Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments that a person skilled in the art can obtain without any creative effort fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0020] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a sensing measurement setup method, an electronic device, and a storage medium to provide a way for a STA and an AP to negotiate the time interval of a sensing measurement instance.

[0021] Since the method and the apparatus are based on the concept of the same application and the problem-solving principles of the method and the apparatus are similar, the implementations of the apparatus and the method can refer to each other, and the overlapping points will not be described again.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 1 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a sensing measurement setup method, optionally, the method can be applied to a station device, and the method can include the following steps:

[0023] In step 101, Sensing Measurement Setup Request Frame (sensing measurement setup request frame) and Sensing Two consecutive sensing measurement instances in a measurement setup request frame Between First time interval information is conveyed; The first time interval information is Between the two consecutive sensing measurement instances a first time interval value; and a maximum value of the first time interval value; and a minimum value of the first time interval value.

[0024] As a first example, referring to FIGS. 2 to 4, we first describe the architecture and process of WLAN sensing to which the sensing measurement setup method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is applied.

[0025] 2 shows a schematic diagram of the architecture of WLAN Sensing (process), in which a sensing initiator (or initiator) starts WLAN Sensing (e.g., starts a WLAN sensing session), and multiple sensing responders (or sensing receivers) or responders may respond, such as Responder 1, Responder 2, and Responder 3 shown in FIG. 2. When a sensing initiator starts WLAN Sensing, multiple associated or unassociated WLAN Sensing sensing responders can respond.

[0026] Referring to FIG. 3, communication between the sensing initiator and the sensing responder occurs via a communication connection as shown by communication connection S1, and communication between the sensing responders occurs via communication connection S2.

[0027] Each sensing initiator may be a client, and each sensing responder (in this example, Sensing Responder 1 to Sensing Responder 3) may be a station device (STA) or an access point device (AP). Furthermore, STAs and APs can play multiple roles in the WLAN sensing process. For example, in the WLAN sensing process, a STA may be a sensing initiator, and the sensing initiator may be a sensing transmitter, a sensing receiver, both, or neither. In the WLAN sensing process, a sensing responder may be a sensing transmitter, a sensing receiver, or both.

[0028] As another architecture, as shown in Figure 4, the sensing initiator and the sensing responder can both be clients, and they can communicate by connecting to the same access point device (AP). In Figure 4, Client1 is the sensing initiator and Client2 is the sensing responder.

[0029] Generally, WLAN sensing processes include trigger-based (TB) and non-trigger-based (NTB) sensing. Specifically, the TB method means that the AP is the initiator or transmitter, and the NTB method means that the STA is the initiator or transmitter. In NTB sensing, each measurement setup (MS) may contain multiple sensing measurement instances, and consecutive sensing measurements Instance The occurrence of each sensing measurement instance requires a time interval. Optionally, the occurrence time interval of each sensing measurement instance can be determined according to the needs of the upper application. For example, there may be a minimum or maximum time interval.

[0031] Optionally, the first time interval information is carried in a sensing measurement parameters information element.

[0032] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the STA Sensing Sending a measurement setup request frame, Sensing Two consecutive sensing measurement instances in a measurement setup request frame Between The first time interval information is carried, which enables the STA and AP to negotiate the time interval of the sensing measurement instance in the MS setup process, and improves the NTB sensing measurement signaling process to meet the requirements of wireless sensing.

[0033] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a sensing measurement setup method, optionally applicable to a station device, the method comprising: Sensing transmitting a measurement setup request frame, Sensing Two consecutive sensing measurement instances in a measurement setup request frame Between conveying first time interval information; The first time interval information is Between the two consecutive sensing measurement instances a first time interval value; and a maximum value of the first time interval value; and a minimum value of the first time interval value.

[0034] The first time interval information includes first identification information, and the first identification information is used to indicate the existence or type of the first time interval information, specifically, When the first identification information is a first parameter value, for example, when the first parameter value is "1", the first identification information is added to the first time interval information. Between two consecutive sensing measurement instances a first time interval value of at least one of a maximum value of the first time interval value, and a minimum value of the first time interval value; When the first identification information is a second parameter value, for example, when the second parameter value is “0”, the first identification information indicates that the first time interval information is the maximum value of the first time interval value or the minimum value of the first time interval value. The maximum value of the first time interval value or the minimum value of the first time interval value may be a preset value or a pre-negotiated value, respectively.
