[0180] Step 503, the fourth network element receives the sensing measurement information sent by the target sensing node.

[0181] Among them, the perception measurement information is obtained by the target perception node after performing the perception task based on the perception control information, and sent based on the second identifier of the fourth network element.

[0182] In this embodiment of the application, after the target sensing node receives the sensing control information and the second identifier of the sensing function network element sent by the sensing function network element, each sensing node can perform sensing measurement based on the sensing control information to obtain sensing measurement information for the sensing task; then, it can send the obtained sensing measurement information to the sensing function network element corresponding to the second identifier of the sensing function network element.

[0183] It should be noted that the target sensing node can send the sensing measurement information to the SF-U network element, and the SF-U network element can then send the sensing measurement information to the SF-C network element.

[0184] The information acquisition method provided in the embodiments of this application allows the sensing function network element itself to determine the target number of target sensing nodes that need to be sensed, and send sensing control information to the corresponding target sensing nodes, thereby obtaining the sensing measurement information of the target number of target sensing nodes for the sensing task. It can obtain the sensing measurement information of multiple sensing nodes and realize the collaboration between multiple sensing nodes in the integrated sensing scenario.

[0185] Based on the foregoing embodiments, this application provides an information acquisition method. Referring to Figures 6 and 7, the method may include the following steps:

[0186] Step 601: After receiving the first request for performing a sensing task, the fourth network element determines the target number of sensing nodes and the target number of sensing nodes corresponding to the sensing task based on the information of the sensing task and / or the information of the sensing nodes, when it is determined that the sensing task requires the cooperation of multiple sensing nodes.

[0187] In this embodiment of the application, as shown in Figure 6, the sensing measurement of the target sensing node can be achieved by only sensing function network elements (i.e., SF-U network elements and SF-C network elements). In this implementation process, when the SF-C network element receives the sensing request of the sensing task, it will determine whether multiple sensing nodes need to cooperate based on the information of the sensing task and the sensing node information in the sensing request. When it is determined that multiple sensing nodes need to cooperate, it will determine the number of sensing nodes required for the sensing task (i.e., the target number) and the target number of sensing nodes based on the information of the sensing task and the sensing node information.

[0188] In other real-time scenarios of this application, the process of determining whether to perform multi-sensor collaboration by the SF-C network element can greatly reduce signaling interaction overhead.

[0189] It should be noted that in an embodiment, steps 608-610 can be performed after step 601 as shown in FIG. 6; in another embodiment, steps 608-610 are performed after steps 602-607 as shown in FIG. 7.

[0190] Step 602, after the fourth network element receives the first request for the sensing task, the second request is sent to the second network element based on the first request.

[0191] Among them, one or more of the information of the sensing task and the information of the sensing node are included in the second request.

[0192] Step 603, the second network element receives the second request sent by the fourth network element.

[0193] Step 604, when the second network element determines that the sensing task needs to be cooperated by multiple sensing nodes based on the information of the sensing task and / or the information of the sensing node, the second network element determines the target number of sensing nodes corresponding to the sensing task based on the information of the sensing task and / or the information of the sensing node.

[0194] It should be noted that the "determination of the target number of sensing nodes corresponding to the sensing task based on the information of the sensing task and / or the information of the sensing node" in step 604 can be realized by the following way:

[0195] B1, the second network element determines the performance information corresponding to the second network element.

[0196] Among them, the performance information can refer to some information that can represent the performance of the NWDAF network element; in a feasible implementation manner, the performance information can include one or more of energy consumption, network information and more comprehensive factors.

[0197] B2, the second network element determines the target number of sensing nodes corresponding to the sensing task based on the information of the sensing task, the information of the sensing node and the performance information.

[0198] Step 605, the second network element sends the target number to the fourth network element.

[0199] Step 606, the fourth network element receives the target number of sensing nodes corresponding to the sensing task sent by the second network element.

[0200] Among them, the SF-C network element in the sensing function network element will receive the target number of sensing nodes corresponding to the sensing task sent by the NWDAF network element.

[0201] Step 607, the fourth network element determines the target sensing node of the target number based on the information of the sensing task and / or the information of the sensing node.

[0202] In the embodiments of the present application, if the awareness function network element needs some intelligent analysis when determining the target awareness node, the NWDAF network element provides the intelligent analysis capability in the scheme of performing the awareness measurement on the target awareness node as shown in FIG. 7. Specifically, after the SF-C network element in the awareness function network element receives the target number sent by the NWDAF network element, the SF-C network element determines the awareness node set from the awareness nodes based on the target number, to obtain the target awareness node of the target number.

[0203] It should be noted that the "determining the target awareness node of the target number based on the information of the awareness task and / or the information of the awareness node" in steps 601 and 607 can be implemented in the following manner:

[0204] A1, the fourth network element determines the first awareness node of the target number based on the information of the awareness task and / or the information of the awareness node.

[0205] It should be noted that the "determining the target awareness node of the target number based on the information of the awareness task and / or the information of the awareness node" in steps 601 and 607 can be implemented in the following manner:

[0206] A2, the fourth network element receives the second information sent by the first awareness node.

[0207] A3, if the second information indicates that all the first awareness nodes can perform the awareness measurement task, the fourth network element determines that the first awareness node of the target number is the target awareness node of the target number.

[0208] In the embodiments of the present application, the SF-C network element can send the awareness control information to each of the first awareness nodes, and then receives the second information (i.e., the first feedback information) returned by each of the first awareness nodes. If the second information indicates that all the awareness nodes in the first awareness nodes can perform the awareness measurement task, it can be determined that the first awareness node of the target number is the target awareness node of the target number.

[0209] A4, if the second information indicates that there is an awareness node in the first awareness nodes that cannot perform the awareness measurement task, the fourth network element determines the second awareness node of the target number based on the information of the awareness task and / or the information of the awareness node.

[0210] In the embodiment of the present application, if the second information indicates that some of the first perception nodes cannot perform the perception measurement task, it means that the target number of the first perception nodes determined this time cannot be the final target perception nodes; at this time, the SF-C network element needs to determine the target number of the second perception nodes according to the information of the perception task and the information of the perception nodes, that is, to obtain the target number of the perception nodes; wherein the target number of the second perception nodes includes the target number of the perception nodes.

[0211] A5, the fourth network element receives the third information sent by the second perception node.

[0212] A6, if the third information indicates that the second perception nodes can all perform the perception measurement task, the fourth network element determines the target number of the second perception nodes as the target number of the target perception nodes.

[0213] In the embodiment of the present application, the SF-C network element can send the perception control information to each of the second perception nodes, and then receive the third information (i.e., the second feedback information) returned by each of the second perception nodes; if the third information indicates that all of the second perception nodes can perform the perception measurement task, it can be determined that the target number of the second perception nodes is the final target number of the target perception nodes.

[0214] A7, if the third information indicates that there are perception nodes in the second perception nodes that cannot perform the perception measurement task, the fourth network element determines the target number of the third perception nodes based on the information of the perception task and / or the information of the perception nodes, until the target number of the target perception nodes that can perform the perception measurement operation is determined.

[0215] In the embodiment of the present application, if the third information indicates that some of the second perception nodes cannot perform the perception measurement task, it means that the target number of the second perception nodes determined this time cannot be the final target perception nodes; at this time, the SF-C network element needs to continue to determine the target number of the third perception nodes according to the information of the perception task and the information of the perception nodes; if the target number of the third perception nodes determined still has perception nodes that cannot perform the perception measurement task, it continues to determine the target number of the Nth perception nodes, until the target number of the perception nodes determined can all perform the perception measurement task, that is, the target number of the target perception nodes is obtained. That is, each of the target number of the target perception nodes can perform the perception measurement task.

[0216] Step 608, the fourth network element sends the first information to the target perception nodes.

[0217] The first information includes one or more of the second identifier of the fourth network element, the perception control information, and the service identifier.

[0218] Step 609: The fourth network element determines the task identifier of the perception task, and sends the task identifier to the target perception node.

[0219] In the embodiments of the present application, the task identifier of the perception task can be used to uniquely identify the perception task. The task identifier of the perception task can refer to the task label of the perception task. It should be noted that the task label can be obtained by the SF-C network element and sent to the corresponding target perception node.

[0220] In other embodiments of the present application, the SF-C network element also sends the ID of the SF-U network element to the target perception node.

[0221] Step 610: The fourth network element receives the perception measurement information and the task identifier having a mapping relationship with the task identifier sent by the target perception node.

[0222] The perception measurement information is determined by the target perception node based on the perception control information.

[0223] In the embodiments of the present application, each target perception node can perform perception measurement to obtain perception measurement information according to the received task label of the perception task and the perception control information. Then, each target perception node sends the obtained perception measurement information to the SF-U network element in the perception function network element. Further, the SF-U network element processes the target number of perception measurement information and sends the processed perception measurement information to the SF-C network element.

[0224] It should be noted that each target perception network element carries the task identifier when sending the perception measurement information, that is, the task identifier and the perception measurement information are sent after the mapping relationship is established.

[0225] In other embodiments of the present application, the method can further include the following steps:

[0226] Step 611: If it is determined that the perception measurement information of the target number of target perception nodes has been received, the fourth network element processes the perception measurement information with the same task identifier to obtain target perception measurement information.

[0227] The perception measurement information can refer to perception measurement data, and the target perception measurement information can refer to fused target perception measurement data.

[0228] In the embodiment of the present application, the SF-C network element also sends the task label of the sensing task and the number of sensing nodes (i.e., the target number) to the SF-U network element; in this way, after receiving the sensing measurement information and the task identification, the SF-U performs fusion processing on the sensing measurement data belonging to the same task label according to the received number of sensing nodes (i.e., the target number) and the task label, to obtain target sensing measurement data, and then sends the target sensing measurement data to the SF-C network element. Moreover, the sensing function network element itself can perform fusion of multiple sensing measurement data, without the need to introduce an additional fusion node, greatly reducing the complexity of calculation, and improving the working efficiency of sensing measurement.
