Problem
The challenge of reducing sensing resource overheads in large-scale sensing services is significant, as existing systems often require multiple sensing control requests for each service, leading to inefficiencies and increased resource utilization.
Innovation Solution
A communication method that classifies sensing requirements into N types, allowing for a single sensing control request to obtain N types of sensing measurement data, thereby reducing the number of control requests and optimizing resource usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the sensing function sends one sensing control request for each sensing service request, then each sensing service can be handled individually, but the number of control requests increases significantly, leading to increased signaling resource overheads
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple sensing control requests into a single aggregated request. The sensing function groups multiple sensing service requests that share common sensing requirements (such as same sensing target, same measurement parameters, same time window) and combines them into one control request, thereby reducing the total number of control requests while ensuring all sensing services are properly handled.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal sensing control request template that can serve multiple sensing services simultaneously. This control request structure is designed to accommodate different sensing services with varying requirements by including flexible parameter fields, allowing one control request to fulfill multiple service purposes without needing separate specialized requests for each service.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple sensing control requests are sent to handle different sensing services, then each service receives dedicated control, but the signaling resource overheads increase due to repeated transmission of similar control information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple sensing control requests that contain similar or identical control information into a single aggregated request. By merging requests with common sensing parameters, target information, and measurement configurations, the system eliminates redundant signaling transmissions while preserving the ability to customize control for different sensing services through included service-specific parameters.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary classification and grouping of sensing service requests before generating control requests. By pre-organizing services with similar requirements into groups and preparing aggregated control information in advance, the system reduces the need for repeated signaling transmissions and minimizes signaling resource overheads while maintaining service-specific adaptability.

AI summary
Related to the field of communication technologies, embodiments include a communication method and apparatus to reduce sensing resource overheads. In the method, a sensing function or a sensing device may obtain N classification results by classifying sensing requirements of M sensing services. Each classification result includes a sensing requirement of at least one of the M sensing services. Therefore, the sensing device may obtain, by performing N types of sensing operations, sensing measurement data required by each of the M sensing services. In this way, sensing resource overheads can be reduced, and sensing efficiency can be improved.
