Description

A data reporting method, a data receiving method and related equipment

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the State Intellectual Property Office on September 19, 2023, with application number 202311218490.8 and application name “A data reporting method, data receiving method and related equipment”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0002] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a data reporting method, a data receiving method and related equipment. Background Art

[0003] Communication-aware integration is a key technology in next-generation wireless communication systems, aiming to integrate wireless communication and awareness functions into a single system. To achieve this integration, the various propagation characteristics of wireless signals must be leveraged to perceive targets, obtain information about the surrounding physical environment, improve communication performance, and enhance the user experience. This perception can include positioning, detection, imaging, and identification. Specifically, in communication-aware integration, a network device transmits a perception signal, which is then reflected by an object in the environment and received by the network device or another network device. The network device then analyzes the perception signal to achieve target perception. For example, by analyzing the time delay of the perception signal relative to the transmission time, the distance between the target and the network device can be determined; by analyzing the Doppler shift of the perception signal relative to the transmission time, the target's velocity can be determined.

[0004] After receiving the sensing signal, the network device processes it and then reports the data based on the processing results. In existing technologies, the amount of data reported by network devices is too large, resulting in a large amount of bandwidth resources being occupied, which may ultimately affect the data reporting speed.

[0005] Therefore, in the process of communication perception, how to reduce the amount of data reported by network devices is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0006] Summary of the Invention

[0007] The present application provides a data reporting method, a data receiving method and related equipment, which are used to reduce the amount of data reported by network devices during communication perception.

[0008] The first aspect of the present application provides a data reporting method, which is applied to a first device and is executed by the first device, or the method is executed by some components in the first device (such as a processor, a chip or a chip system, etc.), or the method can also be implemented by a logic module or software that can realize all or part of the functions of the first device. In the first aspect and its possible implementation, the method is described as being executed by the first device. In this method, the first device determines the type of perception data to be reported, and the perception data is obtained by performing a perception task; when the type of the perception data is the first type, the first device determines the parameters included in the first information, and the first information is auxiliary information used when processing the perception data; the first device determines the first information based on the parameters included in the first information; the first device reports the first information and the perception data. Alternatively, in this method, the first device determines the type of perception data to be reported and the parameters included in the first information, the perception data is obtained by performing a perception task, and the first information is auxiliary information used when processing the perception data; when the type of the perception data is the first type, the first information includes parameters corresponding to the first type; the first device determines the first information based on the parameters included in the first information; the first device reports the first information and the perception data.

[0009] In an embodiment of the present application, the first device determines the type of sensory data. When the sensory data is of the first type, the first device determines the parameters included in the first information that is compatible with the first type. The first information is auxiliary information used when processing the sensory data. In other words, in an embodiment of the present application, it is not necessary to report the auxiliary information required for each type of sensory data, but only the auxiliary information required for the first type of sensory data. Therefore, in an embodiment of the present application, the amount of information reported by the first device for assisting in the processing of the sensory data can be reduced, thereby reducing the amount of data reported by the first device, that is, the network device.

[0010] In a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the first device determines the type of the perception data according to a received first request message, where the first request message instructs execution of the perception task.

[0011] Based on the above technical solution, the first device determines the type of the perception data according to the first request message, so that the type of the perception data reported by the first device meets the requirements of the device sending the first request message.

[0012] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the type of the perception data is carried in the first request message; or the first request message carries the requirements of the perception task, then the first device can determine the type of the perception data in the following manner: the first device determines the type of the perception data according to the requirements of the perception task and / or the perception capability information, and the perception capability information includes: at least one of perception resolution, perception accuracy, perception range, perception refresh rate, false detection rate, and missed detection rate.

[0013] Based on the above technical solution, two methods of determining the type of perception data are provided. One is that the device sending the first request message directly informs the first device of the type of perception data it needs through the first request message. Through this interactive method, the first device can directly determine the type of perception data that needs to be reported. The other is that the device sending the first request message informs the first device of the requirements of the perception task through the first request message, and the first device determines the type of perception data based on this requirement, so that the type of perception data reported by the first device is finally adapted to the requirements of the perception task.

[0014] Optionally, the perception function network element in the core network element receives a perception task request message sent by an upper-layer network element, where the request message carries the requirements of the perception task.

[0015] Optionally, the requirement of the perception task is a quality of service (QoS) requirement, and the QoS requirement includes at least one of: perception resolution, perception accuracy, perception range, perception refresh rate, false detection rate, missed detection rate, and perception delay.

[0016] Optionally, the core network element determines which devices can participate in the sensing task based on the sensing capability information and the sensing task requirements.

[0017] In a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the type of the perception data is carried in the first request message, and before determining the type of the perception data, the first device reports the perception capability information to the core network element.

[0018] Based on the above technical solution, the first device reports its own perception capability information, so that the device that receives the first request message can determine whether the first device can participate in a certain perception task based on the perception capability of the first device, and determine the type of perception data that the first device needs to report.

[0019] In addition to determining the parameters included in the first information only after the first device determines that the type of the perception data is the first type, the first device may also determine the parameters included in the first information when it does not determine the type of the perception data.

[0020] Optionally, the first device receives an indication message, where the indication message is used to indicate parameters that the first information needs to include.

[0021] Optionally, the indication message is a first request message, that is, the first request message is also used to indicate parameters that the first information needs to include.

[0022] In addition to determining the parameters included in the first information only after the first device determines that the type of the perception data is the first type when the type of the perception data is the first type, the first device can also determine the parameters included in the first information when it is not sure about the type of the perception data. The first device can first determine the parameters included in the first information, and then determine the type of the perception data; it can also first determine the type of the perception data, and then determine the parameters included in the first information; or, determine both at the same time. This application does not limit this. For example, the first device can determine the type of the perception data, and then determine the parameters included in the first information according to the type of the perception data. For another example, the first device can determine the parameters included in the first information by other means.

[0023] Optionally, the first device receives an indication message, where the indication message is used to indicate parameters that the first information needs to include.

[0024] Optionally, the indication message is a first request message, that is, the first request message is also used to indicate parameters that the first information needs to include.

[0025] Based on the above solution, the first device can directly obtain the parameters required to be included in the first information according to the first request message or indication message, without the need for the first device to determine that the type of the perception data is the first type before determining the parameters included in the first information.

[0026] Optionally, when the first type is a baseband signal, the first information consists of at least one parameter of the configuration information of the perception resource, time slot information, frame information, timestamp information, and beam direction.

[0027] Optionally, when the first type is a baseband signal, the first information does not include: indication information of the target object.

[0028] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, when the first type is data for describing signal characteristics, the first device determines that the first information includes: at least one parameter of the time slot information, the frame information, the timestamp information, and the beam direction.

[0029] Based on the above technical solution, when the first type is data used to describe the characteristics of the perception signal, reporting time slot information, frame information, or beam direction can assist in the processing of the perception data, and reporting timestamp information can assist in the integration of the perception data with other perception data. After receiving the perception signal, the first device first demodulates the perception signal to obtain a baseband signal, and then performs signal processing on the baseband signal to obtain data used to describe the signal characteristics. The first device can perform signal processing on the baseband signal in the following manner:

[0030] Optionally, when the first type is data used to describe signal characteristics, the first information consists of at least one parameter of time slot information, frame information, timestamp information, and beam direction.

[0031] Optionally, when the first type is data used to describe signal characteristics, the first information does not include: configuration information of the perception resource and indication information of the target object.

[0032] Optionally, the first device performs channel estimation on the baseband signal to obtain channel state information (CSI), and reports the CSI information as perception data to the core network element.

[0033] Optionally, the first device performs Fourier transform on the above-mentioned CSI information to obtain the delay spectrum, distance spectrum, speed spectrum or angle spectrum of the perception signal, and reports these data as perception data to the core network network element. These data are used by the core network to determine the two-dimensional representation of the perception signal, facilitating the core network network element to perform further target detection.

[0034] Optionally, the first device calculates the reference signal reception power, reference signal reception quality, signal-to-noise ratio, etc. of the baseband signal, and reports these data as perception data to the core network network element.

[0035] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, when the first type is data used to describe characteristics of a target object, the first device determines that the first information includes: indication information of the target object and at least one parameter in the timestamp information, wherein the target object is the object perceived by the perception task.

[0036] Based on the above technical solution, when the first type is data used to describe the characteristics of the target object, reporting the indication information of the target object can help determine whether the object perceived by the first device and the object perceived by other devices are the same object, so that in the case of the same object, the perception data is fused with the perception data that the perception object is the same object, and by reporting the timestamp information, the fusion of the perception data and other perception data can be assisted.

[0037] Optionally, when the first type is data used to describe characteristics of a target object, the first information is composed of at least one parameter of indication information and timestamp information of the target object.

[0038] Optionally, when the first type is data used to describe characteristics of a target object, the first information does not include: configuration information of the perception resource, time slot information, frame information, and beam direction.

[0039] Optionally, the indication information of the target object is an identification (ID) of the target object.

[0040] Optionally, when the first device is a user equipment, the first information reported by the user equipment to the core network element further includes: location information of the user equipment or an absolute coordinate system of a perception area of ​​the user equipment.

[0041] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, before reporting the first information and the perception data, the first device receives a first constraint sent by a core network element, wherein the first constraint is used to constrain the number of target objects included in the perception data.

[0042] Based on the above technical solution, by sending the first constraint to the first device, the number of target objects included in the perception data finally reported by the first device can be controlled, thereby controlling the data volume of the perception data reported by the first device.

[0043] Optionally, when the first device obtains the perception data through a target detection algorithm, the first constraint is a threshold of the target detection algorithm, or a threshold detection algorithm. After receiving the threshold, the first device can determine which objects are valid objects, i.e., target objects, based on the threshold, and report these target objects.

[0044] Optionally, the threshold may be a confidence threshold or an intersection over union (IoU) threshold of an object detection algorithm.

[0045] Optionally, when the first device obtains the perception data by estimating a parameter of the perceived object, the first constraint is a mean square error of the estimated parameter, and the parameter includes: distance, speed, angle, or position.

[0046] Optionally, the first request message may also be used to instruct the first device to establish a perception resource configuration related to the perception task. The core network element may also instruct the first device to establish a perception resource configuration related to the perception task by sending other request messages. Accordingly, the first device configures the perception resources and, after the perception resource configuration is established, sends an indication message to the core network element to indicate that the perception resource configuration has been completed.

[0047] Optionally, when the type of perception data reported by the first device is a baseband signal, the first device needs to report the configuration information of the perception resource, and the configuration information of the perception resource is carried in the above-mentioned indication message. If the indication message does not carry the configuration information of the perception resource, the core network network element sends a request message to the first device to request the first device to send the configuration information of the perception resource.

[0048] Optionally, the configuration information of the perception resource includes: time-frequency domain resource configuration of the perception signal or a sequence format used by the perception signal.

[0049] Optionally, the device that reports the configuration information of the perception resource can be the first device that sends the perception signal or the device that receives the perception signal. When it is the first device that sends the perception signal, the configuration information can be carried in the above-mentioned indication message; when it is the first device that receives the perception signal, the device that sends the perception signal sends the configuration information of the perception resource to the device that receives the perception signal, so that the device that receives the perception signal can demodulate the perception signal according to the configuration information and report the configuration information of the perception resource to the core network network element.

[0050] Optionally, when the first device is a base station, the core network network element receives the first request message, and the request message is used to instruct the first device to establish a perception resource configuration related to the perception task. The base station receives the first request message, configures the perception resources, generates and sends a perception signal; when the first device is a user device, since the user device cannot directly configure the perception resources, the core network network element needs to first send a first request message to the base stations around the user device. After receiving the first request message, the base station configures the perception resources and sends an indication of the perception resources that can be used to the user device. After receiving the indication information, the user device selects the perception resources therefrom, generates and sends a perception signal.

[0051] In a second aspect, the present application provides a data receiving method, which is applied to a core network element. The method is executed by the core network element, or the method is executed by some components in the core network element (such as a processor, chip, or chip system, etc.), or the method can also be implemented by a logic module or software that can realize all or part of the functions of the core network element. In the second aspect and its possible implementation, the method is described as being executed by the core network element. In this method, the core network element receives first information and perception data; the perception data is obtained by performing a perception task, and the first information is auxiliary information used when processing the perception data; when the type of the perception data is the first type, the core network element determines the parameters included in the first information; and the core network element processes the perception data according to the first information.

[0052] In this embodiment of the present application, when the type of perception data reported by the first device is the first type, the core network element determines parameters included in first information, where the first information is auxiliary information used in processing the perception data. In other words, in this embodiment of the present application, the core network does not require the network device to report the auxiliary information required for each type of perception data, but only requires the network device to report the auxiliary information required for the first type of perception data. Therefore, in this embodiment of the present application, the amount of information reported by the network device to assist in the processing of the perception data can be reduced, thereby reducing the amount of data reported by the network device.

[0053] In a possible implementation manner of the second aspect, a core network element sends a first request message, where the first request message instructs execution of the perception task.

[0054] Based on the above technical solution, the core network network element sends a first request message to the first device. Accordingly, the first device determines the type of perception data to be reported based on the message, so that the type of perception data finally reported by the first device meets the requirements of the core network network element.

[0055] In a possible implementation of the second aspect, the core network network element receives perception capability information, wherein the perception capability information includes: at least one of perception resolution, perception accuracy, perception range, perception refresh rate, false detection rate, and missed detection rate; the core network network element determines the type of the perception data based on the perception capability information and / or the requirements of the perception task.

[0056] Based on the above technical solution, the first device reports its own sensing capabilities to the core network element. The core network element then determines a sensing service type that matches the first device's sensing capabilities and sends the sensing task type to the first device. Ultimately, the type of sensing data reported by the first device is compatible with its own sensing capabilities. The technical effect of the above solution is that because the core network element determines the type of sensing data, rather than the first device, it can save time and resources consumed by the first device.

[0057] Optionally, the core network network element determines the type of perception data that the first device needs to report based on the requirements of the perception task and / or the perception capability information. When the type of the perception data is the first type, the core network network element determines the auxiliary information required to process this type of perception data, thereby determining the parameters included in the first information, and sends an indication message to the first device, which is used to indicate the parameters that the first information needs to include.

[0058] Optionally, the core network element receives the perception data reported by the first device, determines some auxiliary information required to process the perception data, thereby determining the parameters included in the first information, and sends an indication message to the first device, which is used to indicate the parameters that the first information needs to include.

[0059] Optionally, the indication message sent by the core network element is a first request message.

[0060] In a possible implementation manner of the second aspect, the first request message carries the requirement of the perception task.

[0061] Based on the above technical solution, the core network element sends the sensing task requirements to the first device, which then determines the sensing service type that meets the sensing task requirements. Ultimately, the type of sensing data reported by the first device is compatible with the sensing task requirements. The above solution has the technical effect of saving time and resources consumed by the core network element because the first device determines the type of sensing data, eliminating the need for the core network element to do so.

[0062] In a possible implementation of the second aspect, when the first type is a baseband signal, the core network element determines that the first information includes: configuration information of the perception resource, time slot information, frame information, timestamp information, and at least one parameter of the beam direction.

[0063] Optionally, when the first type is a baseband signal, the first information consists of at least one parameter of the configuration information of the perception resource, time slot information, frame information, timestamp information, and beam direction.

[0064] Optionally, when the first type is a baseband signal, the first information does not include: indication information of the target object.

[0065] Based on the above technical solution, when the type of perception data reported by the first device is a baseband signal, by reporting the configuration information of the perception resources, time slot information, frame information or beam direction, the core network element can be assisted in demodulating the perception data, and by reporting the timestamp information, the core network element can be assisted in fusing the perception data with other perception data.

[0066] In a possible implementation of the second aspect, when the first type is data used to describe signal characteristics, the core network element determines that the first information includes: the time slot information, the frame information, the timestamp information, and at least one parameter of the beam direction.

[0067] Based on the above technical solution, when the first type is data used to describe the characteristics of the perception signal, the first device reports time slot information, frame information or beam direction, which can assist the core network element in processing the perception data, and reports timestamp information, which can assist the core network element in fusing the perception data with other perception data.

[0068] Optionally, when the first type is data used to describe signal characteristics, the first information consists of at least one parameter of time slot information, frame information, timestamp information, and beam direction.

[0069] Optionally, when the first type is data used to describe signal characteristics, the first information does not include: configuration information of the perception resource and indication information of the target object.

[0070] In a possible implementation of the second aspect, when the first type is data used to describe the characteristics of a target object, the core network element determines that the first information includes: indication information of the target object and at least one parameter in the timestamp information, wherein the target object is the object perceived by the perception task.

[0071] Based on the above technical solution, when the first type is data used to describe the characteristics of the target object, reporting the indication information of the target object can help the core network network element determine whether the object perceived by the first device and the object perceived by other devices are the same object, so that in the case of the same object, the perception data is merged with the perception data of the same object as the perception object, and by reporting the timestamp information, the core network network element can be assisted in fusing the perception data with other perception data.

[0072] Optionally, when the first type is data used to describe characteristics of a target object, the first information is composed of at least one parameter of indication information and timestamp information of the target object.

[0073] Optionally, when the first type is data used to describe characteristics of a target object, the first information does not include: configuration information of the perception resource, time slot information, frame information, and beam direction.

[0074] In a possible implementation manner of the second aspect, a core network element sends a first constraint, where the first constraint is used to constrain the number of the target objects included in the perception data.

[0075] Based on the above technical solution, the core network element sends a first constraint to the first device to inform the first device of its requirement on the number of target objects, so that the first device can report perception data that meets the requirement. Furthermore, the core network element can send the first constraint to control the number of target objects included in the perception data reported by the first device, thereby controlling the amount of perception data reported by the first device.

[0076] In a possible implementation manner of the second aspect, the core network element adjusts the first constraint according to the number of the target objects included in the perception data to obtain a second constraint; and the core network element sends the second constraint.

[0077] Based on the above technical solution, the core network network element adjusts the first constraint according to the number of objects included in the perception data reported by the first device. The first constraint is used to constrain the number of target objects included in the perception data, and thus the number of target objects reported by the first device is continuously adjusted according to the perception data reported by the first device.

[0078] Optionally, the core network network element may process the perception data in the following manner: if the first type is configuration information of the perception resource, time slot information of the perception signal, frame information or beam direction of the perception signal, the core network network element demodulates the perception data according to the first information; or if the first type is timestamp information, the core network network element determines the moment when the first device performs perception based on the first information, and merges the perception data with other perception data based on the first information; or if the first type is indication information of the target object, the core network network element determines whether the perception data and the object described by the other perception data are the same object based on the indication information of the target object; if they are the same object, the core network network element merges the perception data with the other perception data.

Wearable devices may also be referred to as wearable smart devices or smart wearable devices, etc., 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, etc., 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, smart helmets, and smart jewelry for vital sign monitoring.

[0125] The various terminals introduced above, if located on a vehicle, for example, placed in or installed in a vehicle, can be considered as vehicle-mounted terminals. For example, a vehicle-mounted terminal is also called an on-board unit (OBU).

[0127] 2. The network equipment involved in this application can be any device with wireless transceiver function, or a chip set in a device with specific wireless transceiver function.

The RAN equipment can also be a module or unit that completes part of the functions of a base station, for example, a centralized unit (CU), a distributed unit (DU), or a radio unit (RU). The CU here implements the functions of the radio resource control protocol and packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) of the base station, and can also implement the functions of the service data adaptation protocol (SDAP); the DU implements the functions of the radio link control layer and medium access control (MAC) layer of the base station, and can also implement some or all of the physical layer functions. For detailed descriptions of the above-mentioned protocol layers, please refer to the relevant technical specifications of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). The CU and DU can be set separately, or they can be included in the same network element, such as the baseband unit (BBU). The RU can be included in a radio frequency device or radio frequency unit, such as a remote radio unit (RRU), an active antenna unit (AAU), or a remote radio head (RRH). In different systems, CU, DU, or RU may have different names, but those skilled in the art will understand their meanings.For example, in the ORAN system, CU can also be called O-CU (open CU), DU can also be called O-DU, and RU can also be called O-RU. Any unit of CU (or CU-CP, CU-UP), DU and RU in this application can be implemented by a software module, a hardware module, or a combination of a software module and a hardware module. The wireless access network device can be a macro base station, a micro base station or an indoor station, a relay node or a donor node, etc. The network device in the embodiment of the present application can be any of the above-mentioned devices or devices in the device, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific technology and specific device form adopted by the network device. For the convenience of description, the network device is used as the abbreviation of the wireless access network device, and the base station is used as an example of a wireless access network device.

[0128] Among them, the network device can send configuration information to the terminal device (for example, carried in a scheduling message and / or an indication message), and the terminal device further performs network configuration according to the configuration information, so that the network configurations between the network device and the terminal device are aligned; or, through the network configuration preset in the network device and the network configuration preset in the terminal device, the network configurations between the network device and the terminal device are aligned. Specifically, "alignment" means that when there are interactive messages between the network device and the terminal device, the two have a consistent understanding of the carrier frequency for sending and receiving interactive messages, the determination of the interactive message type, the meaning of the field information carried in the interactive message, or other configurations of the interactive message.

[0129] In addition, in other possible cases, the network device may be another device that provides wireless communication functions for the terminal device. The embodiments of this application do not limit the specific technology and specific device form used by the network device. For the convenience of description, the embodiments of this application are not limited.

[0130] The network device may also include a core network device, which may include, for example, an AMF, a user plane function (UPF), or a session management function (SMF).

[0131] In the embodiments of the present application, the apparatus for implementing the function of the network device may be the network device, or may be a device capable of supporting the network device in implementing the function, such as a chip system, which may be installed in the network device. In the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application are described by taking the network device as an example.

[0132] 3. The terms "system" and "network" in the embodiments of the present application can be used interchangeably. "At least one" means one or more, and "plurality" means two or more. "And / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone, where A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the previous and next associated objects are in an "or" relationship. "At least one of the following" or similar expressions refers to any combination of these items, including any combination of single or plural items. For example, "at least one of A, B and C" includes A, B, C, AB, AC, BC or ABC. And, unless otherwise specified, the ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second" mentioned in the embodiments of the present application are used to distinguish multiple objects, and are not used to limit the order, timing, priority or importance of multiple objects.

[0133] The following is an example of the system architecture of the embodiment of the present application.

[0134] The present application can be applied to a long term evolution (LTE) system, a new radio (NR) system, or other communication systems, wherein the communication system includes a network device and a terminal device, the network device serves as a configuration information sending entity, and the terminal device serves as a configuration information receiving entity. Specifically, in the communication system, there is an entity that sends configuration information to another entity, and sends data to another entity, or receives data sent by another entity; another entity receives the configuration information, and sends data to the configuration information sending entity according to the configuration information, or receives data sent by the configuration information sending entity. Among them, the present application can be applied to a terminal device in a connected state or an active state (active), and can also be applied to a terminal device in an unconnected state (inactive) or an idle state (idle).

[0135] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of a possible, non-limiting application scenario provided by this application. The solution provided by this application can be applied to the communication system 1000 shown in Figure 1.

[0136] As shown in Figure 1, the communication system includes a wireless access network 100 and a core network 200. Optionally, the communication system 1000 may also include the Internet 300. The wireless access network 100 may include at least one wireless access network device (which may also be understood as a type of network device described above, such as 110a and 110b in Figure 1) and may also include at least one terminal (which may also be understood as a terminal device described above, such as 120a-120j in Figure 1). Furthermore, the wireless access network device may be a macro base station (such as 110a in Figure 1), a micro base station or an indoor station (such as 110b in Figure 1), a relay node, a donor node, etc. It is understood that all or part of the functions of the wireless access network device in this application may also be implemented through software functions running on hardware, or through virtualized functions instantiated on a platform (e.g., a cloud platform). The embodiments of this application do not limit the specific technology and device form used by the wireless access network device.

[0137] For ease of description, a base station is used as a wireless access network device, and a terminal device is referred to as a terminal. It is understood that when the communication system includes an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) network, the base station may be an IAB node.

[0138] In this application, base stations and terminals can be fixed or mobile. They can be deployed on land, including indoors or outdoors, handheld or vehicle-mounted, on water, or in the air on aircraft, balloons, and satellites. The embodiments of this application do not limit the application scenarios of base stations and terminals.

[0139] The roles of base stations and terminals can be relative. For example, the helicopter or drone 120i in Figure 1 can be configured as a mobile base station. To terminals 120j accessing the wireless access network 100 via 120i, terminal 120i is a base station. However, to base station 110a, 120i is a terminal, meaning that communication between 110a and 120i occurs via a wireless air interface protocol. Of course, communication between 110a and 120i can also occur via a base station-to-base station interface protocol. In this case, 120i is also a base station relative to 110a. Therefore, base stations and terminals can be collectively referred to as communication devices. 110a and 110b in Figure 1 can be referred to as communication devices with base station functionality, while 120a-120j in Figure 1 can be referred to as communication devices with terminal functionality.

[0140] Communication between base stations and terminals, between base stations, and between terminals can be carried out through authorized spectrum, unauthorized spectrum, or both. Communication can be carried out through spectrum below 6 gigahertz (GHz), spectrum above 6 GHz, or spectrum below 6 GHz and spectrum above 6 GHz. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the spectrum resources used for wireless communication.

[0141] In the embodiments of the present application, the functions of the base station may also be performed by a module (such as a chip) in the base station, or by a control subsystem that includes the base station function. The control subsystem that includes the base station function here can be a control center in the application scenarios of the above-mentioned terminals such as smart grid, industrial control, intelligent transportation, and smart city. The functions of the terminal may also be performed by a module (such as a chip or a modem) in the terminal, or by a device that includes the terminal function.

[0142] In this application, a base station sends a downlink signal (or downlink information) to a terminal, and the downlink signal (or downlink information) is carried on a downlink channel. A terminal sends an uplink signal (or uplink information) to a base station, and the uplink signal (or uplink information) is carried on an uplink channel.

[0143] In recent years, with the continuous development and advancement of communications technology, research on 5.5G has become increasingly in-depth. The industry has proposed a 5.5G vision, which enhances and expands 5G scenarios. Building on the 5G landscape, 5.5G will expand into three new scenarios: uplink-centric broadband communication (UCBC), real-time broadband communication (RTBC), and harmonized communication and sensing (HCS).

[0144] HCS is primarily used in connected vehicles and drones, and can also support autonomous driving technology. By applying cellular networks' massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) beamscanning technology to the perception domain, HCS can provide both communication and perception in these scenarios. Extending this to indoor scenarios, it can also provide positioning services.

[0145] According to the number of nodes involved in perception, HCS can be divided into single-node perception and multi-node collaborative perception. Among them, single-node perception cannot measure tangential velocity or construct complete environmental information, while multi-node collaborative perception can well solve this problem.

[0146] During the communication sensing process, network devices process the received sensing signals and then report data based on the processing results. In existing technologies, the amount of data reported by network devices is too large, resulting in a large amount of bandwidth resources being occupied, which may ultimately affect the data reporting speed.

[0147] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a data reporting method, a data receiving method and related equipment, which can reduce the amount of data reported by network devices during communication perception.

[0148] The following is an example of the method flow of the embodiment of the present application.

[0149] Please refer to Figure 2, which is a schematic diagram of the data reporting method provided by the present application. It should be noted that Figure 2 uses the first device as an example of the execution subject to illustrate the method, but the present application does not limit the execution subject of the method. Specifically, the execution subject in Figure 2 and the corresponding embodiments S201-S204 is the first device, and the execution subject can also be a chip, chip system, or processor that supports the first device to implement the method, or a logic module or software that can implement all or part of the functions of the first device. Among them, the first device can be an access network element, such as a base station, or a user device, such as a mobile phone, and the present application does not impose any restrictions on this. Figure 2 uses the core network element as an example of the device for receiving the perception data and first information reported by the first device to illustrate the method, but the present application does not limit the execution subject of the method.

[0150] The method comprises the following steps:

[0151] S201. The first device determines the type of perception data to be reported, the perception data is obtained by performing a perception task;

[0152] It is understandable that since the first device may have the ability to process the perception signal in a variety of ways, thereby being able to obtain different types of perception data, it is necessary to first determine which type of perception data needs to be reported. However, the present application does not limit all first devices to the need to determine the type of perception data. For first devices that can only report one type of data, for example, some devices can only demodulate the perception signal to obtain a baseband signal, but cannot perform other data processing. For this type of first device, the first information corresponding to the type of perception data can be directly reported without first determining the type of perception data. Step S201 focuses on the fact that all first devices know the type of perception data they need to report. As for whether the first device already knows the type of perception data and does not need to determine it by itself, or whether the first device needs to determine the type of perception data to be reported by itself, this application does not impose any restrictions.

[0153] It should be noted that this application does not limit step S201 to being performed after the first device obtains the perception data; step S201 may also be performed before the first device obtains the perception data. When the type of the perception data is determined before the first device obtains the perception data, the first device, after determining the type of the perception data, processes the received perception signal so that the processed perception data is of that type.

[0154] It should be noted that the first device may include multiple devices. The first device may include both a device that sends perception signals and a device that receives perception signals. The first device may also be a device that only receives perception signals. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0155] Prior to step S201, the core network element receives a sensing task request message, which is used to request the execution of the sensing task in step S201. Since there may be multiple devices capable of sensing in a communication system, the core network element must first determine which devices can participate in the sensing task in step S201, that is, determine which devices can serve as the first device. Specifically, the process includes the following:

[0156] Optionally, the perception function network element in the core network element receives a perception task request message sent by an upper-layer network element, where the request message carries the requirements of the perception task.

[0157] Optionally, the upper-layer network element is an application layer function (AF) network element.

[0158] Optionally, the requirement of the perception task is a QoS requirement, which includes at least one of: perception resolution, perception accuracy, perception range, perception refresh rate, false detection rate, missed detection rate, and perception delay.

[0159] Optionally, the core network network element requests multiple devices to send perception capability information in one of the following ways: the core network network element sends a request message to multiple devices including the first device, and the message is used to request these devices to periodically report perception capability information. After that, the core network network element no longer needs to send request messages to these devices, and these devices will periodically report their perception capability information to the core network network element; each time the core network network element receives a perception task, it sends a request message to multiple devices including the first device, and the message is used to request these devices to send perception capability information.

[0160] In a possible implementation, the type of the perception data is carried in the first request message. Before determining the type of the perception data, the first device reports the perception capability information to the core network element.

[0161] Optionally, the perception capability information includes: perception resolution, perception accuracy or perception range.

[0162] Optionally, the core network element determines which devices can participate in the sensing task based on the sensing capability information and the sensing task requirements.

[0163] For example, the perception range of device 1 includes: the area where target 1 is located, the area where target 2 is located, the perception range of device 2 includes: the area where target 3 is located, the area where target 4 is located, and the perception task is to perceive target 2 and target 5. Therefore, the core network element can determine that device 1 can participate in the perception task, that is, device 1 can serve as the first device.

[0164] After determining which devices can participate in the perception task, the core network element can send a first request message to the devices that can participate in the perception task, that is, send a first request message to the first device, and the first request message is used to request the execution of the perception task. This application does not limit the first request message to be sent by the core network element. For example, when the first device is a user device, the core network element first sends the perception task request message to the base station, and then the base station sends the first request message to the first device.

[0165] After receiving the first request message, the first device may determine the type of the sensing data in the following manner:

[0166] In a possible implementation, the first device determines the type of the perception data according to a received first request message, where the first request message instructs to perform the perception task.

[0167] It is understood that a core network element or other device sends a first request message to the first device to instruct the first device to perform a sensing task. Accordingly, the first device receives the first request message and then determines the type of the sensing data based on the first request message. Specifically, the first device may determine the type of the sensing data based on information carried in the first request message.

[0168] The information carried in the first request message may be different. Specifically, the information carried in the first request message includes at least one of the following:

[0169] 1. The first request message carries the type of sensing data.

[0170] In this case, the first device can directly obtain the type of the perception data. Accordingly, the core network element needs to determine the type of the perception data before sending the first request message.

[0171] Optionally, the core network element determines the type of perception data according to the perception capability information of the first device and / or the requirements of the perception task.

[0172] It is understandable that the core network element can determine the type of perception data based on the perception capability information of the first device and the requirements of the perception task. For example, when the perception resolution of the first device cannot meet the requirements of the perception task, the type of perception data reported by the first device is: baseband signal, so that the core network network element further processes the baseband signal to obtain perception data that meets the requirements. For example, when the perception resolution that the first device can achieve is higher than the requirements of the perception data, the core network can determine the type of perception data reported by the first device according to the requirements of the perception task. For example, when the requirement of the perception task is to identify target A, the type of perception data uploaded by the first device is: perception data used to describe the characteristics of the target object; the core network network element can also determine the type of perception data only according to the requirements of the perception task. For example, if the core network network element determines that the type of perception data reported by the first device is: data used to describe signal characteristics according to the requirements of the perception task to extract signal characteristics; the core network network element can also determine the type of perception data only according to the perception capability information. For example, if the perception capability information indicates that the first device can only demodulate the perception signal to obtain a baseband signal, and cannot perform further processing, then the core network network element can determine that the type of perception data reported by the first device is: baseband signal.

[0173] 2. The first request message carries the requirements of the sensing task.

[0174] It should be noted that the requirements of the perception task are carried in the perception task request message received by the aforementioned core network element.

[0175] In this case, the first device cannot directly obtain the type of the perception data through the first request message, but needs to determine the type of the perception data by itself. Specifically, the first device can determine the type of the perception data through the following methods:

[0176] In a possible implementation manner, the first device determines the type of the perception data according to requirements of the perception task and / or perception capability information of the first device.

[0177] Similar to the above-mentioned core network determining the type of perception data, the first device can also determine the type of perception data based on its own perception capability information and the requirements of the perception task; the first device can also determine the type of perception data only based on the requirements of the perception task; the first device can also determine the type of perception data only based on the perception capability information, and the details will not be repeated here.

[0178] 3. The first request message carries the first constraint.

[0179] After the core network network element determines the type of perception data that the first device needs to report, when the type of perception data is: data used to describe the characteristics of the target object, if the perception data reported by the first device includes too many target objects, the amount of perception data will be too large; if the perception data includes too many invalid target objects, the core network network element will need to perform invalid analysis on the invalid target objects, wasting time and resources; if the perception data includes too few target objects, or too few valid target objects, the core network network element will not be able to analyze the target objects more comprehensively. Therefore, the core network network element needs to inform the first device of its requirements for the number of target objects included in the perception data.

[0180] In a possible implementation, before reporting the first information and the perception data, the first device receives a first constraint sent by a core network element, where the first constraint is used to constrain the number of the target objects included in the perception data.

[0181] It should be noted that the first request message may only carry the first constraint, and the first constraint may not be sent through other request messages. The sending of the first constraint does not depend on the determination of the type of the perception data. In other words, it is not necessary to determine the type of the perception data before sending the first constraint. Furthermore, the first device does not need to send the first constraint only when any of steps S201 to S204 need to be performed. When the core network element needs to constrain the number of target objects reported by the first device, it can send the first constraint to the first device.

[0182] Optionally, when the first device obtains the perception data through a target detection algorithm, the first constraint is a threshold of the target detection algorithm, or a threshold detection algorithm. After receiving the threshold, the first device can determine which objects are valid objects, i.e., target objects, based on the threshold, and report these target objects.

[0183] Optionally, the threshold may be a confidence threshold or an IoU threshold of an object detection algorithm.

[0184] Optionally, when the first device obtains the perception data by estimating a parameter of the perceived object, the first constraint is a mean square error of the estimated parameter, where the parameter includes: distance, speed, angle or position.

[0185] Optionally, the first request message may also carry: an identifier of the perception task or an identifier of a corresponding perception session.

[0186] Optionally, the first request message may also be used to instruct the first device to establish a perception resource configuration related to the perception task. The core network element may also instruct the first device to establish a perception resource configuration related to the perception task by sending other request messages. Accordingly, the first device configures the perception resources and, after the perception resource configuration is established, sends an indication message to the core network element to indicate that the perception resource configuration has been completed.

[0187] After the sensing resource configuration is complete, the first device generates a sensing signal and transmits it to the sensing range specified by the sensing task. After reflecting off targets within the environment, the sensing signal is received by other first devices. The received signal after the reflection of the sensing signal is also called an echo signal, and is referred to as the sensing signal below. Taking Figure 3 as an example, the first device in Figure 3 is a general term for devices that send and receive sensing signals. One of the first devices transmits a sensing signal, which is then reflected off targets 1 and 2 and received by other first devices.

[0188] Optionally, when the type of perception data reported by the first device is a baseband signal, the first device needs to report configuration information of the perception resource, and the configuration information of the perception resource can be carried in the above-mentioned indication message. If the configuration information of the perception resource is not carried in the above-mentioned indication message, the core network element sends a request message to the first device, requesting the first device to send the configuration information of the perception resource.

[0189] It should be noted that the configuration information of the sensing resource can be included in the first information of the subsequent step S204 and sent together with other first information, or it can be sent separately and carried in the above-mentioned indication message or other messages.

[0190] Optionally, the configuration information of the perception resource includes: time-frequency domain resource configuration of the perception signal or a sequence format used by the perception signal.

[0191] Optionally, the device that reports the configuration information of the perception resource can be the first device that sends the perception signal or the device that receives the perception signal. When it is the first device that sends the perception signal, the configuration information can be carried in the above-mentioned indication message; when it is the first device that receives the perception signal, the device that sends the perception signal sends the configuration information of the perception resource to the device that receives the perception signal, so that the device that receives the perception signal can demodulate the perception signal according to the configuration information and report the configuration information of the perception resource to the core network network element.

[0192] Optionally, when the first device is a base station, the core network network element receives the first request message, and the request message is used to instruct the first device to establish a perception resource configuration related to the perception task. The base station receives the first request message, configures the perception resources, generates and sends a perception signal; when the first device is a user device, since the user device cannot directly configure the perception resources, the core network network element needs to first send a first request message to the base stations around the user device. After receiving the first request message, the base station configures the perception resources and sends an indication of the perception resources that can be used to the user device. After receiving the indication information, the user device selects the perception resources therefrom, generates and sends a perception signal.

[0193] S202. When the type of the perception data is the first type, the first device determines the parameters included in the first information;

[0194] It should be noted that the first information is auxiliary information used when processing the perception data.

[0195] According to the conclusions reached by the current 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) system and service and system aspects (SA), perception data can be reported directly or reported after data processing, and the degree of processing of the baseband signal by the first device can also be different. Before the perception data is fused, since perception data with different data processing degrees cannot be directly fused, the core network network element needs to process the perception data so that each perception data is at the same processing degree. Therefore, for data with different processing degrees, the core network needs to perform different data processing, and the parameters included in the first information for auxiliary data processing that the first device needs to report are also different. Therefore, the present application divides the perception data into different types according to the different processing degrees of the perception signal, and then the first device reports the corresponding first information based on the type of the perception data. Specifically, it includes the following three types:

[0196] 1. Baseband signal: After receiving the sensing signal, the first device performs relevant signal demodulation operations to obtain the baseband signal. The baseband signal includes real and imaginary parts, also known as IQ path data.

[0197] 2. Data used to describe signal characteristics: This data is obtained by performing relevant signal processing on the baseband signal, such as channel estimation or Fourier transform, to obtain the corresponding perception data.

[0198] 3. Data used to describe the characteristics of the target object: This data is processed by an algorithm based on the data used to describe the signal characteristics to obtain perception data, thereby realizing the perception of the target object.

[0199] These three types have a progressive relationship in terms of the degree of data processing. As shown in Figure 4, the data used to describe signal characteristics are obtained by processing the baseband signal, and the data used to describe the characteristics of the target object are obtained by processing the data used to describe signal characteristics using an algorithm.

[0200] As mentioned above, the parameters included in the corresponding first information are different depending on the degree of processing of the perception data, which is determined by the characteristics of the data. As shown in Table 1, the parameters required to be included in the first information reported by the first device are also different for perception data of different processing degrees. The following is a detailed explanation:

[0201] Table 1

[0202] In Table 1, if a check mark is placed in a cell, it indicates that the first information corresponding to the type of the perception data may include the parameter.

[0203] When the type of perception data, i.e., the first type, is a baseband signal, since the first device directly sends the baseband signal to the core network element, the core network element cannot demodulate the baseband signal. Therefore, the first device needs to send information to the core network element to assist in baseband signal demodulation. To this end, the first device can send the configuration information of the perception resource, and then the core network element can determine the time-frequency domain resource configuration of the baseband signal and the sequence format used by the baseband signal based on the perception resource configuration information, thereby assisting in the demodulation of the baseband signal. In the scenario of multi-node collaborative perception, the baseband signal reported by the first device needs to be fused with other perception data. Therefore, the core network element needs to perform signal processing on the baseband signal so that the core network element can fuse the baseband signal with other types of perception data. To this end, the first device may also report timeslot information or frame information, so that the core network element can determine the time domain position of the baseband signal reported by the first device in all received signals, so that the core network element can perform signal processing. To this end, the first device may report the beam direction, which is used to inform the core network element of the beam direction used by the first device, so that the core network element uses the correct beam configuration to process the baseband signal. To better integrate the baseband signal with other perception data, the first device needs to report timestamp information, which is used to inform the core network element of the time period for the first device to perform perception, facilitating the core network element to integrate perception data.

[0204] In a possible implementation, when the first type is a baseband signal, the first device determines that the first information includes: configuration information of the perception resource, time slot information, frame information, timestamp information, and at least one parameter of the beam direction.

[0205] Optionally, when the first type is a baseband signal, the first information consists of at least one parameter of the configuration information of the perception resource, time slot information, frame information, timestamp information, and beam direction.

[0206] Optionally, when the first type is a baseband signal, the first information does not include: indication information of the target object.

[0207] When the type of sensing data, i.e., the first type, is data used to describe signal characteristics, since the first device has already demodulated the baseband signal into data used to describe signal characteristics, the first device does not need to send information to the core network element to assist in baseband signal demodulation. This data used to describe signal characteristics is the result of signal processing performed by the first device. To facilitate integration of this data with other sensing data, the core network element may need to perform further signal processing on this data. To this end, the first device needs to report timeslot information or frame information, so that the core network element can determine the time domain location of the baseband signal reported by the first device within the total received signal, allowing the core network element to perform further signal processing. The first device also needs to report the beam direction, which informs the core network element of information such as the beam direction used by the first device, so that the core network element uses the correct beam configuration for signal processing of the data. To facilitate integration of this data with other sensing data, the first device needs to report timestamp information. This timestamp information informs the core network element of the time period during which the first device performed sensing, facilitating integration of the sensing data.

[0208] In a possible implementation, when the first type is data for describing signal characteristics, the first device determines that the first information includes: at least one parameter of the time slot information, the frame information, the timestamp information, and the beam direction.

[0209] Optionally, when the first type is data used to describe signal characteristics, the first information consists of at least one parameter of time slot information, frame information, timestamp information, and beam direction.

[0210] Optionally, when the first type is data used to describe signal characteristics, the first information does not include: configuration information of the perception resource and indication information of the target object.

[0211] After receiving the sensing signal, the first device first demodulates the sensing signal to obtain a baseband signal, and then processes the baseband signal to obtain data used to describe signal characteristics. The first device may process the baseband signal in the following manner:

[0212] Optionally, the first device performs channel estimation on the baseband signal to obtain CSI information, and reports the CSI information as perception data to the core network element.

[0213] Optionally, the first device performs Fourier transform on the CSI information to obtain a delay spectrum, a distance spectrum, a speed spectrum, or an angle spectrum of the perception signal, and reports the data as perception data to a core network element.

[0214] Delay spectrum, distance spectrum, speed spectrum, etc. can be used by the core network to determine the two-dimensional representation of the perception signal, facilitating further target detection by the core network elements.

[0215] Optionally, the first device calculates the reference signal reception power, reference signal reception quality, signal-to-noise ratio, etc. of the baseband signal, and reports these data as perception data to the core network network element.

[0216] When the type of perception data, i.e., the first type, is data used to describe the characteristics of the target object, since the first device processes the signal at this time, the perception data sent by the first device is the result of perceiving the target. Therefore, the first device does not need to send information to the core network element to assist in signal processing. Since the core network needs to fuse the perception data with other perception data in the case of multi-node collaborative perception, in order to achieve better fusion effect of the baseband signal and other perception data, the first device needs to report indication information of the target object. Through the indication information of the target object, the core network element can determine whether the object perceived by the perception data is the same object as the object perceived by other perception data; the first device needs to report timestamp information. The timestamp information is used to inform the core network element of the time period for the first device to perceive, so as to facilitate the core network element to fuse the perception data.

[0217] In one possible implementation, when the first type is data used to describe characteristics of a target object, the first device determines that the first information includes: indication information of the target object and at least one parameter in the timestamp information, wherein the target object is the object perceived by the perception task.

[0218] Optionally, when the first type is data used to describe characteristics of a target object, the first information is composed of at least one parameter of indication information and timestamp information of the target object.

[0219] Optionally, when the first type is data used to describe characteristics of a target object, the first information does not include: configuration information of the perception resource, time slot information, frame information, and beam direction.

[0220] Optionally, the indication information of the target object is an identifier of the target object.

[0221] When the first device is a user device, since the user device will continue to move, and the determination of parameters such as the position of the target object is closely related to the position of the user device performing perception, the user device needs to report the absolute coordinate system of the area it can perceive or the position of the user device so that the core network element can perform multi-node data fusion.

[0222] Optionally, when the first device is a user equipment, the first information reported by the user equipment to the core network element further includes: location information of the user equipment or an absolute coordinate system of a perception area of ​​the user equipment.

[0223] Optionally, when the type of the perception data is the first type, in addition to determining the parameters included in the first information through the first device, the parameters included in the first information may also be determined through a core network element.

[0224] Specifically, the core network element may determine the parameters included in the first information in one of the following ways, and notify the first device of the parameters that need to be included in the first information:

[0225] 1. The core network network element determines the type of perception data that needs to be reported by the first device based on the requirements of the perception task and / or the perception capability information. When the type of the perception data is the first type, the core network network element determines the auxiliary information required to process the perception data of this type, thereby determining the parameters included in the first information, and sending an indication message to the first device, which is used to indicate the parameters that need to be included in the first information.

[0226] 2. The core network element receives the perception data reported by the first device, determines some auxiliary information required to process the perception data, thereby determining the parameters included in the first information, and sends an indication message to the first device, which is used to indicate the parameters that the first information needs to include.

[0227] Optionally, the above-mentioned indication message is a first request message, that is, the first request message can also be used to indicate parameters that the first information needs to include, so as to instruct the first device to report the first information including the parameters.

[0228] Accordingly, after the first device receives the first request message or indication message, it can directly obtain the parameters required to be included in the first information based on the first request message or indication message, without the need for the first device to determine that the type of the perception data is the first type before determining the parameters included in the first information.

[0229] S203. Based on the parameters included in the first information, the first device determines the first information;

[0230] It is understandable that step S202 only obtains the parameters included in the first information, and the specific values ​​of each parameter need to be further determined. As previously described, the first information may include: configuration information of the sensing resource, and at least one parameter selected from time slot information, frame information, timestamp information, beam direction, and target object indication information.

[0231] Specifically, when the first information is the configuration information, time slot information, frame information, and beam direction of the perception resource, the first device that sends the perception signal will send this information together with the perception signal, so that the first device that receives the perception signal can determine the value of this information; when the first information is timestamp information, the first device determines the value of the timestamp information based on the time period during which it performs perception; when the first information is the indication information of the target, after the first device obtains the perception data through algorithm processing, it can obtain the perception result of the target object, and can also determine the value of the indication information of the target.

[0232] S204. The first device reports the first information and perception data to the core network element.

[0233] This application does not limit the perception data and the first information to be sent together, nor does it limit the parameters included in the first information to be sent together. Step S204 limits the first device from the perspective of the result to reporting the first information and the perception data to the core network element.

[0234] Correspondingly, the core network element receives the first information and the perception data, and processes the perception data according to the first information. Specifically, the perception data may be processed in the following manner:

[0235] Optionally, if the first type is configuration information of the perception resource, time slot information of the perception signal, frame information of the perception signal or beam direction, the core network network element demodulates the perception data according to the first information; or if the first type is timestamp information, the core network network element determines the moment when the first device performs perception based on the first information, and merges the perception data with other perception data based on the first information; or if the first type is indication information of the target object, the core network network element determines whether the perception data and the object described by the other perception data are the same object based on the indication information of the target object; if they are the same object, the core network network element merges the perception data with the other perception data.

[0236] After the first device reports the perception data, if the number of targets included in the perception data is too small, it indicates that the previously set first constraint is too strict and needs to be adjusted. If the number of targets included in the perception data is too large, it indicates that the previously set first constraint is too loose and needs to be adjusted. Therefore, the core network element needs to adjust the first constraint based on the perception data reported by the first device.

[0237] In a possible implementation manner, the core network element adjusts the first constraint according to the number of the target objects included in the perception data to obtain a second constraint; and the core network element sends the second constraint.

[0238] Based on the technical solution of Figure 2, when the type of perception data reported by the first device is the first type, the core network element determines parameters included in first information, which is auxiliary information used in processing the perception data. In other words, based on the technical solution of Figure 2, the core network does not require network devices to report auxiliary information required for every type of perception data, but only requires network devices to report auxiliary information required for the first type of perception data. Therefore, the technical solution of Figure 2 can reduce the amount of information reported by network devices to assist in perception data processing, thereby reducing the amount of data reported by network devices.

[0239] The method shown in FIG. 2 is described below with reference to four examples.

[0240] The following four examples are all possible implementations of the method shown in Figure 2. Examples 1a and 1b illustrate that the first type in step S202 is a baseband signal. Example 1a illustrates that the first device is a base station. Example 1b illustrates that the first device is a user equipment. Example 2 illustrates that the first type in step S202 is data used to describe signal characteristics. Example 2 illustrates that the first type in step S202 is data used to describe characteristics of a target object. Example 3 illustrates that the perception data is obtained using a target detection algorithm.

[0241] The first device may be a base station or user equipment. In embodiments 1a and 1b, the base station or user equipment generates and transmits a perception signal, which is received by the base station or user equipment. The base station or user equipment, upon receiving the perception signal, demodulates the perception signal to obtain a baseband signal and reports the baseband signal to the core network. The core network may utilize the perception signal configuration information sent in advance by the base station or user equipment to perform relevant operations on the baseband signal and then proceed to further signal processing operations. The core concept of embodiments 1a and 1b is that, after configuring the perception signal, the base station or user equipment needs to send the relevant configuration information of the perception signal to the core network.

[0242] In the current 3GPP SA1 discussion, it has been determined that the perception modes can be divided into the following six modes:

[0243] 1. Base station self-transmission and self-reception: The sensing signal is sent by the base station, reflected by the target in the environment, and then received by the base station.

[0244] 2. Base station A transmits and base station B receives: The sensing signal is sent by base station A, reflected by the target in the environment, and received by base station B.

[0245] 3. Base station transmits and user equipment receives: The sensing signal is sent by the base station, reflected by the target in the environment, and then received by the user equipment.

[0246] 4. User equipment sends and base station receives: The perception signal is sent by the user equipment, reflected by the target in the environment, and then received by the base station.

[0247] 5. User device self-transmission and self-reception: The perception signal is sent by the user device, reflected by the target in the environment, and then received by the user device.

[0248] 6. User device A transmits, user device B receives: The sensing signal is sent by user device A, reflected by an object in the environment, and then received by user device B.

[0249] In the first to fourth sensing modes, the base station generates the sensing resource configuration and the sensing signal, so the base station only needs to send the generated sensing resource configuration and the sensing signal to the core network. Example 1a is the case where the technical solution of the present application is applied to these four sensing modes.

[0250] In the fifth and sixth sensing modes, although the base station can configure sensing resources, it is ultimately the user equipment that selects the sensing resources and generates the corresponding sensing signal configuration. Therefore, in these two modes, the user equipment needs to send the configuration information of the sensing resources it uses to the core network element.

[0251] Example 1a

[0252] This embodiment is an example of the first type of baseband signal in step S202. This embodiment mainly focuses on four sensing modes: base station self-transmitting and self-receiving, base station A transmitting and B receiving, base station transmitting and user equipment receiving, and user equipment transmitting and base station receiving.

[0253] For ease of description, the following takes the example that the device sending the perception signal is a base station.

[0254] FIG5 is a schematic diagram of Example 1a. The specific process in FIG5 includes:

[0255] 501. A core network element receives a message requesting to perform a sensing task.

[0256] This message carries the QoS requirements of the sensing task and is sent by the AF network element to the sensing function network element in the core network element.

[0257] The QoS requirements of the perception task include: at least one of the following: perception resolution, perception accuracy, perception range, perception refresh rate, false detection rate, missed detection rate, and perception delay.

[0258] There are two ways for the core network element to request the base station to send perception capability information: the first is that the core network element sends a request message to the base station, which is used to request these devices to periodically report perception capability information. After that, the core network element no longer needs to send request messages to these devices, and the base station will periodically report its perception capability information to the core network element; the second is that the core network element sends a request message to the base station every time it receives a perception task, which is used to request the base station to send perception capability information.

[0259] If it is the first case, step 502 does not need to be executed after step 501, and step 504 is directly executed because the base station automatically reports the sensing capability information to the core network element every other period. If it is the second case, step 502 needs to be executed after step 501.

[0260] 502. The core network element sends a message to the base station requesting reporting of sensing capability information;

[0261] 503. The base station reports sensing capability information;

[0262] Perception capability information includes: perception resolution, perception accuracy or perception range.

[0263] 504. The core network element determines the base station that can participate in the sensing task based on the sensing capability information and the QoS requirement of the sensing task;

[0264] 505. The core network element sends a first request message to a base station that can participate in the sensing task;

[0265] The first request message is used to instruct the base station to perform a sensing task and configure sensing resources.

[0266] The information carried in the first request message includes: the QoS requirement of the sensing task or the type of sensing data, and the identifier of the sensing task or the identifier of the corresponding sensing session.

[0267] When the first request message carries the type of perception data, the core network element needs to determine the type of perception data before step 505. Specifically, the core network element can determine the type of perception data based on the QoS requirements and / or perception capability information of the perception task.

[0268] 506. The base station configures sensing resources, generates and sends a sensing signal;

[0269] 507. The base station sends an instruction message to the core network element;

[0270] This indication message is used to indicate that the sensing resource has been configured;

[0271] If the indication message does not carry the configuration information of the perception resources, the core network network element also needs to send a second request message to the user equipment. The second request message is used to request the reporting of the configuration information of the perception resources. Accordingly, the user equipment sends the configuration information of the perception resources to the core network network element; if the indication message carries the configuration information of the perception resources, the core network network element does not need to send the second request message to the user equipment.

[0272] The configuration information of the perception resources includes the time-frequency domain resource configuration of the perception signal, the sequence format used by the perception signal, etc.

[0273] 508. The base station determines the type of the sensing data.

[0274] If the first request message in step 505 does not carry the type of the sensing data, the base station may determine the type of the sensing data based on the QoS requirements of the sensing task and / or sensing capability information. Embodiment 1a takes the first type being a baseband signal as an example. That is, after step 508, the base station determines that the type of the sensing data is a baseband signal. Accordingly, the first information includes parameters such as at least one of the following: sensing resource configuration information, time slot information, frame information, timestamp information, and beam direction.

[0275] 509. The base station receives the sensing signal and processes the sensing signal to obtain sensing data.

[0276] Specifically, the base station demodulates the sensing signal to obtain a baseband signal.

[0277] 510. The base station sends the first information and the perception data to the core network element;

[0278] As mentioned above, the parameters included in the first information are: at least one parameter of the configuration information of the perception resource, time slot information, frame information, timestamp information, and beam direction.

[0279] Perception resource configuration includes the time-frequency domain resource configuration of the perception signal, the sequence format used by the perception signal, etc.

[0280] 511. The core network element processes the perception data through the first information.

[0281] The core network element demodulates the perception data according to the configuration information of the perception resource, the time slot information of the perception signal, the frame information or the beam direction of the perception signal; and the core network element fuses the perception data with other perception data according to the timestamp information.

[0282] Example 1b

[0283] This embodiment is an example of the first type of baseband signal in step S202. This embodiment mainly focuses on two sensing modes: user equipment transmitting and receiving independently, and user equipment A transmitting and user equipment B receiving.

[0284] For ease of description, the user equipment below may be used to refer to a user equipment that sends a perception signal, and may also be used to refer to a user equipment that receives a perception signal.

[0285] FIG6 is a schematic diagram of Example 1b. The specific process in FIG6 includes:

[0286] 601. A core network element receives a message requesting to perform a sensing task.

[0287] 602. The core network element sends a message to the user equipment requesting reporting of sensing capability information.

[0288] 603. The user device reports sensing capability information;

[0289] 604. The core network element determines a base station that can participate in the sensing task based on the sensing capability information and the QoS requirement of the sensing task.

[0290] The above steps 601-604 are similar to steps 501-504 in embodiment 1a and are not described again here.

[0291] 605. The core network element sends a first request message to the base station;

[0292] Since the user equipment cannot configure perception resources, the core network element needs to send a first request message to the base station near the user equipment. The information carried in the request message includes: the QoS requirements of the perception task or the type of perception data, and the identifier of the perception task or the identifier of the corresponding perception session.

[0293] 606. The base station configures sensing resources.

[0294] After receiving the first request message, the base station may forward the first request message to the user equipment and configure the sensing resources according to the first request message.

[0295] 607. The base station sends indication information of available sensing resources to the user equipment.

[0296] 608. The user equipment selects a sensing resource, generates and sends a sensing signal using the sensing resource;

[0297] Specifically, there are two ways for a user equipment to receive information indicating sensing resources. First, the user equipment can read broadcast information sent by the base station, which includes the sensing resource pool related to the sensing task. Second, the user equipment can receive dedicated signaling from the base station, such as an RRC message, which includes the sensing resource pool related to the sensing task. The sensing resource pool is a set of sensing resources related to the sensing task. The user equipment can select the required sensing resources from the sensing resource pool and then use them to generate the corresponding sensing signal.

[0298] 609. The user equipment sends an instruction message to the core network element;

[0299] 610. The base station determines the type of the sensing data.

[0300] 611. The user equipment receives the perception signal and processes the perception signal to obtain perception data.

[0301] 612. The user equipment sends the first information and the perception data to the core network element.

[0302] 613. The core network element processes the perception data through the first information.

[0303] The above steps 609-613 are similar to steps 507-511 in Example 1a and are not repeated here.

[0304] The beneficial effects of Example 1a and Example 1b are: the base station or user equipment can report the baseband signal to the core network. Since the baseband signal contains complete channel information, a large performance gain can be obtained in the information fusion process of multi-node collaborative perception.

[0305] Example 2

[0306] This embodiment is an example of the first type of data in step S202, which is the user description signal characteristics. This embodiment can mainly target six perception modes: base station self-transmitting and self-receiving, base station A transmitting and B receiving, base station transmitting and user equipment receiving, user equipment transmitting and base station receiving, user equipment self-transmitting and self-receiving, and user equipment A transmitting and user equipment B receiving.

[0307] For ease of description, the following example takes the case where both the device receiving the perception signal and the device sending the perception signal are base stations.

[0308] FIG7 is a schematic diagram of Example 2, and the specific process in FIG7 includes:

[0309] 701. A core network element receives a message requesting to perform a sensing task.

[0310] 702. The core network element sends a message to the base station requesting reporting of sensing capability information.

[0311] 703. The base station reports sensing capability information;

[0312] 704. The core network element determines, based on the sensing capability information, a base station that can participate in the sensing task and the type of sensing data that the base station needs to report.

[0313] The above steps 701-704 are similar to steps 501-504 in Example 1a and are not repeated here.

[0314] After step 704, if the four modes are base station self-transmitting and self-receiving, base station A transmitting and B receiving, base station transmitting and user equipment receiving, or user equipment transmitting and base station receiving, then execute steps 705 and 706. If the two modes are user equipment self-transmitting and self-receiving, or user equipment A transmitting and user equipment B, then after step 704, refer to steps 605 to 608 of Example 1b.

[0315] 705. The core network element sends a first request message to a base station that can participate in the sensing task;

[0316] 706. The base station configures sensing resources and generates and sends a sensing signal.

[0317] The above steps 705 and 706 are similar to steps 505-506 in embodiment 1a and are not described again here.

[0318] 707. The base station sends an instruction message to the core network element;

[0319] Since the first type is data used to describe signal characteristics, when the base station sends an indication message to the core network element to indicate that the configuration of the sensing resource is completed, the indication message does not need to carry the configuration information of the sensing resource.

[0320] 708. The base station determines the type of the sensing data.

[0321] If the first request message in step 705 does not carry the type of the sensing data, the base station may determine the type of the sensing data based on the QoS requirements and / or sensing capability information of the sensing task. Example 2 takes the case where the first type is data used to describe signal characteristics as an example. That is, after step 708, the base station determines that the type of the sensing data is data used to describe signal characteristics. Correspondingly, the first information includes parameters such as at least one of time slot information, frame information, timestamp information, and beam direction.

[0322] 709. The base station receives the sensing signal and processes the sensing signal to obtain sensing data.

[0323] Specifically, the signal processing includes:

[0324] The base station performs channel estimation on the baseband signal to obtain CSI information;

[0325] The base station performs Fourier transform on the CSI information to obtain the delay spectrum, distance spectrum, velocity spectrum or angle spectrum of the perception signal;

[0326] The base station calculates the reference signal received power, reference signal received quality, signal-to-noise ratio, etc. of the baseband signal.

[0327] 710. The base station sends the first information and the perception data to the core network element.

[0328] Perception data includes: CSI information, delay spectrum, distance spectrum, speed spectrum, angle spectrum, reference signal received power, reference signal received quality or signal-to-noise ratio.

[0329] As mentioned above, the parameters included in the first information are: at least one parameter of time slot information, frame information, timestamp information, and beam direction.

[0330] 711. The core network element processes the perception data through the first information.

[0331] The core network element performs signal processing on the perception data according to the time slot information, frame information or beam direction of the perception signal; the core network element integrates the perception data with other perception data according to the timestamp information.

[0332] The beneficial effect of this embodiment is that the base station or user equipment can report data used to describe signal characteristics to the core network. The data contains more channel information. Compared with reporting baseband signals, the amount of reported data is greatly reduced, which is suitable for perception reporting by user equipment.

[0333] Example 3

[0334] This embodiment is an example of the first type of data in step S202, which is the user describing the characteristics of the target object. This embodiment can mainly target six perception modes: base station self-transmitting and self-receiving, base station A transmitting and B receiving, base station transmitting and user equipment receiving, user equipment transmitting and base station receiving, user equipment self-transmitting and self-receiving, and user equipment A transmitting and user equipment B receiving.

[0335] For ease of description, the following example takes the case where both the device receiving the perception signal and the device sending the perception signal are base stations.

[0336] FIG8 is a schematic diagram of Example 3. The specific process in FIG8 includes:

[0337] 801. A core network element receives a message requesting to perform a sensing task.

[0338] 802. The core network element sends a message to the base station requesting reporting of sensing capability information.

[0339] 803. The base station reports sensing capability information;

[0340] 804. The core network element determines, based on the sensing capability information, a base station that can participate in the sensing task and the type of sensing data that the base station needs to report.

[0341] The above steps 801-804 are similar to steps 501-504 in embodiment 1a and are not described again here.

[0342] After step 804, if the four modes are base station self-transmitting and self-receiving, base station A transmitting and B receiving, base station transmitting and user equipment receiving, or user equipment transmitting and base station receiving, then execute steps 805 and 806. If the two modes are user equipment self-transmitting and self-receiving, and user equipment A transmitting and user equipment B, then after step 804, refer to steps 605 to 608 of Example 1b.

[0343] 805. The core network element sends a first request message to a base station that can participate in the sensing task;

[0344] The first request message is used to instruct the base station to perform a sensing task and configure sensing resources.

[0345] The information carried in the first request message includes: the QoS requirement of the sensing task or the type of sensing data, and the identifier of the sensing task or the identifier of the corresponding sensing session.

[0346] When the first request message carries the type of perception data, the core network element needs to determine the type of perception data before step 805. Specifically, the core network element can determine the type of perception data based on the QoS requirements and / or perception capability information of the perception task.

[0347] The first request message carries the first constraint.

[0348] When the base station obtains the perception data by estimating a parameter of the target object, the first constraint is a mean square error of the estimated amount of the parameter, where the parameter includes: distance, speed, angle or position.

[0349] When the base station obtains the sensing data through a target detection algorithm, the first constraint is a threshold value of the target detection algorithm, or a threshold detection algorithm. After receiving the threshold value, the first device can determine which objects are valid objects, i.e., target objects, based on the threshold value, and report these target objects.

[0350] This threshold can be the confidence threshold or IoU threshold of the target detection algorithm.

[0351] The first request message may also carry: an identifier of the perception task or an identifier of a corresponding perception session.

[0352] 806. The base station configures sensing resources, generates and sends a sensing signal.

[0353] See step 506 in Example 1a.

[0354] 807. The base station sends an instruction message to the core network element;

[0355] Since the first type is data used to describe signal characteristics, when the base station sends an indication message to the core network element to indicate that the configuration of the sensing resource is completed, the indication message does not need to carry the configuration information of the sensing resource.

[0356] 808. The base station determines the type of the sensing data.

[0357] If the first request message in step 805 does not carry the type of the sensing data, the base station may determine the type of the sensing data based on the QoS requirements and / or sensing capability information of the sensing task. Example 3 takes the case where the first type is data used to describe the characteristics of the target object as an example. That is, after step 808, the base station determines that the type of the sensing data is data used to describe the characteristics of the target object. Correspondingly, the first information includes parameters such as at least one of the following: indication information of the target object and timestamp information.

[0358] 809. The base station receives the perception signal and processes the perception signal according to the first constraint to obtain perception data.

[0359] The processing includes: the base station estimates the parameters of the target object; the base station obtains perception data through the target detection algorithm.

[0360] 810. The base station sends the first information and the perception data to the core network element.

[0361] The perception data includes: the number of target objects, the state of the target objects, the distance of the target objects, the speed of the target objects, the angle of the target objects or the position of the target objects.

[0362] As mentioned above, the parameters included in the first information are: at least one parameter of the target object indication information and timestamp information.

[0363] 811. The core network element processes the perception data using the first information.

[0364] The core network element fuses the sensed data with other sensed data based on the timestamp information. The core network can determine that the sensed targets are the same based on the target object's indication information, facilitating data fusion.

[0365] 812. The core network element updates the first constraint according to the sensing data reported by the base station;

[0366] The core network element updates the first constraint based on the number of target objects included in the perception data. For example, if the core network element finds that there are too few or no target objects in the reported perception data, this may be because the first constraint is set too strictly. In this case, the first constraint is lowered. If the perception result contains too many target objects, the first constraint may be raised.

[0367] 813. The core network element sends the updated first constraint to the base station.

[0368] This embodiment has the beneficial effect of enabling a base station or user equipment to report sensing result data to the core network. Compared to baseband signals, although the included channel information is significantly reduced, the data volume is significantly reduced, thereby alleviating the reporting pressure on the base station or user equipment. Simultaneously, reporting target object indication information and other information reduces the computational complexity of data fusion in the core network.
