Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, and in particular, to a sensing-assisted communication method, an electronic device, and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] With the booming development of global communication technologies, human society is stepping into a brand-new information era. In this process, communication networks are no longer just simple channels for data transmission, but are leaping forward towards the direction of intelligence and multi-functionality. In addition to continuously pursuing higher speeds and lower latencies to meet people's demands for extreme performance, emerging business fields such as digital twins, low-altitude economy, and autonomous driving are gradually emerging. These innovative applications require communication networks not only to achieve efficient information transmission, but also to possess the ability to sense the physical world.

[0003] Currently, with the exploration and application of millimeter-wave frequency bands, the breakthrough of large-bandwidth technologies, and the integration of multi-antenna technologies, communication systems have demonstrated preliminary sensing capabilities from both the spectrum resource and technology implementation levels. This means that communication networks are no longer limited to traditional transmission functions. They begin to utilize their extensive coverage and huge data-carrying capacity to become a bridge connecting the real and virtual worlds. For example, in an intelligent transportation system, the communication network can significantly improve road usage efficiency and driving safety by real-time monitoring traffic flow and environmental changes; under the framework of an intelligent city, it can also assist in the refined operation of urban management and public services, promoting the efficient allocation of resources.

[0004] In addition to assisting vertical industries and end-users, sensing-assisted communication is also a key innovation area in the future evolution of network architectures. Sensing-assisted communication not only revolutionizes the way of information transmission, but also optimizes the entire communication process, significantly reducing operating costs and resource consumption. Through precise environmental sensing and data analysis, the network can adjust signal transmission strategies in real-time to avoid unnecessary energy waste. In sensing-assisted communication, the Radio Access Network (RAN) needs to be able to optimize the scheduling of wireless resources according to environmental information. However, if the RAN collects and analyzes a large amount of environmental data, it faces data security and privacy issues. Therefore, how to enable the RAN to obtain and utilize sensing data more efficiently and securely has become the focus of research. Summary of the Invention

[0033] It should be understood that the specific implementation described herein is only used to explain the present application and is not used to limit the present application.

[0034] In the following description, suffixes such as "module", "component", or "unit" used to represent elements are only for the convenience of explaining the present application, and they have no specific meaning in themselves. Therefore, "module", "component", or "unit" can be used interchangeably.

[0035] In a mobile communication system, radio access network nodes (RAN nodes) and terminals (UEs) are responsible for measuring the radio environment and uploading the sensed data to the sensed data collection function. As Figure 1 shown, the sensing function is a general term related to the sensing function and includes at least one of the following functions: sensed data collection, sensed data analysis, opening of sensing capabilities to the RAN, and opening of sensing capabilities to third-party applications. These functions exist independently or jointly in a service-based architecture. Exemplarily, the opening of sensing capabilities to the RAN and the opening of sensing capabilities to third-party applications are implemented in one logical function. In addition, these logical functions can be deployed in the core network or outside the core network. The UE and the RAN node perform measurement work and transfer the sensed data to the sensed data collection function.

[0036] The sensed data obtained by the UE or the RAN node through the radio signals defined by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) is called 3GPP sensed data, and the sensed data obtained by other means (such as radar, camera, infrared, WLAN, satellite remote sensing, etc.) is collectively called non-3GPP sensed data. The non-3GPP sensed data can also be aggregated at the sensed data collection function.

[0037] The sensed data collection function is responsible for collecting the 3GPP sensed data of the RAN node and the UE and the non-3GPP sensed data obtained by other means.

[0038] The sensed data analysis module processes the collected sensed data, including the processing of the sensed data of a single node (UE or RAN node), and also includes the joint processing of the sensed data of multiple nodes. The sensed data analysis module obtains the sensing capabilities for the RAN or third-party applications and opens them to the RAN node or third-party applications through the sensing capabilities opening module to the RAN or the sensing capabilities opening module to third-party applications respectively.

[0039] Furthermore, the sensed data collection and the opening of sensing to the RAN are implemented through different interfaces or protocols, as Figure 2 shown. In Figure 2Among them, the interface between the RAN node and the sensing data collection function and the interface between the RAN node and the sensing capability open to the RAN are independent. Exemplarily, the interface between the RAN node and the sensing data collection function is transmitted through the User Plane, and the interface between the RAN node and the sensing capability open to the RAN is transmitted through the Control Plane.

[0040] Furthermore, referring to Figure 3 , there are multiple functions that need to be opened to the RAN node, such as positioning, AI, sensing, service capabilities, etc. The opening of these capabilities is all concentrated through one function to open to the RAN node. In the embodiments of the present application, the function of opening capabilities to the RAN is called the network capabilities open to the RAN.

[0041] Furthermore, referring to Figure 4 , there is a network capabilities acquisition function in the RAN node. This function acquires network capabilities (positioning, AI, sensing, service capabilities, etc.) from the network capabilities open to the RAN function, and the RAN node optimizes communication, sensing, positioning, etc. according to the acquired network capabilities.

[0042] In the embodiments of the present application, wireless sensing or other sensing methods (radar, camera, etc.) monitor the environment within the coverage of the RAN node, and environmental characteristics can be obtained. The objects in the environment are divided into dynamic objects and static objects. Static objects refer to objects such as buildings, terrain, billboards, trees, etc. in the environment. These objects do not change for a long time. Dynamic objects refer to objects such as moving people, vehicles, animals, etc. in the environment. These objects are temporarily moved to this area and change in a short time. Static characteristics refer to a series of measurable and relatively stable characteristics or attributes generated by static objects (such as buildings, terrain, etc.) on the wireless electromagnetic waves transmitted between wireless devices in the wireless communication environment. Dynamic characteristics refer to a series of measurable but dynamic attributes or characteristics generated by dynamic objects (such as people, vehicles, etc.) on the wireless electromagnetic waves transmitted between wireless devices in the wireless communication environment.

[0043] Specifically, in the embodiments of the present application, the transmission between wireless devices includes wireless transmission methods such as the base station transmitting and receiving by itself, the base station transmitting and the UE receiving, the UE transmitting and the base station receiving, the base stations transmitting and receiving each other, the UE transmitting and receiving by itself, and the UEs transmitting and receiving each other.

[0044] The RAN node or the UE reports the measured 3GPP sensing data to the sensing data collection function. The sensing data analysis function uses the sensing data measured by one or more RAN nodes or UEs to identify the static objects (such as buildings, terrain, trees, etc.) existing in the environment.

[0045] The sensing data collection function can also collect non-3GPP sensing data through other means (remote sensing, photography, etc.), and process these data to obtain the characteristics or attributes of static objects (such as buildings, terrain, trees, etc.) existing in the environment.

[0046] The sensing data analysis function can also collect 3GPP sensing data or non-3GPP sensing data simultaneously. Combine these two types of sensing data to obtain the characteristics or attributes of static objects (reflection coefficient, absorption coefficient, shadow fading standard deviation, multipath effect parameters, polarization rotation angle, height and density of static objects, etc.).

[0047] The sensing data analysis function uses the obtained characteristics or attributes of static objects to construct the static characteristics of wireless electromagnetic wave transmission between devices.

[0048] Figure 5 It is a flowchart of a sensing-assisted communication method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The embodiment of the present application is applicable to the scenario where network capabilities are open to the RAN in a sensing-assisted communication scenario. This method can be executed by a sensing-assisted communication device, and this device can be implemented by software and / or hardware methods, and is generally integrated into a radio access network node or a base station. See Figure 5 The method provided by the embodiment of the present application specifically includes the following steps:

[0050] Among them, the network capability open function can be a functional unit that realizes network capability opening within a communication system.

This request message can be used to request to obtain the network capabilities opened by the network capability open function. These network capabilities can include positioning capabilities, sensing capabilities, artificial intelligence (AI), etc. The request message can be a message requesting the network capability open function to open positioning capabilities, sensing capabilities, or artificial intelligence capabilities.

[0052] Step 120: Obtain a sensing network capability response message feedback by the network capability open function.

[0053] Specifically, the network capability open function can feedback a sensed network capability response message, and the sensed network capability response message can be obtained. The sensed network capability response message can be used to feedback wireless electromagnetic wave characteristics or environmental characteristics. In some application embodiments, the sensed network capability response message can be actively sent. That is, the network capability open function can actively send the sensed capability response message according to the change of information when the request message of the radio access network node is not obtained. It can be understood that the change of the information can include the change of positioning information, the change of sensing information, the change of communication information, the change of artificial intelligence information, etc. Further, the network capability response message actively feedback by the network capability open function can be not limited to the sensed network capability response message, but also can include response messages of other network capabilities, such as, positioning network capability response message, artificial intelligence network capability response message, etc.

[0303] In an exemplary embodiment, in the application field of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), the UAV can report its own location information or future flight plan to the RAN node. The RAN node can obtain the location of the UAV and the radio field strength map, and optimize beam measurement according to the location and the radio field strength map. The RAN node obtains the radio field strength map corresponding to 10 beams (beam 1 - beam 10). The RAN node sends a measurement configuration to the UAV. The RAN node determines that the UAV needs to measure beams 3 - 6 based on the UAV location and the radio field strength map. The UAV only needs to complete the measurement of beams 3 - 6. It can sleep during the transmission time of other beams to save power. At the same time, the UAV does not need to feedback the channel measurement of other beams except beams 3 - 6, reducing the measurement feedback overhead. In the channel measurement configuration sent by the RAN node to the UAV, the radio resource information corresponding to beams 3 - 6 is carried, and the UAV only needs to measure beams 3 - 6.

The RAN node adjusts the beam transmission based on the distribution of people in TRP1. Exemplarily, the RAN node receives the distribution information of people in TRP1 and determines that the number of people corresponding to beam 1 under TRP1 increases. Then the RAN node increases the transmission times of beam 1 and increases the transmission of resources such as the SSB corresponding to beam 1. If it is determined that the number of people corresponding to beam 2 under TRP1 decreases, the RAN node increases the transmission times of beam 2.
