Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication systems, particularly in future mobile communication systems like B5G and 6G, face challenges in implementing a quality of service (QoS) interaction process for sensing capabilities, which are essential for precise sensing services, especially with the deployment of high-frequency bands like millimeter wave and terahertz frequencies.

The method involves obtaining and determining sensing QoS information related to sensing data transmission, which includes configuration parameters such as priority, type, resource type, packet delay budget, and error rate, to establish and modify sensing data transmission channels, ensuring that sensing nodes can effectively report measurement quantities and meet the required QoS for sensing services.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If sensing QoS information is obtained and configuration information is determined for sensing data transmission, then the precision and reliability of sensing capabilities are improved, but the device complexity and network function coordination requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the sensing system into distinct functional instances: a sensing function instance that handles sensing data transmission and QoS parameter management, and a first network function instance that manages channel establishment and modification. This segmentation allows each instance to specialize in specific tasks, improving sensing precision while distributing complexity across multiple manageable components rather than concentrating it in a single complex device
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism through the sensing function instance that acts as a mediator between the sensing data transmission process and the network function instance. This intermediary handles the conversion and coordination of QoS information, allowing the system to achieve high sensing precision without requiring direct complex interactions between all system components, thereby reducing overall device complexity
2Reliability
If sensing data transmission channels are established and modified based on QoS information, then the reliability of sensing services is improved, but the network function coordination and processing overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by having the sensing function instance obtain QoS information and determine configuration information before actual sensing data transmission begins. The configuration information is prepared in advance, including parameters for channel establishment. This preliminary preparation ensures that when the sensing data transmission channel needs to be established or modified, the network function instance can do so efficiently with pre-determined parameters, improving reliability while reducing real-time coordination complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamics through the ability of the first network function instance to establish and modify sensing data transmission channels based on the determined configuration information. This dynamic capability allows the system to adapt channel parameters in response to changing QoS requirements, improving sensing service reliability. The dynamic modification is guided by pre-determined configuration information, which reduces the complexity of real-time network function coordination by providing a structured framework for adjustments
