[0076] Satellite communications are widely used as an effective supplement to areas at sea and on land where terrestrial cellular communication systems lack signal coverage, particularly in ocean shipping, drilling, surveying, and fisheries. Satellite communications offer numerous advantages, including freedom from time, location, and environmental constraints, short activation times, long transmission distances, rapid network deployment, and communication costs unrelated to distance.

[0077] For satellite communications using non-geosynchronous satellites, terminal devices can access the satellite network within the satellite's coverage area. However, this coverage area is constantly changing. If the satellite's coverage area moves to another area, the terminal device will lose satellite communication with the satellite. Due to the variability of satellite communications, traditional service requirements such as ensuring call quality are more important. As service demands in satellite networks continue to increase, there is a trend towards incorporating perception measurements. However, compared to the relatively stable communication connections in terrestrial cellular networks, satellite communication systems currently lack a way to query the perception measurement capabilities of terminal devices. Specifically, current satellite network device capability queries do not include perception measurement types and support information, making it impossible to determine which perception measurement capabilities a terminal device supports. Consequently, satellite network devices are unable to accurately configure targeted perception measurements. This in turn prevents terminal devices from accurately reporting the perceived object information obtained through their perception measurements to satellite network devices, hindering the ability to meet more service demands.

[0078] To this end, this embodiment proposes a communication processing method and apparatus, in which a terminal device receives a perception measurement configuration sent by a satellite network device; then, based on the perception measurement configuration, the terminal device transmits perception object information obtained through the perception measurement to the satellite network device. By applying the technical solution of this embodiment, a query of the perception measurement capabilities of the terminal device can be incorporated into the satellite communication system, thereby accurately determining the perception measurement capability information of the terminal device. The satellite network device then performs targeted perception measurement configuration based on this capability information, enabling the terminal device to accurately report the perception object information obtained through the perception measurement to the satellite network device based on the perception measurement configuration.

[0079] The communication processing method and device provided by the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0080] FIG1 shows a structural diagram of a communication processing system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG1 , the system architecture may include a satellite network device 11 and a terminal device 12 .

[0081] In some examples, the satellite network device 11 may be an entity on the network side for transmitting or receiving signals. For example, the satellite network device may include a communication satellite, an evolved NodeB (eNB), a transmission reception point (TRP), a next generation NodeB (gNB) in an NR system, a base station in other future mobile communication systems, or an access node in a wireless fidelity (WiFi) system. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the specific technology and specific device form adopted by the satellite network device 11. The satellite network device 11 provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be composed of a central unit (CU) and a distributed unit (DU), wherein the CU may also be referred to as a control unit. The CU-DU structure may be used to split the protocol layer of a network device, such as a base station, and the functions of some protocol layers are placed in the CU for centralized control, while the functions of the remaining part or all of the protocol layers are distributed in the DU, and the DU is centrally controlled by the CU.

[0082] In some examples, the terminal device 12 can be called a terminal, user equipment, mobile station (MS), mobile terminal (MT), etc. The terminal device 12 can also be a car with communication functions, a smart car, a mobile phone, a wearable device, a tablet computer (Pad), a computer with wireless transceiver functions, a virtual reality device, an augmented reality device, a wireless terminal device in industrial control, a wireless terminal device in self-driving, a wireless terminal device in remote medical surgery, a wireless terminal device in a smart grid, a wireless terminal device in transportation safety, a wireless terminal device in a smart city, a wireless terminal device in a smart home, etc. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the specific technology and specific device form adopted by the terminal device 12.

Ordinary technicians in this field can know that with the evolution of the system architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solution proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure is also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0084] The following embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to the communication processing system shown in Figure 1, or a portion thereof, but are not limited thereto.

The number and form of the entities may be arbitrary. The connection relationship between the entities is illustrative only. The entities may be connected or disconnected, and the connection may be in any manner, whether direct or indirect, and wired or wireless.

[0085] The embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to satellite communications, Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), LTE-Beyond (LTE-B), SUPER 3G, IMT-Advanced, 4th generation mobile communication system (4G), 5th generation mobile communication system (5G), 5GNR, Future Radio Access (FRA), New-Radio Access Technology (RAT), New Radio (NR), New Radio Access (NX), Future generation radio access (FX), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM (registered trademark)), CDMA2000, Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.20, Ultra-WideBand (UWB), Bluetooth (registered trademark), Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) networks, Device-to-Device (D2D) systems, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) systems, Internet of Things (IoT) systems, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), systems utilizing other communication methods, and next-generation systems based on and extending these methods. Furthermore, multiple systems may be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G).

[0086] In some examples, satellite network device 11 queries terminal device 12 for sensing measurement capability information and then, based on the capability information, sends a sensing measurement configuration for terminal device 12. Terminal device 12 may report sensing object information obtained through sensing measurement to satellite network device 11 based on the sensing measurement configuration.

[0087] By applying the technical solution of this embodiment, it is possible to add a query on the perception measurement capability of the terminal device to the satellite communication system, and then accurately determine the perception measurement capability information of the terminal device, so that the satellite network device can perform the perception measurement configuration of the terminal device in a targeted manner according to the capability information, so that the terminal device can accurately report the perception object information obtained by the perception measurement to the satellite network device according to the perception measurement configuration.

[0088] Furthermore, to illustrate the specific execution process of the above-mentioned communication processing system, FIG2 shows a timing diagram of a communication processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method is applied to the above-mentioned communication processing system, as shown in FIG2, and may include the following steps:

[0089] Step 201: The satellite network device obtains the capability information of the terminal device for performing perception measurement.

[0090] The capability information indicates the ability of the terminal device to perform perception measurement. That is, the satellite network device can determine the terminal's capability for perception measurement through the capability information.

[0091] In some embodiments, step 201 may specifically include: the satellite network device sends first information, which is used to request the terminal device to sense the measurement capability information; then, the terminal can send the sensing measurement capability information to the satellite network device, and accordingly, the satellite network device can receive the terminal device's sensing measurement capability information.

[0092] The first information may be a communication message, such as a signaling or an indication message, etc.

[0093] In some embodiments, the satellite network device sending the first information may specifically include: the satellite network device sending capability query information of the terminal device, where the capability query information carries the first information.

[0094] For example, the satellite network device may send capability query information to the terminal device to obtain the terminal device's capability information for sensing and measurement. Alternatively, the satellite network device may query the terminal device's capability information for sensing and measurement through other network devices, such as if the other network devices have recorded the terminal device's capability information for sensing and measurement, or the satellite network device may send capability query information to the terminal device through other network devices to obtain the terminal device's capability information for sensing and measurement. Alternatively, when the terminal device registers on the network, the terminal device proactively reports its terminal capability information, and the terminal device's capability information for sensing and measurement may be obtained from the terminal capability information. That is, the satellite network device may send capability query information to the terminal device, or may send capability query information to other network devices, so that the network device obtains the terminal device's capability information for sensing and measurement and performs targeted configuration. In some embodiments, before the satellite network device sends the first information for inquiring the terminal device for the capability information for sensing and measurement, the method may further include: determining, during the terminal device network registration process, that the terminal device supports sensing and measurement.

[0095] For example, after the terminal device registers to the network, the satellite network device only knows that the terminal device supports perception measurement, but does not know the perception measurement type and specific information that the terminal device can support. In this case, a first message can be sent to inquire about the terminal device's perception measurement capability information, and then the perception measurement type and specific information supported by the terminal device can be obtained. Subsequently, if the terminal device initiates a perception service, the satellite network device can send the perception measurement configuration of the terminal device in a targeted manner based on the perception measurement type and specific information supported by the terminal device when the terminal device needs to report the perception object information.

[0096] In some embodiments, before the satellite network device sends the first information for requesting the terminal device's perception measurement capability information, the method may also include: determining whether the terminal device initiates a perception service request. For example, when the terminal device initiates a perception service request, the satellite network device may send the first information for querying the terminal device's support for the perception measurement type and specific information, and then, based on the perception measurement type and specific information supported by the terminal device, the perception measurement configuration of the terminal device may be sent in a targeted manner.

[0097] For example, the terminal device may be a vehicle. When the vehicle is just started, the satellite network device may query the perception measurement types and specific information supported by the vehicle in order to analyze the surrounding environment of the vehicle. Then, based on the perception measurement types and specific information supported by the vehicle, the vehicle's perception measurement configuration may be sent in a targeted manner to instruct the vehicle to report the perception object information of objects around it to the satellite network device.

[0098] In some embodiments, the capability information of the terminal device sensing measurement may include at least one of the following (A1 to A6):

[0099] A1. Perception measurement types supported by the terminal device.

[0100] A2: The type of perception results supported by the terminal device. For example, the perception results supported by the terminal device include departure angle, arrival angle, delay, etc. This type mainly indicates the capability of the terminal device to support measurement.

[0101] A3. The type of perception results that the terminal device supports calculation. For example, the perception results that the terminal device supports calculation include the distance, speed, angle, etc. of the target. This type can mainly indicate the terminal device's ability to support calculations, such as performing calculations based on measurement results to obtain required parameter information.

[0102] A4. The terminal device's processing capability for receiving and sensing signals, for example, the maximum number of targets the terminal device can simultaneously sense, the maximum distance it can sense, etc.

[0103] A5. The terminal device's ability to recognize targets, for example, the terminal device's ability to recognize targets or the types of targets it can perceive, such as only supporting the perception of specific target types.

[0104] A6. The perception accuracy supported by the terminal device, for example, the perception result accuracy supported by measurement, the perception result accuracy supported by calculation, etc.

[0105] In some embodiments, the perception measurement type may include at least one of the following (B1 to B4):

[0106] B1: A network device sends a sensing signal, and a terminal device receives the sensing signal and reports a first type of sensing measurement result. The network device may be a base station or a satellite network device. For example, type 1 is sent by A and received by B. For example, the base station sends a sensing signal, the terminal device receives the sensing signal, analyzes the received sensing signal, analyzes the sensing measurement results of nearby objects, and reports the sensing measurement results.

[0107] B2. The terminal device sends a perception signal, receives the perception signal and reports the second type of perception measurement result, for example, type 2 of self-transmission and self-reception, such as when the terminal device sends a perception signal, the terminal device receives the perception signal, analyzes the received perception signal, analyzes the perception measurement results of the objects around it and reports the perception measurement results.

[0108] B3: A third type of data transmission involves a network device sending a sensing signal, which is then received by both the network device and the terminal device, and the terminal device reporting auxiliary sensing measurement results. The network device may be a base station or a satellite network device. For example, in a scenario where the base station needs to analyze the sensing parameters of objects within a specific area, the base station sends a sensing signal, which is then received by both the base station and the terminal device. The base station analyzes the received sensing signal and the sensing measurement results of objects near the terminal device. The terminal device then reports the auxiliary sensing results to help the base station perform a comprehensive analysis.

[0109] B4: The fourth type involves the terminal device sending a perception signal, the network device and the terminal device receiving the perception signal, and the terminal device reporting auxiliary perception measurement results. The network device may be a base station or a satellite network device. For example, in type 4, where both A and B receive and the base station needs to analyze the perception parameters of objects within a specific area, the terminal device sends a perception signal, which is received by both the base station and the terminal device. The base station analyzes the received perception signal and the perception measurement results of objects near the terminal device. The terminal device can then report the auxiliary perception results to help the base station perform a comprehensive analysis.

[0110] For example, the terminal may add the above-mentioned perception measurement capability information to the terminal capability information (UECapabilityInformation) reported by it, such as adding the capability information separately to the terminal capability information, or adding the capability information to a certain information, such as adding the capability information to the measurement and mobility parameters (measAndMobParameters). The capability information may specifically include: whether perception measurement type type 1 is supported, whether perception measurement type type 2 is supported, whether perception measurement type type 3 is supported, whether perception measurement type type 4 is supported, the types of perception results supported for measurement, the types of perception results supported for calculation, the processing capability of received perception signals, the recognition capability of perception targets, the supported perception accuracy, etc.

[0111] Step 202: The satellite network device sends the terminal device a perception measurement configuration based on the perception measurement capability information of the terminal device.

[0112] In some embodiments, the perception measurement configuration includes at least one or more of the following (a1, a2, a3):

[0113] a1. The first identifier of the object to be sensed and measured; the object to be sensed and measured may refer to an object requiring sensing and measurement, such as a vehicle, person, or other object, and may be referred to as a target cluster. If the satellite network device knows in advance which objects are near the terminal device, it may pre-specify the objects that the terminal device needs to sense and measure, and issue a corresponding first identifier, such as an object identifier (ObjectID). This allows the terminal device to carry the corresponding ObjectID when subsequently reporting object information, allowing the satellite network device to clearly identify the object to which the reported object information corresponds. If the satellite network device does not know in advance which objects are near the terminal device, it may also allocate some ObjectIDs. This allows the terminal device to carry the corresponding ObjectID when subsequently reporting object information, allowing the satellite network device to clearly identify the object identifier corresponding to the reported object information.

[0114] a2. The second identifier of the trigger reporting configuration; the trigger reporting configuration may refer to the configuration of trigger reporting conditions for the terminal device to report object information, that is, under what conditions can the perception measurement object information be reported. For example, the satellite network device and the terminal device may pre-agreed on the trigger reporting configuration and the second identifier corresponding to each configuration, such as the report configuration identifier (Report config ID). In this way, the satellite network device can subsequently indicate which trigger reporting configuration to use by issuing the Report config ID. It should be noted that in addition to this, the satellite network device may also directly issue the trigger reporting configuration to be used.

[0115] a3. A third identifier for the perception measurement, where the third identifier can be used to determine the association between the first identifier and the second identifier, thereby clarifying the trigger reporting configuration used for the target object under test. For example, the satellite network device issues a third identifier for the perception measurement, such as a measurement identifier (Measure ID). Based on the ObjectID and Report config ID in the above example, the Measure ID can be used to determine the association between the ObjectID and the Report config ID. The terminal device can use the Measure ID to determine the trigger reporting configuration used for each object under test.

[0116] For example, the satellite network device can send down multiple first identifiers (a11, a12, a13), multiple second identifiers (a21, a22, a23) and multiple third identifiers (a31, a32, a33), wherein the third identifier a31 indicates the association relationship between the first identifier a11 and the second identifier a21, that is, the measurement object to be perceived corresponding to the first identifier a11 needs to use the trigger reporting configuration corresponding to the second identifier a21; the third identifier a32 indicates the association relationship between the first identifier a12 and the second identifier a22, that is, the measurement object to be perceived corresponding to the first identifier a12 needs to use the trigger reporting configuration corresponding to the second identifier a22; the third identifier a33 indicates the association relationship between the first identifier a13 and the second identifier a23, that is, the measurement object to be perceived corresponding to the first identifier a13 needs to use the trigger reporting configuration corresponding to the second identifier a23.

[0117] For another example, the satellite network device can also send down a single first identifier b11 and a single second identifier b21. The terminal device can determine that the first identifier b11 and the second identifier b21 are associated based on the first identifier b11 and the second identifier b21, that is, the measurement object to be sensed corresponding to the first identifier b11 needs to use the trigger reporting configuration corresponding to the second identifier b21.

[0118] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the trigger reporting configuration may specifically include: a trigger reporting type; and a perception intensity threshold corresponding to the trigger reporting type. Different trigger reporting types represent different trigger reporting conditions. In this embodiment, each trigger reporting type may have a corresponding perception intensity threshold, which can be pre-set based on actual needs.

[0119] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the trigger reporting type includes at least one of the following:

[0120] Event-triggered reporting type; periodically triggered reporting type.

[0121] For example, for the event-triggered reporting type, that is, the relevant parameters of the perception object are reported when the perception object meets a certain event, such as when the perception object strength corresponding to object a is greater than the set perception strength threshold (Th1), the perception object related parameters of object a are reported; for another example, when the perception object strength corresponding to object b is greater than the set perception strength threshold (Th1) and lasts for a certain preset time, the perception object related parameters of object b are reported; for another example, when the perception object strength corresponding to object c is greater than the set perception strength threshold (Th1) and exceeds a certain threshold of Th1, the perception object related parameters of object c are reported.

[0122] For another example, for the periodic triggered reporting type, that is, periodically reporting parameters related to objects that can be sensed around the terminal device and whose sense intensity is greater than the set sense intensity threshold (Th2), the time interval corresponding to the period can be set according to actual needs.

[0123] In some embodiments, the perception measurement configuration may also include configuration information instructing the terminal device on how to perform perception measurements on the object to be measured. Accordingly, after receiving the perception measurement configuration, the terminal device may perform perception measurements according to the perception measurement configuration to obtain perception object information, and then transmit the perception object information to the satellite network device.

[0124] For example, the perception measurement configuration includes instructing the terminal device to transmit a perception signal, which the terminal device receives, and then analyzes the received perception signal to determine relevant perception parameters of the object under test. The perception measurement configuration may also include instructions for the terminal device on how to obtain the relevant perception parameters of the object under test, such as requiring the terminal device to obtain the distance, speed, and angle corresponding to the object under test, as well as measuring the departure angle and arrival angle corresponding to the object under test, and the unit precision to be used for these parameters. These perception measurement configurations can be configured by the satellite network device based on the perception measurement capability information of the terminal device. Specifically, the perception measurement configuration of the terminal device can be configured specifically based on the perception measurement capabilities supported by the terminal device. For example, based on the perception measurement types supported by the terminal device, the types of perception results supported for measurement, the types of perception results supported for calculation, the processing capabilities of received perception signals, the recognition capabilities of perception targets, and the supported perception accuracy, and in combination with actual measurement requirements, the terminal device can select which objects under test need to be perceived and measured, configure the corresponding measurement method, and trigger reporting configuration, etc.

[0125] By applying the technical solution of this embodiment, it is possible to add a query on the perception measurement capability of the terminal device to the satellite communication system, and then accurately determine the perception measurement capability information of the terminal device, so that the satellite network device can perform the perception measurement configuration of the terminal device in a targeted manner according to the capability information, so that the terminal device can accurately report the perception object information obtained by the perception measurement to the satellite network device according to the perception measurement configuration.
