[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in connection with the drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, but not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0023] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a WLAN sensing measurement establishment termination method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium, so as to provide a format of a termination message frame in a sensing measurement establishment process.

[0024] Here, 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 be mutually referenced, and the overlapping points will no longer be described.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 1 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a WLAN sensing measurement setup completion method, optionally applicable to a network device, where the network device is a sensing initiator, and the method can include the following steps:

[0026] In step 101, a sensing measurement establishment termination frame is determined, where the sensing measurement establishment termination frame includes a first identification bit and / or a second identification bit, where the first identification bit indicates the termination range of the sensing measurement process requested to be terminated by the sensing initiator, and the second identification bit indicates the trigger type of the sensing measurement process requested to be terminated by the sensing initiator.

[0027] As a first example, referring to FIGS. 2 to 4, the architecture and process of WLAN sensing to which the WLAN sensing measurement establishment and termination method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is applied will be described first.

[0028] 2 shows a schematic diagram of the architecture of WLAN Sensing (process), in which when a sensing initiator (or initiator) starts WLAN Sensing (e.g., starts a WLAN sensing session), multiple sensing responders (or sensing receivers) or responders respond, as shown as Responder 1, Responder 2, and Responder 3 in Fig. 2. When a sensing initiator starts WLAN Sensing, multiple associated or unassociated WLAN Sensing sensing responders can respond.

[0029] Referring to FIG. 3, the sensing initiator and the sensing responder communicate via a communication link S1, and the sensing responders communicate with each other via a communication link S2.

[0030] Here, 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). STAs and APs may 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, or both, or neither. In the WLAN sensing process, a sensing responder may be a sensing transmitter, a sensing receiver, or both.

[0031] In another architecture, as shown in Figure 4, both the sensing initiator and the sensing responder can be clients, and both can link to and communicate with the same access point device (AP), where Client1 in Figure 4 is the sensing initiator and Client2 is the sensing responder.

[0032] In a WLAN sensing measurement process, a sensing initiator determines a sensing measurement establishment termination frame to terminate the WLAN sensing measurement process, where the sensing measurement establishment termination frame includes a first identification bit and / or a second identification bit, and the first identification bit indicates a termination range of the sensing measurement process requested to be terminated by the sensing initiator, the termination range being, for example, full termination or partial termination, where full termination means terminating all sensing measurement processes established by the sensing initiator and one sensing responder, and partial termination means terminating one or more of all sensing measurement processes established by the sensing initiator and one sensing responder. For example, if the first identification bit is "1", it instructs the termination of all sensing measurement processes established by the sensing initiator and the sensing responder, and if the first identification bit is "0", it instructs the termination of part of the sensing measurement processes established by the sensing initiator and the sensing responder.

[0033] The second identification bit indicates the trigger type of the sensing measurement process requested to be terminated by the sensing initiator, and the trigger type may be, for example, Triggered Base d、 TB) and non-trigger based (Non-T B) The non-TB method includes a TB method in which an AP is the initiator or the transmitter, and a non-TB method in which an STA is the initiator or the transmitter. For example, if the second identification bit is "1", it indicates that the TB sensing measurement process established by the sensing initiator and the sensing responder is to be terminated, and if the second identification bit is "0", it indicates that the non-TB sensing measurement process established by the sensing initiator and the sensing responder is to be terminated.

[0034] Alternatively, the first identification bit is included in a Dialog Token field or a Measurement Setup ID (MSID) information field of the sensing measurement establishment end frame, Second Identification Bit is contained in the MSID information field.

[0035] In step 102, the sensing measurement establishment end frame is transmitted.

[0036] After determining the sensing measurement establishment end frame, the sensing measurement establishment end frame is sent to the sensing responder, thereby realizing the end of the sensing measurement establishment process and completing the WLAN sensing measurement process.

[0037] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a sensing measurement establishment termination frame is determined and transmitted, where the sensing measurement establishment termination frame includes a first identification bit and / or a second identification bit, where the first identification bit indicates an end range of the sensing measurement process requested to be terminated by the sensing initiator, and the second identification bit indicates a trigger type of the sensing measurement process requested to be terminated by the sensing initiator. The embodiment of the present disclosure realizes the termination of the sensing measurement establishment process by providing a format of an end message frame in the sensing measurement establishment process.

[0038] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a WLAN sensing measurement establishment and termination method, optionally applicable to a network device, where the network device is a sensing initiator, and the method includes: determining a sensing measurement establishment end frame, wherein the sensing measurement establishment end frame includes a first identification bit, the first identification bit indicating an end range of a sensing measurement process requested to be ended by the sensing initiator; wherein, if the sensing measurement establishment end frame includes the first identification bit, and the first identification bit is set to a first parameter value: the termination range includes terminating the entire sensing measurement establishment process; Here, the sensing measurement establishment completion message frame does not include a sensing measurement establishment identifier MSID corresponding to the entire sensing measurement establishment process.

[0039] For example, the first identification bit is included in the Dialog Token field of the sensing measurement establishment completion frame, and the format of the sensing measurement establishment completion frame is as shown in Table 1 below.

[0040] [Table 1]

[0041] Here, the first identification bit is included in the Dialog Token field, and the Dialog Token field is set to a first parameter value, for example, 1, to identify the sensing initiator that sends the sensing measurement establishment end frame and terminate all sensing measurement processes established by it and the sensing responder. The sensing measurement establishment end message frame does not include MSIDs corresponding to all of the sensing measurement establishment processes, to avoid an over-design situation in which the length of the sensing measurement end frame is indefinite or an excessive number of MSIDs are set in the sensing measurement end frame. Specifically, an over-design is, for example, when multiple sensing measurement processes do not end simultaneously within a certain period of time, but the MSIDs of multiple sensing measurement processes are set in the sensing measurement end frame.

[0042] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a WLAN sensing measurement establishment and termination method, optionally applicable to a network device, where the network device is a sensing initiator, and the method includes: determining a sensing measurement establishment end frame, wherein the sensing measurement establishment end frame includes a first identification bit, the first identification bit indicating an end range of a sensing measurement process requested to be ended by the sensing initiator; wherein, if the sensing measurement establishment end frame includes the first identification bit, and the first identification bit is set to a first parameter value: The termination range includes terminating the entire sensing measurement establishment process.

[0043] For example, the first identification bit is included in the MSID information field of the sensing measurement establishment completion frame, and the format of the sensing measurement establishment completion frame is as shown in Table 2 below.

[0044] [Table 2]

[0045] The first identification bit is shown as bit B1 in Table 2, and bit B1 is set to the first parameter value, for example, the first parameter value is 1, to identify the sensing initiator that sends the sensing measurement establishment end frame and end all sensing measurement processes established by it and the sensing responder.

[0047] Specifically, when the first identification bit is set to the second parameter value, terminating one sensing measurement establishment process includes terminating a sensing measurement establishment process whose trigger type is a trigger-based (TB) type, and taking the first identification bit as an example, the format of the sensing measurement establishment termination frame is as shown in Table 3 below.

[0048] [Table 3]

[0049] Here, the first identification bit is included in the Dialog Token field, and the Dialog Token field is set to the second parameter value to identify the sensing initiator that sends the sensing measurement establishment termination frame to terminate the sensing measurement establishment process whose trigger type is trigger-based (TB), and as shown in Table 3, the sensing measurement establishment termination message frame only includes an MSID corresponding to one sensing measurement establishment process, thereby avoiding excessive design situations where the length of the sensing measurement termination frame is indefinite or the MSID is set excessively in the sensing measurement termination frame.

[0050] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a WLAN sensing measurement establishment and termination method, optionally applicable to a network device, where the network device is a sensing initiator, and the method includes: determining a sensing measurement establishment end frame, wherein the sensing measurement establishment end frame includes a first identification bit, the first identification bit indicating an end range of a sensing measurement process requested to be ended by the sensing initiator; wherein, if the sensing measurement establishment end frame includes the first identification bit, and the first identification bit is set to a third parameter value: The termination range includes terminating one sensing measurement establishment process, where the sensing measurement establishment termination message frame includes an MSID corresponding to the one sensing measurement establishment process.

[0051] Specifically, when the first identification bit is set to the third parameter value, terminating one sensing measurement establishment process includes terminating a sensing measurement establishment process whose trigger type is non-trigger frame based (TB) type, and as shown in Table 3 above, the Dialog Token field is set to the second parameter value to identify the sensing initiator sending the sensing measurement establishment termination frame and terminate the sensing measurement establishment process whose trigger type is trigger-based (TB) type, and as shown in Table 3, the sensing measurement establishment termination message frame only includes an MSID corresponding to one sensing measurement establishment process, thereby avoiding excessive design situations where the length of the sensing measurement termination frame is indefinite or the MSID is set excessively in the sensing measurement termination frame.

[0052] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a WLAN sensing measurement establishment and termination method, optionally applicable to a network device, where the network device is a sensing initiator, and the method includes: The method may include a step of determining a sensing measurement establishment end frame, wherein the sensing measurement establishment end frame includes the first identification bit and a second identification bit, the first identification bit indicating an end range of the sensing measurement process requested to be ended by the sensing initiator, and the second identification bit indicating a trigger type of the sensing measurement process requested to be ended by the sensing initiator.

[0053] When the first identification bit is set to the fourth parameter value, when the second identification bit is set to the fifth parameter value, the second identification bit indicates the termination of one sensing measurement establishment process whose trigger type is TB, and wherein the sensing measurement establishment termination message frame includes a sensing measurement establishment identifier MSID corresponding to the one sensing measurement establishment process.

[0054] For example, the first identification bit is included in the MSID information field of the sensing measurement establishment completion frame, and the format of the sensing measurement establishment completion frame is as shown in Table 4 below.

[0055] [Table 4]

[0056] The first identification bit is B1, the second identification bit is B2, and if the second identification bit is set to a fifth parameter value, the second identification bit indicates that the trigger type is T B'sIt indicates that one sensing measurement establishment process of a type is to be terminated, and the frame contains only one MSID, for example, if B1 is set as a reserved bit and B2 is set to 1, it indicates that the frame contains an established TB sensing measurement establishment corresponding to the MSID.

[0057] The values ​​of the Dialog Token may be set to the same value or different values.

[0058] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a WLAN sensing measurement establishment and termination method, optionally applicable to a network device, where the network device is a sensing initiator, and the method includes: The method may include a step of determining a sensing measurement establishment end frame, wherein the sensing measurement establishment end frame includes the first identification bit and a second identification bit, the first identification bit indicating an end range of the sensing measurement process requested to be ended by the sensing initiator, and the second identification bit indicating a trigger type of the sensing measurement process requested to be ended by the sensing initiator.

[0059] When the first identification bit is set to a fourth parameter value, when the second identification bit is set to a sixth parameter value, the second identification bit indicates that one sensing measurement establishment process whose trigger type is a Non-TB type is to be terminated; Here, the sensing measurement establishment completion message frame includes a sensing measurement establishment identifier MSID corresponding to the one sensing measurement establishment process.

[0060] For example, the first identification bit is included in the MSID information field of the sensing measurement establishment end frame, and the format of the sensing measurement establishment end frame is as shown in Table 4. If the second identification bit is set to the sixth parameter value, the second identification bit indicates that the trigger type is T B'sIt indicates that one sensing measurement establishment process of a type is to be terminated, for example, when B2 is set to 0, it indicates that the established Non-TB sensing measurement establishment corresponding to the MSID is included.

[0061] The values ​​of the Dialog Token may be set to the same value or different values.

[0062] As shown in FIG. 5, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a WLAN sensing measurement establishment and termination method, optionally applicable to a network device, where the network device is a sensing initiator, and the method may include the following steps:

[0063] In step 501, a sensing measurement establishment end frame is determined, where the sensing measurement establishment end frame includes a first identification bit and / or a second identification bit, where the first identification bit indicates an end range of the sensing measurement process requested to be ended by the sensing initiator, and the second identification bit indicates a trigger type of the sensing measurement process requested to be ended by the sensing initiator.

[0064] As a second example, refer to FIG. 6, which shows another application scenario of the WLAN sensing measurement establishment termination method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, in which the sensing initiator performs a first step to determine a sensing measurement establishment termination frame.

[0065] In step 502, the sensing measurement establishment end frame is transmitted.

[0066] Referring to FIG. 6, the sensing initiator performs the second step to send a sensing measurement establishment end frame.

[0067] In step 503, a confirmation message frame corresponding to the sensing measurement establishment completion frame fed back from the sensing responder is received.

[0068] Now, referring to FIG. 6, the sensing responder performs the third step to send a confirmation message frame to the sensing initiator and complete the sensing measurement process.

[0069] After transmitting the sensing measurement establishment end frame, the sensing transmitter receives an acknowledgement message frame (ACK) corresponding to the sensing measurement establishment end frame fed back from the sensing responder, thereby confirming that the sensing responder has confirmed that it will end the sensing measurement process.

[0070] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a sensing measurement establishment termination frame is determined and transmitted, where the sensing measurement establishment termination frame includes a first identification bit and / or a second identification bit, where the first identification bit indicates an end range of the sensing measurement process requested to be terminated by the sensing initiator, and the second identification bit indicates a trigger type of the sensing measurement process requested to be terminated by the sensing initiator. The embodiment of the present disclosure realizes the termination of the sensing measurement establishment process by providing a format of an end message frame in the sensing measurement establishment process.

[0071] Referring to FIG. 7, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a WLAN sensing measurement establishment termination method, optionally applicable to a network device, where the network device may be a sensing responder, and the method may include the following steps:

[0072] In step 701, a sensing measurement establishment termination frame is received, where the sensing measurement establishment termination frame includes a first identification bit and / or a second identification bit, where the first identification bit indicates the termination range of the sensing measurement process requested to be terminated by the sensing initiator, and the second identification bit indicates the trigger type of the sensing measurement process requested to be terminated by the sensing initiator.

[0073] Here, the architecture and process of WLAN sensing to which the communication method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is applied may refer to the first example above, and a description thereof will be omitted here.

[0074] In a WLAN sensing measurement process, a sensing responder receives a sensing measurement establishment termination frame to terminate the WLAN sensing measurement process. Here, the sensing measurement establishment termination frame includes a first identification bit and / or a second identification bit, and the first identification bit indicates a termination range of the sensing measurement process requested to be terminated by the sensing initiator. The termination range may be, for example, full termination or partial termination. Full termination means terminating all sensing measurement processes established by the sensing initiator and one sensing responder, and partial termination means terminating one or more of all sensing measurement processes established by the sensing initiator and one sensing responder. For example, a first identification bit of “1” indicates that all sensing measurement processes of the sensing initiator are to be terminated, and a first identification bit of “0” indicates that some sensing measurement processes of the sensing initiator are to be terminated.

[0075] The second identification bit indicates the trigger type of the sensing measurement process requested to be terminated by the sensing initiator, and the trigger type may be, for example, Triggered Base d、TB) and non-trigger based (Non-T B) Specifically, T B side The formula is that the AP is the Initiator or Transmitter, and the Non-T B way The formula is that the STA is an Initiator or a Transmitter. For example, if the first identification bit is "1", the T B Se If the first identification bit is '0', it instructs the sensing initiator to terminate the Non-TB sensing measurement process.

[0076] Alternatively, the first identification bit is included in a Dialog Token field or a Measurement Setup ID (MSID) information field of the sensing measurement establishment end frame, Second Identification Bit is contained in the MSID information field.

[0077] In step 702, the sensing measurement process is terminated based on the sensing measurement establishment end frame.

[0078] After receiving the sensing measurement establishment termination frame, the sensing responder terminates the corresponding sensing measurement process based on the first identification bit and / or the second identification bit. For example, if the first identification bit indicates the end of all, the sensing responder terminates all sensing measurement processes with the sensing initiator. Or, if the second identification bit indicates the end of all, the sensing responder terminates all sensing measurement processes with the sensing initiator. B Se When the sensing responder indicates that it has terminated the sensing measurement establishment process, it shall terminate all Txs between the sensing responder and the sensing initiator. B Se The sensing measurement process ends.

[0079] In one alternative embodiment, after receiving the sensing measurement establishment end frame, the method further comprises: The method further includes a step of sending an acknowledgement message frame corresponding to the sensing measurement establishment end frame to the sensing initiator, and a step of the sensing responder feeding back an acknowledgement message frame (ACK) corresponding to the sensing measurement establishment end frame to the sensing initiator to confirm that the sensing responder has been confirmed to end the sensing measurement process.

[0080] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a sensing measurement establishment termination frame is received, and the sensing measurement process is terminated based on the sensing measurement establishment termination frame. Here, the sensing measurement establishment termination frame includes a first identification bit and / or a second identification bit, where the first identification bit indicates an end range of the sensing measurement process requested to be terminated by the sensing initiator, and the second identification bit indicates a trigger type of the sensing measurement process requested to be terminated by the sensing initiator. The embodiment of the present disclosure realizes the termination of the sensing measurement establishment process by providing a format for a termination message frame in the sensing measurement establishment process.
