Description

Proxy-aware SBP parameter update method, access point device, and site device Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a proxy-aware SBP parameter updating method, an access point device, and a site device. Background Art

[0002] Among the Wi-Fi technologies currently under research, wireless local area network (WLAN) sensing technology may be supported. For example, this technology is used in applications such as location discovery, proximity detection, and presence detection in dense environments (such as homes and businesses). During WLAN sensing, the identities of a station (STA) and an access point (AP) are often interchangeable. For example, both can act as a sensing initiator or a sensing transmitter. When acting as a sensing initiator or a sensing transmitter, an AP can communicate with multiple STAs simultaneously. However, a STA lacks this functionality and can only communicate one-to-one with a single responder. This wastes spectrum resources and increases latency, potentially failing to meet latency requirements in communication scenarios with high latency requirements.

[0003] To solve this problem, a method of using an AP to proxy STAs to perform WLAN sensing measurements, namely Sensing By Proxy (SBP) measurement, is proposed. During the SBP process, AP parameters may change; therefore, a method for updating SBP parameters is needed.

[0119] FIG1 is a schematic diagram showing the architecture of a communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0120] As shown in FIG1 , a communication system 100 includes a station device (STA) 101 and an access point device (AP) 102 .

[0121] In some embodiments, the site device 101 includes, for example, a wireless communication chip, a wireless sensor, or a wireless communication terminal that supports WiFi communication. Optionally, the wireless communication terminal includes, but is not limited to, at least one of a mobile phone, a wearable device, an Internet of Things device that supports WiFi communication, a car with WiFi communication, a smart car, a tablet computer, a computer with wireless transceiver capabilities, a virtual reality (VR) terminal device, an augmented reality (AR) terminal device, a wireless terminal device used in industrial control, a wireless terminal device used in self-driving, a wireless terminal device used in remote medical surgery, a wireless terminal device used in a smart grid, a wireless terminal device used in transportation safety, a wireless terminal device used in a smart city, and a wireless terminal device used in a smart home.

[0122] Specifically, the station device 101 may be a terminal device or network device equipped with a wireless fidelity (WiFi) chip. Optionally, the station device 101 may support multiple WLAN standards, such as 802.11ax, 802.11be, 802.11ac, 802.11n, 802.11g, 802.11b, 802.11a, 802.11bf, and 802.11bn, as well as the next generation 802.11 protocol, but is not limited thereto.

[0123] In some embodiments, the access point device 102 can be an access point for a mobile terminal to enter a wired network. The AP is equivalent to a bridge connecting a wired network and a wireless network. Its main function is to connect various wireless network clients together and then connect the wireless network to the Ethernet. Specifically, the AP can be a terminal device or a network device with a wireless fidelity chip. Optionally, the AP can support multiple WLAN standards such as 802.11ax, 802.11be, 802.11ac, 802.11n, 802.11g, 802.11b and 802.11a, 802.11bf, 802.11bn, and support the next generation 802.11 protocol, but is not limited to this.

[0124] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the AP and STA may be devices supporting multiple connections, for example, they may be represented as a multi-connection access point device (AP MLD) and a multi-connection site device (Non-Access Point Multi-Link Device, Non-AP MLD), respectively; the AP MLD may represent an access point supporting multi-connection communication functions, and the non-AP MLD may represent a site supporting multi-connection communication functions.

[0125] It can be understood that the communication system described in the embodiment of the present disclosure is for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solution proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure. Ordinary technicians in this field can know that with the evolution of the system architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solution proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure is also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0126] The following embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to the communication system 100 shown in FIG1 , or a portion thereof, but are not limited thereto. The entities shown in FIG1 are illustrative only. The communication system may include all or part of the entities shown in FIG1 , or may include other entities outside of FIG1 . The number and form of the entities are arbitrary, and the entities may be physical or virtual. The connection relationships between the entities are illustrative only. The entities may be connected or disconnected, and the connection may be in any manner, including direct or indirect, wired or wireless.

[0127] The various embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to wireless local area networks (WLANs), such as those using the 802.11 series of protocols. In a WLAN, a Basic Service Set (BSS) is a fundamental component of a WLAN. A BSS network consists of station devices with some association within a specific coverage area. One scenario of association is that stations communicate directly with each other in an ad hoc network, which is called an Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS). Another more common scenario is that in a BSS network, there is only one central station dedicated to managing the BSS, called an access point, and all other STAs in the network are associated with it. Other stations in the BSS network that are not the central station are called terminals, also called non-AP STAs. Terminals and non-AP STAs are collectively referred to as STAs. When describing STAs, there is no need to distinguish between APs and non-AP STAs. In the same BSS network, due to distance, transmission power, and other factors, a STA cannot detect other STAs that are farther away from it, and the two STAs are each other's hidden nodes.

[0128] FIG2 is one of the interactive diagrams of the proxy-aware SBP parameter update method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2 , the method includes:

[0129] In step 201, the access point device 102 determines a first wireless frame during the process of establishing an SBP with a non-associated site device U-STA (site device 101 in Figure 2), or during the triggered frame (Triggered Based Sounding, TB) perception measurement of the SBP; wherein the U-STA participates in the TB perception measurement; the first wireless frame carries first identification information, and the first identification information includes a parameter change information bit of the BSS in which the AP is located.

[0130] During the SBP process, the parameters of the AP may change. If the unassociated station device (U-STA) is not associated with the AP, the AP cannot control the behavior of the U-STA. If certain parameters of the AP change, the AP may not be able to control the U-STA participating in the perception measurement. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, during the process of establishing the SBP between the AP and the U-STA, or during the TB perception measurement of the SBP, a first wireless frame is determined, and the first identification information is carried in the first wireless frame. The first identification information includes a parameter change information bit of the BSS in which the AP is located. In this way, the U-STA can determine the changed parameters through the parameter change information bit in the first identification information, so as to facilitate participation in the TB perception measurement process.

[0131] Step 202: Send the first radio frame to the U-STA.

[0132] Among them, when the U-STA initiates the SBP process as the SBP initiator and requests the AP to initiate the TB perception measurement process as the SBP responder, if the U-STA participates in the TB perception measurement process, it can update the relevant parameters according to the parameter change information bit in the first wireless frame and perform the perception measurement process with the SBP responder.

[0133] FIG3 is a second interactive diagram of the proxy-aware SBP parameter update method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG3 , during the SBP establishment process, the method includes:

[0134] In step 301 , a U-STA (the station device 101 in FIG. 3 ) sends an SBP request frame to the access point device 102 .

[0135] Among them, during the SBP establishment process, the U-STA sends an SBP request frame (SBP Request) to the access point device, requesting the AP to act as the SBP responder to initiate the TB perception measurement process on its behalf; optionally, before sending the SBP request frame, the U-STA can listen to the beacon frame or unsolicited probe response frame sent by the AP, and understand the AP's sensing capabilities and the specific parameters of the perception measurement supported by the AP based on the extended capabilities information element and the sensing capabilities information element carried in the beacon frame and / or the unsolicited probe response frame; when the AP's sensing capabilities and the specific parameters of the perception measurement supported meet the parameters of the SBP process that the U-STA needs to initiate, the SBP request frame is sent to the AP.

[0136] Step 302: The SBP request frame identifies that the U-STA participates in TB perception measurement, and the parameters of the BSS where the AP is located change. The access point device 102 determines a first radio frame, and the first radio frame includes an SBP response frame.

[0137] Among them, the way to identify the U-STA's participation in TB perception measurement in the SBP request frame can be to set the sensing responder bit in the SBP parameters control field to 1; if the sensing responder bit is 1, it can be determined that the U-STA participates in the TB perception measurement. At this time, if the parameters of the BSS where the AP is located change, the AP determines a first wireless frame, and carries first identification information in the first wireless frame. The first identification information includes the parameter change information bit of the BSS where the AP is located. In this way, the U-STA can determine the changed parameters through the parameter change information bit in the first identification information, so as to facilitate participation in the TB perception measurement process.

[0138] The first wireless frame includes an SBP response frame, for example, a new information bit in the SBP response frame is used to carry the first identification information. It is understandable that the change in the parameters of the BSS in which the AP is located may occur after receiving the SBP request frame, or may occur relative to the BSS parameters most recently broadcast by the AP via a beacon frame and / or an unsolicited probe response frame.

[0139] Step 303: Send the first wireless frame to the U-STA.

[0140] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG3 , the SBP response frame includes a sensing measurement parameter element;

For example, the first identification bit is set to "0" to indicate that the TPE has not changed; the first identification bit is set to "1" to indicate that the TPE has changed.

[0145] The second flag is used to identify whether the punctured channel has changed; for example, the second flag is set to "0" to indicate that the punctured channel has not changed; the second flag is set to "1" to indicate that the punctured channel has changed.

[0146] Case 2: The parameter change information bit includes a third identification bit, and the third identification bit indicates that at least one of the TPE and the punctured channel has changed, and the first wireless frame carries a sub-element corresponding to the changed parameter, and the element identifier of the sub-element is the same as the element identifier of the sensing measurement parameter in the first wireless frame.

[0147] Among them, if at least one of the TPE and the punctured channel changes, the first wireless frame carries sub-elements corresponding to the changed parameters, and among these sub-elements, the element identifier is the same as the element identifier of the SBP information element in the first wireless frame, so as to facilitate identification of the sub-element as a sub-element of the perception measurement parameter.

[0148] In some embodiments, in case 2, as shown in FIG3 , the sub-element includes the changed parameter;

[0166] Among them, during the TB perception measurement process, since the U-STA participates in the TB perception measurement process as a perception responder, it needs to obtain the parameter changes of the BSS where the AP is located. Therefore, the AP carries the first identification information in the Sensing Measurement Request frame, and carries the parameter change information bit of the BSS where the AP is located through the first identification information, so that the U-STA obtains the parameter changes of the BSS where the AP is located and participates in the TB perception measurement process.

[0176] In some embodiments, in case 4, as shown in FIG4 , the sub-element includes the changed parameter;

[0177] The sub-elements corresponding to the TPE include TPE sub-elements;

[0178] The sub-element of the punctured channel includes a bandwidth indication sub-element.
