Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the technical field of communication perception integration, and specifically to a communication perception method, a communication perception integrated network element, a perception network element and a system. Background Art

[0002] The current communication perception integration system uses base stations as communication perception integration network elements. However, since the deployed base stations are used and the base stations give priority to the processing of communication services, the deployment locations of the base stations usually do not take into account the differences in different perception scenarios. Therefore, the perception results of the base stations as communication perception integration network elements may be inaccurate due to the influence of the low signal-to-noise ratio of the perception signal. In addition, for the communication perception integration system implemented by dual base stations, the accuracy of the perception results may decrease due to the different clock sources used by the dual base stations.

[0060] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present disclosure, the present disclosure is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is understood that the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. The specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present disclosure, rather than to limit the present disclosure. Based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field belong to the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0061] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as “first” and “second” are merely used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.

[0062] Synaesthesia integration refers to the integration of communication and perception functions, so that the communication system has both communication and perception functions. While transmitting information through the wireless channel, it actively recognizes and analyzes the characteristics of the channel to perceive the physical characteristics of the surrounding environment, so that the communication and perception functions enhance each other. For example, using base station signals to perceive the surrounding environment information and design communication links can avoid some obstacles and improve communication performance.

[0063] In the prior art synaesthesia integration system, the subject of perception can be a base station or a terminal. Depending on the different network elements for transmitting and receiving the perception signal, the specific implementation methods include the following 1 to 6:

[0064] 1. The base station sends and receives by itself; 2. Base station A sends and base station B receives; 3. The base station sends and the terminal receives; 4. The terminal sends and receives by itself; 5. Terminal A sends and terminal B receives; 6. The terminal sends and the base station receives.

[0065] Based on the location of the sensing transmitting and receiving antennas, the synaesthesia integration system can be divided into a single-base synaesthesia integration system and a dual-base (or multi-base) synaesthesia integration system. A single-base synaesthesia integration system refers to a synaesthesia integration system composed of antennas at the same location in space for transmission and reception. A dual-base (or multi-base) synaesthesia integration system refers to a synaesthesia integration system composed of antennas at different locations in space for transmission and reception. The perception of the single-base synaesthesia integration system is performed by one network element (such as methods 1 and 4), which is similar to the traditional single-base radar. The perception of the dual-base synaesthesia integration system is performed by two network elements (such as methods 2, 3, 5 and 6).

[0066] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a single-base synaesthesia integrated system in the prior art. Figure 1In the example, the sensing transmitting and receiving antennas are located in the same base station A, and the single base station A realizes inter-sensing integration, that is, base station A has not only the communication function but also the sensing function. The sensing process of base station A is as follows: base station A sends the sensing signal through the sensing transmitting antenna, and the echo signal reflected by the sensing target (such as a vehicle) is received by the sensing receiving antenna of base station A.

[0067] There are currently three ways to implement the single-base synaesthesia integration system: (1) to (3):

[0068] (1) Perception uses frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW), which does not require full-duplex support. Because FMCW is different from the OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) waveform in existing communication systems, frequency isolation is required, resulting in a decrease in the utilization of spectrum resources.

[0069] (2) Perception Figure 1 The base station A) in the system isolates the sensing transceiver antenna hardware. This method does not require full-duplex support, but the hardware isolation of the sensing transceiver antenna in one device (base station A) has high requirements on hardware cost and volume.

[0070] (3) When full-duplex technology is used, there is a self-interference problem.

[0071] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a dual-base synaesthesia integrated system in the prior art. Figure 2 In the example, the sensing transmitting antenna is located at base station B, and the sensing receiving antenna is located at base station C. Base station B and base station C jointly realize interaceptive integration. The sensing process is as follows: base station B sends a sensing signal through the sensing transmitting antenna, and the echo signal reflected by the sensed target (such as a vehicle) is received by the sensing receiving antenna of base station C.

[0072] Since the sensing transmitting and receiving antennas of the dual-base synaesthesia integrated system are separated in space, in order to normalize the sensing data, two approaches are used. First, base station B sends a dedicated sensing signal with pre-agreed content for base station C to receive and process with the sensing algorithm. This method requires the sensing pilot signal, that is, dedicated time-frequency resources, to be used for the sensing signal, which will increase the sensing signal overhead and reduce the performance of the synaesthesia integrated communication function. Second, base station B can also use the communication signal as a sensing signal. After receiving the communication signal, base station C decodes the communication signal to obtain the communication data of base station B and then processes the sensing algorithm. If base station C decodes the communication signal incorrectly (for example, decoding error in an environment with a low signal-to-noise ratio), the sensing performance will be deteriorated.

[0073] Figure 3A flow chart of a communication perception method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure is provided, and the communication perception method is applied to a communication perception integrated network element, that is, the communication perception integrated network element is the execution subject of the communication perception method. Among them, the communication perception integrated network element is implemented by a transmission reception point (Transmission Reception Point, TRP), and TRP is equivalent to a traditional base station. However, in some cases, a cell may be covered by more than one TRP, but by multiple TRPs, thereby increasing the coverage radius of the cell and greatly reducing the continuous switching of the terminal (User Equipment, UE) on the cell.

[0074] Based on multiple TRPs jointly covering a cell to replace the traditional single base station covering a cell, this embodiment uses two TRPs (a communication perception integrated network element and a perception network element used only for perception) to jointly realize a single-base interaceptive integration system. The communication perception integrated network element can realize both communication transceiver functions and perception transceiver functions; the perception network element realizes the perception transceiver function without traditional communication services, so the perception network element can be lightweight in design, which can save equipment costs, reduce equipment size, and is easy to deploy and install. The transmission power of the perception network element is not required to be too high, and the terminal transmission power design can be referred to, which is also conducive to the lightweight design of the perception network element.

[0075] Since the communication perception integrated network element and the perception network element are implemented using different TRPs, the single-base synaesthesia integrated system implemented in this embodiment, the perception transceiver antenna can be implemented in two TRPs respectively, which can solve the problem of the traditional single-base synaesthesia integrated system in one device (such as Figure 1 The hardware isolation of the sensing transceiver antennas in the base station A) has high requirements on hardware cost and volume; it also has the advantage of synchronization. The reason is that: since both the communication and perception integrated network elements and the perception network elements use TRP, the same clock source can be used to synchronize the clocks between the communication and perception integrated network elements and the perception network elements, thereby improving perception accuracy.

[0076] In this embodiment, perception network elements are pre-deployed in the area to be perceived according to perception requirements. Different areas to be perceived have different perception requirements, so the deployment of perception network elements is different, thereby achieving flexible deployment of perception network elements.

[0077] For example, first determine the location of the area to be sensed and the area of ​​the area to be sensed; then deploy the sensing network element in the area to be sensed according to the location of the area to be sensed and the sensing requirements (such as the sensing service performance requirements), wherein the sensing service performance requirements determine the bandwidth support capability of the deployed sensing network element, the sensing service support capabilities such as ranging, speed measurement, and imaging, the sensing transceiver capability, etc. After the sensing network element is deployed, the sensing network element can report the capability to the communication sensing integrated network element, wherein the capability includes: bandwidth support capability, sensing service support capabilities such as ranging, speed measurement, and imaging, the sensing transceiver capability, etc.

[0078] like Figure 3 As shown, the communication perception method may include but is not limited to steps 301 to 303:

[0079] In step 301, the communication-sensing integrated network element determines the sensing transceiver configuration information of the sensing network element, wherein the sensing transceiver configuration information includes: a sensing transceiver mode and a sensing transceiver time slot.

[0080] In this embodiment, the communication-sensing integrated network element performs sensing transceiver configuration on the sensing network element to obtain sensing transceiver configuration information of the sensing network element. The sensing transceiver configuration includes sensing transceiver mode configuration and sensing transceiver time slot configuration.

[0081] The perception sending and receiving mode configuration is used to configure the role of the perception network element as a perception sender or a perception receiver. If the perception sending and receiving mode is configured as the perception sending mode, it means that the role of the perception network element is a perception sender. If the perception sending and receiving mode is configured as the perception receiving mode, it means that the role of the perception network element is a perception receiver.

[0082] The perception transmission and reception time slot configuration is used to configure the perception transmission and reception timing of the perception network element. The perception network element sends the perception signal or perception data in the perception transmission time slot according to the role of the perception network element. The perception data is the data generated by the perception of the perceived target, including: the final perception result (the distance and speed of the target, etc.), the intermediate perception result (the point cloud information generated by the perception result), the preliminary perception result (delay spread spectrum, Doppler spectrum and other information) and the original perception result (I / Q stream of the original signal). The perception network element receives the echo signal or perception signal of the perception signal in the perception reception time slot. The detailed process of the perception transmission and reception of the perception network element is described below.

[0083] In step 302, the communication and perception integrated network element sends the perception transceiver configuration information to the perception network element;

[0084] In this embodiment, after determining the perception transceiver configuration information of the perception network element, the communication perception integrated network element sends the perception transceiver configuration information to the perception network element. The perception network element can determine its own role based on the perception transceiver mode in the received perception transceiver configuration information and determine the actual perception transceiver based on the perception transceiver time slot.

[0085] In some embodiments, the communication-sensing integrated network element sends the sensing transceiver configuration information to the sensing network element in a downlink communication time slot by wired or wireless means. In this embodiment, after the sensing network element is pre-deployed in the area to be sensed, the communication-sensing integrated network element and the sensing network element can be connected by laying an optical fiber, so that the communication-sensing integrated network element sends the sensing transceiver configuration information to the sensing network element through the optical fiber in the downlink communication time slot. Alternatively, the communication-sensing integrated network element sends the sensing transceiver configuration information to the sensing network element through the air interface in the downlink communication time slot.

[0086] In step 303, if the sensing transceiver mode of the sensing network element is the receiving mode, the communication sensing integrated network element sends a sensing signal, wherein the echo signal of the sensing signal is received by the sensing network element in the sensing receiving time slot in the sensing transceiver time slot.

[0087] In this embodiment, if the sensing transceiver mode of the sensing network element is the receiving mode, it means that the role of the sensing network element is the sensing receiver, and accordingly, the role of the communication sensing integrated network element is the sensing sender, then the communication sensing integrated network element sends a sensing signal, and the echo signal reflected by the sensing target is received by the sensing network element, specifically, the sensing network element receives the echo signal of the sensing signal in the sensing receiving time slot in the sensing transceiver time slot. In some embodiments, if there is no obstruction between the communication sensing integrated network element and the sensing network element, the sensing network element can receive the sensing signal in addition to receiving the echo signal of the sensing signal.

[0088] It can be seen that in the above embodiments, two TRPs (communication perception integrated network element and perception network element used only for perception) are used to jointly realize a single-base synaesthesia integrated system. Compared with a fixedly deployed single-base synaesthesia integrated system, this embodiment deploys a perception network element in the area to be perceived, so that the distance between the perception network element and the perceived target is reduced, and the interference and attenuation of signal transmission are reduced, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of perception reception, and further improving the processing accuracy of the perception service. In addition, the communication perception integrated network element can realize both the communication transceiver function and the perception transceiver function; the perception network element realizes the perception transceiver function without performing traditional communication services, so the perception network element can be lightweight in design, which can save equipment costs, reduce equipment size, and be easy to deploy and install. The transmission power of the perception network element is not required to be too high, and the terminal transmission power design can be referred to, which is also conducive to the lightweight design of the perception network element. In addition, since the communication perception integrated network element and the perception network element are implemented using different TRPs, the single-base synaesthesia integrated system implemented in this embodiment, the perception transceiver antenna can be implemented in two TRPs respectively, which can solve the problem of the traditional single-base synaesthesia integrated system in one device (such as Figure 1 The hardware isolation of the sensing transceiver antennas in the base station A) has high requirements on hardware cost and volume; it also has the advantage of synchronization. The reason is that: since both the communication and perception integrated network elements and the perception network elements use TRP, the same clock source can be used to synchronize the clocks between the communication and perception integrated network elements and the perception network elements, thereby improving perception accuracy.

[0089] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the perception transmission and reception configuration information of the perception network element also includes: configuration information of the perception signal. This configuration information can make the perception network element know how to configure the perception signal. When the perception network element acts as a perception transmitter, it can generate a perception signal based on the configuration information of the perception signal and send the perception signal; when the perception network element acts as a perception receiver, it can perform target perception based on the configuration information of the perception signal and the echo signal reflected by the perceived target, and generate perception data, which includes the position, type (car or person, or other types of obstacles), moving speed and other data related to the perceived target.

[0090] Figure 3 The communication sensing method shown also includes the following steps:

[0091] If the perception transceiver mode of the perception network element is a receiving mode, the communication perception integrated network element receives perception data, wherein the perception data is perception data generated by the perception network element based on the configuration information of the perception signal and the echo signal of the perception signal, and the perception data is perception data sent by the perception network element in the perception sending time slot in the perception transceiver time slot.

[0092] In this embodiment, if the sensing transceiver mode of the sensing network element is the receiving mode, then after receiving the echo signal of the sensing signal, the sensing network element can perform target sensing based on the echo signal and the configuration information of the sensing signal in the sensing transceiver configuration information, and generate sensing data of the sensed target, wherein the sensing data includes the position, type (car or person, or other types of obstacles), moving speed and other data related to the sensed target. Among them, the process of target sensing belongs to conventional means in the field of sensing technology, and will not be described in detail.

[0093] After generating the perception data, the perception network element sends the perception data in the perception sending time slot of the perception network element. The communication perception integrated network element receives the perception data sent by the perception network element, and uses the perception data to process the perception service, such as using the perception data to avoid obstacles.

[0094] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 3 The communication sensing method shown also includes the following steps:

[0095] If the perception transceiver mode of the perception network element is the transmission mode, the communication perception integrated network element receives the echo signal of the perception signal, wherein the perception signal is the perception signal sent by the perception network element in the perception transmission time slot in the perception transceiver time slot.

[0096] In this embodiment, if the perception transceiver mode of the perception network element is the sending mode, it means that the role of the perception network element is the perception sender. Correspondingly, the role of the communication perception integrated network element is the perception receiver. The perception network element sends a perception signal in the perception sending time slot in the perception transceiver time slot, and the echo signal reflected by the perceived target is received by the communication perception integrated network element.

[0097] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 3 The communication sensing method shown also includes the following steps:

[0098] If the perception transceiver mode of the perception network element is the sending mode, the communication perception integrated network element generates perception data based on the echo signal of the perception signal and the configuration information of the perception signal.

[0099] In this embodiment, if the perception transceiver mode of the perception network element is the sending mode, after the communication perception integrated network element receives the echo signal of the perception signal sent by the perception network element, the communication perception integrated network element can perform target perception based on the echo signal and the perception signal, and generate perception data of the perceived target, wherein the communication perception integrated network element knows the perception signal in advance, and therefore can directly use the perception signal and the echo signal for target perception.

[0100] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 3 The communication sensing method shown also includes the following steps:

[0101] The communication-awareness integrated network element configures the communication-awareness integrated network element's perception reception time slot and perception transmission time slot; wherein, the perception reception time slot of the communication-awareness integrated network element is delayed compared with the perception transmission time slot of the perception network element; and the perception reception time slot of the perception network element is delayed compared with the perception transmission time slot of the communication-awareness integrated network element.

[0102] In this embodiment, the communication-perception integrated network element not only configures the perception sending and receiving time slots of the perception network element, but also configures its own perception sending and receiving time slots, so as to achieve clock synchronization between the communication-perception integrated network element and the perception network element, and improve the perception accuracy. Specifically, the perception receiving time slot configured by the communication-perception integrated network element itself is delayed compared with the perception sending time slot of the perception network element; the perception receiving time slot configured by the communication-perception integrated network element for the perception network element is delayed compared with the perception sending time slot of the communication-perception integrated network element. Among them, the delay is determined based on the distance between the communication-perception integrated network element and the perception network element.

[0103] For example, Figure 4 A schematic diagram of a sensing transmission and reception time slot configuration provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. In this embodiment, the sensing network element is deployed at the edge of a cell. Figure 4 In the figure, D represents the downlink time slot, U represents the uplink time slot, S represents perception, GP (Guard Period) is the protection time slot, and the length of GP is 2r / c, where r is the cell radius and c is the speed of light. In this embodiment, the perception receiving time slot of the perception network element is the downlink time slot D(S), and the perception sending time slot of the perception network element is the uplink time slot U(S); the perception receiving time slot of the communication perception integrated network element is the uplink time slot U(S), and the perception sending time slot of the communication perception integrated network element is the downlink time slot D(S). In the prior art, TRP is equivalent to a traditional base station. The present application improves the time slot configuration of TRP. Specifically, the perception network element is implemented using TRP, and the perception transceiver time slot configuration of the perception network element is made the same as the transceiver time slot configuration of the UE, which is conducive to the lightweight design of the perception TRP.

[0104] exist Figure 4In the example, the perception receiving time slot of the communication perception integrated network element is delayed compared with the perception sending time slot of the perception network element; the perception receiving time slot of the perception network element is delayed compared with the perception sending time slot of the communication perception integrated network element. Since the perception network element is deployed at the edge of the cell, there is no protection time slot between the perception receiving time slot and the perception sending time slot of the perception network element. If the perception network element is deployed inside the cell, the delay is determined based on the distance between the communication perception integrated network element and the perception network element, and there will also be a protection time slot between the perception receiving time slot and the perception sending time slot of the perception network element. The length of the protection time slot is also determined based on the distance between the communication perception integrated network element and the perception network element. The detailed process of configuring the perception receiving and sending time slots of the communication perception integrated network element and the perception receiving and sending time slots of the perception network element refers to the process of standard time slot configuration and will not be repeated.

[0105] On the basis of the above embodiments, the communication-sensing integrated network element has not only the sensing capability but also the communication capability. The communication-sensing integrated network element exchanges communication signals with the communication terminal (such as UE) in the downlink communication time slot and / or the uplink communication time slot. It can be seen that the communication-sensing integrated network element can realize the integration of interoception.

[0106] Figure 5 A flow chart of another communication perception method provided for an embodiment of the present disclosure, the communication perception method is applied to a perception network element, that is, the perception network element is the executor of the communication perception method. The perception network element is implemented using TRP. The perception network element implements the perception transceiver function and does not need to perform traditional communication services. Therefore, the perception network element can be lightweight in design, which can save equipment costs, reduce equipment size, and facilitate deployment and installation. The transmission power of the perception network element is not required to be too high, and the design can refer to the terminal transmission power, which is also conducive to the lightweight design of the perception network element.

[0107] The sensing network elements are pre-deployed in the areas to be sensed. The sensing requirements of different areas to be sensed are different. Therefore, the deployment of sensing network elements is different. The following examples illustrate how to deploy sensing network elements in different scenarios:

[0108] Smart factory scenario: To locate and track the automated guided vehicles (AGVs), personnel or intelligent entities in smart factories, the sensing network elements can be deployed near special areas such as the travel paths of AGVs, personnel or intelligent entities. When encountering obstacles, leaving the safe track, exceeding the safe distance, entering the dangerous area, etc., alarm information can be issued in time to report the target location.

[0109] Drone scenario: Monitoring of drone intrusion in specific airspaces and monitoring of ships intruding in specific sea areas. When someone intrudes, an alarm message will be issued, and the intrusion target needs to be located and tracked, and the location of the intrusion target needs to be reported. In this case, the sensing network element can be deployed near the specific airspace and sea area.

[0110] High-speed rail surrounding scene: High-speed rail surrounding environment monitoring currently also has a high degree of communication and perception application space scene. Due to the large scope of high-speed rail, the deployment of traditional cameras along the entire line will face the problem of huge costs and impossibility of deployment. In this case, the interawareness fusion network based on wireless communication can do this job well. It is necessary to monitor the intrusion around the high-speed rail and report the location of the intrusion target. At this time, the perception network element can be deployed near the track.

[0111] Internet of Vehicles scenario: For accident-prone sections of road, perception network elements are deployed to monitor road conditions. When pedestrians intrude, vehicles deviate from the safe track, vehicles exceed the speed limit, obstacles appear on the road, etc., alarm information is issued and the target location is reported.

[0112] After the perception network element is deployed, the perception network element can report its capabilities to the communication perception integrated network element. The capabilities include: bandwidth support capabilities, perception service support capabilities such as ranging, speed measurement, imaging, and perception receiving and sending capabilities.

[0113] like Figure 5 As shown, the communication perception method includes but is not limited to the following steps 501 and 502:

[0114] In step 501, the perception network element receives perception transceiver configuration information sent by the communication perception integrated network element, wherein the perception transceiver configuration information includes: a perception transceiver mode and a perception transceiver time slot.

[0115] In this embodiment, the perception network element determines the role of the perception network element as a perception receiver based on the perception that the transceiver mode is a receiving mode; the perception network element determines the role of the perception network element as a perception sender based on the perception that the transceiver mode is a sending mode.

[0116] In this embodiment, the sensing network element sends a sensing signal or sensing data according to the role of the sensing network element in the sensing sending time slot, wherein the sensing data is data generated by sensing the sensed target; the sensing network element receives an echo signal of the sensing signal or the sensing signal in the sensing receiving time slot. The detailed process of sensing transmission and reception of the sensing network element is described below.

[0117] In step 502, if the sensing transceiver mode of the sensing network element is the receiving mode, the sensing network element receives an echo signal of a sensing signal in a sensing receiving time slot in a sensing transceiver time slot, wherein the sensing signal is a sensing signal sent by the communication sensing integrated network element.

[0118] In this embodiment, if the sensing transceiver mode of the sensing network element is the receiving mode, it means that the role of the sensing network element is the sensing receiver, and accordingly, the role of the communication sensing integrated network element is the sensing sender, then the communication sensing integrated network element sends a sensing signal, and the sensing network element receives the echo signal of the sensing signal reflected by the sensing target in the sensing receiving time slot in the sensing transceiver time slot. In some embodiments, if there is no obstruction between the communication sensing integrated network element and the sensing network element, the sensing network element can receive the sensing signal in addition to receiving the echo signal of the sensing signal.

[0119] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the perception transmission and reception configuration information of the perception network element also includes: configuration information of the perception signal. This configuration information can make the perception network element know how to configure the perception signal. When the perception network element acts as a perception transmitter, it can generate a perception signal based on the configuration information of the perception signal and send the perception signal; when the perception network element acts as a perception receiver, it can perform target perception based on the configuration information of the perception signal and the echo signal reflected by the perceived target, and generate perception data, which includes the position, type (car or person, or other types of obstacles), moving speed and other data related to the perceived target.

[0120] Figure 5 The communication-aware method shown also includes:

[0121] If the perception transceiver mode of the perception network element is the receiving mode, the perception network element generates perception data based on the configuration information of the perception signal and the echo signal of the perception signal, and sends the perception data in the perception sending time slot in the perception transceiver time slot, wherein the perception data is received by the communication perception integrated network element.

[0122] In this embodiment, if the sensing transceiver mode of the sensing network element is the receiving mode, then after receiving the echo signal of the sensing signal, the sensing network element can perform target sensing based on the echo signal and the configuration information of the sensing signal in the sensing transceiver configuration information, and generate sensing data of the sensed target, wherein the sensing data includes the position, type (car or person, or other types of obstacles), moving speed and other data related to the sensed target. Among them, the process of target sensing belongs to conventional means in the field of sensing technology, and will not be described in detail.

[0123] After generating the perception data, the perception network element sends the perception data in the perception sending time slot of the perception network element. The communication perception integrated network element receives the perception data sent by the perception network element, and uses the perception data to process the perception service, such as using the perception data to avoid obstacles.

[0124] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 5 The communication sensing method shown also includes the following steps:

[0125] If the perception transceiver mode of the perception network element is the transmission mode, the perception network element transmits a perception signal in a perception transmission time slot in the perception transceiver time slot, wherein an echo signal of the perception signal is received by the communication perception integrated network element.

[0126] In this embodiment, if the perception transceiver mode of the perception network element is the sending mode, it means that the role of the perception network element is the perception sender. Correspondingly, the role of the communication perception integrated network element is the perception receiver. The perception network element sends a perception signal in the perception sending time slot in the perception transceiver time slot, and the echo signal reflected by the perceived target is received by the communication perception integrated network element.

[0127] Based on the above embodiments, the perception receiving time slot of the perception network element is delayed compared with the perception sending time slot of the communication perception integrated network element; the perception receiving time slot of the communication perception integrated network element is delayed compared with the perception sending time slot of the perception network element.

[0128] In this embodiment, the communication-perception integrated network element not only configures the perception sending and receiving time slots of the perception network element, but also configures its own perception sending and receiving time slots, so as to achieve clock synchronization between the communication-perception integrated network element and the perception network element, and improve the perception accuracy. Specifically, the perception receiving time slot configured by the communication-perception integrated network element itself is delayed compared with the perception sending time slot of the perception network element; the perception receiving time slot configured by the communication-perception integrated network element for the perception network element is delayed compared with the perception sending time slot of the communication-perception integrated network element. Among them, the delay is determined based on the distance between the communication-perception integrated network element and the perception network element.

[0129] Based on the above embodiments, the perception receiving time slot of the perception network element is a downlink time slot, and the perception sending time slot of the perception network element is an uplink time slot; the perception receiving time slot of the communication perception integrated network element is an uplink time slot, and the perception sending time slot of the communication perception integrated network element is a downlink time slot.

[0130] In this embodiment, the perception network element is implemented using TRP. In the prior art, TRP is equivalent to a traditional base station. This application improves the time slot configuration of TRP. Specifically, the perception transceiver time slot configuration of the perception network element is made the same as the transceiver time slot configuration of the UE, which is conducive to the lightweight design of the perception TRP.

[0131] Based on the above embodiment, the perception network element receives the perception transceiver configuration information sent by the communication perception integrated network element, including: the perception network element receives the perception transceiver configuration information sent by the communication perception integrated network element in the downlink communication time slot via wired or wireless means.

[0132] In this embodiment, after the perception network element is pre-deployed in the area to be perceived, the communication perception integrated network element and the perception network element can be connected by laying an optical fiber, so that the communication perception integrated network element sends the perception transceiver configuration information to the perception network element through the optical fiber in the downlink communication time slot. Alternatively, the communication perception integrated network element sends the perception transceiver configuration information to the perception network element through the air interface in the downlink communication time slot.

The sensing target reflects the echo signal of the sensing signal. The sensing network element sends the sensing signal in the sensing receiving time slot (e.g. Figure 4 The sensing network element receives the echo signal of the sensing signal in the sensing receiving time slot D(S) of the sensing network element. The sensing network element senses the target based on the echo signal and the configuration information of the sensing signal and generates sensing data. Figure 4 The communication sensing integrated network element sends the sensing data in the sensing receiving time slot (e.g. Figure 4 The perception receiving time slot U(S) of the integrated communication and perception network element receives the perception data, and then uses the perception data to process the perception service, such as using the perception data to avoid obstacles. In addition, in this scenario, the integrated communication and perception network element exchanges communication signals with the communication terminal (such as UE) in the downlink communication time slot and / or uplink communication time slot to realize the processing of communication services.

[0134] Figure 7 It is a schematic diagram of another synaesthesia integration scene disclosed in the embodiment of the present disclosure, in Figure 7 In this scenario, the communication and perception integrated network element acts as the perception receiver, and the perception network element acts as the perception sender. The process of implementing the perception service in this scenario is as follows: the perception network element sends the perception information in the perception sending time slot of the perception network element (for example Figure 4 The sensing network element sends the sensing signal in the sensing sending time slot U(S) of the sensing network element. The sensing target reflects the echo signal of the sensing signal. The communication sensing integrated network element sends the sensing signal in the sensing receiving time slot (e.g. Figure 4The sensing receiving time slot U(S) of the integrated communication and sensing network element receives the echo signal of the sensing signal. The integrated communication and sensing network element senses the target based on the echo signal and the configuration information of the sensing signal, generates sensing data, and then uses the sensing data to process the sensing service, such as using the sensing data to avoid obstacles. In addition, in this scenario, the integrated communication and sensing network element exchanges communication signals with the communication terminal (such as UE) in the downlink communication time slot and / or uplink communication time slot to realize the processing of communication services.
