Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communications, and in particular to a communication method, device and system. Background Art

[0002] In the process of the evolution of the fifth generation mobile communication system (5G) to 5G-Advanced (5G-A) technology, communication and perception integration technology is considered to be one of the key technologies that can expand the business capabilities of mobile communication networks. The core idea of ​​this technology is to add perception capabilities to the mobile communication network and build the ability to detect, track and image the target, so that the communication and perception capabilities can be integrated into one network to achieve harmonious coexistence and mutual benefit.

[0003] Perception technology can be divided into two modes, usually single-station perception and dual-station perception. However, no matter which perception mode is used, there is a problem that the perception capabilities cannot be aggregated, resulting in loss of perception performance. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present application provides a communication method that can aggregate perception capabilities and improve perception accuracy.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides a communication method, determining a first perception quantity, the first perception quantity includes at least one first tuple, wherein one of the first tuples includes at least one element, and the element includes delay, distance, azimuth, elevation, intensity, speed or frequency deviation, and the first access network device corresponds to a first radio access technology (Radio Access Technology, RAT); obtaining a second perception quantity from a second access network device, the second perception quantity includes at least one second tuple, wherein the one second tuple includes at least one of the elements, the second access network device corresponds to a second RAT, and the first RAT is different from the second RAT; determining a third perception quantity based on the first perception quantity and the second perception quantity, the third perception quantity includes at least one third tuple, and the third tuple includes at least one of the elements; and sending the third perception quantity to the first core network device.

[0006] The communication method provided in the present application can be applied in a first access network device. The first access network device obtains a third perception quantity through a first perception quantity and a second perception quantity. For example, the first perception quantity includes at least one first tuple, each tuple has one or more elements, and the second perception quantity includes at least one first tuple, each tuple has one or more elements. The first base station can obtain a third tuple based on the first tuple and the second tuple, and the third perception quantity includes multiple third tuples. After the first base station sends the third perception quantity to the first core network device, the first core network device can obtain each third tuple and the elements in each third tuple based on the third perception quantity, and obtain the data required for the first core network device to provide a perception service based on one or more of these elements such as delay, distance, azimuth, pitch angle, intensity, speed or frequency deviation, so as to perform a perception service. In this way, perception capability aggregation can be achieved, and the provided third perception quantity may contain more elements, and the values ​​of the elements may be more accurate, so that the first core network device has a higher perception accuracy in performing perception services.

[0007] In a possible implementation, it also includes: sending the first perception amount to the second access network device. The second access network device receives the first perception amount, and obtains a fourth perception amount based on the perception service of the second core network device according to the first perception amount and the second perception amount. This method can achieve the aggregation of perception amounts through the interaction of perception amounts between base stations, so that the transmission method of perception amounts is more flexible. If a base station fails, other base stations can still achieve perception capability aggregation and provide more accurate perception services to the core network device.

[0071] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solutions in the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments.

[0072] The term "and / or" in this article is merely a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone.

[0073] The terms "first" and "second" in the description and claims of the embodiments of the present application are used to distinguish different objects rather than to describe a specific order of objects. For example, a first target object and a second target object are used to distinguish different target objects rather than to describe a specific order of target objects.

[0074] In the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of the present application should not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0075] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "multiple" refers to two or more than two. For example, multiple processing units refer to two or more processing units; multiple systems refer to two or more systems.

[0076] For ease of understanding, the following first explains the relevant nouns or terms used in the embodiments of the present application:

[0077] 1. Communication (or communication technology)

[0078] It refers to the technology in which the transmitter modulates information onto radio waves and sends it to the receiver, and the receiver demodulates the signal carried on the radio waves to obtain the information.

[0079] 2. Perception (or perception technology)

[0080] It refers to a technology in which the transmitter sends radio waves in a specific direction. When the radio waves hit the target surface, reflected radio waves are formed. The receiver receives and processes the reflected radio waves to obtain information such as the target's location, speed, and type.

[0081] 3. Terminal equipment

[0082] Used to send uplink signals to network devices, or receive downlink signals from network devices. Terminal devices include mobile phones, tablet computers, virtual reality terminal devices, augmented reality terminal devices, wireless terminals in industrial control, etc.

[0083] 4. Network equipment

[0084] Used to receive uplink signals from terminal devices or send downlink signals to terminal devices. The network device can be an LTE network device, a 5G new radio interface (NR) network device, a base station (NodeB), an evolved base station (eNodeB), a base station in a 5G mobile communication system, a next generation mobile communication base station (next generation NodeB, gNB), a base station in a future mobile communication system, or an access node in a Wi-Fi system.

[0085] 5. Core network equipment

[0086] A device that is mainly responsible for maintaining the subscription data of the mobile network and providing functions such as session management, mobility management, policy management, and security authentication for terminal devices.

[0087] 6. Perception accuracy

[0088] It is used to describe the error between the perceived result and the actual result. For example, taking distance perception as an example, through the perception signal, the perceived value obtained is that the distance between the target and the perception device is 6m, while the actual distance between the target and the perception device is 5m. The perception error is 1m, that is, the perception accuracy is 1m.

[0089] 7. Perceived Resolution

[0090] It is used to describe the minimum ability of perception to distinguish two different targets. For example, taking distance perception as an example, the distance resolution is 1m, which means that when the distance between two targets is greater than or equal to 1m, the perception device can distinguish them as two targets, and when the distance between the targets is less than 1m, the perception device cannot distinguish them as two targets.

[0091] The communication and perception integration technology obtained by integrating communication and perception can increase the perception ability on the mobile communication network to realize the perception results such as detection, tracking and imaging of the target through communication technology, transmission and construction. For perception, it includes single-station perception and dual-station perception. Among them, single-station perception means that the sending end and the receiving end of the perception signal are the same network device. From the perspective of the perception signal process, the network device is a perception site. The perception site must send radio waves (also called perception signals) and receive the reflected radio waves reflected by the radio waves on the target surface (also called reflected signals). Therefore, single-station perception is also called self-transmitting and self-receiving mode. Dual-station perception means that the sending end and the receiving end of the perception signal are two different network devices. From the perspective of the perception signal process, if the network device at the sending end is called perception site A and the network device at the receiving end is called perception site B, then after the perception site A sends the perception signal, the signal reflected on the target surface is received by the perception site B. Therefore, the dual-station perception mode is also called A sending B receiving mode. In the embodiment of the present application, the target includes an electromagnetic scatterer or an object. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the network architecture of a communication system provided by an embodiment of the present application. The communication system 100 includes multiple devices, namely a first access network device such as a first base station 10, a second access network device such as a second base station 20, a first terminal device 30, a second terminal device 40 and a target 50. In the communication system 100, the first base station 10, the second base station 20, the first terminal device 30 and the second terminal device 40 can sense the target while communicating. The first base station 10, the second base station 20, the first terminal device 30 and the second terminal device 40 can be single-station sensing or dual-station sensing, and the corresponding configuration is based on the actual situation. The embodiment of the present application is described with a possible example, but is not limited to this. Reference Figure 1, the target 50 may be an object or an electromagnetic scatterer, such as the target 50 may be a device with communication function, or other objects without communication function, such as the target 50 including vehicles, low-altitude drones, pedestrians and other moving or stationary objects. Figure 2 1 is a schematic diagram of a communication perception integrated scenario provided by an embodiment of the present application, the scenario includes a first base station 10, a first terminal device 30, a second terminal device 40 and a target ( Figure 2 The targets in the figure include a vehicle 501, a low-altitude drone 502, a pedestrian 503, a vehicle 504, and a drone 505). Figure 1 Communication and perception in Figure 2 In the scenario, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 For example, the first terminal device 30 sends a perception signal, which is reflected on the low-altitude drone 502. The first base station 10 receives the reflected signal and obtains the perception amount of the low-altitude drone 502. According to the perception amount of the low-altitude drone 502, the first tuple corresponding to the target low-altitude drone 502 can be determined. The first tuple includes at least one element, which is used to characterize the perception amount of the low-altitude drone 502. For example, the elements included in the first tuple can be at least one of delay, distance, azimuth, pitch angle, intensity, speed or frequency deviation, which is equivalent to that the device can obtain the perception result of the low-altitude drone 502 according to each element in the first tuple corresponding to the low-altitude drone 502 to provide perception services, such as obtaining the moving speed or position of the low-altitude drone 502 to provide perception services; the first base station 10 sends a perception signal, which is reflected on the vehicle 501. The second terminal device 40 receives the reflected signal and obtains each element in the first tuple corresponding to the vehicle 501, such as obtaining the moving speed and driving trajectory of the vehicle 501; these two situations are dual-station perception modes. The first base station 10 sends a perception signal, which is reflected by the pedestrian 503. The first base station 10 then receives the reflected signal to obtain the elements in the first tuple corresponding to the pedestrian 503, such as the moving speed and position of the pedestrian 503. This is a single-station perception mode. Similarly, for the vehicle 504 and the drone 505, the first base station 10 also obtains the perception quantity in a single-station mode. Figure 2 The scenario provided is an example. The elements of the first tuple corresponding to the target obtained by the first base station 10, and the perception results such as position and moving speed are all examples and are not limited. The scenario in which the communication perception integration technology can be applied can also include multiple base stations or other network devices. Figure 2 In addition, different base stations and different terminal devices may sense the same target, for example, the second terminal device 40 and the first base station 10 may both send a sensing signal to the vehicle 501 to obtain a tuple corresponding to the vehicle 501 .

[0092] The perception quantity determined by each access network device includes at least one tuple, each tuple includes at least one element, and the element includes delay, distance, azimuth, pitch angle, intensity, speed or frequency deviation. A tuple corresponds to a target, and the target includes an electromagnetic scatterer or an object. For the sake of distinction, in the embodiment of the present application, the tuple determined by the first base station is referred to as the first tuple, and the tuple determined by the second base station is referred to as the second tuple as an example for explanation.

[0093] Assume that the second terminal device 40 is connected to the base station 20, and the first base station 10 senses each element in the first tuple corresponding to the vehicle 501. After the second terminal device 40 senses each element in the tuple corresponding to the vehicle 501, it reports to the second base station 20, and the second base station 20 processes the tuple sent by the second terminal device 40 as the second tuple of the second base station 20. In this scenario, although the first base station 10 and the second base station 20 both obtain the tuple corresponding to the vehicle 501, since the perception amount between the first base station 10 and the second base station 20 cannot be interacted, it is impossible to calculate according to the tuples obtained by the two base stations respectively, and it is impossible to obtain the perception amount composed of tuples with higher perception accuracy and perception resolution, which is equivalent to its perception ability cannot be aggregated and the perception ability is limited. Further, if the first base station 10 and the second base station 20 access different core network devices through different RATs, since the perception amount cannot be interacted between the two core network devices, it is equivalent to the perception amount cannot be interacted between different RATs, resulting in loss of perception performance. In order to solve this problem, a communication method provided in an embodiment of the present application can realize the interaction of perception amount between two RATs. Figure 3 2 is a schematic diagram of a network architecture of a communication system provided in an embodiment of the present application. The communication system 200 includes a first base station 10, a second base station 20, a first core network device 60 and a second core network device 70. Figure 3 , the first base station 10 accesses the first core network device 60 through the first RAT, and the second base station 20 accesses the second core network device 70 through the second RAT, wherein the first RAT is one of LTE, 5G NR, 5G-A and 5G next-generation technology (such as 5.5G, or 6G), the second RAT is one of LTE, 5G NR, 5G-A and 5G next-generation technology (such as 5.5G, or 6G), and the first RAT is different from the second RAT. Figure 3 Taking the case where the first base station 10 and the second base station 20 are respectively deployed at two sensing sites as an example for explanation, the first base station 10 and the second base station 20 may also be deployed at the same site.

[0094] Figure 4 This is one of the flow charts of a communication method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method can be applied in Figure 3 In the communication system 200 shown in FIG. 1 , the first base station 10 performs the following operations: Figure 4 As shown, the method includes: S101 to S104.

[0095] S101. The first base station determines a first perception quantity, where the first perception quantity includes at least one first tuple, wherein each first tuple includes at least one element, and the element includes delay, distance, azimuth, elevation, intensity, speed or frequency deviation, and the first access network device corresponds to the first RAT.

[0096] Optionally, the first base station may perform single-station perception, such as receiving a reflected signal of at least one target by the first base station to determine each first tuple corresponding to each target; the first base station may also perform dual-station perception, such as receiving at least one tuple sent by a terminal device, and also determining it as a first tuple. The first base station may obtain a first perception quantity based on at least one first tuple determined by the base station; or, the first base station may determine a first perception quantity based on at least one first tuple sent by a terminal device; or, the first base station may also determine a first perception quantity based on multiple first tuples obtained by the base station and the terminal device. One example is that the first base station determines the first perception quantity based on a summary of multiple first tuples obtained by the base station and the terminal device.

[0097] by Figure 2 The scenario shown in FIG. 1 exemplarily describes a method for the first base station to determine a first perception quantity. The first perception quantity may include at least one element of a first tuple (also referred to as a perception quantity), referring to Figure 2 In the scenario, the targets include vehicle 501, low-altitude drone 502, pedestrian 503, vehicle 504, and drone 505. The first base station 10 can receive the reflected signals of the targets, namely, low-altitude drone 502, pedestrian 503, vehicle 504, and drone 505, each of which corresponds to a first tuple, and obtains their elements. The second terminal device 40 can receive the reflected signal of the target vehicle 501, the target vehicle 501 corresponds to a first tuple, and obtains at least one element in the first tuple corresponding to the vehicle 501, and sends the first tuple corresponding to the vehicle 501 (including at least one element) to the first base station 10. The first base station 10 obtains at least one element of the first tuple corresponding to the vehicle 501 by receiving the first tuple sent by the second terminal device 40.

[0098] Exemplarily, the elements of each first tuple may be time delay, distance, azimuth, elevation, intensity, speed or frequency deviation, that is, each first tuple includes at least one element of time delay, distance, azimuth, elevation, intensity, speed or frequency deviation. In the example of actual perception, the element may be one of the following: relative time of arrival (RTOA), i.e., the time delay relative to a certain time reference point, where the time reference point may be the moment when the base station (in this example, the first base station) sends the perception signal; A-angle-of-Arrival (AOA), i.e., the azimuth arrival angle of the reflected signal at the base station (in this example, the first base station 10); Z-angle-of-Arrival (AOA), i.e., the elevation arrival angle of the reflected signal at the base station (in this example, the first base station 10); reference signal received power (RSRP), i.e., the signal strength reflected by the scattering point; radial velocity, i.e., the velocity of the scattering point in the direction of the line connecting the scattering point and the base station (in this example, the first base station 10); radial velocity direction, the velocity of the scattering point toward the network device (in this example, including the first base station 10 and the second terminal device 40) or away from the base station (in this example, the first base station 10).

[0099] In combination with the above example, it is assumed that the first base station determines the A-AOA and radial velocity of the low-altitude UAV 502, the radial velocity of the pedestrian 503, the RSRP and radial velocity direction of the vehicle 504, and the RSRP of the UAV 505. The first base station also receives the radial velocity direction and radial velocity of the vehicle 501, then the first perception quantity determined by the first base station is the radial velocity direction and radial velocity of the vehicle 501, the A-AOA and radial velocity of the low-altitude UAV 502, the radial velocity of the pedestrian 503, and the RSRP and radial velocity direction of the vehicle 504. This example is used to illustrate the relationship between the first perception quantity, the first tuple and the elements, without any limitation.

[0100] S102. The first base station obtains a second perception amount from the second base station, where the second perception amount includes at least one second tuple, wherein each second tuple includes at least one element, the second access network device corresponds to a second RAT, and the first RAT is different from the second RAT.

[0101] The second base station may determine the second perception amount by referring to the method for the first base station to determine the first perception amount, which will not be described in detail.

[0102] Optionally, the elements of each second tuple may be delay, distance, azimuth, elevation, intensity, speed or frequency deviation, that is, each second tuple includes at least one element of delay, distance, azimuth, elevation, intensity, speed or frequency deviation. In the example of actual perception, the element may be one of the following: RTOA, that is, the delay relative to a certain time reference point, where the time reference point may be the moment when the base station (in this example, the second base station 20) sends the perception signal; A-AOA, that is, the azimuth arrival angle of the reflected signal at the base station (in this example, the second base station 20); Z-AOA, that is, the elevation arrival angle of the reflected signal at the base station (in this example, the second base station 20); RSRP, that is, the signal strength reflected by the scattering point; radial velocity, that is, the speed of the scattering point in the direction of the line connecting the scattering point and the base station (in this example, the second base station 20); radial velocity direction, that is, the speed of the scattering point toward the network device (in this example, including the second base station 20 and the terminal device connected to the second base station) or away from the base station (in this example, the second base station 20).

[0103] Optionally, the target corresponding to the first tuple and the target corresponding to the second tuple may be the same or different. For example, if the first tuple and the second tuple are the same object, Figure 2 If the pedestrian 503 shown is located at a position where the service cell of the first base station and the service cell of the second base station overlap, then when the second base station perceives the target of the second tuple, it will also take pedestrian 503 as the target to obtain a second tuple, that is, pedestrian 503 corresponds to both a first tuple of the first base station and a second tuple of the second base station. The elements in the first tuple corresponding to pedestrian 503 and the elements in the corresponding second tuple can be the same or different. Optionally, if they are the same, after the first perception amount and the second perception amount are interacted, the first base station can obtain a more accurate perception result.

[0104] S103: The first base station determines a third perception quantity according to the first perception quantity and the second perception quantity, where each third perception quantity includes at least one third tuple.

[0105] Optionally, the first base station may obtain the third perception quantity according to the first perception quantity and the second perception quantity according to the pre-stored perception quantity acquisition method, and the perception quantity acquisition method may include: the corresponding relationship between the first tuple and the target, the corresponding relationship between the second tuple and the target, and the calculation method of averaging the first tuple and the second tuple to obtain the third tuple. For example, if there is a first tuple and a second tuple corresponding to the same target, such as target M, then the elements of the same first tuple and the elements of the second tuple are averaged to obtain the elements of the third tuple corresponding to target M. For example, if in the first perception quantity determined by the first base station, the first tuple corresponding to a target, i.e., a pedestrian 503, is the first tuple 1, the radial velocity of the first tuple 1 is A, and the radial velocity direction is B, and the first tuple corresponding to a target drone 505 is the first tuple 2, and the A-AOA of the first tuple 2 is C; in the second perception quantity obtained by the first base station, the second tuple corresponding to a target, i.e., a pedestrian 503, is the second tuple 1, and the radial velocity of the second tuple 1 is D, the first base station can obtain E by taking the average of A and D, and the first base station can determine according to the pre-stored perception quantity acquisition method that the third tuple corresponding to the target, i.e., the pedestrian 503 is the third tuple 1, the radial velocity of the third tuple 1 is E, and the radial velocity direction is B, and the third tuple corresponding to the target drone 505 is the third tuple 2, and the A-AOA of the third tuple 2 is C.

[0106] The method for obtaining the pre-stored perception quantity can be implemented through a variety of methods. In addition to finding the average as shown in the above example, it can also include weighting elements or tuples to obtain each third tuple in the third perception quantity, which will not be elaborated here.

[0107] S104. The first base station sends a third perception amount to the first core network device.

[0108] The first core network device receives the third perception quantity and can determine the first perception quantity and the second perception quantity according to the third perception quantity. In addition, the same perception quantity acquisition method can be agreed upon in each communicating device. For example, the perception quantity acquisition method includes: the correspondence between the first tuple and the target, the correspondence between the second tuple and the target, and the calculation method of averaging the first tuple and the second tuple to obtain the third tuple.

[0109] The first base station sends the third sensed quantity to the first core network device. After receiving the third sensed quantity, the first core network device also obtains the first sensed quantity and the second sensed quantity according to the same pre-stored sensed quantity acquisition method. For example, the third tuple corresponding to the target pedestrian 503 is the third tuple 1, the radial velocity of the third tuple 1 in the third sensed quantity is E, and the radial velocity direction is B, the third tuple corresponding to the target drone 505 is the third tuple 2, and the A-AOA of the third tuple 2 is C. The first core network device can first determine that the first perception includes the first tuple 1 and the first tuple 2, and the second perception includes the second tuple 1 according to the pre-stored perception acquisition method. Since the specific radial speeds of the first tuple 1 and the second tuple 1 cannot be determined, the radial speed E can be assigned to the radial speeds of the first tuple 1 and the second tuple 1, which is equivalent to optimizing the data; because only the first tuple includes the radial speed direction of the element, therefore, according to the radial speed of the third tuple 1 is E and the radial speed direction is B, it can be determined that the radial speed of the first tuple 1 is E and the radial speed direction is B, and the radial speed of the second tuple 1 is E; and because only the first tuple 2 has A-AOA, it is determined that the A-AOA of the first tuple 2 is C. Then the first perception and the second perception are obtained, the first perception includes the first tuple 1 and the first tuple 2, wherein the radial speed of the first tuple 1 is E and the radial speed direction is B, and the A-AOA of the first tuple 2 is C, and the second perception includes the second tuple 1, wherein the radial speed of the second tuple 1 is E.

[0110] Furthermore, the first core network device may obtain the elements of each first tuple from the first perception quantity according to the needs of the perception service. For example, when the needs of the perception service are to obtain the speed of each target, the first core network may obtain the perception result according to the elements related to the speed in the elements of each third tuple in the third perception quantity. The perception result may include the location, speed, and type of the target.

[0111] Optionally, the first core network device may also send the obtained second perception amount to the second core network device.

[0112] The communication method provided in the embodiment of the present application enables network devices to interact with each other and aggregate perception capabilities. After reporting the perception amount to the core network device, such a perception reporting method can obtain more accurate perception results through more perception amounts according to the perception service requirements of the core network device, so as to improve the perception accuracy of the entire communication network, that is, provide higher perception capabilities.

[0113] Figure 5 This is a second flow chart of a communication method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 This is one of the scenario diagrams of a communication method provided in an embodiment of the present application, combined with Figure 5 and Figure 6The method can be applied to network devices, such as access network devices and core network devices. The access network devices include a first base station and a second base station, and the core network devices include a first core network device and a second core network device. The method includes S201 to S210.

[0114] S201. A first base station accesses a first core network device through a first RAT.

[0115] S202. The second base station accesses the second core network device through the second RAT.

[0116] The first RAT is any one of LTE, 5G NR, 5G-A and 5G next-generation technology (such as 5.5G or 6G), and the second RAT is any one of LTE, 5G NR, 5G-A and 5G next-generation technology (such as 5.5G or 6G), wherein the first RAT and the second RAT are two different wireless access technologies.

[0117] In the LTE system, the terminal device supports simultaneous access to two network devices (such as the first base station and the second base station provided in the embodiment of the present application). This access method is called dual connectivity (DC), in which one network device is the main network device and the other network device is the auxiliary network device. In the process of development and evolution of wireless communication systems, operators will deploy 5G NR systems and LTE systems at the same time, and terminal devices also support simultaneous access to LTE network devices and NR network devices. Because LTE is also called Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access, E-UTRA), this access method is called Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access and New Air Interface Dual Connectivity (E-UTRA NR Dual Connectivity, EN-DC). In EN-DC mode, the LTE network device is the main network device, and the NR network device is the auxiliary network device. With the evolution of the system, the connection method may also include the NR network device as the main network device, the LTE network device as the auxiliary network device, etc., or the terminal device can also access the 5G system and the next generation system of 5G at the same time. The embodiment of the present application is based on Figure 1 The terminal device 30 or terminal device 40 shown, in the dual connection mode of the first RAT and the second RAT, simultaneously accesses the network device of the first RAT (i.e., the first access network device) and the network device of the second RAT (i.e., the second access network device), with the first base station 10 accessing the first core network device and the second base station 20 accessing the second core network device as an example for explanation, wherein the network device of the first RAT may be the first base station 10, and the network device of the second RAT may be the second base station 20.

[0118] Optionally, the first base station 10 and the second base station 20 may be deployed at different sites, or the first base station 10 and the second base station 20 may be deployed at the same site, sharing the same set of hardware devices, or using different hardware devices, etc.

[0119] There is no sequential relationship between S201 and S202. S203 is executed after S201, and S207 is executed after S202.

[0120] S203: The first base station determines a first perception amount.

[0121] Optionally, the first perception quantity includes at least one first tuple, wherein each first tuple includes at least one element, and the element is delay, distance, azimuth, pitch angle, intensity, speed or frequency deviation. For example, the elements of a first tuple include at least one of RTOA, A-AOA, Z-AOA, RSRP, radial velocity and radial velocity direction.

[0122] After S203, execute S207.

[0123] S204: The second base station determines a second perception amount.

[0124] Optionally, the first perception quantity includes at least one second tuple, wherein each second tuple includes at least one element, and the element is delay, distance, azimuth, pitch angle, intensity, speed or frequency deviation. For example, the elements of a second tuple include at least one of RTOA, A-AOA, Z-AOA, RSRP, radial velocity and radial velocity direction.

[0125] S205. The second base station sends a second perception amount to the first base station.

[0126] S206. The first base station receives a second perception amount.

[0127] S207. The first base station determines a third perception amount according to the first perception amount and the second perception amount.

[0128] The method for determining the third perception quantity can refer to the example in S103 and will not be repeated here.

[0129] S208. The first base station reports the third perception amount to the first core network device.

[0130] S209. The first core network device receives the third perception amount, and determines the first perception amount and the second perception amount according to the third perception amount.

[0131] The method of obtaining the first perception quantity and the second perception quantity through the third perception quantity can refer to the example in S104, which will not be repeated here.

[0132] S210. The first core network device sends a second perception amount to the second core network device.

[0133] Optionally, the first core network device may respectively store the requirements of the first core network device and the second core network device for the perception service in advance. After obtaining the second perception amount, the second tuple that meets the requirements of the perception service of the second core network device, or the elements included in the second tuple, may be sent to the second core network device according to the requirements of the perception service of the second core network device to provide the perception service. Alternatively, the obtained second perception amount may be sent to the second core network device, and the second core network device may determine the required second tuple, or the elements included in the second tuple, to provide the perception service according to its requirements of the perception service and the second perception amount. Alternatively, the first core network device may also send the third perception amount to the second core network device, and the second core network device may obtain the second perception amount by referring to the example of the first core network device obtaining the first perception amount and the second perception amount in S104, etc.

[0134] Optionally, the requirements for the perception services of the first core network device and the second core network device may be different, and thus the requirements for the obtained perception results are also different.

[0135] The communication method provided by the embodiment of the present application no longer requires two different RATs to report their respective perception quantities to their respective core network devices, and then the two core network devices use their respective perception quantities to provide perception services separately. Instead, the perception quantities are aggregated by exchanging perception quantities between base stations, and the two core network devices can also send perception quantities to each other to provide perception services, thereby achieving the aggregation of perception capabilities between the devices of the two different RATs, providing more accurate perception quantities, and improving the performance of perception services.

[0136] Figure 7 This is a flow chart of a communication method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 8 This is a second schematic diagram of a communication method provided in an embodiment of the present application, combined with Figure 7 and Figure 8 The method can be applied to network devices, such as access network devices and core network devices. The access network devices include a first base station and a second base station. The core network devices include a first core network device and a second core network device. The method includes: S301 to S308.

[0137] S301. A first base station determines a first perception amount, where the first base station corresponds to a first RAT.

[0138] S302: The second base station determines a second perception amount, where the second base station corresponds to a second RAT.

[0139] There is no sequential relationship between S301 and S302. S303 is executed after S301, and S306 is executed after S302.

[0140] S303: The first base station sends a first perception amount to the second base station.

[0141] S304. The first base station determines a third perception amount according to the first perception amount and the second perception amount.

[0142] This step is performed after S306. The method for determining the third perception quantity can refer to the example in S103, which will not be described in detail here.

[0143] S305. The first base station reports the third perception amount to the first core network device.

[0144] Optionally, the first core network device receives the third perception quantity, and determines the first perception quantity and the second perception quantity based on the third perception quantity. Please refer to the example in S104 and will not be repeated here.

[0145] S306: The second base station sends a second perception amount to the first base station.

[0146] S307. The second base station determines a fourth perception amount according to the first perception amount and the second perception amount.

[0147] The method for determining the fourth perception quantity can refer to the method for determining the third perception quantity in S103, which will not be described in detail here. It should be noted that the fourth perception quantity and the third perception quantity can be the same or different. For example, different pre-stored calculation methods are used to obtain different third perception quantities and fourth perception quantities based on the first perception quantity and the second perception quantity.

[0148] Furthermore, if the requirements for the perception services provided by the second core network device and the first core network device are different, and the calculation methods pre-stored by the first base station and the second base station are different, different third perception quantities and fourth perception quantities are obtained based on the first perception quantity and the second perception quantity. For example, the first core network device only needs to obtain the position of the target. When the first base station obtains the third perception quantity, it calculates the third perception quantity based on the elements related to the position in each tuple. The second core network device needs to obtain the position and speed of the target. When the second base station obtains the fourth perception quantity, it calculates the fourth perception quantity based on the elements related to the position and speed in each tuple.

[0149] S308. The second base station reports the fourth perception amount to the second core network device.

[0150] Optionally, the second core network device receives the fourth perception amount, and determines the second perception result according to the fourth perception amount. The method of obtaining the perception result through the perception amount can refer to the example in S104, which will not be repeated here.

[0151] In the present application embodiment, Figure 8As shown, the first base station 10 and the second base station 20 interact with each other in terms of sensing quantity, and each base station can obtain the first sensing quantity and the second sensing quantity. The first base station then reports the third sensing quantity obtained based on the two sensing quantities to the first core network device 60, and the second base station reports the fourth sensing quantity obtained based on the two sensing quantities to the second core network device 70. In this way, the transmission of sensing quantity is more flexible. If one base station fails, other base stations can still achieve sensing capability aggregation and provide more accurate sensing services to the core network devices.

[0152] Fig. 9 This is a fourth flow chart of a communication method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Fig.10 This is a third scenario diagram of a communication method provided in an embodiment of the present application, combined with Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The method can be applied in network equipment and communication devices, the network equipment includes access network equipment and core network equipment, the access network equipment includes a first base station and a second base station, the core network equipment includes a first core network equipment and a second core network equipment, the method includes: the method includes S401 to S406.

[0153] S401. A first base station determines a first perception amount, where the first base station corresponds to a first RAT.

[0154] S402: A second base station determines a second perception amount, where the second base station corresponds to a second RAT.

[0155] There is no sequential relationship between S401 and S402. S403 is executed after S401, and S404 is executed after S402.

[0156] S403: The first base station sends a first perception amount to the communication device.

[0157] The communication device may be a network element, and in actual use, may be deployed in a certain device, deployed as a certain device alone, or deployed in a communication system in other possible forms, including transceiver functions and processing functions.

[0158] S404: The second base station sends a second perception amount to the communication device.

[0159] S405. The communication device determines a third perception amount and a fourth perception amount according to the first perception amount and the second perception amount.

[0160] The method for determining the third perception quantity and the method for determining the fourth perception quantity can refer to the example in S103 and will not be repeated here.

[0161] Optionally, the communication device may pre-save the demand for perception services of the first core network device and the demand for perception services of the second core network device. Based on the demand for perception services of the first core network device, a third perception quantity is obtained, and based on the demand for perception services of the second core network device, a fourth perception quantity is obtained. If the demand for perception services provided by the second core network device and the first core network device are different, the obtained third perception quantity and fourth perception quantity may be different. If the demand for perception services provided by the second core network device and the first core network device are the same, the calculation method pre-stored in the communication device for the first core network device and the second core network device is the same, and the same third perception quantity and fourth perception quantity may also be obtained based on the first perception quantity and the second perception quantity. The embodiment of the present application does not limit whether the tuples in the third perception quantity and the fourth perception quantity, or the elements in the tuples, are the same.

[0162] S405. The communication device reports the third perception quantity to the first core network device.

[0163] S406. The communication device reports the fourth perception quantity to the second core network device.

[0164] In the embodiment of the present application, a network element, namely a communication device, is added for jointly processing the perception quantities reported by different RATs. Fig.10 As shown, the first base station 10 and the second base station 20 interact with the first core network device 60 and the second core network device 70 through the communication device 80. The communication device 80 can be a network element in the communication network, such as being independent or integrated in other devices. In this way, there is no need to add new functions to the base station. The first base station 10 only needs to send the first perception amount sent to the first core network device to the communication device 80, and the second base station 20 only needs to send the second perception amount sent to the second core network device to the communication device 80. The deployment of the communication device 80 is very flexible and can be deployed according to the needs of the actual scenario. It can more flexibly realize the aggregation of the perception capabilities of two different RATs and improve the perception performance. It does not need to increase the functions of the existing network equipment and core network equipment, and will not increase the cost of the network equipment and core network equipment.

[0165] Fig.11 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first access network device provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Fig.11 As shown, the first access network device, such as the first base station 10 , includes: a processing module 101 , an acquisition module 102 and a sending module 103 .
