[0058] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide communication methods and apparatuses, communication devices, communication systems, and storage media.

[0059] In a first aspect, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a communication method, the method is performed by a first terminal, and the method comprises the following steps:

[0060] sending a first message to at least one second terminal, the first message comprising a first indication and / or at least one first information; wherein different first information corresponds to different perceived objects of the first terminal, the first information is used to indicate the characteristics of the corresponding perceived object, and the first indication is used to indicate that the first terminal expects to communicate with the perceived object;

[0061] receiving a second indication sent by the second terminal, the second indication is used to indicate at least one of the following: the second terminal successfully matches the perceived object of the first terminal; the first information successfully matched by the second terminal; and the identity information of the second terminal and the first information successfully matched by the second terminal have been successfully associated and registered on the network;

[0062] indicating the first information successfully matched by the second terminal to an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) to schedule communication of the second terminal.

[0063] In the above embodiments, the first terminal sends a first message to at least one second terminal, the first message comprising a first indication and / or at least one first information, different first information corresponding to different perceived objects (i.e., perceived objects that the first terminal needs to perceive) of the first terminal, the first information being used to indicate a characteristic of the corresponding perceived object, and the first indication being used to indicate that the first terminal expects to communicate with the perceived object. Optionally, after the first terminal sends the first message, the first terminal further receives a second indication sent by the second terminal, the second indication being used to indicate at least one of the following: the second terminal successfully matches the perceived object of the first terminal; the first information successfully matched by the second terminal; and the identity information of the second terminal and the first information successfully matched by the second terminal have been successfully associated and registered on the network. As can be seen, after the second terminal receives the first message sent by the first terminal, the second terminal matches the characteristics of each first information indicated in the first message based on its own characteristics, and when the second terminal matches the characteristic indicated by a certain first information, it means that the second terminal is the perceived object of the first terminal. At this time, the second terminal associates and registers the identity information of the second terminal and the first information successfully matched by the second terminal on the network, and when the association and registration are successful, the second terminal sends the above-mentioned second indication to the first terminal. The first terminal can know that the second terminal is the perceived object of the first terminal based on the second indication sent by the second terminal, and can also determine that the characteristic corresponding to the perceived object and the identity information corresponding to the perceived object have been successfully associated and registered on the network. Therefore, the first terminal can communicate with the perceived object by indicating the characteristic corresponding to the perceived object to the network (such as an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)), for example, the first terminal can first indicate the characteristic corresponding to the perceived object of the first terminal to the network, and the network can determine the identity information corresponding to the perceived object based on the characteristic of the perceived object indicated by the first terminal and the associated content of the network, and perform communication scheduling on the perceived object based on the identity information corresponding to the perceived object.

[0231] In some embodiments, the access network device can be composed of a central unit (CU) and a distributed unit (DU), where the CU can also be referred to as a control unit. The CU-DU structure can split the protocol layers of the access network device, with some protocol layer functions being controlled by the CU, and the remaining or all protocol layer functions being distributed in the DU and controlled by the CU, but not limited thereto.

[0232] In some embodiments, the core network device can include a first network element, etc. The network element can be virtual or physical. The core network includes at least one of an evolved packet core (EPC), a 5G core network (5GCN), and a next generation core (NGC), for example.

[0234] It can be understood that the communication system described in the embodiments of the present disclosure is for more clearly illustrating the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions proposed in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Those skilled in the art can know that, as the system architecture evolves and new service scenarios appear, the technical solutions proposed in the embodiments of the present disclosure are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0235] The following embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to the communication system 100 shown in FIG. 1 or part of the subject, but are not limited thereto. The subjects shown in FIG. 1 are examples, and the communication system can include all or part of the subjects in FIG. 1, or include other subjects other than FIG. 1. The number and form of each subject is arbitrary, and the connection relationship between each subject is an example. Each subject can be connected or not connected, and the connection can be in any way, can be direct connection or indirect connection, can be wired connection or wireless connection.

[0237] Optionally, the terminals can perceive each other via the PC5 interface, so as to perceive the characteristic information of the other terminal. In some embodiments, when perceiving the other terminal, the terminal can also schedule the perceived other terminal for communication, for example, initiate a call to the other terminal. Optionally, when scheduling the perceived other terminal, the terminal can need to schedule the other terminal based on the identity information of the other terminal, which can include, for example, the phone number of the terminal, etc.

[0238] However, there is currently no method for the terminal to associate the characteristic information of the perceived terminal with the identity information of the perceived terminal, so that the terminal cannot know the identity information corresponding to the perceived terminal, and thus cannot schedule the perceived terminal for communication, affecting the communication efficiency.

[0239] Therefore, the present disclosure provides a communication method to solve the above technical problems.

[0240] FIG. 2 is an interaction diagram of a communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a communication method for the communication system 100, and the method comprises:

[0241] In step 2101, the first terminal sends a first message to at least one second terminal.

[0242] Optionally, the first terminal can broadcast the first message via the PC5 interface, and the second terminal can receive the first message sent by the first terminal. The second terminal can be any terminal except the first terminal.

[0243] Optionally, the first message can include a first indication and / or at least one first information, wherein different first information corresponds to different perceived objects of the first terminal, which can be understood as, for example, the perceived object that the first terminal needs to perceive. Optionally, the first information can be used to indicate the characteristics of the corresponding perceived object. And the first indication can be used to indicate that the first terminal expects to communicate with the perceived object.

[0244] In some embodiments, the perceived object can include a terminal and / or a terminal carrier, which can be understood as, for example, a person holding the terminal, or a device (such as a vehicle) installed with the terminal, etc.

[0245] In some embodiments, the first information can be used to indicate the characteristics of the terminal and / or the characteristics of the terminal carrier.

[0246] For example, when the perceived object is a terminal, the first information can be used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0247] position information of the perceived object, the position information being used to indicate a position of the perceived object;

[0248] a timestamp of the perceived object, the timestamp being used to indicate a time when the perceived object is at the position indicated by the position information;

[0249] a motion speed of the perceived object; the motion speed may, for example, include a motion direction and / or a speed size;

[0250] a feature of a carrier of the perceived object.

[0251] In an example, when the perceived object is a terminal carrier, the first information may be used to indicate at least one of:

[0252] position information of a terminal carried by the perceived object, the position information being used to indicate a position of the terminal carried by the perceived object;

[0253] a timestamp of the terminal carried by the perceived object, the timestamp being used to indicate a time when the terminal carried by the perceived object is at the position indicated by the position information;

[0254] a motion speed of the terminal carried by the perceived object;

[0255] a feature of the perceived object.

[0256] In an example, the above-mentioned “position information, timestamp, motion speed” may be understood as features of the terminal, and the above-mentioned “feature” may be understood as a feature of a carrier of the terminal. Optionally, when the terminal carrier is a person holding the terminal, the feature may be, for example, height, clothing color, body shape, etc.; when the terminal carrier is a device installed with the terminal, the feature may be, for example, size, shape, color, etc.

[0257] Optionally, in some embodiments, the different first information also respectively corresponds to an information identifier, and the information identifiers corresponding to the different first information are different. The information identifier may be, for example, an information number of the different first information. In some embodiments, the information identifier of the first information may be indicated by the first message, that is, the first message may include at least one first information and an information identifier corresponding to the different first information, or the information identifier of the first information may be agreed by a protocol, for example, the protocol may agree that the information identifier of the first information in the first message is “number 1”, the information identifier of the second first information in the first message is “number 2”, and so on. Of course, other implementation manners may also be used, and the disclosure does not make a specific limitation in this regard.

[0258] In step 2102, the second terminal performs feature matching based on the feature indicated by the at least one first information.

[0259] Optionally, the second terminal can be matched with the terminal of the second terminal and the terminal of the second terminal whether the terminal of the second terminal matches the terminal of the first information; and / or, the second terminal can be matched with the terminal of the second terminal and the terminal of the second terminal whether the terminal of the second terminal matches the terminal of the first information. Optionally, when the terminal of the second terminal matches the terminal of the first information, and / or, when the terminal of the second terminal matches the terminal of the first information, it is determined that the second terminal matches the terminal of the first information. The description of the terminal of the second terminal and the terminal of the second terminal can refer to the foregoing description.

[0260] For example, it is assumed that the terminal of the first information #1 is as follows: the location information is "location A", the time stamp is "time B", and the motion speed is "speed C"; and it is assumed that the terminal of the first information #1 is as follows: the appearance feature is "height: H centimeters, clothing color: red, and body type: burly man". At this time, the second terminal can determine whether the second terminal is at location A at time B, and can determine whether the motion speed of the second terminal is "speed C", and can determine whether the height of the person holding the second terminal is H centimeters, the clothing color is red, and the body type is burly man.

[0261] Optionally, if the second terminal determines that the second terminal is at location A at time B, and determines that the motion speed of the second terminal is "speed C", and determines that the height of the person holding the second terminal is H centimeters, the clothing color is red, and the body type is burly man, the second terminal considers that the second terminal matches the terminal of the first information #1, or if the second terminal determines that the second terminal is at location A at time B, and determines that the motion speed of the second terminal is "speed C", it can be considered that the second terminal matches the terminal of the first information #1. Otherwise, it is considered that the second terminal does not match the terminal of the first information #1, of course, there can be other matching determination methods, which are not limited in the present disclosure.

[0262] Step 2103, the second terminal matches the terminal of the first information, and sends a second message to the first network element.

[0263] Optionally, when the second terminal matches the characteristic indicated by the first information, it indicates that the second terminal or a terminal carrier of the second terminal is a perceived object of the first terminal. At this time, the second terminal sends a second message to the first network element. Optionally, the second terminal can send the second message to the first network element through a next generation radio access network (NG-RAN). For example, the second terminal can send the second message to the first network element through an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) network element in the NG-RAN. Optionally, the first network element can receive the second message sent by the second terminal.

[0264] In some embodiments, the second message can indicate at least one of the following:

[0265] The second terminal matches the first information successfully;

[0266] Identity information of the second terminal;

[0267] The first information matched successfully by the second terminal.

[0268] Optionally, in some embodiments, the identity information of the second terminal described above may, for example, include at least one of the following:

[0269] A call number (or a telephone number) of the second terminal;

[0270] An Internet Protocol (IP) address of the second terminal;

[0271] A terminal identifier of the second terminal. Optionally, the terminal identifier may, for example, include a user equipment identity (UE ID) and / or an International Mobile Subscriber Identification Number (IMSI).

[0272] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the second message indicates the first information matched successfully by the second terminal, the second message may, for example, include the first information matched successfully by the second terminal, or may, for example, include an information identifier corresponding to the first information matched successfully by the second terminal. When the second message includes the information identifier corresponding to the first information matched successfully by the second terminal, the communication resource occupied by the information identifier is generally less, thereby reducing the communication overhead and saving the communication resource.

[0273] Optionally, in some embodiments, the second message can further be used to indicate a feature of the second terminal; optionally, the feature of the second terminal can comprise at least one of the following:

[0274] location information of the second terminal, the location information can be used to indicate a location of the second terminal;

[0275] a timestamp of the second terminal, the timestamp can be used to indicate a time when the second terminal is at the location indicated by the location information;

[0276] a motion speed of the second terminal;

[0277] a feature of a carrier of the second terminal.

[0278] For detailed description of the “feature” herein, please refer to the above step description.

[0279] Step 2104, the first network element links the identity information of the second terminal and the first information matched successfully by the second terminal.

[0280] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first information matched successfully by the second terminal can be used to indicate which perceived object of the first terminal the second terminal specifically corresponds to, based on which, the first network element links the identity information of the second terminal and the first information matched successfully by the second terminal, so that the first network element can associate the feature of the same perceived object of the first terminal with the corresponding identity information, thereby, when the first terminal subsequently performs communication scheduling on the second terminal, the first terminal can indicate the first information matched successfully by the second terminal to the first network element, and the first network element can determine the identity information of the second terminal based on the associated content and the indication of the first terminal, and can perform communication scheduling on the second terminal based on the identity information of the second terminal, thereby ensuring successful scheduling of the first terminal on the perceived object of the first terminal and improving communication efficiency.

[0281] Step 2105, the first network element sends a third indication to the second terminal.

[0282] Optionally, the third indication can be used to indicate that the identity information of the second terminal and the first information matched successfully by the second terminal have been successfully associated and registered on the network.

[0283] Step 2106, the second terminal sends a second indication to the first terminal.

[0284] Optionally, the second terminal can broadcast the second indication through a PC5 interface. Optionally, the first terminal can receive the second indication.

[0285] Optionally, the second indication can be used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0286] The second terminal matches successfully with the perceived object of the first terminal;

[0287] The first information matched successfully by the second terminal;

[0288] The identity information of the second terminal and the first information matched successfully by the second terminal have been successfully associated and registered on the network.

[0289] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the second terminal matches successfully with the first information, the second indication can include the first information matched successfully by the second terminal, or can include an information identifier corresponding to the first information matched successfully by the second terminal. When the information identifier corresponding to the first information matched successfully by the second terminal is included in the second indication, the communication overhead can be reduced and the communication resources can be saved because the communication resources occupied by the information identifier are generally less.

[0290] Optionally, in some embodiments, by indicating the “first information matched successfully by the second terminal” to the first terminal, the first terminal can be informed of which perceived object of the first terminal the second terminal corresponds to; and by indicating “the identity information of the second terminal and the first information matched successfully by the second terminal have been successfully associated and registered on the network” to the first terminal, the first terminal can be informed that the identity information of the second terminal and the first information matched successfully by the second terminal have been successfully associated on the network. When the first terminal needs to perform communication scheduling on the second terminal, the first information matched successfully by the second terminal is indicated to the network, so that the network determines the identity information of the second terminal based on the associated content and the first information matched successfully by the second terminal indicated by the first terminal, and then performs communication scheduling on the second terminal based on the identity information of the second terminal.

[0291] In step 2107, the first network element sends the association relationship between the identity information of the second terminal and the first information matched successfully by the second terminal to an Internet Protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS).

[0292] Optionally, when the first terminal schedules the second terminal through the network, the first terminal does not necessarily pass through the first network element, but can pass through the IMS to schedule the second terminal. Therefore, the first network element can send the association between the identity information of the second terminal and the first information matched successfully by the second terminal to the IMS, so that the first terminal can schedule the second terminal based on the IMS by indicating the first information matched successfully by the second terminal to the IMS, that is, the first terminal can indicate the first information matched successfully by the second terminal to the IMS, and the IMS can determine the identity information of the second terminal based on the indication of the first terminal and the associated content, and can successfully schedule the second terminal based on the identity information of the second terminal.

[0293] Optionally, the IMS described above is only an example. In other embodiments, the first terminal can also schedule the second terminal through other devices or other network elements in the network. In this case, the first network element can also send the association between the identity information of the second terminal and the first information matched successfully by the second terminal to other devices or other network elements in the network to enable the first terminal to schedule the second terminal through the network. The present disclosure does not make specific limitations on this.

[0294] Optionally, the step 2107 is mainly executed after the step 2104. At the same time, the step 2107 can be executed simultaneously with the step 2105 or the step 2106, or the step 2107 can be executed before the step 2105 or the step 2106, or the step 2107 can be executed after the step 2105 or the step 2106.

[0295] Step 2108: The first terminal indicates the first information matched successfully by the second terminal to the IMS to schedule the second terminal for communication.

[0296] Optionally, the first terminal can send the first information matched successfully by the second terminal to the IMS, and / or the first terminal can send an information identifier corresponding to the first information matched successfully by the second terminal to the IMS. When the first terminal sends the information identifier corresponding to the first information matched successfully by the second terminal to the IMS, the communication resource occupied by the information identifier is generally less, so that the communication cost can be reduced and the communication resource can be saved.

[0297] Optionally, when the first terminal indicates the first information matched successfully by the second terminal to the IMS, the first terminal can further indicate the communication scheduling expected by the first terminal for the second terminal, for example, the first terminal can further indicate that the first terminal expects to call the second terminal.

[0298] Step 2109: The IMS schedules the second terminal for communication based on the indication of the first terminal and the associated content.

[0299] Optionally, the IMS can determine the identity information of the second terminal based on the first information matched successfully by the second terminal indicated by the first terminal and the association relationship between the identity information of the second terminal and the first information matched successfully by the second terminal, and can perform corresponding communication scheduling on the second terminal based on the identity information.

[0300] In the above embodiments, the first terminal can send a first message to at least one second terminal, the first message including a first indication and / or at least one first information, different first information corresponding to different perceived objects (i.e., perceived objects that the first terminal needs to perceive) of the first terminal, the first information being used to indicate the characteristics of the corresponding perceived object, and the first indication being used to indicate that the first terminal expects to communicate with the perceived object. Optionally, after the first terminal sends the first message, the first terminal can also receive a second indication sent by the second terminal, the second indication being used to indicate at least one of the following: the second terminal matches the perceived object of the first terminal successfully; the first information matched successfully by the second terminal; and the identity information of the second terminal and the first information matched successfully by the second terminal have been successfully associated and registered on the network. As can be seen, after the second terminal receives the first message sent by the first terminal, the second terminal can match the characteristics indicated by each first information in the first message based on its own characteristics, and when the second terminal matches the characteristics indicated by a certain first information, it means that the second terminal is the perceived object of the first terminal. At this time, the second terminal can associate and register the identity information of the second terminal with the first information matched successfully by the second terminal on the network, and when the association and registration are successful, the second terminal can send the above-mentioned second indication to the first terminal. Then, the first terminal can know that the second terminal is the perceived object of the first terminal based on the second indication sent by the second terminal, and can also determine that the characteristics corresponding to the perceived object and the identity information corresponding to the perceived object have been successfully associated and registered on the network. Therefore, the first terminal can perform communication scheduling on the perceived object by indicating the characteristics corresponding to the perceived object to the network (e.g., IMS), for example, the first terminal can first indicate the characteristics corresponding to the perceived object of the first terminal to the network, the network can determine the identity information corresponding to the perceived object based on the characteristics of the perceived object indicated by the first terminal and the association content of the network, and perform communication scheduling on the perceived object based on the identity information corresponding to the perceived object. In this way, the first terminal successfully schedules the perceived object of the first terminal, and the communication efficiency is improved.

[0411] The communication method related to the embodiments of the present disclosure can include at least one of steps 5101-5110. For example, step 5101 can be implemented as an independent embodiment, and step 5102 can be implemented as an independent embodiment, but not limited thereto.

[0413] The following is an exemplary introduction to the above method. The present disclosure designs a process, which achieves the purpose of establishing a connection between the feature information of the perceived UE and the UE ID through PC5 port communication and registration to the perception function entity (i.e. the aforementioned first network element).

[0414] Optionally, FIG. 5B is an interaction diagram of a communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 5B, the process of the present disclosure includes the following steps:

[0415] UE1 (i.e. the aforementioned first terminal) first broadcasts the feature information of the UE to be found and the expectation of establishing communication to many UE2 (i.e. the aforementioned second terminal) through the PC5 port;

[0416] UE2 receives the above feature information and performs matching to determine whether UE1 is looking for itself;

[0417] If UE2 determines that UE1 is looking for itself (UE2), it then registers with the network's sensing function (Sensing Function) to provide its own feature information and identity information. The feature information includes: UE2's location information, UE2's timestamp (time spent at the location), movement speed (including size and direction), and other information (such as the size, shape, color of the object with UE2, etc.), which can be optional. In addition, UE2 also provides the sensing function with its own identity information (such as UE2's phone number, IP address, UE2's IMSI, etc. UE identifier) and the corresponding UE information of the multiple UEs whose feature information UE1 broadcasted that UE2 matched, such as: the feature information of the UE that UE2 matched or the number information of the UE. Such information can uniquely specify that UE2 matched a certain UE.

[0418] After receiving the registration information from UE2, the sensing function sends a registration success message.

[0419] After receiving the registration success information from the sensing function, UE2 sends a registration success message to UE1 through PC5 broadcast.

[0420] The method of the present disclosure establishes the connection between the feature information of the sensed UE and the UE ID through PC5 communication and registration with the sensing function entity.

[0421] The embodiments of the present disclosure also propose a device for implementing any of the above methods, for example, a device comprising units or modules for implementing each step performed by the terminal in any of the above methods. For another example, another device is also proposed, comprising units or modules for implementing each step performed by the network equipment (such as access network equipment, core network function node, core network equipment, etc.) in any of the above methods.

[0422] It should be understood that the division of each unit or module in the above apparatus is only a logical function division, and all or part of them can be integrated into a physical entity or physically separated in actual implementation. In addition, the units or modules in the apparatus can be implemented in the form of processor calling software: for example, the apparatus includes a processor, the processor is connected with a memory, the memory stores instructions, and the processor calls the instructions stored in the memory to realize the functions of any of the above methods or the units or modules of the above apparatus, wherein the processor is a general processor such as a central processing unit (CPU) or a microprocessor, and the memory is a memory in the apparatus or a memory outside the apparatus. Alternatively, the units or modules in the apparatus can be implemented in the form of hardware circuit, and the functions of part or all of the units or modules can be realized by the design of the hardware circuit. The above hardware circuit can be understood as one or more processors; for example, in one implementation, the above hardware circuit is an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), and the functions of part or all of the units or modules are realized by the design of the logical relationship between the elements in the circuit; for another example, in another implementation, the above hardware circuit is a programmable logic device (PLD), and a field programmable gate array (FPGA) is taken as an example, which can include a large number of logic gate circuits, and the connection relationship between the logic gate circuits is configured by a configuration file, so as to realize the functions of part or all of the units or modules. All units or modules of the above apparatus can be all implemented in the form of processor calling software, or all implemented in the form of hardware circuit, or part implemented in the form of processor calling software and the remaining part implemented in the form of hardware circuit.

[0423] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the processor is a circuit with signal processing capability. In one implementation, the processor can be a circuit with instruction reading and running capability, such as a central processing unit (CPU), a microprocessor, a graphics processing unit (GPU) (which can be understood as a microprocessor), a digital signal processor (DSP), or the like. In another implementation, the processor can implement certain functions through a logical relationship of hardware circuits, and the logical relationship of the hardware circuits is fixed or can be reconfigured. For example, the processor is a hardware circuit implemented by an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a programmable logic device (PLD), such as an FPGA. In the reconfigurable hardware circuit, the processor loads a configuration document to implement the configuration of the hardware circuit. It can be understood that the processor loads instructions to implement the functions of the above part or all units or modules. In addition, the hardware circuit can also be designed for artificial intelligence, which can be understood as an ASIC, such as a neural network processing unit (NPU), a tensor processing unit (TPU), a deep learning processing unit (DPU), or the like.
