[0002] In recent years, with the development of communication technology, a communication-perception integrated system based on the fifth generation mobile communication technology (5G) has been proposed. Compared with independent communication systems, the communication-perception integrated system can provide information at the perception level and provide diversified intelligent services for consumers and industrial users.

[0003] At present, there are many modes of communication perception integrated systems based on 5G technology, such as: single base station self-transmitting and self-receiving mode, dual base station one-transmitting and one-receiving mode. In addition, different communication perception services match different perception scenarios and the adapted communication perception modes are also different. Therefore, how to match the corresponding perception mode for the perception service has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the invention

[0051] In recent years, with the development of communication technology, an integrated communication and perception system based on 5G technology has been proposed. Compared with independent communication systems, the integrated communication and perception system can provide information at the perception level and provide diversified intelligent services for consumers and industrial users.

[0052] At present, the integrated communication perception system based on 5G technology has multiple perception modes, such as: single base station self-transmitting and self-receiving mode, dual base station one-transmitting and one-receiving mode, base station transmitting and UE receiving mode, single UE self-transmitting and self-receiving mode, dual UE one-transmitting and one-receiving mode, UE transmitting and base station receiving mode. For example, Figure 1A As shown, it shows the sending and receiving of information under different perception modes.

[0053] Moreover, different communication sensing services match different sensing scenarios and are adapted to different communication sensing modes. Therefore, how to determine the corresponding sensing mode according to different sensing services becomes an urgent problem to be solved.

[0054] In order to solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for determining a perception mode. In the method, the SF network element obtains the service information of the target perception service. Then, the SF network element determines the target perception mode from the preset perception mode according to the service information of the target perception service. In this way, the SF network element can determine the corresponding perception mode for different perception services according to the service information of the perception service, thereby improving the effect of executing the perception service.

[0055] The implementation environment of the embodiments of the present application is introduced below.

[0056] like Figure 1B , which is a system architecture diagram of a communication system provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0057] The terminal equipment and network entities are described as follows:

AF network elements can exist for different application services and can be owned by operators or trusted third parties.

[0065] The Authentication Server Function (AUSF) network element is used to perform security authentication on the UE network element when the UE network element accesses the network.

[0066] Network Slice Selection Function (NSSF) network element: Determines the network slice instance that the UE network element is allowed to access based on the slice selection auxiliary information, contract information, etc. of the UE network element.

[0067] Policy Control Function (PCF) network element: provides configuration policy information for UE network elements and provides policy information for controlling UE network elements for the control plane network elements of the network (for example, AMF, SMF).

[0068] N1, N2, N3, N4, N5, N6, N7, N8, N9, N10, N11, N12, N13, N14, N15, and N22 are interface serial numbers.

[0069] like Figure 2 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the 5G service-oriented architecture of an embodiment of the present application.

[0070] Among them, Nnef is the service-based interface provided by the network exposure function (NEF) network element, Nnrf is the service-based interface provided by the network repository function (NRF) network element, Npcf is the service-based interface provided by the PCF network element, Nudm is the service-based interface provided by the UDM network element, Naf is the service-based interface provided by the AF network element, Nausf is the service-based interface provided by the AUSF network element, Namf is the service-based interface provided by the AMF network element, Nsmf is the service-based interface provided by the SMF network element, and Nsf is the service-based interface provided by the SF network element, which are used to call corresponding service operations. N1, N2, N3, N4, N6 and N9 are interface serial numbers.

[0071] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0072] like Figure 3 As shown, a method for determining a perception mode provided in an embodiment of the present application includes:

[0073] S301. The SF network element obtains service information of a target sensing service.

[0074] The service information of the sensing service includes: sensing area information, sensing object information, and sensing type information. The sensing area information is used to indicate the execution scope of the sensing service. The sensing object information is used to indicate the target subject of the sensing service. The sensing type is used to indicate the specific sensing service.

[0075] Exemplarily, the service information of the sensing service may be: sensing area information: the intersection of Renmin Road and Jianshe Road, sensing object information: pedestrians, and sensing type information: the number of people passing through the intersection within one minute.

[0076] It should be noted that the service information of the target perception service acquired by the SF network element may be the received service information of the target perception service, or may be the pre-stored service information of the target perception service.

[0077] In a possible implementation, the SF network element may receive a perception service request message from the AF network element, wherein the perception service request message is used to request processing of the perception service, and the perception service request message includes: service information of the target perception service.

[0078] Optionally, the awareness service request message also includes first information, where the first information is used to indicate a request to process the awareness service.

[0079] Exemplarily, the first information may be a subscription event (Event ID). When the subscription event (Event ID) is set to "Sensing", the sensing service request message is used to request processing of the sensing service.

[0080] That is to say, the perception service request message includes: perception area information, perception object information, perception type information, and first information.

[0081] S302. The SF network element determines a target sensing mode from preset sensing modes according to the service information of the target sensing service.

[0082] The preset sensing mode is a sensing mode pre-stored in the SF network element, and the preset sensing mode includes: a single base station self-transmitting and self-receiving mode and a dual base station one-transmitting and one-receiving mode.

[0083] In a possible implementation, the SF network element may determine the service area of ​​the target perception service based on the perception area information in the service information of the target perception service. The SF network element may determine the service object of the target perception service based on the perception object information in the service information of the target perception service. The SF network element may determine the service type of the target perception service based on the perception type information in the service information of the target perception service. Afterwards, the SF network element determines the target perception mode based on the service area, service object and service type of the target perception service. Among them, the target perception mode can support the service area, service object and service type of the target perception service.

[0084] It should be noted that different sensing modes support different sensing areas, sensing objects, and sensing types of sensing services. Therefore, the SF network element can match the corresponding sensing mode for the sensing service through the sensing area information, sensing object information, and sensing type information.

[0085] In an embodiment of the present application, the target sensing mode includes: a single base station self-transmitting and self-receiving mode or a dual base station one-transmitting and one-receiving mode.

[0086] It should be noted that, when the target sensing mode is a single-base station self-transmitting and self-receiving mode, the number of target base stations is one. When the target sensing mode is a dual-base station one-transmitting and one-receiving mode, the number of target base stations is two.

[0087] Exemplarily, the service information of the sensing service is: sensing area information: intersection of Renmin Road and Jianshe Road, sensing object information: pedestrians, sensing type information: number of people passing through the intersection within one minute. The SF network element determines the target sensing mode as a single base station self-transmitting and self-receiving mode based on the above sensing service information.

[0088] It is understandable that the SF network element can obtain the service information of the target perception service, and then the SF network element can determine the target perception mode from the preset perception mode according to the obtained service information of the target perception service. In other words, the SF network element can match the corresponding perception mode for different perception services according to different perception service scenarios, thereby improving the perception effect of the perception service.

[0089] The following describes the process of the SF network element receiving the perception service request message from the AF network element. Figure 4 As shown, a method for determining a perception mode provided in an embodiment of the present application is provided. In the method, S301 may include:

[0090] S401. The AF network element sends a first target instruction to the NEF network element.

[0091] The first target instruction includes: service information of the sensing service, a service tag (ie, the first information), and AF network element target port information.

[0092] In the embodiment of the present application, the service tag is marked as perception, which is used to indicate that the current service is a perception service. The AF network element target port information is used to record the port information of the AF network element receiving the notification.

[0093] That is, the AF network element can receive subsequent notification messages through the AF network element port information.

[0094] Exemplarily, the first target instruction may be a "Nnef_EventExposure_Subscribe Request message", and the "Nnef_EventExposure_Subscribe Request message" includes: service information of the perception service, a service tag (ie, the first information), and AF network element target port information.

[0095] Correspondingly, the NEF network element may receive the first target instruction from the AF network element.

[0096] S402. The NEF network element authorizes the current service based on the service tag.

[0097] In the embodiment of the present application, the NEF network element authorizes the current service based on the service tag. If the service tag is marked as perceived, the current service is authorized and S403 is executed. If the service tag is not marked as perceived, the current service is not authorized. In other words, if the service tag is marked as perceived, it means that the current service is a perceived service, and the NEF network element can authorize the current service, and other service types will not be authorized.

[0098] Among them, other service types are services received by the NEF network element from the AF network element, and the service tags are not marked as perceived services.

[0099] For example, if the service information of the sensing service in the first target instruction is: sensing area information: intersection of Renmin Road and Jianshe Road, sensing object information: pedestrians, sensing type information: number of people passing through the intersection within one minute. The subscription event (i.e. service tag) is set to "Sensing". AF network element target port information: port 8091. Then the current service is a sensing service, and NEF authorizes the sensing service.

[0100] S403. The NEF network element sends a second target instruction to the UDM network element.

[0101] The second target instruction includes: service information of the sensing service, service tag, and NEF network element target port information.

[0102] The service tag is marked as perception, which indicates that the current service is a perception service. The NEF network element target port information is used to record the port information of the NEF network element receiving the notification.

[0103] That is, the NEF network element can receive subsequent notification messages through the NEF network element port information.

[0104] Exemplarily, the second target instruction may be a "Nudm_EventExposure_Subscribe Request message", and the "Nudm_EventExposure_Subscribe Request message" includes: service information of the perception service, a service tag (ie, the first information), and NEF network element target port information.

[0105] Correspondingly, the UDM network element may receive the second target instruction from the NEF network element.

[0106] S404. The UDM network element selects a subsequent execution network element based on the service tag.

[0107] In a possible implementation, the UDM network element judges the current service based on the service tag. If the service tag is perception, the UDM network element selects the SF network element to execute the perception service and executes S505.

[0108] S405. The UDM network element sends a third target instruction to the SF network element.

[0109] The third target instruction includes: service information of the perception service, service tag, and NEF network element target port information.

[0110] Exemplarily, the third target instruction may be an "Nsf_EventExposure_Subscribe Request message", and the "Nsf_EventExposure_Subscribe Request message" includes: service information of the perception service, a service tag (ie, the first information), and NEF network element target port information.

[0111] That is to say, if the UDM network element passes the judgment on the current service, indicating that the current service is a perception service, the UDM network element sends a third target instruction to the SF network element.

[0112] It is understandable that, in the process of the AF network element sending the perception service request message to the SF network element, the NEF network element can authorize the perception service, and the UDM network element can determine the next network element to execute the perception service. In this way, other service types except the perception service can be excluded, and the perception service process can be optimized.

[0113] In some embodiments, after the SF network element determines the target perception mode based on the service information of the target perception service, the SF network element can determine an AMF network element and notify the AMF network element of the determined target perception mode and the service information of the target perception service.

[0114] like Figure 5 As shown, a method for determining a perception mode provided in an embodiment of the present application is provided. The method also includes:

[0115] S501. The SF network element determines the target AMF network element from at least one AMF network element according to the target perception mode.

[0116] Among them, the target AMF network element supports the target perception mode.

[0117] It should be noted that different AMF network elements support different perception modes.

[0118] For example, if the target sensing mode is a single base station self-transmitting and self-receiving mode, the sensing mode supported by AMF network element a is a single base station self-transmitting and self-receiving mode, and the sensing mode supported by AMF network element b is a dual base station one-transmitting and one-receiving mode. Then the target AMF network element is AMF network element a.

[0119] S502. The SF network element sends a first message to the target AMF network element.

[0120] The first message includes: target perception mode and service information of target perception service.

[0121] The service information of the target perception service includes: perception area information, perception object information, and perception type information.

[0122] Optionally, the first message may further include: SF network element target port information.

[0123] Exemplarily, the first message may be a "Namf_EventExposure_Subscribe Request message", and the "Namf_EventExposure_Subscribe Request message" includes: the target sensing mode is a single base station self-transmitting and self-receiving mode. The service information of the sensing service is: sensing area information: the intersection of Renmin Road and Jianshe Road, sensing object information: pedestrians, sensing type information: the number of people passing through the intersection within one minute. SF network element target port information.

[0124] Correspondingly, the AMF network element can receive the first message from the SF network element.

[0125] It should be noted that currently, when the AMF network element obtains the perception capability information of the base station, it needs to send a perception capability request message to the base station. The perception capability request message is used to instruct the base station to send the perception capability information of the base station to the AMF network element. After that, the base station sends the perception capability information of the base station to the AMF network element. However, each time a perception service needs to be executed, the AMF network element will send a perception capability request message to the base station to obtain the perception capability information of the base station. Figure 6 As shown, a method for determining a perception mode provided by an embodiment of the present application is provided. In the method, after S502, the method further includes:

[0126] S601. The AMF network element obtains the perception capability information of each base station in at least one base station.

[0127] Among them, the perception capability information includes: service information supported by the base station and perception modes supported by the base station.

[0128] In one possible implementation, the AMF network element obtains the perception capability information of each base station in at least one base station from the perception capability information of the base stations already stored by the AMF network element.

[0129] In another possible implementation, the base station may upload the sensing capability information of the base station to the AMF network element. Specifically, the base station may send the sensing capability information of the base station to the AMF network element, and the AMF network element stores the sensing capability information of the base station and sends a first confirmation message to the base station. The first confirmation message is used to indicate that the sensing capability information of the base station has been successfully uploaded.

[0130] That is to say, the AMF network element can obtain the perception capability information of each base station in at least one base station based on the base station perception capability reported by the base station.

[0131] In an embodiment of the present application, the base station adds the sensing capability information of the base station in the NG STEUP process message. When the base station goes online or restarts, the base station can automatically send an NG STEUP message to the AMF network element.

[0132] It is understandable that by adding the sensing capability information of the base station in the NG STEUP process message, the base station can automatically report the sensing capability information of the base station. In this way, it is convenient for the AMF network element to manage the base stations under its jurisdiction and improve the efficiency of executing sensing services.
