[0116] In response to obtaining the second request, the second request is used to instruct the terminal to determine first perception measurement data, where the first perception measurement data is perception measurement data related to the perception service on the terminal side, and determine and send the first perception measurement data.

[0117] In the above embodiment, the terminal requests the core network device to provide the perception service to the terminal by sending a first request. The first request includes first information for indicating the perception service required by the terminal, laying the foundation for the core network device to determine which perception measurement data is required to provide the service. The terminal receives the second request sent by the core network device. The terminal only needs to collect the perception measurement data related to the perception service on the terminal side, and does not need to collect the perception measurement data related to the perception service on the non-terminal side, such as the core network side, thereby realizing the orderly allocation and execution of the task of determining the perception measurement data.

[0118] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0120] In the above-mentioned embodiments, the two types of perception measurement data in the disclosed embodiments are perception measurement data from the terminal side and perception measurement data from the core network device side. Because the network elements and environment of the core network device side contain a large amount of useful information, determining the perception result based on these two types of perception measurement data is more accurate.

[0300] Please refer to Figure 1b, which exemplarily shows the input-output separation structure of the embodiment of the present disclosure applied to the 6G network. As shown in the figure, the network structure adds input function network elements and output function network elements on the basis of the 5GS network architecture for obtaining and feedback of information within the network.

[0301] The overall architecture is divided into two parts: the dotted part is the control plane, and the solid part is the data plane. The control plane is used for signaling interaction between network elements, and the data plane is used for the transmission of perception measurement data and perception results.

[0302] The control plane mainly involves at least one of the following:

[0303] Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF);

[0304] Session Management Function (SMF);

[0305] Unified Data Management (UDM)

[0306] Authentication Server Function (AUSF)

[0307] User Data Repository (UDR);

[0308] Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF);

[0309] Network Repository Function (NRF);

[0310] Policy Control Function (PCF);

[0311] Application Function (AF)

[0312] Network Exposure Function (NEF);

[0313] The data plane involves at least one of the following:

[0314] User Plane Function (UPF)

[0315] Gateway (GW);

[0316] Data Network (DN).

[0317] Furthermore, the core network equipment of the disclosed embodiment adds a first network element (the Scheduler network element in the figure) for scheduling and allocating sensing tasks. A third network element (the Calculation network element in the figure) is also added to the network to analyze and calculate sensing policy data using network computing resources and transmit the sensing results to a fourth network element (the Output network element in the figure). The UE side also has an input function module. Terminal entities such as mobile phones and smart cars capture location information, road conditions, and vehicle driving information through antennas, cameras, and other devices. The remaining network elements are all existing network elements in 5GS.

[0318] The second network element (input network element) in the core network equipment (see figure) contains network traffic monitors, network sensors, temperature sensors, and network cameras. These devices can detect real-time changes in network information, such as abnormal network congestion and server temperature. They can also obtain real-time monitoring information through cameras. It is crucial to obtain this network information in a timely manner and to influence other network elements.

[0319] The first network element can make judgments and analyses based on the input information, and is responsible for signaling scheduling and task allocation between the UE and the third network element.

[0320] The third network element can dispatch computing resources (such as GPU\CPU, etc.) to process the input information, remove redundant content, preprocess, calculate and infer the useful parts, and generate the next step instructions based on the results.

[0321] The fourth network element includes a display screen, switches, etc. For example, if the network detects that the server temperature is too high, it notifies the fourth network element to take appropriate measures, such as turning on the air conditioner or increasing the radiator power; if smoke or fire is detected in the computer room, it activates the fire extinguishing equipment.
