Specifically, the use of terms such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0221] The following is a brief explanation of the relevant concepts mentioned in this disclosure.

[0222] I. Definition of Communication Sensing

[0223] In a narrow sense, perception refers to a system with the ability to locate targets (range, velocity, angle), image targets, detect targets, track targets, and identify targets. In a broad sense, it refers to a system that can perceive the attributes and states of all services, networks, users and terminals, as well as environmental objects.

[0224] Communication-sensing fusion achieves a unified design of communication and sensing functions through signal joint design and / or hardware sharing. Sensing in communication-sensing fusion can be understood as a wireless sensing technology based on a communication system. It involves transmitting wireless signals to a target area or object and analyzing the received signals to obtain corresponding sensing measurement information. Therefore, wireless communication networks inherently possess wireless sensing capabilities, and base stations and terminals will simultaneously have communication and sensing capabilities, providing sensing services for sensing applications, including intelligent transportation, drone monitoring, national railway perimeter security detection, smart homes, public safety, health monitoring, and environmental monitoring.

[0225] II. Perceiving Scenarios and Needs

[0226] Perceptual needs are prevalent across various industries and can be broadly categorized into per-area perception and per-object perception. Per-area perception primarily targets objects within a specific geographical area. For example, monitoring unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) at civil aviation airports requires sensing and detecting large areas of airspace to identify illegal UAV intrusions. Similarly, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) dynamic map applications require real-time sensing and detection of entire road segments to update dynamic maps and assist vehicle driving. Per-object perception, on the other hand, focuses on sensing individual objects and may even require continuous tracking of those objects. Target objects may lack user equipment (UE) identification (e.g., animals, buildings); they may also possess UE identification, including the object itself containing a UE identification (e.g., a car with a UE module) or a coupling relationship between the object and the UE identification (e.g., a person carrying a mobile phone). Examples include regulatory agencies continuously tracking suspicious vehicles or UAVs, and the detection of human breathing and heartbeats through collaboration between base stations and terminal UEs.

[0227] III. Network Architecture for Communication Sensing Functions

[0228] Considering the degree of coupling between sensing functions and existing functional modules in the 5G Core Network (5GC), the sensing network architecture can be broadly categorized into two types: tightly coupled and loosely coupled. New functional network elements for sensing can be added to the 5GC, namely the Sensing Function (SF), which is primarily responsible for sensing control and the calculation of sensing measurement data. The SF logical function can be co-located with functions such as the Location Management Function (LMF), or the LMF can be directly enhanced to implement this function. The SF logical function may also be divided into two functional modules, SF-C (control-plane) and SF-U (user-plane), and deployed separately.

[0229] IV. Opening up communication sensing capabilities

[0230] Opening up sensing capabilities refers to the process by which a sensing network element (SN) controls a sensing device (SF) to perform sensing operations and acquire sensing measurement data after receiving a sensing request from a sensing service requester (such as an external AF / UE / internal network element). The SN then processes the sensing measurement data to generate sensing results, which are finally made available to external application functions (AFs) through network exposure functions (NEFs) or directly sent to the UE and internal network elements. With network authorization and user consent, the SF can also open the sensing results to non-sensing service requesters' network elements (NFs), such as the Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF), for model training and collaborative analysis.

[0231] NEF supports exposing network functions to external third parties (such as AF). These exposed network capabilities are categorized into monitoring capabilities, provisioning capabilities, policy / charging capabilities, network status reporting capabilities, and analytics reporting capabilities. Monitoring capabilities monitor specific events of the terminal in the 5G network and expose these monitored events to external third parties via NEF. Provisioning capabilities allow external third parties to provide information available to the UE in the 5G network, i.e., the UE's configuration information. Policy / charging capabilities provide QoS and charging policies to the UE based on requests from external third parties. Analytics capabilities allow external third parties to request analytical data from the 5G system.

[0232] The application enablement layer network also supports processing the acquired sensing measurement data to generate sensing results, which can then be made available to vertical applications through corresponding application enablers. It also supports providing various value-added sensing results to vertical applications to meet their sensing business needs.

[0233] The embodiments of this disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The sensing data processing, transmission method, apparatus, terminal, and device provided in the embodiments of this disclosure can be applied to wireless communication systems. This wireless communication system can be a system employing fifth-generation (5G) mobile communication technology (hereinafter referred to as a 5G system) or a system employing sixth-generation (6G) mobile communication technology (hereinafter referred to as a 6G system). Those skilled in the art will understand that the 5G NR system is merely an example and not a limitation.

[0234] This disclosure provides a sensing data processing and transmission method, apparatus, terminal, and device to realize sensing data processing and open sensing results.

[0235] The method and apparatus are based on the same concept of the application. Since the methods and apparatus solve problems in similar ways, the implementation of the apparatus and methods can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be described again.

[0242] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, by receiving a first sensing request from a second network element, sending a second sensing request to a third network element, receiving sensing measurement data sent by the third network element, obtaining a first sensing result based on the sensing measurement data, and sending the first sensing result to the second network element, the processing of sensing measurement data and the opening of the sensing result to the second network element can be realized.

[0243] In some embodiments, the first network element mentioned in this disclosure can be a network element for sensing management. In some embodiments, the first network element is a network element deployed in the application enablement layer for sensing management, which can be co-located with an existing application enabler server or separate from it. For example, it can be a separate sensing management (SM) server (the SM server is an enabler server added by the application enablement layer to serve sensing information). In some embodiments, the second network element can be a sensing application server (e.g., a vertical industry server (VAL) server) or a sensing application terminal (e.g., a VAL UE).

[0244] In some embodiments, under one implementation, the first perception request includes at least one of the following:

[0245] A11. Business Type;

[0246] In some embodiments, the business type includes at least one of the following:

[0247] Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) detection, dynamic mapping, vehicle tracking, human sensory enhancement, motion recognition, and emergency notification.

[0248] In some embodiments, the action recognition may include, but is not limited to, limb action recognition and head action recognition. For example, limb action recognition includes gesture recognition.

[0249] A12. Perceive target information;

[0250] In some embodiments, the perceived target information includes at least one of the following:

[0251] Target type, target size, target material, target flight trajectory, target identification, target location information, target quantity, and terminal identification;

[0252] A13. Perceiving business requirements;

[0253] In some embodiments, the sensing service requirement includes at least one of the following:

[0254] Sensing target area information, sensing accuracy, sensing duration, sensing latency, sensing resolution, sensing reliability, sensing detection rate, sensing false alarm rate, and refresh rate.

[0255] A14. Sensing request triggering conditions;

[0256] In some embodiments, the sensing request triggering condition may include at least one of the following: real-time triggering, periodic triggering, and event triggering.

[0257] A15, Terminal sensing indication;

[0258] In some embodiments, for example, the terminal sensing indication may be used to indicate that terminal sensing is allowed, or for example, the terminal sensing indication may also be used to indicate that terminal sensing is not allowed, or for example, the terminal sensing indication may also indicate whether terminal sensing is allowed.

[0259] In some embodiments, the understanding that the second sensing request is determined based on the first sensing request is as follows: the content included in the second sensing request is determined based on the content included in the first sensing request. In some embodiments, in one case, the content included in the second sensing request is the same as the content included in the first sensing request (which can also be simply understood as the second sensing request being the same as the first sensing request). For example, if the first sensing request includes A11-A13, the second sensing request also includes A11-A13. In some embodiments, in one case, the content included in the second sensing request is a part of the content included in the first sensing request (which can also be simply understood as the second sensing request being different from the first sensing request). For example, if the first sensing request includes A11-A15, the second sensing request includes A11-A13. Of course, the above are merely examples and do not constitute a limitation on the implementation method of determining the second sensing request based on the first sensing request mentioned in the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0260] In some embodiments, the specific implementation of sending the second sensing request to the third network element includes:

[0261] If the authorization check for the first sensing request passes, a second sensing request is sent to the third network element based on the first sensing request.

[0262] It should be noted that a second sensing request is only sent to the third network element to request sensing measurement data after the first sensing request authorization check is passed. This is to prevent the sensing results from being sent to unauthorized network elements, which could lead to information privacy leaks, and thus ensures the reliability of information transmission.

[0263] In some embodiments, under one implementation, the method further includes:

[0264] If the authorization check for the first perception request passes, a terminal privacy check is performed on the first perception request;

[0265] If the terminal privacy check information indicates that the terminal does not allow the service indicated by the first perception request to obtain perception measurement data or perception results related to the terminal, a rejection message is sent to the second network element, and the rejection message carries a rejection reason value.

[0266] It should be noted that the terminal privacy check information can be obtained by the first network element from the terminal. If the terminal allows the service indicated by the first perception request to obtain perception measurement data or perception results related to the terminal, the first network element can send a second perception request to the third network element. If the terminal does not allow the service indicated by the first perception request to obtain perception measurement data or perception results related to the terminal, the first network element needs to send a rejection message to the second network element to reject the first perception request of the second network element.

[0267] In some embodiments, in one implementation, the first network element determines the third network element that receives the second sensing request based on at least one of the first sensing request, pre-configuration information, terminal sensing capability information, and operator policy information.

[0268] In some embodiments, under one implementation, the third network element includes at least one of the following:

[0269] B11, Terminal;

[0270] B12, Internal client of the terminal;

[0271] This situation can be understood as the third network element needing to send a second sensing request to the terminal and / or the client inside the terminal. In other words, in this case, the first network element obtains the sensing measurement data from the terminal side.

[0272] In some embodiments, the first network element may determine whether to send a second sensing request to the terminal and / or the client inside the terminal based on the first sensing request information (e.g., an indication of whether terminal sensing is allowed) and the sensing capability information reported by the terminal. It should be noted that this situation only applies to target-oriented sensing, that is, the first network element may determine the terminal and / or the client inside the terminal to which the request is sent based on the sensing target information (e.g., terminal identifier) ​​in the first sensing request.

[0273] In some embodiments, when a terminal receives a second sensing request and the sensing triggering conditions are met, it triggers a sensing process to obtain sensing measurement data and sends the sensing measurement data to the first network element.

[0274] In some embodiments, when sending sensing measurement data, the terminal may also send the confidence level of the sensing measurement data to the first network element.

[0275] B13, Core Network Elements;

[0276] B14. Core network functions;

[0277] This situation can be understood as the third network element sending the second sensing request to the core network element and / or core network function. In other words, in this case, the first network element obtains the sensing measurement data from the core network side.

[0278] In some embodiments, the core network element and / or core network function can be a network element or network function for network openness, for example, a network openness function (NEF).

[0279] In some embodiments, when a core network element and / or core network function receives a second sensing request and the sensing triggering conditions are met, it triggers a sensing process to acquire sensing measurement data and sends the sensing measurement data to the first network element.

[0280] In some embodiments, core network elements and / or core network functions may also send the confidence level of the sensing measurement data to the first network element when sending sensing measurement data.

[0281] B15. Third-party equipment;

[0282] B16. Third-party network functions;

[0283] This situation can be understood as the third network element sending the second sensing request to a third-party device and / or a third-party network function. In other words, in this case, the first network element obtains sensing measurement data from a third party.

[0284] In some embodiments, a third party acquires sensing measurement data from a non-3GPP network and sends it to a first network element; the third-party device and / or the third-party network element may also send the confidence level of the sensing measurement data to the first network element when sending the sensing measurement data. It should be noted that in this case, the second sensing request is applicable to both target-oriented and area-oriented sensing.

[0285] B17. Application-enabled network elements;

[0286] B18. Application enabler;

[0287] This situation can be understood as the third network element sending the second sensing request to the application enabling network element and / or application enabler. In other words, in this case, the first network element obtains sensing measurement data from the application enabling network element and / or application enabler.

[0288] In some embodiments, the application enabling network element and / or application enabler may be, for example, an Application Data Analytics Enablement Service (ADAES), an Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning Enablement Service (AIMLE), etc.

[0289] In some embodiments, the application-enabled network element and / or application enabler acquires sensing measurement data and sends it to the first network element; when sending the sensing measurement data, the application-enabled network element and / or application enabler may also send the confidence level of the sensing measurement data to the first network element. It should be noted that in this case, the second sensing request is applicable to both target-oriented and area-oriented sensing.

[0290] In some embodiments, one implementation method includes the following specific implementation of obtaining the first perception result based on the perception measurement data:

[0291] Based on the sensory measurement data, obtain the fusion sensing result;

[0292] The first perception result that satisfies the first perception request is determined from the fused perception results.

[0293] In some embodiments, after performing fusion sensing calculations based on sensing measurement data to obtain fusion sensing results, if no first sensing result satisfying the first sensing request exists in the fusion sensing results, a sensing response is sent to the second network element. The sensing response carries an error reason value, which in some embodiments can be used to indicate the reason why the first sensing result was not successfully acquired. If a first sensing result satisfying the first sensing request exists in the fusion sensing results, the first network element sends the first sensing result to the second network element.

[0294] In some embodiments, in one implementation, the first network element can perform fusion sensing calculation based on the sensing measurement data obtained from each third network element to obtain the fusion sensing result; in another implementation, the first network element can also select sensing measurement data whose credibility meets the requirements (e.g., credibility is greater than or equal to a threshold) based on the credibility of the sensing measurement data sent by each third network element to obtain the fusion sensing result.

[0295] Of course, in some embodiments, the first network element may also send a sensing response to the second network element without receiving sensing measurement data, the sensing response carrying an error cause value.

[0296] In some embodiments, under one implementation, the method further includes:

[0297] Send a third-sensing request to the fourth network element;

[0298] Receive the sensing measurement and analysis results sent by the fourth network element;

[0299] Based on the first perception result and / or the perception measurement analysis result, a second perception result is obtained;

[0300] The second sensing result is sent to the second network element.

[0301] In some embodiments, the third sensing request is determined based on the first sensing request. This is understood as follows: the content included in the third sensing request is determined based on the content included in the first sensing request. In some embodiments, the content included in the third sensing request is the same as the content included in the first sensing request; for example, if the first sensing request includes A11-A13, the third sensing request also includes A11-A13. In some embodiments, the content included in the third sensing request is a portion of the content included in the first sensing request; for example, if the first sensing request includes A11-A15, the third sensing request includes A11-A13. Of course, the above are merely examples and do not constitute a limitation on the implementation of the third sensing request being determined based on the first sensing request in the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0302] In some embodiments, the fourth network element includes at least one of the following:

[0303] C11. Network elements used for network data analysis;

[0304] C12. Network functions used for network data analysis;

[0305] This refers to the first network element sending a third-sensing request to a network element and / or network function used for network data analysis;

[0306] In some embodiments, the network element and / or network function used for network data analysis may be, for example, an NWDAF. It should be noted that an NWDAF is a network element / function with AI analysis capabilities in the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) network layer, which can provide network data analysis services to other network function entities.

[0307] For example, in this case, the fourth network element can realize the flight trajectory of the UAV and the prediction and analysis of the flight trajectory.

[0308] C13. Network elements used for enabling application data analysis;

[0309] C14, Enabler for enabling application data analysis;

[0310] This refers to the first network element sending a third sensing request to the network element and / or enabler used for application data analysis enabling.

[0311] In some embodiments, the network element and / or enabler used for application data analytics can be, for example, ADAES. It should be noted that ADAES is an enabler with AI analytics capabilities in the 5G application enablement layer, which can provide application data analytics services to other enablers.

[0312] For example, in this case, the fourth network element can perform perception accuracy analysis (such as vehicle position accuracy analysis) and perception reliability analysis.

[0313] C15. Network elements used for enabling artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning;

[0314] C16, an enabler for enabling AI or machine learning;

[0322] In some embodiments, C11-C16 are mainly applicable to 5G networks, while C17 and C18 are mainly applicable to 6G networks.

[0323] In some embodiments, the specific implementation of sending the third sensing request to the fourth network element includes:

[0324] If the authorization check for the first perception request passes, a third perception request is sent to the fourth network element based on the first perception request.

[0325] It should be noted that only after the authorization check of the first perception request passes will the third perception request be sent to the fourth network element to request the perception measurement and analysis results. This is to prevent the perception results from being sent to unauthorized network elements, which could lead to the leakage of information privacy, and thus ensures the reliability of information transmission.

[0331] In some embodiments, the unified format perception result can be understood as: unifying / standardizing the format of perception measurement data from different sources to obtain a unified format perception result, which facilitates subsequent statistical analysis.

[0332] In some embodiments, under one implementation, the method further includes:

[0333] The first network element receives a sensing capability reporting request sent by the terminal, the sensing capability reporting request including the terminal identifier and the terminal's sensing capability information;

[0334] If the authorization check for the perception capability reporting request passes, a perception capability reporting response is sent to the terminal.

[0335] In some embodiments, if the authorization check for the sensing capability reporting request passes, the first network element also stores or updates the sensing capability information.

[0336] For example, if the first network element does not store the terminal's sensing capability information, the first network element stores the sensing capability information. If the terminal's sensing capability information stored by the first network element is inconsistent with the reported information, the first network element needs to update the stored sensing capability information.

[0337] It should be noted that by reporting the terminal's sensing capabilities, the terminal's sensing capabilities can be opened up, ensuring that the first network element can initiate sensing services based on the terminal.

[0338] In some embodiments, under one implementation, the sensing capability information includes at least one of the following:

[0339] E11, First indication information, the first indication information is used to indicate the terminal's support for perception;

[0340] In some embodiments, for example, the first indication information can be used to indicate that the terminal supports sensing; for example, the first indication information can also be used to indicate that the terminal does not support sensing; for example, the first indication information can also be used to indicate whether the terminal supports sensing.

[0341] E12, Perception modes supported by the terminal;

[0342] In some embodiments, the sensing modes supported by the terminal may include at least one of the following: terminal self-transmission and self-reception (i.e., the terminal sends a sensing signal and receives the echo signal of the sensing signal), one terminal sends and another terminal receives (i.e., the sensing signal is sent by one terminal and the echo signal of the sensing signal is received by another terminal), and terminal sends and network device receives (i.e., the terminal sends a sensing signal and the network device receives the echo signal of the sensing signal).

[0343] E13, Terminal privacy check information;

[0344] For example, the terminal privacy check information may include checking whether certain applications are allowed to initiate terminal-related perception measurements.

[0347] F11, Second indication information, the second indication information is used to indicate network support for terminal perception;

[0348] In some embodiments, for example, the second indication information may be used to indicate that the network allows the terminal to perceive; for example, the second indication information may also be used to indicate that the network does not allow the terminal to perceive; for example, the second indication information may also be used to indicate whether the network allows the terminal to perceive.

[0349] F12, Perception Mode;

[0350] In some embodiments, the sensing mode includes at least one of the following: terminal self-transmission and self-reception, one terminal transmitting and another terminal receiving, and terminal transmitting and network device receiving.

[0351] F13, Perception trigger condition;

[0352] F14, Perceive business requirements;

[0353] In some embodiments, the sensing service requirements include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following: sensing accuracy, sensing latency, and sensing resolution.

[0354] In some embodiments, the specific implementation of sending the perception parameter configuration information to the terminal includes:

[0355] The terminal sends a perception parameter configuration request, which is used to request the network to send perception parameter configuration information.

[0356] If the authorization check for the perception parameter configuration request passes, the perception parameter configuration information is sent to the terminal.

[0357] It should be noted that the perception parameter configuration information can be sent to the terminal by the first network element or sent based on the terminal's request. In the case of sending based on the terminal's request, the first network element needs to perform an authorization check on the perception parameter configuration request sent by the terminal. Only after the authorization check is passed will the first network element respond to the terminal's request and send the perception parameter configuration information to the terminal.

[0358] The following example illustrates the specific application of this embodiment, using the SM server as the first network element.

[0359] Application Scenario 1: The SM server in the application enablement layer acquires sensing measurement data from 3GPP networks and / or non-3GPP networks.

[0360] It should be noted that in this application scenario, the SM server of the application enablement layer obtains sensing-related information from the 3GPP network, the terminal (e.g., the SM (sensing management) client), and / or a third party. The specific implementation process is shown in Figure 2. It should be noted that the SM client is a client within the terminal that serves the application layer sensing information; the third party is a third party independent of the 3GPP network that can acquire or store sensing measurement data from non-3GPP networks; the SM server can be an independent network element / function, or it can be co-located with existing application enablement layer network elements / functions (such as the LM server).

[0361] The specific implementation process includes:

[0362] Step S21: The perception application server (VAL server) or VAL UE sends a first perception request to the SM server, carrying the service type (e.g., UAV detection, dynamic map, vehicle tracking, human sensory enhancement, action recognition, emergency event notification), perception target information (e.g., perception target type, perception target size, perception target material, perception target flight trajectory, perception target identifier, perception target location information, perception target quantity, terminal identifier), perception service requirements (e.g., perception target area information, perception accuracy, perception duration, perception latency, perception resolution, perception reliability, perception detection rate, perception false alarm rate, refresh rate), the conditions for triggering the perception request (real-time, periodic, event-triggered), and an indication of whether terminal perception is allowed, etc.

[0363] Step S22: The SM server performs an authorization check on the first perception request of the VAL server or VAL UE.

[0364] In some embodiments, the SM server can obtain terminal privacy check information from the UE and perform privacy checks. If the UE does not allow a certain type of service to obtain sensing measurement data or sensing results related to itself, the SM server rejects the sensing request of that type of service.

[0365] After the authorization check passes in step S23a, the SM server sends a perception request to the UE. The server can determine whether to send the request based on the perception request information (such as allowing the UE to perceive) and the perception capability information reported by the UE (as described in Implementation 5). This request is only applicable to target-oriented perception; that is, the SM server can determine the UE to which the request is being sent based on the target information (such as the UE identifier) ​​in the service perception request.

[0366] After the authorization check passes in step S23b, the SM server sends a sensing request to the 3GPP CN (e.g., NEF), requesting the 3GPP CN to execute the corresponding sensing process and release sensing measurement data to the SM server, as described in Application Scenarios 2 and 3 below. This request is applicable to both target-oriented and area-oriented sensing.

[0367] After step S23c, the authorization check is passed, the SM server sends a sensing request to a third party, such as third-party equipment and / or third-party network functions, requesting the third party to obtain sensing information from non-3GPP networks and make it available to the SM server. This request applies to both target-oriented and area-oriented sensing.

[0368] It should be noted that the SM server can decide whether to send a request to the UE, 3GPP CN, ​​or a third party, and to which NF to send the request, based on the awareness service request, pre-configuration, and operator policies.

[0369] It should be noted that, in practice, only one of steps S23a-S23c can be executed, or multiple steps can be executed.

[0370] In step S24a, when the conditions for triggering perception are met, the VAL UE triggers the corresponding perception process and acquires perception measurement data as required. The SM client sends the perception measurement data acquired by the UE to the SM server, carrying the confidence level.

[0371] In some embodiments, the sensing mode can be terminal self-transmission and self-reception, one terminal transmitting and another terminal receiving, terminal transmitting and base station receiving, etc.

[0372] It should be noted that step S24a corresponds to step S23a.

[0373] In step S24b, the 3GPP CN provides the corresponding sensing measurement data and confidence level to the SM server according to the service requirements.

[0374] It should be noted that step S24b corresponds to step S23b.

[0375] Step S24c: The third party returns the corresponding perception measurement data and confidence level according to the business requirements.

[0376] It should be noted that step S24c corresponds to step S23c.

[0377] Step S25: The SM server performs fusion sensing calculation based on the sensing measurement data obtained in the above steps, obtains the fusion sensing measurement results, and selects the first sensing result that meets the sensing service requirements (such as sensing accuracy, sensing resolution, and sensing latency) according to the sensing service requirements.

[0378] Step S26: The SM server sends the first sensing result that meets the sensing service requirements to the VAL server or VAL UE. If there is no first sensing result that meets the requirements, the message carries an error reason value.

[0379] Application Scenario 2: NEF Acquiring Sensing Results in a Tightly Coupled Architecture

[0380] It should be noted that this application scenario involves the application function (AF) acquiring sensing-related information from the 3GPP network, primarily applicable to tightly coupled 3GPP network architectures. The specific process is shown in Figure 3. It should be noted that the sensing function (SF) in Figure 3 can be an independent network element / function, or it may be shared with the location management function (LMF). Furthermore, the SF logical function may also be divided into two independent functional modules: SF-C (control-plane) and SF-U (user-plane).

[0381] The specific implementation process includes:

[0382] Step S31: The sensing application function (AF) (such as the Sensing Management server) sends a second sensing request to the NEF, carrying the service type (e.g., UAV detection, dynamic map, vehicle tracking, human sensory enhancement, action recognition, emergency event notification), sensing target information (e.g., sensing target type, sensing target size, sensing target material, sensing target flight trajectory, sensing target identifier, sensing target location information, sensing target quantity, terminal identifier), sensing service requirements (e.g., sensing target area information, sensing accuracy, sensing duration, sensing latency, sensing resolution, sensing reliability, sensing detection rate, sensing false alarm rate, refresh rate), the conditions for triggering the sensing request (real-time, periodic, event-triggered), and an indication of whether terminal sensing is allowed, etc.

[0383] Step S32: The NEF performs an authorization check on the AF's second sensing request. The authorization information can be stored locally in the NEF or the Unified Data Management (UDM). The NEF can request authorization verification from the UDM. For an architecture where the SF and LMF are co-located, the NEF sends the sensing request from the AF to the Gateway Mobile Location Centre (GMLC), and the GMLC and UDM perform the above authorization check. The GMLC then feeds back the result to the Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF).

[0384] Step S33: After NEF authorization is approved, the second perception request is sent to the AMF (the message may carry the NEF's address). If it is area-oriented perception, NEF selects the AMF serving the area based on the target area information in the AF request; if it is target-oriented perception, NEF selects the AMF serving the area / UE based on the target location information / UE information in the AF request.

[0385] Step S34: AMF selects SF.

[0386] In some embodiments, the AMF selects a suitable SF based on the requested target area information, target location information, UE identifier, load, and other information.

[0387] Step S35: AMF sends a second perception request to SF, which may carry the address of NEF.

[0388] Step S36: Based on different sensing modes (such as network device self-transmission and self-reception, terminal self-transmission and self-reception, terminal transmission and network device reception, etc.) and the indication issued by AF regarding whether terminal sensing is allowed, SF triggers the sensing process based on the base station and / or the terminal. The base station and / or the terminal perform sensing as required, and when the sensing triggering conditions are met, acquire the corresponding sensing measurement data (such as target size, location, speed, height, shape, material, etc.).

[0389] Step S37: The SF performs sensing calculations based on the sensing measurement data fed back by the base station and / or the terminal to obtain the final sensing result. If the SF and LMF are co-located, this function is implemented by the LMF.

[0390] Step S38: SF returns the perception response to AMF, carrying the final perception result.

[0391] In the architecture where SF and LMF are co-located, after LMF informs AMF of the perception results, AMF sends the perception results to NEF through GMLC.

[0392] It should be noted that if SF knows the address of NEF, it can directly send the calculated sensing results to NEF without going through AMF. Step S38 can be ignored.

[0393] Step S39: NEF sends the perception results to AF.

[0394] Application Scenario 3: NEF Acquiring Sensing Results in a Loosely Coupled Architecture

[0395] As shown in Figure 4, the specific implementation process includes:

[0396] Step S41 is the same as step S31 in application case two.

[0397] Step S42: Send a second sensing request to SF;

[0398] In some embodiments, the NEF performs an authorization check on the AF's service awareness request. If authorization is granted, if it is region-oriented awareness, the NEF selects a service provider (SF) to serve that region based on the target region information in the AF request; if it is target-oriented awareness, the NEF selects an SF to serve that region / UE based on the target location information / UE information, etc., in the AF request. The NEF then forwards the AF's second awareness request to the selected SF.

[0399] Step S43 is the same as step S36 in application case two.

[0400] Based on different sensing modes, SF triggers sensing procedures based on base stations and / or UEs. The base station and / or UE perform sensing as required, and acquire sensing measurement data when the sensing triggering conditions are met.

[0401] Step S44 is the same as step S37 in application case two.

[0402] In step S45, SF sends the sensing results to NEF, and NEF returns the results to AF.

[0403] Application Scenario 4: The application enabling layer opens up value-added sensing results to vertical applications.

[0404] In this application scenario, the application-enabled layer perception management server (SM server) can obtain precise perception analysis from network elements / functions with AI capabilities related to NWDAF, ADAES, AIMLE, or 6G, and after comprehensive statistics, provide value-added perception results to the application layer network elements.

[0405] The specific process is shown in Figure 5, including:

[0406] Step S51 is the same as step S11 in application case one;

[0407] Step S52: Acquire fused sensing measurement data;

[0408] Specifically, this step is implemented in the same way as steps S12 to S14 in application scenario one. The SM server has obtained the fused sensing measurement data reported from VAL UE, 3GPP CN and third parties.

[0409] Step S53a: The SM server requests the NWDAF to obtain the perception measurement analysis results (perception measurement analysis and prediction analysis, such as the flight trajectory of the UAV and flight trajectory prediction analysis).

[0410] That is, the SM server sends a third-party sensing request to the NWDAF and receives sensing measurement analysis and predictive analysis from the NWDAF.

[0411] In step S53b, the SM server requests perception measurement and analysis results from ADAES and / or AIMLE, such as perception accuracy analysis (e.g., vehicle position accuracy analysis) and perception reliability analysis.

[0412] That is, the SM server sends a third-party sensing request to ADAES and / or AIMLE, and receives sensing measurement analysis from ADAES and / or AIMLE.

[0413] In step S53c, the SM server requests the sensing measurement and analysis results from the 6G network element with AI analysis capabilities.

[0414] That is, the SM server sends a third-party sensing request to the 6G network element with AI analysis capabilities, and receives sensing measurement and analysis from the 6G network element with AI analysis capabilities.

[0415] It should be noted that, in practice, only one of the steps S53a-S53c can be executed, or multiple steps can be executed.

[0416] It should be noted that the SM server can decide whether to send a request to the NWDAF, ADAES, AIMLE, or 6G AI function NF, and to which specific NF to send the perception request, based on at least one of the first perception request, pre-configuration information, and operator policy information.

[0417] In step S54, the SM server performs comprehensive perception calculation and statistical analysis based on the perception measurement data obtained in step S52 and the perception measurement analysis results obtained in step S53 to obtain the second perception result.

[0418] In some embodiments, the SM server, in addition to meeting the sensing service requirements (such as sensing accuracy, sensing resolution, and sensing latency), provides value-added sensing results (i.e., second sensing results). These include, but are not limited to, providing sensing results statistically analyzed according to at least one dimension of time, location, altitude, direction, speed, and quantity; providing historical sensing results; providing sensing result prediction information; and providing sensing results in a unified format.

[0419] In step S55, the SM server sends the result that meets the perception service requirements and the second perception result to the VAL server.

[0420] Application Scenario 5: Reporting of Perception Capabilities

[0421] It should be noted that in this application scenario, the terminal (e.g., VAL UE / SM client) reports its perceived capabilities to help the SF and SM servers determine whether to initiate a UE-based perception process. The specific process is shown in Figure 6 (in some embodiments, this process also applies to the UE updating perception capabilities process), including:

[0422] In step S61, the SM Client sends a sensing capability reporting request to the SM server, carrying the terminal identifier and sensing capability information. The sensing capability information includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: first indication information indicating whether the terminal supports sensing, sensing modes supported by the terminal (such as self-transmission and self-reception by the terminal, one terminal transmitting and another terminal receiving, or the terminal transmitting and receiving from a network device), and terminal privacy check information (such as whether certain applications are allowed to initiate sensing measurements related to themselves).

[0423] Step S62: The SM server performs an authorization check on the SM Client's awareness capability reporting request.

[0424] Step S63: After authorization is granted, the SM server sends a capability reporting response to the SM Client.

[0425] In some embodiments, the SM server stores or updates the sensing capability information reported by the terminal.

[0426] Application Scenario 6: Sending Sensing Parameter Configuration Information

[0427] It should be noted that this application scenario involves the terminal (e.g., VAL UE / SM client) actively requesting the sensing parameter configuration information, or the network actively sending the sensing parameter configuration information. The specific process is shown in Figure 7 (this process only applies to target-oriented sensing), including:

[0428] Step S71: The SM Client sends a sensing parameter configuration request to the SM server, requesting the network to send sensing parameter configuration information for performing sensing operations.

[0429] Step S72: The SM server performs an authorization check on the SM Client's perception parameter configuration request.

[0430] Step S73: After authorization is granted, the SM server sends the corresponding perception parameter configuration information to the SM Client based on the business perception request.

[0431] For example, the SM server selects and distributes sensing parameter configuration information based on whether the terminal is allowed to sense, the sensing mode, the conditions for sensing triggering, and the sensing service requirements (such as sensing accuracy, latency, resolution, etc.).

[0432] Step S74: If the perception parameter configuration is updated, the SM server actively initiates a perception parameter configuration update request to the SM Client, informing it of the updated perception parameter configuration information.

[0433] In some embodiments, if the sensing parameter configuration information is sent proactively, steps S74 and S75 may be included only.

[0434] Step S75: The SM client stores or updates the received perception parameter configuration information and performs corresponding perception operations based on the issued perception parameter configuration information.
