[0004] With the application of millimeter waves and terahertz in communications, base stations will be able to perceive the status of targets in the coverage area, such as low-altitude flying objects, traffic flows and hot spots of pedestrian flow. They will be able to detect, locate, identify and track key targets, and also have the ability to measure the natural environment status and weather in the coverage area in real time; mobile terminals will be upgraded to intelligent entities with perception capabilities. At close range, intelligent entities need to recognize people's posture, movements and expressions; at micro distances, they need to identify the target attributes inside the human body, products and objects, and provide remote, artificial intelligence (AI)-based and unmanned physical examination, quality inspection and security inspection services.

[0031] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, with examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, identical numerals in different figures represent identical or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present application, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0032] The following, in combination with the accompanying drawings, describes in detail the perception service processing method, network-side device, terminal and readable storage medium provided in the embodiments of the present application through some embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0033] Figure 1 illustrates a flow chart of a method for processing a perception service in an embodiment of the present application. This method 100 can be executed by a first device involved in the perception service processing, where the first device can be a base station or a network-side device, though this is not specifically limited in the present embodiment. In other words, the method can be executed by software or hardware installed on the first device. As shown in Figure 1, the method can include the following steps.

[0034] Step S110: The perception control unit receives the perception service request sent by the application function unit.

[0035] Among them, the perception service request is used to indicate the acquisition of perception information of the target area. The target area can be a static perception area. The perception service request carries a static perception area identifier or a static perception area list, and also includes but is not limited to the perception service type, perception mode, perception base station identifier or UE identifier, perception recognition accuracy, perception recognition false alarm rate, perception distance, perception area, perception speed range, perception distance resolution, perception angle measurement accuracy, perception speed resolution, perception service quality (QoS) requirements, perception data update frequency, perception feedback method, perception service requester type, perception service requester identifier, perception application identifier, etc.

[0036] The perception control unit may be a sensing control unit (SCU), which obtains and processes perception data from the perception execution unit. In one implementation, the perception control unit includes: one or more network elements, that is, the perception control unit may be a network element or a collection of multiple network elements. For example, in a 5G-A core network or a 6G core network, the perception control unit may be a collection of network exposure functions (NEF), local management functions (LMF), gateway mobile location centers (GMLC), sensing functions (SF), access and mobility management functions (AMF), and unified data management (UDM) network elements, and the perception functions are distributed in relevant network elements; in a 6G network, the perception control unit may be multiple services distributed in the NCU. The application function unit may be an application function service initiator (AF), which may be a functional network element or a terminal device. In step S110, the application function unit sends a perception service request for the target area to the perception control unit.

[0037] Step S120: Determine the target perception mode corresponding to the perception service request.

[0038] In one implementation, the target sensing mode includes at least one of the following: base station autonomous transmission and reception, terminal autonomous transmission and reception, first base station transmission and second base station reception, first terminal transmission and second terminal reception, base station transmission and terminal reception, or terminal transmission and base station reception. It is understood that a sensing mode refers to a communication mode used in a network to sense, collect, and transmit data. The following describes these multiple target sensing modes.

[0039] Base station self-transmission and self-reception: refers to the base station actively collecting and processing perception information.

[0040] Terminal self-transmission and self-reception: refers to the terminal actively collecting and processing perception information.

[0041] The first base station sends and the second base station receives: This is a multi-base station coordination mode. The first base station sends a perception service request to the second base station, and the second base station responds to the request and sends the perception information to the first base station.

[0042] The first terminal sends and the second terminal receives: This is a multi-terminal coordination mode. The first terminal sends a perception service request to the second terminal, and the second terminal responds to the request and sends the perception information to the first terminal.

[0043] Base station sends and terminal receives: the base station sends a perception service request to the terminal, and the terminal responds to the request and sends the perception information to the base station.

[0044] The terminal sends and the base station receives: the terminal sends a perception service request to the base station, and the base station responds to the request and sends the acquired perception information to the terminal.

[0045] In practical applications, the target perception mode needs to be selected according to specific needs and scenarios.

[0046] Step S130: Determine a target perception execution unit based on the target area and the target perception mode.

[0047] The target perception execution unit is one or more perception execution units corresponding to the target perception mode within the target area, and the target perception execution unit has completed the registration of perception capabilities with the perception control unit. It is understood that a perception execution unit with perception capabilities needs to register its own perception capabilities with the perception control unit; optionally, the perception execution unit can also register its perception capabilities with the perception control unit in real time during the business process.

[0048] In one implementation, the target sensing execution unit includes at least one of the following: a sensing base station device; a sensing terminal device. In other words, the sensing execution unit (SEU) can be a base station and / or terminal with sensing capabilities. For example, Figure 2 shows the network entity distribution of sensing execution units with sensing capabilities in the 6G architecture.

[0049] Step S140: Send the perception service request to the target perception execution unit.

[0050] Step S150: Receive the perception information sent by the target perception execution unit, and send the target perception result to the application function unit based on the perception information.

[0051] It can be understood that the perception execution unit receives the perception service request issued by the perception control unit, and according to the content of the request, performs specific perception operations and obtains perception information, and then returns the perception information to the perception control unit. The target perception result can be the original perception information of the large package obtained by the perception execution unit, or the perception information processed by the perception execution unit, or the perception result of the small package processed by the perception execution unit.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present application, when the perception control unit receives a perception service request for a target area sent by an application function unit, it determines the target perception mode corresponding to the perception service request, determines the target perception execution unit based on the target area and the target perception mode, and then sends the perception service request to the target perception execution unit. Finally, it receives the perception information sent by the target perception execution unit, and sends the target perception result to the application function unit based on the perception information, providing end-to-end business perception and openness, realizing efficient transmission of perception information of any size, thereby expanding the scope of application scenarios.

[0053] Furthermore, in one implementation, before determining the target sensing mode corresponding to the sensing service request, the method further includes one of the following:

[0054] (1) Determine that the application function unit needs to be authenticated and the authentication is passed, and that the payment type of the application function unit is a prepaid mode and the prepaid account balance of the application function unit meets the required fee.

[0055] (2) Determine that the application function unit needs to be authenticated and the authentication is passed, and that the payment category of the application function unit is a billing mode.

[0056] (3) Determine that the perception service request does not require authentication, and that the payment category of the application function unit is a prepaid mode and the prepaid account balance of the application function unit meets the required fee.

[0057] (4) Determine that the perception service request does not require authentication and that the payment category of the application function unit is a billing mode.

[0058] For example, referring to Figure 3, the above (1) to (4) are described. AF is an application function unit, and SCU is a perception control unit. It should be noted that in the subsequent description of the embodiments of this application, AF refers to the application function unit, SCU refers to the perception control unit, and SEU refers to the perception execution unit.

[0059] Step S310: The AF sends a sensing service request to the SCU.

[0060] Step S320: Authentication Required. The SCU determines whether it needs to authenticate the AF. Required authentication information may include username / password, IP address, and port number. If authentication is required, the process proceeds to step S360. If not, for example, by a government regulatory agency, the process proceeds to step S330.

[0061] Step S330: Determine whether it is a prepaid mode. If it is a prepaid mode, go to step S340; if not, go to step S350.

[0062] Step S340: Determine whether the balance is sufficient. If it is a prepaid mode, determine whether the AF's prepaid account balance meets the current sensing service request. If so, go to step S390; if not, go to step S370.

[0063] Step S350: Determine that the mode is the billing mode. If it is not the prepaid mode, determine that the payment mode corresponding to the AF is the billing mode.

[0064] Step S360: Determine whether the authentication is successful. If the authentication is successful, go to step S330; if not, go to step S370.

[0065] Step S370: Return a response to the AF. If the AF requires authentication but fails to authenticate, or if the AF's prepaid account balance is insufficient in step S340, the execution control unit returns an appropriate error response to the AF.

[0066] Step S380: It is determined that an exception has occurred, and the current perception service request process ends.

[0067] Step S390: The subsequent process of this perception service request continues.

[0068] In this implementation, before determining the target perception mode corresponding to the perception service request, the application function unit needs to be authenticated. Since the SCU manages the information of one or more AFs, including but not limited to payment category (prepaid mode or billing mode), access authentication method (including but not limited to username / password, access IP address / port, etc.), service validity period, balance, default perception service quality (QoS), default perception mode, etc. Therefore, in this implementation, whether the perception service request meets the requirements is determined based on whether authentication is required, whether the authentication is passed, and the corresponding payment category, so as to ensure that the source of the perception service request is legal and the payment category corresponding to the perception service request is clear, which can improve the reliability and security of data transmission and ensure the normal operation of the perception service.

[0069] In one implementation, determining the target sensing mode corresponding to the sensing service request includes one of the following:

[0070] (1) When the perception service request carries a perception model, determining that the perception model carried by the perception service request is the target perception model.

[0071] (2) When the perception service request does not carry a perception mode and it is determined that the application function unit is configured with a default perception mode, the default perception mode is determined to be the target perception mode.

[0072] (3) When the perception service request does not carry a perception mode and it is determined that the application function unit is not configured with a default perception mode, the target perception mode is determined for the perception service request according to the policy of the perception control unit.

[0073] Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 4 , the above (1) to (3) are described.

[0074] Step S410: The AF sends a sensing service request to the SCU.

[0075] Step S420: Determine whether the request carries the perception mode.

[0076] Step S430: If the AF sensing service request carries a sensing mode, the sensing mode carried in the AF sensing service request is adopted, that is, the sensing mode carried in the AF sensing service request is determined as the target sensing mode.

[0077] Step S440: If the AF sensing service request does not carry the sensing mode, it is determined whether the AF is configured with a default sensing mode.

[0078] Step S450: If the AF configuration has a default perception mode, the default perception mode of the AF configuration is adopted, that is, the default perception mode of the AF configuration is determined as the target perception mode.

[0079] Step S460: If the AF is not configured with a default perception mode, the target perception mode is determined for the perception service request according to the policy of the perception control unit.

[0080] In this implementation, since different perception modes correspond to different perception data collection, processing and transmission methods, it is necessary to determine the corresponding target perception mode according to the perception service request to ensure the efficiency and quality of perception data transmission.

[0081] In one implementation, the sensing service request carries the area identifier of the target area; and determining a target sensing execution unit based on the target area and the target sensing mode includes the following steps:

[0082] Step S131: converting the area identifier into a location identifier recognizable by a mobile system, wherein the location identifier includes: at least one cell identifier and / or at least one base station identifier.

[0083] It can be understood that the perception control unit first obtains the area identifier of the target area carried by the perception service request, and then converts the area identifier into a location identifier recognizable by the mobile system. That is, the perception control unit can determine the cell or base station corresponding to the target area based on the location identifier, and the cell or base station can communicate with the mobile system.

[0084] Step S132: Based on the location identifier and the target perception mode, determine the target perception execution unit corresponding to the target perception mode in the area corresponding to the location identifier.

[0085] In step S131, the perception control unit can determine the cell or base station corresponding to the target area based on the location identifier, thereby determining one or more perception execution units that have registered perception capabilities in each cell or base station, and then determine the target perception execution unit from the one or more perception execution units based on the target perception mode.

[0086] Optionally, the sensing execution unit SCU may include: a Home Sensing Control Unit (HSCU) and a Visit Sensing Control Unit (VSCU). For example, referring to FIG5 , the above steps S131 and S132 are described.

[0087] Step S510: The HSCU converts the area identifier AreaID of the AF perception service request into a location information location identifier MareaID that can be recognized by the mobile system.

[0088] Step S520: The HSCU forwards the sensing service request to the VSCU according to the MareaID, carrying the AF original request information, including but not limited to MareaID and AreaID.

[0089] Step S530: Optionally, the HSCU may also forward the request to the VSCU according to the AreaID, and then jump to step S540.

[0090] Step S540: The VSCU converts the AreaID into location information MareaID that can be recognized by the mobile system.

[0091] Step S550: The VSCU selects a suitable SEU with sensing capabilities according to the MArealID and the target sensing mode transparently transmitted by the HSCU.

[0092] Step S560: The SEU selection process ends, and the selected SEU will perform the sensing operation.

[0093] In this example, the HSCU needs to convert the requested area identifier AreaID into location information that can be recognized by the mobile system, such as a set of one or more cell IDs, based on the AF's perception service request. The HSCU forwards the perception service request to the VSCU based on the converted area location information; the VSCU sends the perception service request to one or more SEUs suitable for the perception area based on the original perception area identifier AreaID of the AF's perception service request or the set of one or more cellIDs converted by the HSCU and the SEUs with perception capabilities registered in the VSCU.

[0094] In one implementation, before determining the target perception execution unit based on the target area and the target perception mode, it also includes: receiving a perception capability registration request sent by the one or more perception execution units; and when it is determined that the perception capability of the one or more perception execution units meets the second preset requirements, sending a registration success response message to the one or more perception execution units. It can be understood that the target perception execution unit has registered its perception capability with the perception control unit. For example, this implementation is described with reference to FIG6 .

[0095] Step S610: Receive a sensing capability registration request.

[0096] One or more base stations or terminals with sensing capabilities, namely SEUs, register the sensing capabilities with the SCU, and the SCU receives the sensing capability registration request.

[0097] Step S620: Sensing capability registration response.

[0098] The SCU processes the SEU's sensing capability registration request and returns a successful registration response; if the processing fails, it returns an appropriate error reason.

[0099] In one implementation, the receiving the perception information sent by the target perception execution unit includes: receiving the target perception result sent by the target perception execution unit through a control plane bus; or receiving the perception measurement data sent by the target perception execution unit through a data plane bus.

[0100] It is understandable that both the control plane bus and the data plane bus are channels for implementing data transmission.

[0101] Among them, in another implementation method, the sending of the target perception result to the application function unit based on the perception information includes: when receiving the perception measurement data sent by the target perception execution unit through the data plane bus, performing perception settlement on the perception measurement data to obtain the target perception result; and sending the target perception result to the application function unit.

[0102] It is understood that the data plane bus receives raw perception measurement data, meaning that the target perception execution unit has not yet processed the perception measurement data into a target perception result. Therefore, upon receiving the perception measurement data sent by the target perception execution unit, the perception control unit performs perception settlement on the perception measurement data to obtain the target perception result, and then sends the target perception result to the application function unit.

[0103] In one implementation, after receiving the perception information sent by the target perception execution unit, it also includes: obtaining the target perception result based on the received perception information; generating a perception detail list based on the target perception result; and sending the perception detail list to the operator billing center at the first target moment, wherein the first target moment includes the moment when the perception detail list generation is completed or the preset periodic sending moment.

[0104] For example, the perception information also includes the measurement and recording of traffic used by the perception execution unit during the perception service process. This recorded data will be used to settle charges and send bills to users. Therefore, after obtaining the perception information from the perception execution unit, the perception control unit needs to send bills to the operator's billing center to ensure that users pay according to the traffic used and that financial transactions between the operator and the user are completed smoothly.

[0105] In one implementation, sending the target perception result to the application functional unit based on the perception information includes: sending the target perception result to the application functional unit through a perception capability open network element; or sending the target perception result to the application functional unit through a data plane bus.

[0106] Next, a specific embodiment of the present application will be described with reference to FIG7 .

[0107] Step S705: Sense the service request.

[0108] AF initiates a perception service request, wherein the perception service request carries a static perception area identifier or a static perception area list, and also includes but is not limited to the perception service type, perception mode, perception base station identifier or UE identifier, perception recognition accuracy, perception recognition false alarm rate, perception distance, perception area, perception speed range, perception distance resolution, perception angle measurement accuracy, perception speed resolution, perception service quality QoS requirements, perception data update frequency, perception feedback method, perception service requester type, perception service requester identifier, perception application identifier, etc.

[0109] Step S710: Authenticate the AF and determine the VSCU.

[0110] The HSCU authenticates the sensing service request. After authentication, it checks the payment type. If it is prepaid, it checks whether the balance supports the current service fee. If it is insufficient, the service process is terminated. Optionally, for specific AFs designated by some governments or organizations, it is possible to choose whether to perform authentication and / or billing control.

[0111] Step S715: Sense the service request.

[0112] The HSCU needs to convert the area identifier AreaID of the perception service request into location information MAreaID that can be recognized by the mobile system according to the request of the AF. The HSCU forwards the perception service request to the VSCU based on the converted area location information MAreaID; optionally, the HSCU can also forward the perception service request to the VSCU based on the AreaID.

[0113] Step S720: Select a suitable SEU with sensing capabilities.

[0114] The VSCU converts the AreaID into location information MAreaIDD that can be recognized by the mobile system, and selects the appropriate SEU with perception capabilities based on the MAreaID and the perception mode of the HSCU transparent transmission.

[0115] Step S725: Send a perception service request.

[0116] The VSCU sends a sensing service request to the SEU.

[0117] Step S730: The SEU performs the sensing task.

[0118] Step S735: reporting the perception measurement data.

[0119] The SEU reports the sensing results to the VSCU via the control plane bus immediately, periodically, or when a sensing event that satisfies the AF sensing service request occurs.

[0120] Step S740: reporting the perception result data.

[0121] The SEU reports the sensing measurement data to the VSCU via the data plane bus immediately, periodically, or when a sensing event that satisfies the AF sensing service request occurs; wherein, step S735 and step S740 are in an OR relationship.

[0122] Step S745: Perception calculation.

[0123] The VSCU receives the perception data from the SEU and, if necessary, performs secondary processing to form the final perception result.

[0124] Step S750: Generate a perception detail list SDR.

[0125] The VSCU generates a detailed perception data record (SDR) and transmits the SDR to the operator's billing center immediately or periodically.

[0126] Step S755: Sense service response.

[0127] The VSCU forwards the sensing results to the HSCU.

[0128] Step S760: Generate a perception detail list SDR.

[0129] The HSCU generates a detailed perception data record (SDR) and transmits the SDR to the operator's billing center immediately or periodically.

[0130] Step S765: Sense service response.

[0131] The HSCU opens its perception capabilities and feeds back the perception results to the AF.

[0132] Step S770: Sense service response.

[0133] Optionally, the SEU may also directly feed back the sensing result to the AF through the DCI channel.

[0134] Among them, step S750 and step S760 determine that either VSCU or HSCU generates SDR or both of them generates SDR according to the operator's policy.

[0135] In the above embodiment, the SCU is the brain of the perception function. For example, referring to Figure 8 , the SCU may include a HSCU and a VSCU. The HSCU accepts perception service requests from the AF, performs authentication and billing control on the AF, and if authentication passes and the billing control policy is met, forwards the AF's perception service request to the VSCU. The VSCU then issues perception instructions to the SEUs that meet the service request. The VSCU receives perception data from the SEUs and, if necessary, performs secondary processing. For example, the VSCU receives perception data from multiple SEUs and further performs perception settlement to obtain a more optimal final perception result. The VSCU transmits the perception results to the HSCU immediately, periodically, or upon event triggering. The HSCU then sends the perception results to the AF via an open perception capability interface. Simultaneously, the VSCU or / and HSCU generate perception detail data (SDRs) and transmit them immediately or periodically to the operator's billing center. The SCU also handles the registration, processing, and discovery of perception capabilities for SEUs, converts the AF perception service request area to the mobile network's recognizable area, and manages permissions and services for one or more AFs. The SEU receives the perception service request from the VSCU, performs specific perception operations based on the request content, requested QoS, etc., and returns the perception data to the VSCU. In order to reduce the network transmission data traffic, the perception data can be either the original perception measurement data of the SEU, the perception measurement data processed by the SEU, or the final perception result processed by the SEU. Finally, the AF accepts the perception result opened by the HSCU.

[0136] Figure 9 illustrates a flow chart of a method for processing a perception service in an embodiment of the present application. This method 900 can be executed by a first device involved in the perception service processing, where the first device can be a terminal or a network-side device, though this is not specifically limited in the present embodiment. In other words, the method can be executed by software or hardware installed on the first device. As shown in Figure 9, the method may include the following steps.

[0137] Step S910: The target perception execution unit receives the perception service request sent by the perception control unit.

[0138] In one implementation, the perception execution unit includes at least one of the following: a perception base station device; a perception terminal device.

[0139] Step S920: Acquire perception information based on the perception service request.

[0140] Step S930: Sending perception information to the perception control unit at the target time.

[0141] In one implementation, the target time includes at least one of the following: the time when the perception information is acquired; a preset periodic time; or the time when the perception event corresponding to the perception service request is triggered. In other words, the perception execution unit can be at the time when the perception information is acquired.

[0142] In another implementation, the sensing execution unit sends the sensing information to the sensing control unit at the target time, including one of the following:

[0143] (1) sending the target perception measurement result to the perception control unit via the control plane bus at the target time; or (2) sending the perception measurement data to the perception control unit via the data plane bus at the target time.

[0144] In an embodiment of the present application, a perception service request sent by a perception control unit is received through a target perception execution unit, and perception information is obtained based on the perception service request. The perception information is sent to the perception control unit at a target time, providing end-to-end service perception and openness, which can ensure that data can be efficiently transmitted in the network, thereby expanding the scope of application scenarios.

[0145] In one implementation, before sending the target perception measurement result to the perception control unit through the control plane bus at the target time, the method further includes: acquiring target perception measurement data, performing perception settlement on the target perception measurement data, and obtaining the target perception result.

[0146] Figure 10 shows a flow chart of a method for processing a perception service in an embodiment of the present application. This method 1000 can be executed by a first device in the perception service processing, where the first device can be a terminal or a network-side device, and the specific embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto. In other words, the method can be executed by software or hardware installed on the first device. As shown in Figure 10, the method may include the following steps.

[0147] Step S1010: The application function unit sends a perception service request to the perception control unit, where the perception service request is used to instruct acquisition of perception information of a target area.

[0148] Step S1020: Receive the target perception result sent by the perception control unit based on the perception service request.

[0149] In an embodiment of the present application, the application function unit obtains the perception information of the target area by sending a perception service request to the perception control unit, and then receives the target perception result corresponding to the perception information, providing end-to-end business perception and openness, and realizing efficient transmission of perception information of any size, thereby expanding the scope of application scenarios.

[0150] The embodiments described in any one of FIG. 1 to FIG. 10 can be widely applied to perception scenarios for static area perception, including but not limited to:

[0151] 1. Smart Home Intrusion Detection

[0152] For intruder detection in smart home scenarios, indoor object or human activity can affect the wireless signal measured by the user equipment (UE) or network. Through this application, the SCU can detect indoor object or human behavior by analyzing and collecting sensor information such as SEU Doppler shift, amplitude change, and phase change, thereby protecting family life and property safety.

[0153] 2. Intrusions around highways and railways

[0154] Major accidents caused by pedestrians or animals crossing highways / railways occur frequently. Currently, highway / railway monitoring systems are mainly based on sensors (such as radars, cameras) equipped in traditional roadside infrastructure, but road monitoring systems still have many problems, such as only partial coverage of the roadside, and the radar may be dedicated to a single purpose, and different types of radars need to be deployed at the same location to meet their respective use cases and usage requirements in related fields. Through the perception of the perception area by this application, highway / railway managers are notified of foreign object intrusion in the first time, which facilitates managers to take quick measures and effectively ensure the safe operation of highways / railways.

[0155] 3. Real-time rainfall detection

[0156] Traditional rainfall monitoring uses rain gauges located at specific locations. However, using rain gauges to monitor rainfall over a wide area is very expensive. Leveraging the wide-area coverage and remote sensing capabilities of wireless base stations, this application enables base station-based rainfall monitoring, obtaining detection results over a wider area. The SEU obtains measurement data from the sensing area, and the SCU quantifies and analyzes the SEU's measurement data to obtain sensing results. This sensing result can then be made available to applications, providing real-time rainfall information related to the location.

[0157] 4. Flood detection in smart cities

[0158] Due to climate change in recent years, heavy rain sometimes falls in a small area in a short period of time, especially in urban areas. Even in areas where it has not occurred in the past, it can cause inundation and flooding. Once a flood really occurs there, such as low-lying roads in the city and underpasses, it may result in the loss of life. Although the same function can be achieved through cameras or other sensors, it is not necessarily efficient and commercially viable because it is difficult to determine the location where the flood may occur. Through the wide perception of the city by this application, the location of the flood can be perceived more effectively and economically to ensure the safety of people's lives and property.

[0159] 5. Drone intrusion detection

[0160] The drone (UAV) industry is rapidly developing globally, with widespread applications in a variety of scenarios, including aerial photography, police operations, urban management, agriculture, geology, meteorology, electricity, emergency rescue, and disaster relief. However, this also poses significant challenges to drone regulation due to the following reasons:

[0161] 1) Low-altitude drones are characterized by large numbers, small size, and wide flight areas, making it difficult to monitor them using traditional radar systems.

[0162] 2) Unregistered drones may intentionally or unintentionally intrude into certain no-fly zones (e.g., airports, military bases), leading to serious consequences.

[0163] This application can provide sensing services by processing sensor data and outputting sensor information (such as relative position, altitude, distance, speed, direction). This application can be used to perceive scenarios where drones are illegally flying in restricted areas, including light rail, airports, government facilities, research institutions, high-speed rail stations, temporary performance venues, and other permanent or temporary restricted areas.
