The wireless terminal may be a mobile terminal, such as a mobile phone (or "cellular" phone) and a computer with a mobile terminal, for example, a portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-built-in or vehicle-mounted mobile device, which exchanges language and / or data with the radio access network.

[0087] It should be noted that the beneficial effects brought about by the embodiments of the present application or the technical problems solved are not limited to this one, but may also include other implicit or related problems. For details, please refer to the description of the following embodiments.

[0088] The technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0089] In one embodiment, the first aspect is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, an open method for perceiving information is provided, which can be applied to Figure 1The following steps are used to illustrate the network exposure function (NEF) network element in the network element device in FIG. 1 :

[0090] S201, receiving the perception capability information of the perception device and the perception network element capability information of the perception function SF network element.

[0091] Among them, the sensing capability of the sensing device is the ability of the sensing device to perform sensing measurements. Optionally, the sensing capability information in this embodiment may be the service scope of the sensing device, the supported sensing accuracy, etc.; the sensing network element capability of the sensing function (SensingFunction, SF) network element is the ability to send sensing service requests, calculate and process sensing services, and manage and control sensing services. Optionally, the sensing device in this embodiment may be a terminal, or may be a base station, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0092] Optionally, in this embodiment, the NEF may simultaneously receive the sensing capability information of the sensing device and the sensing network element capability information of the SF, or the NEF may sequentially receive the sensing capability information of the sensing device and the sensing network element capability information of the SF.

[0093] It should be noted that the SF network element in this embodiment can be a newly added network element in the perception network architecture, or it can be a network element formed by adding perception capabilities to existing network elements in the 5G core network. For example, the location management function (LMF) network element in the 5G core network can be added with perception capabilities to form the above-mentioned SF network element.

[0094] Optionally, in this embodiment, the perception device can send its own perception capability information directly to NEF, and SF can also send its own perception network element capability information directly to NEF. Alternatively, the perception device can also send its own perception capability information to other network elements in the perception network structure, and SF can also send its own perception network element capability information to the other network elements, and the other network elements will forward the perception capability information of the perception device and the perception network element capability information of SF to NEF. That is to say, in this embodiment, the perception capability information and the perception network element capability information received by NEF can be sent to NEF by the perception device and SF respectively, or other network elements in the perception network architecture can send the perception capability information of the perception device and the perception network element capability information of the perception network element together to NEF. This embodiment does not limit the receiving method of the perception capability information and the perception network element capability information received by NEF.

[0095] S202, sending the sensing capability information and the sensing network element capability information to the application function AF network element.

[0096] Among them, application function (AF) refers to various services of the application layer, which can be an application within the operator or a third-party AF (such as a video server, a game server, etc.).

[0097] In this embodiment, NEF can send the received perception capability information of the perception device and the perception network element capability information of the perception function network element to AF through the communication connection between the NEF and the AF, so that the AF can open the received perception capability information of the perception device and the perception network element capability information of the perception function network element to a third-party application to realize the subsequent sending of perception signals, measurement of perception signals, and reporting of perception measurement data.

[0098] In the above-mentioned method for opening perception information, the NEF network element can receive the perception capability information of the perception device and the perception network element capability information of the SF network element. Through this process, the perception device can notify the SF of its own perception capability information, and the SF can also notify the NEF of its own perception network element capability information, thereby realizing the function of notifying other network elements of the device's perception capability. Furthermore, the NEF can send the perception capability information of the perception device and the perception network element capability information of the perception function network element to the AF network element, so that the AF can open the perception capability information of the perception device and the perception network element capability information of the perception network element, thereby realizing the opening of the perception capability information of the perception device and the perception network element capability information of the perception network element to third-party applications.

[0099] The following will explain in detail the two ways of receiving the sensing capability information of the NEF and the sensing network element capability information of the SF.

[0100] The first one: in one embodiment, the sensing capability information and the sensing network element capability information received by the NEF may both be sent by the SF. In one embodiment, the above S201 may include: receiving the sensing capability information and the sensing network element capability information sent by the SF.

[0101] In this embodiment, the perception device can send its own perception capability information to SF. After receiving the perception capability information sent by the perception device, SF sends its own perception network element capability information and the received perception capability information of the perception device together to NEF. That is to say, in this embodiment, the perception capability information and perception network element capability information received by NEF are both sent by SF.

[0102] Optionally, in this embodiment, the perception device can send its own perception capability information to the Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) network element, and the AMF sends it to the SF. Further, as an optional implementation, after receiving the perception capability information of the perception device, the AMF can interact with the SF in terms of capabilities. The AMF sends the perception capability information of the perception device to the SF, and the SF sends its own perception network element capability information to the AMF, so that the SF can subsequently select a perception device with appropriate capabilities, and the AMF can select an appropriate SF to serve the perception service.

[0103] In addition, as an optional implementation, in order to enable other network elements in the perception network architecture to obtain the perception network element capability information of SF, SF can also send a perception capability registration request to the network storage function (Network Repository Function, NRF), and register its own perception network element capability information in NRF, so that other core network network elements (such as AMF) can select SF with suitable capabilities to serve perception services. Furthermore, after NRF completes the registration of the perception network element capability information, it can also send a perception capability registration response message to SF to prompt SF that it has registered the perception network element capability information of SF.

[0104] The following will be Figure 3 For example, the NEF receives the sensing capability information of the sensing device and the sensing network element capability information of the SF sent by the SF, and the detailed process of opening the sensing information is described. It should be noted that: Figure 3 The terminal and the base station in the embodiment are the sensing devices described in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 3 As shown, as an optional implementation, the terminal and the base station send their own perception capability information to the AMF. After receiving the perception capability information of the perception device, the AMF can interact with the SF for capability. The AMF sends the perception capability information of the perception device to the SF. The SF sends its own perception network element capability information to the AMF. In addition, the SF can also send a perception capability registration request to the NEF to register its own perception network element capability information in the NRF. Subsequently, after the NRF completes the registration of the perception network element capability information, it can also send a perception capability registration response information to the SF. Further, the SF sends the perception capability information of the perception device sent by the AMF and its own perception network element capability information to the NEF. The NEF further sends a notification to the AF to open all the perception capability information received by the SF through the AF.

[0105] In this embodiment, the perception capability information of the perception device received by the NEF network element and the perception network element capability information of the SF network element are both sent to the NEF by the SF, which simplifies the complexity of sending the perception capability information and the perception network element capability information. The perception capability information of the perception device and its own perception network element capability information can be sent to the NEF through the SF network element, realizing one network with multiple capabilities. At the same time, SF sends the perception capability information and the perception network element capability information to the NEF, realizing the notification of the device's perception capability to other network elements, and then the perception capability information of the perception device and the perception network element capability information of SF can be opened to third-party applications through the NEF, realizing the opening of the device's perception capability.

[0106] The second type: In one embodiment, the perception capability information received by NEF may be sent by AMF, and the perception network element capability information received may be sent by SF. In one embodiment, the above S201 may include: receiving the perception capability information sent by AMF, and receiving the perception network element capability information sent by SF.

[0107] Optionally, in this embodiment, the perception device can report its own perception capability information to AMF, which is sent by AMF to NEF. In addition, SF can send its own perception network element capability information to NEF, so that NEF receives the perception capability information of the perception device and the perception network element capability information of SF.

[0108] Furthermore, as an optional implementation, in order to enable other network elements in the perception network architecture to obtain the perception capability information of the perception device, the AMF can also send a perception capability registration request to the NRF, and register the received perception capability information of the perception device in the NRF, so that other core network elements (such as AMF) can select perception devices with suitable capabilities to serve the perception business. Furthermore, after the NRF completes the registration of the perception capability information, it can also send a perception capability registration response message to the AMF to prompt the AMF that it has registered the perception capability information of the perception device.

[0109] As another optional implementation, in order to enable other network elements in the perception network architecture to obtain the perception network element capability information of SF, SF can also send a perception capability registration request to NEF, and register its own perception network element capability information in NRF, so that other core network network elements (such as AMF) can select SF with suitable capabilities to serve perception services. Furthermore, after NRF completes the registration of the perception network element capability information, it can also send a perception capability registration response message to SF to prompt SF that it has registered the perception network element capability information of SF.

[0110] The following will be Figure 4As an example, the NEF receives the perception capability information of the perception device sent by the AMF and the perception network element capability information of the SF, and the detailed process of opening the perception information is described. It should be noted that: Figure 4 The terminal and the base station in the embodiment are the sensing devices described in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 4 As shown, as an optional implementation, the terminal and the base station send their own perception capability information to the AMF. After receiving the perception capability information of the perception device, the AMF sends a perception capability registration request to the NRF and registers its own perception network element capability information in the NRF. Subsequently, after the NRF completes the registration of the perception network element capability information, it sends a perception capability registration response message to the AMF. The AMF notifies the NEF of the received perception capability information of the perception device, and further sends it to the AF through the NEF. In addition, the SF can also send a perception capability registration request to the NEF and register its own perception network element capability information in the NRF. Subsequently, after the NRF completes the registration of the perception network element capability information, it can also send a perception capability registration response message to the SF. Further, the SF notifies the NEF of its own perception network element capability information, and then sends it to the AF through the NEF. The perception capability information of the perception device and the perception network element capability information of the perception network element are opened through the AF.

[0111] In this embodiment, the perception capability information of the perception device received by NEF is sent to NEF by AMF, and the perception network element capability information received by NEF is sent to NEF by SF. In this way, the perception capability information of the perception device and the perception network element capability information of the perception network element can be sent to NEF respectively, avoiding mutual interference between the perception capability information and the perception network element capability information, and ensuring the accuracy of the perception capability information and the perception network element capability information received by NEF. In addition, AMF sends the perception capability information of the perception device to NEF, and SF sends its own perception network element capability information to NEF, thereby notifying other network elements of the device's perception capability, and then the perception capability information of the perception device and the perception network element capability information of SF can be opened to third-party applications through NEF, thereby realizing the opening of the device's perception capability.

[0112] In a second aspect, in one embodiment, an open method for perceiving information is provided, wherein the method is applied to Figure 1 The SF network element in the network element device is used as an example to illustrate, including the following steps: sending first perception information to the NEF network element, the first perception information including its own perception network element capability information; NEF is used to send the first perception information to the AF network element.

[0113] It should be noted that the SF network element in this embodiment can be a newly added network element in the perception network architecture, or can also be a network element formed by adding perception capabilities to the existing network elements in the 5G core network. For example, the LMF network element in the 5G core network can be added with perception capabilities to form the above-mentioned SF network element. Among them, the perception network element capability of SF is the ability to perceive the delivery of service requests, the calculation and processing of perception services, and the management and control of perception services.

[0114] Optionally, in this embodiment, SF may generate first perception information based on its own perception network element capability information, and send the generated first perception information to NEF through the communication connection between itself and NEF, so that NEF receives the perception network element capability information of SF.

[0115] Further, after receiving the first perception information sent by SF, NEF can send the received first perception information to AF through the communication connection between AF and AF, so that AF opens the received first perception information, that is, opens the perception network element capability information of SF itself through AF, so as to realize the subsequent sending of perception signals, measurement of perception signals and reporting of perception measurement data, etc. Among them, AF refers to various services of the application layer, which can be applications within the operator or AF of a third party (such as video server, game server, etc.).

[0116] In the above-mentioned method for opening perception information, the SF network element sends the first perception information including its own perception network element capability information to the NEF network element, so that the NEF can send the received first perception information to the AF network element, thereby realizing the function of notifying other network elements of the device's perception capability. In addition, after the NEF receives the first perception information sent by the SF, the NEF can send the received first perception information to the AF network element, thereby enabling the AF to open the first perception information, thereby realizing the opening of the perception network element capability information of the perception network element to third-party applications.

[0117] In the above scenario where the SF sends the first perception information to the NEF network element, the SF can also obtain the perception capability information of the perception device, carry the perception capability information of the perception device in the first perception information and send it to the NEF, that is, in this scenario, the perception capability information of the perception device and the perception network element capability information of the SF that can be received by the NEF can both be sent by the SF. In one embodiment, the above first perception information also includes the perception capability information of the perception device.

[0118] The sensing capability of the sensing device is the capability of the sensing device to perform sensing measurements. Optionally, the sensing capability information in this embodiment may be the service range of the sensing device, the supported sensing accuracy, etc. Optionally, the sensing device in this embodiment may be a terminal, or a base station, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0119] Optionally, in this embodiment, the perception device may report its own perception capability information to AMF, and send the perception capability information of the perception device to SF through AMF. After SF receives the perception capability information of the perception device sent by AMF, it generates first perception information based on the perception capability information of the perception device and its own perception network element capability information, and sends the first perception information to NEF, so that NEF receives the perception capability information of the perception device and the perception network element capability information of SF at the same time.

[0120] Furthermore, as an optional implementation, in order to enable other network elements in the perception network architecture to obtain the perception network element capability information, the SF may also send a first registration message including the perception network element capability information to the NRF, and register its own perception network element capability information in the NRF, so that other core network network elements (such as AMF) can select a SF with suitable capabilities to serve the perception business. Furthermore, after the NRF completes the registration of the perception network element capability information, it may also send a registration response message to the SF to prompt the SF that it has registered the SF's perception network element capability information.

[0121] As another optional implementation, in order to enable other network elements in the perception network architecture to obtain the perception capability information of the perception device and the perception network element capability information of the perception network element, the SF may also send a second registration message including the perception network element capability information and the perception capability information of the perception device to the NRF, and register its own perception network element capability information and the perception capability information of the perception device in the NRF, so that other core network network elements (such as AMF) can select SF and perception devices with suitable capabilities to serve the perception business. Furthermore, after the NRF completes the registration of the perception network element capability information and the perception capability information, it may also send a registration response message to the SF to prompt the SF that it has registered the SF's perception network element capability information and the perception capability information of the perception device.

[0122] In this embodiment, the first perception information sent by SF to NEF also includes the perception capability information of the perception device, which simplifies the complexity of sending the perception capability information and the perception network element capability information. The perception capability information of the perception device and its own perception network element capability information can be sent to NEF through SF, realizing one network with multiple capabilities. At the same time, SF sends the perception capability information and the perception network element capability information to NEF, thereby notifying other network elements of the device's perception capability. Furthermore, after receiving the first perception information, SF can also send the first perception information to AF, and open the first perception information through AF, that is, open the perception capability information of the perception device and the perception network element capability information of the perception network element through AF, thereby realizing the opening of the perception network element capability information of the perception network element and the perception capability information of the perception device to third-party applications.

[0123] In a third aspect, in one embodiment, an open method for perceiving information is provided, wherein the method is applied to Figure 1 Taking the AMF network element in the network element device as an example, it includes the following steps: sending the perception capability information of the perception device to open the perception capability information.

[0124] The sensing capability of the sensing device is the capability of the sensing device to perform sensing measurements. Optionally, the sensing capability information in this embodiment may be the service range of the sensing device, the supported sensing accuracy, etc. Optionally, the sensing device in this embodiment may be a terminal, or a base station, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0125] Optionally, in this embodiment, the perception device can send its own perception capability information to the AMF network element. After receiving the perception capability information sent by the perception device, the AMF can send the perception capability information of the perception device to make the perception capability information open. For example, the AMF can send the perception capability information of the perception device to the AF through the NEF, and open the perception capability information of the perception device through the AF.

[0126] Optionally, in this embodiment, as another optional implementation method, after receiving the perception capability information of the perception device, AMF can also interact with SF in terms of capabilities. AMF sends the perception capability information of the perception device to SF, and SF sends its own perception network element capability information to AMF, so that SF can subsequently select a perception device with appropriate capabilities, and AMF can select a suitable SF to serve the perception service.

[0127] In the above-mentioned method for opening perception information, the AMF network element sends the perception capability information of the perception device, thereby realizing the function of notifying other network elements of the device's perception capability. In addition, by sending the perception capability information of the perception device through AMF, the perception capability information of the perception device can be opened, thereby realizing the function of opening the perception network element capability information of the perception network element to third-party applications.

[0128] In the scenario of opening the sensing capability information of the sensing device, the AMF can send the sensing capability information of the sensing device to the SF, and the SF sends it to the NEF, and the sensing capability information of the sensing device is opened through the NEF. Alternatively, the AMF can directly send the sensing capability information of the sensing device to the NEF, and the sensing capability information of the sensing device is opened through the NEF. The following will explain these two sending methods in detail.

[0129] The first type: the above-mentioned sending of the perception capability information of the perception device includes: sending the perception capability information to the SF network element.

[0130] In this embodiment, AMF can send the received perception capability information of the perception device to SF. After SF receives the perception capability information of the perception device sent by AMF, it sends its own perception network element capability information and the perception capability information of the perception device together to NEF, and then opens the perception capability information of the perception device and the perception network element capability information of the perception network element through NEF.

[0131] In this embodiment, AMF sends the received perception capability information of the perception device to SF, which enables SF to send its own perception network element capability information and the perception device's perception capability information to NEF, simplifying the complexity of sending the perception capability information and the perception network element capability information. The perception capability information of the perception device and its own perception network element capability information can be sent to NEF through SF, realizing one network with multiple capabilities. At the same time, SF sends the perception capability information and the perception network element capability information to NEF, and also realizes the notification of the device's perception capability to other network elements, and then the perception capability information of the perception device and the perception network element capability information of SF can be opened to third-party applications through NEF, realizing the opening of the device's perception capability.

[0132] Second, the above-mentioned sending of the sensing capability information of the sensing device includes: sending the sensing capability information to the NEF network element.

[0133] In this embodiment, AMF can send the received perception capability information of the perception device to NEF through the communication connection between AMF and NEF. After NEF receives the perception capability information of the perception device sent by AMF, it can send the perception capability information of the perception device to AF to open the perception capability information of the perception device.

[0134] Furthermore, as an optional implementation, in order to enable other network elements in the perception network architecture to obtain the perception capability information of the perception device, the AMF may also send registration information including the perception capability information of the perception device to the NRF, and register the received perception capability information of the perception device in the NRF, so that other core network elements (such as AMF) can select perception devices with suitable capabilities to serve the perception business. Furthermore, after the NRF completes the registration of the perception capability information, it may also send perception capability registration response information to the AMF to prompt the AMF that it has registered the perception capability information of the perception device.

[0135] In this embodiment, after AMF receives the perception capability information sent by the perception device, it can send the perception capability information to NEF. In this way, the perception capability information of the perception device can be sent to NEF through AMF, avoiding mutual interference between the perception capability information and the perception network element capability information, and ensuring the accuracy of the perception capability information received by NEF. In addition, AMF sends the perception capability information of the perception device to NEF, realizes the notification of the device's perception capability to other network elements, and then can open the perception capability information of the perception device to third-party applications through NEF, realizing the opening of the device's perception capability.

[0136] In a fourth aspect, in one embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, an open method for perceiving information is provided, which can be applied to Figure 1 Taking the AF network element in the network element device as an example, the method includes the following steps: receiving the perception capability information of the perception device sent by the NEF and the perception network element capability information of the SF network element.

[0137] Among them, the sensing capability of the sensing device is the ability of the sensing device to perform sensing measurements. Optionally, the sensing capability information in this embodiment may be the service scope of the sensing device, the supported sensing accuracy, etc.; the sensing network element capability of the sensing function (SensingFunction, SF) network element is the ability to send sensing service requests, calculate and process sensing services, and manage and control sensing services. Optionally, the sensing device in this embodiment may be a terminal, or may be a base station, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0138] In this embodiment, the AF can receive the sensing capability information of the sensing device and the sensing network element capability information of the SF sent by the NEF through the communication connection between the AF and the NEF.

[0139] Optionally, in this embodiment, the perception capability information of the perception device received by the NEF and the perception network element capability information of the SF may both be sent to the NEF by the SF at the same time, or, the perception capability information of the perception device received by the NEF may be sent to the NEF by the AMF, and the perception network element capability information of the SF received by the NEF may be sent to the NEF by the SF.

[0140] Among them, AF refers to various services of the application layer, which can be applications within the operator or third-party AF (such as video servers, game servers, etc.). In this embodiment, after AF receives the perception capability information of the perception device sent by NEF and the perception network element capability information of the SF network element, it can open the received perception capability information of the perception device and the perception network element capability information of the SF to the third-party application to realize the subsequent transmission of perception signals, measurement of perception signals, and reporting of perception measurement data.

[0141] In the above-mentioned method for opening perception information, the AF network element can receive the perception capability information of the perception device sent by NEF and the perception network element capability information of SF. Through this process, the function of notifying other network elements of the device's perception capability is realized. Furthermore, the AF can open the received perception capability information and perception network element capability information to third-party applications, thereby realizing the opening of the perception capability information of the perception device and the perception network element capability information of the perception network element to third-party applications.

[0142] It should be understood that although Figure 2-5 The steps in the flowchart are shown in sequence as indicated by the arrows, but these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless otherwise specified in this document, there is no strict order restriction for the execution of these steps, and these steps can be executed in other orders. Moreover, Figure 2-5 At least part of the steps may include multiple steps or multiple stages. These steps or stages are not necessarily performed at the same time, but can be performed at different times. The execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but can be performed in turn or alternately with other steps or at least part of the steps or stages in other steps.
