[0134] Figure 4 shows a schematic diagram of a wireless communication system provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 4, the wireless communication system may include: an access point (AP) and a station (STA).

[0135] In some scenarios, an AP can be referred to as an AP STA, meaning that in a sense, an AP is also a type of STA. In some scenarios, a STA can be referred to as a non-AP STA.

[0136] In some embodiments, STAs may include AP STAs and non-AP STAs. Communication in a communication system may be between an AP and a non-AP STA, between a non-AP STA and a non-AP STA, or between a STA and a peer STA. A peer STA may refer to a device that communicates with a STA. For example, a peer STA may be an AP or a non-AP STA.

[0137] An AP acts as a bridge between wired and wireless networks, connecting wireless network clients together and then connecting the wireless network to the Ethernet. An AP can be a terminal device (such as a mobile phone) or a network device (such as a router) equipped with a Wireless Fidelity (WIFI) chip.

[0138] It should be understood that the role of STA in the communication system is not absolute. For example, in some scenarios, when a mobile phone is connected to a router, the mobile phone is a non-AP STA. When the mobile phone serves as a hotspot for other mobile phones, the mobile phone plays the role of AP.

[0139] APs and non-AP STAs can be devices used in the Internet of Vehicles, IoT nodes and sensors in the Internet of Things (IoT), smart cameras, smart remote controls, smart water and electricity meters in smart homes, and sensors in smart cities.

[0140] In some embodiments, a non-AP STA may support 802.11be. A non-AP STA may also support various current and future 802.11 family wireless LAN standards, such as 802.11ax, 802.11ac, 802.11n, 802.11g, 802.11b, and 802.11a.

[0141] In some embodiments, the AP may be a device supporting the 802.11be standard. The AP may also be a device supporting various current and future 802.11 family WLAN standards, such as 802.11ax, 802.11ac, 802.11n, 802.11g, 802.11b, and 802.11a.

[0142] It should be noted that the above protocols are only examples, and the protocols supported by the AP and STA are not limited to the above protocols.

[0143] In an embodiment of the present application, a STA may be a mobile phone, a tablet, a computer, a virtual reality (VR) device, an augmented reality (AR) device, a wireless device in industrial control, a set-top box, a wireless device in self-driving, an in-vehicle communication device, a wireless device in remote medical care, a wireless device in a smart grid, a wireless device in transportation safety, a wireless device in a smart city, or a wireless device in a smart home, a wireless communication chip, an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), a SOC (System on Chip), etc. that supports WLAN / WIFI technology.

[0144] The frequency bands supported by WLAN technology may include but are not limited to: low frequency bands (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, 6 GHz) and high frequency bands (45 GHz, 60 GHz).

[0145] There are one or more links between the station and the access point. In some embodiments, the station and the access point support multi-band communication. For example, communication is performed simultaneously on the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, 6 GHz, 45 GHz, and 60 GHz frequency bands, or communication is performed simultaneously on different channels of the same frequency band (or different frequency bands), thereby improving the communication throughput and / or reliability between devices. Such a device is generally referred to as a multi-band device, or a multi-link device (MLD), sometimes also referred to as a multi-link entity or a multi-band entity. A multi-link device can be an access point device or a station device. If the multi-link device is an access point device, the multi-link device includes one or more APs; if the multi-link device is a station device, the multi-link device includes one or more non-AP STAs.

[0146] A multi-link device including one or more APs may be referred to as an AP, and a multi-link device including one or more non-AP STAs may be referred to as a non-AP.

[0147] In an embodiment of the present application, the AP may include multiple APs, the Non-AP may include multiple STAs, multiple links may be formed between the APs in the AP and the STAs in the Non-AP, and data communication may be performed between the APs in the AP and the corresponding STAs in the Non-AP through the corresponding links.

[0148] An AP is a device deployed in a wireless local area network to provide wireless communication capabilities for STAs. A station may include: User Equipment (UE), an access terminal, a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a mobile station, a remote station, a remote terminal, a mobile device, a wireless communication device, a user agent, or a user device. Optionally, a station may also be a cellular phone, a cordless phone, a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phone, a Wireless Local Loop (WLL) station, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a handheld device with wireless communication capabilities, a computing device or other processing device connected to a wireless modem, a vehicle-mounted device, or a wearable device, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0149] In the wireless communication protocol version of the related technology, the perception agent process in the DMG band and the Sub-7 band is supported, and the two processes are similar. On the one hand, Sub-7 band perception can provide an indication of relatively large movement and contains rich multipath information. On the other hand, the directional transmission of millimeter waves in the DMG band can facilitate direction estimation, and its large bandwidth provides higher distance resolution, thereby enabling more fine-grained perception. Therefore, for data-driven algorithms, the fusion of perception measurements of the two bands is expected to enhance the robustness and generalization of the model. Based on this, a design scheme for cross-band perception agents is proposed. For example, the Sub-7 device requests the DMG device to perform higher-precision perception, or the DMG device requests the Sub-7 device to perform a wider range of perception. However, there are still the following problems with cross-band perception agents:

[0150] 1. For the DMG frequency band, DMG sensing types include dual-base sensing, multi-base sensing, collaborative dual-base sensing, and collaborative single-base sensing. There is no indication of the single-base sensing type.

[0151] 2. In the perception agent startup phase or the DMG perception agent startup phase of the perception agent process, there is a lack of parameters that specify the perception range.

[0152] 3. During the perception agent reporting phase, Sub-7 devices and DMG devices are unable to parse some of the data reported by the perception measurement from the DMG device.

[0153] Based on this, the embodiments of the present application propose a design scheme for the wireless communication protocol and cross-band perception proxy process in the related technology, and improve the setting of the perception type and perception range in the cross-band perception proxy.

[0338] 1. The low-frequency device requests a first-type perception measurement in the high-frequency band.

[0339] 1.1 Process of a low-frequency device requesting a first-type perception measurement in the high-frequency band

[0340] Figure 8 shows a scenario diagram of a low-frequency band device requesting to perform a first perception type perception measurement of a high-frequency band provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application, and Figure 9 shows a flowchart of a low-frequency band device requesting to perform a first perception type perception measurement of a high-frequency band provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application.

[0341] Taking the first perception type as single-base perception as an example, Figures 8 and 9 involve a proxy initiating device (STA1, Sub-7 device) and a proxy responding device (AP, a device with both DMG and Sub-7 perception capabilities), where the proxy responding device is used to respond to the proxy request of the proxy initiating device.

[0342] Please refer to Figures 8 and 9. The process of a low-frequency band device requesting a first-type perception measurement of a high-frequency band is briefly described as follows:

[0343] Step 1: The proxy initiating device (STA1, Sub-7 device) sends a proxy request frame (SBP request frame) to the proxy responding device (AP) to initiate the DMG perception proxy process.

[0344] Optionally, the proxy request frame carries at least one of a DMG sensing proxy parameter element (DMG SBP Parameters element) and a DMG sensing measurement setup element (DMG Sensing Measurement Setup element).

[0348] In step 3, the proxy response device (AP) completes the DMG perception measurement process according to the settings in the proxy request frame. The proxy response device (AP) completes the monostatic perception by sending a monostatic perception measurement frame (monostatic PPDU).

[0349] Step 4: The proxy responding device (AP) sends a proxy report frame (SBP Report frame) to the proxy initiating device (STA1, Sub-7 device) to inform the DMG of the perception measurement result.

[0350] Optionally, the proxy report frame carries at least one of a DMG Sensing Report control element and a DMG Sensing Report element.

[0351] In step 5, the proxy initiating device (STA1, Sub-7 device) sends a proxy termination frame (SBP Termination frame) to the proxy responding device (AP) to indicate the termination of the related DMG perception.

[0352] Optionally, the proxy termination frame carries at least one of a DMG measurement setup identifier (DMG Measurement Setup ID) and a DMG perception proxy termination control (DMG SBP Termination control) field.

When the Single-Base Awareness field is set to 1, the proxy initiating device requests single-base awareness. At the same time, the Awareness Type field in the Measurement Settings Control field of the DMG Awareness Measurement Settings element in the Proxy Request frame is set to a reserved value or an invalid value.

[0473] Known parameters:

[0474] The xyz coordinates of the AP are (0, 0, 0), the xyz coordinates of STA1 are (-3, -1, 1), and the xyz coordinates of STA2 are (-1, 2, 2).

[0475] Target direction:

[0476] Azimuth Altitude angle θ1 = 0.729727656226966; distance d1 = 3.

[0477] In the companion direction between STA1 and AP:

[0478] Azimuth Altitude angle θ2 = -0.306277369169669; distance d2 = 3.316624790355400.

[0511] 3.3 Steps for a low-band device to request high-band perception measurements and parse perception reports

[0512] Please refer to Figures 19 and 20. The detailed steps for a low-band device to request a high-band perception measurement and parse the perception report are as follows:

[0513] Step 0, the perception initiating device broadcasts a beacon frame, the DMG perception responding device actively sends a probe request frame, an association request frame or a reassociation request frame to the perception initiating device, and receives the probe request frame, the association request frame or the reassociation request frame returned by the perception initiating device to exchange the perception capability information of the perception initiating device and the DMG perception responding device.

[0514] Optionally, at least one of the beacon frame, the probe request frame, the association request frame or the reassociation request frame carries a DMG sensing beam descriptor element (DMG Sensing Beam Descriptor element) for exposing the sensing transmit beam and sensing receive beam that it can support.

[0515] Step 1: The proxy initiating device (STA1, Sub-7 device) sends a proxy request frame (SBP request frame) to the proxy responding device (AP) to initiate the DMG perception proxy process.

[0516] Optionally, the proxy request frame carries a DMG sensing proxy parameter element (DMG SBP Parameters element) and a DMG sensing measurement setup element (DMG Sensing Measurement Setup element).

[0517] Optionally, the value of the Sensing Type field in the Measurement Setup Control field in the DMG Sensing Measurement Setup element is 0, indicating that the sensing type is a cooperative single-base sensing type.

[0518] In step 2, the proxy response device (AP) sends a DMG sensing measurement setup request frame to the DMG sensing response device (STA2, DMG device) to negotiate operating parameters in the DMG sensing measurement process.

[0519] Step 3: The DMG sensing response device (STA2, DMG device) sends a DMG sensing measurement setup response frame (DMG Sensing Measurement Setup Response frame) to the proxy response device (AP) to indicate confirmation of establishing the DMG sensing measurement.

[0520] Step 4: The proxy responding device (AP) sends a proxy response frame (SBP Response frame) to the proxy initiating device (STA1, Sub-7 device) to indicate that it has accepted the perception proxy task.

[0521] Optionally, taking the proxy response frame in Figure 21 as an example, the proxy response frame carries a DMG sensing proxy parameter element, a DMG sensing measurement setup element, and a DMG measurement setup ID field. The proxy response frame also carries a DMG sensing image range axis lookup table element (DMG Sensing Image Range Axis LUT element), a DMG sensing image Doppler axis lookup table element (DMG Sensing Image Doppler Axis LUT element), a beam description (Beam Descriptor) field, and a DMG sensing measurement setup ID field to assist the proxy initiating device in parsing the DMG measurement report.

[0522] In step 5, the proxy response device (AP) and the DMG perception response device (STA2, DMG device) complete the DMG perception measurement process according to the settings in the proxy request frame.

[0523] In step 6, the proxy responding device (AP) sends a proxy report frame (SBP Report frame) to the proxy initiating device (STA1, Sub-7 device) to inform the DMG of the perception measurement result.

[0524] Optionally, the proxy report frame carries a DMG Sensing Report control element and a DMG Sensing Report element.

[0525] In step 7, the proxy initiating device (STA1, Sub-7 device) sends a proxy termination frame (SBP Termination frame) to the proxy responding device (AP) to indicate the termination of the related DMG perception.

[0526] Optionally, the proxy termination frame carries a DMG measurement setup identifier (DMG Measurement Setup ID) and a DMG perception proxy termination control (DMG SBP Termination control) field.

[0527] 3.4 Example scenario of a low-frequency device parsing a high-frequency perception report

[0528] Figure 22 shows a scenario diagram of a low-band device parsing a high-band perception report provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Figure 22 involves a proxy initiating device (STA1, a Sub-7 device), a proxy responding device (AP, a device with both DMG and Sub-7 perception capabilities), and a DMG perception responding device (STA2, a DMG device).

[0529] The parameter settings are as follows:

[0530] The DMG Sensing Report Type field in the DMG Sensing Report element is set to 0, and the Range Axis Present field, the Doppler Axis Present field, the Receiver Beam Index Present field, and the Transmitter Beam Index Present field in the AxisPresent field in the DMG Sensing Image Report Data element are set to 1.

[0531] Taking the proxy request frame in Figure 15-16 as an example, the Location Information Present field and Companion Direction Present field in the DMG Perception Proxy Parameter Control field of the DMG Perception Proxy Parameter element are set to 1. The DMG Perception Proxy Parameter element carries STA1's location information, as well as the measured direction and distance between the AP and the target. The Location Information Present field and Companion Direction Present field in the Perception Measurement Setting Control field of the DMG Perception Measurement Setting element are set to 1. The DMG Perception Measurement Setting element carries the device's location information and the measured companion direction.

[0532] When the low-band device receives the proxy report frame from the high-band device, it uses the AID / UID carried to find the TX / RX Beam List in the DMG Sensing Beam Descriptor element and the DMG Sensing Measurement Setup element of the sensing transmitter and the sensing receiver, thereby obtaining the azimuth corresponding to the Transmitter Beam Index and Receiver Beam Index in the sensing report. And the altitude angle θ. Then, the Doppler value γ and range value d corresponding to the Doppler axis (Doppler Axis) and range axis (Range Axis) in the perception report are obtained through the DMG Sensing Image Range Axis LUT element and the DMG Sensing Image Doppler Axis LUT element in the proxy response frame.

[0533] Based on this, the unknown parameters and known parameters in Figure 22 can be expressed as follows:

[0534] Unknown parameters: xyz coordinates of the target

[0535] Known parameters:

[0536] The xyz coordinates of the AP are (0, 0, 0), the xyz coordinates of STA1 are (-3, -1, 1), and the xyz coordinates of STA2 are (-1, 2, 2).

[0537] The angle and distance of the target measured by STA2: azimuth Altitude angle θ1 = 0.615479708670387, distance d1 = 1.732050807568877.

[0538] Companion direction between STA1 and AP: azimuth Altitude angle θ2 = -0.306277369169669, distance d2 = 3.316624790355400.

[0539] Companion direction between AP and STA2: azimuth Altitude angle θ3 = 0.729727656226966, distance d3 = 3.

[0540] According to the geometric relationship, the vector between the target and STA1 can be calculated as:

[0541]

[0542] It can be obtained that the azimuth and altitude angles of the target relative to STA1 are 1.107148717794090 and 0.729727656226966, and the distance is 3.

[0546] In other embodiments, the high frequency band device may also directly send the range, Doppler, beam receiving direction and beam transmitting direction in the reflection parameter subelements in the DMG Sensing Image Report Data element in the DMG Sensing Report element in the proxy report frame, to replace the range axis, Doppler axis, receiver beam index and transmitter beam index in the proxy response frame.

[0547] In some embodiments, the frame structure of the proxy report frame is shown in Figure 23, including the following arranged in sequence: range subfield, Doppler subfield, transmitter beam descriptor subfield, receiver beam descriptor subfield and reflection power subfield.
