Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communications, and in particular to a perception service management method, device, chip and module equipment. Background Art

[0002] In the communication-perception integrated system, the perception target (or perception object) can be located, measured in speed, and recognized in shape by at least one perception node (or perception device) sending and receiving perception signals. In the communication-perception integrated system, the perception node can not only perform perception services but also have communication capabilities, and the perception target or perception node can have mobility. Therefore, there is a need for perception switching in the communication-perception integrated system. For example, with the mobility of the perception target or perception node, when the perception target exceeds the perception range of the perception node; or when the perception service needs based on the perception node need to interrupt the execution of the perception service, there is a need for perception switching.

It should be noted that these explanations are intended to make the embodiments of this application easier to understand and should not be regarded as limiting the scope of protection claimed by this application.

[0064] Synaesthesia integration technology can be understood as a technology that integrates communication services and perception services. In the application of synaesthesia integration technology, the same device can provide perception services and communication services at the same time. Synaesthesia integration technology has wide applications in business scenarios such as smart transportation, drone monitoring, respiratory monitoring, and gesture recognition.

[0065] In the business scenarios of synaesthesia integration technology, the communication capability and perception capability of the equipment complement each other. For example, in communication-assisted perception services, the reference signal of the communication can be used as a perception signal to realize services such as target positioning, speed measurement, and gesture recognition; and in communication-assisted perception services, high-speed and reliable communication capabilities also provide guarantees for the convergence of perception data, which can further improve perception accuracy and perception resolution. In perception-assisted communication services, wireless perception technology is used to detect and perceive the wireless communication environment and communication nodes, and various prior information such as environmental maps, communication node locations, and moving speeds can be obtained. Using perception information and perception results, the communication system is assisted in algorithm selection, algorithm parameter setting, and algorithm optimization for modules such as channel estimation, equalization, and beam management. The following introduces synaesthesia integration technology from the following aspects.

[0066] 1. Perception Service Reference Model

[0067] See also Figure 2 As shown, a schematic diagram of a perception service reference model provided by the present application, the perception service reference model includes a perception client, a perception server and a perception object. Among them:

[0068] The perception client may be an entity outside the synaesthesia integration system, or an entity inside the synaesthesia integration system (eg, a terminal device, an access network device, or a network function in a core network).

[0069] The perception server is implemented through the synaesthesia integration system, which is based on the architecture of the existing wireless mobile communication system, including the core network, the wireless access network and the terminal equipment. The perception server can determine the perception information of the perception object based on the perception data obtained by the synaesthesia integration unit and the third-party perception unit. The synaesthesia integration unit obtains the perception data by measuring the perception signals configured inside the system. The perception signals include signals dedicated to perception and signals used for perception and communication at the same time. The technology used by the third-party perception unit to obtain the perception data is not within the scope of the research of the synaesthesia integration system.

[0070] The perceived object and perceived information may be determined according to different synaesthesia integration services. Usually, the perceived object may be the environment, an object, a person, etc., and the perceived information may be an environment map, an image of an object, a person's speed and position, etc.

[0071] based on Figure 2 The perception service reference model shown in the figure can be roughly described as the basic process of the perception service: S1, the perception client sends a perception request to the perception server; S2, the perception server performs the perception function through the synaesthesia integration unit or the third-party perception unit according to the perception request to obtain the perception information of the perception object; S3, the perception server sends a perception response to the perception client, and the perception response carries the perception information of the perception object.

[0072] 2. Synaesthesia integrated network architecture

[0073] See also Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 Schematic diagrams of several synaesthesia integrated network architectures based on 5G system architecture design provided for this application, including schematic diagrams of tightly coupled control plane (control, C) and user plane (user, U) separation architecture, schematic diagrams of tightly coupled CU non-separation architecture, and schematic diagrams of loosely coupled architecture. Figure 3 In the schematic diagrams of various synaesthesia integrated network architectures shown, the sensing function (SF) network element is used to manage the sensing service. The functions of the SF mentioned in this application include but are not limited to one or more of the following functions: performing sensing service quality (QoS) parameter conversion (i.e., transmitting information such as the sensing service type or identifier, QoS requirements, and sensing measurement data reporting period to the sensing node that performs sensing), triggering sensing services, terminating sensing services, controlling sensing nodes to sense according to sensing service requirements, processing sensing measurement data, or providing open sensing results. Figure 3 For other network elements shown in , please refer to the explanation of network elements in the 5G system architecture, and no further description will be given here.

[0074] 3. Perception

[0075] According to the difference in the sensing signal transmitting and receiving nodes when executing the sensing service, the sensing mode (also called sensing mode) can be divided into: A-send and A-receive mode and A-send and B-receive mode. Among them, the A-send and A-receive mode can also be called a self-send and self-receive mode, for example, network device A is both a sensing signal transmitter and a sensing signal receiver, and terminal device A is both a sensing signal transmitter and a sensing signal receiver; the A-send and A-receive mode can also be called a non-spontaneous self-receive mode, for example, network device A is a sensing signal transmitter and network device B is a sensing signal receiver; or, terminal device A is a sensing signal transmitter and terminal device B is a sensing signal receiver; or, network device A is a sensing signal transmitter and terminal device B is a sensing signal receiver; or, terminal device A is a sensing signal transmitter and terminal device B is a sensing signal receiver; or, terminal device A is a sensing signal transmitter and network device B is a sensing signal receiver.

[0076] In the communication perception integrated system, there is a need for perception switching, and in the process of perception switching according to the perception switching need, how to ensure the continuity of perception services is an urgent problem to be solved. In order to solve this problem, the present application provides a perception service management method, device, chip and module equipment.

[0077] The following is a further detailed description of the perception service management method, device, chip and module device provided in the embodiments of the present application. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified in the following text, the perception nodes (including source perception nodes and target perception nodes) mentioned in this application can be either terminal devices or network devices, and this application does not make specific restrictions; the perception management node mentioned in this application is a perception node with control capabilities, for example, it can be a network device or SF network element with control capabilities, and this application does not make specific restrictions either.

[0078] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 It is a flow chart of a perception service management method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 The execution subject of the method shown may be a perception management node, or a chip in a perception management node; or, the execution subject may be a source perception node, or a chip in a source perception node; or, the execution subject may be a target perception node, or a chip in a target perception node. Figure 4 The following is an example of the method execution subjects, taking the perception management node, source perception node and target perception node as examples. Figure 4 As shown, the perception service management method includes the following steps.

[0079] S401: A sensing management node receives a first sensing result from a source sensing node and a second sensing result from a target sensing node, wherein the first sensing result is obtained by the source sensing node according to a first sensing measurement configuration, and the second sensing result is obtained by the target sensing node according to a second sensing measurement configuration.

[0080] That is to say, during the perception switching process, after the target perception node has begun to perform the perception service according to the second perception measurement configuration, the source perception node still perceives the perception target according to the first perception measurement configuration to obtain the first perception result, and sends the first perception result to the perception management node. The target perception node perceives the perception target according to the second perception measurement configuration to obtain the second perception result, and sends the second perception result to the perception management node.

[0081] It should be noted that, 1. The source sensing node mentioned in this application is the sensing node used to perform the sensing service before the sensing switch is completed, and the target sensing node is the sensing node used to take over the source sensing node to perform the sensing service after the sensing switch is completed. Exemplarily, sensing node 1 performs sensing service 1 at time 1, and the sensing switch is completed at time 2 after time 1, and sensing node 2 takes over sensing node 1 to perform sensing service 1, that is, sensing node 1 can be regarded as the source sensing node, and sensing node 2 can be regarded as the target sensing node. 2. The perception measurement configuration mentioned in this application includes but is not limited to resource configuration, reporting configuration or perception configuration; wherein the resource configuration is used to configure the time domain resources and frequency domain resources for the perception node to receive / send the perception signal; the reporting configuration is used to configure the reporting content of the perception node when performing the perception service (for example, the amount that the perception node needs to measure, or the parameter understood to need to be measured) and / or the reporting method of the perception result (for example, a periodic reporting method or an event-triggered reporting method), and the perception configuration is used to configure the perception mode (that is, the A sends and A receives method, or the A sends and B receives method) and / or the role of the perception node when performing the perception service (that is, the perception node is a perception signal receiving end and / or a perception signal sending end), etc.

[0082] S402: The perception management node determines, based on the first perception result and the second perception result, that the perception target of the target perception node is the same as that of the source perception node.

[0083] After receiving the first perception result, the perception management node analyzes and processes the first perception result to determine the perception target corresponding to the first perception result, that is, the perception target of the source perception node to perform the perception service. In addition, after receiving the second perception result, the perception management node analyzes and processes the second perception result to determine the perception target corresponding to the second perception result, that is, the perception target of the target perception node to perform the perception service. Further, the perception management node determines whether the perception target of the target perception node is the same as that of the source perception node. In the case that the perception target of the target perception node is the same as that of the source perception node, the perception management node performs the operation of S403.

[0084] In a possible implementation, when the perception targets of the target perception node and the source perception node are different, the perception management node sends a notification message to the target perception node, and the notification message is used to notify the target perception node that the perception target is different from the source perception node. After receiving the notification message, the target perception node performs the perception service based on the second perception measurement configuration again, and sends the second perception result to the perception management node. The perception management node records the number of perception failures of the target perception node (that is, it can be understood as the number of times the perception result reported by the target perception node is different from the perception target of the source perception node before the perception result reported by the target perception node is the same as the perception target of the source perception node). If the number of perception failures is greater than the first threshold, the perception management node instructs the target perception node to stop perceiving according to the second perception measurement configuration and reselect the target perception node. Among them, the first threshold is a preset threshold, which can be adjusted according to the specific application scenario. The specific value of the first threshold is not specifically limited in this application.

[0085] In a possible implementation, when the target sensing node and the source sensing node have different sensing targets, the sensing management node modifies the second sensing measurement configuration to a third sensing measurement configuration according to the second sensing result; and sends the third sensing measurement configuration to the target sensing node. Further, the target sensing node performs the sensing service again according to the third sensing measurement configuration. The sensing management node records the number of sensing failures of the target sensing node. If the number of sensing failures of the target sensing node recorded by the sensing management node is greater than a first threshold, the sensing management node instructs the target sensing node to stop sensing according to the second sensing measurement configuration and reselect the target sensing node.

[0086] S403: The perception management node sends an indication message to the source perception node, where the indication message is used to instruct the node to stop perceiving the perception target.

[0087] When the perception targets of the target perception node and the source perception node are the same, the target perception node can be regarded as successfully taking over the source perception node to perform the perception service, and the perception switching is completed. Then, the perception management node sends an indication message to the source perception node, which is used to instruct to stop perceiving the perception target.

[0088] It should be noted that the instruction to stop perceiving the perception target mentioned in the present application includes any of the following understandings: First, instructing the source perception node to stop perceiving the perception target, that is, after the perception switching is completed, the source perception node neither acts as a perception signal receiving end nor as a perception signal sending end. Second, during the process of the source perception node perceiving the perception target, the role of the perception signal receiving end or the role of the perception signal sending end is stopped, that is, after the perception switching is completed, during the process of perceiving the perception target, the source perception node no longer sends a perception signal or no longer receives a perception signal. Exemplarily, in the process of the source sensing node sensing the sensing target, the source sensing node is both the sender and the receiver of the sensing signal. In this case, the sensing management node sends indication information to the source sensing node to instruct the source sensing node to no longer sense the sensing target. This can be understood as the target sensing node acting as the sender and the receiver of the sensing signal after the sensing switch is completed. Alternatively, the sensing management node sends indication information to the source sensing node to instruct the source sensing node to stop acting as the receiver of the sensing signal. This can be understood as the source sensing node acting as the sender and the receiver of the sensing signal after the sensing switch is completed. Alternatively, the sensing management node sends indication information to the source sensing node to instruct the source sensing node to stop acting as the receiver of the sensing signal. This can be understood as the target sensing node acting as the sender and the receiver of the sensing signal after the sensing switch is completed. Alternatively, the sensing management node sends indication information to the source sensing node to instruct the source sensing node to stop acting as the sender of the sensing signal. This can be understood as the target sensing node acting as the sender and the receiver of the sensing signal after the sensing switch is completed.

[0089] By implementing Figure 4 In the perception service management method shown, when the target perception node has sensed the perception target according to the second perception measurement configuration (or understood as performing the perception service), the source perception node will still sense the perception target according to the first perception measurement configuration (or understood as performing the perception service) until the perception management node determines that the perception target of the target perception node is the same as that of the source perception node (or understood as the target perception node can take over the source perception node to perform the perception service). The source perception node will stop sensing the perception target, thereby avoiding the situation where the perception service performed by the target perception node according to the second perception measurement configuration after the perception switching is different from the perception service performed by the source perception node before the perception switching, which is beneficial to improving the continuity of the perception service during the perception switching process.

[0090] exist Figure 4 On the basis of the provided perception service management method, the perception switching process before the perception management node receives the first perception result and the second perception result (i.e., before the aforementioned S401) is explained in detail in combination with the following scenarios, including how the perception switching is triggered and how the target perception node obtains the second perception measurement configuration. It should be noted that the following perception switching processes are only exemplary explanations and should not be regarded as a specific limitation of the present application.

[0091] In scenario 1, the source sensing node is a network device and the target sensing node is a network device. Figure 5a to Figure 5d There are four optional perception switching execution processes shown. Among them:

[0092] See also Figure 5a A schematic diagram of a perception switching process is provided, and the perception switching process includes the following S501-S508.

[0093] in:

[0094] S501. The perception management node receives a third perception result from a source perception node.

[0095] Before the sensing switch, the source sensing node senses the sensing target according to the sensing measurement configuration (i.e., the aforementioned first sensing measurement configuration) for performing the sensing service, and obtains a third sensing result. The source sensing node sends the third sensing result to the sensing management node according to the reporting configuration in the first sensing measurement configuration.

[0096] S502. The perception management node sends a switching command to the source perception node according to the third perception result.

[0097] It can be understood that after the perception management node receives the third perception result, it determines whether to trigger the perception switching according to the third perception result. When the perception management node determines not to trigger the perception switching, the operation of S502 is not performed, and the source perception node still perceives the perception target according to the first perception measurement configuration. When the perception management node determines to trigger the perception switching, the operation of S502 is performed, and the perception management node sends a switching command to the source perception node to notify the source perception node to perform the perception switching.

[0098] Exemplarily, the perception management node receives the perception result from the perception node 1, and performs data processing on the perception result to obtain the perception measurement accuracy, perception measurement delay, etc. corresponding to the perception result. When the perception measurement accuracy is low (i.e., the perception measurement accuracy is less than the second threshold) and / or the perception measurement delay is large (i.e., the perception measurement delay is greater than the third threshold), the perception management node sends a switching command to the source perception node. Among them, the second threshold and the third threshold are preset thresholds, which can be adjusted according to the specific application scenario, and the specific values ​​thereof are not specifically limited in this application.

[0099] S503: The perception management node determines a target perception node from multiple candidate perception nodes.

[0100] The perception management node can interact with multiple perception nodes before determining the target perception node to obtain the perception capabilities and data processing capabilities of each perception node. Among them, the perception capabilities include the perception modes supported by the perception nodes and the perception roles supported by the perception nodes when performing perception services; the data processing capabilities include but are not limited to the ability to process perception information, such as the ability to process original channel information, the parameters that can be measured, the parameters included in the perception results, or one or more of the delays in performing perception services. Furthermore, the perception management node determines the node that may take over the perception target from the source perception node as a candidate perception node, and determines the target perception node from the multiple candidate perception nodes.

[0101] In a possible implementation of S503, the perception management node may determine the target perception node based on one or more of the perception capability, data processing capability, load status, and resource configuration of each candidate perception node among the multiple candidate perception nodes.

[0102] Exemplarily, the candidate sensing nodes include sensing node 1 and sensing node 2, wherein both sensing node 1 and sensing node 2 can receive and send sensing signals, sensing node 1 and sensing node 2 have the same data processing capabilities, and the load of sensing node 1 is greater than the load of sensing node 2. In this case, the sensing management node determines sensing node 2 as the target sensing node from the candidate sensing nodes.

[0103] S504 (optional branch one): The perception management node receives a first perception measurement configuration.

[0104] It should be noted that the present application does not specifically limit the execution order between S504 and S503. That is, S504 can be executed after S503, before S503, or simultaneously with S503. The diagram only uses S504 being executed after S503 as an example, which should not be regarded as a specific limitation of the present application.

[0105] The perception management node may obtain the first perception measurement configuration of the source perception node performing the perception service from the memory. Alternatively, in a possible implementation, the handover command mentioned in S502 is used to obtain the first perception measurement configuration. That is, after the source perception node receives the handover command from the perception management node in S502, the source perception node sends the first perception measurement configuration to the perception management node.

[0106] In a possible implementation, after the source sensing node receives the switching command, the sensing management node receives clock information from the source sensing node, and the clock information is used for the target sensing node to perform clock synchronization with the source sensing node. It can be understood that after the sensing management node receives the clock information from the source sensing node, it can send the clock information to the target sensing node, so that the target sensing node performs clock synchronization with the source sensing node before performing the sensing service.

[0107] S505 (optional branch one): The perception management node determines a second perception measurement configuration based on the first perception measurement configuration.

[0108] It can be understood that the perception management node determines the configuration (i.e., the second perception measurement configuration) for the target perception node to perform the perception service according to the perception measurement configuration (i.e., the first perception measurement configuration) for the source perception node to perform the perception service. The second perception measurement configuration may be the same as the first perception measurement configuration, or may be different from the first perception measurement configuration, and this application does not specifically limit this.

[0109] Exemplarily, the first perception measurement configuration of the source perception node includes reporting configuration, resource configuration and perception configuration, wherein the reporting configuration mode in the reporting configuration is event-triggered reporting. In this case, the determined second perception measurement configuration may include reporting configuration, resource configuration and perception configuration, wherein the reporting configuration mode in the reporting configuration is periodic reporting with a period T1, and the resource configuration and the perception configuration are the same as those in the first perception measurement configuration.

[0110] S506 (optional branch one): The perception management node sends a second perception measurement configuration to the target perception node.

[0111] After determining the second perception measurement configuration, the perception management node sends the second perception measurement configuration to the target perception node, so that the target perception node can perform the perception service according to the second perception measurement configuration. It should be noted that when the second perception measurement configuration is the same as the first perception measurement configuration, the perception management node can perform S506 to forward the first perception measurement configuration to the target perception node after receiving the first perception measurement configuration in S504, so that the target perception node can perform the perception service according to the first perception measurement configuration (which can also be understood as the second perception measurement configuration).

[0112] S507 (optional branch two): the perception management node sends perception auxiliary information to the target perception node.

[0113] It is understandable that S507 is executed after S503. That is, after the perception management node determines the target perception node in S503, the perception management node sends perception auxiliary information to the target perception node. Among them, the perception auxiliary information is used by the target perception node to determine the second perception measurement configuration. The perception auxiliary information includes one or more of the perception service type, perception mode, quality of service (QoS) requirements, and information of the perception target. It should be noted that the information of the perception target mentioned in this application includes one or more of the attribute information of the perception target (such as shape, size or height, etc.), the movement information of the perception target (such as moving direction or moving speed, etc.), or the identification information of the perception target; the full text is as follows.

[0114] S508 (optional branch two): The target perception node determines a second perception measurement configuration according to the perception auxiliary information.

[0115] The target sensing node determines the second sensing measurement configuration for performing the sensing service according to the requirements of the sensing service indicated in the sensing assistance information. Exemplarily, the sensing assistance information includes the sensing mode as A-send and A-receive, and the sensing accuracy is P1. In this case, the target sensing node may determine that the sensing mode in the second sensing measurement configuration is A-send and A-receive, and the role of the target sensing node in performing the sensing service is the sensing signal transmitter and the sensing signal receiver, and determine the reporting period and the time-frequency resources of the sensing signal according to the sensing accuracy P1.

[0116] It should be noted that the method for the target perception node to obtain the second perception measurement configuration described in branch one and the method for the target perception node to obtain the second perception measurement configuration described in branch two can be executed separately; they can also be executed in coordination to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the target perception node in obtaining the second perception measurement configuration. For example, after determining the target perception node, the perception management node sends the recommended configuration for executing the perception service (i.e., the second perception measurement configuration mentioned in S505 and S506) and perception auxiliary information to the target perception node. Furthermore, the target perception node modifies the recommended configuration (i.e., the second perception measurement configuration mentioned in S505 and S506) according to the perception auxiliary information, and obtains the perception measurement configuration for the target perception node to execute the perception service (i.e., the second perception measurement configuration in S508).

[0117] See also Figure 5b A schematic diagram of another perception switching process is provided, and the perception switching process includes the following S511-S518. Among them:

[0118] S511. The perception management node obtains the position information of the perception target.

[0119] The position information of the perceived target includes, but is not limited to, one or more of the approximate position of the perceived target, the motion state of the perceived target, the motion direction of the perceived target, or the surrounding environment information of the perceived target.

[0120] In a possible implementation, the perception management node may roughly determine the location information of the perception target according to the perception result of the source perception node on the perception target.

[0121] In another possible implementation, in addition to the source sensing node performing the sensing service on the sensing target, other sensing nodes (such as the first sensing node) also perform the sensing service on the sensing target at the same time, and the sensing management node can determine the orientation information of the sensing target according to the sensing result of the first sensing node. The sensing service performed by the first sensing node on the sensing target can be the same as the sensing service performed by the source sensing node, or it can be different, and this application does not specifically limit this.

[0122] S512. The perception management node sends a switching command to the source perception node according to the location information of the perception target.

[0123] The perception management node determines, based on the orientation information of the perception target, that the source perception node is no longer suitable for perceiving the perception target, and then the perception management node sends a switching command to the source perception node to trigger the source perception node to switch the perception service.

[0124] In a possible implementation, the perception management node determines, based on the target's orientation information, that the perception target exceeds or is about to exceed the perception range of the source perception node (or understood as the range in which the source perception node transmits a perception signal), and then the perception management node sends a switching command to the source perception node.

[0125] S513: The perception management node determines a target perception node from multiple candidate perception nodes.

[0126] S514 (optional branch one): The perception management node receives a first perception measurement configuration.

[0132] See also Figure 5c A schematic diagram of another perception switching process is provided, and the perception switching process includes the following S521-S528. Among them:

[0133] S521. The perception management node receives a perception switching request from a source perception node.

[0134] In the case where the source sensing node can trigger the sensing switch by itself, the source sensing node sends a sensing switch request to the sensing management node according to its own load status and / or the quality of receiving / sending the sensing signal when performing the sensing service.

[0135] Exemplarily, when the sensing node 1 performs a sensing service on the sensing target, it is both a sensing signal transmitter and a sensing signal receiver. When the signal quality received by the sensing node 1 is poor, or the sensing node 1 is currently heavily loaded and the execution priority of the sensing service is low, the source sensing node sends a sensing switching request to the sensing management node.

[0136] S522. The perception management node sends a switching command to the source perception node according to the perception switching request.

[0137] The perception management node determines to agree to the source node to perform perception switching according to the received perception switching request, and sends a switching command to the source perception node.

[0144] Among them, the specific implementation methods of S523-S528 can refer to the description of the specific implementation methods of S503-S508 mentioned above, and will not be elaborated here.

[0145] See also Figure 5d A schematic diagram of another perception switching process is provided, and the perception switching process includes the following S531-S5311. Among them:

[0146] S531. The perception management node sends multiple candidate perception nodes and perception auxiliary information to the source perception node.

[0147] Before the source sensing node performs the sensing service, the sensing management node sends the sensing auxiliary information and multiple candidate sensing nodes (or understood as information of multiple candidate sensing nodes or identifiers of multiple candidate sensing nodes) to the source node. Further, the source sensing node can determine the first sensing measurement configuration for performing the sensing service based on the sensing auxiliary information. The sensing auxiliary information is used by the source sensing node to determine the target sensing node from multiple candidate sensing nodes, and the sensing auxiliary information includes one or more of the sensing service type, sensing mode, QoS requirement, and sensing target information.

[0148] S532: The source sensing node determines a target sensing node from multiple candidate sensing nodes based on the sensing auxiliary information.

[0149] When the source sensing node determines to trigger sensing switching, for example, when the source sensing node receives a poor signal or has a heavy load, the source sensing node may determine a target sensing node from a plurality of candidate sensing nodes according to the sensing auxiliary information.

[0150] In a possible implementation, the source sensing node sends a sensing switching request to the candidate sensing node according to the sensing auxiliary information, and after receiving a sensing switching confirmation sent by the candidate sensing node, the source sensing node determines the candidate sensing node as the target sensing node.

[0151] S533 (optional branch one): the source sensing node sends a second sensing measurement configuration to the target sensing node based on the first sensing measurement configuration.

[0152] After determining the target sensing node, the source sensing node determines the recommended configuration (i.e., the second sensing measurement configuration) for the target sensing node to perform the sensing service according to the first sensing measurement configuration for performing the sensing service. The second sensing measurement configuration may be the same as the first sensing measurement configuration, or may be different from the first sensing measurement configuration, which is not specifically limited in this application.

[0153] S534 (optional branch two): the source sensing node sends the sensing auxiliary information to the target sensing node.

[0154] After determining the target perception node, the source perception node does not directly send the perception measurement configuration for performing the perception service to the target perception node, but sends the perception assistance information to the target perception node, so that the target perception node can determine the second perception measurement configuration for performing the perception service according to the perception assistance information.

[0155] S535 (optional branch two): The target perception node determines a second perception measurement configuration according to the perception auxiliary information.

[0156] After the target sensing node receives the sensing assistance information for performing the sensing service, the target sensing node determines a second sensing measurement configuration for performing the sensing service according to the sensing assistance information.

[0157] In a possible implementation, the way in which the target perception node obtains the second perception measurement configuration described in branch one and the way in which the target perception node obtains the second perception measurement configuration described in branch two can be executed in coordination to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the target perception node in obtaining the second perception measurement configuration. For example, after the source perception node determines the target perception node, the source perception node sends the recommended configuration for executing the perception service (i.e., the second perception measurement configuration in S533) and perception auxiliary information to the target perception node. Furthermore, the target perception node modifies the recommended configuration (i.e., the second perception measurement configuration in S533) according to the perception auxiliary information, and obtains the perception measurement configuration for the target perception node to execute the perception service (i.e., the second perception measurement configuration in S535).

[0158] S536 (optional branch three): the source perception node sends the identifier of the target perception node to the perception management node.

[0159] After the source sensing node determines the target sensing node, the source sensing node sends the identifier of the target sensing node to the sensing management node to inform the sensing management node to switch the sensing service to the target sensing node for execution.

[0160] In a possible implementation manner, the source sensing node may also send the first sensing measurement configuration to the sensing management node.

[0161] S537 (optional branch three): the perception management node sends perception auxiliary information to the target perception node.

[0162] The perception management node sends the perception auxiliary information to the target perception node according to the identifier of the target perception node.

[0163] In a possible implementation, the perception management node may further send the first perception measurement configuration to the target perception node, so that the target perception node determines the second perception measurement configuration according to the perception auxiliary information and the first perception measurement configuration.

[0164] S538 (optional branch three): The target perception node determines a second perception measurement configuration according to the perception auxiliary information.

[0165] Among them, the specific implementation methods of S537-S538 can refer to the description of the specific implementation methods of S527-S528 mentioned above, and will not be repeated here.

[0166] In scenario 2: the source sensing node is a terminal device, and the target sensing node is a network device. In scenario 2, the interaction between the source sensing node and the sensing management node is performed through the source network device, which is a network device that provides services to the source sensing node. Specifically, scenario 2 corresponds to Figure 6a to Figure 6c The following are three optional perception switching execution processes.

[0228] That is, after the perception management node determines the target perception node, it determines whether the target network device corresponding to the target perception node is the same as the source network device. If they are not the same, Figure 7a If the target network device is the same as the source network device, execute Figure 7a Branch three in.

[0229] Exemplarily, both terminal device 1 and terminal device 2 are served by network device 1. When the source sensing node is terminal device 1 and the sensing management node determines that the target sensing node is terminal device 2, the sensing management node sends identification information of terminal device 2 to the network device 1, so that the network device 1 can subsequently determine a second sensing measurement configuration for the terminal device 2.

[0230] S7011 (optional branch three): The target network device sends the second perception measurement configuration to the target perception node.

[0231] Exemplarily, following the example of S7010, the network device 1 may determine the second perception measurement configuration of the terminal device 2 based on the perception auxiliary information and / or the first perception measurement configuration of the perception service performed by the terminal device 1, and send the second perception measurement configuration to the terminal device 2.
