[0002] [Technical Field] The present disclosure relates to the field of communication networks, particularly to methods and frame formats related to sensing measurement reports.

Background Art

[0003] The IEEE 802.11bf (11bf) standard aims to modify existing wireless local area network (WLAN) standards and enhance sensing capabilities through 802.11 - compliant waveforms. Using IEEE 802.11bf, a station (STA) can use received Wi - Fi signals to detect characteristics (such as range, speed, angle, movement, presence or proximity, gesture, etc.) of intended targets (such as objects, humans, animals, etc.) within an environment (such as a home, office, room, vehicle, enterprise, etc.).

[0004] A Wi-Fi sensing session is initiated by an STA acting as a sensing initiator. A sensing session typically has a setup phase in which the operating parameters of the sensing session are established and exchanged, and a measurement phase in which sensing measurements are performed. The sensing session then has a reporting phase in which sensing measurements are reported to or taken by the sensing initiator, followed by an termination phase in which the sensing session is terminated. During the reporting phase, a non-access point (AP) STA and AP may transmit a sensing measurement report frame containing one or more sensing measurement reports. However, the sensing measurement report frame in the IEEE 802.11bf draft standard lacks certain details. Therefore, a method and frame format are needed to remove or mitigate one or more limitations of the prior art.

[0005] This background information is provided to clarify information that the applicant believes may be relevant to this disclosure. It is not necessarily intended, nor should it be construed, to acknowledge that any of the aforementioned information constitutes prior art to the present invention. [Overview of the project]

[0006] This disclosure provides methods and apparatus related to providing details in a sensing management report frame. In one embodiment, a measurement setup identifier field is provided in the sensing management report frame.

This disclosure also provides a sensing measurement report frame action field format that can be used to provide an aggregated channel status information report. Using this field format, multiple different measurement setup identifiers, instance identifiers, and measurement reports can be aggregated into a single sensing measurement report frame. This disclosure also provides a measurement report frame format that can be used to enable sensing by proxy (SBP). This frame format can be used by an access point (AP) when transmitting to a non-AP station (STA) that initiated a sensing session. This frame format can aggregate multiple sensing measurement reports, each having identification information for the device that generated the sensing measurement report. This disclosure also provides two formats that can be used in a sensing management report control field.

Alternatively, when the sensing measurement report is a TCSI report, the sensing measurement report control field may include a feedback bandwidth subfield, an I2R N_STS subfield, an R2I N_STS subfield, and a TCIR tap count subfield.

[0012] In another embodiment, an apparatus is provided, which includes a memory configured to store a program, and a processor configured to execute a program stored in the memory, wherein, once the program stored in the memory is executed, the processor is configured to perform one or more of the methods described herein.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0027] The IEEE 802.11bf standard aims to add wireless local area network (WLAN) sensing (SENS) functionality, enabling stations (STAs) to perform WLAN sensing and acquire measurement results. A sensing initiator is an STA that starts a WLAN sensing session. These sessions generally have four phases: a setup phase, a measurement phase, a reporting phase, and an end phase. During the reporting phase, STAs, including both access points (APs) and non-AP STAs, may report the results of measurements performed during the measurement phase. These results are generally reported to or acquired by the sensing initiator and transmitted in a sensing measurement report frame.

[0028] In one aspect of this disclosure, a sensing measurement report frame action field format is provided, which includes both a field for a measurement instance identifier and a field for a measurement setup identifier. Each of these fields may be one octet in size, but other sizes may be selected as needed. The measurement instance identifier may be contained either within the measurement instance identifier field or within the dialog token field, and may indicate a WLAN sensing session associated with the sensing measurement report. The measurement setup identifier may be used to indicate the operational parameters of the WLAN sensing session.

[0029] In another aspect of this disclosure, two subfield formats for sensing measurement report control fields are provided. A first subfield format may be suitable for use when transmitting a Channel State Information (CSI) sensing measurement report. This subfield format may include a feedback bandwidth subfield, an initiator-to-responder (I2R) space-time stream count (N_STS) subfield, a responder-to-initiator (R2I) N_STS subfield, a subcarrier group count (Ng) subfield, a scale factor subfield, and a CSI feedback (FB) bit size subfield. A second subfield format may be suitable for use when transmitting a truncated channel impulse response (TCIR) sensing measurement report. This subfield format may include a feedback bandwidth subfield, an I2R N_STS subfield, an R2I N_STS subfield, and a TCIR tap count subfield.

[0030] One aspect of this disclosure provides a sensing measurement report frame action field format for aggregated CSI reports. This frame can be used to aggregate multiple CSI reports having multiple measurement setup IDs and instance IDs into a single frame. The field format may include a category field and a public action field. The field format may further include multiple sensing measurement reports, and for each of these reports, the field format may include a measurement setup ID field, a measurement instance ID field, and a sensing measurement report field.

[0031] Another aspect of this disclosure describes an aggregated measurement report field format that can be used to enable sensing by proxy (SBP). SBP can be used to enable client-based sensing using an intermediate AP when both the sensing initiator and the sensing responder are non-AP STAs. In the SBP process, multiple non-AP STAs may each send sensing management reports to the AP. The AP may then aggregate these sensing measurement reports and send an aggregated sensing measurement report to the sensing initiator. The aggregated measurement report field format includes a category field, a public action field, a measurement setup identifier field, a measurement instance identifier field, and multiple sensing measurement reports. For each sensing measurement report, the field format includes the sensing measurement report and the instruction of the STA that generated the sensing measurement report. This instruction may be an association identifier (AID).

[0032] Figure 1 shows a sensing measurement report frame action field format 100 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The sensing measurement report frame action field format 100 may have a plurality of fields, including a category field 104, a public action field 106, a dialogue token field 108, a measurement setup ID field 110, and a sensing measurement report element 112.

[0033] Each field in the sensing measurement report frame action field format 100 may be assigned a specific size. The category field 104, public action field 106, dialogue token field 108, and measurement setup ID field 110 may each be assigned one octet. The sensing measurement report element 112 may be assigned a variable number of octets. The measurement setup ID field 110 is illustrated as one octet, but other sizes may be used as needed. Each octet is 8 bits or 1 byte.

[0034] In the sensing measurement report frame action field format 100, the dialog token field 108 or the measurement instance ID field may be used to provide an indication of the measurement instance identifier. The measurement setup ID field 110 indicates the measurement setup identifier, which may be used to identify the attributes of the sensing measurement instance. As described above, the dialog token field 108 may be a one-byte field. This size may be insufficient to indicate both the measurement instance identifier and the measurement setup identifier. Therefore, it may be advantageous to include both a one-byte dialog token field 108 and a one-byte measurement setup ID field 110, as in the field format 100.

[0035] Figure 2 shows a sensing measurement report element format 200 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The sensing measurement report element format 200 can be used as a format for the sensing measurement report element 112 in Figure 1. The sensing measurement report element format 200 may have a plurality of fields, including an element ID field 204, a length field 206, an element ID extension field 208, a sensing measurement report type field 210, a sensing measurement report control field 212, and a sensing measurement report field 214.

[0036] Each field in the sensing measurement report element format 200 is assigned a specific size. The element ID field 204, the length field 206, and the element ID extension field 208 can each be assigned one octet, i.e., 8 bits. The sensing measurement report type field 210 and the sensing measurement report control field 212 can each be assigned a length that may be an octet or another size that may be defined later. The sensing measurement report field 214 can be assigned a variable number of octets.

[0037] In some embodiments, the sensing measurement report type field 210 may have a value from 0 to 255 that identifies the type of sensing measurement report included. A sensing measurement report type field 210 with a value of 0 may be used to signal a CSI sensing measurement report, while values ​​between 1 and 255 may be reserved for other uses.

[0038] The sensing measurement report field 214 may be used to report sensing measurements acquired by the sensing receiver. The sensing measurement report control field 212 contains the information necessary to interpret the sensing measurement report field 214. The sensing measurement report control field 212 itself may contain one or more subfields, such as N subfields numbered from subfield 1 to subfield N. The number of subfields used and the length of each of these subfields may vary, at least in part, depending on the feedback type indicated in the sensing measurement report type field 210.

[0039] Figure 3 shows a sensing measurement report control field / subfield format 300 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The sensing measurement report control field / subfield format 300 may be used as a format for the sensing measurement report control field 212 in Figure 2 and may be suitable for a CSI sensing measurement report as signaled in the sensing measurement report type field 210.

[0040] According to the embodiment, the sensing measurement report control field subfield format 300 may include multiple subfields, including a feedback bandwidth subfield 304, an I2R N_STS subfield 306, an R2I N_STS subfield 308, an Ng subfield 310, a scale factor subfield 312, and a CSI FB bit size subfield 314. Each of these subfields may be assigned an appropriate number of bits.

[0041] Figure 4 shows another sensing measurement report control field / subfield format 400 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The sensing measurement report control field / subfield format 400 may be used as a format for the sensing measurement report control field 212 in Figure 2 and may be suitable for a TCIR sensing measurement report as signaled in the sensing measurement report type field 210.

[0042] According to the embodiment, the sensing measurement report control field subfield format 400 may have a plurality of subfields, including a feedback bandwidth subfield 404, an I2R N_STS subfield 406, an R2I N_STS subfield 408, and a TCIR tap count subfield 410. Each of these subfields may be assigned an appropriate number of bits.

[0043] Figure 5 shows a sensing measurement report frame action field format 500 for an aggregated CSI report according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The sensing measurement report frame action field format 500 may be used to aggregate multiple CSI sensing measurement reports, each report including a measurement setup identifier and a measurement instance identifier. As shown, the sensing measurement report frame action field format 500 includes N sensing measurement reports numbered from 1 to N, and each of the N sensing measurement reports may include three fields: a measurement setup ID field, a measurement instance ID field, and a sensing measurement report field.

[0044] According to the embodiment, the sensing measurement report frame action field format 500 may have a plurality of fields, including a category field 504 and a public action field 506. The field format 500 may further include N sensing measurement reports numbered from 1 to N. The field format 500 may include a measurement setup ID 1 field 508, a measurement instance ID 1 field 510, and a sensing measurement report 1 field 512, and there may be multiple copies of each of these fields so that the number of copies of these fields may match that identified in the measurement setup ID N field 514. The field format 500 may further include a measurement instance ID N field 516 and a sensing measurement report N field 518. Each of these fields may be assigned an appropriate number of bits.

[0045] Figure 6 shows a network 600 of devices capable of transmitting reports to enable sensing by proxy according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Generally, SBP is client-based sensing, where both the sensing initiator and sensing responder can be STAs, not APs. However, some wireless communication systems may not allow peer-to-peer sensing between non-AP STAs. Therefore, SBP can be achieved using APs that can communicate with a sensing initiator and one or more sensing responders.

[0046] In this example, STA i 602 may initiate the WLAN sensing process by sending a request for a sensing report to AP608. AP608 can receive the request and communicate this request to multiple STAs, such as N STAs identified as STA r1 604 through STA rN 606. Each of the N STAs may send a sensing measurement report back to AP608, such as report 610 from STA r1 604 and report 612 from STA rN 606. Each of the reports 610 and 612 from STA604 and 606 to AP608 may use the aforementioned format, such as field format 100, 500. AP608 may then aggregate the N reports 610 and 612 from STA604 and 606 and send the aggregated measurement report 614 to STA i 602.

[0047] Figure 7 shows an aggregated sensing measurement report field format 700 that may be transmitted from an AP to an STA according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. This field format 700 may be used to transmit an aggregated management report, such as report 614. The aggregated sensing measurement report may include multiple sensing measurement reports and may include identification information of each STA that generated each of the multiple sensing measurement reports. The identification information may be an association identifier. For example, the aggregated sensing measurement report may include N sensing measurement reports.

[0048] The aggregated measurement report field format 700 can have multiple fields, including category 704, public action 706, measurement setup ID 708, and measurement instance ID 710. The field format can further include N sensing measurement Report and AID 1 712 and sensing measurement Report 1 714 to AID N 716 and sensing measurement Includes AID for each of these reports, ranging from Report N 718. Each AID is associated with the sensing measurement The identification information of the STA that generated the report may be shown, for example AID 1 712 is sensing measurement This shows the identification information of the STA that generated Report 1714.
