Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a data reporting method, a data receiving method and related equipment. Background Art

[0002] Communication and perception integration is a key technology in the next generation of wireless communication systems, which aims to integrate the two functions of wireless communication and perception in the same system. In order to achieve this integration, it is necessary to use various propagation characteristics of wireless signals to perceive the target in order to obtain information about the surrounding physical environment, improve communication performance, and enhance user experience. This perception can be positioning, detection, imaging, and identification. Specifically, in the communication and perception integration technology, the network device sends a perception signal, which is reflected by the target in the environment and received by the network device or other network devices. The network device analyzes the perception signal to achieve perception of the target. For example, by analyzing the relative delay of the perception signal, the distance between the target and the network device can be determined; by analyzing the Doppler frequency shift of the perception signal relative to the transmission, the speed of the target can be determined.

[0003] After receiving the sensing signal, the network device needs to process the sensing signal, and then report the data based on the processing result. In the prior art, the amount of data reported by the network device is too large, resulting in a large amount of bandwidth resources occupied, which may eventually affect the data reporting speed.

[0004] Therefore, in the process of communication perception, how to reduce the amount of data reported by network devices is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present application provides a data reporting method, a data receiving method and related devices, which are used to reduce the amount of data reported by network devices during communication perception.

[0006] The first aspect of the present application provides a data reporting method, which is applied to a first device, and the method is executed by the first device, or the method is executed by some components in the first device (such as a processor, a chip or a chip system, etc.), or the method can also be implemented by a logic module or software that can realize all or part of the functions of the first device. In the first aspect and its possible implementation, the method is described as being executed by the first device. In this method, the first device determines the type of perception data to be reported, and the perception data is obtained by performing a perception task; when the type of the perception data is the first type, the first device determines the parameters included in the first information, and the first information is auxiliary information used when processing the perception data; the first device determines the first information based on the parameters included in the first information; the first device reports the first information and the perception data. Alternatively, in this method, the first device determines the type of perception data to be reported and the parameters included in the first information, the perception data is obtained by performing a perception task, and the first information is auxiliary information used when processing the perception data; when the type of the perception data is the first type, the first information includes parameters corresponding to the first type; the first device determines the first information based on the parameters included in the first information; the first device reports the first information and the perception data.

[0007] In an embodiment of the present application, the first device determines the type of the perception data, and when the type of the perception data is the first type, determines the parameters included in the first information adapted to the first type, and the first information is auxiliary information used in the processing of the perception data. That is to say, in an embodiment of the present application, it is not necessary to report the auxiliary information required for each type of perception data, but only the auxiliary information required for the first type of perception data is reported. Therefore, in an embodiment of the present application, the amount of information reported by the first device for assisting the processing of the perception data can be reduced, thereby reducing the amount of data reported by the first device, that is, the network device.

[0008] In a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the first device determines the type of the perception data according to a received first request message, where the first request message indicates to perform the perception task.

[0009] Based on the above technical solution, the first device determines the type of perception data according to the first request message, so that the type of perception data reported by the first device meets the requirements of the device sending the first request message.

[0010] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the type of the perception data is carried in the first request message; or the first request message carries the requirements of the perception task, then the first device can determine the type of the perception data in the following manner: the first device determines the type of the perception data according to the requirements of the perception task and / or the perception capability information, and the perception capability information includes: at least one of perception resolution, perception accuracy, perception range, perception refresh rate, false detection rate, and missed detection rate.

[0011] Based on the above technical solution, two methods for determining the type of perception data are provided. One is that the device sending the first request message directly informs the first device through the first request message the type of perception data it needs. Through this interaction method, the first device can directly determine the type of perception data that needs to be reported. The other is that the device sending the first request message informs the first device of the requirements of the perception task through the first request message, and the first device determines the type of perception data based on this requirement, so that the type of perception data reported by the first device is finally compatible with the requirements of the perception task.

[0012] Optionally, the perception function network element in the core network element receives a perception task request message sent by an upper-layer network element, where the request message carries the requirements of the perception task.

[0013] Optionally, the requirement of the perception task is a quality of service (QoS) requirement, and the QoS requirement includes at least one of: perception resolution, perception accuracy, perception range, perception refresh rate, false detection rate, missed detection rate, and perception delay.

[0014] Optionally, the core network element determines which devices can participate in the perception task based on the perception capability information and the perception task requirements.

[0015] In a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the type of the perception data is carried in the first request message, and before determining the type of the perception data, the first device reports the perception capability information to the core network element.

[0016] Based on the above technical solution, the first device reports its own perception capability information, so that the device that receives the first request message can determine whether the first device can participate in a certain perception task according to the perception capability of the first device, and determine the type of perception data that the first device needs to report.

[0017] In addition to determining the parameters included in the first information only after the first device determines that the type of the perception data is the first type, the first device may also determine the parameters included in the first information when it does not determine the type of the perception data.

[0018] Optionally, the first device receives an indication message, where the indication message is used to indicate parameters that need to be included in the first information.

[0019] Optionally, the indication message is a first request message, that is, the first request message is also used to indicate parameters that the first information needs to include.

[0020] In addition to when the type of the perception data is the first type, the first device determines the parameters included in the first information only after the first device determines that the type of the perception data is the first type, the first device can also determine the parameters included in the first information when it is uncertain about the type and of the perception data. The first device may first determine the parameters included in the first information, and then determine the type of the perception data; it may also first determine the type of the perception data, and then determine the parameters included in the first information; or, determine both at the same time. This application does not limit this. For example, the first device may determine the type of the perception data, and then determine the parameters included in the first information according to the type of the perception data. For another example, the first device may determine the parameters included in the first information by other means.

[0021] Optionally, the first device receives an indication message, where the indication message is used to indicate parameters that need to be included in the first information.

[0022] Optionally, the indication message is a first request message, that is, the first request message is also used to indicate parameters that the first information needs to include.

[0023] Based on the above scheme, the first device can directly obtain the parameters that need to be included in the first information according to the first request message or indication message, without the need for the first device to determine that the type of the perception data is the first type before determining the parameters included in the first information.

[0024] Optionally, when the first type is a baseband signal, the first information is composed of at least one parameter of configuration information of the perception resource, time slot information, frame information, timestamp information, and beam direction.

[0025] Optionally, when the first type is a baseband signal, the first information does not include: indication information of the target object.

[0026] In a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, when the first type is data for describing signal characteristics, the first device determines that the first information includes: at least one parameter of the time slot information, the frame information, the timestamp information, and the beam direction.

[0027] Based on the above technical solution, when the first type is data used to describe the characteristics of the perception signal, reporting time slot information, frame information or beam direction can assist in the processing of the perception data, and reporting timestamp information can assist in the fusion of the perception data with other perception data. After receiving the perception signal, the first device first demodulates the perception signal to obtain a baseband signal, and then performs signal processing on the baseband signal to obtain data used to describe the signal characteristics. The first device can perform signal processing on the baseband signal in the following manner:

[0028] Optionally, when the first type is data for describing signal characteristics, the first information is composed of at least one parameter of time slot information, frame information, timestamp information, and beam direction.

[0029] Optionally, when the first type is data used to describe signal characteristics, the first information does not include: configuration information of the perception resource and indication information of the target object.

[0030] Optionally, the first device performs channel estimation on the baseband signal to obtain channel state information (CSI), and reports the CSI information as perception data to a core network element.

[0031] Optionally, the first device performs Fourier transform on the above CSI information to obtain the delay spectrum, distance spectrum, speed spectrum or angle spectrum of the perception signal, and reports these data as perception data to the core network network element. These data are used by the core network to determine the two-dimensional representation of the perception signal, facilitating the core network network element to perform further target detection.

[0032] Optionally, the first device calculates reference signal reception power, reference signal reception quality, signal-to-noise ratio, etc. of the baseband signal, and reports these data as perception data to the core network element.

[0033] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, when the first type is data used to describe characteristics of a target object, the first device determines that the first information includes: indication information of the target object and at least one parameter in the timestamp information, wherein the target object is an object perceived by the perception task.

[0034] Based on the above technical solution, when the first type is data for describing the characteristics of a target object, reporting indication information of the target object can help determine whether the object perceived by the first device is the same object as the object perceived by other devices, and thus, if they are the same object, the perception data is fused with the perception data that the perceived object is the same object, and reporting timestamp information can assist in the fusion of the perception data with other perception data.

[0035] Optionally, when the first type is data used to describe characteristics of a target object, the first information is composed of at least one parameter of indication information and timestamp information of the target object.

[0036] Optionally, when the first type is data used to describe characteristics of a target object, the first information does not include: configuration information of the perception resource, time slot information, frame information, and beam direction.

[0037] Optionally, the indication information of the target object is an identification (id) of the target object.

[0038] Optionally, when the first device is a user equipment, the first information reported by the user equipment to the core network element further includes: location information of the user equipment or an absolute coordinate system of a perception area of ​​the user equipment.

[0039] In a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, before reporting the first information and the perception data, the first device receives a first constraint sent by a core network element, wherein the first constraint is used to constrain the number of target objects included in the perception data.

[0040] Based on the above technical solution, by sending the first constraint to the first device, the number of target objects included in the perception data finally reported by the first device can be controlled, thereby controlling the data volume of the perception data reported by the first device.

[0041] Optionally, when the first device obtains the perception data through a target detection algorithm, the first constraint is a threshold of the target detection algorithm, or a threshold detection algorithm. After receiving the threshold, the first device can determine which objects are valid objects, i.e., target objects, according to the threshold, and report these target objects.

[0042] Optionally, the threshold may be a confidence threshold or an intersection over union (IoU) threshold of a target detection algorithm.

[0043] Optionally, when the first device obtains the perception data by estimating a parameter of the perceived object, the first constraint is a mean square error of the estimate of the parameter, and the parameter includes: distance, speed, angle or position.

[0044] Optionally, the first request message can also be used to instruct the first device to establish a perception resource configuration related to the perception task. The core network network element can also instruct the first device to establish a perception resource configuration related to the perception task by sending other request messages. Accordingly, the first device configures the perception resources, and after the configuration of the perception resources is established, it sends an indication message to the core network network element to indicate that the perception resources have been configured.

[0045] Optionally, when the type of perception data reported by the first device is a baseband signal, the first device needs to report the configuration information of the perception resources, and the configuration information of the perception resources is carried in the above-mentioned indication message. If the indication message does not carry the configuration information of the perception resources, the core network network element sends a request message to the first device to request the first device to send the configuration information of the perception resources.

[0046] Optionally, the configuration information of the perception resource includes: time-frequency domain resource configuration of the perception signal or a sequence format used by the perception signal.

[0047] Optionally, the device that reports the configuration information of the perception resource can be the first device that sends the perception signal, or it can be the device that receives the perception signal. When it is the first device that sends the perception signal, the configuration information can be carried in the above-mentioned indication message; when it is the first device that receives the perception signal, the device that sends the perception signal sends the configuration information of the perception resource to the device that receives the perception signal, so that the device that receives the perception signal can demodulate the perception signal according to the configuration information, and report the configuration information of the perception resource to the core network network element.

[0048] Optionally, when the first device is a base station, the core network network element sends a first request message, where the request message is used to instruct the first device to establish a perception resource configuration related to the perception task. The base station receives the first request message, configures the perception resources, and generates and sends a perception signal. When the first device is a user device, since the user device cannot directly configure the perception resources, the core network network element needs to first send a first request message to the base stations around the user device. After receiving the first request message, the base station configures the perception resources and sends an indication of the perception resources that can be used to the user device. After receiving the indication information, the user device selects the perception resources therefrom and generates and sends the perception signal.

[0049] The second aspect of the present application provides a data receiving method, which is applied to a core network element, and the method is executed by the core network element, or the method is executed by some components in the core network element (such as a processor, a chip or a chip system, etc.), or the method can also be implemented by a logic module or software that can realize all or part of the functions of the core network element. In the second aspect and its possible implementation, the method is described as being executed by the core network element. In the method, the core network element receives first information and perception data; the perception data is obtained by performing a perception task, and the first information is auxiliary information used when processing the perception data; when the type of the perception data is the first type, the core network element determines the parameters included in the first information; the core network element processes the perception data according to the first information.

[0050] In an embodiment of the present application, when the type of perception data reported by the first device is the first type, the core network network element determines the parameters included in the first information, and the first information is auxiliary information used in the processing of the perception data. That is to say, in an embodiment of the present application, the core network does not need to let the network device report the auxiliary information required for each type of perception data, but only allows the network device to report the auxiliary information required for the first type of perception data. Therefore, in an embodiment of the present application, the amount of information reported by the network device for assisting the processing of perception data can be reduced, thereby reducing the amount of data reported by the network device.

[0051] In a possible implementation manner of the second aspect, a core network element sends a first request message, where the first request message indicates to execute the perception task.

[0052] Based on the above technical solution, the core network network element sends a first request message to the first device. Accordingly, the first device determines the type of perception data to be reported based on the message, so that the type of perception data finally reported by the first device meets the requirements of the core network element.

[0053] In a possible implementation of the second aspect, a core network network element receives perception capability information, wherein the perception capability information includes: at least one of perception resolution, perception accuracy, perception range, perception refresh rate, false detection rate, and missed detection rate; the core network network element determines the type of perception data based on the perception capability information and / or the requirements of the perception task.

[0054] Based on the above technical solution, the first device reports its own perception capability to the core network element, so that the core network element determines the type of perception service that meets the perception capability of the first device, and sends the type of the perception task to the first device, so that the type of perception data reported by the first device is finally adapted to its own perception capability. The technical effect of the above solution is that since the type of perception data is determined by the core network element without the need for the first device to determine it, the time and resources consumed by the first device can be saved.

[0055] Optionally, the core network network element determines the type of perception data that needs to be reported by the first device based on the requirements of the perception task and / or the perception capability information. When the type of the perception data is the first type, the core network network element determines the auxiliary information required to process this type of perception data, thereby determining the parameters included in the first information, and sends an indication message to the first device, where the message is used to indicate the parameters that need to be included in the first information.

[0056] Optionally, the core network element receives the perception data reported by the first device, determines some auxiliary information needed to process the perception data, thereby determining the parameters included in the first information, and sends an indication message to the first device, which is used to indicate the parameters that the first information needs to include.

The technical effect of the above solution is that since the type of perception data is determined by the first device without the core network element, the time and resources consumed by the core network element can be saved.

[0069] Based on the above technical solution, when the first type is data used to describe the characteristics of the target object, reporting the indication information of the target object can help the core network network element determine whether the object perceived by the first device and the objects perceived by other devices are the same object, so that in the case of the same object, the perception data is merged with the perception data of the same object as the perceived object, and by reporting the timestamp information, the core network network element can be assisted in fusing the perception data with other perception data.

[0073] Based on the above technical solution, the core network element sends a first constraint to the first device to inform the first device of its requirement for the number of target objects, so that the first device can report the perception data that meets the requirement accordingly. Further, the core network element can send the first constraint to control the number of target objects included in the perception data reported by the first device, so as to control the data volume of the perception data reported by the first device.

[0074] In a possible implementation manner of the second aspect, the core network network element adjusts the first constraint according to the number of the target objects included in the perception data to obtain a second constraint; and the core network network element sends the second constraint.

[0075] Based on the above technical solution, the core network network element adjusts the first constraint according to the number of objects included in the perception data reported by the first device.

A wearable device is a portable device that is worn directly on the body or integrated into the user's clothes or accessories. Wearable devices are not only hardware devices, but also powerful functions achieved through software support, data interaction, and cloud interaction. Broadly speaking, wearable smart devices include full-featured, large-size, and independent of smartphones to achieve complete or partial functions, such as smart watches or smart glasses, etc., as well as those that only focus on a certain type of application function and need to be used in conjunction with other devices such as smartphones, such as various types of smart bracelets, smart helmets, and smart jewelry for vital sign monitoring.

[0123] The various terminals introduced above, if located on a vehicle, such as placed in a vehicle or installed in a vehicle, can be considered as vehicle-mounted terminals, which are also called on-board units (OBU).

[0125] 2. The network equipment involved in this application can be any device with wireless transceiver function, or a chip set in a device with specific wireless transceiver function. The network equipment can also be called a network device or RAN equipment, and the network equipment includes but is not limited to: base station, evolved NodeB (eNodeB), transmission reception point (TRP), next generation base station (next generation nodeB, gNB) in the fifth generation (5th generation, 5G) mobile communication system, next generation base station in the sixth generation (6th generation, 6G) mobile communication system, base station in the future mobile communication system, wireless fidelity (WiFi) system, long range radio (LoRa) system or access node in the Internet of Vehicles system. RAN equipment can also be a module or unit that completes part of the functions of the base station, for example, it can be a centralized unit (CU), a distributed unit (DU), or a radio unit (RU). The CU here completes the functions of the radio resource control protocol and the packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) of the base station, and can also complete the function of the service data adaptation protocol (SDAP); the DU completes the functions of the radio link control layer and the medium access control (MAC) layer of the base station, and can also complete the functions of part of the physical layer or all of the physical layer. For the specific description of the above-mentioned various protocol layers, please refer to the relevant technical specifications of the third generation partnership project (3GPP). CU and DU can be set separately, or they can also be included in the same network element, such as the baseband unit (BBU). RU can be included in a radio frequency device or a radio frequency unit, such as a remote radio unit (RRU), an active antenna unit (AAU) or a remote radio head (RRH). In different systems, CU, DU or RU may also have different names, but those skilled in the art can understand their meanings.For example, in the ORAN system, CU may also be referred to as O-CU (open CU), DU may also be referred to as O-DU, and RU may also be referred to as O-RU. Any unit in the CU (or CU-CP, CU-UP), DU and RU in the present application may be implemented by a software module, a hardware module, or a combination of a software module and a hardware module. The wireless access network device may be a macro base station, a micro base station or an indoor station, a relay node or a donor node, etc. The network device in the embodiments of the present application may be any of the above-mentioned devices or devices in the devices, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific technology and specific device form adopted by the network device. For the sake of ease of description, the network device is referred to as a wireless access network device, and the base station is taken as an example of a wireless access network device.

[0126] Among them, the network device can send configuration information to the terminal device (for example, carried in a scheduling message and / or an indication message), and the terminal device further performs network configuration according to the configuration information, so that the network configuration between the network device and the terminal device is aligned; or, through the network configuration preset in the network device and the network configuration preset in the terminal device, the network configuration between the network device and the terminal device is aligned. Specifically, "alignment" means that when there is an interactive message between the network device and the terminal device, the two have a consistent understanding of the carrier frequency for sending and receiving the interactive message, the determination of the interactive message type, the meaning of the field information carried in the interactive message, or other configurations of the interactive message.

[0127] In addition, in other possible cases, the network device may be other devices that provide wireless communication functions for the terminal device. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific technology and specific device form used by the network device. For the convenience of description, the embodiments of the present application do not limit.

[0128] The network equipment may also include core network equipment, which may include, for example, AMF, user plane function (UPF) or session management function (SMF).

[0129] In the embodiment of the present application, the device for realizing the function of the network device may be a network device, or may be a device capable of supporting the network device to realize the function, such as a chip system, which may be installed in the network device. In the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application is described by taking the device for realizing the function of the network device as an example that the network device is used as the device.

[0130] 3. The terms "system" and "network" in the embodiments of the present application can be used interchangeably. "At least one" means one or more, and "plurality" means two or more. "And / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: the existence of A alone, the existence of A and B at the same time, and the existence of B alone, where A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship. "At least one of the following" or similar expressions refers to any combination of these items, including any combination of single items or plural items. For example, "at least one of A, B and C" includes A, B, C, AB, AC, BC or ABC. And, unless otherwise specified, the ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second" mentioned in the embodiments of the present application are used to distinguish multiple objects, and are not used to limit the order, timing, priority or importance of multiple objects.

[0131] The following is an example of the system architecture of the embodiment of the present application.

[0132] The present application can be applied to a long term evolution (LTE) system, a new radio (NR) system, or other communication systems, wherein the communication system includes a network device and a terminal device, the network device serves as a configuration information sending entity, and the terminal device serves as a configuration information receiving entity. Specifically, in the communication system, there is an entity that sends configuration information to another entity, and sends data to another entity, or receives data sent by another entity; another entity receives the configuration information, and sends data to the configuration information sending entity according to the configuration information, or receives data sent by the configuration information sending entity. Among them, the present application can be applied to a terminal device in a connected state or an active state (active), and can also be applied to a terminal device in a non-connected state (inactive) or an idle state (idle).

[0133] See also Figure 1 , is a schematic diagram of a possible, non-limiting application scenario provided by this application. The solution provided by this application can be applied to Figure 1 The communication system 1000 is shown.

[0134] like Figure 1 As shown, the communication system includes a wireless access network 100 and a core network 200. Optionally, the communication system 1000 may also include the Internet 300. The wireless access network 100 may include at least one wireless access network device (which may also be understood as a network device as described above, such as Figure 1 110a and 110b), and may also include at least one terminal (which may also be understood as the terminal device described above, such as Figure 1In addition, the wireless access network device may be a macro base station (eg, Figure 1 110a), or a micro base station or an indoor station (such as Figure 1 110b), it can also be a relay node or a donor node, etc. It can be understood that all or part of the functions of the wireless access network device in this application can also be implemented by software functions running on hardware, or by virtualization functions instantiated on a platform (such as a cloud platform). The embodiments of this application do not limit the specific technology and specific device form adopted by the wireless access network device.

[0135] For ease of description, a base station is used as a wireless access network device, and a terminal device is recorded as a terminal as an example for description. It can be understood that when the communication system includes an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) network, the base station can be an IAB node.

[0136] In this application, the base station and the terminal can be fixed or movable. The base station and the terminal can be deployed on land, including indoors or outdoors, handheld or vehicle-mounted, or on the water surface, or on aircraft, balloons, and artificial satellites in the air. The embodiments of this application do not limit the application scenarios of the base station and the terminal.

[0137] The roles of the base station and the terminal can be relative, for example, Figure 1 The helicopter or drone 120i in the figure can be configured as a mobile base station. For the terminal 120j that accesses the wireless access network 100 through 120i, the terminal 120i is a base station. But for the base station 110a, 120i is a terminal, that is, 110a and 120i communicate through the wireless air interface protocol. Of course, 110a and 120i can also communicate through the interface protocol between base stations. In this case, relative to 110a, 120i is also a base station. Therefore, base stations and terminals can be collectively referred to as communication devices. Figure 1 110a and 110b in the figure may be referred to as communication devices having base station functions. Figure 1 120a-120j in the figure can be called communication devices with terminal functions.

[0138] Communication between base stations and terminals, between base stations and base stations, and between terminals and terminals can be carried out through authorized spectrum, through unlicensed spectrum, or through both authorized spectrum and unlicensed spectrum. Communication can be carried out through spectrum below 6 gigahertz (GHz), through spectrum above 6 GHz, or through spectrum below 6 GHz and spectrum above 6 GHz at the same time. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the spectrum resources used for wireless communication.

[0139] In the embodiments of the present application, the functions of the base station may also be performed by a module (such as a chip) in the base station, or by a control subsystem including the base station function. The control subsystem including the base station function here may be a control center in the application scenarios of the above-mentioned terminals such as smart grid, industrial control, smart transportation, smart city, etc. The functions of the terminal may also be performed by a module (such as a chip or a modem) in the terminal, or by a device including the terminal function.

[0140] In this application, the base station sends a downlink signal (or downlink information) to the terminal, and the downlink signal (or downlink information) is carried on a downlink channel. The terminal sends an uplink signal (or uplink information) to the base station, and the uplink signal (or uplink information) is carried on an uplink channel.

[0141] In recent years, with the continuous development and progress of communication technology, the research on 5.5G has become more and more in-depth. The industry has proposed a 5.5G vision, which is an enhancement and expansion of 5G scenarios. Based on the 5G scenario, 5.5G will expand three new scenarios, including uplink centric broadband communication (UCBC), real-time broadband communication (RTBC) and harmonized communication and sensing (HCS).

[0142] HCS is mainly used in two scenarios: Internet of Vehicles and UAVs. HCS can be used to support autonomous driving technology. By applying the cellular network's massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) beam scanning technology to the perception field, HCS can provide both communication and perception in the scenario; if extended to indoor scenarios, it can also provide positioning services.

[0143] According to the number of nodes involved in perception, HCS can be divided into single-node perception and multi-node collaborative perception. Among them, single-node perception cannot measure tangential velocity or construct complete environmental information, while multi-node collaborative perception can solve this problem well.

[0144] In the communication perception process, after receiving the perception signal, the network device needs to process the perception signal, and then report the data based on the processing result. In the prior art, the amount of data reported by the network device is too large, resulting in a large amount of bandwidth resources occupied, which may eventually affect the data reporting speed.

[0145] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a data reporting method, a data receiving method and related devices, which can reduce the amount of data reported by network devices during communication perception.

[0146] The following is an example of the method flow of the embodiment of the present application.

[0147] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the data reporting method provided for this application. It should be noted that: Figure 2 The method is illustrated by taking the first device as the execution subject as an example, but the present application does not limit the execution subject of the method. Specifically, Figure 2 In the corresponding embodiment, the execution subject in S201-S204 is the first device, and the execution subject may also be a chip, a chip system, or a processor that supports the first device to implement the method, or a logic module or software that can implement all or part of the functions of the first device. The first device may be an access network element, such as a base station, or a user device, such as a mobile phone, and this application does not limit this. Figure 2 The method is illustrated by taking a core network element as a device for receiving the perception data and the first information reported by the first device as an example, but the present application does not limit the execution subject of the method.

[0148] The method comprises the following steps:

[0149] S201. The first device determines the type of perception data to be reported, where the perception data is obtained by performing a perception task;

[0150] It is understandable that, since the first device may have the ability to process the perception signal in a variety of ways, thereby being able to obtain different types of perception data, it is necessary to first determine which type of perception data needs to be reported. However, the present application does not limit all first devices to the need to determine the type of perception data. For first devices that can only report one type of data, for example, some devices can only demodulate the perception signal to obtain a baseband signal, but cannot perform other data processing. For this type of first device, the first information corresponding to the type of perception data can be directly reported without first determining the type of perception data. Step S201 focuses on the fact that all first devices know the type of perception data they need to report. As for whether the first device already knows the type of perception data and does not need to determine it by itself, or whether the first device needs to determine the type of perception data to be reported by itself, the present application does not impose any restrictions.

[0151] It should be noted that the present application does not limit step S201 to be performed after the first device obtains the perception data, and step S201 may also be performed before the first device obtains the perception data. When the type of the perception data is determined before the first device obtains the perception data, the first device processes the received perception signal after determining the type of the perception data so that the processed perception data is of the type.

[0152] It should be noted that the first device may include multiple devices. The first device may include both a device that sends a perception signal and a device that receives a perception signal. The first device may also be a device that only receives a perception signal. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0153] Before step S201, the core network element receives a sensing task request message, which is used to request the execution of the sensing task in step S201. Since there may be multiple devices capable of sensing in a communication system, the core network element must first determine which devices can participate in the sensing task in step S201, that is, determine which devices can serve as the first device. Specifically, the following process is included:

[0154] Optionally, the perception function network element in the core network element receives a perception task request message sent by an upper-layer network element, where the request message carries the requirements of the perception task.

[0155] Optionally, the upper-layer network element is an application layer function (AF) network element.

[0156] Optionally, the requirement of the perception task is a QoS requirement, which includes at least one of: perception resolution, perception accuracy, perception range, perception refresh rate, false detection rate, missed detection rate, and perception delay.

[0157] Optionally, the core network network element requests multiple devices to send perception capability information in one of the following ways: the core network network element sends a request message to multiple devices including the first device, where the message is used to request these devices to periodically report perception capability information, and thereafter the core network network element no longer needs to send request messages to these devices, and these devices will periodically report their perception capability information to the core network network element; each time the core network network element receives a perception task, the core network element sends a request message to multiple devices including the first device, where the message is used to request these devices to send perception capability information.

[0158] In a possible implementation, the type of the perception data is carried in the first request message, and before determining the type of the perception data, the first device reports the perception capability information to the core network element.

[0159] Optionally, the perception capability information includes: perception resolution, perception accuracy or perception range.

[0160] Optionally, the core network element determines which devices can participate in the perception task based on the perception capability information and the perception task requirements.

[0161] For example, the perception range of device 1 includes: the area where target 1 is located, the area where target 2 is located, the perception range of device 2 includes: the area where target 3 is located, the area where target 4 is located, and the perception task is to perceive target 2 and target 5. Therefore, the core network element can determine that device 1 can participate in the perception task, that is, device 1 can serve as the first device.

[0162] After determining which devices can participate in the perception task, the core network element can send a first request message to the devices that can participate in the perception task, that is, send a first request message to the first device, and the first request message is used to request the execution of the perception task. This application does not limit the first request message to be sent by the core network element. For example, when the first device is a user device, the core network element first sends a perception task request message to the base station, and then the base station sends the first request message to the first device.

[0163] After receiving the first request message, the first device may determine the type of the sensing data in the following manner:

[0164] In a possible implementation, the first device determines the type of perception data according to a received first request message, where the first request message indicates to perform the perception task.

[0165] It is understandable that the core network element or other device sends a first request message to the first device to instruct the first device to perform the perception task. Correspondingly, the first device receives the first request message and then determines the type of the perception data according to the first request message. Specifically, the first device can determine the type of the perception data according to the information carried by the first request message.

[0166] The information carried by the first request message may be different. Specifically, the information carried by the first request message includes at least one of the following:

[0167] 1. The first request message carries the type of sensing data.

[0168] In this case, the first device can directly obtain the type of the perception data. Accordingly, the core network element needs to determine the type of the perception data before sending the first request message.

[0169] Optionally, the core network element determines the type of perception data according to the perception capability information of the first device and / or the requirements of the perception task.

[0170] It is understandable that the core network element can determine the type of perception data based on the perception capability information of the first device and the requirements of the perception task. For example, when the perception resolution of the first device cannot meet the requirements of the perception task, the type of perception data reported by the first device is: baseband signal, so that the core network network element further processes the baseband signal to obtain perception data that meets the requirements. For example, when the perception resolution that the first device can achieve is higher than the requirements of the perception data, the core network can determine the type of perception data reported by the first device according to the requirements of the perception task. For example, when the requirement of the perception task is to identify target A, the type of perception data uploaded by the first device is: perception data used to describe the characteristics of the target object; the core network network element can also determine the type of perception data only according to the requirements of the perception task. For example, if the core network network element determines that the type of perception data reported by the first device is: data used to describe signal characteristics according to the requirements of the perception task to extract signal characteristics; the core network network element can also determine the type of perception data only according to the perception capability information. For example, the perception capability information indicates that the first device can only demodulate the perception signal to obtain a baseband signal, and cannot perform further processing. At this time, the core network network element can determine that the type of perception data reported by the first device is: baseband signal.

[0171] 2. The first request message carries the requirements of the sensing task.

[0172] It should be noted that the requirements of the perception task are carried in the perception task request message received by the aforementioned core network element.

[0173] In this case, the first device cannot directly obtain the type of the perception data through the first request message, but needs to determine the type of the perception data by itself. Specifically, the first device can determine the type of the perception data in the following manner:

[0174] In a possible implementation manner, the first device determines the type of perception data according to requirements of the perception task and / or perception capability information of the first device.

[0175] Similar to the core network determining the type of perception data as mentioned above, the first device may also determine the type of perception data based on its own perception capability information and the requirements of the perception task; the first device may also determine the type of perception data based only on the requirements of the perception task; the first device may also determine the type of perception data based only on the perception capability information, which will not be elaborated here.

[0176] 3. The first request message carries the first constraint.

[0177] After the core network network element determines the type of perception data that the first device needs to report, when the type of perception data is: data used to describe the characteristics of a target object, if the perception data reported by the first device includes too many target objects, the amount of perception data will be too large; if the perception data includes too many invalid target objects, the core network network element will need to perform invalid analysis on the invalid target objects, wasting time and resources; if the perception data includes too few target objects, or too few valid target objects, the core network element will not be able to analyze the target objects more comprehensively. Therefore, the core network network element needs to inform the first device of its requirements for the number of target objects included in the perception data.

[0178] In a possible implementation, before reporting the first information and the perception data, the first device receives a first constraint sent by a core network element, wherein the first constraint is used to constrain the number of the target objects included in the perception data.

[0179] It should be noted that the first request message may only carry the first constraint, and the first constraint may not be sent through other request messages. The sending of the first constraint does not depend on the determination of the type of perception data. In other words, it is not necessary to determine the type of perception data before sending the first constraint. Furthermore, the first device does not need to send the first constraint only when any of steps S201 to S204 need to be performed. When the core network element needs to constrain the number of target objects reported by the first device, the first constraint can be sent to the first device.

[0180] Optionally, when the first device obtains the perception data through a target detection algorithm, the first constraint is a threshold of the target detection algorithm, or a threshold detection algorithm. After receiving the threshold, the first device can determine which objects are valid objects, i.e., target objects, according to the threshold, and report these target objects.

[0181] Optionally, the threshold may be a confidence threshold or an IoU threshold of an object detection algorithm.

[0182] Optionally, when the first device obtains the perception data by estimating a parameter of the perceived object, the first constraint is a mean square error of the estimate of the parameter, wherein the parameter includes: distance, speed, angle or position.

[0183] Optionally, the first request message may also carry: an identifier of the perception task or an identifier of a corresponding perception session.

[0184] Optionally, the first request message can also be used to instruct the first device to establish a perception resource configuration related to the perception task. The core network network element can also instruct the first device to establish a perception resource configuration related to the perception task by sending other request messages. Accordingly, the first device configures the perception resources, and after the configuration of the perception resources is established, it sends an indication message to the core network network element to indicate that the perception resources have been configured.

[0185] After the sensing resource configuration is completed, the first device generates a sensing signal and sends the sensing signal to the sensing range indicated by the sensing task requirement. The sensing signal is reflected by the target in the environment and then received by other first devices. The received signal after the sensing signal is reflected is also called an echo signal, which is referred to as the sensing signal below. Figure 3 For example, Figure 3 The first device is a general term for devices that send and receive perception signals. One of the first devices sends a perception signal, and the perception signal is received by other first devices after being reflected by target 1 and target 2.

[0186] Optionally, when the type of perception data reported by the first device is a baseband signal, the first device needs to report the configuration information of the perception resource, and the configuration information of the perception resource can be carried in the above indication message. If the configuration information of the perception resource is not carried in the above indication message, the core network element sends a request message to the first device to request the first device to send the configuration information of the perception resource.

[0187] It should be noted that the configuration information of the perception resource can be included in the first information of the subsequent step S204 and sent together with other first information, or can be sent separately and carried in the above-mentioned indication message or other messages.

[0188] Optionally, the configuration information of the perception resource includes: time-frequency domain resource configuration of the perception signal or a sequence format used by the perception signal.

[0189] Optionally, the device that reports the configuration information of the perception resource can be the first device that sends the perception signal, or it can be the device that receives the perception signal. When it is the first device that sends the perception signal, the configuration information can be carried in the above-mentioned indication message; when it is the first device that receives the perception signal, the device that sends the perception signal sends the configuration information of the perception resource to the device that receives the perception signal, so that the device that receives the perception signal can demodulate the perception signal according to the configuration information, and report the configuration information of the perception resource to the core network network element.

[0190] Optionally, when the first device is a base station, the core network network element sends a first request message, where the request message is used to instruct the first device to establish a perception resource configuration related to the perception task. The base station receives the first request message, configures the perception resources, and generates and sends a perception signal. When the first device is a user device, since the user device cannot directly configure the perception resources, the core network network element needs to first send a first request message to the base stations around the user device. After receiving the first request message, the base station configures the perception resources and sends an indication of the perception resources that can be used to the user device. After receiving the indication information, the user device selects the perception resources therefrom and generates and sends the perception signal.

[0191] S202. When the type of the perception data is the first type, the first device determines the parameters included in the first information;

[0192] It should be noted that the first information is auxiliary information used when processing the perception data.

[0193] According to the conclusions reached by the current 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) system and service and system aspects (SA), the perception data can be reported directly or after data processing, and the first device may have different processing levels for the baseband signal. Before the perception data is fused, since the perception data with different data processing levels cannot be directly fused, the core network network element needs to process the perception data so that each perception data is at the same processing level. Therefore, for data with different processing levels, the core network needs to perform different data processing, and the parameters included in the first information for auxiliary data processing that the first device needs to report are also different. Therefore, the present application divides the perception data into different types according to the different processing levels of the perception signal, and then the first device reports the corresponding first information based on the type of the perception data. Specifically, it includes the following three types:

[0194] 1. Baseband signal: After receiving the sensing signal, the first device performs relevant signal demodulation operations to obtain a baseband signal. The baseband signal includes a real part and an imaginary part, also known as IQ path data.

[0195] 2. Data used to describe signal characteristics: This data is obtained by performing relevant signal processing on the baseband signal, such as channel estimation or Fourier transform, to obtain corresponding perception data.

[0196] 3. Data used to describe the characteristics of the target object: This data is processed by an algorithm based on the data used to describe the signal characteristics to obtain perception data, thereby realizing the perception of the target object.

[0197] These three types have a progressive relationship in terms of the degree of data processing, such as Figure 4 As shown, the data used to describe the signal characteristics are obtained by performing signal processing on the baseband signal, and the data used to describe the characteristics of the target object are obtained by processing the data used to describe the signal characteristics using an algorithm.

[0198] As mentioned above, the processing degree of the perception data is different, and the corresponding first information includes different parameters, which is determined by the characteristics of the data. As shown in Table 1, the first information reported by the first device needs to include different parameters for the perception data with different processing degrees, which is explained in detail below:

[0199] Table 1

[0200]

[0201] In Table 1, if a check is made in a cell, it indicates that the first information corresponding to the type of the perception data may include the parameter.

[0202] When the type of perception data, that is, the first type, is a baseband signal, since the first device directly sends the baseband signal to the core network element, the core network element cannot demodulate the baseband signal. Therefore, the first device needs to send information to the core network element to assist in demodulating the baseband signal. To this end, the first device can send the configuration information of the perception resource, and then the core network element can determine the time-frequency domain resource configuration of the baseband signal and the sequence format used by the baseband signal according to the perception resource configuration information, thereby assisting in the demodulation of the baseband signal. In the scenario of multi-node collaborative perception, the baseband signal reported by the first device needs to be fused with other perception data. Therefore, the core network element needs to perform signal processing on the baseband signal so that the core network element can fuse the baseband signal with other types of perception data. To this end, the first device can also report time slot information or frame information, so that the core network element can determine the time domain position of the baseband signal reported by the first device in all received signals, so that the core network element can perform signal processing; to this end, the first device can report the beam direction, which is used to inform the core network element of the beam direction used by the first device, so that the core network element uses the correct beam configuration to process the baseband signal. In order to better integrate the baseband signal with other perception data, the first device needs to report timestamp information, which is used to inform the core network element of the time period for the first device to perceive, so as to facilitate the core network element to integrate the perception data.

[0203] In a possible implementation, when the first type is a baseband signal, the first device determines that the first information includes: configuration information of the perception resource, time slot information, frame information, timestamp information, and at least one parameter of the beam direction.

[0204] Optionally, when the first type is a baseband signal, the first information is composed of at least one parameter of configuration information of the perception resource, time slot information, frame information, timestamp information, and beam direction.

[0205] Optionally, when the first type is a baseband signal, the first information does not include: indication information of the target object.

[0206] When the type of the perception data, i.e., the first type, is data for describing signal characteristics, since the first device has demodulated the baseband signal into data for describing signal characteristics, the first device does not need to send information for assisting baseband signal demodulation to the core network element. The data for describing signal characteristics is the result of signal processing performed by the first device. In order to assist the fusion of the data with other perception data, the core network element may need to perform further signal processing on the data. To this end, the first device needs to report time slot information or frame information, so that the core network element can determine the time domain position of the baseband signal reported by the first device in all received signals, so that the core network element can perform further signal processing; the first device also needs to report the beam direction, which is used to inform the core network element of the beam direction used by the first device and other information, so that the core network element uses the correct beam configuration to perform signal processing on the data. In order to achieve a better fusion effect of the data with other perception data, the first device needs to report timestamp information, which is used to inform the core network element of the time period for the first device to perceive, so as to facilitate the fusion of perception data by the core network element.

[0207] In a possible implementation, when the first type is data for describing signal characteristics, the first device determines that the first information includes: at least one parameter of the time slot information, the frame information, the timestamp information, and the beam direction.

[0208] Optionally, when the first type is data for describing signal characteristics, the first information is composed of at least one parameter of time slot information, frame information, timestamp information, and beam direction.

[0209] Optionally, when the first type is data used to describe signal characteristics, the first information does not include: configuration information of the perception resource and indication information of the target object.

[0210] After receiving the perception signal, the first device first demodulates the perception signal to obtain a baseband signal, and then processes the baseband signal to obtain data for describing the signal characteristics. The first device may process the baseband signal in the following manner:

[0211] Optionally, the first device performs channel estimation on the baseband signal to obtain CSI information, and reports the CSI information as perception data to a core network element.

[0212] Optionally, the first device performs Fourier transform on the above CSI information to obtain a delay spectrum, a distance spectrum, a speed spectrum or an angle spectrum of the perception signal, and reports these data as perception data to the core network element.

[0213] The delay spectrum, distance spectrum, speed spectrum, etc. can be used by the core network to determine the two-dimensional representation of the perception signal, which facilitates the core network elements to perform further target detection.

[0214] Optionally, the first device calculates reference signal reception power, reference signal reception quality, signal-to-noise ratio, etc. of the baseband signal, and reports these data as perception data to the core network element.

[0215] When the type of perception data, that is, the first type, is data used to describe the characteristics of the target object, since the first device processes the signal at this time, the perception data sent by the first device is the result of perceiving the target. Therefore, the first device does not need to send information to the core network element to assist in signal processing. Since the core network needs to fuse the perception data with other perception data in the case of multi-node collaborative perception, in order to make the fusion effect of the baseband signal and other perception data better, the first device needs to report the indication information of the target object. Through the indication information of the target object, the core network element can determine whether the object perceived by the perception data is the same object as the object perceived by other perception data; the first device needs to report timestamp information, and the timestamp information is used to inform the core network element of the time period for the first device to perceive, so as to facilitate the core network element to fuse the perception data.

[0216] In one possible implementation, when the first type is data used to describe characteristics of a target object, the first device determines that the first information includes: indication information of the target object and at least one parameter in the timestamp information, wherein the target object is an object perceived by the perception task.

[0217] Optionally, when the first type is data used to describe characteristics of a target object, the first information is composed of at least one parameter of indication information and timestamp information of the target object.

[0218] Optionally, when the first type is data used to describe characteristics of a target object, the first information does not include: configuration information of the perception resource, time slot information, frame information, and beam direction.

[0219] Optionally, the indication information of the target object is an identifier of the target object.

[0220] When the first device is a user device, since the user device will continue to move, and the determination of parameters such as the position of the target object is closely related to the position of the user device performing perception, the user device needs to report the absolute coordinate system of the area it can perceive or the position of the user device so that the core network element can perform multi-node data fusion.

[0221] Optionally, when the first device is a user equipment, the first information reported by the user equipment to the core network element further includes: location information of the user equipment or an absolute coordinate system of a perception area of ​​the user equipment.

[0222] Optionally, when the type of the perception data is the first type, in addition to determining the parameters included in the first information through the first device, the parameters included in the first information may also be determined through a core network element.

[0223] Specifically, the core network element may determine the parameters included in the first information in one of the following ways, and notify the first device of the parameters that need to be included in the first information:

[0224] 1. The core network network element determines the type of perception data that needs to be reported by the first device according to the requirements of the perception task and / or the perception capability information. When the type of the perception data is the first type, the core network network element determines the auxiliary information required to process the perception data of this type, thereby determining the parameters included in the first information, and sends an indication message to the first device, where the message is used to indicate the parameters that need to be included in the first information.

[0225] 2. The core network element receives the perception data reported by the first device, determines some auxiliary information required to process the perception data, thereby determining the parameters included in the first information, and sends an indication message to the first device, where the message is used to indicate the parameters that the first information needs to include.

[0226] Optionally, the indication message is a first request message, that is, the first request message may also be used to indicate a parameter that the first information needs to include, so as to instruct the first device to report the first information including the parameter.

[0227] Accordingly, after the first device receives the first request message or indication message, it can directly obtain the parameters required to be included in the first information according to the first request message or indication message, without the need for the first device to determine that the type of the perception data is the first type before determining the parameters included in the first information.

[0228] S203. Based on the parameters included in the first information, the first device determines the first information;

[0229] It is understandable that step S202 only obtains the parameters included in the first information, and the specific value of each parameter needs to be further determined. As mentioned above, the first information may include: configuration information of the sensing resource, at least one parameter of time slot information, frame information, timestamp information, beam direction, and indication information of the target object.

[0230] Specifically, when the first information is the configuration information, time slot information, frame information, and beam direction of the perception resource, the first device that sends the perception signal will send this information together with the perception signal, so that the first device that receives the perception signal can determine the value of this information; when the first information is timestamp information, the first device determines the value of the timestamp information based on its own perception time period; when the first information is the indication information of the target, after the first device obtains the perception data through algorithm processing, it can obtain the perception result of the target object and determine the value of the indication information of the target.

[0231] S204. The first device reports the first information and perception data to the core network element.

[0232] This application does not limit that the perception data and the first information must be sent together, nor does this application limit that the parameters included in the first information must be sent together. Step S204 limits the first device from the perspective of the result to report the first information and the perception data to the core network element.

[0233] Correspondingly, the core network element receives the first information and the perception data, and processes the perception data according to the first information. Specifically, the perception data may be processed in the following manner:

[0234] Optionally, if the first type is configuration information of perception resources, time slot information of perception signals, frame information or beam direction of perception signals, the core network network element demodulates the perception data according to the first information; or if the first type is timestamp information, the core network network element determines the moment when the first device performs perception according to the first information, and merges the perception data with other perception data according to the first information; or if the first type is indication information of the target object, the core network network element determines whether the perception data and the object described by the other perception data are the same object according to the indication information of the target object; if they are the same object, the core network network element merges the perception data with the other perception data.

[0235] After the first device reports the perception data, if the number of targets included in the perception data is too small, it means that the first constraint set previously is too strict and needs to be adjusted. If the number of targets included in the perception data is too large, it means that the first constraint set previously is too loose and needs to be adjusted. Therefore, the core network element needs to adjust the first constraint according to the perception data reported by the first device.

[0236] In a possible implementation, the core network element adjusts the first constraint according to the number of the target objects included in the perception data to obtain a second constraint; and the core network element sends the second constraint.

[0237] based on Figure 2In the technical solution, when the type of the perception data reported by the first device is the first type, the core network element determines the parameters included in the first information, and the first information is the auxiliary information used in the perception data processing. Figure 2 The core network does not need to let the network device report the auxiliary information required for each type of perception data, but only allows the network device to report the auxiliary information required for the first type of perception data. Figure 2 The technical solution can reduce the amount of information reported by network devices for assisting in perception data processing, thereby reducing the amount of data reported by network devices.

[0238] The following four examples are combined to Figure 2 The method shown is illustrated by way of example.

[0239] The following four examples are Figure 2 Possible implementations of the method shown. Among them, Example 1a and Example 1b are examples of the first type in step S202 being a baseband signal, Example 1a is an example of the first device being a base station, Example 1b is an example of the first device being a user device, Example 2 is an example of the first type in step S202 being data for describing signal characteristics, Example 2 is an example of the first type in step S202 being data for describing characteristics of a target object, and Example 3 is an example of using a target detection algorithm to obtain perception data.

[0240] The first device may be a base station or a user equipment. In embodiments 1a and 1b, the base station or the user equipment generates and sends a perception signal, which is received by the base station or the user equipment. The base station or the user equipment that receives the perception signal demodulates the perception signal to obtain a baseband signal, and reports the baseband signal to the core network. The core network may use the perception signal configuration information sent in advance by the base station or the user equipment to perform relevant operations on the baseband signal, and then perform the next step of signal processing and other operations. The core idea of ​​embodiments 1a and 1b is that after configuring the perception signal, the base station or the user equipment needs to send the relevant configuration information of the perception signal to the core network.

[0241] In the current 3GPP SA1 discussion, it has been determined that the perception modes can be divided into the following six modes:

[0242] 1. Base station sends and receives signals on its own: The sensing signal is sent by the base station, reflected by the target in the environment, and then received by the base station.

[0243] 2. Base station A sends and base station B receives: The perception signal is sent by base station A, reflected by the target in the environment, and received by base station B.

[0244] 3. Base station sends and user equipment receives: The perception signal is sent by the base station, reflected by the target in the environment, and then received by the user equipment.

[0245] 4. User equipment sends and base station receives: The perception signal is sent by the user equipment, reflected by the target in the environment, and then received by the base station.

[0246] 5. User equipment sends and receives signals on its own: The sensing signal is sent by the user equipment, reflected by the target in the environment, and then received by the user equipment itself.

[0247] 6. User device A sends and user device B receives: The perception signal is sent by user device A, reflected by the target in the environment, and then received by user device B.

[0248] In the first to fourth sensing modes, the base station generates the sensing resource configuration and the sensing signal, so the base station only needs to send the generated sensing resource configuration and the sensing signal to the core network. Embodiment 1a is a case where the technical solution of the present application is applied to these four sensing modes.

[0249] In the fifth and sixth sensing modes, although the base station can configure the sensing resources, the user equipment may ultimately select the sensing resources and generate the corresponding sensing signal configuration. Therefore, in these two modes, the user equipment needs to send the configuration information of the sensing resources it uses to the core network element.

[0250] Example 1a

[0251] This embodiment is an example of the first type of baseband signal in step S202. This embodiment mainly targets four sensing modes: base station self-transmitting and self-receiving, base station A transmitting and B receiving, base station transmitting and user equipment receiving, and user equipment transmitting and base station receiving.

[0252] For ease of description, the following takes the example that the device sending the perception signal is a base station.

[0253] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of Example 1a, Figure 5 The specific process includes:

[0254] 501. A core network element receives a message for requesting to perform a sensing task;

[0255] This message carries the QoS requirements of the perception task and is sent by the AF network element to the perception function network element in the core network element.

[0256] The QoS requirements of the perception task include: at least one of perception resolution, perception accuracy, perception range, perception refresh rate, false detection rate, missed detection rate, and perception delay.

[0257] There are two ways for the core network network element to request the base station to send perception capability information: the first is that the core network network element sends a request message to the base station, which is used to request these devices to periodically report perception capability information. After that, the core network network element no longer needs to send request messages to these devices, and the base station will periodically report its perception capability information to the core network network element; the second is that the core network network element sends a request message to the base station every time it receives a perception task, which is used to request the base station to send perception capability information.

[0258] If it is the first case, after step 501, step 502 does not need to be performed, and step 504 is performed directly, because the base station will automatically report the sensing capability information to the core network element every other period. If it is the second case, step 502 needs to be performed after step 501.

[0259] 502. The core network element sends a message requesting reporting of sensing capability information to the base station;

[0260] 503. The base station reports the sensing capability information;

[0261] The perception capability information includes: perception resolution, perception accuracy or perception range.

[0262] 504. The core network element determines the base station that can participate in the sensing task according to the sensing capability information and the QoS requirement of the sensing task;

[0263] 505. The core network element sends a first request message to a base station that can participate in the sensing task;

[0264] The first request message is used to instruct the base station to perform a sensing task and configure sensing resources.

[0265] The information carried by the first request message includes: the QoS requirement of the sensing task or the type of sensing data, and the identifier of the sensing task or the identifier of the corresponding sensing session.

[0266] When the first request message carries the type of perception data, the core network element needs to determine the type of perception data before step 505. Specifically, the core network element can determine the type of perception data according to the QoS requirements of the perception task and / or perception capability information.

[0267] 506. The base station configures sensing resources, generates and sends a sensing signal;

[0268] 507. The base station sends an instruction message to the core network element;

[0269] This indication message is used to indicate that the sensing resource has been configured;

[0270] If the indication message does not carry the configuration information of the perception resources, the core network network element also needs to send a second request message to the user equipment, and the second request message is used to request the reporting of the configuration information of the perception resources. Accordingly, the user equipment sends the configuration information of the perception resources to the core network element; if the indication message carries the configuration information of the perception resources, the core network element does not need to send the second request message to the user equipment.

[0271] The configuration information of the perception resources includes the time-frequency domain resource configuration of the perception signal, the sequence format used by the perception signal, etc.

[0272] 508. The base station determines the type of the sensing data;

[0273] If the first request message in step 505 does not carry the type of the perception data, the base station can determine the type of the perception data according to the QoS requirements of the perception task and / or the perception capability information. Embodiment 1a takes the first type as a baseband signal as an example, that is, after step 508, the base station determines that the type of the perception data is a baseband signal, and correspondingly, the first information includes parameters: configuration information of the perception resource, time slot information, frame information, timestamp information, and at least one parameter of the beam direction.

[0274] 509. The base station receives the sensing signal and processes the sensing signal to obtain sensing data.

[0275] Specifically, the base station demodulates the sensing signal to obtain a baseband signal.

[0276] 510. The base station sends the first information and the perception data to the core network element;

[0277] As mentioned above, the first information includes parameters including: configuration information of the perception resource, time slot information, frame information, timestamp information, and at least one parameter of the beam direction.

[0278] The perception resource configuration includes the time-frequency domain resource configuration of the perception signal, the sequence format used by the perception signal, etc.

[0279] 511. The core network element processes the perception data through the first information.

[0280] The core network element demodulates the perception data according to the configuration information of the perception resource, the time slot information of the perception signal, the frame information or the beam direction of the perception signal; the core network element fuses the perception data with other perception data according to the timestamp information.

[0281] Example 1b

[0282] This embodiment is an example of the first type of baseband signal in step S202. This embodiment mainly focuses on two perception modes: user equipment sends and receives signals by itself, and user equipment A sends and user equipment B receives.

[0283] For the convenience of description, the user equipment described below may be used to refer to a user equipment that sends a perception signal, and may also be used to refer to a user equipment that receives a perception signal.

[0284] Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of Example 1b, Figure 6 The specific process includes:

[0285] 601. The core network element receives a message for requesting to perform a sensing task;

[0286] 602. The core network element sends a message requesting reporting of perception capability information to the user equipment;

[0287] 603. The user device reports the sensing capability information;

[0288] 604. The core network element determines a base station that can participate in the sensing task according to the sensing capability information and the QoS requirement of the sensing task;

[0289] The above steps 601-604 are similar to steps 501-504 in embodiment 1a, and are not described again here.

[0290] 605. The core network element sends a first request message to the base station;

[0291] Since the user equipment cannot configure perception resources, the core network element needs to send a first request message to the base station near the user equipment. The information carried in the request message includes: the QoS requirement of the perception task or the type of perception data, and the identifier of the perception task or the identifier of the corresponding perception session.

[0292] 606. The base station configures sensing resources;

[0293] After receiving the first request message, the base station may forward the first request message to the user equipment and configure the sensing resources according to the first request message.

[0294] 607. The base station sends indication information of available sensing resources to the user equipment;

[0295] 608. The user equipment selects a sensing resource, and uses the sensing resource to generate and send a sensing signal.

[0296] Specifically, there may be two types of indication information for the user equipment to receive the perception resources. First, the user equipment may read the broadcast information sent by the base station, which includes the perception resource pool related to the perception task. Second, the user equipment may receive dedicated signaling sent by the base station, such as an RRC message, which includes the perception resource pool related to the perception task. The perception resource pool is a series of perception resources related to the perception task. The user equipment may select the required perception resources from the perception resource pool, and then use the perception resources to generate corresponding perception signals.

[0297] 609. The user equipment sends an indication message to the core network element;

[0298] 610. The base station determines the type of the sensing data;

[0299] 611. The user equipment receives the perception signal and processes the perception signal to obtain perception data.

[0300] 612. The user equipment sends the first information and the perception data to the core network element;

[0301] 613. The core network element processes the perception data through the first information.

[0302] The above steps 609-613 are similar to steps 507-511 in embodiment 1a and are not described again here.

[0303] The beneficial effects of Example 1a and Example 1b are: the base station or user equipment can report the baseband signal to the core network. Since the baseband signal contains complete channel information, a large performance gain can be obtained in the information fusion process of multi-node collaborative perception.

[0304] Example 2

[0305] This embodiment is an example of the first type of data in step S202, which is the user description signal characteristics. This embodiment can mainly target six perception modes: base station spontaneous transmission and self-reception, base station A transmission and B reception, base station transmission and user equipment reception, user equipment transmission and base station reception, user equipment spontaneous transmission and self-reception, and user equipment A transmission and user equipment B reception.

[0306] For ease of description, the following example takes the case where both the device receiving the perception signal and the device sending the perception signal are base stations.

[0307] Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of Example 2, Figure 7 The specific process includes:

[0308] 701. A core network element receives a message for requesting to perform a sensing task;

[0309] 702. The core network element sends a message to the base station for requesting to report the sensing capability information;

[0310] 703. The base station reports the sensing capability information;

[0311] 704. The core network element determines, according to the sensing capability information, a base station that can participate in the sensing task and a type of sensing data that the base station needs to report;

[0312] The above steps 701-704 are similar to steps 501-504 in embodiment 1a, and are not described again here.

[0313] After step 704, if it is one of the four modes, namely, the base station sends and receives by itself, the base station A sends and B receives, the base station sends and the user equipment receives, or the user equipment sends and the base station receives, then execute steps 705 and 706. If it is one of the two modes, namely, the user equipment sends and receives by itself, and the user equipment A sends and the user equipment B receives, then after step 704, refer to 605 to 608 of Example 1b.

[0314] 705. The core network element sends a first request message to a base station that can participate in the sensing task;

[0315] 706. The base station configures sensing resources, generates and sends a sensing signal;

[0316] The above steps 705 and 706 are similar to steps 505-506 in embodiment 1a, and are not described again here.

[0317] 707. The base station sends an indication message to the core network element;

[0318] Since the first type is data used to describe signal characteristics, when the base station sends an indication message to the core network element to indicate that the perception resource configuration is completed, the indication message does not need to carry the configuration information of the perception resource.

[0319] 708. The base station determines the type of the sensing data;

[0320] If the first request message in step 705 does not carry the type of the perception data, the base station can determine the type of the perception data according to the QoS requirements and / or the perception capability information of the perception task. Embodiment 2 takes the first type as data for describing signal characteristics as an example, that is, after step 708, the base station determines that the type of the perception data is data for describing signal characteristics, and correspondingly, the first information includes parameters of at least one of time slot information, frame information, timestamp information, and beam direction.

[0321] 709. The base station receives the perception signal, and processes the perception signal to obtain perception data.

[0322] Specifically, the signal processing includes:

[0323] The base station performs channel estimation on the baseband signal to obtain CSI information;

[0324] The base station performs Fourier transform on the CSI information to obtain a delay spectrum, a distance spectrum, a speed spectrum or an angle spectrum of the perception signal;

[0325] The base station calculates the reference signal received power, reference signal received quality, signal-to-noise ratio, etc. of the baseband signal.

[0326] 710. The base station sends the first information and the perception data to the core network element;

[0327] The perception data includes: CSI information, delay spectrum, distance spectrum, speed spectrum, angle spectrum, reference signal reception power, reference signal reception quality or signal-to-noise ratio.

[0328] As mentioned above, the first information includes parameters including at least one of time slot information, frame information, timestamp information, and beam direction.

[0329] 711. The core network element processes the perception data through the first information.

[0330] The core network element performs signal processing on the perception data according to the time slot information of the perception signal, the frame information of the perception signal or the beam direction; the core network element fuses the perception data with other perception data according to the timestamp information.

[0331] The beneficial effect of this embodiment is that the base station or user equipment can report data used to describe signal characteristics to the core network. The data contains more channel information. Compared with reporting baseband signals, the amount of reported data is greatly reduced, which is suitable for perception reporting by user equipment.

[0332] Example 3

[0333] This embodiment is an example of data of the first type in step S202, which is the characteristics of the target object described by the user. This embodiment can mainly target six perception modes: base station spontaneous transmission and self-reception, base station A transmission and B reception, base station transmission and user equipment reception, user equipment transmission and base station reception, user equipment spontaneous transmission and self-reception, and user equipment A transmission and user equipment B reception.

[0334] For ease of description, the following example takes the case where both the device receiving the perception signal and the device sending the perception signal are base stations.

[0335] Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of Example 3, Figure 8 The specific process includes:

[0336] 801. A core network element receives a message for requesting to perform a sensing task;

[0337] 802. The core network element sends a message for requesting reporting of sensing capability information to the base station;

[0338] 803. The base station reports the sensing capability information;

[0339] 804. The core network element determines, according to the sensing capability information, a base station that can participate in the sensing task and a type of sensing data that the base station needs to report;

[0340] The above steps 801-804 are similar to steps 501-504 in embodiment 1a, and are not described again here.

[0341] After step 804, if it is one of the four modes: base station sending and receiving, base station A sending and B receiving, base station sending and user equipment receiving, or user equipment sending and base station receiving, then execute steps 805 and 806. If it is one of the two modes: user equipment sending and receiving, and user equipment A sending and user equipment B sending, then after step 804, refer to 605 to 608 of Example 1b.

[0342] 805. The core network element sends a first request message to a base station that can participate in the sensing task;

[0343] The first request message is used to instruct the base station to perform a sensing task and configure sensing resources.

[0344] The information carried by the first request message includes: the QoS requirement of the sensing task or the type of sensing data, and the identifier of the sensing task or the identifier of the corresponding sensing session.

[0345] When the first request message carries the type of perception data, the core network element needs to determine the type of perception data before step 805. Specifically, the core network element can determine the type of perception data based on the QoS requirements of the perception task and / or perception capability information.

[0346] The first request message carries the first constraint.

[0347] When the base station obtains the perception data by estimating the parameters of the target object, the first constraint is the mean square error of the estimated value of the parameter, wherein the parameter includes: distance, speed, angle or position.

[0348] When the base station obtains the sensing data through a target detection algorithm, the first constraint is a threshold of the target detection algorithm, or a threshold detection algorithm. After receiving the threshold, the first device can determine which objects are valid objects, i.e., target objects, according to the threshold, and report these target objects.

[0349] The threshold can be a confidence threshold or an IoU threshold of the target detection algorithm.

[0350] The first request message may also carry: an identifier of the perception task or an identifier of a corresponding perception session.

[0351] 806. The base station configures sensing resources, generates and sends a sensing signal;

[0352] See step 506 in Example 1a.

[0353] 807. The base station sends an indication message to the core network element;

[0354] Since the first type is data used to describe signal characteristics, when the base station sends an indication message to the core network element to indicate that the perception resource configuration is completed, the indication message does not need to carry the configuration information of the perception resource.

[0355] 808. The base station determines the type of the sensing data;

[0356] If the first request message in step 805 does not carry the type of the perception data, the base station can determine the type of the perception data according to the QoS requirements and / or the perception capability information of the perception task. Embodiment 3 takes the first type as data used to describe the characteristics of the target object as an example, that is, after step 808, the base station determines that the type of the perception data is data used to describe the characteristics of the target object, and correspondingly, the first information includes parameters: at least one parameter of the indication information and timestamp information of the target object.

[0357] 809. The base station receives the perception signal, and processes the perception signal according to the first constraint to obtain perception data.

[0358] The processing includes: the base station estimates the parameters of the target object; the base station obtains the perception data through the target detection algorithm.

[0359] 810. The base station sends the first information and the perception data to the core network element;

[0360] The perception data includes: the number of target objects, the state of the target objects, the distance of the target objects, the speed of the target objects, the angle of the target objects or the position of the target objects.

[0361] As mentioned above, the parameters included in the first information are: at least one parameter of the indication information of the target object and the timestamp information.

[0362] 811. The core network element processes the perception data through the first information;

[0363] The core network element fuses the sensed data with other sensed data based on the timestamp information. The core network can determine that the sensed targets are the same target based on the indication information of the target object, which facilitates data fusion.

[0364] 812. The core network element updates the first constraint according to the perception data reported by the base station;

[0365] The core network element updates the first constraint according to the number of the target objects included in the perception data. For example, if the core network element finds that there are too few or no target objects in the reported perception data, it may be because the first constraint is set too strictly. In this case, the standard of the first constraint is lowered. If there are too many target objects in the perception result, the standard of the first constraint can be increased.

[0366] 813. The core network element sends the updated first constraint to the base station.

[0367] The beneficial effect of this embodiment is that the base station or user equipment can report the sensing result data to the core network. Compared with the baseband signal, although the channel information contained is much less, the data volume is greatly reduced, which reduces the pressure of the base station or user equipment to report. At the same time, the indication information of the target object is reported to reduce the calculation amount of the core network data fusion.
