Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, specifically to a method and apparatus for determining and reporting interference information. Background Technology

[0002] The basic idea of ​​Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) is to introduce wireless sensing functionality into wireless mobile communication systems. Wireless sensing refers to sensing environmental information through wireless signals. This environmental information includes the distribution, size, and quantity of objects in the environment, temperature, human actions and behaviors, and even human breathing rate and heart rate. The principle of wireless sensing is to transmit wireless signals to the environment to be sensed, while simultaneously collecting the wireless signals after reflection, scattering, or multipath transmission through the environment at the receiving end. Because the collected wireless signals are influenced by the environment, they carry environmental information. After receiving the wireless signals carrying environmental information, complex signal processing allows for the reconstruction of the sensed environment on a computer, including identifying people and objects in the environment, detecting temperature, detecting human actions, and even breathing and heart rate. Wireless sensing can be used in fields such as personnel health monitoring and security.

[0003] The current 3GPP standard supports six sensing modes: base station A transmit-base station A receive, base station A transmit-base station B receive, terminal C transmit-terminal C receive, terminal C transmit-terminal D receive, base station transmit-terminal receive, and terminal transmit-base station receive. In an ideal sensing environment, the sensing signal is emitted by the sensing transmitter, reflected or scattered by the sensing target, and reaches the sensing receiver. However, in real-world sensing environments, some sensing signals may be emitted by the sensing transmitter without being reflected or scattered by any sensing target and are directly received and measured by the sensing receiver. Conversely, some sensing signals may be reflected or scattered by environmental objects without being reflected or scattered by any sensing target and are directly received and measured by the sensing receiver. This latter part of the signal constitutes interference in the target sensing process. Currently, existing technologies lack methods for determining and transmitting this interference information. If such interference exists in the sensing environment, it will affect the sensing accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0243] To better understand the purpose, features, and advantages of this disclosure, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is understood that the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments described herein. The embodiments described herein are merely for explaining this disclosure and are not intended to limit it. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this disclosure are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0244] It should be noted that in this application, relational terms such as "first" and "second", "base station A" and "base station B", "terminal C" and "terminal D" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or limit any binding relationship or order between these entities or operations.

[0245] For different sensing scenarios, sensing metrics can be categorized into multiple types. For example, metrics related to object detection include the number of detected objects, the success rate of object detection, and the target resolution; or positioning metrics include speed measurement, distance measurement, and angle measurement. In an ideal sensing environment, the sensing signal is emitted from the sensing transmitter, reflected or scattered by the sensing target, and reaches the sensing receiver. If there is a direct path between the sensing transmitter and the sensing receiver, such as... Figure 1 or Figure 2 As shown by the dashed line (---), the sensing signal is emitted from the sensing transmitter and received directly by the sensing receiver without passing through any sensing target. At this point, the received signal energy is relatively strong, posing a significant interference to the sensing target and severely affecting the measurement accuracy of the sensing indicators. In addition, signals reflected or scattered by the EO type-2 sensor without passing through the sensing target also cause strong interference to the sensing target, such as... Figure 1 or Figure 2 The double-dotted dashed line (-‥-) indicates that EO type-2 represents an environmental object with a known location, a static object, or an object capable of specular reflection of the signal. This disclosure proposes a method for determining and reporting interference information to improve the measurement accuracy or reliability of sensing measurements or results in sensing services.

[0246] Current 3GPP standards support base station (next generation Node B, gNB) A transmit-base station A receive (i.e., base station self-transmit and self-receive, see...). Figure 3A Base station A transmits - base station B receives (see...) Figure 3B ), Terminal (User Equipment, UE) C transmits - Terminal C receives (i.e., the terminal's self-transmitting and self-receiving, see Figure 3C Terminal C transmits - Terminal D receives (see...) Figure 3D ), base station transmit - terminal receive (see Figure 3E Terminal transmits - base station receives (see...) Figure 3F Six perception modes, including ( ). Figures 3A-3E This diagram illustrates six sensing modes. Among these six modes, the single-base sensing mode includes base station A transmit-base station A receive (i.e., self-transmitting and self-receiving by the base station) and terminal C transmit-terminal C receive (i.e., self-transmitting and self-receiving by the terminal). In single-base sensing mode, the transmitting and receiving ends are the same entity. The receiving end receives not only its own transmitted sensing reference signal but also sensing reference signals transmitted from other transmitting ends and / or signals from EO type-2. EO type-2 refers to environmental objects with known locations, static objects, or objects capable of specular reflection of signals. The dual-base sensing modes include base station A transmit-base station B receive, terminal C transmit-terminal D receive, base station transmit-terminal receive, and terminal transmit-base station receive. In dual-base sensing mode, the sensing signal received by the receiving end includes not only the portion reflected or scattered by the sensing target but also the portion that is not reflected or scattered by the sensing target and comes directly from the sensing transmitting end or EO type-2.

[0247] Specifically, the interference that may be involved in single-base sensing modes includes:

[0248] (1) Base station A transmits - Base station A receives: The transmitting and receiving ends of the sensing signal are the same base station entity, namely gNB1. gNB1 needs to receive the sensing signal it transmits, and may also receive sensing signals from base station gNB2 and / or EO type-2 reflected or scattered signals. The sensing signals transmitted by gNB2 and / or EO type-2 reflected or scattered signals are interference.

[0249] (2) Terminal C transmits - Terminal C receives: The transmitting and receiving ends of the sensing signal are the same terminal entity, namely UE1. UE1 needs to receive the sensing signal it sends, and may also receive the sensing signal from UE2 and / or the EO type-2 reflected or scattered signal. The sensing signal sent by UE2 and / or the EO type-2 reflected or scattered signal is interference.

[0250] Specifically, the interference that may be involved in dual-base sensing modes includes:

[0251] (1) Base station A transmit - base station B receive: direct path interference between base station A and base station B, and / or, EO type-2 reflected or scattered signals.

[0252] (2) Terminal C transmits to terminal D receives: direct path interference between terminal C and terminal D, and / or, EO type-2 reflected or scattered signals.

[0253] (3) Base station transmit-terminal receive: Direct path interference between the base station and the terminal, and / or, EO type-2 reflected or scattered signals.

[0254] (4) Terminal transmit-base station receive: Direct path interference between the terminal and the base station, and / or, EO type-2 reflected or scattered signals.

[0255] This disclosure proposes a method for determining and reporting interference information to improve the measurement accuracy or reliability of sensing measurements or results in sensing services. The core idea is that if there is direct path interference and / or environmental object type 2 (EO type-2) interference between the sensing transmitter and the sensing receiver in the sensing environment, this interference is reported as auxiliary information for the sensing service to the sensing server, which then processes it accordingly.

[0256] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining and reporting interference information according to an embodiment of this disclosure. This method is applied to a sensing receiver, which is a terminal or network device. Figure 4 As shown, the method for determining and reporting the interference information may include, but is not limited to, steps 401 and 402:

[0257] Step 401: Receive and measure the sensing reference signal according to the sensing reference signal configuration information to obtain the sensing measurement value;

[0258] Step 402: Send the sensing measurement value to the sensing server; or, determine the interference information based on the sensing measurement value; send the sensing measurement value and interference information to the sensing server; or, obtain the sensing result based on the sensing measurement value; determine the interference information based on the sensing result; send the sensing result and interference information to the sensing server.

[0259] If the sensing mode is a base station dual-base sensing mode, the base station location information is known. If the sensing mode is a terminal transmit-base station receive, or base station transmit-terminal receive, or terminal C transmit-terminal D receive sensing mode, then the base station location information is known, and the terminal can also perform positioning to determine its own location information. In other words, in any sensing mode, the location information of the sensing transmitter and the sensing receiver is known. The sensing receiver can use this known prior information to calculate the sensing results and determine interference information.

[0260] In one possible implementation, the sensing receiver can determine the interference information during the sensing process in the following two ways:

[0261] (1) The sensing receiver determines interference information based on one or more of the location information of the sensing transmitter, the location information of the sensing receiver, and the location information of the environmental object EOtype-2.

[0262] In one possible implementation, assuming the sensing transmitter is represented by Tx and the sensing receiver by Rx, then the distance between the calculated Rx and the sensing target is d. Rx-target The angle is AoA Rx-target ZoA Rx-target The distance between Rx and Tx is d. Rx-Tx The angle is AOA Rx-Tx ZoA Rx-Tx Wherein, the velocity of the perceived target is v. tar The speed of the sensing transmitter Tx is v Tx .

[0263] |d Rx-target -d Rx-Tx |≤d thr (4-1)

[0264] |AoA Rx-target -AoA Rx-Tx |≤AoA thr (4-2)

[0265] |ZoA Rx-target -ZoA Rx-Tx |≤ZoA thr (4-3)

[0266] |v tar -v Tx |≤v thr (4-4)

[0267] Assume the distance between the calculated Rx and the perceived target is d. Rx-target The angle is AoA Rx-target ZoARx-target The distance between Rx and EO type-2 is d. Rx-EO The angle is AoA Rx-EO ZoA Rx-EO Wherein, the velocity of the perceived target is v. tar The velocity of the environmental object EO type-2 is v EO .

[0268] |d Rx-target -d Rx-EO |≤d thr (4-5)

[0269] |AoA Rx-target -AoA Rx-EO |≤AoA thr (4-6)

[0270] |ZoA Rx-target -ZoA Rx-EO |≤ZoA thr (4-7)

[0271] |v tar -v EO |≤v thr (4-8)

[0272] d thr AoA thr ZoA thr and v thr These are the range threshold, azimuth threshold, zenith angle threshold, and velocity threshold, which can be configured by higher-level units. If one or more of formulas (4-1), (4-2), (4-3), and (4-4) are true, then the sensing receiver Rx determines that there is direct-path interference between the sensing transmitter and the sensing receiver. If one or more of formulas (4-5), (4-6), (4-7), and (4-8) are true, then the sensing receiver Rx determines that there is interference from EO type-2. Taking interference from EO type-2 as an example, if one or more of the above formulas (4-5), (4-6), (4-7), and (4-8) are true, interference is determined to exist because the sensing target and EO type-2 may be indistinguishable in the time domain, but distinguishable in the angular domain or Doppler domain.

[0273] (2) The sensing receiver determines the interference information based on historical sensing measurement values ​​or historical sensing results.

[0274] In one possible implementation, the sensing receiver Rx can also determine whether there is direct path interference and / or EO type-2 interference based on historical measurement information at multiple times and sensing results. For example, in the base station dual-base sensing mode (i.e., base station A transmits - base station B receives) in the Uma scenario, the presence of direct path interference can be determined based on the fact that the sensing transceivers are deployed at the same height and the ZoA measurement values ​​remain unchanged at multiple times but there is a peak in the distance Doppler spectrum.

[0275] In one possible implementation, the sensing receiver can solve the sensed measurement values ​​to obtain the sensing results.

[0276] In one possible implementation, the sensing receiver can filter valid sensing measurement values ​​based on interference information, perform calculations to obtain the sensing result, and report the sensing result to the sensing server to further improve the sensing accuracy.

[0277] Optionally, in conjunction with the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the interference information is a soft value, a hard value, or a metric value.

[0278] Optionally, in conjunction with any one or more of the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the interference information is any value among 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 1, 1.2, 1.5, 1.6, or 2; wherein, the larger the value of the interference information, the greater or smaller the probability of interference; or,

[0279] The interference information is either 0 or 1; where 1 corresponds to strong interference, and 0 corresponds to weak interference or no interference; or, 0 corresponds to strong interference, and 1 corresponds to weak interference or no interference; or,

[0280] Interference information includes at least one of the following: absolute interference strength value, relative interference strength value, interference strength value in dB, and the difference in strength between the interference and the sensed signal.

[0281] In one possible implementation, the interference information can be a soft or hard value between 0 and 1, or another measure representing the probability of interference. If the interference information is a soft value between 0 and 1, a larger value indicates a higher or lower probability of interference. For example, the interference information can be a value in the set of values ​​(0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7) with a step size of 0.2, or a value in the set of values ​​(0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8) with a step size of 0.2, or a value in the set of values ​​(0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6) with a step size of 0.4, or a value in a set of values ​​with other step sizes. If the interference information is a hard value of 0 or 1, for example, if the interference information is a value in the set (0, 1), then 1 corresponds to strong interference, 0 corresponds to weak interference or no interference, or 0 corresponds to strong interference, 1 corresponds to weak interference or no interference. If the interference information is another metric, it can be the absolute strength of the interference, such as an interference strength value in dB, or the relative strength of the interference, such as the difference in strength relative to the sensed signal.

[0282] In one possible implementation, when the interference information is a soft value, if only one of the discriminants in formulas (4-1) to (4-4) is true, the interference information can be a value from the set of values ​​(0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7) with a step size of 0.2, or a value from the set of values ​​(0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8) with a step size of 0.2; if two of the discriminants in formulas (4-1) to (4-4) are true, the interference information can be a value from the set of values ​​(0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6) with a step size of 0.4, and so on. Alternatively, since the interference information is a soft value, it can be determined by the ratio of the received path power of the reference signal, or by the peak ratio of the range-Doppler spectrum.

[0283] In one possible implementation, if the interference information is a hard value, the sensing receiver can discard sensing measurements with an interference value of 1. If the interference information is a soft value, the sensing receiver can discard sensing measurements with interference values ​​less than 0.5 or other specified values. The sensing receiver recalculates based solely on the remaining sensing measurements after discarding them and reports the recalculated sensing results to the sensing server to improve sensing accuracy.

[0284] Optionally, in conjunction with any one or more of the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the method for determining and reporting the interference information may further include step 403:

[0285] Send sensing measurement values ​​and interference information to the sensing server, including any one of the following:

[0286] The sensing measurement values ​​and interference information are sent to the sensing server in the same message;

[0287] Sensing measurement values ​​and interference information are sent to the sensing server in different messages;

[0288] The identification and interference information of the sensing reference signal are sent to the sensing server in the same message;

[0289] In the same message, the identifier of the sensing reference signal, the sensing measurement value, and the interference information are sent to the sensing server.

[0290] In one possible implementation, interference information can be reported simultaneously with the sensed measurement value (i.e., interference information and sensed measurement value are reported in the same message) or independently. This reporting method depends on the device's capabilities, specifically whether the sensing receiver has the ability to perform sensing and computation. Optionally, interference information can be associated with the identifier ID of a sensed reference signal and configured for the sensing receiver. Optionally, the associated sensed reference signal ID can also be reported simultaneously when reporting interference information.

[0291] Optionally, in conjunction with any one or more of the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the method for determining and reporting the interference information may further include step 404:

[0292] Send the sensing results and interference information to the sensing server, including any one of the following:

[0293] The sensing results and interference information are sent to the sensing server in the same message;

[0294] Send sensing results and interference information to the sensing server in different messages;

[0295] The identification and interference information of the sensing reference signal are sent to the sensing server in the same message;

[0296] In the same message, the identifier of the sensing reference signal, the sensing result, and the interference information are sent to the sensing server.

[0297] Optionally, interference information can be reported simultaneously with the sensing results (i.e., interference information and sensing results are reported in the same message) or independently. This reporting method depends on the device's capabilities, specifically whether the sensing receiver has the ability to perform sensing and computation. Optionally, interference information can be associated with the identifier ID of the sensing reference signal and configured for the sensing receiver. Optionally, the associated sensing reference signal ID can also be reported simultaneously when reporting interference information.

[0298] Optionally, in conjunction with any one or more of the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the interference information includes: direct path interference information between the sensing transmitter and the sensing receiver, and / or interference information from environmental objects.

[0299] Optionally, in conjunction with any one or more of the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the method for determining and reporting the interference information may further include step 405:

[0300] Identify interference information, including:

[0301] Interference information is determined based on one or more of the following: location information of the sensing transmitter, location information of the sensing receiver, and location information of environmental objects; and / or,

[0302] Interference information is determined based on historical sensing measurements or historical sensing results.

[0303] Optionally, in conjunction with any one or more of the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the method for determining and reporting the interference information may further include step 406:

[0304] Send one or more of the following information to the perception server:

[0305] Information on the reliability of the perception results;

[0306] The identification information of the sensing transmitter and / or sensing receiver corresponding to the sensing result;

[0307] Sensing the receiving beam identification information at the receiving end;

[0308] The effective time range of the perceived results;

[0309] The timestamp of the perceived result.

[0310] Optionally, in conjunction with any one or more of the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the sensed measurement values ​​may include one or more combinations of time delay (e.g., Time of Arrival (TOA), Relative Time of Arrival (RTOA), Reference Signal Time Difference (RSTD), Phase (e.g., Reference Signal Carrier Phase (RSCP), Reference Signal Carrier Phase Difference (RSCPD), Reference Signal Carrier Phase Double Difference (RSCPDD), Received Signal Power (e.g., Reference Signal Receive Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Receive Path Power (RSRPP)), Transmit / Receive Time Difference, and Channel Frequency Domain Response).

[0311] Optionally, in conjunction with any one or more of the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the perception result may include one or more of the following: distance, speed, angle (e.g., azimuth angle of arrival (AoA) and zenith angle of arrival (ZoA)), location coordinates, number of target detections, and target detection success rate.

[0312] Currently, there is a lack of methods for identifying and reporting interference information in sensing services. If there is direct interference from the sensing receiver and transmitter or interference from environmental objects (EO type-2), it will affect the sensing accuracy. This solution proposes a method for identifying and reporting interference information to improve the measurement accuracy or reliability of sensing measurements or results in sensing services.

[0313] Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining and reporting interference information according to an embodiment of this disclosure. This method is applied to a sensing server and may include, but is not limited to, steps 501 and 502.

[0314] Step 501: Receive the sensing measurement value sent by the sensing receiver; obtain the sensing result based on the sensing measurement value; determine the interference information based on the sensing result; or, receive the sensing measurement value and interference information sent by the sensing receiver; or, receive the sensing result and interference information sent by the sensing receiver.

[0315] The sensed measurement value is obtained by measuring the sensed reference signal.

[0316] Step 502: Based on the interference information, perform one or more of the following operations:

[0317] The sensing transmitter and sensing receiver for the next sensing service are determined based on the interference information.

[0318] The sensing transmitter and sensing receiver corresponding to the sensing link with interference information of 1 or 0 are determined as the sensing transmitter and sensing receiver for the next sensing service.

[0319] The sensing transmitter and sensing receiver corresponding to the sensing link with the specified interference information value are determined as the sensing transmitter and sensing receiver for the next sensing service.

[0320] The interference information is sent to the sensing transmitter and sensing receiver of the next sensing service.

[0321] The interference information is processed, and the processing result is fed back to the terminal.

[0322] In one possible implementation, during a one-to-many cooperative sensing process, multiple sensing receivers can jointly report their respective interference information to the sensing server. The sensing server can then perform one or more of the following operations based on the interference information:

[0323] (1) Based on interference information, the sensing server determines the sensing and receiving nodes or beam transmission direction for the next sensing service, in order to reduce interference and thus improve sensing accuracy; and / or,

[0324] (2) The sensing server or sensing receiver filters out valid sensing measurement values ​​based on interference information, and then performs calculations to obtain sensing results, which are used to further improve sensing accuracy.

[0325] The sensing server determines whether the interference information is a soft or hard value. If the interference information is determined to be a hard value, the sensing server (SF) only identifies the receiving and transmitting nodes (i.e., sensing receivers and sensing transmitters) corresponding to sensing links with interference information of 1 or 0 as the sensing receiving and transmitting nodes (i.e., sensing receivers and sensing transmitters) for the next sensing service. If the interference information is a soft value, the sensing server (SF) determines the sensing receiving and transmitting nodes for the next sensing service based on the interference information. The sensing server (SF) can also send the interference information to new sensing receiving and transmitting nodes. The sensing server (SF) performs big data processing based on the interference information: based on the input interference information from previous times, it evaluates the accuracy of sensing service receiving and transmitting nodes, generates a predictive output of whether the receiving and transmitting nodes corresponding to each sensing link are interfered with, and adjusts the d based on the results. thr AoA thr ZoA thr and v thr (Distance threshold, horizontal incident angle threshold, vertical incident angle threshold, and velocity threshold), and feed them back to the UE.

[0326] To achieve the goal of big data processing, the commonly used models for perception servers include one or more of the following:

[0327] (1) Linear regression model: The weights are adjusted according to the feedback data, and the weights can be updated through methods such as gradient descent;

[0328] (2) Neural Network: After predicting the output, the network weights are adjusted according to the error (loss function) through the backpropagation algorithm.

[0329] (3) Reinforcement learning model: After each prediction, the model is updated by reward or punishment.

[0330] Optionally, in conjunction with any one or more of the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the interference information is a soft value, a hard value, or a metric.

[0331] Optionally, in conjunction with any one or more of the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the interference information is any value among 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 1, 1.2, 1.5, 1.6, or 2; wherein, the larger the value of the interference information, the greater or smaller the probability of interference; or,

[0332] The interference information is either 0 or 1; where 1 corresponds to strong interference, and 0 corresponds to weak interference or no interference; or, 0 corresponds to strong interference, and 1 corresponds to weak interference or no interference; or,

[0333] Interference information includes at least one of the following: absolute interference strength value, relative interference strength value, interference strength value in dB, and the difference in strength between the interference and the sensed signal.

[0334] In one possible implementation, the interference information can be a soft or hard value between 0 and 1, or another measure representing the probability of interference. If the interference information is a soft value between 0 and 1, a larger value indicates a higher or lower probability of interference. For example, the interference information can be a value in the set of values ​​(0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7) with a step size of 0.2, or a value in the set of values ​​(0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8) with a step size of 0.2, or a value in the set of values ​​(0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6) with a step size of 0.4, or a value in a set of values ​​with other step sizes. If the interference information is a hard value of 0 or 1, for example, if the interference information is a value in the set (0, 1), then 1 corresponds to strong interference, 0 corresponds to weak interference or no interference, or 0 corresponds to strong interference, 1 corresponds to weak interference or no interference. If the interference information is another metric, it can be the absolute strength of the interference, such as an interference strength value in dB, or the relative strength of the interference, such as the difference in strength relative to the sensed signal.

[0335] In one possible implementation, when the interference information is a soft value, if only one of the discriminants in formulas (4-1) to (4-4) is true, the interference information can be a value from the set of values ​​(0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7) with a step size of 0.2, or a value from the set of values ​​(0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8) with a step size of 0.2; if two of the discriminants in formulas (4-1) to (4-4) are true, the interference information can be a value from the set of values ​​(0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6) with a step size of 0.4, and so on. Alternatively, since the interference information is a soft value, it can be determined by the ratio of the received path power of the reference signal, or by the peak ratio of the range-Doppler spectrum.

[0336] In one possible implementation, if the interference information is a hard value, the sensing server can discard sensing measurements with an interference value of 1. If the interference information is a soft value, the sensing receiver can discard sensing measurements with interference values ​​less than 0.5 or other specified values. The sensing server recalculates the results based solely on the remaining sensing measurements after discarding the interference values, thereby improving sensing accuracy.

This solution proposes a method for identifying and reporting interference information to improve the measurement accuracy or reliability of sensing measurements or results in sensing services.

[0364] Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining and reporting interference information according to an embodiment of this disclosure. This method is applied to scenarios where the terminal or base station has sensing and calculation capabilities, and can calculate sensing results and / or interference information based on sensing measurement values. Figure 6As shown, the method for determining and reporting the interference information may include, but is not limited to, steps 601, 602, 603, 604, 605, 606, 607, and 608:

[0365] Step 601: The sensing transmitter periodically, semi-continuously, or non-periodically sends the sensing reference signal to the sensing target according to the configuration information of the sensing reference signal.

[0366] The sensing transmitter can be a terminal or a base station. The sensing reference signal is a type of sensing signal.

[0367] Step 602: The sensing receiver receives and measures the sensing reference signal according to the sensing reference signal configuration information to obtain the sensing measurement value.

[0372] Step 604: The sensing receiver determines the interference information based on the sensing results.

[0373] For details on the steps of determining interference information at the sensing receiver, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 The relevant description of step 402 in the method for determining and reporting interference information shown is not repeated here.

[0374] Step 605: The sensing receiver reports the sensing results and interference information together to the sensing server (SensingFunction, SF).

[0375] Optionally, interference information can be reported simultaneously with the sensing results (i.e., interference information and sensing results are reported in the same message) or independently. This reporting method depends on the device's capabilities, specifically whether the sensing receiver has the ability to perform sensing and computation. Optionally, interference information can be associated with the identifier ID of the sensing reference signal and configured for the sensing receiver. Optionally, the associated sensing reference signal ID can also be reported simultaneously when reporting interference information.

[0376] In one possible implementation, the sensing receiver filters valid sensing measurements based on interference information, performs calculations, and obtains sensing results to further improve sensing accuracy.

[0377] Optionally, if the interference information is a hard value, the sensing receiver can discard sensing measurements with an interference value of 1. Optionally, if the interference information is a soft value, the sensing receiver can discard sensing measurements with an interference value less than 0.5 or less than other specified values. The sensing receiver recalculates based only on the remaining sensing measurements after discarding them and reports the recalculated sensing results to the sensing server to improve sensing accuracy.

[0378] Step 606: The sensing receiver will also report one or more of the following information to the sensing server:

[0379] Information on the reliability of the perception results;

[0380] The identification information of the sensing transmitter and / or sensing receiver corresponding to the sensing result;

[0381] Sensing the receiving beam identification information at the receiving end;

[0382] The effective time range of the perceived results;

[0383] The timestamp of the perceived result.

[0384] Step 607: The sensing server receives the sensing results and interference information reported by the sensing receiver.

[0385] In one possible implementation, during a one-to-many cooperative sensing process, multiple sensing receivers can jointly report their respective interference information to the sensing server. The sensing server can then perform one or more of the following operations based on the interference information:

[0386] (1) Based on interference information, the sensing server determines the sensing and receiving nodes or beam transmission direction for the next sensing service, in order to reduce interference and thus improve sensing accuracy; and / or,

[0387] (2) The sensing server or sensing receiver filters out valid sensing measurement values ​​based on interference information, and then performs calculations to obtain sensing results, which are used to further improve sensing accuracy.

[0388] Step 608: Based on the interference information, the sensing server performs one or more of the following operations:

[0389] The sensing server determines the sensing and receiving nodes (i.e., sensing sender and sensing receiver) for the next sensing service based on the interference information.

[0390] The sensing server determines the receiving and transmitting nodes (i.e., sensing sender and sensing receiver) corresponding to the sensing link with interference information of 1 or 0 as the sensing receiving and transmitting nodes (i.e., sensing sender and sensing receiver) for the next sensing service.

[0391] The sensing transmitter and sensing receiver corresponding to the sensing link with the specified interference information value are determined as the sensing transmitter and sensing receiver for the next sensing service; for example, the specified value is any one of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.5, 1.6, 2.0.

[0392] The sensing server will send the interference information to the sensing and transmitting nodes for the next sensing service;

[0393] The sensing server performs big data processing based on the interference information and feeds the processing results back to the terminal.

[0394] The sensing server determines whether the interference information is a soft or hard value. If the interference information is determined to be a hard value, the sensing server (SF) only identifies the receiving and transmitting nodes (i.e., sensing receivers and sensing transmitters) corresponding to sensing links with interference information of 1 or 0 as the sensing receiving and transmitting nodes (i.e., sensing receivers and sensing transmitters) for the next sensing service. If the interference information is a soft value, the sensing server (SF) determines the sensing receiving and transmitting nodes for the next sensing service based on the interference information. The sensing server (SF) can also send the interference information to new sensing receiving and transmitting nodes. The sensing server (SF) performs big data processing based on the interference information: based on the input interference information from previous times, it evaluates the accuracy of sensing service receiving and transmitting nodes, generates a predictive output of whether the receiving and transmitting nodes corresponding to each sensing link are interfered with, and adjusts the d based on the results. thr AoA thr ZoA thr and v thr (Distance threshold, horizontal incident angle threshold, vertical incident angle threshold, and velocity threshold), and feed them back to the UE.

[0395] To achieve the goal of big data processing, the commonly used models for perception servers include one or more of the following:

[0396] (1) Linear regression model: The weights are adjusted according to the feedback data, and the weights can be updated through methods such as gradient descent;

[0397] (2) Neural Network: After predicting the output, the network weights are adjusted according to the error (loss function) through the backpropagation algorithm.

[0398] (3) Reinforcement learning model: After each prediction, the model is updated by reward or punishment.

[0399] It should be noted that the above embodiment is a preferred embodiment proposed in this disclosure. In actual application scenarios, one or more of steps 601 to 608 may be optional steps. That is, the embodiment obtained when one or more of steps 601 to 608 are not present still falls within the protection scope of this disclosure. This disclosure does not limit whether steps 601 to 608 are mandatory steps.

[0400] Currently, there is a lack of methods for determining and reporting interference information in sensing services. If there is direct interference from the sensing receiver and transmitter or EO type-2 interference from environmental objects in the sensing environment, it will affect the sensing accuracy. This solution proposes a method for determining and reporting interference information applicable to terminals or base stations with sensing calculation functions, which can calculate sensing results and / or interference information based on sensing measurements. This method aims to improve the measurement accuracy or reliability of sensing measurements or results in sensing services.

[0401] Figure 7 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining and reporting interference information according to an embodiment of this disclosure. This method is applicable to scenarios where the terminal or base station lacks sensing and calculation capabilities, and can only report sensing measurement values ​​to a sensing server. The sensing server then calculates the sensing results and / or interference information based on these measurement values. Figure 7 As shown, the method for determining and reporting this interference information may include, but is not limited to, steps 701, 702, 703, 704, 705, 706, 707, and 708:

[0402] Step 701: The sensing transmitter periodically, semi-continuously, or non-periodically sends the sensing reference signal to the sensing target according to the configuration information of the sensing reference signal.

[0403] The sensing transmitter can be a terminal or a base station. The sensing reference signal is a type of sensing signal.

[0404] Step 702: The sensing receiver receives and measures the sensing reference signal according to the sensing reference signal configuration information to obtain the sensing measurement value.

[0405] The sensing receiver can be a terminal or a base station.

[0406] In one possible implementation, the sensed measurements include one or more of the following combinations: Time of Arrival (TOA), Relative Time of Arrival (RTOA), Reference Signal Time Difference (RSTD), Reference Signal Phase (RSCP), Reference Signal Phase Difference (RSCPD), Reference Signal Double Difference Phase (RSCPDD), Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Received Path Power (RSRPP), Transmit / Receive Time Difference, and Channel Frequency Domain Response.

[0407] Step 703: The sensing receiver reports the sensing measurement values ​​to the sensing server.

[0408] In one possible implementation, the sensing receiver can filter valid sensing measurements and report the filtered sensing measurements to the sensing server to further improve sensing accuracy.

[0409] Step 704: The sensing receiver will also report one or more of the following information to the sensing server:

[0410] Information on the reliability of the perception results;

[0411] The identification information of the sensing transmitter and / or sensing receiver corresponding to the sensing result;

[0412] Sensing the receiving beam identification information at the receiving end;

[0413] The effective time range of the perceived results;

[0414] The timestamp of the perceived result.

[0415] Step 705: The sensing server receives the sensing measurement values ​​reported by the sensing receiver.

[0416] Step 706: The perception server calculates the perceived measurement values ​​to obtain the perception results.

[0417] Optionally, the perception results may include one or more of the following combinations: distance, speed, angle, azimuth angle AoA, zenith angle ZoA, position coordinates, number of target detections, and target detection success rate.

[0418] Step 707: The perception server determines the interference information based on the perception results.

[0419] For details on the steps of determining interference information at the sensing receiver, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 The relevant description of step 402 in the method for determining and reporting interference information shown is not repeated here.

[0420] In one possible implementation, the interference information can be a soft or hard value between 0 and 1, or another measure representing the probability of interference. If the interference information is a soft value between 0 and 1, a larger value indicates a higher or lower probability of interference. For example, the interference information can be a value in the set of values ​​(0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7) with a step size of 0.2, or a value in the set of values ​​(0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8) with a step size of 0.2, or a value in the set of values ​​(0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6) with a step size of 0.4, or a value in a set of values ​​with other step sizes. If the interference information is a hard value of 0 or 1, for example, if the interference information is a value in the set of values ​​(0, 1), then 1 corresponds to strong interference, 0 corresponds to weak interference or no interference, or 0 corresponds to strong interference, 1 corresponds to weak interference or no interference. If the interference information is another metric, it can be the absolute strength of the interference, such as an interference strength value in dB, or the relative strength of the interference, such as the difference in strength relative to the sensed signal.

[0421] In one possible implementation, when the interference information is a soft value, if only one of the discriminants in formulas (4-1) to (4-4) is true, the interference information can be a value from the set of values ​​(0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7) with a step size of 0.2, or a value from the set of values ​​(0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8) with a step size of 0.2; if two of the discriminants in formulas (4-1) to (4-4) are true, the interference information can be a value from the set of values ​​(0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6) with a step size of 0.4, and so on. Alternatively, since the interference information is a soft value, it can be determined by the ratio of the received path power of the reference signal, or by the peak ratio of the range-Doppler spectrum.

[0422] In one possible implementation, if the interference information is a hard value, the sensing server can discard sensing measurements with an interference value of 1. If the interference information is a soft value, the sensing receiver can discard sensing measurements with interference values ​​less than 0.5 or other specified values. The sensing server recalculates the results based solely on the remaining sensing measurements after discarding the interference values, thereby improving sensing accuracy.

[0423] Step 708: Based on the interference information, the sensing server performs one or more of the following operations:

[0424] The sensing server determines the sensing and transmitting nodes for the next sensing service based on the interference information.

[0425] The sensing server determines the sensing receiving and transmitting nodes corresponding to the sensing links with interference information of 1 or 0 as the sensing receiving and transmitting nodes for the next sensing service.

[0426] The sensing server determines the sensing receiving and transmitting nodes corresponding to the sensing link with interference information of a specified value as the sensing receiving and transmitting nodes for the next sensing service; for example, the specified value is any value among 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.5, 1.6, and 2.0.

[0427] The sensing server will send the interference information to the sensing and transmitting nodes for the next sensing service;

[0428] The sensing server performs big data processing based on the interference information and feeds the processing results back to the terminal.

[0429] The sensing server determines whether the interference information is a soft or hard value. If the interference information is determined to be hard, the sensing server (SF) only identifies the receiving and transmitting nodes (i.e., sensing receivers and sensing transmitters) corresponding to sensing links with interference information of 1 or 0 as the sensing receiving and transmitting nodes (i.e., sensing receivers and sensing transmitters) for the next sensing service. If the interference information is soft, the sensing server (SF) determines the sensing receiving and transmitting nodes for the next sensing service based on the interference information. The sensing server (SF) can also send the interference information to new sensing receiving and transmitting nodes. The sensing server (SF) performs big data processing based on the interference information: based on the input interference information from previous times, it evaluates the accuracy of sensing service receiving and transmitting nodes, generates a predictive output of whether the receiving and transmitting nodes corresponding to each sensing link are interfered with, and adjusts the d based on the results. thr AoA thr ZoA thr and v thr (Distance threshold, horizontal incident angle threshold, vertical incident angle threshold, and velocity threshold), and feed them back to the UE.

[0430] To achieve the goal of big data processing, the commonly used models for perception servers include one or more of the following:

[0431] (1) Linear regression model: The weights are adjusted according to the feedback data, and the weights can be updated through methods such as gradient descent;

[0432] (2) Neural Network: After predicting the output, the network weights are adjusted according to the error (loss function) through the backpropagation algorithm.

[0433] (3) Reinforcement learning model: After each prediction, the model is updated by reward or punishment.

[0434] It should be noted that the above embodiment is a preferred embodiment proposed in this disclosure. In actual application scenarios, one or more of steps 701 to 708 may be optional steps. That is, the embodiment obtained when one or more of steps 701 to 708 are not present still falls within the protection scope of this disclosure. This disclosure does not limit whether steps 701 to 708 are mandatory steps.

[0435] Currently, there is a lack of methods for determining and reporting interference information in sensing services.
