[0002] With the evolution of communication technologies, communication frequency bands, especially millimeter-wave bands, have evolved to include sensing capabilities. When radio access network elements or terminal devices possess sensing capabilities, they can detect and identify specific areas, objects, or events. Currently, the IMT2020 standard provides a sensing infrastructure and basic implementation process; however, it only provides basic requirements for network element sensing capability registration, without specifying the detailed implementation process for reporting sensing capabilities. Furthermore, for radio access network sensing scenarios, in addition to radio access network elements registering relevant sensing capabilities with network repository function elements, the network side also needs to obtain sensing area information to provide it to sensing requesters (such as application function elements) for service subscription and sensing request initiation.

[0067] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0068] Please see Figure 1 The first aspect of this invention provides a method for reporting sensing capabilities, including the following steps S11 and S12:

[0069] Step S11: Receive a sensing capability reporting request message from any radio access network element; wherein the sensing capability reporting request message is used to carry at least one of sensing capability information and sensing area information.

[0070] Step S12: Report the currently received sensing capability information and / or sensing area information to a pre-configured sensing storage function network element; wherein, the sensing storage function network element is used to store the sensing capability information and the sensing area information.

[0071] Specifically, the sensing capability reporting method provided in this embodiment of the invention is executed by sensing network elements or sensing control plane function network elements. The sensing network element is a sensing function node in a non-C / U separation architecture scenario; the sensing control plane function network element is a sensing function control plane node in a C / U separation architecture; and the sensing user plane function network element is a sensing function user plane node in a C / U separation architecture, thereby meeting the sensing capability reporting service requirements under different deployment architectures. To facilitate unified data management and retrieval, this embodiment additionally sets up a sensing storage function network element, abbreviated as SRF (Sensing Repository Function), which is used to uniformly store sensing capability information and sensing area information, and convert the stored sensing capability information and sensing area information into structured data according to a preset format, supporting unified retrieval by other peripheral nodes such as network open function network elements. Furthermore, in wireless sensing scenarios, it is necessary to obtain the sensing range supported by the network to provide relevant information to sensing request parties such as application function network elements, facilitating the subscription and selection of sensing areas by sensing request parties to issue sensing requests. Therefore, the information reported in this embodiment will include sensing capability information and sensing area information, in order to construct sensing area range information or map based on geographical division.

[0072] It is worth noting that the SRF network element in this embodiment can be set up as an independent node, or it can be co-located with other nodes such as sensing network elements / sensing control plane function network elements. This embodiment does not specifically limit the deployment method of the SRF network element.

[0073] As a preferred embodiment, after receiving a sensing capability reporting request message from any radio access network element, the method further includes:

[0074] When it is detected that the sensing capability reporting request message only carries the sensing capability information, a sensing area information request message is sent to any one of the radio access network elements; the sensing area information request message is used to instruct any one of the radio access network elements to report the sensing area information.

[0075] When a sensing area information reporting request message is received from any of the wireless access network elements, the sensing area information carried in the sensing area information reporting request message is obtained.

[0076] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the sensing capability information and sensing area information can be reported simultaneously or in stages. Specifically, when the received sensing capability reporting request message from the radio access network element carries both sensing capability information and sensing area information, the sensing capability information and sensing area information are directly reported to the sensing storage function network element simultaneously. Alternatively, if the amount of sensing area information is large, it may be necessary to report it in stages. That is, if the received sensing capability reporting request message from the radio access network element only carries sensing capability information, the sensing capability information is first reported to the sensing storage function network element, and then a sensing area information request message is sent to that radio access network element to instruct it to report the sensing area information. Upon receiving the sensing area information reporting request message from the radio access network element, the sensing area information carried in the sensing area information reporting request message is obtained and reported to the sensing storage function network element, thereby achieving staged reporting of sensing capability information and sensing area information.

[0077] As a preferred embodiment, the method further includes:

[0078] Receive a sensing capability update request message from any of the radio access network elements; wherein the sensing capability update request message is used to carry at least one of sensing capability update information and sensing area update information;

[0079] The sensing storage function network element reports the currently received sensing capability update information and / or sensing area update information to the sensing storage function network element; wherein, the sensing storage function network element is further configured to update the currently stored sensing capability information and / or sensing area information based on the sensing capability update information and / or sensing area update information.

[0080] It is worth noting that when a wireless access network element needs to update sensing capability-related information, it will send a sensing capability update request message carrying at least one of sensing capability update information and sensing area update information. It is understood that the sensing capability update request message may carry both sensing capability update information and sensing area update information simultaneously, or, considering the large amount of sensing area update information, it may be reported in stages, carrying only sensing capability update information or sensing area update information. Further, in this embodiment, the currently received sensing capability update information and / or sensing area update information is reported to the sensing storage function network element, so that the sensing storage function network element can update the currently stored sensing capability information based on the sensing capability update information; and / or, update the currently stored sensing area information based on the sensing area update information.

[0081] As a preferred embodiment, after receiving the sensing capability update request message from any one of the radio access network elements, the method further includes:

[0082] When it is detected that the sensing capability update request message only carries the sensing capability update information, a sensing area update information request message is sent to any one of the radio access network elements; the sensing area update information request message is used to instruct any one of the radio access network elements to report the sensing area update information;

[0083] When a sensing area information update request message is received from any of the wireless access network elements, the sensing area update information carried in the sensing area information update request message is obtained.

[0084] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the sensing capability update information and sensing area update information can be reported simultaneously or in stages. Specifically, when the received sensing capability update request message from the radio access network element carries both sensing capability update information and sensing area update information, both are directly reported to the sensing storage function network element. Alternatively, if the amount of sensing area update information is large, and staged reporting is necessary, i.e., the received sensing capability update request message from the radio access network element only carries sensing capability update information, the sensing capability update information is first reported to the sensing storage function network element, and then a sensing area update information request message is sent to that radio access network element to instruct it to report the sensing area update information; upon receiving the sensing area update request message from that radio access network element, the sensing area update information carried in the sensing area update request message is obtained and reported to the sensing storage function network element, thereby achieving staged reporting of sensing capability update information and sensing area update information.

[0085] As a preferred embodiment, the method specifically receives the sensing capability reporting request message and the sensing capability update request message from any one of the radio access network elements through the following steps:

[0086] The sensing capability reporting request message and the sensing capability update request message are received directly from any of the radio access network elements; or...

[0087] The access and mobility management function network element receives the sensing capability reporting request message and the sensing capability update request message from any of the radio access network elements.

[0088] It is worth noting that sensor network architectures can be divided into two types: tightly coupled and loosely coupled. Currently, the tightly coupled architecture in the IMT2020 standard requires communication through the core network, including wireless sensing base stations interconnecting with sensing network elements / sensing control plane function network elements via access and mobility management (AML) network elements. The loosely coupled architecture, however, does not involve the core network, including wireless sensing base stations directly interconnecting with sensing network elements / sensing control plane function network elements without going through AML network elements. If, in actual deployment, there are simultaneous tight-coupled and loose-coupled requirements in the same sensing area, or if sensing base stations need to adjust between the two architectures, the sensing base stations must support both interfaces. To simplify the interface requirements of wireless base stations, this embodiment provides tightly coupled architectures that coordinate with the core network, with both methods of sensing capability reporting via AML network elements and without AML network elements. In actual deployment, one method can be selected based on network requirements. In the method without AML network elements, such as... Figure 2 The diagram illustrates a preferred embodiment of simultaneously reporting / updating sensing capability information and sensing area information without going through the access and mobility management function (AMF) network element. In this embodiment, RAN is a radio access network element, AMF is an AMF network element, SF is a sensing network element, SF-C is a sensing control plane function network element, NEF is a sensing capability open network element, and AF is an application function network element. In this approach, the sensing base station establishes a link with the sensing interface of the sensing network element / sensing control plane function network element. Therefore, this embodiment directly receives sensing capability reporting request messages and sensing capability update request messages from the radio access network element and then reports them to the sensing storage function network element. The sensing storage function network element stores / updates the sensing capability information and sensing area information and structures the data according to a preset format for easy querying by other surrounding nodes. Furthermore, the sensing storage function network element is also used to feed back response messages for the reporting / updating of sensing capability information and sensing area information. In this embodiment, upon receiving the response message, it directly feeds it back to the radio access network element.

[0089] like Figure 3The diagram illustrates a preferred embodiment of a step-by-step reporting / updating of sensing capability information and sensing area information without going through access and mobility management function network elements. Similarly, the sensing base station establishes a link with the sensing interface of the sensing network element / sensing control plane function network element. Thus, in this embodiment, the sensing capability reporting request message and sensing capability update request message are directly received from the radio access network element, and then the sensing capability information / sensing capability update information carried by these messages is reported to the sensing storage function network element. The sensing storage function network element stores / updates the sensing capability information and structures the data according to a preset format for easy querying by other surrounding nodes. Furthermore, the sensing storage function network element is also used to feed back a first response message for sensing capability information reporting / updating. In this embodiment, upon receiving the first response message, it directly feeds back to... At this point, the wireless access network element also needs to send a sensing area information request message or a sensing area update information request message to the wireless access network element. After responding to the request message, the wireless access network element reports a sensing area information reporting request message or a sensing area information update request message carrying sensing area information. Then, in this embodiment, the sensing area information / sensing area update information carried is reported to the sensing storage function network element. The sensing storage function network element stores / updates the sensing area information and structures the data according to a preset format to facilitate querying by other surrounding nodes. Furthermore, the sensing storage function network element is also used to feed back a second response message for sensing area information reporting / updating. In this embodiment, after receiving the second response message, it is directly fed back to the wireless access network element.

[0090] In the way of access and mobility management function network elements, such as Figure 4 The diagram illustrates a preferred embodiment of simultaneously reporting / updating sensing capability information and sensing area information via an access and mobility management function (AMU) network element. In this embodiment, the sensing base station establishes a connection with the AMU's sensing interface. The AMU receives sensing capability reporting request messages and sensing capability update request messages from the radio access network element and then reports them to the sensing storage function network element. The sensing storage function network element stores / updates the sensing capability information and sensing area information and structures the data according to a preset format for easy querying by other surrounding nodes. Furthermore, the sensing storage function network element also provides feedback on the reporting / updating of sensing capability information and sensing area information. In this embodiment, after receiving the feedback message, the AMU sends it back to the radio access network element.

[0091] like Figure 5The diagram illustrates a preferred embodiment of a step-by-step reporting / updating of sensing capability information and sensing area information via an access and mobility management function (AMU) network element. Similarly, the sensing base station establishes a link with the AMU's sensing interface. Therefore, in this embodiment, the AMU receives the sensing capability reporting request message and sensing capability update request message from the radio access network element, and then reports the sensing capability information / sensing capability update information carried by these messages to the sensing storage function network element. The sensing storage function network element stores / updates the sensing capability information and structures the data according to a preset format for easy querying by other surrounding nodes. Furthermore, the sensing storage function network element also provides a first response message for sensing capability information reporting / updating. In this embodiment, after receiving the first response message, the AMU feeds it back to the radio access network element. At this point, the access and mobility management function (AM) network element needs to send a sensing area information request message or a sensing area update information request message to the radio access network element. After responding to the request message, the radio access network element reports a sensing area information reporting request message or a sensing area information update request message carrying sensing area information via the AM network element. In this embodiment, the sensing area information / sensing area update information is then reported to the sensing storage function network element. The sensing storage function network element stores / updates the sensing area information and structures the data according to a preset format to facilitate querying by other surrounding nodes. Furthermore, the sensing storage function network element is also used to feed back a second response message for sensing area information reporting / updating. In this embodiment, after receiving the second response message, the AM network element feeds it back to the radio access network element.

[0092] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the wireless access network element discovers access and mobility management function network elements in the following ways: (1) The wireless access network element is statically configured with its own sensing access and mobility management function network element. If the sensing access and mobility management function network element is deployed in a disaster recovery mode, such as a group POOL or 1+1 disaster recovery mode, the sensing base station should support the configuration of data of all sensing access and mobility management function nodes that are mutually disaster recovery and support disaster recovery failover. (2) The discovery method based on the service interface, that is, the wireless access network element and its own sensing access and mobility management function network element support service discovery. It can discover its own access and mobility management function network element based on the sensing base station location information, such as TAI (Tracking Area Identity), province / region, and sensing capability (optional). When the access and mobility management function network element registers with the network repository function network element, it can optionally add information supporting sensing capability. (3) The discovery method based on the existing N2 interface, that is, the wireless access network element selects its own access and mobility management function network element to report sensing capability based on the N2 interface. For scenarios involving multiple interconnected access and mobility management function nodes that provide mutual disaster recovery, one or all of them can be selected for reporting based on predetermined rules.

[0093] The access and mobility management function network elements discover sensing network elements / sensing control plane function network elements in the following ways: (1) Discovery based on service-oriented interfaces, that is, sensing network elements / sensing control plane function network elements register with network repository function network elements. Access and mobility management function network elements and sensing network elements / sensing control plane function network elements support service discovery. Sensing network elements / sensing control plane function network elements can be discovered based on sensing base station location information (such as TAI, province / region information, etc.) and sensing capabilities (optional). (2) Access and mobility management function network elements are statically configured with their own sensing network elements / sensing control plane function network elements. If the own sensing network elements / sensing control plane function network elements are deployed in a disaster recovery mode, such as group POOL or 1+1 disaster recovery mode, access and mobility management function network elements should support the configuration of data of all their own sensing nodes / sensing control plane function nodes that are mutually disaster recovery, and support disaster recovery failover.

[0094] As a preferred embodiment, the sensing storage function network element is further configured to respond to the sensing area information update event subscription message of the sensing capability open network element, and report the sensing area update information to the sensing capability open network element, so that the sensing capability open network element can send the sensing area update information to the sensing demand party. In an optional embodiment, the sensing capability open network element in this embodiment is a network exposure function (NEF) network element.

[0095] As a preferred embodiment, before reporting the sensing capability information, the sensing area information, the sensing capability update information, and the sensing area update information to the sensing storage function network element, the method further includes:

[0096] The sensing and storage function network element is determined based on the pre-configured address information of its respective sensing and storage function network element; or,

[0097] Send a perception storage service discovery request message to the network repository function element; wherein, the perception storage service discovery request message includes target parameter information of the perception storage service, and the perception storage service discovery request message is used to instruct the network repository function element to query the perception storage function element that matches the target parameter information.

[0098] When a response message for the perception storage service discovery request message sent by the network repository function network element is received, the perception storage function network element is determined from the query result carried in the response message.

[0099] Specifically, in this embodiment, the methods for discovering sensing storage function network elements include static configuration and service discovery. For static configuration, the sensing storage function network element to be reported can be directly determined based on the pre-configured address information of its parent sensing storage function network element. For service discovery, since the sensing storage function network element has registered with the network storage repository function network element, it can send a sensing storage service discovery request message to the network storage repository function network element. This request message includes target parameter information for the sensing storage service, such as network function type, network function identifier, and target service area, to instruct the network storage repository function network element to query sensing storage function network elements matching the target parameter information. Then, based on the query results carried in the response message from the network storage repository function element, the sensing storage function network element to be reported is determined.

[0100] As a preferred embodiment, the sensing storage function network element is also used to send a sensing storage service registration request message to the network storage function network element; wherein, the sensing storage service registration request message includes preset sensing storage service parameter information.

[0101] Specifically, since the sensing storage function network element in this embodiment is a newly added node, it needs to register with the network repository function network element. This involves sending a sensing storage service registration request message to the network repository function network element. The sensing storage service parameter information includes network function parameters such as the standard-defined NF profile, NF service, and NF info, as well as supported service areas such as Serving Scope (which can be province / region information, etc.), TAI List, TAI Range List, and sensing capability support information parameters. These will not be elaborated further in this embodiment. As a newly added node, the sensing storage function network element in this embodiment can be named as a new NF type, i.e., named "sensing storage function network element".

[0102] Please see Figure 6 The second aspect of this invention provides a method for reporting sensing capabilities, including the following steps S21 and S22:

[0103] Step S21: Receive a sensing capability reporting request message from any radio access network element; wherein the sensing capability reporting request message is used to carry at least one of sensing capability information and sensing area information.

[0104] Step S22: Report the currently received sensing capability information and / or sensing area information to the sensing capability open network element; wherein, the sensing capability open network element is used to store the sensing capability information and the sensing area information.

[0105] Specifically, the sensing capability reporting method provided in this embodiment is executed by sensing network elements or sensing control plane function network elements to meet the sensing capability reporting service requirements under different deployment architectures. To facilitate unified data management and retrieval, this embodiment utilizes a sensing capability open network element to uniformly store sensing capability information and sensing area information, and converts the stored sensing capability information and sensing area information into structured data according to a preset format, supporting unified retrieval by other surrounding nodes. In an optional embodiment, the sensing capability open network element in this embodiment is a network open function network element, i.e., a NEF network element. Further, scenarios based on wireless sensing require obtaining the sensing range supported by the network to provide relevant information to sensing requesters such as application function network elements, facilitating their subscription to and selection of sensing areas for issuing sensing requests.

[0109] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the sensing capability information and sensing area information can be reported simultaneously or in stages. Specifically, when the received sensing capability reporting request message from the radio access network element carries both sensing capability information and sensing area information, both information are directly reported to the sensing capability open network element. Alternatively, if the amount of sensing area information is large, and staged reporting is necessary, i.e., the received sensing capability reporting request message from the radio access network element only carries sensing capability information, the sensing capability information is first reported to the sensing capability open network element, and then a sensing area information request message is sent to that radio access network element to instruct it to report the sensing area information. Upon receiving the sensing area information reporting request message from the radio access network element, the sensing area information carried in the request message is obtained and reported to the sensing capability open network element, thereby achieving staged reporting of sensing capability information and sensing area information.

[0113] It is worth noting that when a wireless access network element needs to update sensing capability-related information, it will send a sensing capability update request message carrying at least one of sensing capability update information and sensing area update information. It is understood that the sensing capability update request message may carry both sensing capability update information and sensing area update information simultaneously, or, considering the large amount of sensing area update information, it may be reported in stages, carrying only sensing capability update information or sensing area update information. Further, in this embodiment, the currently received sensing capability update information and / or sensing area update information is reported to the sensing capability open network element, so that the sensing capability open network element can update the currently stored sensing capability information based on the sensing capability update information; and / or, update the currently stored sensing area information based on the sensing area update information.

[0114] As a preferred embodiment, after receiving the sensing capability update request message from any one of the radio access network elements, the method further includes:

[0115] When it is detected that the sensing capability update request message only carries the sensing capability update information, a sensing area update information request message is sent to any one of the radio access network elements; the sensing area update information request message is used to instruct any one of the radio access network elements to report the sensing area update information;

[0116] When a sensing area information update request message is received from any of the wireless access network elements, the sensing area update information carried in the sensing area information update request message is obtained.

[0117] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the sensing capability update information and sensing area update information can be reported simultaneously or in stages. Specifically, when the received sensing capability update request message from the radio access network element carries both sensing capability update information and sensing area update information, both are directly reported to the sensing capability open network element. Alternatively, if the amount of sensing area update information is large, and staged reporting is necessary, i.e., the received sensing capability update request message from the radio access network element only carries sensing capability update information, the sensing capability update information is first reported to the sensing capability open network element, and then a sensing area update information request message is sent to that radio access network element to instruct it to report the sensing area update information; upon receiving the sensing area information update request message from that radio access network element, the sensing area update information carried in the sensing area information update request message is obtained and reported to the sensing capability open network element, thereby achieving staged reporting of sensing capability update information and sensing area update information.

[0118] As a preferred embodiment, the method specifically receives the sensing capability reporting request message and the sensing capability update request message from any one of the radio access network elements through the following steps:

[0119] The sensing capability reporting request message and the sensing capability update request message are received directly from any of the radio access network elements; or...

[0120] The access and mobility management function network element receives the sensing capability reporting request message and the sensing capability update request message from any of the radio access network elements.

[0121] Specifically, to simplify the interface requirements of wireless base stations, this embodiment provides a tightly coupled architecture that coordinates with the core network in two ways: reporting sensing capabilities via access and mobility management (MLM) network elements and reporting without access and mobility management (MLM) network elements. In actual deployment, one method can be selected based on network requirements. In the method without access and mobility management (MLM) network elements, such as... Figure 7 The diagram illustrates a preferred embodiment of simultaneously reporting / updating sensing capability information and sensing area information without going through the access and mobility management function network element. In this method, the sensing base station establishes a link with the sensing interface of the sensing network element / sensing control plane function network element. Thus, in this embodiment, the sensing capability reporting request message and sensing capability update request message are directly received from the radio access network element, and then reported to the sensing capability open network element. The sensing capability open network element stores / updates the sensing capability information and sensing area information, and performs data structuring according to a preset format to facilitate querying by other surrounding nodes. Furthermore, the sensing capability open network element is also used to feed back response messages for the reporting / updating of sensing capability information and sensing area information. In this embodiment, after receiving the response message, it is directly fed back to the radio access network element.

[0122] like Figure 8The diagram illustrates a preferred embodiment of the step-by-step reporting / updating of sensing capability information and sensing area information without going through access and mobility management function network elements. Similarly, the sensing base station establishes a link with the sensing interface of the sensing network element / sensing control plane function network element. Thus, in this embodiment, the sensing capability reporting request message and sensing capability update request message are directly received from the radio access network element, and then the sensing capability information / sensing capability update information carried by these messages is reported to the sensing capability open network element. The sensing capability open network element stores / updates the sensing capability information and structures the data according to a preset format for easy querying by other surrounding nodes. Furthermore, the sensing capability open network element is also used to feed back a first response message for sensing capability information reporting / updating. In this embodiment, upon receiving the first response message, it directly feeds back to... At this point, the wireless access network element also needs to send a sensing area information request message or a sensing area update information request message to the wireless access network element. After responding to the request message, the wireless access network element reports a sensing area information reporting request message or a sensing area information update request message carrying sensing area information. Then, in this embodiment, the sensing area information / sensing area update information it carries is reported to the sensing capability open network element. The sensing capability open network element stores / updates the sensing area information and structures the data according to a preset format to facilitate querying by other surrounding nodes. Furthermore, the sensing capability open network element is also used to feed back a second response message for sensing area information reporting / updating. In this embodiment, after receiving the second response message, it is directly fed back to the wireless access network element.

[0123] In the way of access and mobility management function network elements, such as Figure 9 The diagram illustrates a preferred embodiment of simultaneously reporting / updating sensing capability information and sensing area information via an Access and Mobility Management (AMM) network element. In this embodiment, the sensing base station establishes a connection with the AMM's sensing interface. The AMM receives sensing capability reporting request messages and sensing capability update request messages from the Radio Access Network (RAN) via the AMM and then reports them to the sensing capability open network element. The sensing capability open network element stores / updates the sensing capability information and sensing area information and structures the data according to a preset format for easy querying by other surrounding nodes. Furthermore, the sensing capability open network element also provides feedback on the reporting / updating of sensing capability information and sensing area information. In this embodiment, after receiving the feedback message, the AMM sends it back to the RNA network element.

[0124] like Figure 10The diagram illustrates a preferred embodiment of the step-by-step reporting / updating of sensing capability information and sensing area information via the Access and Mobility Management Function (AMS) network element. Similarly, the sensing base station establishes a link with the AMS network element's sensing interface. Therefore, in this embodiment, the AMS network element receives the sensing capability reporting request message and sensing capability update request message from the Radio Access Network (RAN) network element, and then reports the sensing capability information / sensing capability update information carried by these messages to the sensing capability open network element. The sensing capability open network element stores / updates the sensing capability information and structures the data according to a preset format for easy querying by other surrounding nodes. Furthermore, the sensing capability open network element also provides a first response message for sensing capability information reporting / updating. In this embodiment, after receiving the first response message, the AMS network element feeds it back to the RNA network element. At this point, the access and mobility management function (AM) network element needs to send a sensing area information request message or a sensing area update information request message to the radio access network element. After responding to the request message, the radio access network element reports a sensing area information reporting request message or a sensing area information update request message carrying sensing area information via the AM / AM network element. In this embodiment, the sensing area information / sensing area update information is then reported to the sensing capability open network element. The sensing capability open network element stores / updates the sensing area information and structures the data according to a preset format to facilitate querying by other surrounding nodes. Furthermore, the sensing capability open network element is also used to feed back a second response message for sensing area information reporting / updating. In this embodiment, after receiving the second response message, the AM / AM network element feeds it back to the radio access network element.

[0125] As a preferred embodiment, the open network element for sensing capabilities is also used to send the sensing area update information to the sensing demand party.

[0129] When a response message to the perception storage service discovery request message sent by the network repository function network element is received, the perception capability open network element is determined from the query result carried in the response message.

[0130] Specifically, in this embodiment, the methods for discovering open network elements with sensing capabilities include static configuration and service discovery. For static configuration, the open network element with sensing capabilities to be reported can be directly determined based on the pre-configured address information of its parent open network element. For service discovery, since the open network element with sensing capabilities has pre-registered with the network repository function network element, it can send a sensing storage service discovery request message to the network repository function network element. This request message includes target parameter information for the sensing storage service, such as network function type, network function identifier, and target service area, to instruct the network repository function network element to query open network elements with sensing capabilities matching the target parameter information. Then, based on the query results carried in the response message from the network repository function network element, the open network element with sensing capabilities to be reported is determined.

It is worth noting that, in the mode of passing through access and mobility management function network elements, the sensing access and mobility management function network element information refers to all access and mobility management function network elements responsible for sensing services belonging to the sensing base station, or the access and mobility management function node information reported in this instance; the sensing network element information refers to all sensing network element information belonging to the access and mobility management function network element as statically configured, or the sensing node information reported in this instance; the sensing control plane function network element information refers to all sensing control plane function network element information belonging to the access and mobility management function network element as statically configured, or the sensing control plane function node information reported in this instance.
