In this case, the interfaces between or within the access network devices involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be transformed into internal interfaces of the Open RAN, and the processes and information interactions between these internal interfaces can be implemented through software or programs.

[0847] In some embodiments, the access network device can be composed of a centralized unit (CU) and a distributed unit (DU), where the CU can also be called a control unit. The CU-DU structure can be used to split the protocol layer of the access network device, with the functions of some protocol layers centrally controlled by the CU, and the functions of the remaining part or all of the protocol layers distributed in the DU, which is centrally controlled by the CU, but is not limited to this.

[0852] In some embodiments, radar (radio detection and ranging) is a widely used wireless sensing technology that uses radio waves to determine the distance (range), angle, or instantaneous linear velocity of an object. Other sensing technologies, including non-RF sensors, are already used in other fields, such as time-of-flight (ToF) cameras, accelerometers, gyroscopes, and lidar.

[0853] In some embodiments, integrated sensing and communication in the system means that sensing capabilities are provided by the same wireless communication system and infrastructure used for communication. In addition, both terminals and New Radio (NR) Radio Access Network (RAN) nodes can act as sensing transmitters and sensing receivers in a sensing-enabled system.

[0854] In some embodiments, the communication provided by the sensing service is primarily used in at least one of the following application scenarios:

[0855] Real-time environmental monitoring: Using wireless signals to reconstruct environmental maps, further improving positioning accuracy and enabling environmental applications. For example, this enables a range of real-time monitoring applications, including dynamic 3D maps for driver assistance, pedestrian counting, intrusion detection, and traffic detection.

[0856] Autonomous vehicles or drones: Autonomous vehicles and drones share some common functional requirements. For example, they should support detect and avoid (DAA) to avoid obstacles. They should also be able to monitor path information, such as selecting routes and complying with traffic regulations.

[0857] Air pollution monitoring: The quality of the received wireless signal shows different attenuation characteristics as the air humidity, air particulate matter (PM) concentration, carrier frequency, etc. changes, and can be used for weather or air quality detection;

[0858] Indoor healthcare and intrusion detection: It can realize respiratory rate estimation, respiratory depth estimation, apnea detection, vital signs monitoring of the elderly and indoor intrusion detection.

[0859] In some embodiments, awareness of wireless communication channels and environments can further improve the performance of the communication system. Awareness-assisted communication scenarios may include at least one of the following:

[0860] Sense the UE's location and channel environment to narrow the beam scanning range and shorten the beam training time;

[0861] Sense the UE's position, speed, motion trajectory, and channel environment to perform beam prediction, reducing beam measurement overhead and beam tracking delay;

[0862] Perceive the UE's attributes and channel environment to improve channel estimation performance.

[0863] It should be noted that in the perception scenario, the perception transmitter (i.e., perception sender) or receiver (i.e., perception receiver) will be selected by the network or application. On the one hand, the network should consider privacy issues during the selection process. For example, the perception data may be related to the privacy of the perception target, and the perception results may be inferred by a UE (e.g., perception receiver) that is capable of collecting and processing perception data (e.g., perception-related calculations). In order to avoid the leakage of such sensitive information, the network should select a trusted UE to participate in the perception task. On the other hand, since the UE may sometimes not intend to perform the perception task for privacy reasons, the selection of the perception transmitter / receiver also needs to obtain user consent information from the corresponding UE. However, in the related art, in the 5G system, there is no relevant mechanism to protect the perception transmitter or receiver selection process.

[1441] In order to better understand the embodiments of the present disclosure, the technical solution of the present disclosure is further described below through two exemplary embodiments:

[1442] Example 1:

[1443] It is assumed that the perception function may be GMLC, LMF or a perception-related function.

[1444] FIG8a is a flow chart of a communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG8a, the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a communication method, and the method includes:

[1445] Step S8101: Send perception request information. A third party (corresponding to the first entity in the present disclosure, for example, the perception client, UE, AF on the UE) sends perception request information to the perception function or AMF or GMLC or LMF. The perception request information may include a target perception area. The perception request information may include a candidate list of UEs identified by UE IDs, and optionally, the list may indicate the role of each UE (for example, perception sender or perception receiver). The perception function may send the candidate list of UEs to the AMF. It should be noted that step S8101 may include step S8101a-1 and step S8101a-2, or step S8101 is step S8101b.

[1446] Step S8102: Obtain a candidate list. If the sensing request includes a candidate list for the UE, S8102 can be skipped. Based on the target sensing area, the AMF can locate the cells / gNBs within the area and thus determine which UEs are within the coverage of the corresponding cells or gNBs. In this way, the AMF can collect a list of candidate UEs that can serve as sensing senders or receivers. This list contains the UE's identification information.

[1447] In some embodiments, the AMF may send the candidate list of the UE to the perception function. Step S8102 may be step S8102a, or may include steps S8102b-1 and S8102b-2 (sending the candidate list).

[1448] Step S8103: Obtain information.

[1449] In some embodiments, the information is obtained from the UDM.

[1450] In some embodiments, user consent information, subscription information, or privacy profile information is obtained from the UDM.

[1451] In some embodiments, the first information is obtained from a UDM.

[1452] In some embodiments, the AMF or the awareness function obtains user consent information, subscription information, or privacy profile information from the UDM using the candidate list of the UE. Specifically, the AMF / awareness function requests the first information or the user consent information or subscription information or privacy profile information from the UDM using the UE ID (e.g., SUPI, GPSI, SUCI) in the candidate list.

[1453] In some embodiments, the first information or the user consent information or the subscription information or the privacy profile information may indicate the authorization information related to the perception role.

[1454] In some embodiments, the first information or the user consent information or the subscription information or the privacy profile information may indicate whether a UE can assume the role of a perception sender or a perception receiver.

[1455] In some embodiments, the first information or the user consent information or the subscription information or the privacy profile information may indicate whether a UE can perform the sensing task in a specific area, for a specific area or at a specific time.

[1456] In some embodiments, the first information or the user consent information or the subscription information or the privacy profile information may indicate that a privacy check with the UE is required.

[1457] In some embodiments, the AMF or the awareness function performs a privacy check on the candidate UE that requested a privacy check in the first information or the user consent information or the subscription information or the privacy profile information.

[1458] Step S8104: Privacy check and information acquisition.

[1459] In some embodiments, the privacy check information (corresponding to the first information) or the first information may be acquired from the terminal.

[1460] In some embodiments, the sensing function or AMF may obtain only a portion of the required information for sensing transmitter selection or sensing receiver selection (e.g., subscription information, user consent information, privacy profile, or UE response to privacy check). The remaining information may be obtained in one of the following ways:

[1461] The AMF responsible for the selection of the perception sender or the perception receiver may request the remaining information required for the perception function to select the perception sender or the perception receiver (e.g., subscription information, user consent information, privacy check result, part of the first information);

[1462] The awareness function responsible for the selection of the awareness sender or awareness receiver may request the remaining information required for the selection of the awareness sender or awareness receiver from the AMF (e.g., subscription information, user consent information, privacy check results, part of the first information);

[1463] The awareness function can push the information it obtains (e.g., subscription information, user consent information, privacy check results, part of the first information) to the AMF responsible for selecting the awareness sender or awareness receiver.

[1464] The AMF may push the information it obtains (eg, subscription information, user consent information, privacy check results, part of the first information) to the perception function responsible for selecting a perception sender or a perception receiver.

[1465] Step S8105: Select a perception sender and / or perception receiver.

[1466] In some embodiments, the AMF or the awareness function selects the awareness sender or awareness receiver based on the first information, the candidate UE's subscription information, the user consent information or the role in the privacy profile, or the UE's response to the privacy check and other UE information.

[1467] In some embodiments, if the information provided by the UDM indicates that the UE is not allowed to serve the role defined in step S8101, the AMF or the perception function should terminate the procedure (positioning procedure).

[1468] In some embodiments, if the information provided by the UDM indicates that the UE is not allowed to serve the role defined in step S8101, the AMF or perception function does not select the terminal to participate in the perception or positioning task (positioning process).

[1469] In some embodiments, if the information provided by the UDM indicates that the UE does not intend or is not allowed to participate in the sensing task, the AMF or sensing function does not select the terminal to participate in the sensing or positioning task (positioning process).

[1470] In some embodiments, if the first information provided by the UE indicates that the UE is not allowed to serve the role defined in step S8101, the AMF or perception function does not select the terminal to participate in the perception or positioning task (positioning process).

[1471] In some embodiments, if the first information provided by the UE indicates that participation in the sensing task is not intended or allowed, the AMF or sensing function does not select the terminal to participate in the sensing or positioning task (positioning process).

[1472] In some embodiments, if the information provided by the UE indicates that the UE is not allowed to serve the role defined in step S8101, the AMF or perception function does not select the terminal to participate in the perception or positioning task (positioning process).

[1473] In some embodiments, if the information provided by the UE indicates that participation in the sensing task is not intended or allowed, the AMF or sensing function does not select the terminal to participate in the sensing or positioning task (positioning process).

[1474] In some embodiments, if the privacy check result provided by the UE indicates that the UE is not allowed to serve the role defined in step S8101, the AMF or perception function does not select the terminal to participate in the perception or positioning task (positioning process).

[1475] In some embodiments, if the privacy check result provided by the UE indicates that participation in the sensing task is not intended or allowed, the AMF or sensing function does not select the terminal to participate in the sensing or positioning task (positioning process).

[1476] Step S8106: Trigger the perception task.

[1477] In some embodiments, the AMF or sensing function triggers the sensing task using the selected sensing transmitter / receiver.

[1478] Step S8106 may be step S8106a or step S8106b.

[1479] It should be noted that each step can be implemented independently, or, if there is no contradiction, the order of the steps can be arbitrarily changed and they can be freely combined for implementation.

[1480] Example 2:

[1481] In some embodiments, the NF (e.g., GMLC, NEF, Awareness Function, AMF) may subscribe to UDM notifications of UE LCS privacy profile updates.

[1482] In some embodiments, when a delayed location request is in progress, the NF may determine to subscribe to such notifications.

[1483] FIG8b is a flow chart of a communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG8b, the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a communication method, and the method includes:

[1484] Step S8201: Send a terminal location privacy setting request. If the UE has generated or updated the UE location privacy indication, the UE sends the location privacy indication to the AMF via the UE location privacy setting request in the N1 non-access stratum (NAS) message. The UE location privacy indication determines whether the UE's subsequent LCS request is allowed or not, as defined in clause 5.4 of 3GPP TS 33.501. If the UE has generated or updated the event reporting expected area and optionally the area usage indication, for example based on the UE power state, the UE location privacy setting request includes the event reporting expected area and the area usage indication. The request may include user consent information / privacy profile information on whether a UE can perform a sensing task in a specific area or at a specific time. The request may also include user consent information on whether a privacy check is required. The request may also include authorization information on the sensing-related roles that the UE can assume (e.g., sensing sender, sensing receiver). The authorization information of the perception-related roles (eg, perception sender, perception receiver) that the UE can assume may include: being allowed or not allowed to act as a perception receiver, being allowed or not allowed to act as a perception sender.

[1485] Step S8202: The AMF calls the Nudm_ParameterProvision_Update (LCS Privacy) service operation to the UDM. The service operation carries location privacy indication information, information about whether the UE can perform sensing tasks in a specific area or at a specific time, information about whether privacy checks are required, authorization information about the sensing-related roles that the UE can assume (e.g., sensing sender, sensing receiver), and may include event reporting expected area and area usage indication. The UDM stores or updates the UE LCS privacy profile in the UDR by calling the Nudr_DM_Update (SUPI, Subscription Data) service operation accordingly.

[1486] Step S8203: The AMF responds to the UE with a UE Location Privacy Settings Response in an N1NAS message.

[1487] Step S8204: UDM notifies the updated UE LCS privacy profile to the subscribed network functions (e.g., GMLC, NEF, AMF, and awareness functions) via NUDM_SDM_NOTIFICTION notification message.

[1488] Step S8205: For example, if the delayed positioning procedure is cancelled, the NF (e.g., GMLC, NEF, AMF and awareness function) may unsubscribe from the UDM notification of UE LCS privacy profile update.

[1489] It should be noted that each step can be implemented independently, or, if there is no contradiction, the order of the steps can be arbitrarily changed and they can be freely combined for implementation.

[1490] The embodiments of the present disclosure further provide an apparatus for implementing any of the above methods. For example, an apparatus is provided, comprising units or modules for implementing each step performed by a terminal in any of the above methods. For another example, another apparatus is provided, comprising units or modules for implementing each step performed by a network device (e.g., an access network device, a core network function node, a core network device, etc.) in any of the above methods.

In addition, it can also be a hardware circuit designed for artificial intelligence, which can be understood as an ASIC, such as a neural network processing unit (NPU), a tensor processing unit (TPU), a deep learning processing unit (DPU), etc.
