[0001] The present application relates to the field of communications, and more specifically, to a perception reporting determination method, a terminal device, and a network device. Background Art

[0002] In the current system, user equipment (UE) does not know how to report its acquired perception information to the operator network, such as whether to include it in a control plane message or report it through a specific Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session.

Therefore, the current system cannot effectively support UEs as perception nodes assisting mobile network perception. The network side does not indicate UE perception reporting, and the UE cannot determine how to perform perception reporting.

[0037] Generally speaking, traditional communication systems support a limited number of connections and are easy to implement.

Wearable devices may also be called wearable smart devices, which are a general term for wearable devices that are intelligently designed and developed using wearable technology for daily wear, such as glasses, gloves, watches, clothing, and shoes. A wearable device is a portable device that is worn directly on the body or integrated into the user's clothes or accessories. Wearable devices are not only hardware devices, but also achieve powerful functions through software support, data interaction, and cloud interaction. Broadly speaking, wearable smart devices include those that are fully functional, large in size, and can achieve complete or partial functions without relying on smartphones, such as smart watches or smart glasses, as well as those that only focus on a certain type of application function and need to be used in conjunction with other devices such as smartphones, such as various smart bracelets and smart jewelry for vital sign monitoring.

[0045] In an embodiment of the present application, the network device may be a device for communicating with a mobile device. The network device may be an access point (AP) in a WLAN, an evolved base station (eNB or eNodeB) in LTE, or a relay station or access point, or a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, and a network device (gNB) in an NR network, or a network device in a future evolved PLMN network or a network device in an NTN network, etc.

The cell can be a cell corresponding to the network device (for example, a base station). The cell can belong to a macro base station or a base station corresponding to a small cell. The small cells here may include: metro cells, micro cells, pico cells, femto cells, etc. These small cells have the characteristics of small coverage and low transmission power, and are suitable for providing high-speed data transmission services.

In one embodiment, the communication system 100 may include multiple network devices 110, and each network device 110 may include a different number of terminal devices 120 within its coverage area, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0049] In one embodiment, the communication system 100 may further include other network entities such as a Mobility Management Entity (MME) and an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0050] Among them, the network equipment may include access network equipment and core network equipment. That is, the wireless communication system also includes multiple core networks for communicating with the access network equipment. The access network equipment can be an evolutionary base station (evolutional node B, abbreviated as eNB or e-NodeB) macro base station, micro base station (also called "small base station"), pico base station, access point (AP), transmission point (TP) or new generation base station (new generation Node B, gNodeB), etc. in a long-term evolution (LTE) system, a next-generation (mobile communication system) (next radio, NR) system or an authorized auxiliary access long-term evolution (LAA-LTE) system.

[0051] It should be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, a device having a communication function in a network / system may be referred to as a communication device. Taking the communication system shown in Figure 1 as an example, the communication device may include a network device and a terminal device having a communication function. The network device and the terminal device may be specific devices in the embodiments of the present application and will not be described in detail here. The communication device may also include other devices in the communication system, such as a network controller, a mobility management entity, and other network entities, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0052] It should be understood that the terms "system" and "network" are often used interchangeably herein. The term "and / or" is simply a description of an association between related objects, indicating that three possible relationships exist. For example, "A and / or B" can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, or B exists alone. Furthermore, the character " / " generally indicates that the related objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0053] It should be understood that the "indication" mentioned in the embodiments of this application can be a direct indication, an indirect indication, or an indication of an association. For example, "A indicates B" can mean that A directly indicates B, for example, B can be obtained through A; it can also mean that A indirectly indicates B, for example, A indicates C, and B can be obtained through C; it can also mean that there is an association between A and B.

[0054] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the term "corresponding" may indicate a direct or indirect correspondence between the two, or an association relationship between the two, or a relationship between indication and being indicated, configuration and being configured, etc.

[0055] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the relevant technologies of the embodiments of the present application are described below. The following relevant technologies can be arbitrarily combined with the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application as optional solutions, and they all fall within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.

[0056] The present invention is applicable to mobile networks, that is, cellular networks. The following description will be made using 5G networks, but the present invention is not limited to 5G networks and can also be used in future mobile networks, such as 6G networks.

[0057] The 5G network system architecture diagram is shown in Figures 2A and 2B. Figure 2A shows a mode in which core network elements are connected to each other through agreed interfaces, and Figure 2B shows a mode in which core network elements interact by calling services provided by the elements. The method proposed in this application is applicable to both modes. Among them, the UE is connected to the access network (AN) through the Uu interface for access layer connection, exchanging access layer messages and wireless data transmission, and the UE is connected to the AMF for non-access layer (NAS) through the N1 interface, exchanging NAS messages. AMF is the mobility management function in the core network, and SMF is the session management function in the core network. In addition to performing mobility management for the UE, AMF is also responsible for forwarding session management-related messages between the UE and SMF. PCF is the policy management function in the core network, responsible for formulating policies related to UE mobility management, session management, billing, etc. UPF is the user plane function in the core network, which transmits data with the external data network through the N6 interface and with the AN through the N3 interface. After the UE accesses the 5G network through the Uu interface, it establishes a PDU session for data transmission under the control of the SMF.

[0058] Current cellular networks, including 5G networks, are used solely for communication. However, the radio electromagnetic wave signals used by cellular networks can be used not only for wireless data transmission and communication but also for environmental perception, such as user motion or gesture recognition, respiratory monitoring, terminal movement speed measurement, environmental imaging, and weather monitoring. Therefore, future cellular networks can be considered not only for communication and data transmission, but also for acquiring sensory information.

[0059] If a mobile network not only supports communication but also adds sensing capabilities, it can perceive the environment within a region, such as performing environmental imaging and weather monitoring. It can also perceive specific UEs, such as sensing their mobility data and movement trajectory, or perceive users using specific UEs, such as monitoring their breathing rate and heart rate. To support mobile network sensing capabilities, UEs can become sensing nodes, measuring the wireless signals around them and reporting the sensing results to network equipment in the operator network. However, in current systems, UEs do not know how to report their sensing information to the operator network, such as whether to include it in control plane messages or through specific PDU sessions. They also do not know what information to report to the network, such as the raw signals obtained from measurements or the information generated by local calculations performed by the UE. Therefore, current systems do not effectively support UEs acting as sensing nodes to assist mobile network sensing. Without network-side guidance on UE sensing reporting, UEs cannot determine how to report their sensing information.

[0060] FIG3 is a schematic flow chart of a method 300 for determining a perception report according to an embodiment of the present application. The method may optionally be applied to the systems shown in FIG1 , FIG2A , or FIG2B , but is not limited thereto. The method includes at least part of the following contents.

[0061] S310. The terminal device receives the correspondence between the perception type and the perception reporting indication information.

[0062] For example, the terminal device may receive the corresponding relationship from the network side. In one example, the corresponding relationship may be generated by the PCF or the Sensing Function (SF) and sent to the AMF, and the AMF forwards the received corresponding relationship to the terminal device.

[0063] By receiving the correspondence between the perception type and the perception reporting indication information, the network device configures the reporting indication information corresponding to one or more perception types for the terminal device; when the terminal device subsequently performs perception reporting, it can determine the corresponding reporting indication information based on the perception type of the perception service and the correspondence, and report based on the corresponding reporting indication information.

[0064] In some embodiments, the correspondence between the perception type and the perception reporting indication information can be carried in the UE policy (UE Policy), for example, the PCF or SF generates the correspondence between the perception type and the perception reporting indication information, and carries the correspondence in the UE policy; the UE policy can be forwarded to the terminal device via the AMF; the terminal device receives the UE policy and obtains the correspondence from the UE policy.

[0065] The UE policy may be a UE-aware policy.

[0066] In one example, after the PCF or SF generates the correspondence between the perception type and the perception reporting indication information, it sends a UE policy control message (Npcf_UE policy control) to the AMF. The Npcf_UE policy control message includes a UE policy, and the UE policy carries the correspondence between the perception type and the perception reporting indication information. Afterwards, the AMF sends a UE configuration update command (UE configuration update command) to the terminal device. The UE configuration update command includes a UE policy, and the UE policy carries the correspondence between the perception type and the perception reporting indication information.

[0067] In other embodiments, the correspondence between the perception type and the perception reporting indication information may be sent via a UE Route Selection Policy (URSP) rule. For example, the terminal device receives a URSP rule that includes the perception type and the perception reporting indication information.

[0068] In one example, the service description information in the URSP rule may include the perception type; the routing description information for perception data reporting in the URSP rule may serve as perception reporting indication information. The routing description information for perception data reporting may include network slice information and / or DNN. The network slice information may be a slice identifier. The same URSP rule includes both the perception type and the perception reporting indication information, so the URSP rule also carries the correspondence between the perception type and the perception reporting indication information.

[0069] In some implementations, the perception type may be one or more perception types, such as weather monitoring, terminal movement speed measurement, and environmental imaging. In this case, the network device may configure multiple correspondences for the terminal device, for example, configuring a correspondence between perception type 1 and perception reporting indication information 1, a correspondence between perception type 2 and perception reporting indication information 2, and so on. Alternatively, the network device may configure a correspondence between multiple perception types and one reporting indication information, a correspondence between one perception type and multiple reporting indication information, and so on. For example, perception types 1 and 2 may be configured to correspond to perception reporting indication information 1, and perception types 3, 4, and 5 may be configured to correspond to perception reporting indication information 2.

[0070] In this way, when reporting data of a perception service, the terminal device can determine the perception reporting indication information corresponding to the perception type of the perception service based on the pre-configured correspondence between the perception type and the perception reporting indication information, and report the perception service based on the perception reporting indication information. For example, if a correspondence between perception type 1 and perception reporting indication information 1 is pre-configured, if the type of the perception service to be reported is perception type 1, then according to the correspondence, the reporting can be performed based on the corresponding perception reporting indication information 1; if a correspondence between perception type 2 and perception reporting indication information 2 is pre-configured, if the type of the perception service to be reported is perception type 2, then according to the correspondence, the reporting can be performed based on the corresponding perception reporting indication information 2.

[0071] Alternatively, all sensing services, or all sensing services supported by the mobile network, can be categorized as a unified type called a "sensing type." In this case, the specific sensing type of the sensing service is not distinguished, and the network device can configure unified sensing reporting indication information for all sensing services, or all sensing services supported by the mobile network. In this way, when reporting sensing service data, the terminal can determine the sensing reporting indication information based on the pre-configured correspondence between the sensing type and the sensing reporting indication information, and report based on the sensing reporting indication information.

[0072] In some implementations, the perception reporting indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0073] Instructions on reporting content;

[0074] Instructions on reporting methods;

[0075] The domain name or data network name (DNN) to which the reported content belongs;

[0076] Routing description information used for sensing data reporting.

[0077] The domain name may include a fully qualified domain name (FQDN).

[0078] For example, in the case where the first message is used to carry the correspondence between the perception type and the perception reporting indication information, the perception reporting indication information may include at least one of a reporting content indication, a reporting method indication, and a domain name or DNN to which the reported content belongs. For another example, in the case where the URSP rule is used to carry the correspondence between the perception type and the perception reporting indication information, the perception reporting indication information may include routing description information for reporting the perception data.

[0079] In one example, the reporting content indication may be used to indicate reporting of an original measurement signal obtained by the UE, or reporting of data obtained by calculating and / or processing the original measurement signal obtained by the UE.

[0080] In one example, the reporting mode indication may be used to indicate whether the reporting is carried in a control plane message or reported via a user plane transmission mode.

[0081] If the perception reporting indication information includes the domain name or DNN to which the reported content belongs, it means that the reporting method is through the user plane transmission method; therefore, in this case, the perception reporting indication information may not include a reporting method indication.

[0082] If the perception reporting indication information includes a reporting mode indication, and the reporting mode indication information indicates that the reporting is carried in a control plane message, the reporting indication information does not include the domain name or DNN to which the reported content belongs.

[0083] After performing perception, the terminal device can report the perception data according to the perception type of the perception service and the correspondence between the perception type and the perception reporting indication information.

[0084] For example, the terminal device determines the perception reporting indication information corresponding to the perception service according to the perception type of the perception service and the correspondence between the perception type and the perception reporting indication information; and reports the data of the perception service based on the perception reporting indication information corresponding to the perception service.

[0085] For example, if the perception reporting indication information includes a reporting content indication, the terminal device can report the original measurement signal obtained by the UE, or report the data obtained by calculating and / or processing the original measurement signal obtained by the UE based on the reporting content indication in the perception reporting indication information.

[0086] For example, if the perception reporting indication information includes a reporting method indication, the terminal device can report the data of the perception service in the control plane message or report the data of the perception service through the user plane transmission method based on the reporting method indication in the perception reporting indication information.

[0087] For example, if the perception reporting indication information includes the domain name to which the reported content belongs, the terminal device can determine the URSP rule that matches the domain name based on the domain name to which the reported content belongs in the perception reporting indication information, use the routing description information in the URSP rule to determine the PDU session, and use the determined PDU session to report the data of the perception service.

[0088] The above multiple methods can be reasonably combined. For example, if the reporting indication information includes both a reporting content indication and a reporting method indication, the terminal device can report in the manner indicated by the reporting method indication and report the content indicated by the reporting content indication.

[0089] In some implementations, the terminal device may report the perception data in the following manner based on the perception type of the perception service and the correspondence between the perception type and the perception reporting indication information:

[0090] The terminal device determines a URSP rule that matches a perception type of the perception service, where the URSP rule that matches the perception type of the perception service includes the perception type of the perception service;

[0091] The terminal device uses the routing description information in the URSP rule that matches the perception type of the perception service to determine the PDU session and report the data of the perception service.

[0092] For example, the routing description information in the URSP rule that matches the perception type of the perception service includes a slice identifier, and the terminal device can use the PDU session corresponding to the slice identifier to report the data of the perception service. The terminal device can also use the PDU session corresponding to the slice identifier to report the original measurement signal obtained by the UE, or report the data obtained by calculating and / or processing the original measurement signal obtained by the UE according to the pre-configured reporting content indication.

[0093] FIG4 is a schematic flow chart of a method 400 for determining a perception report according to an embodiment of the present application. The method may optionally be applied to the systems shown in FIG1 , FIG2A , or FIG2B , but is not limited thereto. The method includes at least part of the following contents.

[0094] S410. The network device sends a correspondence between the perception type and the perception reporting indication information.

[0095] The network device may include a PCF or SF. For example, the PCF or SF sends the correspondence between the perception type and the perception reporting indication information to the AMF, and the AMF sends the correspondence between the perception type and the perception reporting indication information to the terminal device to configure the perception reporting of the terminal device, so that the terminal device clearly knows how to report the perception information it has obtained to the network side, what information to report, and so on.

[0096] In some implementations, the network device sending the correspondence between the perception type and the perception reporting indication information includes: the network device sending a UE policy, the UE policy carrying the correspondence, wherein the UE policy may be a UE perception policy.

[0097] In some embodiments, the correspondence between the perception type and the perception reporting indication information sent by the network device includes: the network device sending a UE path selection policy URSP rule, the URSP rule including the perception type and the perception reporting indication information. For example, the service description information in the URSP rule includes the perception type.

[0098] In some implementations, the perception type in the correspondence includes one or more perception types. The network device may configure multiple correspondences for the terminal device, for example, configuring a correspondence between perception type 1 and perception reporting indication information 1, a correspondence between perception type 2 and perception reporting indication information 2, and so on. Alternatively, the network device may configure a correspondence between multiple perception types and one reporting indication information, a correspondence between one perception type and multiple reporting indication information, and so on.

[0099] In this way, when the terminal device reports the data of the perception service, it can determine the perception reporting indication information corresponding to the perception type of the perception service according to the correspondence between the pre-configured perception type and the perception reporting indication information, and report the perception service based on the perception reporting indication information.

[0100] Alternatively, all sensing services or all sensing services supported by the mobile network can be classified into a unified type called "sensing type". In this case, the specific sensing type of the sensing service is not distinguished, and the network equipment can configure unified sensing reporting indication information for all sensing services or all sensing services supported by the mobile network. In this way, when the terminal device reports the data of the sensing service, it can determine the sensing reporting indication information based on the pre-configured correspondence between the sensing type and the sensing reporting indication information, and report based on the sensing reporting indication information.

[0101] In some implementations, the perception reporting indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0102] Instructions on reporting content;

[0103] Instructions on reporting methods;

[0104] The domain name or DNN to which the reported content belongs;

[0105] Routing description information used for sensing data reporting.

[0106] The domain name may include an FQDN.

[0107] In one example, the reporting content indication is used to instruct reporting of an original measurement signal obtained by the UE, or reporting of data obtained by calculating and / or processing the original measurement signal obtained by the UE.

[0108] In one example, the reporting mode indication is used to indicate whether to report in a control plane message or to report via a user plane transmission mode.

[0109] In one example, the routing description information used for perception data reporting includes network slice information and / or data network name.

[0110] If the perception reporting indication information includes the domain name or DNN to which the reported content belongs, it means that the reporting method is via user plane transmission; therefore, in this case, the perception reporting indication information may not include a reporting method indication. If the perception reporting indication information includes a reporting method indication, and the reporting method indication information indicates that it is carried in a control plane message for reporting, the reporting indication information does not include the domain name or DNN to which the reported content belongs.

[0111] After the network device configures the correspondence between the perception type and the perception reporting indication information for the terminal device, the terminal device can perform perception reporting based on the correspondence; accordingly, the network device can receive perception data, which is reported by the terminal device based on the perception type of the perception service and the correspondence.

[0112] For other specific examples of the network device executing method 400 of this embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant description of the network device in the above method 300, which will not be repeated here for the sake of brevity.

[0113] The present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings with reference to specific embodiments.

[0114] Example 1:

[0115] In this embodiment, core network elements such as the Policy Control Function (PCF), the Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), and the sensing network element (SF) configure the relationship between the perception type and the perception reporting indication information to the UE.

[0116] The perception type can be one or more specific perception types, such as weather monitoring, terminal movement speed measurement, environmental imaging, etc., or it can be a type that classifies all perception services / or all perception services supported by the mobile network into a unified type called "perception".

[0117] The perception reporting indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0118] (1) Report content indication: used to indicate reporting of the original measurement signal obtained by the UE, or reporting of data obtained by calculating and / or processing the original measurement signal obtained by the UE;

[0119] (2) Reporting mode indication: used to indicate whether to report in a control plane message or via user plane transmission;

[0120] (3) If the report is transmitted via the user plane, the reporting indication information may include the domain name (eg, fully qualified domain name (FQDN)) or data network name (DNN) to which the reported content belongs.

[0121] If the reporting indication information includes the domain name or DNN to which the reported content belongs, it means that the report is reported through the user plane transmission mode, and the perception reporting indication may not include the reporting mode indication.

[0122] The relationship between the perception type and the perception reporting indication information can be included in the UE policy (UE policy) and configured to the UE. For example, a new type of UE perception policy can be set up, and the relationship between the perception type and the perception reporting indication information is carried in the UE perception policy and configured to the UE. Figure 5 is a flow chart of the implementation method of configuring the correspondence between the perception type and the perception reporting indication information in the first embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 5, the PCF or SF configures the correspondence between the perception type and the perception reporting indication information for the terminal device, carries the correspondence in the Npcf_UE policy control message, and sends the Npcf_UE policy control message to the AMF; the AMF carries the correspondence in the UE configuration update command, and sends the UE configuration update command to the terminal device (UE). The message names in Figure 5 are only examples. The embodiments of the present application can also use other messages to configure the correspondence between the perception type and the perception reporting indication information, which will not be repeated here.

[0123] When the UE subsequently performs a sensing service as a sensing node, the UE reports the sensing data according to the sensing type of the sensing service, the relationship between the sensing type configured by the network and the sensing reporting indication information.

[0124] For example, if the perception type and reporting content indication are configured, and the reporting content indication information indicates reporting of original data, the UE will directly report the measured original data; if the perception type and reporting content indication are configured, and the reporting content indication information indicates reporting of calculated and / or processed data, the UE will calculate / process the original data obtained by measurement and report the calculated / processed data.

[0125] For example, if the sensing type and reporting mode indication are configured, and the reporting mode indication information indicates the use of control plane message reporting, the UE will carry the data to be reported in the control plane message for reporting; if the sensing type and reporting mode indication are configured, and the reporting mode indication information indicates the use of user plane transmission for reporting, the UE will report the data to be reported via a PDU session. When reporting, according to the reporting content indication, the measured raw data can be directly reported; or the measured raw data can be calculated / processed and the calculated / processed data can be reported.

[0126] For example, if the perception type and the domain name (such as FQDN) or DNN to which the reported content belongs are configured, it means that the report is reported through the user plane transmission method. The UE determines the FQDN / DNN corresponding to the reported content based on the perception type of the perception service, and then uses the FQDN / DNN to match the existing URSP rules. The PDU session to be used can be determined through the matched URSP rules, and the PDU session is used for data reporting.

[0127] Example 2:

[0128] In this embodiment, the URSP rule obtained by the UE from the core network element includes a perception type, which is used to instruct the UE to match and use the URSP rule according to the perception type of the perception service, thereby determining a PDU session for reporting perception data.

[0129] Figure 6 is a flowchart of the implementation method of configuring the correspondence between the perception type and the perception reporting indication information in the second embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 6, the PCF or SF configures the URSP rule for the terminal device. The URSP rule includes the perception type. Specifically, the perception type can be included in the service description information in the URSP rule. The routing description information for perception data reporting in the URSP rule can be used as the perception reporting indication information corresponding to the perception type. Specifically, the routing description information for perception data reporting includes network slice information and / or DNN. The PCF or SF sends the URSP rule containing the perception type to the AMF, and the AMF forwards the URSP rule to the UE.

[0130] Table 1 is an example of a URSP rule that includes a perception type. As shown in Table 1, the business description information in the URSP rule has a newly added perception type. The URSP rule also includes a routing description list, and the routing description list includes routing description information. Table 2 is an example of routing description information. As shown in Table 2, the routing description information includes network slice information (such as the slice identifier in Table 2) and DNN. The network slice information and / DNN in the routing description information can be used as perception reporting indication information. The same URSP rule contains both the perception type and the network slice information and / DNN, which also includes the correspondence between the perception type and the network slice information and / DNN.

[0131] Table 1

[0132] Table 2

[0133] Using the URSP rule, the terminal device can determine the PDU session for reporting perception data.

[0134] For example, if the core network element configures URSP rule 1 and URSP rule 2 for the UE. The service description of URSP rule 1 includes perception type = a and the routing description includes slice identifier b; the service description of URSP rule 2 includes perception type = c and the routing description includes slice identifier d. Then, when the UE performs a perception task with perception type = a, the UE can determine the corresponding URSP rule 1 and report the perception data to be reported through the PDU session with slice identifier b in URSP rule 1.

[0135] For example, if the core network element configures URSP rule 3 and URSP rule 4 for the UE, the service description of URSP rule 3 includes the perception type of all perception services and the routing description includes slice identifier e; while the service description of URSP rule 4 does not include the perception type and the routing description includes slice identifier f. When the UE performs any perception service, it can determine the corresponding URSP rule 3 and report the perception data to be reported through the PDU session with slice identifier e in URSP rule 3.
