[0699] In some embodiments, after acquiring the perception assistance information, the first network function interacts with the first terminal to acquire the first information.

[0700] In some embodiments, after obtaining the perception assistance information, the first network function determines the first terminal through the identifier of the first terminal 101 contained in the perception assistance information, and obtains the first information by performing authorization-related interaction with the first terminal.

[0701] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate authorization information related to perception.

[0702] Step S5103: The first network function 1021 processes the perception service according to the first information.

[0703] For a detailed description of steps S5101 - S5103 , please refer to the above embodiment description.

[0704] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first network function obtains the perception-related authorization information of the perception target or terminal based on the perception auxiliary data, and processes the perception service based on the perception-related authorization information and the corresponding authorization result, thereby realizing a mechanism for obtaining authorization information from the perception target and improving the processing efficiency and reliability of the perception service.

[0705] The following is an exemplary introduction to the above method.

[0706] The present disclosure is used to solve the problem of how to obtain authorization information of a perception target. The optional implementation solutions are as follows:

[0707] The present disclosure relates to a method for processing a sensing service. Taking the first network function as a Network Exposure Function (NEF) or a Sensing Function (SF) as an example, the method includes:

[0708] 1. Authorization mechanism based on perception-assisted information.

[0709] Assume that the perception function can be a location management function (LMF), a gateway mobile location center (GMLC) or a new network function dedicated to perception, as shown in Figure 6A, which is an interaction diagram of the authorization mechanism based on perception auxiliary information.

[0710] 1. A third party (e.g., a perception client on a UE, UE, or AF) sends perception assistance information to the core network via a perception request. This perception assistance information may include map information, area information, the identifier of the first terminal attached to or near the perception target (UE ID), UE location information, UE speed information, etc. AF stands for Application Function (AF).

[0711] A third party can send a perception request to NEF.

[0712] A third party may send a request to the awareness function directly or via the NEF.

[0713] 2. The NEF / sensing function uses the first terminal's identity (UE ID) in the sensing assistance information to retrieve authorization information. The UE ID can be the ID of a terminal attached to the sensing target, or it can be the ID of a terminal in the vicinity of the sensing target.

[0714] The target may be to which the UE is attached or may be near the UE, and the authorization information may include the following contents.

[0715] The sensing target or the first terminal agrees to be sensed;

[0716] The sensing target or the first terminal does not agree to be sensed;

[0717] The sensing target or the first terminal agrees to be sensed in the first area;

[0718] The sensing target or the first terminal does not agree to be sensed in the first area;

[0719] The sensing target or the first terminal agrees to be sensed in a second area, wherein the second area is at least partially different from the first area;

[0720] The sensing target or the first terminal does not agree to be sensed in the second area;

[0721] The sensing target or the first terminal agrees to be sensed under the first sensing KPI condition;

[0722] The sensing target or the first terminal does not agree to be sensed under the first sensing KPI condition;

[0723] The sensing target or the first terminal agrees to be sensed under a second sensing KPI condition, wherein the second KPI condition is at least partially different from the first KPI condition;

[0724] The sensing target or the first terminal does not agree to be sensed under the second sensing KPI condition;

[0725] The sensing target or the first terminal needs to perform sensing-related authorization through the first terminal;

[0726] The sensing target or the first terminal does not need to perform sensing-related authorization through the first terminal.

[0727] 3. If the authorization information indicates that the UE user needs to perform authorization related to perception, the NEF, perception function, GMLC, Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), and UE perform authorization interactions related to perception. Otherwise, skip step 3.

[0728] Among them, the authorization procedures related to perception are as follows:

[0729] 3a.NEF may trigger the perception-related authorization procedure between the AMF and the UE.

[0730] 3b.NEF can use the perception function to trigger the perception-related authorization process between AMF and UE.

[0731] 3c.NEF may trigger the perception-related authorization process between the perception function and the UE.

[0732] 3d. The perception function can interact directly with the UE to perform perception-related authorization.

[0733] 3e. The perception function can trigger the perception-related authorization process between the AMF and the UE.

[0734] The perception-related request authorization message sent to the UE may include perception assistance information, such as the requested perception area and perception KPI.

[0735] The authorization result can include the following:

[0736] The sensing target or the first terminal agrees to be sensed;

[0737] The sensing target or the first terminal does not agree to be sensed;

[0738] The sensing target or the first terminal agrees to be sensed in the first area;

[0739] The sensing target or the first terminal does not agree to be sensed in the first area;

[0740] The sensing target or the first terminal agrees to be sensed in a second area, wherein the second area is at least partially different from the first area;

[0741] The sensing target or the first terminal does not agree to be sensed in the second area;

The UE Location Privacy Indicator may be used to indicate whether subsequent LCS requests for the UE are permitted. If the UE has generated or updated an event reporting expected area and an optional area usage indication, the UE Location Privacy Setup Request includes the event reporting expected area and the area usage indication. The request may include authorization information.

[0757] The authorization information may include the following:

This service operation may carry location privacy indication information, authorization information, and may include the expected event reporting area and area usage indication. The UDM stores or updates the UE LCS privacy profile in the Unified Data Repository (UDR) by calling the Nudr_DM_Update (SUPI, Subscription Data) service operation. SUPI is the abbreviation for Subscription Permanent Identifier (SUPI).

[0772] 3. The AMF responds to the UE with the UE Location Privacy Settings Response in the N1NAS message.
