include the following steps.

[0150] pass Figures 1 to 10 Any of the embodiments described above can be widely applied to perception scenarios for static area perception, including but not limited to:

[0151] 1. Smart Home Intrusion Detection

[0152] For intruder detection in smart home scenarios, the activities of objects or people indoors will affect the wireless signals measured by the user equipment (UE) or the network. Through this application, the SCU can detect the behavior of indoor objects or humans and protect the safety of family life and property by analyzing and collecting sensor information such as SEU Doppler frequency shift, amplitude change and phase change.

[0153] 2. Intrusion around highways and railways

[0154] Major accidents caused by pedestrians or animals crossing highways / railways occur frequently. At present, highway / railway monitoring systems are mainly based on sensors (such as radars, cameras) equipped in traditional roadside infrastructure, but there are still many problems with road monitoring systems, such as only partial coverage of the roadside, and the radar may be dedicated to a single purpose, and different types of radars need to be deployed at the same location to meet their respective use cases and usage requirements in related fields. Through the perception of the perception area by this application, the highway / railway manager is notified of the intrusion of foreign objects in the first time, which facilitates the manager to take quick measures and effectively ensure the safe operation of the highway / railway.

[0155] 3. Real-time rainfall detection

[0156] Traditional rainfall monitoring uses rain gauges located at specific locations. However, it is very expensive to use rain gauges for monitoring in a wide area. By utilizing the wide-area coverage and remote sensing characteristics of wireless base stations, this application can monitor rainfall based on base stations to obtain detection results in a wider area. The SEU obtains measurement data in the sensing area, and the SCU obtains the sensing results by quantifying and analyzing the measurement data of the SEU. The sensing results can be opened to applications to obtain real-time rainfall related to the location.

[0157] 4. Flood detection in smart cities

[0158] Due to climate change in recent years, heavy rains sometimes fall in a small area in a short period of time, especially in urban areas, causing inundation and flooding even in areas where it has not occurred in the past. Once a flood does occur there, such as low-lying roads in cities and underpasses, this may result in the loss of life. Although the same function can be achieved through cameras or other sensors, it is not necessarily efficient and commercially viable because it is difficult to determine where a flood may occur. Through the wide perception of the city by this application, the location of the flood can be perceived more effectively and economically to ensure the safety of people's lives and property.

[0159] 5. Drone intrusion detection

[0160] The UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) industry is developing rapidly around the world and is widely used in a variety of scenarios such as aerial photography, police, urban management, agriculture, geology, meteorology, electricity, emergency rescue, and disaster relief. However, this also brings huge challenges to UAV regulation due to the following reasons:

[0161] 1) Low-altitude drones are large in number, small in size, and have a wide flight area, so it is difficult to monitor them using traditional radar systems.

[0162] 2) Unregistered drones may intentionally or unintentionally intrude into certain no-fly zones (e.g., airports, military bases), leading to serious consequences.

[0163] This application can provide sensing services by processing sensor data and outputting sensor information (such as relative position, altitude, distance, speed, direction). This application can be used to perceive scenarios where drones are illegally flying in restricted areas, including light rail, airports, government facilities, research institutions, high-speed rail stations, temporary performance venues, and other permanent or temporary restricted areas.
