[0030] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the relevant technologies of the embodiments of the present application are described below. The following relevant technologies can be arbitrarily combined with the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application as optional solutions, and they all fall within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.

[0031] Next-generation networks (such as 6G networks) are expected to be a fusion of mobile communication networks, perception networks, and computing power networks. In a narrow sense, a perception network refers to a system capable of target positioning (ranging, speed, and angle measurement), target imaging, target detection, target tracking, and target recognition. In a broad sense, a perception network refers to a system that understands the attributes and states of all services, networks, users, and terminals, as well as environmental objects. From the perspective of perception applications, perception can be categorized as follows:

[0032] Outdoor / wide-area / local-area applications: including smart cities (such as weather monitoring), smart transportation / high-speed rail (such as high-precision map construction, road supervision, intrusion detection), and low-altitude applications (such as drone monitoring and obstacle avoidance, flight intrusion detection, and flight path management).

[0033] Indoor / local applications: including smart home and health management (such as respiratory monitoring, intrusion detection, gesture / posture recognition, motion monitoring, mobile trajectory tracking, etc.), smart factories (such as intrusion detection, material detection, object defect detection, etc.), etc.

[0034] It should be noted that the above is only exemplary and provides some classifications of perception applications. The application scope of perception is not limited to the above examples.

[0035] Wireless communication and sensing are two key applications of modern radio frequency technology. Sensing uses radio waves to detect parameters of the physical environment to enable environmental perception, such as target location, motion recognition, and imaging. Traditionally, sensing and wireless communication exist independently, and this separate design wastes wireless spectrum and hardware resources. Entering the post-5G (Beyond 5G, B5G) and 6G eras, the communication spectrum is shifting towards millimeter-wave, terahertz, and visible light communications. The spectrum for wireless communication will overlap with the spectrum for traditional sensing. Integrated communication and sensing technology merges wireless communication and sensing functions, leveraging wireless resources for sensing. It can leverage widely deployed cellular networks to achieve sensing services over a wider range. It can achieve higher sensing accuracy through joint sensing using base stations and multiple terminals. It can also reuse wireless hardware modules for sensing, reducing costs. In short, integrated communication and sensing technology empowers future wireless communication systems with sensing capabilities, providing a foundation for the development of smart transportation, smart cities, smart factories, drones, and other services.

[0036] Perception can be divided into eight sensing modes, as shown in Figure 1. Mode 1 is a base station autonomous sensing mode, in which the base station acts as both a sensing signal transmitter (denoted as STx) and a sensing signal receiver (denoted as SRx). Specifically, the base station transmits a sensing signal to the sensed object and receives the sensing signal reflected by the sensed object (referred to as the reflected signal). Mode 2 is a terminal autonomous sensing mode, in which the terminal acts as both a sensing signal transmitter (denoted as STx) and a sensing signal receiver (denoted as SRx). Specifically, the terminal transmits a sensing signal to the sensed object and receives the sensing signal reflected by the sensed object (referred to as the reflected signal). Mode 3 is a base station collaborative sensing mode, in which one base station acts as a sensing signal transmitter (denoted as STx) and the other base station acts as a sensing signal receiver (denoted as SRx). Specifically, one base station transmits a sensing signal to the sensed object, and the other base station receives the sensing signal reflected by the sensed object (referred to as the reflected signal). Mode 4 is a terminal-cooperative perception mode, in which one terminal acts as a sending node of the perception signal (denoted as STx), and the other terminal acts as a receiving node of the perception signal (denoted as SRx). Specifically, one terminal sends a perception signal to the perceived object, and the other terminal receives the perception signal reflected by the perceived object (referred to as the reflected signal for short). Mode 5 is a base station-terminal collaborative perception mode, in which the base station acts as a sending node of the perception signal (denoted as STx), and the terminal acts as a receiving node of the perception signal (denoted as SRx). Specifically, the base station sends a perception signal to the perceived object, and the terminal receives the perception signal reflected by the perceived object (referred to as the reflected signal for short). Mode 6 is a terminal-base station collaborative perception mode, in which the terminal acts as a sending node of the perception signal (denoted as STx), and the base station acts as a receiving node of the perception signal (denoted as SRx). Specifically, the terminal sends a perception signal to the perceived object, and the base station receives the perception signal reflected by the perceived object (referred to as the reflected signal for short). Mode 7 is a sensing mode in which the perceived object is the sensing signal sending node. Specifically, the perceived object, acting as the sensing signal sending node (denoted as STx), sends the sensing signal, and the sensing signal receiving node (denoted as SRx) receives the sensing signal. Mode 8 is a sensing mode in which the perceived object is the sensing signal receiving node. Specifically, the sensing signal sending node (denoted as STx) sends the sensing signal to the perceived object, and the perceived object, acting as the sensing signal receiving node (denoted as SRx), receives the sensing signal and provides feedback to the sensing signal sending node.

[0037] It should be noted that the term "sensing signal sending node" and "sensing signal receiving node" distinguishes nodes functionally. A physical node can serve solely as a sensing signal sending node, solely as a sensing signal receiving node, or both. For ease of description, these two terms are collectively referred to as sensing nodes. A sensing node is a node that sends and / or receives sensing signals, such as a base station, mobile phone, or IoT device.

[0038] In the eight sensing modes described above, there is only a single or a pair of sensing nodes. When multiple sensing nodes are present around a perceived object, the joint participation of multiple sensing nodes in sensing can improve the accuracy of perception, meet more complex sensing service requirements, and provide richer sensing services. When there are multiple sensing nodes in the system, there may be a sensing control node to control and manage the entire sensing service, thereby improving sensing efficiency. The sensing control node can be a base station, a terminal, or a core network element. An example of multiple sensing nodes participating in sensing is shown in Figure 2. In the example shown in Figure 2, the sensing control node is a terminal or a base station. Sensing nodes 1, 2, and 3 are present around the perceived object. Communication signals can be transmitted between the sensing control node and the multiple sensing nodes, while sensing signals can be transmitted between the sensing nodes and the perceived object. It can be understood that the function of the communication signal is for communication, and the function of the sensing signal is for perception.

[0039] As an important node in the perception communication system, the perception control node is used to control and manage the entire perception service. How to improve the control and management efficiency of the perception control node requires optimization. To this end, the following technical solutions are proposed in the embodiments of this application.

[0040] It should be noted that the term "and / or" in this article is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three types of relationships. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the objects associated before and after are in an "or" relationship. It should also be understood that the "indication" mentioned in the embodiments of this application can be a direct indication, an indirect indication, or an indication of an association relationship. For example, A indicates B, which can mean that A directly indicates B, for example, B can be obtained through A; it can also mean that A indirectly indicates B, for example, A indicates C, and B can be obtained through C; it can also mean that there is an association relationship between A and B. It should also be understood that the "correspondence" mentioned in the embodiments of this application can mean that there is a direct or indirect correspondence between the two, or it can mean that there is an association relationship between the two, or it can mean a relationship between indication and being indicated, configuration and being configured, etc.

[0041] It should be noted that the term "perception" in this article can be replaced by other names. Any name that can express perception-related meanings can be replaced, such as positioning, ranging, speed measurement, angle measurement, target imaging, target detection, target tracking and target recognition.

[0042] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions of the present application are described in detail below through specific embodiments. The above related technologies can be combined arbitrarily with the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application as optional solutions, and all of them fall within the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present application. The embodiments of the present application include at least part of the following contents.

[0043] During the perception process, the perception signal sending node sends a perception signal, and the perception signal receiving node receives the perception signal. On the one hand, the perception signal sending node and the perception signal receiving node can be the same node (such as Mode 1 and Mode 2 in Figure 1); the perception signal sending node and the perception signal receiving node can also be different nodes (such as Mode 3, Mode 4, Mode 5, Mode 6, Mode 7, and Mode 8 in Figure 1). On the other hand, the perceived object may not participate in the reception and / or transmission of the perception signal, but only refract or reflect the perception signal (such as Mode 1, Mode 2, Mode 3, Mode 4, Mode 5, and Mode 6 in Figure 1); the perceived object may also participate in the reception and / or transmission of the perception signal, that is, the perceived object can act as a perception signal sending node or a perception signal receiving node (such as Mode 7 and Mode 8 in Figure 1). After receiving the perception signal, the perception signal receiving node obtains the corresponding signal feature based on the received perception signal. The signal feature obtained by multiple perception signal receiving nodes is used to realize perception of the perceived object (such as positioning, ranging, speed measurement, angle measurement, target imaging, target detection, target tracking, and target recognition, etc.).

[0044] In order to control and manage the perception process of the perception service, it is necessary to configure perception through the perception control node, for example, configure at least one of the perception node, perception signal related information, measurement node and measurement signal related information.

[0045] Here, a sensing node refers to a node that sends and / or receives a sensing signal. A measuring node refers to a node that sends and / or receives a measurement signal. The purpose of the sensing process corresponding to the sensing signal is to sense the perceived object. The specific implementation of the sensing process is described in the above paragraph. The purpose of the measurement process corresponding to the measurement signal is to allow the sensing control node to select the sensing node to be actually used from multiple sensing nodes. The specific implementation of the measurement process is roughly as follows: the measurement signal sending node sends the measurement signal, the measurement signal receiving node receives the measurement signal and sends the measurement result to the sensing control node, so that the sensing control node can select a suitable node as the sensing node for subsequent sensing process based on the measurement result. As an implementation method, the measuring node can only perform the measurement process without performing the sensing process. As another implementation method, the measuring node can perform both the policy process and the sensing process.

[0046] In some implementations, the perceptual signal-related information includes at least one of the following: a type of the perceptual signal, a signal characteristic of the perceptual signal (such as sequence length), and a transmission resource of the perceptual signal.

[0047] In some embodiments, the measurement signal related information includes at least one of the following: a type of the measurement signal, a signal characteristic of the measurement signal (such as sequence length), and a transmission resource of the measurement signal.

[0048] As an implementation manner, the measurement signal and the perception signal may be the same signal. As another implementation manner, the measurement signal and the perception signal may be different signals.

[0049] How to effectively configure the perception control node requires some auxiliary information, which is explained below with reference to FIG3 .

[0050] FIG3 is a flow chart of a perception communication method provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG3 , the perception communication method includes the following steps:

[0051] Step 301: The second node sends first information to the first node, and the first node receives the first information sent by the second node, where the first information includes at least one of the following: information about the second node, information about the perceived object, constraint information of the perception node, constraint information of the perception signal, constraint information of the perception signal transmission resource, and information about the perception service.

[0052] In the embodiment of the present application, the first node is a perception control node. It should be noted that the description of the perception control node can also be replaced by other names, such as perception center node, perception management node, perception coordination node, etc. In some embodiments, the first node can be a base station, a terminal, or a core network element.

[0053] In an embodiment of the present application, the second node is a perception service initiating node; or, the second node is a node that sends a perception service request.

[0054] As an implementation, the second node is a sensing service initiating node. In one case, the second node and the first node are the same node. In this case, the first node receiving the first information sent by itself can be understood as the first node obtaining the first information from itself. In another case, the second node and the first node are different nodes. In this case, the first node receives the first information sent by the first node through a connection with the second node.

[0055] As another implementation, the second node is a node that sends a perception service request. The second node may send the perception service request as a perception service initiating node, or may send the perception service request due to being triggered by a perception service initiating node. The second node and the first node are different nodes. In one case, the second node sends a perception service request to the first node, and the perception service request carries the first information. In another case, the second node sends a perception service request to a third node, and the third node forwards the perception service request to the first node, and the perception service request carries the first information; or, the second node sends a perception service request to a third node, and the third node instructs the second node to send the first information to the first node. In some embodiments, the third node may be a base station or a core network element.

[0056] In this embodiment of the present application, after the first node obtains the first information, it can configure at least one of a sensing node, sensing signal related information, a measurement node, and measurement signal related information based on the first information. Here, the meanings of the sensing node, sensing signal related information, measurement node, and measurement signal related information can refer to the above description.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first node sends third information, where the third information is used to configure at least one of a sensing node, sensing signal-related information, a measurement node, and measurement signal-related information. As an implementation, the first node sends the third information after generating the third information. Here, the first node may send the third information to the sensing node and / or measurement node configured by it. As another implementation, the first node sends the third information based on the control of a third node after generating the third information. Here, the third node may control when the first node sends the third information and / or to which node the third information is sent. In some embodiments, the third node may be a base station or a core network element.

[0058] In this embodiment of the present application, the first information includes at least one of the following: information about the second node, information about the sensed object, constraint information about the sensing node, constraint information about the sensing signal, constraint information about the sensing signal transmission resource, and information about the sensing service. This information is described below.

[0059] Second node information

[0060] In some embodiments, the information of the second node includes at least one of the following: the type of the second node, the power information of the second node, the location information of the second node, the wireless resource occupancy information of the second node, the perception capability information of the second node, and the measurement capability information of the second node.

[0061] In some embodiments, the information about the second node is used by the first node to determine whether to configure the second node as a measurement node and / or a sensing node. Furthermore, the information about the second node is used by the first node to configure measurement signal-related information and / or sensing signal-related information for the second node. In some embodiments, the sensing signal-related information includes at least one of the following: a type of sensing signal, a signal characteristic of the sensing signal (e.g., sequence length), and a transmission resource for the sensing signal. The measurement signal-related information includes at least one of the following: a type of sensing signal, a signal characteristic of the sensing signal (e.g., sequence length), and a transmission resource for the sensing signal.

[0062] As an example: the first node determines whether to configure the second node as a measurement node and / or a perception node based on the type of the second node. The first node determines whether the second node has sufficient power to perform a measurement process and / or a perception process based on the power information of the second node, thereby determining whether to configure the second node as a measurement node and / or a perception node. The first node determines whether the second node is located within a specific area based on the location information of the second node, thereby determining whether to configure the second node as a measurement node and / or a perception node. The first node configures perception signal related information and / or measurement signal related information for the second node based on the wireless resource occupancy information of the second node. The first node determines whether to configure the second node as a perception node and / or configure perception signal related information for the second node based on the perception capability information of the second node. The first node determines whether to configure the second node as a measurement node and / or configure measurement signal related information for the second node based on the measurement capability information of the second node.

[0063] As an example, the type of the second node may be one of: a mobile phone, a watch, a car, an IoT device, and the like.

[0064] As an example, the power information of the second node may be: remaining power information, continuous power supply status, power saving mode, low power consumption status, etc.

[0065] As an example: the location information of the second node can be obtained through the positioning module of the second node. The location information of the second node can also be obtained through positioning methods such as WiFi positioning, base station positioning, triangulation positioning, ranging and / or angle measurement (Ranging) positioning. The location information of the second node can also be manually calibrated. The location information accuracy of the location information of the second node is related to the positioning method of the location information of the second node, and different positioning methods may correspond to different location information accuracies. The location information accuracy can be calibrated by distance, such as 10-meter positioning accuracy, 2-meter positioning accuracy, etc. The location information accuracy can also be calibrated by the level of positioning accuracy, such as high positioning accuracy, medium positioning accuracy, low positioning accuracy, etc.

[0066] As an example, the radio resource occupancy information of the second node may include at least one of the following information: the type of service received and / or sent by the second node, the data volume of the service received and / or sent by the second node, and the radio resources occupied by the service received and / or sent by the second node. Here, the radio resources occupied by the service received and / or sent by the second node may be, for example, semi-statically configured, dynamically scheduled, or pre-configured, and the second node may specify the radio resources occupied by the service received and / or sent by the second node through configuration information.

[0067] In some embodiments, the sensing capability information of the second node includes at least one of the following:

[0068] First indication information, where the first indication information is used to indicate whether the second node can serve as a sender of a perception signal and / or a receiver of a perception signal;

[0069] second indication information, where the second indication information is used to indicate a perceptual signal feature quantity supported by the second node;

[0070] Third indication information, where the third indication information is used to indicate the perception signal transmission resources supported by the second node.

[0071] As an example, the perception signal feature includes at least one of the following: a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of the perception signal, a reference signal received power (RSRP) of the perception signal, a channel quality indicator (CQI) of the perception signal, an angle of arrival of the perception signal, beam information of the perception signal, a direct path of the perception signal, a multipath delay of the perception signal, a Doppler shift of the perception signal, a phase of the perception signal, complete channel information of the perception signal, and quantized channel information of the perception signal. The perception signal feature supported by the second node can be understood as a feature of the perception signal that the second node can measure. The second node can determine the perception signal feature supported by the second node based on its own capabilities.

[0072] As an example, the perception signal transmission resources include at least one of the following: time domain resources of the perception signal and frequency domain resources of the perception signal. The perception signal transmission resources supported by the second node can be understood as perception signal transmission resources available to the second node. The second node can determine its own available perception signal transmission resources based on its own radio resource occupancy information and / or perception signal transmission resources configured by the network.

[0073] In some implementations, the measurement capability information of the second node includes at least one of the following:

[0074] Fourth indication information, where the fourth indication information is used to indicate whether the second node can serve as a sender of a measurement signal and / or a receiver of a measurement signal;

[0075] fifth indication information, where the fifth indication information is used to indicate a measurement signal characteristic quantity supported by the second node;

[0076] Sixth indication information, where the sixth indication information is used to indicate a measurement accuracy supported by the second node;

[0077] The seventh indication information is used to indicate the measurement signal transmission resources supported by the second node.

[0078] As an example: the measurement signal characteristic quantity includes at least one of the following: RSSI of the measurement signal, RSRP of the measurement signal, CQI of the measurement signal, arrival angle of the measurement signal, beam information of the measurement signal, direct path of the measurement signal, multipath delay of the measurement signal, Doppler shift of the measurement signal, phase of the measurement signal, complete channel information of the measurement signal, and quantized channel information of the measurement signal. The measurement signal characteristic quantity supported by the second node can be understood as the characteristic quantity of the measurement signal that the second node can measure. The second node can determine the measurement signal characteristic quantity supported by the second node based on its own capabilities.

[0079] As an example, the measurement signal transmission resources include at least one of the following: time domain resources for the measurement signal and frequency domain resources for the measurement signal. The measurement signal transmission resources supported by the second node can be understood as measurement signal transmission resources available to the second node. The second node can determine its available measurement signal transmission resources based on its own radio resource occupancy information and / or measurement signal transmission resources configured by the network.

[0080] In some embodiments, the first node receives a measurement result corresponding to the measurement signal, and the measurement result is used by the first node to configure at least one of a sensing node, a sensing signal, and a sensing signal transmission resource.

[0081] Information about the perceived object

[0082] In some embodiments, the information of the perceived object includes at least one of the following: a relative positional relationship between the perceived object and the second node, an appearance feature of the perceived object, and a motion feature of the perceived object.

[0083] In some embodiments, the information of the sensed object is used by the first node to configure a sensing node.

[0084] For example, based on the relative positional relationship between the perceived object and the second node, the first node configures nodes whose distance from the perceived object is less than or equal to a distance threshold as perception nodes. Based on the appearance features of the perceived object, the first node configures nodes that can perceive its appearance features as perception nodes. Based on the motion features of the perceived object, the first node configures nodes that can perceive its motion features as perception nodes.

[0085] In some embodiments, the relative position relationship between the sensed object and the second node includes at least one of the following:

[0086] at least one of a position, distance, angle, and height of the perceived object relative to the second node;

[0087] The wearing status of the second node by the sensed object.

[0088] For example, the second node is a vehicle, and the sensed object is a passenger. The passenger can be located in different positions within the vehicle (e.g., the driver's seat, the front passenger seat, or the back seat). The relative positional relationship between the sensed object and the second node is at least one of the position, distance, angle, and height of the passenger relative to the vehicle.

[0089] For example, the second node is a television, the perceived object is a person, and the relative position relationship between the perceived object and the second node is at least one of the position, distance, angle, and height of the person relative to the television.

[0090] For example, the second node is a watch, and the sensed object is a person wearing the watch. The relative position relationship between the sensed object and the second node is the wearing state of the person relative to the watch, such as whether the watch is worn, and whether it is worn on the left hand or the right hand.

[0091] The second node can detect the relative position relationship between the sensed object and the second node through its own sensor. The second node can also measure the relative position relationship between the sensed object and the second node through positioning methods such as triangulation positioning or Ranging positioning.

[0092] In some embodiments, the appearance features of the perceived object are used to determine at least one of the following: the category of the perceived object, and the size of the perceived object.

[0093] As an example, the category of the perceived object may be: adults, children, animals, cars, etc.

[0094] As an example, the size of the perceived object may be: height, width, length, etc.

[0095] The second node may detect the appearance features of the perceived object through its own sensor.

[0096] In some embodiments, the motion feature of the perceived object includes at least one of the following: a motion mode of the perceived object, a motion speed of the perceived object, a motion direction of the perceived object, and a motion range of the perceived object.

[0097] As an example, the movement mode of the perceived object may be: horizontal movement, vertical movement, unidirectional movement, return movement, walking movement, crawling movement, movement accompanied by a carrying device, etc.

[0098] As an example, the movement speed of the perceived object may be: moving linear speed, moving angle, etc.

[0099] As an example, the movement direction of the perceived object may be a movement direction relative to the earth, a movement direction relative to a reference object, and the like.

[0100] As an example, the motion range of the perceived object may be a range determined by length and width, a range determined by the center and radius of a circle, or a range determined by other boundary information.
