Technical Field

[0002] The present application relates to the field of communications, and in particular to a communication method and device. Background Art

[0003] During the perception process, when the core network device instructs the base station to perform the perception task, it will send the perception requirements corresponding to the perception task to the access network device, such as the perception location accuracy requirement, rate accuracy requirement, perception allocation rate requirement, etc.; after receiving the perception requirements from the core network, the access network device will configure the corresponding perception wireless resources according to the perception requirements, such as time domain resources, frequency domain resources, spatial domain resources, etc., and perform the perception task based on the perception wireless resources to obtain the perception results.

[0004] However, the sensing results obtained by the access network equipment based on sensing wireless resources may not meet the requirements of the sensing task, or the requirements of the sensing task may change. In this case, how to perform the sensing task and improve the sensing performance is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0005] Summary of the Invention

[0006] The embodiments of the present application provide a communication method and apparatus that can improve perception performance.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] In a first aspect, a communication method is provided. The method can be executed by an access network device, or by a component of the access network device, such as a processor, chip, or chip system of the access network device. It can also be implemented by a logic module or software that can implement all or part of the functions of the access network device, such as a distributed unit (DU). The following is an example of the method being executed by an access network device. The method includes: sending a first message, the first message carrying a first perception measurement result, the first perception measurement result being a result obtained by measuring in a perception task based on a first perception requirement; receiving a second message, and performing a perception task based on a second perception requirement, the second message carrying information for indicating a second perception requirement, the second perception requirement being used for the perception task, and the second perception requirement being different from the first perception requirement.

[0009] Based on the methods from the first aspect to the second aspect, it can be seen that the access network device currently performs the sensing task based on a set of sensing radio resources, that is, the sensing radio resources will not change during the process of the access network device performing the sensing task. However, in the sensing task, there may be multiple different sensing states. For example, the sensing task requires sensing and measuring objects in the surrounding environment at the beginning, and after measuring the object, the target object in the object is continuously located. In this case, using a set of sensing radio resources for sensing measurement cannot cope with the different sensing states during the sensing process, so that the sensing results obtained based on the sensing radio resources cannot meet the requirements of the sensing task. Therefore, the access network device can use multiple sets of wireless sensing resources to perform the sensing task to cope with different sensing states during the sensing process. For example, during the process of performing the sensing task, the access network device can report the first sensing measurement result measured based on the first sensing requirement, so that the first network element can adjust the subsequent sensing requirement (i.e., the second sensing requirement) according to the first sensing measurement result, and send the second sensing requirement to the access network device; after receiving the second sensing requirement, the access network device can configure the wireless sensing resources corresponding to the second sensing requirement and continue to perform sensing measurements based on the wireless sensing resources. In this way, the access network device can configure different perception wireless resources according to different perception requirements sent by the first network element, so that the measurement results based on different perception wireless resources during the perception process can meet the requirements of the perception task and improve the perception performance.

[0010] In one possible design scheme, the second message carries first indication information, and the first indication information is used to indicate the second beam that performs the perception task based on the second perception requirement. It can be understood that when the access network device is required to use an omnidirectional beam for perception measurement, the perception requirements, such as the first perception requirement, the second perception requirement, etc., can be indicated to the access network device. At this time, the access network device can use the perception wireless resources configured according to the perception requirement to perform perception measurements in various directions; when the access network device is required to use a directional beam, the perception requirement and the beam corresponding to the perception requirement can be indicated to the access network device, so that the access network device configures the perception wireless resources according to the perception requirement and performs the perception task on the beam using the perception wireless resources. In this way, when the access network device is required to use a directional beam, the access network device can perform perception measurement based on the second beam, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the perception measurement.

[0011] Optionally, the first indication information is location information or direction information. It is understood that the first perceived object can be determined based on the first perception measurement result, and the first indication information can be location information or direction information of a second perceived object determined based on the first perceived object. The perceived objects in the second perceived object are at least some of the perceived objects in the first perceived object. That is, the access network device needs to perform perception measurement on the second perceived object according to the second perception requirement. In this way, the access network device can accurately determine the second beam based on the location information or direction information of the second perceived object.

[0012] Furthermore, the direction information is a departure angle direction or a transmission direction. That is, the direction information may be a departure angle direction or a transmission direction of the second beam. The direction information may be determined based on the locations of the second sensed object and the access network device.

[0013] Optionally, the first message also carries beam information of the first beam corresponding to the first perception measurement result, and the second beam belongs to the first beam. It can be understood that under non-line-of-sight conditions, the access network device can send both the first perception measurement result and the first beam to the first network element, so that the first network element can determine on which beam the different perceived objects in the first perception measurement result are measured. After the first network element determines the second perceived object from the first perceived object corresponding to the first perception measurement result, it can send the second perception requirement determined based on the second perceived object together with the second beam to the access network device, so that the access network device can perform the perception task on the second beam using the perception wireless resource corresponding to the second perception requirement, thereby ensuring the correctness of the beam used to utilize the perception wireless resource.

[0014] Furthermore, the beam information is the beam number and / or the transmission direction of the beam. That is, different beams can be accurately indicated by the beam number and / or the transmission direction of the beam.

[0015] In one possible design, the second message further carries first time information, where the first time information indicates a time for transmitting a second perception measurement result, where the second perception measurement result is a result measured in the perception task based on the second perception requirement. In this way, the first network element can flexibly set a time for the access network device to report the second perception measurement result based on actual circumstances.

[0016] In one possible design, before sending the first message, the method described in the first aspect further includes: receiving a third message, and configuring, based on the third message, perceptual radio resources corresponding to the first perceptual requirement; wherein the third message carries information indicating the first perceptual requirement. In other words, the first network element can indicate to the access network device the perceptual requirement to be used, eliminating the need for the access network device to preconfigure multiple different perceptual requirements. In other words, there is no need to select a desired perceptual requirement from among the preconfigured requirements, thereby increasing the flexibility of perceptual radio resource configuration.

[0017] In one possible design, before sending the first message, the method according to the first aspect further includes: receiving a third message, and configuring, based on the third message, sensing radio resources corresponding to multiple different sensing requirements; wherein the third message carries information indicating the multiple different sensing requirements, the multiple different sensing requirements including the first sensing requirement and the second sensing requirement. This facilitates switching of sensing radio resources corresponding to different sensing requirements during the execution of a sensing task by the access network device.

[0018] Optionally, the third message further carries second time information, where the second time information indicates a time for sending the first perception measurement result, where the first perception measurement result is a result measured in the perception task based on the first perception requirement. In this way, the first network element can flexibly set a time for the access network device to report the first perception measurement result based on actual conditions.

[0019] Optionally, the fifth message carries information indicating the first perception requirement. It is understood that the fifth message can be used to instruct the initiation of perception measurements for a perception task. That is, when an access network device is pre-configured with perception radio resources corresponding to multiple different perception requirements, the message instructing the initiation of perception measurements for the perception task can carry information indicating the perception radio resources to be used by the access network device, such as information indicating the first perception requirement. This ensures that the access network device performs the perception task as required, thereby obtaining perception results that meet the perception task requirements.

[0020] Furthermore, after configuring the perception wireless resources corresponding to the first perception requirement according to the third message, or after configuring the perception wireless resources corresponding to multiple different perception requirements according to the third message, the method described in the first aspect also includes: receiving a fifth message, and the fifth message is used to indicate the initiation of perception measurement for the perception task.

[0021] Furthermore, the fifth message carries third time information, which is used to indicate the time for sending the first perception measurement result, where the first perception measurement result is a result measured based on the first perception requirement in the perception task. In this way, the first network element can flexibly set the time for the access network device to report the first perception measurement result based on actual conditions.

[0022] In a second aspect, a communication method is provided. The method can be executed by a first network element, such as a processor, chip, or chip system of the first network element, or can be implemented by a logic module or software that can implement all or part of the functions of the first network element. The following description uses the method executed by the first network element as an example. The method includes: receiving a first message and sending a second message based on the first message; wherein the first message carries a first perception measurement result, the first perception measurement result being a result measured in a perception task based on a first perception requirement, and the second message carries information for indicating a second perception requirement, the second perception requirement being used for the perception task, and the second perception requirement being different from the first perception requirement.

[0023] In one possible design scheme, the second message carries first indication information, and the first indication information is used to indicate a second beam that performs a perception task based on a second perception requirement.

[0024] Optionally, the first indication information is location information or direction information.

[0025] Furthermore, the direction information is a departure angle direction or a transmission direction.

[0026] In one possible design scheme, the first message also carries beam information of the first beam corresponding to the first perception measurement result, and the second beam belongs to the first beam.

[0027] Furthermore, the beam information is the beam number and / or the transmission direction of the beam.

[0028] In a possible design scheme, the second message also carries first time information, and the first time information is used to indicate the time of receiving the second perception measurement result, and the second perception measurement result is a result obtained by measuring based on the second perception requirement in the perception task.

[0029] In a possible design scheme, before receiving the first message, the method described in the second aspect also includes: sending a third message, where the third message carries information for indicating the first perception requirement.

[0030] In one possible design scheme, before receiving the first message, the method described in the second aspect also includes: sending a third message, the third message carrying information indicating multiple different perception requirements, the multiple different perception requirements including the first perception requirement and the second perception requirement.

[0031] Optionally, the third message further carries second time information, where the second time information is used to indicate a time for receiving the first perception measurement result, where the first perception measurement result is a result obtained by measuring based on the first perception requirement in the perception task.

[0032] Optionally, the fifth message carries information indicating the first perception requirement.

[0033] Optionally, after sending the third message, the method described in the second aspect also includes: receiving a fourth message, and sending a fifth message based on the fourth message; wherein the fourth message is used to indicate that the perception wireless resources corresponding to the third message have been configured, and the fifth message is used to indicate the initiation of perception measurement for the perception task.

[0034] Furthermore, the fifth message also carries third time information, and the third time information is used to indicate the time of receiving the first perception measurement result, where the first perception measurement result is a result obtained by measuring based on the first perception requirement in the perception task.

[0035] In addition, the technical effects of the method described in the second aspect can also refer to the technical effects of the method described in the first aspect, and will not be repeated here.

[0070] For ease of understanding, the technical terms involved in the embodiments of this application are first introduced below.

[0071] 1. Communication and perception integration

[0072] As shown in Figure 1, communication-perception integration is a key technology in next-generation wireless communication systems. It aims to integrate wireless communication and perception functions into a single system, leveraging the various propagation characteristics of wireless signals to achieve perception functions such as target positioning, detection, imaging, and identification. This allows for acquisition of information about the surrounding physical environment, improving communication performance and enhancing the user experience. In communication-perception integration, network devices transmit perception signals and receive echo signals to perform perception, acquiring information such as the location and velocity of targets in the environment.

[0073] A perception signal can refer to a signal used to perceive or detect a target, or a signal used to perceive or detect environmental information. For example, a perception signal can be an electromagnetic wave transmitted by a network device to perceive environmental information. A perception signal can also be referred to as a radar signal, radar perception signal, detection signal, radar detection signal, or environmental perception signal, without limitation.

[0074] The echo signal is the signal generated by the perception signal being reflected by the target in the environment. The time delay of the echo signal relative to the transmitted perception signal reflects the distance of the target; the Doppler frequency shift of the echo signal relative to the transmitted perception signal reflects the speed of the target.

[0075] Targets (or perceived targets) can include various tangible objects on the ground that can be sensed, such as mountains, forests, or buildings. They can also include movable objects such as vehicles, drones, pedestrians, and terminal devices. A target is a target that can be sensed by a network device with sensing capabilities and can feed electromagnetic waves back to the network device. Targets can also be referred to as detected targets, perceived objects, detected objects, or perceived devices, without limitation.

[0076] 2. Perception Mode

[0077] Perception can generally be categorized as single-station and dual-station. In single-station sensing, the transmitter and receiver of the sensing signal are the same device. In terms of the sensing signal process, the sensing station both transmits the sensing signal and receives the signal reflected from the target surface. Therefore, the single-station sensing mode is also known as the self-transmitting, self-receiving mode. In dual-station sensing, the transmitter and receiver of the sensing signal are different devices. In terms of the sensing signal process, after sensing station A transmits the sensing signal, the signal reflected from the target surface is received by sensing station B. Therefore, the dual-station sensing mode is also known as the A-transmitting, B-receiving mode.

[0078] As shown in Figure 2, in the current 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) discussions, it has been determined that the sensing modes can be divided into the following six modes:

[0079] 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 the echo signal is received by the base station.

[0080] 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 then the echo signal is received by base station B.

[0081] 3) Base station sends and terminal receives: The sensing signal is sent by the base station, reflected by the target in the environment, and then the echo signal is received by the terminal.

[0082] 4) Terminal sends and base station receives: The sensing signal is sent by the terminal, reflected by the target in the environment, and then the echo signal is received by the base station.

[0083] 5) Terminal self-transmission and self-reception: The sensing signal is sent by the terminal, reflected by the target in the environment, and then the echo signal is received by the terminal.

[0084] 6) Terminal A sends and terminal B receives: The sensing signal is sent by terminal A, reflected by the target in the environment, and then the echo signal is received by terminal B.

[0085] 3. Beam

[0086] Beamforming is a special, directional transmission or reception effect created by the antenna array of a network device or terminal's transmitter or receiver, similar to the beam formed by a flashlight that focuses light in a single direction. Transmitting and receiving signals using beamforming can effectively increase signal transmission distance.

[0087] The beam can be a wide beam, a narrow beam, or other types of beams. The beam forming technology can be beamforming technology or other technologies. The beamforming technology can specifically be digital beamforming technology, analog beamforming technology, or hybrid digital / analog beamforming technology.

[0088] Beams generally correspond to resources. For example, when performing beam measurement, the network device measures different beams using different resources, and the terminal feeds back the measured resource quality, allowing the network device to know the quality of the corresponding beam. During data transmission, beams can also be indicated by their corresponding resources. For example, the network device indicates a transmission configuration indication-state through the transmission configuration index (TCI) field in the downlink control information (DCI), and the terminal determines the beam corresponding to the reference resource based on the reference resource contained in the TCI-state.

[0089] In communication protocols, beams can be specifically characterized as digital beams, analog beams, spatial domain filters, spatial filters, spatial parameters, TCIs, TCI-states, etc. A beam used to transmit signals can be called a transmission beam (or Tx beam), a spatial domain transmission filter, a spatial transmission filter, a spatial domain transmission parameter, or a spatial transmission parameter. A beam used to receive signals can be called a reception beam (or Rx beam), a spatial domain reception filter, a spatial reception filter, a spatial domain reception parameter, or a spatial reception parameter.

[0090] It can be understood that the embodiments of the present application uniformly use beams for description, but beams can be replaced by other equivalent concepts and are not limited to the concepts mentioned above.

[0091] During the perception process, when the core network device instructs the access network device to perform the perception task, it will send the perception requirements corresponding to the perception task to the access network device, such as the perception location accuracy requirement, the rate accuracy requirement, the perception allocation rate requirement, etc.; after receiving the perception requirements from the core network, the access network device will configure the corresponding perception wireless resources according to the perception requirements, such as time domain resources, frequency domain resources, spatial domain resources, etc., and perform the perception task based on the perception wireless resources to obtain the perception results. In other words, the access network device performs the perception task based on a set of perception wireless resources, that is, the perception wireless resources will not change during the process of the access network device performing the perception task. It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, "perception requirement" is only an exemplary expression, and "perception requirement" can also be replaced by any possible expression, such as "perception demand", "perception service quality (QoS)", etc., without limitation.

[0092] However, a perception task may involve multiple different perception states. For example, a perception task may initially require sensing and measuring objects in the surrounding environment. After measuring the objects, the target object within the environment must be continuously located. In this case, using only one set of perception radio resources for sensing and measurement cannot cope with the different perception states during the perception process, or when the requirements of the perception task change. In this case, how to execute the perception task and improve perception performance is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0093] In response to the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present application propose the following technical solutions to improve perception performance.

[0094] The technical solution in this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0095] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application can be applied to various communication systems, such as 4th generation (4G) mobile communication systems, such as long term evolution (LTE) systems, fifth generation (5G) mobile communication systems, such as new radio (NR) systems, and communication systems evolved after 5G, such as sixth generation (6G) mobile communication systems. They can also be applied to wireless fidelity (WiFi) systems, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication systems, device-to-device (D2D) communication systems, and Internet of Vehicles communication systems. They can also be applied to open access networks (open RAN, O-RAN or ORAN), cloud radio access networks (CRAN), or communication networks of two or more of the above networks.

[0096] This application will present various aspects, embodiments, or features in the context of systems that may include multiple devices, components, modules, etc. It should be understood and appreciated that each system may include additional devices, components, modules, etc., and / or may not include all of the devices, components, modules, etc. discussed in conjunction with the figures.

[0102] Among them, the access network device can be a device with wireless transceiver functions, or it can be a chip or chip system set in the device, located in the access network (AN) of the communication system, and used to provide access services to the terminal. For example, the access network device can be called a radio access network device (RAN) device, and specifically can be a next-generation mobile communication system, such as a 6G access network device, such as a 6G base station, or in the next-generation mobile communication system, the network device can also have other naming methods, which are all included in the protection scope of the embodiments of this application, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this. Alternatively, the network device may include 5G, such as a gNB in ​​a new radio (NR) system, or one or a group of antenna panels (including multiple antenna panels) of a base station in a 5G system, or a network node constituting a gNB, a transmission and reception point (TRP or TP), or a transmission measurement function (TMF), such as a central unit (CU), a distributed unit (DU), a CU-control plane (CP), a CU-user plane (UP), a radio unit (RU), a roadside unit (RSU) with base station functionality, a wired access gateway, or a 5G core network element. Alternatively, the network device may include an access point (AP) in a wireless fidelity (WiFi) system, a wireless relay node, a wireless backhaul node, various types of macro base stations, micro base stations (also known as small cells), relay stations, access points, wearable devices, vehicle-mounted devices, and the like. The CU here completes the functions of the base station's radio resource control protocol and packet data convergence protocol (PDCP), and can also complete the function of the service data adaptation protocol (SDAP); the DU completes the functions of the base station's radio link control layer and medium access control (MAC) layer, and can also complete part of the physical layer or all of the physical layer. For detailed descriptions of the above protocol layers, please refer to the relevant technical specifications of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).The CU and DU may be set separately, or may be included in the same network element, such as a baseband unit (BBU). The RU may be included in a radio frequency device or a 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 can understand their meanings. For example, in the ORAN system, CU may also be called O-CU (open CU), DU may also be called O-DU, and RU may also be called O-RU. Any of the CU (or CU-CP, CU-UP), DU and RU in this application may be implemented by a software module, a hardware module, or a combination of a software module and a hardware module.

[0103] The first network element is responsible for the relevant content of the perception operation, such as participating in receiving perception service requests and obtaining corresponding perception requirements, selecting and requesting relevant perception devices to perform perception operations and receive corresponding perception measurement data, and opening the perception measurement data or the perception results obtained based on the perception measurement data to the perception requester. The first network element can be a sensing function (SF) network element, or other network elements with the aforementioned functions; the first network element can also be a core network device, without limitation.

[0104] In a communication system, an access network device can report a first perception measurement result obtained based on a first perception requirement to a first network element during the execution of a perception task, so that the first network element can adjust the perception requirement based on the first perception measurement result; after receiving the adjusted perception requirement (i.e., the second perception requirement), the access network device can configure wireless perception resources corresponding to the second perception requirement and continue to perform perception measurements based on the wireless perception resources. In other words, the access network device can use multiple sets of perception wireless resources to perform perception tasks to cope with various perception states of the perception task. In this way, the access network device can obtain perception results that meet the requirements of the perception task and improve perception performance.

[0105] It can be understood that FIG3 is a simplified schematic diagram for ease of understanding, and the communication system may also include other network devices and / or other terminal devices, which are not shown in FIG3 .

[0106] For ease of understanding, the communication method provided in the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to FIG4 .

[0107] For example, Figure 4 is a flow chart of a communication method provided in an embodiment of the present application. This method can be applied to the communication between the access network device and the first network element in the above communication system.

[0108] As shown in Figure 4, the process of the communication method is as follows:

[0109] S401: An access network device sends a first message. Correspondingly, a first network element receives the first message from the access network device.

[0110] The first message is used to indicate a first perception measurement result obtained based on the first perception requirement in the perception task, such as the first message carries the first perception measurement result.

[0111] The perception requirement is a requirement for the perception QoS of the perception task, which may include parameters such as perception accuracy, resolution, area, omnidirectional beam, and directional beam, and may be determined based on the perception task. The first perception requirement is a perception QoS requirement for the perception task. That is, in an embodiment of the present application, a perception task may have multiple perception requirements, and different perception requirements may be used at different stages of the perception task. For example, at the beginning of perception task #c, perception measurement is performed based on perception requirement #a; after a preset time period, perception measurement may be performed based on perception requirement #b until the end of perception task #c.

[0112] The first perception measurement result is the result obtained by measuring based on the first perception requirement in the perception task, which includes the results obtained by measuring on different beams (recorded as result #1). For example: in the perception task, based on the first perception requirement, result #a is measured on beam #A, and result #b is measured on beam #B, then the first perception measurement result includes result #a and result #b. The first perception measurement result can be the original signal data obtained by measurement, or it can be the channel state information after signal processing, such as the amplitude and phase information of the signal, or other data, such as the Doppler velocity spectrum, distance spectrum, angle spectrum, etc., which can be set according to actual conditions, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. It can be understood that by processing the first perception measurement result, the perceived object and the position, velocity and other information of the perceived object perceived and measured in the perception task can be determined, and the specific processing method is not limited in this application.

[0113] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, "first perception measurement result" is only an exemplary expression, and "first perception measurement result" can also be replaced by any possible expression, such as "first perception measurement data", "first perception data", etc., without limitation.

[0114] Optionally, the first message also carries beam information of the first beam corresponding to the first perception measurement result.

[0115] The first beam is the beam for which the first perception measurement result is measured, including beam #1 for which result #1 is measured. That is, each result #1 in the first perception measurement result corresponds one-to-one to each beam #1 in the first beam. Continuing with the above example, the first beam includes beam #A and beam #B. Result #a is measured using beam #A, and result #b is measured using beam #B. Therefore, beam #A corresponds to result #a, and beam #B corresponds to result #b. Beam information can be used to indicate different beams, that is, beam information for different beams can be used to identify each beam. The beam information can be a beam number and / or a beam transmission direction. For example, the beam information for beam #1 can be number #1 corresponding to beam #1, or the beam information for beam #1 can be transmission direction #1, or the beam information for beam #1 can be both number #1 and transmission direction #1. Beam #1 can be identified using number #1 and / or transmission direction #1.

[0116] It can be understood that the access network device can perform perception measurement under line of sight (LOS) conditions or non-line of sight (NLOS) conditions. For LOS conditions, there are no obstructions between the access network device and the perceived object, and the perception beam of the access network device is on a direct path. Therefore, the direction of the perception beam is the direction of the perceived object relative to the access network device, that is, the perception beam can be determined by the position of the perceived object. In this case, the first message may not carry beam information of the first beam, that is, the beam corresponding to each result #1 in the first perception measurement result can be determined by the position corresponding to each result #1. For NLOS conditions, there are obstructions between the access network device and the perceived object, and the perception beam of the access network device is on a scattering path. Therefore, the direction of the perception beam may be different from the position of the perceived object, that is, the beam determined only by the position of the perceived object may be incorrect. In this case, the first message needs to carry the beam information of the first beam, and correspond each result #1 in the first perception measurement result to each beam #1 in the first beam one-to-one, so as to accurately indicate the beam corresponding to each result #1 in the first perception measurement result.

[0117] S402: The first network element sends a second message according to the first message. Correspondingly, the access network device receives the second message from the first network element.

[0118] The second message may be used to indicate the second perception requirement, such as the second message carries information used to indicate the second perception requirement.

[0119] The second perception requirement is used for the aforementioned perception task; that is, the second perception requirement is a perception QoS requirement for the perception task. The second perception requirement and the first perception requirement are requirements for two adjacent phases of the perception task. For example, the first perception requirement requires that the perception task perform perception measurements within a first time period, while the second perception requirement requires that the perception task perform perception measurements within a second time period. The first and second time periods are adjacent, and the first time period precedes the second time period. The second perception requirement differs from the first perception requirement, meaning that the two may differ in whole or in part. For example, the first perception requirement includes perception accuracy #1, resolution #1, and a directional beam, while the second perception requirement includes perception accuracy #2, resolution #1, and a directional beam. Perception accuracy #1 and perception accuracy #2 differ, meaning the second perception requirement differs in part from the first perception requirement. For another example, the first perception requirement includes location accuracy #1 and perception accuracy #1, while the second perception requirement includes location accuracy #2 and perception accuracy #2. Location accuracy #1 and location accuracy #2 differ, and perception accuracy #1 and perception accuracy #2 differ, meaning the second perception requirement differs in whole from the first perception requirement.

[0120] The information used to indicate the second perception requirement may be information of specific requirements corresponding to the second perception requirement, such as: perception accuracy of 80%, location accuracy of 60%, etc.; it may also be a numerical value agreed upon by the first network element and the access network device to indicate the second perception requirement, such as: for perception task #11, the first network element and the access network device pre-set the perception requirement #a1-perception requirement #a4 that may correspond to the perception task #11, or the first network element sends the perception requirement #a1-perception requirement #a4 corresponding to the perception task #11 to the access network device in advance, and the access network device pre-configures the perception wireless resources corresponding to the perception requirement #a1-perception requirement #a4; wherein, the perception requirement #a1-perception requirement #a4 are indicated by bits 00, 01, 10, and 11 respectively. In this case, the information used to indicate the second perception requirement may be 00, 01, 10, or 11. For example, when the first network element indicates perception requirement #a1, 00 may be carried in the first message.

[0121] The first network element can determine the next perception status of the perception task based on the information carried by the first message; then determine the second perception requirement based on the perception status, and indicate the second perception requirement to the access network device through the second message, so that the access network device updates the perception wireless resource configuration according to the second perception requirement, and uses the updated perception wireless resources to perform perception measurement.

[0122] Exemplarily, the first network element processes the first perception measurement result and can determine the first perceived object corresponding to the first perception measurement result. The first perceived object is an object (such as a vehicle, drone, etc.) measured based on the first perception requirement in the perception task. Then, the first network element can determine the second perceived object based on the first perceived object, and the access network device needs to perceive the second perceived object according to the second perception requirement. It can be understood that the second perceived object can be a target of interest determined by the first network element based on the first perceived object, or it can be a target determined based on the first perceived object according to a preset rule, without limitation.

[0123] For example, the first network element obtains perceived objects #1-perceived objects #15 (first perceived objects) through the first perception measurement results, that is, perceived objects #1-perceived objects #15 are objects measured based on the first perception requirements in the perception task; then, the first network element determines perceived objects #1-perceived objects #4 (second perceived objects) from perceived objects #1-perceived objects #15; and then determines the second perception requirements based on perceived objects #1-perceived objects #4, and sends the second perception requirements to the access network device through a second message.

[0124] It can be understood that if the first network element does not determine the second perceived object based on the first perceived object, such as does not determine the target of interest, then the first network element may send a perception requirement different from the first perception requirement to the access network device, such as a second perception requirement. The perception requirement may be lower or higher than the QoS of the first perception requirement, and may be set specifically according to actual conditions; or, the first network element may not send the second perception requirement to the access network device, that is, in this case, the access network device may continue to perform perception measurements according to the first perception requirement.

[0125] Optionally, the second message carries first indication information, where the first indication information is used to indicate a second beam for performing a perception task based on a second perception requirement, and the second beam is used to indicate a beam used for measuring a second perceived object.

[0126] It can be understood that when the conditions for the access network device to perform perception measurement are different, the first indication information may be different, which is introduced below in different situations.

[0127] Case 1: Access network equipment performs perception measurements under LOS conditions.

[0128] In this case, the first indication information may be location information or direction information, for example, the first indication information may be location information or direction information of the second perceived object. The location information may be the absolute location of the second perceived object, such as the location of the second perceived object in an absolute coordinate system, or the relative location of the second perceived object, such as the location of the second perceived object in a relative coordinate system of the access network device. The direction information may be a departure angle or a transmission direction, that is, the direction information may be the departure angle or transmission direction of the beam transmitted by the access network device. The departure angle or transmission direction may be determined based on the position between the second perceived object and the access network device.

[0129] For example, the first network element obtains the first perception measurement object and the location information of the first perception measurement object based on the first perception measurement result; then determines the second perception measurement object from the first perception measurement object, and determines the second perception requirement based on the second perception measurement object; then, the second perception requirement and the location information of the second perception measurement object are sent to the access network device through a second message, so that the access network device adjusts or updates the perception wireless resources according to the second perception requirement, and determines the beam for executing the perception wireless resource based on the location information; or, the second perception requirement and the direction information of the second perception measurement object are sent to the access network device through a second message, so that the access network device adjusts the perception wireless resource according to the second perception requirement, and determines the beam for executing the perception wireless resource based on the direction information.

[0130] In scenario 1, the direction of the sensing beam is the direction of the sensed object relative to the access network device. That is, the sensing beam can be determined based on the location or direction of the sensed object, such as the location of the sensed object and the location of the access network device. Therefore, the first indication information can be location information or direction information. In this case, the access network device does not need to include beam information for the first beam corresponding to the first sensing measurement result in the first message, thereby reducing communication overhead for the access network device.

[0131] Case 2: The access network equipment performs sensing measurements under NLOS conditions and / or LOS conditions.

[0132] In this case, the first indication information can be the beam number of the second beam and / or the transmission direction of the second beam, for example: the first indication information is beam #3-beam #6, or the first indication information is transmission direction #1-transmission direction #3.

[0133] When the access network device performs perception measurement under NLOS conditions, the direction of the perception beam may be different from the position of the perceived object, that is, the perception beam determined by the position of the perceived object is incorrect, that is, the corresponding beam cannot be accurately determined by the position of the perceived object. Therefore, the first message needs to carry the beam information of the first beam corresponding to the first perception measurement result, and each result #1 in the first perception measurement result corresponds one-to-one to each beam #1 in the first beam. In this way, after determining the second perceived object, the first network element can determine the second beam that measures the second perceived object based on the correspondence between the first beam and the first perception measurement result, and send the second beam to the access network device to execute the adjusted wireless perception resources, that is, the wireless perception resources determined based on the second perception requirements.

[0134] It can be understood that in case 2, the first message carries the beam information of the first beam corresponding to the first perception measurement result, and the second beam belongs to the first beam.

[0135] Optionally, the second message carries first time information.

[0136] The first time information is used to indicate the time of sending or receiving the second perception measurement result, that is, for the access network device, the first time information is used to indicate the time of sending the second perception measurement result; for the first network element, the first time information is used to indicate the time of receiving the second perception measurement result. Exemplarily, the first time information can be a time point, such as: the first time information is 14:00; it can also be the time difference between the first perception measurement result and the second perception measurement result, such as: the first time information is 1 hour (h), which means that the access network device sends the second perception measurement result 1 hour after sending the first perception measurement result, that is, the first network element receives the second perception measurement result 1 hour after receiving the first perception measurement result. It can be understood that the first network element can set the time for the access network device to report the second perception requirement according to actual conditions. For example, if the current perception task needs to be reported frequently, the time corresponding to the first time information can be set shorter. If the current perception task does not need to be reported frequently, the time corresponding to the first time information can be set longer.

[0137] The second perception measurement result is the result obtained by measuring based on the second perception requirement in the perception task, which includes the results obtained by measuring on different beams. The second perception measurement result is similar to the first perception measurement result. For details, please refer to the relevant description of the aforementioned "first perception measurement result", which will not be repeated here. It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, "second perception measurement result" is only an exemplary expression, and "second perception measurement result" can also be replaced by any possible expression, such as "second perception measurement data", "second perception data", etc., without limitation.

[0138] Carrying the first time information in the second message can indicate the time at which the access network device reports the second perception measurement result, so that the access network device reports the second perception measurement result according to the time indicated by the first time information. This facilitates the first network element to adjust the perception requirements of the perception task. In addition, the first network element can flexibly determine the first time information based on actual conditions.

[0139] Optionally, the second message carries a sensing task identifier for indicating the sensing task, so as to indicate which sensing task the second sensing requirement belongs to, thereby preventing the access network device from applying the second sensing requirement to other sensing tasks.

[0140] S403: The access network device performs a perception task based on the second perception requirement.

[0141] That is, after receiving the second message, the access network device can determine the adjusted perception wireless resources according to the second perception requirement carried in the second message, and perform the perception task based on the perception wireless resources.

[0142] It can be understood that when the second message also carries the first indication information, the access network device can also determine the second beam according to the first indication information, and perform the perception task based on the second beam and the adjusted perception wireless resources.

[0143] Optionally, when the second message carries the first time information, after the access network device performs the sensing task based on the second sensing requirement (i.e., S403), the communication method may further include: the access network device sending the second sensing measurement result to the first network element based on the first time information. In other words, the access network device may further report the second sensing measurement result to the first network element based on the first time information, so that the first network element determines whether to adjust subsequent sensing requirements based on the second sensing measurement result.

[0144] In summary, in an embodiment of the present application, during the execution of a perception task, the access network device may report a first perception measurement result measured based on a first perception requirement, so that the first network element may adjust subsequent perception requirements (i.e., second perception requirements) based on the first perception measurement result, and send the second perception requirement to the access network device; after receiving the second perception requirement, the access network device may configure wireless perception resources corresponding to the second perception requirement, and continue to perform perception measurements based on the wireless perception resources. In this way, the access network device may configure different perception wireless resources based on different perception requirements sent by the first network element, so that the results of measurements based on different perception wireless resources during the perception process can meet the requirements of the perception task and improve perception performance.

[0145] It is understandable that before the access network device sends the first message (i.e., before S401), the first network element may send the first perception requirement to the access network device, or the first network element may send multiple perception requirements including the first perception requirement and the second perception requirement to the access network device. The following are respectively explained.

[0146] In the first possible implementation, in combination with the above embodiments, before the access network device sends the first message (i.e., before S401), the above communication method may also include: the first network element sends a third message, and the third message carries information for indicating the first perception requirement; accordingly, the access network device receives the third message from the first network element (S400a in Figure 4); the access network device configures the perception wireless resources corresponding to the first perception requirement according to the third message (S400b in Figure 4).

[0147] It is understood that, before sending the third message to the access network device, the first network element has already determined that the access network device participates in the sensing task. Therefore, the first network element sends the third message to the access network device to request the access network device to configure sensing radio resources according to the first sensing requirement. After receiving the third message, the access network device may configure sensing radio resources corresponding to the first sensing requirement according to the third message.

[0148] Optionally, the third message also carries second time information.

[0149] The second time information is used to indicate the time of sending or receiving the first perception measurement result. The first perception measurement result is the result measured based on the first perception requirement during the perception task. That is, for the access network device, the first time information is used to indicate the time of sending the first perception measurement result; for the first network element, the first time information is used to indicate the time of receiving the first perception measurement result. Exemplarily, the second time information can be a time point, such as 12:00. It can also be the time difference between receiving the third message and sending the first perception measurement result. For example, a second time information of 2 hours indicates that the access network device sends the first perception measurement result 2 hours after receiving the third message. It is understood that the first network element can set the time for the access network device to report the first perception requirement based on actual circumstances. For example, if the current perception task requires frequent reporting, the time corresponding to the second time information can be set to a shorter time; if the current perception task does not require frequent reporting, the time corresponding to the second time information can be set to a longer time. In addition, the second time information and the first time information can be the same or different, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0150] The second time information carried in the third message can indicate the time at which the access network device reports the first perception measurement result, so that the access network device reports the first perception measurement result according to the time indicated by the second time information. This facilitates the first network element to adjust the perception requirements of the perception task. In addition, the first network element can flexibly determine the second time information based on actual conditions.

[0151] Optionally, the third message carries a sensing task identifier for indicating the sensing task, so that the third message can be indicated as a message for the sensing task.

[0152] Optionally, after the access network device configures the perception wireless resources corresponding to the first perception requirement according to the third message, the above-mentioned communication method may further include: the access network device sends a fourth message, and the fourth message is used to indicate that the perception wireless resources corresponding to the third message have been configured; accordingly, the first network element receives the fourth message (S400c in Figure 4); the first network element sends a fifth message according to the fourth message, and the fifth message is used to indicate the initiation of perception measurement for the perception task; accordingly, the access network device receives the fifth message (S400d in Figure 4).

[0153] The perception wireless resources corresponding to the third message are perception wireless resources configured based on the first perception requirements.

[0154] After configuring the perception radio resources corresponding to the first perception requirement, the access network device may send a fourth message to the first network element to indicate that the perception radio resources corresponding to the first perception requirement have been configured. After receiving the fourth message, the first network element may determine, based on the fourth message, that the perception radio resources corresponding to the first perception requirement have been configured on the access network device. At this point, the first network element may send a fifth message to the access network device to instruct the access network device to measure the perception task.

[0155] Optionally, the fifth message carries information indicating the first perception requirement. The information indicating the first perception requirement may be information of specific requirements corresponding to the first perception requirement, such as a perception accuracy of 70%, a location accuracy of 70%, etc. In this way, when instructing the access network device to initiate the perception measurement, the first network element may send the first perception requirement to be used for the perception measurement to the access network device for use.

[0156] Furthermore, the fifth message carries third time information.

[0157] The third time information is used to indicate the time of sending or receiving the first perception measurement result. The first perception measurement result is the result obtained by measuring in the perception task based on the first perception requirement. That is, for the access network device, the third time information is used to indicate the time of sending the first perception measurement result; for the first network element, the third time information is used to indicate the time of receiving the first perception measurement result. Exemplarily, the third time information can be a time point, for example: the third time information is 12:00; it can also be the time difference between receiving the fifth message and sending the first perception measurement result. For example: the third time information is 2 hours, which means that the access network device sends the first perception measurement result 2 hours after receiving the fifth message. It can be understood that the time indicated by the second time information and the third time information is the same. Therefore, the second time information can be carried in the third message, or the third time information can be carried in the fifth message, thereby reducing communication overhead.

[0158] The third time information carried in the fifth message can indicate the time at which the access network device reports the first perception measurement result, so that the access network device reports the first perception measurement result according to the time indicated by the third time information. This facilitates the first network element to adjust the perception requirements of the perception task. In addition, the first network element can flexibly determine the third time information based on actual conditions.

[0159] Furthermore, the fifth message carries a sensing task identifier for indicating the sensing task.

[0160] In a second possible implementation, in combination with the above embodiment, before the access network device sends the first message (i.e., before S401), the above communication method also includes: the first network element sends a third message, the third message carries information indicating multiple different perception requirements, and the multiple different perception requirements include the first perception requirement and the second perception requirement; accordingly, the access network device receives the third message (S400A in Figure 4); the access network device configures the perception wireless resources corresponding to the multiple different perception requirements according to the third message (S400B in Figure 4).

[0161] It can be understood that the first network element can define a variety of different perception states for the perception task. For example, perception task #3 is to first sense and measure whether a perceived power line exists in all directions, and then continuously locate some of the measured perceived objects. For this perception task #3, the first network element can define perception requirement #31 and perception requirement #32. Perception requirement #31 is mainly used to detect whether a perceived object exists, and an omnidirectional beam and coarse-grained perception wireless resources can be configured. Perception requirement #32 is mainly used to continuously locate the perceived object, and a directional beam and fine-grained perception wireless resources can be configured. After defining a variety of different perception states, the first network element can send a variety of different perception requirements to the access network device, so that the access network device pre-configures the perception wireless resources corresponding to the various different perception requirements.

[0162] Optionally, the third message further carries second time information, and the second time information is used to indicate the time of sending the first perception measurement result. For details, please refer to the above-mentioned related introduction and will not be repeated here.

[0163] Optionally, the third message carries a perception task identifier for indicating the perception task. For details, please refer to the above related introduction and will not be repeated here.

[0164] Optionally, after the access network device configures the perception wireless resources corresponding to multiple different perception requirements according to the third message, the above-mentioned communication method may also include: the access network device sends a fourth message, and the fourth message is used to indicate that the perception wireless resources corresponding to the third message have been configured; accordingly, the first network element receives the fourth message (S400C in Figure 4); the first network element sends a fifth message according to the fourth message, and the fifth message is used to indicate the initiation of perception measurement for the perception task; accordingly, the access network device receives the fifth message (S400D in Figure 4).

[0165] The perception wireless resources corresponding to the third message are perception wireless resources configured based on a variety of different perception requirements.

[0166] Optionally, the fifth message carries information for indicating the first perception requirement. The information for indicating the first perception requirement may be a numerical value for indicating the first perception requirement agreed upon by the first network element and the access network device. For example, for perception task #33, the first network element sends perception requirements #b1 to #b4, which may correspond to the perception task #22, to the access network device, and the access network device configures corresponding wireless perception resources according to the perception requirements #b1 to #b4. The perception requirements #b1 to #b4 are indicated by bits 00, 01, 10, and 11, respectively. In this case, the information for indicating the first perception requirement may be 00, 01, 10, or 11. For example, when the first network element indicates perception requirement #b4, 11 may be carried in the first message.

[0167] After configuring the perception radio resources corresponding to the first perception requirement, the access network device may send a fourth message to the first network element to indicate that the perception radio resources corresponding to the multiple different perception requirements have been configured. After receiving the fourth message, the first network element may determine, based on the fourth message, that the perception radio resources corresponding to the first perception requirement have been configured on the access network device. At this point, the first network element may send a fifth message to the access network device to instruct the access network device to measure the perception task.

[0168] Furthermore, the fifth message carries third time information. For details, please refer to the above-mentioned related introduction and will not be repeated here.

[0169] Furthermore, the fifth message carries a perception task identifier for indicating the perception task. For details, please refer to the above-mentioned related introduction and will not be repeated here.

[0170] It can be seen that the above content introduces two different situations. The difference between the embodiment corresponding to the first possible implementation and the embodiment corresponding to the second possible implementation is that: in the first possible implementation, the first network element sends the perception requirement to the first network element only when the access network device needs to configure the perception radio resources corresponding to the perception requirement. Accordingly, after receiving the perception requirement, the access network device can configure the corresponding perception radio resources according to the perception requirement and perform the perception task based on the perception radio resources; in the second possible implementation, the first network element sends multiple different perception requirements corresponding to the perception task to the access network device for perception radio resource configuration, and when using a certain perception requirement among the multiple different perception requirements in the subsequent use, the perception requirement is directly indicated, so that the access network device can switch the perception radio resources corresponding to different perception requirements. In the two possible implementations, the first network element sends the third message and the fifth message, and the access network device sends the fourth message in a similar manner. The similarities can be referenced to each other.

[0171] It can be understood that the sending of the first and second perception requirements by the first network element can be part of the execution of the perception task. The first network element can also send multiple perception requirements based on actual conditions. For example, if the first network element cannot identify the target of interest based on the second perception measurement result, it can also send a third perception requirement to the access network device, that is, switch the perception state of the perception task. For another example, if the first network element determines that the location of the target of interest is beyond the perception range of the access network device, it can also send a perception requirement to the access network device to switch the perception state of the perception task. In addition, during the execution of the perception task, if the first network element does not detect the target of interest within a period of time, the first network element can send a session release or deactivation message to end the perception task.

[0172] It is also understood that FIG4 illustrates the communication method using an access network device or a first network element as an example. It should be understood that when the communication method is performed by a DU in an access network device, the sending or receiving steps performed by the access network device in FIG4 can be replaced by the sending or receiving of the DU, and further, can be the sending of the DU to the RU or the receiving of the DU from the RU.
