Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of communications, and in particular to a method for sensing a monitoring area, a sensing function network element, and a communication system. Background Art

[0002] There is a typical scenario in the existing perception services, namely, the perception intrusion monitoring and management scenario. In this scenario, within the corresponding area or range, the network needs to be able to effectively perceive objects that invade the area or range from the outside, and obtain the specific location, trajectory, movement speed, direction and other information of the object, and can effectively identify the object when necessary. This scenario includes relatively sensitive areas such as airports and ports. Summary of the invention

[0003] The inventors have noticed that in the related art, the same intrusion detection service is performed on areas with different levels. For example, the area can be set as a high-sensitivity area (perception restricted area) and a low-sensitivity area (perception sensitive area) according to the security level of the area. Therefore, if the perception service applicable to the low-sensitivity area is applied to the high-sensitivity area, the ideal intrusion monitoring result cannot be obtained. If the perception service applicable to the high-sensitivity area is applied to the low-sensitivity area, it will lead to a waste of network resources.

[0040] Technologies, methods, and apparatus known to ordinary technicians in the relevant field may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such technologies, methods, and apparatus should be considered part of the authorization specification.

[0041] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0042] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to similar items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0043] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, the explanation of the relevant equipment is as follows.

[0044] Wireless sensing device (Sensing Device) 11 refers to a device with sensing function under the management of the wireless access network, which mainly includes a base station (Sensing Base Station) with sensing capability and a user equipment (Sensing UE) with sensing capability. In the present disclosure, the wireless sensing device 11 is the main executor of the sensing service, responsible for executing specific sensing services and collecting sensing results and original sensing data.

[0045] The SF (Sensing Function) network element 12 is mainly responsible for the functions and management related to the sensing service, including but not limited to: the execution of the sensing service, the collection, storage, and processing of the sensing data and results, the coordination with the sensing service on the RAN (Radio Access Network), and the management of the sensing scene. In the present disclosure, the SF network element 12 is mainly responsible for the sensing service in the key area, including the monitoring and tracking of the sensing object, and the effective hierarchical management of the sensing area and the deployment of the sensing service.

[0046] AMF (Access and management Function) network element 13 is mainly responsible for access and mobility management of UE (User Equipment). In the present disclosure, the AMF network element 13 has been enhanced to a certain extent, that is, it cooperates with the SF network element 12 to confirm the identity of the sensing object (SensingObject) 17 with access network capability in the sensing sensitive area, confirm the authorization information, and monitor and track the location information and trajectory information.

[0047] The UDM (Unified Data Management) network element 14 is mainly responsible for signing and authorizing the legal UE, wherein the signing and authorization information also includes content for the perception service, such as signing and authorization of the perception sensitive area, that is, information such as access rights to the perception sensitive area.

[0048] The LMF (Location Management Function) network element 15 is mainly used to assist the AMF network element 13 in locating the UE and calculating the UE's location information and corresponding movement trajectory information.

[0049] The AF (Application Function) network element 16 refers to a requester or manager of a perception service outside the network, and is usually a related third-party server in the data network.

[0050] Figure 2 The flowchart of the method for sensing the monitoring area according to one embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. 1. In some embodiments, the following method for sensing the monitoring area is performed by the SF network element, including steps 21-22.

[0051] In step 21, the sensing result of the monitoring area and the sensing data of the sensing object intruding the monitoring area sent by the wireless sensing device are received.

[0052] In some embodiments, the perception data includes at least one of a position, direction, speed, trajectory, perception feature, and feature value of the perception object.

[0053] In step 22, intrusion warning management is performed on the monitoring area according to the sensing result, the sensing data and the level of the monitoring area.

[0054] In some embodiments, the level of the monitoring area is a first area level or a second area level, wherein the first area level is greater than the second area level.

[0055] For example, an area with a first area level is a high-sensitivity area (perception forbidden area), and an area with a second area level is a low-sensitivity area (perception sensitive area).

[0056] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the airport area can be divided into a high-sensitivity area 31 and a low-sensitivity area 32.

[0057] It should be noted here that corresponding embedded monitoring processing is carried out for different areas of the airport.

[0058] 1) Perception services and high-alert management in highly sensitive areas (perception restricted areas) 31: refers to areas with high requirements for perception of intrusion (such as core areas of airports and ports). The corresponding perception intrusion monitoring is usually high-frequency instantaneous perception or continuous perception. High-alert management means that when an intrusion object is sensed to enter a highly sensitive area, the perception device needs to promptly notify the network and issue a warning or take timely action.

[0059] 2) Continuous perception monitoring and early warning management of low-sensitivity areas (perception-sensitive areas) 32: refers to areas with lower requirements for perception intrusion (usually the peripheral areas of high-sensitivity areas or other areas with lower sensitivity). The corresponding perception intrusion monitoring usually requires continuous or long-term perception services. The monitoring and early warning management is that when a perception object (intrusive object) is sensed to enter the low-sensitivity area, the perception device needs to verify its identity, continuously perceive and track it, analyze its movement trajectory or behavior, and provide necessary feedback, warnings or intervention in a timely manner.

[0060] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the wireless sensing device 33 detects the high-sensitivity area 31 and the low-sensitivity area 32 respectively. If the legal sensing object 34 moves along the track 35 in the low-sensitivity area 32, the wireless sensing device 33 only tracks the legal sensing object 34. If the illegal sensing object 36 moves in the low-sensitivity area 32 and approaches the high-sensitivity area 31, the wireless sensing device 33 sends a warning message to the network side device in time.

[0061] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned step of performing intrusion warning management on the monitoring area includes: when the perception result indicates that a perceived object is captured in the monitoring area and the level of the monitoring area is a first area level, sending a first alarm message to the AF network element, wherein the first alarm message includes perception data, so that the AF network element can perform security processing on the perceived object based on the perception data.

[0062] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned intrusion warning management of the monitoring area includes: when the perception result indicates that the perception object is captured in the monitoring area and the level of the monitoring area is the second area level, the indication information used to instruct the wireless sensing device to track the perception object is sent to the wireless sensing device.

[0063] In some embodiments, when the perception result indicates that the perception object is captured in the monitoring area and the level of the monitoring area is the second area level, the motion trajectory of the perception object is tracked according to the perception data. When the motion trajectory meets the predetermined condition, a second alarm message is sent to the AF network element, wherein the second alarm message includes the motion trajectory of the perception object.

[0064] In the method for sensing the monitoring area provided in the above embodiment of the present disclosure, by deploying corresponding levels of sensing services for sensing areas with different levels, the corresponding intrusion warning management is provided for the sensing areas, while the utilization efficiency of network resources can be effectively improved.

[0065] In some embodiments, after a sensing object is discovered in a monitoring area, the identity and legitimacy of the sensing object are confirmed through collaboration between different network elements in the network.

[0066] In some embodiments, when a sensed object is discovered in a monitoring area having a second area level, the following steps are performed.

[0067] 1) Send a legitimacy confirmation request to the AMF network element, where the legitimacy confirmation request includes the location information of the sensing object.

[0068] In some embodiments, the position information of the perceived object includes at least one of the current position and trajectory information of the perceived object.

[0069] For example, the legality confirmation request also includes identification information of the sensing object.

[0070] 2) Upon receiving the first legitimacy confirmation result sent by the AMF network element, the perception object is registered and registered using the authorization information and identification information included in the first legitimacy confirmation result.

[0071] 3) Upon receiving the second legitimacy confirmation result sent by the AMF network element to indicate that the perceived object is not a user device accessing the network, send legitimacy query information to the AF network element to query the legitimacy of the perceived object.

[0072] It should be noted here that if the SF network element interacts with the AMF network element and confirms that the perceived object found in the monitoring area with the second area level is actually a UE accessing the network, the SF network element registers and registers the perceived object using the authorization information and identification information of the corresponding UE provided by the AMF network element. If the perceived object is not a UE accessing the network, the SF network element sends a legitimacy query message to the AF network element for querying the legitimacy of the perceived object for secondary query.

Accordingly, each module such as an acquisition module, a calculation module, and an adjustment module may be implemented by a central processing unit (CPU) running instructions in a memory that execute corresponding steps, or may be implemented by a dedicated circuit that executes corresponding steps.

[0091] The AF network element 53 is configured to receive the first alarm information sent by the perception function network element 51, and perform security processing on the perception object according to the perception data included in the first alarm information.

[0092] It should be noted here that, when the sensing result indicates that the sensing object is captured in the monitoring area and the level of the monitoring area is the first area level, the SF network element sends the first alarm information to the AF network element.

[0093] In some embodiments, the AF network element 53 is further configured to receive the second alarm information sent by the perception function network element 51, and perform safety processing on the perception object according to the motion trajectory of the perception object included in the second alarm information.

[0094] It should be noted here that, when the sensing result indicates that the sensing object is captured in the monitoring area and the level of the monitoring area is the second area level, the SF network element tracks the motion trajectory of the sensing object according to the sensing data, and sends the second alarm information to the AF network element when the motion trajectory meets the predetermined conditions.

[0095] Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a communication system according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 7 As shown, the communication system includes a perception function network element 71, an AMF network element 72, an LMF network element 73 and a UDM network element 74, wherein the perception function network element 51 is Figure 4 The perception function network element involved in any one of the embodiments.

[0096] The AMF network element 72 is configured to receive a legitimacy confirmation request sent by the perception function network element 71, wherein the legitimacy confirmation request includes location information of a perception object located in a monitoring area with a second area level, obtain relevant information of a user device in a neighboring area of ​​the location information, and use the LMF network element 73 to calculate the location information of the user device based on the relevant information of the user device. If the location information of the user device is the same as the location information of the perception object, obtain the contract and authorization information of the user device from the UDM network element 74. If the user device has the contract and authorization information of the monitoring area, send a first legitimacy confirmation result to the perception function network element 71, wherein the first legitimacy confirmation result includes authorization information and identification information of the user device.

[0097] For example, the location information of the user equipment includes at least one of the current location of the user equipment and the track information of the user equipment.

[0101] Figure 8 The present invention is a flowchart of a method for sensing a monitoring area according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0102] At step 80, a sensing operation is triggered.

[0103] For example, the sensing operation may be triggered by an AF network element, a SF network element, or a wireless sensing device.

[0104] In step 81, the wireless sensing device performs a sensing operation on the monitoring area when the wireless side sensing service is triggered.

[0105] For example, the level of the monitoring area is a first area level or a second area level, wherein the first area level is greater than the second area level.

[0106] In step 82, when the wireless side sensing service is completed, the sensing result is sent to the SF network element. If a sensing object is captured in the monitoring area, the sensing data of the sensing object is sent to the SF network element.

[0107] For example, the perception result includes the perception data of the perceived object.

[0108] For example, the perception data includes at least one of the position, direction, speed, trajectory, perception feature, and feature value of the perception object.

[0109] In step 83a, when the sensing result indicates that the sensing object is captured in the monitoring area and the level of the monitoring area is the first area level, the SF network element sends a first alarm message to the AF network element, wherein the first alarm message includes the sensing data.

[0110] In step 84a, the AF network element performs security processing on the sensed object according to the sensed data.

[0111] For example, security processing of the perceived object includes driving away the perceived object, capturing the perceived object, etc.

[0112] In step 83b, when the sensing result indicates that the sensing object is captured in the monitoring area and the level of the monitoring area is the second area level, the SF network element sends instruction information for instructing the wireless sensing device to track the sensing object to the wireless sensing device.

[0113] In step 84b, when the sensing result indicates that the sensing object is captured in the monitoring area and the level of the monitoring area is the second area level, the wireless sensing device tracks the movement trajectory of the sensing object according to the sensing data.

[0114] For example, the motion trajectory of the perceived object includes information such as the speed, direction, and real-time position of the perceived object.

[0115] In some embodiments, the SF network element continuously analyzes the motion trajectory of the perceived object, and sends a second alarm message to the AF network element when the motion trajectory meets a predetermined condition, wherein the second alarm message includes the motion trajectory of the perceived object, so that the AF network element performs corresponding processing according to the second alarm message.

[0116] Fig. 9 The present invention is a flowchart of a method for sensing a monitoring area according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0117] In step 91, the SF network element performs a sensing operation.

[0118] In step 92, when the SF network element discovers a sensed object in a monitoring area with a second area level, the SF network element sends a legitimacy confirmation request to the AMF network element, wherein the legitimacy confirmation request includes location information of the sensed object.

[0119] For example, the position information of the perceived object includes at least one of the current position and trajectory information of the perceived object.

[0120] In some embodiments, the legality confirmation request further includes identification information of the sensing object. For example, the identification information of the sensing object is generated by sensing features or feature values ​​of the sensing object.

[0121] In step 93, the AMF network element obtains relevant information of the corresponding UE of the perception object according to the legitimacy confirmation request sent by the SF network element.

[0122] In some embodiments, the AMF network element obtains relevant information of the UE in a vicinity of the location information of the perceived object.

[0123] In step 94, the identity of the UE is verified.

[0124] In some embodiments, the AMF network element sends the relevant information of the UE to the LMF network element. The LMF network element calculates the location information of the UE based on the relevant information of the UE, and sends the location information of the UE to the AMF network element.

[0125] In step 95, the subscription and authorization information of the UE is obtained.

[0126] In some embodiments, the AMF network element obtains the subscription and authorization information of the user equipment from the UDM network element based on the location information of the UE.

[0127] In step 96, the AMF network element sends the first legitimacy confirmation result to the SF network element, where the first legitimacy confirmation result includes authorization information and UE identification information.

[0128] In step 97, the SF network element registers and registers the sensing object using the authorization information and identification information included in the first legitimacy confirmation result.

[0129] It should be noted here that if the SF network element interacts with the AMF network element and confirms that the perceived object discovered in the monitoring area with the second area level is actually a UE accessing the network, the SF network element uses the authorization information and identification information of the corresponding UE provided by the AMF network element to register and register the perceived object.

[0130] Fig.10 The present invention is a flowchart of a method for sensing a monitoring area according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0131] In step 101, the SF network element performs a sensing operation.

[0132] In step 102, when the SF network element discovers a sensed object in a monitoring area with a second area level, the SF network element sends a legitimacy confirmation request to the AMF network element, wherein the legitimacy confirmation request includes location information of the sensed object.

[0133] For example, the position information of the perceived object includes at least one of the current position and trajectory information of the perceived object.

[0134] In some embodiments, the legality confirmation request further includes identification information of the sensing object. For example, the identification information of the sensing object is generated by sensing features or feature values ​​of the sensing object.

[0135] In step 103, the AMF network element obtains relevant information of the corresponding UE of the perception object according to the legitimacy confirmation request sent by the SF network element.

[0136] In some embodiments, the AMF network element obtains relevant information of the UE in a vicinity of the location information of the perceived object.

[0137] In step 104, if the location information of the UE is different from the location information of the sensing object, a second legitimacy confirmation result is sent to the SF network element, wherein the second legitimacy confirmation result is used to indicate that the sensing object is not the UE accessing the network.

[0138] In step 105, the SF network element sends legitimacy query information for querying the legitimacy of the perception object to the AF network element.

[0139] It should be noted here that if the SF network element interacts with the AMF network element and confirms that the perceived object is not the UE accessing the network, the SF network element sends legitimacy query information for querying the legitimacy of the perceived object to the AF network element for a secondary query.

[0140] In short, the core innovations of the present disclosure are as follows.

[0141] 1) This disclosure proposes a hierarchical management method under the perception intrusion monitoring service, that is, the intrusion monitoring area is divided into two parts according to the needs of the actual scene: the perception restricted area (high sensitivity area) and the perception sensitive area (low sensitivity area), and different perception business management and corresponding monitoring and early warning management are deployed for the two different scenes, that is, the high-sensitivity area implements continuous and high-intensity perception, and the early warning and timely alarm are improved for the monitored intrusion objects. The low-sensitivity area is continuously monitored and tracked.

[0142] 2) The present disclosure proposes a method for confirming the legitimacy of a perception object, that is, SF collaborates with network elements such as AMF and UDM to confirm the identity of the perception object by comparing location information and trajectory information, and confirms authorization information and contract information with UDM, thereby realizing the legitimacy confirmation of legitimate perception objects with networking capabilities under perception services.

[0143] 3) This disclosure proposes an enhancement of network capabilities, that is, the enhancement of network perception capabilities enables it to effectively perceive and monitor the perception objects in the area, as well as effectively manage related perception services. At the same time, AMF and UDM are also enhanced, that is, AMF needs to cooperate with SF to effectively confirm the identity of the perception object, and UDM needs to have the ability to sign and authorize the perception service related to the perception object (UE).

[0144] By implementing the above-mentioned embodiments of the present disclosure, the following beneficial effects can be obtained.

[0145] 1) In the development of 6G technology, synaesthesia fusion (the fusion of communication and perception systems) has been widely recognized by the industry as a core technology direction, and it is generally believed that it can be widely used in smart homes, smart transportation, low-altitude economy, health protection and other fields. Therefore, it can be seen that for operators in the future, perception services will be a huge technical and commercial growth point, that is, the solution provided by the present disclosure is very likely to bring huge commercial potential and commercial benefits to operators.

[0146] 2) Perception capability is different from actual communication transmission. Its technology is relatively complex and the amount of data is extremely large. This means that it is very difficult for operators to design, deploy and manage perception services at the network level, and the cost of upgrading and deploying is very high. Based on the relevant solution design proposed in this disclosure, the operator network is deployed in a distributed manner and has an efficient collaborative management method, which will enable lower-cost upgrades and more efficient management of perception services in the future.

[0147] 3) In the future, perception services will need to face different customers at the same time, including government and enterprise customers and a large number of individual customers, so effective perception object management, perception capability deployment, perception service collaborative management, and responding to the different needs of different customers are very important. Based on the relevant solutions proposed in this disclosure, operators can meet the different needs of different customers as much as possible in the future, expand commercial coverage as much as possible, and tap commercial potential.
