Description

A wireless sensing measurement method, device and electronic device Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communications, and more particularly to a wireless sensing measurement method, apparatus, and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] Electromagnetic waves emitted by a signal transmitter may form multiple propagation paths during their journey to a signal receiver due to reflection and refraction from obstacles. These multiple propagation paths result in a multipath superposition signal at the receiver. It should be understood that this multipath superposition signal carries environmental information reflecting obstacles along the propagation paths. Wireless sensing technology is a technique that uses parameters of the multipath superposition signal, such as channel status information (CSI), to sense and measure environmental information.

[0003] In wireless sensing technology, the wireless sensing initiator can act as an intermediary for nodes in the wireless network that have sensing and measurement needs to initiate the sensing process and measure the surrounding environmental information. However, when sensing resources are limited, the sensing process that the wireless sensing response end can establish is limited, making it difficult to meet new sensing and measurement needs in a timely manner, resulting in low efficiency in sensing and measurement. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a wireless sensing measurement method, apparatus, and electronic device that can improve the efficiency of sensing measurement.

[0005] Firstly, a wireless sensing measurement method is provided. This method can be executed by a sensing by proxy (SBP) response terminal or by a component of the sensing by proxy response terminal, without limitation. For ease of description, the following explanation will use execution by the sensing by proxy response terminal as an example.

[0006] The method includes: receiving a first signaling message sent by a first node. The first signaling message is used to request an agent to perform sensing measurements. Sending a second signaling message to the first node. The second signaling message includes identification information of at least one first process. The first process is an ongoing sensing process. Receiving a third signaling message sent by the first node. The third signaling message includes identification information of at least one second process, which belongs to at least one first process. Sending the sensing measurement results of at least one second process to the first node.

[0007] Based on this scheme, when the agent sensing response end receives the first signaling requesting the agent to perform sensing measurements, it can provide the ongoing sensing process for the first node to select, and return the sensing measurement results of the selected sensing process to the first node. This improves the utilization efficiency of sensing resources and facilitates timely or partial fulfillment of the first node's sensing measurement needs, thereby enhancing sensing measurement efficiency.

[0008] In some possible implementations, the first signaling includes first sensing measurement parameters. The first signaling is used to request a sensing measurement agent based on the first sensing measurement parameters.

[0009] In some possible implementations, the sensing measurement parameters of the first process overlap with the first sensing measurement parameters.

[0010] Based on this scheme, the sensing measurement parameters of the first process are at least partially the same as the first sensing measurement parameters. This can promptly and at least partially meet the sensing measurement needs of the first node, improving sensing measurement efficiency.

[0011] In some possible implementations, the first sensing measurement parameter is a subset of the sensing measurement parameters of the first process.

[0012] Based on this scheme, the sensing and measurement parameters of the first process include the first sensing and measurement parameters. This allows for timely fulfillment of the sensing and measurement needs of the first node, improving sensing and measurement efficiency.

[0013] In some possible implementations, the first signaling includes a first sensing measurement parameter. The first signaling also includes either first indication information or second indication information. When the first signaling includes the first indication information, the first signaling is used to indicate that proxy sensing is performed based on the first sensing measurement parameter. When the first signaling includes the second indication information, the first signaling is used to indicate that proxy sensing is not performed based on the first sensing measurement parameter.

[0014] Based on this scheme, the agent sensing response end can determine whether sensing measurement based on the first sensing measurement parameters is required based on the indication information (first indication information or second indication information) in the first signaling. In this way, the agent sensing response end can better perform sensing measurement according to the needs of the first node, and the sensing measurement efficiency is higher.

[0015] In some possible implementations, sending a second signaling message to the first node includes: sending a second signaling message to the first node based on second indication information.

[0016] Based on this scheme, when the first signaling includes the second indication information, it indicates that the proxy sensing initiator instructs the first node to perform sensing measurements without relying on the first sensing measurement parameters. In this way, the proxy sensing response end can provide at least one ongoing sensing process for the first node to choose from, thereby improving the utilization rate of sensing resources and thus increasing the efficiency of sensing measurements.

[0017] In some possible implementations, a second signaling message is sent to the first node, including: establishing a third process based on second indication information and second sensing measurement parameters. The second sensing measurement parameters overlap with the first sensing measurement parameters. If establishing the third process fails, the second signaling message is sent to the first node.

[0018] Based on this scheme, when the first signaling includes the second indication information, it indicates that the proxy sensing initiator instructs the first node not to perform sensing measurements based on the first sensing measurement parameters. The proxy sensing response end can first attempt to establish a sensing process that can partially meet the sensing measurement needs of the first node. If the establishment fails, it promptly provides the first node with an ongoing sensing process for selection, so that the first node can reuse the currently used sensing process. In this way, both the utilization rate of sensing resources and the efficiency of sensing measurements can be improved.

[0019] In some possible implementations, a second signaling message is sent to the first node, including: assessing whether a sensing process can be established based on the first sensing measurement parameters. If the assessment result indicates that a sensing process cannot be established, the second signaling message is sent to the first node. The second signaling message also includes a notification that the sensing process cannot be established.

[0020] Based on this scheme, when the assessment fails to establish a sensing process that meets the sensing requirements of the first node, the proxy sensing response end can promptly provide a first node selection for the ongoing sensing process. This allows the first node to reuse the currently used sensing process to meet or partially meet the sensing measurement requirements. In this way, sensing resources are not wasted in attempting to establish a sensing process, and the utilization rate of sensing resources is improved, thereby increasing the efficiency of sensing measurement.

[0021] In some possible implementations, a second signaling message is sent to the first node, including: establishing a fourth process based on the first sensing measurement parameters. The fourth process is a sensing process. If establishing the fourth process fails, the second signaling message is sent to the first node. The second signaling message also includes a notification of the failure to establish the sensing process.

[0022] Based on this scheme, the proxy sensing response end can first attempt to establish a sensing process (i.e., the fourth process) that can meet the sensing needs of the first node. If the establishment fails, it can promptly provide the ongoing sensing process for the first node to choose from, so that the first node can reuse the currently used sensing process to meet or partially meet the sensing measurement needs. In this way, both the utilization rate of sensing resources and the efficiency of sensing measurement can be improved.

[0023] In some possible implementations, after receiving the third signaling sent by the first node, the method further includes: establishing a fifth process based on the sensing measurement parameters of at least one second process and the first sensing measurement parameters. The fifth process is a sensing process. The sensing measurement parameters of the fifth process are a subset of the first sensing measurement parameters, and the sensing measurement parameters of the fifth process are not a subset of the sensing measurement parameters of at least one second process. The sensing measurement results of the fifth process are sent to the first node.

[0024] Based on this scheme, the proxy sensing response end can reuse the currently used sensing process to meet or partially meet the sensing and measurement needs of the first node, and establish a new sensing process (i.e., the fifth process) based on the sensing and measurement needs that cannot be met. In this way, it can respond to the first node in a timely manner when sensing resources are scarce, and improve the utilization rate of sensing resources, thereby improving the efficiency of sensing and measurement.

[0025] In some possible implementations, the first signaling includes a response endpoint parameter. This first signaling is used to request proxy awareness via the response endpoint indicated by the response endpoint parameter. The response endpoint of the first process overlaps with the response endpoint indicated by the response endpoint parameter.

[0026] Based on this scheme, the response end of the first process can at least partially include the response end required by the first node. In this way, it can be ensured that the first process provided by the proxy sensing response end can at least partially meet the first node's requirements for the sensing measurement response end, which facilitates further selection by the first node.

[0027] In some possible implementations, the response end of the first process includes the response end indicated by the response end parameter.

[0028] Based on this scheme, the response end of the first process can include the response end required by the first node. This ensures that the first process provided by the proxy sensing response end can meet the first node's requirements for the sensing measurement response end, facilitating further selection by the first node.

[0029] In some possible implementations, the first signaling includes start and end time parameters. The first signaling is also used to request sensing measurements from an agent based on the start and stop times indicated by the start and end time parameters. After receiving the third signaling sent by the first node, the method further includes updating the start and end time parameters of the second process to those in the first signaling.

[0030] Based on this scheme, the agent sensing response end can update the start and end time parameters of the process selected by the first node (i.e., the second process) to the start and end times required by the first node. In this way, the sensing measurement results of the second process can better match the sensing measurement requirements of the first node, thereby improving the sensing measurement efficiency.

[0031] In some possible implementations, the sensing measurement parameters include any one or more of the following: bandwidth parameter, sampling rate parameter, and start and end time parameter.

[0032] Secondly, a wireless sensing measurement method is provided. This method can be executed by a proxy sensing initiator or by a component of the proxy sensing initiator, without limitation. For ease of description, the following explanation will use execution by the proxy sensing initiator as an example.

[0033] The method includes: sending a first signaling message to a second node. The first signaling message is used to request an agent to perform sensing measurements. Receiving a second signaling message sent by the second node. The second signaling message includes identification information of at least one first process. The first process is an ongoing sensing process. Sending a third signaling message to the second node based on the second signaling message. The third signaling message includes identification information of at least one second process. The second process belongs to at least one first process. Receiving the sensing measurement results of at least one second process sent by the second node.

[0034] Based on this scheme, when the first node receives at least one first process provided by the agent sensing response end, it can reuse at least one second process therein for sensing measurement. This improves the utilization efficiency of sensing resources and facilitates timely or partial fulfillment of its own sensing measurement needs, thereby enhancing sensing measurement efficiency.

[0035] In some possible implementations, the first signaling includes first sensing measurement parameters. The first signaling is used to request a sensing measurement agent based on the first sensing measurement parameters. The second signaling also includes sensing measurement parameters for each first process. A third signaling is sent to the second node based on the second signaling, including: determining at least one second process based on the first sensing measurement parameters and the sensing measurement parameters of each first process. The first sensing measurement parameters and the sensing measurement parameters of the second processes have an intersection. The third signaling is then sent to the second node.

[0036] Based on this scheme, the second process can at least partially meet the sensing and measurement needs of the first node. This improves the utilization efficiency of sensing resources and the efficiency of sensing and measurement.

[0037] In some possible implementations, the first sensing measurement parameters are a subset of the sensing measurement parameters of the second process.

[0038] Based on this scheme, the first node can meet its own sensing and measurement needs by reusing the second process. This improves the utilization efficiency of sensing resources and the efficiency of sensing and measurement.

[0039] In some possible implementations, the first signaling includes a first sensing measurement parameter. The first signaling also includes either first indication information or second indication information. When the first signaling includes the first indication information, the first signaling is used to indicate that proxy sensing is performed based on the first sensing measurement parameter. When the first signaling includes the second indication information, the first signaling is used to indicate that proxy sensing is not performed based on the first sensing measurement parameter.

[0040] Based on this scheme, the first node can set the indication information (first indication information or second indication information) in the first signaling according to actual needs, to indicate whether the agent perception response end needs to perform perception measurement based on the first perception measurement parameters. In this way, the first node can better convey the perception measurement requirements to the agent perception response end, and the perception measurement efficiency is higher.

[0041] In some possible implementations, the sensing measurement parameters include any one or more of the following: bandwidth parameter, sampling rate parameter, and start and end time parameter.

[0042] Thirdly, a wireless sensing measurement method is provided. This method can be executed by a proxy sensing response terminal or by a component of the proxy sensing response terminal, without limitation. For ease of description, the following explanation will use execution by the proxy sensing response terminal as an example.

[0043] The method includes: receiving a first signaling message sent by a first node. The first signaling message includes first sensing measurement parameters; the first signaling message is used to request an agent to perform sensing measurements based on the first sensing measurement parameters. Updating a first process based on the first sensing measurement parameters to obtain a second process. The first process is an ongoing sensing process. Sending the sensing measurement results of the second process to the first node.

[0044] Based on this scheme, when the proxy sensing response terminal receives the first signaling request from the first node to perform sensing measurements, it can update the ongoing sensing process based on the first node's sensing measurement requirements (i.e., the first sensing measurement parameters) to promptly meet or partially meet the first node's sensing measurement requirements. This improves the utilization efficiency of sensing resources and the efficiency of sensing measurements.

[0045] In some possible implementations, the first sensing measurement parameters and the sensing measurement parameters of the first process are both subsets of the sensing measurement parameters of the second process.

[0046] Based on this scheme, the second process can satisfy both the original sensing and measurement requirements and the sensing and measurement requirements of the first node, while requiring fewer sensing resources, which is conducive to improving the utilization rate of sensing resources and the efficiency of sensing and measurement.

[0047] In some possible implementations, updating the first process based on the first sensing measurement parameters to obtain the second process includes: modifying the sensing measurement parameters of the first process based on the first sensing measurement parameters to obtain the second process.

[0048] Based on this solution, updating the first process will not affect the normal operation of existing services and will help improve the efficiency of perception measurement.

[0049] In some possible implementations, updating the first process based on the first sensing measurement parameters to obtain the second process includes: reconstructing the first process based on the first sensing measurement parameters to obtain the second process.

[0050] Based on this scheme, the second process obtained by reconstructing the first process can better meet the sensing and measurement needs of the first node, and the sensing and measurement efficiency is high.

[0051] In some possible implementations, the sensing measurement parameters include any one or more of the following: bandwidth parameter, sampling rate parameter, and start and end time parameter.

[0052] In some possible implementations, after updating the first process and obtaining the second process, the method further includes sending a fourth signaling message to the first node. The fourth signaling message is used to indicate that the update was successful.

[0053] Based on this scheme, the first node can promptly receive a message that the perception process has been successfully updated.

[0054] Fourthly, a wireless sensing measurement method is provided. This method can be executed by a proxy sensing response terminal or by a component of the proxy sensing response terminal, without limitation. For ease of description, the following explanation will use execution by the proxy sensing response terminal as an example.

[0055] The method includes: receiving a first signaling message sent by a first node. The first signaling message is used to request an agent to perform sensing measurements. Sending a second signaling message to the first node, the second signaling message including identification information of at least one first process. The first process is an ongoing sensing process. Receiving a fifth signaling message sent by the first node. The fifth signaling message indicates that the sensing process is not used. Processing the sensing process based on the fifth signaling message.

[0056] Based on this scheme, the first node can choose not to use the sensing process provided by the proxy sensing response end when the sensing measurement requirements cannot be met. In this way, the first node can flexibly choose not to use the first process provided by the proxy sensing response end, thereby facilitating the timely termination or adjustment of the proxy sensing process.

[0057] Fifthly, a wireless sensing and measurement device is provided, including a transceiver unit. The transceiver unit is configured to receive a first signaling sent by a first node. The first signaling is used to request an agent to perform sensing and measurement. The transceiver unit is also configured to send a second signaling to the first node. The second signaling includes identification information of at least one first process. The first process is an ongoing sensing process. The transceiver unit is also configured to receive a third signaling sent by the first node. The third signaling includes identification information of at least one second process, which belongs to at least one first process. The transceiver unit is also configured to send the sensing and measurement results of at least one second process to the first node.

The processing unit is used to update the first process to obtain a second process. The transceiver unit is also used to send the sensing and measurement results of the second process to the first node.

The first process is an ongoing sensing process. The transceiver unit is also configured to receive a fifth signaling transmitted by the first node. The fifth signaling indicates that no action is taken. The processing unit is configured to process the sensing process based on the fifth signaling.

The processor is configured to perform a method according to any implementation of the first aspect, or a method configured to any implementation of the second aspect, or a method configured to any implementation of the third aspect, or a method configured to any implementation of the fourth aspect.

[0075] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solutions in this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0076] In this document, the term "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Here, A and B can be single or multiple. "At least one of the following" or similar expressions are used to represent any combination of the listed items. For example, at least one of A, B, and / or C can represent: A existing alone, B existing alone, C existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, B and C existing simultaneously, A and C existing simultaneously, and A, B, and C existing simultaneously. Here, A, B, and C can be single or multiple.

[0077] The terms "first" and "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order of objects. For example, "first target object" and "second target object," etc., are used to distinguish different target objects, not to describe a specific order of target objects.

[0078] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate that something is an example, illustration, or description. Any embodiment or design that is described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design. Specifically, the use of the terms "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0079] In the description of the embodiments in this application, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more. For example, multiple processing units means two or more processing units; multiple systems means two or more systems.

[0080] To facilitate understanding, the background of the embodiments of this application will be explained below.

[0081] Wireless sensing technology is a technique that uses existing wireless signals in the environment to sense and measure information about the surrounding environment. This environmental information can refer to the characteristics of obstacles along the propagation path of the wireless signal, such as their position, shape, and orientation. Wireless sensing technology can measure and sense information about the surrounding environment without relying on sensors deployed in the environment, thus it has lower implementation costs and wider applicability.

[0082] Wireless sensing services based on wireless sensing technology perceive information about the surrounding environment through a sensing process. In the embodiments of this application, the sensing process can also be referred to as a sensing measurement process, a sensing process, or a sensing measurement process, etc. The node that initiates the sensing process can be called the sensing process initiator, and the node that responds to the sensing process can be called the sensing process responder.

[0083] It should be noted that the initiator of one sensing process can be either the responder or the initiator of another sensing process. Similarly, the responder of one sensing process can also be either the responder or the initiator of another sensing process. Within the same sensing process, one or more responders may participate. This application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0084] The sensing process initiator can initiate the sensing process itself or act as a proxy for other nodes to initiate the sensing process. The process in which the sensing process initiator acts as a proxy for other nodes to initiate the sensing process is called sensing by proxy (SBP), or a proxy sensing process.

[0085] In the proxy sensing process, the node that requests other nodes to perform sensing measurements on its behalf is called the SBP initiator or proxy sensing initiator, while the node that proxies other nodes to perform sensing measurements can be called the SBP responder or proxy sensing responder. Here, performing sensing measurements can refer to sensing information about the surrounding environment through the sensing process.

[0086] The following example further illustrates the roles of the SBP initiator, SBP responder, sensing process initiator, and sensing process responder. For instance, node A sends a proxy sensing request to node B, requesting node B to perform sensing measurements on behalf of node A. Node B initiates a sensing process based on the proxy sensing request sent by node A, and node C responds to this sensing process initiated by node B. In this process, node A is the SBP initiator. Node B is both the SBP responder and the sensing process initiator. Node C is the sensing process responder.

[0087] Based on the above description and examples, it should be understood that the SBP response end can be the initiator of the sensing process in the sensing process, while the SBP initiator can either be the response end of the sensing process in the sensing process or not participate in the sensing process. This application does not limit this.

[0088] Through the proxy sensing process, the SBP initiator can request other nodes to initiate the sensing process on its behalf to achieve the sensing and measurement of environmental information, which has wide applicability. The specific process of the proxy sensing process is illustrated below with Figure 1. It should be understood that the following process is one possible implementation of the proxy sensing process and does not represent that this application is limited to this.

[0089] Step 1: The SBP initiator sends an SBP request frame to the SBP responder.

[0090] The SBP request frame can be used to request the SBP responder to initiate a sensing process on behalf of the SBP initiator. The SBP request frame can also indicate the sensing measurement requirements of the SBP initiator. For example, the SBP request frame may include sensing measurement parameters (SBP Parameters). The sensing measurement parameters in the SBP request frame indicate the sensing measurement parameter requirements of the SBP initiator for the sensing process.

[0091] In the embodiments of this application, the sensing measurement parameters may also refer to the sensing measurement parameters of the sensing process, that is, the parameters in the actual sensing of surrounding environmental information. For ease of distinction, the sensing measurement parameters in the SBP request frame can be referred to as the first sensing measurement parameters.

[0092] For example, the sensing measurement parameters may include one or more of the following: bandwidth parameters, sampling rate parameters, start and end time parameters, feedback method parameters, response end parameters, sensing measurement signal parameters, transmitting antenna parameters, and receiving antenna parameters.

[0093] Bandwidth parameters can be used to indicate the bandwidth used by the sensing process. For example, a bandwidth parameter of 20MHz in the first sensing measurement parameter indicates that the SBP initiator requires the sensing process to occupy at least 20MHz of bandwidth.

[0094] The sampling rate parameter can be used to indicate the sampling rate used in the sensing process. For example, a sampling rate of 50 Hz in the first sensing measurement parameter indicates that the SBP initiator requires the sensing process to use a sampling rate of at least 50 Hz.

[0095] The start and end time parameters are used to indicate the start and stop times of the sensing process. For example, the start and end time parameters in the first sensing measurement parameters are from time M to time N, indicating that the SBP initiator requires the sensing process to start earlier than time M and stop later than time N.

[0096] The feedback method parameter indicates the method of feeding back the sensing measurement results. For example, a feedback method parameter of multiple segmented feedback of sensing measurement results instructs the SBP initiator to request the SBP responder to feed back the sensing measurement results in multiple segments. In some possible implementations, the feedback method parameter may include one or more of the following: multiple segmented feedback of sensing measurement results, one-time overall feedback of sensing measurement results, feedback of sensing measurement results as raw data, feedback of sensing measurement results as channel state information, etc.

[0097] The response end parameters are used to indicate the sensing process response ends participating in the sensing process. For example, the response end parameters in the first sensing measurement parameters are node A and node B, indicating that the SBP initiator requires the sensing process response ends to include at least node A and node B.

[0098] Additionally, the sensing measurement signal parameters indicate the parameters of the sensing measurement signal used for sensing measurements. The transmitting antenna parameters indicate the parameters of the transmitting antenna used to transmit the sensing measurement signal during the sensing process. The receiving antenna parameters indicate the parameters of the transmitting antenna used to receive the sensing measurement signal during the sensing process.

[0099] It should be understood that the examples of sensing measurement parameters above are illustrative and can include more or fewer parameters than those in the examples above. This application does not make any specific limitation in this regard.

[0100] Step 2: The SBP responder returns a proxy sensing response to the SBP initiator based on the sensing resources and the sensing measurement parameters in the SBP request frame.

[0101] Sensing resources can be used to indicate resources used for sensing measurements, such as bandwidth resources, site resources, and time-domain resources. Bandwidth resources refer to the bandwidth that the SBP responder can provide to the SBP initiator for sensing measurements. Site resources refer to sites that are communicatively connected to the SBP responder and can act as responders in the sensing process. Time-domain resources refer to the time that the SBP responder can provide to the SBP initiator for sensing measurements.

[0102] The proxy-aware response may include a response identifier, which indicates whether the SBP responder agrees to the request of the SBP request frame. For example, the response identifier may have two states: State 1 and State 2. State 1 indicates that the SBP responder agrees to the request of the SBP request frame, while State 2 indicates that the SBP responder disagrees with the request of the SBP request frame. Optionally, State 1 can be the number 1, and State 2 can be the number 0. As another example, the response identifier may be divided into a first response identifier and a second response identifier. The first response identifier may indicate that the SBP responder agrees to the request of the SBP request frame, and the second response identifier may indicate that the SBP responder disagrees with the request of the SBP request frame. The first response identifier may also refer to the response identifier of State 1, and the second response identifier may refer to the response identifier of State 2. It should be understood that the above examples are merely illustrative, and the response identifier may also indicate whether the SBP responder agrees to the request of the SBP request frame in other ways; this embodiment does not limit this.

[0103] In some possible implementations, after receiving an SBP request frame, the SBP responder can determine whether the sensing resources can meet the requirements of the first sensing measurement parameters. For example, whether the bandwidth resources can meet the bandwidth parameter requirements of the first sensing measurement parameters, and whether the site resources can meet the response end parameters requirements of the first sensing measurement parameters. The SBP responder can return a proxy sensing response based on the determination result. For example, if the SBP responder determines that the sensing resources can meet the requirements of the first sensing measurement parameters, the returned proxy sensing response may include the response identifier of state 1 or the first response identifier. If the SBP responder determines that the sensing resources cannot meet the requirements of the SBP request frame for the sensing measurement parameters, the returned proxy sensing response may include the response identifier of state 2 or the second response identifier.

[0104] The proxy awareness process ends when the SBP responder disagrees with the SBP request frame's request. The following section details the scenarios where the SBP responder agrees with the SBP request frame's request.

[0105] Step 3: The SBP response end checks whether there is a sensing process that meets the sensing measurement parameter requirements in the SBP request frame during the ongoing sensing process. If it exists, proceed to step 4a; otherwise, proceed to step 4b.

[0106] In this embodiment, the sensing process meeting the sensing measurement parameter requirements in the SBP request frame means that the sensing measurement parameters of the sensing process can cover the sensing measurement parameters in the SBP request frame. Alternatively, the sensing measurement parameters in the SBP request frame are a subset of the sensing measurement parameters of the sensing process. For example, if the bandwidth in the SBP request frame is 10MHz, a bandwidth greater than or equal to 10MHz in the sensing process is sufficient. If the sampling rate in the SBP request frame is 50Hz, a sampling rate greater than or equal to 50Hz in the sensing process is sufficient. If the start and end times in the SBP request frame are from the 5th to the 10th second, the start and end times of the sensing process should cover from the 5th to the 10th second; that is, the start time should be earlier than or equal to the 5th second, and the stop time should be later than or equal to the 10th second.

[0107] It should be noted that the sensing process that meets the sensing measurement parameter requirements in the SBP request frame may not exist, may exist as one, or may exist as multiple; this application does not limit this.

[0108] Step 4a will be described below. For ease of explanation, the sensing process that meets the sensing measurement parameter requirements in the SBP request frame during the ongoing sensing process will be referred to as the target process.

[0109] Step 4a: The SBP response end sends the sensing measurement results of the target process to the SBP initiator end.

[0110] In some possible implementations, when the SBP responder agrees to the request in the SBP request frame, a proxy-aware process identifier (SBP session ID, SBPS ID) can be generated. This proxy-aware process identifier is used to identify the proxy-aware process initiated by the SBP initiator.

[0111] After detecting the target process, the SBP response end can store the identifier of the aforementioned proxy sensing process and the identifier of the proxy sensing initiator into the target process's association information. This association information indicates information associated with the target process, such as the target process's sensing initiator, sensing process response end, and sensing measurement parameters. Thus, when the target process outputs sensing measurement results, the SBP response end can send these results to the SBP initiator associated with the proxy sensing process based on the target process's association information.

[0112] The following describes step 4b and its subsequent steps.

[0113] Step 4b: The SBP response end establishes one or more sensing processes based on the sensing measurement parameters in the SBP request frame. Then proceed to step 5b.

[0114] When an SBP request frame indicates the establishment of a sensing process, the SBP responder can establish one sensing process. When an SBP request frame indicates the establishment of multiple sensing processes, the SBP responder can establish multiple sensing processes. For example, when the SBP request frame includes a set of sensing measurement parameters, the SBP responder can establish one sensing process based on that set of sensing measurement parameters. When the SBP request frame includes multiple sets of sensing measurement parameters, the SBP responder can establish multiple sensing processes based on those multiple sets of sensing measurement parameters.

[0115] The sensing measurement parameters of the one or more sensing processes meet the sensing measurement parameter requirements in the SBP request frame.

[0116] After establishing one or more sensing processes, the SBP response end can store the identifier of the proxy sensing process in the association information of one or more sensing processes. For details, please refer to the explanation in step 4a above, which will not be repeated here.

[0117] Step 5b: The SBP response end sends the sensing measurement results of the first or more sensing processes to the SBP initiator.

[0118] Optionally, the SBP responder can send the sensing measurement results to the SBP initiator based on the association information of one or more sensing processes. In this way, the proxy sensing process can be completed.

[0119] However, due to limitations in sensing resources, the number of sensing processes that the SBP response end can establish is limited. When there are many established sensing processes, the SBP response end may be slow to respond to new sensing measurement requests, or even unable to respond to new sensing measurement requests, thus affecting the efficiency of wireless sensing services.

[0120] To address the aforementioned issues, embodiments of this application provide a wireless sensing measurement method, apparatus, and electronic device, which can improve the response speed of the SBP response end to requests for establishing a sensing process, improve the utilization efficiency of sensing resources, and thereby improve the efficiency of sensing measurement.

[0130] In this embodiment, the wireless access point can act as an SBP initiator, an SBP responder, a sensing process initiator, or a sensing process responder. Similarly, a site can act as an SBP initiator, an SBP responder, a sensing process initiator, or a sensing process responder. This embodiment does not limit the specific actions taken in this regard.

[0131] It should be understood that Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a wireless network system in an embodiment of this application. The wireless sensing measurement method provided in this application embodiment may also involve nodes not shown in the wireless network system shown in Figure 2. The wireless network system in this application embodiment may also include more nodes, such as wireless relay devices and wireless backhaul devices. The embodiments of this application do not limit the number of wireless access points and stations in the wireless network system.

[0132] The application background, the technical problems to be solved, and the wireless network system of the embodiments of this application have been described above. Based on the above description, the wireless sensing measurement method provided by the embodiments of this application will be introduced below.

[0133] It should be noted that the embodiments of this application can be used as a supplement to the method shown in Figure 1, or can be implemented independently, and are not limited here.

[0134] Please refer to Figure 3, which is a flowchart illustrating a wireless sensing measurement method provided in an embodiment of this application. This method is executed by a sensing process initiator (hereinafter referred to as the second node), such as a wireless access point (AP). It should be understood that the sensing process initiator can also act as an SBP responder, which will not be elaborated here. The method includes the following steps S301 to S304.

[0135] S301, Receive the first signaling sent by the first node.

[0136] The first signaling frame, also known as the Proxy Perception Request or SBP Request frame, can be used to request a proxy to perform perception measurements. Specifically, requesting a proxy to perform perception measurements can mean requesting a second node to perform perception measurements on behalf of the first node. For example, requesting the second node to initiate a perception process on behalf of the first node to perform perception measurements. Another example is requesting the second node to perform perception measurements on behalf of the first node through an ongoing perception process.

[0137] The first node can be either the first node to send the first signaling or a node that forwards the first signaling. The first signaling can be used to request the second node to act as an intermediary for the first node that sent the first signaling to perform sensing measurements. In other words, the first node can be the SBP initiator or a signaling relay node between the SBP initiator and the second node (i.e., the SBP response end, the sensing process initiator).

[0138] For example, if the first node is the first node to send the first signaling, then the first signaling can be used to request the second node to act as the agent for the first node in performing sensing measurements. As another example, if node X is the first node to send the first signaling, and the first node forwards the first signaling to the second node, then the first signaling can be used to request the second node to act as the agent for node X in performing sensing measurements.

[0139] For ease of explanation, the following embodiments will use the first node as an example, referring to the first node that sends the first signaling. Furthermore, the description of the SBP request frame and the sensing process can be found in the foregoing embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0140] S302, Send the second signaling to the first node.

[0141] The second signaling includes identification information for at least one first process. The first process can refer to a sensing process initiated by the second node and currently in progress. The second signaling may include a proxy sensing response returned by the second node to the first node, or it may be included within the proxy sensing response returned by the second node to the first node, or it may be independent of the proxy sensing response returned by the second node to the first node. Furthermore, the ongoing sensing process may also include a sensing process about to be established, a sensing process currently being established, etc. This application does not limit this aspect.

[0142] In some possible implementations, the second node can configure identification information for the sensing process to indicate the sensing process when the sensing process is successfully established.

[0143] In other possible implementations, the second node may also configure index values ​​for each ongoing sensing process as identification information. For example, upon receiving the first signaling, the second node can configure index values ​​for each ongoing sensing process as identification information. For instance, the ongoing sensing processes include sensing process p1, sensing process p2, and sensing process p3. Upon receiving the first signaling, the second node can configure index value s1 for sensing process p1, index value s2 for sensing process p2, and index value s3 for sensing process p3. Here, s1, s2, and s3 can be numbers, characters, strings, or any combination of two or more of these, without limitation.

[0144] In some possible implementations, after receiving the first signaling sent by the first node, the second node can select at least one first process in the ongoing sensing process, generate a second signaling based on the identification information of the at least one first process, and return the second signaling to the first node.

[0145] In some other possible implementations, after receiving the first signaling, the second node can first assess whether the request of the first signaling can be satisfied. If the assessment result is no, it sends a second signaling to the first node.

[0146] For example, the first signaling is used to request the second node to act as an agent for the first node to initiate a sensing process for sensing measurement. After receiving the first signaling, the second node can assess whether a sensing process can be established. For example, the second node can assess whether sensing resources, such as bandwidth resources, site resources, and time domain resources, support the establishment of a new sensing process. As another example, when the first signaling includes first sensing measurement parameters, the second node can assess whether the sensing resources can meet the requirements of the first sensing measurement parameters. For explanations regarding sensing resources, the first sensing measurement parameters, and the assessment of whether sensing resources can meet the first sensing measurement parameters, please refer to the descriptions of steps 1-3 in the aforementioned embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0147] When the evaluation result indicates that the sensing process can be established, the second node can establish a sensing process to perform sensing measurements on behalf of the first node. For example, if the first signaling includes first sensing measurement parameters, and the second node's evaluation result indicates that the sensing process can be established, the second node can establish a sensing process based on the first sensing measurement parameters. In the embodiments of this application, "based on the first sensing measurement parameters" can be understood as "on the basis of meeting the requirements of the first sensing measurement parameters," or in other words, "on the basis of at least meeting the requirements of the first sensing measurement parameters," which will not be elaborated further in subsequent embodiments.

[0148] If the evaluation result indicates that the sensing process cannot be established, the second node may send a second signaling message to the first node. The second signaling message may also include a notification that the sensing process cannot be established, such as a response identifier or a second response identifier as described in the previous embodiments for state 2.

[0149] In some other possible implementations, the second node can establish a sensing process after receiving the first signaling, before sending the second signaling to the first node. If the sensing process fails to establish, the second signaling is sent to the first node.

[0150] For example, the first signaling is used to request the second node to initiate a sensing process on behalf of the first node to perform sensing measurements. After receiving the first signaling, the second node can establish a fourth process. For example, when the first signaling includes a first sensing measurement parameter, the second node can establish a fourth process based on the first sensing measurement parameter. Regarding sensing resources, the description of the first sensing measurement parameter can be found in steps 1-3 of the aforementioned embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0151] Upon successful establishment of the fourth process, the second node can act as an agent for the first node to perform sensing measurements through this fourth process.

[0152] If the establishment of the fourth process fails, the second node can send a second signaling message to the first node. The second signaling message may also include a notification that the establishment of the sensing process has failed.

[0153] It should be understood that the above is an illustrative description and does not imply that this application is limited thereto. For example, the first signaling can also be used to request the second node to act on behalf of the first node to perform sensing measurements through an ongoing sensing process. Thus, after receiving the first signaling from the first node, the second node can select at least one first process within the ongoing sensing process, generate a second signaling based on the identification information of the at least one first process, and return the second signaling to the first node. The second signaling may also include information instructing the second node to agree to the first signaling.

[0154] In some possible implementations, the first signaling may include a first sensing measurement parameter and a first indication information; alternatively, the first signaling may include a first sensing measurement parameter and a second indication information. The first indication information can be used to instruct the second node to perform proxy sensing based on the first sensing measurement parameter. The second indication information can be used to instruct the second node not to perform proxy sensing based on the first sensing measurement parameter.

[0155] It should be noted that the first indication information and the second indication information can be two different parameters, or different values ​​or states of the same parameter. For example, the first signaling may include a Min-Requirement parameter. When the Min-Requirement parameter takes a first value, it serves as the first indication information; when the Min-Requirement parameter takes a second value, it serves as the second indication information. The first value and the second value are different. For example, the first value can be 1, and the second value can be 0.

[0156] In addition, instructing the second node not to perform proxy sensing based on the first sensing measurement parameters can be understood as instructing the second node not to strictly follow the requirements of the first sensing measurement parameters for proxy sensing, or instructing the second node to perform proxy sensing with the first sensing measurement parameters as a reference.

[0157] Instructing the second node to perform proxy sensing based on the first sensing measurement parameters can be understood as instructing the second node to perform sensing measurements according to the requirements of the first sensing measurement parameters, or in other words, instructing the second node to perform sensing measurements on the basis of being able to meet the requirements of the first sensing measurement parameters.

[0158] For example, when the second node receives a first signaling message containing first indication information, it can assess whether the request of the first signaling message can be satisfied. If the assessment result indicates that the request can be satisfied, a sensing process is established based on the first sensing measurement parameters; if the assessment result indicates that the request cannot be satisfied, a second signaling message is sent to the first node. Alternatively, when the second node receives a first signaling message containing first indication information, it can establish a sensing process based on the first sensing measurement parameters; if establishing the sensing process fails, a second signaling message is sent to the first node. For details, please refer to the description of the foregoing embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0159] In other examples, upon receiving a first signaling message containing second indication information, the second node can send a second signaling message to the first node. For instance, upon receiving a first signaling message containing second indication information, the second node can select at least one first process during the ongoing sensing process, generate a second signaling message based on the identification information of the at least one first process, and return the second signaling message to the first node.

[0160] In other examples, when the second node receives a first signaling message containing second indication information, it can establish a third process based on the second sensing measurement parameters. If establishing the third process fails, it sends a second signaling message to the first node. The second sensing measurement parameters overlap with the first sensing measurement parameters.

[0161] In other words, when the second node receives the first signaling containing the second indication information, it can establish a third process where the sensing measurement parameters intersect with the first sensing measurement parameters. Thus, if the establishment is successful, the second node can at least partially satisfy the sensing measurement needs of the first node through this third process. If the establishment fails, the second node can send a second signaling to the first node to reuse the ongoing sensing process for sensing measurement, thereby improving the utilization rate of sensing resources and the efficiency of sensing measurement.

[0162] The above provides some possible implementations of the second node sending the second signaling to the first node. The process of the second node determining the second signaling is described below.

[0163] In this embodiment, the number of identification information included in the second signaling, i.e., the number of first processes indicated by the second signaling, can be a value pre-configured by the second node, a value configured by the second node upon receiving user input, or a value configured by the second node based on the expected configuration information sent by the first node. The expected configuration information can be included in the first signaling sent by the first node to the second node, or it can be independent of the first signaling. The expected configuration information can be used to indicate the number of sensing processes the first node expects the second node to return. For example, if the expected configuration information indicates that the first node expects the second node to return 3 sensing processes, then the second signaling can include identification information for 3 first processes.

[0164] The first process indicated by each identification information in the second signaling can be randomly selected by the second node during the ongoing sensing process, or it can be selected by the second node based on pre-set rules during the ongoing sensing process, or it can be determined by the second node receiving user input. For example, the pre-set rules may include one or more of the following: preferentially selecting sensing processes with more sensing measurement response terminals, and preferentially selecting sensing processes with longer durations.

[0165] In this embodiment, the first signaling may include first sensing measurement parameters. The first signaling is used to request the second node to perform sensing measurements based on the first sensing measurement parameters. The second node can determine the first process based on the first sensing measurement parameters and the sensing measurement parameters of the ongoing sensing process. Some possible implementations for determining the first process are provided below.

[0166] Please refer to Figure 4, which is a schematic diagram of another wireless network system provided in an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 4, the wireless network system includes a first node 401, a second node 402, a third node 403, a fourth node 404, and a fifth node 405. The second node 402 is wirelessly connected to the first node 401, the third node 403, the fourth node 404, and the fifth node 405. The ongoing sensing process includes sensing process A and sensing process B. Sensing process A is initiated by the second node 402, and the third node 403 is the responding node. Sensing process B is initiated by the second node 402, and the fourth node 404 and the fifth node 405 are the responding nodes. The sensing measurement parameters for both sensing processes A and B include bandwidth parameters, sampling rate parameters, and start and end time parameters. The bandwidth parameter for sensing process A is 50MHz, the sampling rate parameter is 25Hz, and the start and end time parameters are from the 1st to the 10th second after a preset time (referred to as the preset time). The bandwidth parameter of sensing process B is 100MHz, the sampling rate parameter is 30Hz, and the start and end time parameters are from the 8th to the 20th second after a preset time. The first node 401 is the SBP initiator, and the second node 402 is the SBP responder. The first node 401 sends a first signaling message to the second node 402. This first signaling message includes the first sensing measurement parameters.

[0167] For ease of understanding, the implementation of determining the first process will be illustrated below using the wireless network system shown in Figure 4 as an example.

[0168] In some possible implementations, during the ongoing sensing process, the second node can select a sensing process whose sensing measurement parameters intersect with those of the first node as the first process. In this way, the first process selected by the second node can promptly and at least partially meet the sensing measurement needs of the first node, which is beneficial for improving sensing measurement efficiency.

[0169] The intersection relationship of the sensing measurement parameters in the embodiments of this application is explained here. In the embodiments of this application, the intersection of sensing measurement parameters can refer to the overlap between parameters included in multiple sets of sensing measurement parameters.

[0170] For example, multiple sets of sensing measurement parameters include a first set of sensing measurement parameters and a second set of sensing measurement parameters. The first set of sensing measurement parameters includes a first parameter and a second parameter, and the second set of sensing measurement parameters includes a first parameter and a third parameter. It can be seen that both the first and second sets of sensing measurement parameters include the first parameter, meaning they overlap (the first parameter). As another example, the first set of sensing measurement parameters includes both the first and second parameters, and the second set includes a third parameter and a fourth parameter. In this case, the first, second, third, and fourth parameters are all different. It can be seen that the first and second sets of sensing measurement parameters do not overlap.

[0171] For explanations of the first parameter, second parameter, third parameter, fourth parameter, first group of sensing measurement parameters, and second group of sensing measurement parameters, please refer to the previous explanations, which will not be repeated here.

[0172] For example, the first sensing measurement parameters include bandwidth parameters, sampling rate parameters, start and end time parameters, and response end parameters. It can be seen that the sensing measurement parameters of sensing process A and sensing process B overlap with the first sensing measurement parameters (bandwidth parameters, sampling rate parameters, and start and end time parameters). The second node can select sensing process A and sensing process B as the first process. That is, the second signaling sent by the second node 402 to the first node 401 may include the identification information of sensing process A and the identification information of sensing process B.

[0173] In the embodiments of this application, the intersection of sensing measurement parameters can also be understood as the intersection of the values ​​of the parameters included in the sensing measurement parameters.

[0174] For example, the first sensing measurement parameter includes a start and end time parameter, the value of which is from the 11th to the 25th second after a preset time. It can be seen that the values ​​of the start and end time parameters of sensing process A do not overlap with the values ​​of the start and end time parameters in the first sensing measurement parameter, while the values ​​of the start and end time parameters of sensing process B overlap with the values ​​of the start and end time parameters in the first sensing measurement parameter (from the 11th to the 20th second after the preset time). Therefore, the second node can select sensing process B as the first process. That is, the second signaling sent by the second node 402 to the first node 401 may include the identification information of sensing process B.

[0175] In some other possible implementations, during the ongoing sensing and measurement process, the second node can select a sensing process whose sensing and measurement parameters include the first sensing and measurement parameters as the first process. In this way, the first process selected by the second node can promptly meet the sensing and measurement needs of the first node, which is beneficial for improving the efficiency of sensing and measurement.

[0176] The inclusion relationship of the sensing measurement parameters in the embodiments of this application is explained here. In the embodiments of this application, "the first group of sensing measurement parameters includes the second group of sensing measurement parameters" can mean that the parameters included in the first group of sensing measurement parameters include the parameters included in the second group of sensing measurement parameters.

[0177] For example, the first set of sensing measurement parameters includes a first parameter and a second parameter, and the second set of sensing measurement parameters includes the first parameter. It can be seen that the parameters included in the first set of sensing measurement parameters include the parameters included in the second set of sensing measurement parameters (the first parameter), that is, the first set of sensing measurement parameters includes the second set of sensing measurement parameters. As another example, the first set of sensing measurement parameters includes a first parameter and a second parameter, and the second set of sensing measurement parameters includes a third parameter and a fourth parameter. In this case, the first, second, third, and fourth parameters are all different. It can be seen that the first set of sensing measurement parameters and the second set of sensing measurement parameters do not contain each other.

[0178] It should be noted that the first, second, third, and fourth parameters in the above examples can be different parameters among bandwidth parameters, sampling rate parameters, start and end time parameters, feedback method parameters, and response end parameters, respectively. The first set of sensing measurement parameters and the second set of sensing measurement parameters can be the first sensing measurement parameters and the sensing measurement parameters of the ongoing sensing process, respectively. This application does not limit them in this regard.

[0179] For example, the first sensing measurement parameters include bandwidth parameters and sampling rate parameters. It can be seen that the parameters included in the sensing measurement parameters of sensing process A and sensing process B both include the parameters included in the first sensing measurement parameters. The second node can select sensing process A and sensing process B as the first process. That is, the second signaling sent by the second node 402 to the first node 401 can include the identification information of sensing process A and the identification information of sensing process B.

[0180] In this embodiment, the first set of sensing measurement parameters includes the second set of sensing measurement parameters, or the second set of sensing measurement parameters is a subset of the first set of sensing measurement parameters. The inclusion of the second set of sensing measurement parameters in the first set can be understood as the values ​​of each parameter in the first set of sensing measurement parameters encompassing the values ​​of their corresponding parameters in the second set of sensing measurement parameters. Specifically, the inclusion of the bandwidth parameter value in the first set of sensing measurement parameters in the second set of sensing measurement parameters means that the bandwidth parameter value in the first set of sensing measurement parameters is greater than or equal to the bandwidth parameter value in the second set of sensing measurement parameters. Similarly, the inclusion of the sampling rate parameter value in the first set of sensing measurement parameters in the second set of sensing measurement parameters means that the sampling rate parameter value in the first set of sensing measurement parameters is greater than or equal to the sampling rate parameter value in the second set of sensing measurement parameters. Furthermore, the inclusion of the start and end time parameter value in the first set of sensing measurement parameters in the second set of sensing measurement parameters means that the time interval indicated by the start and end time parameter in the first set of sensing measurement parameters encompasses the time interval indicated by the start and end time parameter in the second set of sensing measurement parameters.

[0181] For example, the bandwidth parameter in the first sensing measurement parameters is 80MHz, the sampling rate parameter is 30Hz, and the start and end time parameters are from the 11th to the 20th second after a preset time. It can be seen that the values ​​of each parameter in the sensing measurement parameters of sensing process A do not include the values ​​of the corresponding parameters in the first sensing measurement parameters, while the values ​​of each parameter in the sensing measurement parameters of sensing process B include the values ​​of the parameters in the first sensing measurement parameters. Therefore, the second node can select sensing process B as the first process. In other words, the second signaling sent by the second node 402 to the first node 401 can include the identification information of sensing process B.

[0182] In some other possible implementations, during the ongoing sensing measurement process, the second node can select a sensing process whose response end intersects with the sensing process response end indicated by the response end parameter in the first sensing measurement parameters as the first process. In this way, the first process selected by the second node can promptly and at least partially satisfy the first node's requirements for the sensing process response end, facilitating further selection by the first node.

[0183] For example, the sensing process response terminal indicated by the response terminal parameter in the first sensing measurement parameters includes the fourth node 404. It can be seen that the sensing process response terminal (third node 403) of sensing process A has no overlap with the sensing process response terminal indicated by the response terminal parameter in the first sensing measurement parameters, while the sensing process response terminal of sensing process B overlaps with the sensing process response terminal indicated by the response terminal parameter in the first sensing measurement parameters. Therefore, the second node can select sensing process B as the first process. That is, the second signaling sent by the second node 402 to the first node 401 may include the identification information of sensing process B.

[0184] In some other possible implementations, during the ongoing sensing measurement process, the second node can select a sensing process whose sensing process response end includes the sensing process response end indicated by the response end parameter in the first sensing measurement parameters as the first process. In this way, the first process selected by the second node can promptly meet the first node's requirements for the sensing process response end, facilitating further selection by the first node.

[0185] For example, the sensing process response terminals indicated by the response terminal parameters in the first sensing measurement parameters include the fourth node 404 and the fifth node 405. It can be seen that the sensing process response terminal of sensing process A does not include the sensing process response terminal indicated by the response terminal parameters in the first sensing measurement parameters, while the sensing process response terminal of sensing process B includes the sensing process response terminal indicated by the response terminal parameters in the first sensing measurement parameters. The second node can select sensing process B as the first process. That is, the second signaling sent by the second node 402 to the first node 401 may include the identification information of sensing process B.

[0186] In some other possible implementations, during the ongoing sensing measurement process, the second node can select a sensing process as the first process where the sensing process initiation end intersects with the sensing process initiation end indicated by the first sensing measurement parameters, and the sensing process response end intersects with the sensing process response end indicated by the first sensing measurement parameters. This ensures that the first process selected by the second node at least partially satisfies the first node's requirements for the sensing process initiation end and the sensing process response end, facilitating further selection by the first node.

[0187] In some other possible implementations, during the ongoing sensing measurement process, the second node can select a sensing process initiating at the sensing process initiating end and a sensing process responding at the sensing process initiating end indicated by the first sensing measurement parameters, and the sensing process responding at the sensing process responding end indicated by the first sensing measurement parameters, as the first process. This ensures that the first process selected by the second node meets the first node's requirements for the sensing process initiating end and the sensing process responding end, facilitating further selection by the first node.

[0188] It should be understood that the above description of the second node's selection of the first process is merely illustrative and does not imply that this application is limited thereto. For example, the second node may also select the first process based on one or more of the following parameters: bandwidth parameter, sampling rate parameter, start and end time parameter, and other parameters that may be included in the sensing measurement parameters. The selection process is similar to the example above and is not limited here.

[0189] After selecting at least one first process, the second node can generate a second signaling message based on the identification information of the at least one first process, and send the second signaling message to the first node. The description of the identification information can be found in the foregoing embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0190] S303, Receive the third signaling sent by the first node.

[0191] The third signaling may include identification information for at least one second process. This second process belongs to at least one of the aforementioned first processes, or in other words, it is a sensing process within the aforementioned at least one first process.

[0192] The second process can be randomly selected by the first node in at least one first process, or it can be selected by the first node based on pre-set rules in at least one first process, or it can be determined by the first node receiving user input, or it can be selected by the first node based on its own sensing and measurement needs. For example, the second signaling may also include sensing and measurement parameters for each first process. The pre-set rules may include one or more of the following: preferentially selecting sensing processes whose sensing and measurement parameters have a high degree of overlap with the first sensing and measurement parameters; preferentially selecting sensing processes whose one or more parameters in the sensing and measurement parameters have a high degree of overlap with the corresponding parameters in the first sensing and measurement parameters. These one or more parameters may be pre-configured by the first node, and this embodiment of the application does not limit this.

[0193] In some possible implementations, after receiving the third signaling from the first node, the second node can update one or more parameters, such as bandwidth, sampling rate, and start / end time parameters, from the sensing and measurement parameters of each second process to the corresponding parameters in the first signaling. This allows the sensing and measurement results of the second processes to better match the sensing and measurement needs of the first node, improving sensing and measurement efficiency. For example, after receiving the third signaling from the first node, the second node can update the start / end time parameters of each second process indicated by the third signaling to the start / end time parameters in the first signaling.

[0194] S304. Send the sensing measurement results of at least one second process to the first node.

[0195] There are several ways for the second node to feed back the sensing measurement results. For example, the first signaling may include feedback method parameters. The second node can send the sensing measurement results of the second process to the first node based on the feedback method indicated by the feedback method parameters. The description of the feedback method parameters can be found in the foregoing embodiments and will not be repeated here. For example, if the feedback method parameters indicate that the sensing measurement results are fed back all at once, the second node can send the sensing measurement results of the second process all at once to the first node at the end of the second process. As another example, if the feedback method parameters indicate that the sensing measurement results are fed back in multiple segments, the second node can send the sensing measurement results of the second process to the first node in multiple segments during the second process.

[0196] In some possible implementations, the sensing measurement parameters of the second process are not exactly the same as those of the first sensing measurement parameters, which may cause the sensing measurement results of the second process to fail to meet the sensing measurement requirements of the first node. Therefore, embodiments of this application can establish a fifth process based on the sensing measurement parameters of at least one second process and the first sensing measurement parameters, and send the sensing measurement results of the fifth process to the first node.

[0197] The fifth process is a sensing process. The sensing measurement parameters of the fifth process are a subset of the first sensing measurement parameters, and the sensing measurement parameters of the fifth process are not a subset of the sensing measurement parameters of at least one second process. The subset of sensing measurement parameters can be referred to the description in the preceding embodiments, and will not be repeated here. In other words, the sensing measurement parameters of the fifth process are not included in the sensing measurement parameters of the second process, but are included in the first sensing measurement parameters. Therefore, the sensing measurement results of the fifth process can satisfy the sensing measurement needs that the first node cannot meet through the second process. Thus, it can respond to the first node in a timely manner when sensing resources are scarce, and also improve the utilization rate of sensing resources, thereby improving the efficiency of sensing measurement.

[0198] In this embodiment, the second node can establish association information to record the relationships between the sensing process, the SBP process, the proxy sensing initiator, the proxy sensing response, the sensing process initiator, and the sensing process response. The second node can use these association relationships to determine the transmission path of the sensing measurement results, such as sending them to the first node.

[0199] In some possible implementations, the second node can store the associated information in a table format. For example, the second node can use one table to store the relationships between the sensing process, the proxy sensing process, and the proxy sensing initiator, and another table to store the relationships between the sensing measurement process, the sensing process initiator, the sensing process responder, and the sensing measurement parameters. Alternatively, the second node can use a single table to store the relationships between the sensing process, the SBP process, the proxy sensing initiator, the proxy sensing responder, the sensing process initiator, and the sensing process responder. No limitation is imposed here.

[0200] For example, in the wireless network system shown in Figure 4, the identification information of the first node 401 is STA1, the identification information of the second node 402 is AP, the identification information of the third node 403 is STA3, the identification information of the fourth node 404 is STA4, and the identification information of the fifth node 405 is STA5. The identification information of sensing process A is MS ID1, the identification information of the sensing process initiator is AP, the identification information of the sensing process responder is STA3, and the sensing measurement parameters are MS Parameters1. The identification information of the proxy sensing process associated with sensing process A is SBPS ID1, and the identification information of the proxy sensing initiator is STA1. The identification information of sensing process B is MS ID2, the identification information of the sensing process initiator is AP, the identification information of the sensing process responder is STA4 and STA5, and the sensing measurement parameters are MS Parameters2. The identification information of the proxy sensing process associated with sensing process B is SBPS ID2, and the identification information of the proxy sensing initiator is STA1. Thus, the association information can be shown in Table 1 below.

[0201] Table 1

[0202] When the identifier information of the agent perception process corresponding to the first signaling is SBPS ID3 and the second process is perception process B, the second node can update the association information shown in Table 1 to Table 2 below.

[0203] Table 2

[0204] The second node can send the perception measurement results of the perception process to the corresponding agent perception initiator based on the identification information of the agent perception initiator in the associated information.

[0205] The wireless sensing measurement method provided in this application embodiment has been described above from the perspective of the proxy sensing response end. It can be seen that in this wireless sensing measurement method, when the proxy sensing response end receives a first signaling requesting the proxy to perform sensing measurement, it can provide the ongoing sensing process for the first node to select, and return the sensing measurement result of the selected sensing process to the first node. This improves the utilization efficiency of sensing resources and facilitates timely or partial fulfillment of the first node's sensing measurement needs, thereby enhancing sensing measurement efficiency.

[0206] The wireless sensing measurement method provided in this application embodiment will be described again from the perspective of the agent sensing initiator. It should be noted that this application embodiment can be used as a supplement to the method shown in Figure 1, or it can be implemented independently, and is not limited here.

[0207] Please refer to Figure 5, which is a flowchart illustrating another wireless sensing measurement method provided in an embodiment of this application. This method is executed by a proxy sensing response terminal (hereinafter referred to as the first node), such as a station STA. It should be understood that the proxy sensing response terminal can also serve as a sensing process response terminal, which will not be elaborated here. The method includes the following steps S501 to S504.

[0208] S501, Send the first signaling to the second node.

[0209] S502, Receive the second signaling sent by the second node.

[0210] S503, Send the third signaling to the second node based on the second signaling.

[0211] S504, Receive at least one sensing measurement result of the second process sent by the second node.

[0212] For the second node, the first signaling, the second signaling, the third signaling, the second process, the sensing measurement results, and the specific implementation of each step, please refer to the aforementioned embodiments. The beneficial effects that can be obtained are similar, and will not be repeated here.

[0213] The wireless sensing measurement method provided in this application embodiment will be described again from the perspective of the interaction between the first node and the second node. This method can be applied to wireless network systems. For a description of the wireless network system, please refer to the foregoing embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0214] Please refer to Figure 6, which is an interactive schematic diagram of a wireless sensing measurement method provided in an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 6, the method includes the following steps S601 to S604.

[0215] S601, The first node sends the first signaling to the second node.

[0216] S602, The second node sends a second signaling message to the first node.

[0217] S603, The first node sends the third signaling to the second node.

[0218] S604, The second node sends at least one sensing measurement result of the second process to the first node.

[0219] The descriptions of the first node, second node, first signaling, second signaling, third signaling, second process, sensing measurement results, and the specific implementation of each step can be found in the aforementioned embodiments, and the beneficial effects can be obtained similarly, so they will not be repeated here.

[0220] This application also provides a wireless sensing measurement method, which can be used as a supplement to the method shown in Figure 1 or can be implemented independently, and is not limited here.

[0221] Please refer to Figure 7, which is a flowchart illustrating another wireless sensing measurement method provided in an embodiment of this application. This method is executed by a sensing process initiator (hereinafter referred to as the second node), such as a wireless access point (AP). It should be understood that the sensing process initiator can also act as an SBP response terminal, which will not be elaborated here. The method includes the following steps S701 to S703.

[0222] S701, Receive the first signaling sent by the first node.

[0223] For an explanation of the first node and the first signaling, please refer to the aforementioned embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0224] S702. Update the first process based on the first sensing measurement parameters to obtain the second process.

[0225] The explanation of the first sensing measurement parameters, the first process, and the selection of the first process by the second node in the ongoing sensing process can be found in the foregoing embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0226] In some possible implementations, the first sensing measurement parameters and the sensing measurement parameters of the first process are both subsets of the sensing measurement parameters of the second process. The subsets of sensing measurement parameters are explained in the foregoing embodiments and will not be repeated here. For example, after receiving the sensing measurement parameters sent by the first node, the second node can select the first process in the ongoing sensing process using the method described in the foregoing embodiments. Then, the second node can determine a third sensing measurement parameter based on the first sensing measurement parameters and the sensing measurement parameters of the first process. This third sensing measurement parameter includes both the first sensing measurement parameters and the sensing measurement parameters of the first process. In other words, the first sensing measurement parameters and the sensing measurement parameters of the first process are both subsets of the third sensing measurement parameter. The second node can establish a sensing process based on this third sensing measurement parameter to obtain the aforementioned second process. Thus, the second process can satisfy both the original sensing measurement requirements and the sensing measurement requirements of the first node, while consuming fewer sensing resources, which is beneficial for improving the utilization rate of sensing resources and the efficiency of sensing measurement.

[0227] The following section uses the wireless network system shown in Figure 4 as an example to introduce the above-mentioned process of updating the first process based on the first sensing measurement parameters.

[0228] For example, in the wireless network system shown in Figure 4, the ongoing sensing process includes sensing process A and sensing process B. Sensing process A is initiated by the second node 402, and the sensing process responds to the third node 403. Sensing process B is initiated by the second node 402, and the sensing process responds to the fourth node 404 and the fifth node 405. Sensing process A has a bandwidth of 50MHz and a sampling rate of 25Hz. Sensing process B has a bandwidth of 100MHz and a sampling rate of 30Hz. The first node 401 is the SBP initiator, and the second node 402 is the SBP responder. The first node 401 sends a first signaling to the second node 402. This first signaling includes first sensing measurement parameters.

[0229] For example, the first sensing measurement parameters include a bandwidth parameter and a sampling rate parameter, where the bandwidth parameter is 120MHz and the sampling rate parameter is 28Hz. When the intersection of sensing measurement parameters is understood as the overlap between parameters included in multiple sets of sensing measurement parameters, it can be seen that both sensing process A and sensing process B overlap with the first sensing measurement parameters. The second node can then select sensing process A and / or sensing process B as the first process. Based on the bandwidth parameter in the first sensing measurement parameters, the second node can update the bandwidth parameter of sensing process A and / or sensing process B to 120MHz. In this way, sensing process B can meet the sensing measurement requirements of the first node.

[0230] In the embodiments of this application, updating the first process based on the first sensing measurement parameters can refer to modifying the sensing measurement parameters of the first process based on the first sensing measurement parameters, or it can refer to reconstructing the first process based on the first sensing measurement parameters. No limitation is made here. Modifying the sensing measurement parameters of the first process means modifying the sensing measurement parameters of the first process without interrupting the first process. Reconstructing the first process means stopping the first process, modifying the sensing measurement parameters of the first process, and establishing a new sensing process based on the modified sensing measurement parameters.

[0231] S703, Send the sensing measurement results of the second process to the first node.

[0232] The description of the second node sending the perception measurement results of the second process to the first node can be found in the aforementioned embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0233] In some possible implementations, after the second node successfully updates the first process and obtains the second process, it can also send a fourth signaling message indicating that the update was successful to the first node. In this way, the first node can promptly receive the message that the sensing process has been successfully updated.

[0234] It should be understood that, in the wireless sensing measurement method provided in this application, when the proxy sensing response terminal receives the first signaling request from the first node to perform sensing measurement, it can update the ongoing sensing process based on the first node's sensing measurement requirements (i.e., the first sensing measurement parameters) to timely meet or partially meet the first node's sensing measurement requirements. This is beneficial for improving the utilization efficiency of sensing resources and the efficiency of sensing measurement.

[0235] This application also provides a wireless sensing measurement method, which can be used as a supplement to the method shown in Figure 3.

[0236] Please refer to Figure 8, which is a flowchart illustrating another wireless sensing measurement method provided in an embodiment of this application. This method is executed by a sensing process initiator (hereinafter referred to as the second node), such as a wireless access point (AP). It should be understood that the sensing process initiator can also act as an SBP response terminal, which will not be elaborated here. The method includes the following steps S801 to S804.

[0237] S801, Receive the first signaling sent by the first node.

[0238] S802, Send the second signaling to the first node.

[0239] For the explanation of the first node, the first signaling, and the second signaling, please refer to the aforementioned embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0240] S803, Receive the fifth signaling sent by the first node.

[0241] The fifth signaling instruction is not used. That is, the first node may not select any of the sensing processes indicated in the second signaling. For example, if the first node determines that none of the sensing processes indicated in the second signaling can meet the minimum sensing measurement requirements, it may send the fifth signaling to the second node.

[0242] In some possible implementations, the fifth signaling can be an empty signaling.

[0243] S804, Sensing process based on the fifth signaling.

[0244] In some possible implementations, the second node can stop the proxy awareness process of the first signaling request based on the fifth signaling.

[0245] In some other possible implementations, the second node may also periodically attempt to establish a sensing process based on the first sensing measurement parameters after receiving the fifth signaling.

[0246] In other possible implementations, if the first node determines that it will not use the sensing process in the second signaling, it may also choose not to send signaling to the second node, such as the fifth signaling mentioned above. Correspondingly, if the second node does not receive signaling from the first node within a preset time, it may stop the proxy sensing process requested by the first signaling, or periodically attempt to establish a sensing process based on the first sensing measurement parameters, etc., without limitation here.

[0247] It should be understood that in the wireless sensing and measurement method provided in this application embodiment, the first node can choose not to use the sensing process provided by the proxy sensing response terminal when the proxy sensing response terminal cannot meet the sensing and measurement requirements. This helps to avoid wasting sensing resources and thus improves the efficiency of sensing and measurement.

[0248] Some optional features in the various embodiments of this application may not depend on other features in some scenarios, or may be combined with other features in other scenarios, without limitation.
