The following describes a data transmission method provided by the embodiment of the present invention with reference to the communication system shown in fig. 1, taking an access network device as a New Radio (NR) as an example.

As shown in fig. 4, the data transmission method includes the contents of the following steps S11 to S13:

s11, NR acquires the transmission data received in the current period. The transmission data at least comprise echo data for sensing and data to be processed reported by a terminal in a coverage area, the data to be processed comprises communication data and/or sensing data, and the sensing data at least comprises control plane sensing data.

In some examples, the transmission data includes 6 cases as follows:

1. the terminal uploads communication data, and the terminal does not upload sensing data, and the NR passively collects echo data for perception. In this case, the transmission data includes communication data uploaded by the terminal and echo data for perception by NR.

2. The terminal uploads communication data and perception data, and the NR passively collects echo data for perception. In this case, the transmission data includes communication data uploaded by the terminal, sensing data, and echo data for sensing by NR.

3. The terminal does not upload communication data and the terminal does not upload sensing data and the NR passively collects echo data for perception. In this case, only the echo data for which NR is used for sensing is contained in the transmission data.

4. The terminal does not upload communication data, but the terminal uploads sensing data and the NR passively collects echo data for sensing. In this case, the transmission data includes the sensing data uploaded by the terminal and echo data used for sensing by NR.

Specifically, the sensing information data acquired by the terminal includes contact sensing data and non-contact sensing data. Wherein, the sensing data of the contact type comprises body temperature, heartbeat, blood pressure and the like. The sensing data in non-contact needs the terminal to actively send a signal for sensing the surrounding environment to the surrounding environment, the signal is reflected after encountering an obstacle, at this time, the terminal can receive an echo signal returned by the signal due to emission, and the signal is obtained after statistics, for example: images, ambient temperature, ambient humidity, location information, altitude, etc.

S12, NR determines a first total data volume according to a first data volume of data transmitted to a control surface network element in a current period and a second data volume of echo data under the condition that the data to be processed only comprises communication data; or, if the data to be processed contains the sensing data, the NR determines the second total data amount according to the first data amount, the second data amount and the third data amount of the control plane sensing data.

In some examples, the total control plane data amount (e.g., the first total data amount and the second total data amount) needs to be calculated without changing the upstream and downstream fiber ratio because the control plane data needs to be reported to the control plane network element. Wherein, the liquid crystal display device comprises a liquid crystal display device,

Or alternatively, the process may be performed,

wherein, the liquid crystal display device comprises a liquid crystal display device,

representing a first total data quantity->

Representing a second total data volume,/->

A first data quantity representing the transmission of data to the control plane network element of the current period NR +.>

A second data amount representing echo data received by the current period NR,

a third data amount of control plane perceived data reported by all terminals representing the coverage of NR through PUCCH, N representing the total number of terminals of the coverage of NR, N E [1, N]N and N are integers.

And S13, NR determines that the first total data amount is smaller than a preset threshold value or the second total data amount is smaller than the preset threshold value, and sends transmission data to the control plane network element.

In some examples, the preset threshold is a nominal amount of data for an interface between the NR and the control plane network element. Therefore, when the NR determines that the first total data amount is smaller than the preset threshold value or the second total data amount is smaller than the preset threshold value, the control plane network element has more residual computing resources, so that the control plane network element can perform data on the sensing data to ensure the utilization rate of the resources.

As can be seen from the foregoing, according to the data transmission method provided by the present invention, the NR can determine, in real time, a first data amount of data transmitted to the control plane network element in the current period, a second data amount of echo data, and a third data amount of control plane sensing data according to the transmission data received in the current period, where the first data amount, the second data amount of echo data, and the third data amount of control plane sensing data correspond to the second total data amounts. Then, the NR determines a network element that processes the awareness data based on a magnitude relation of the first total data amount and a preset threshold, or based on a magnitude relation of the second total data amount and a preset threshold. Such as: and when the NR determines that the first total data quantity is smaller than the preset threshold value, transmitting transmission data to the control plane network element, and processing the perception data by the control plane network element at the moment, thereby solving the problem of how to select the network element for processing the perception data according to the actual requirement by the base station in the converged communication.

In one example, the awareness data further includes user plane awareness data; referring to fig. 4, as shown in fig. 5, the data transmission method provided by the embodiment of the present invention further includes S14 and S15.

S14, NR determines that the first total data volume is larger than a preset threshold value, and determines a third total data volume according to the fourth data volume and the second data volume of the data transmitted to the user plane network element in the current period when the data to be processed only comprises the communication data volume. Or, if the NR determines that the second total data amount is greater than the preset threshold and the data to be processed includes the perceived data, determining the fourth total data amount according to the fourth data amount, the second data amount, and the fifth data amount of the perceived data of the user plane.

In some examples, in combination with the example given in S13 above, the NR determines that the first total data amount is greater than the preset threshold, or the second total data amount is greater than the preset threshold, which indicates that the remaining computing resources of the current control plane network element are less, so as to ensure the processing progress of the perceived data. At this point, the NR needs to reselect a new network element that handles the awareness data. Such as: the NR determines whether the user plane network element is capable of handling the awareness data. Because the user plane data needs to be reported to the user plane network element, the total user plane data volume (such as the third total data volume and the fourth total data volume) needs to be calculated under the condition that the uplink and downlink optical fiber ratio is not changed. Wherein, the liquid crystal display device comprises a liquid crystal display device,

Or alternatively, the process may be performed,

representing a third total data volume,/->

Representing a fourth total data volume,/->

A fourth data quantity representing the transmission of data to the user plane network element of the current period NR +.>

A second data amount representing echo data received by the current period NR,

the fifth data quantity of user plane perceived data reported by all terminals of the coverage of NR through PUSCH, N represents the total number of terminals of the coverage of NR, N E [1, N]N and N are integers.

And S15, NR determines that the third total data amount is smaller than the target threshold value or the fourth total data amount is smaller than the target threshold value, and sends transmission data to the user plane network element.

In some examples, the target threshold is a nominal amount of data for an interface between the NR and the user plane network element. Therefore, when the NR determines that the third total data amount is smaller than the target threshold or the fourth total data amount is smaller than the target threshold, the NR indicates that the user plane network element has more residual computing resources, so that the user plane network element can perform data on the perceived data to ensure the utilization rate of the resources.

In one example, the communication data includes quality of service (Quality of Service, qoS) priority; referring to fig. 5, as shown in fig. 6, the data transmission method provided by the embodiment of the present invention further includes S16 and S17.

S16, NR determines that the Qos priority in the coverage area is greater than or equal to the target terminal of the target priority under the condition that the third total data volume is greater than the target threshold or the fourth total data volume is greater than the target threshold.

In some examples, in combination with the example given in S15 above, the NR determines that the third total data amount is greater than the target threshold, or that the fourth total data amount is greater than the target threshold, which indicates that the current user plane network element has less remaining computing resources, in order to ensure a processing progress of the perceived data. Therefore, the NR needs to screen the perceived data to be processed, for example, according to the Qos priority of the terminal, the target terminal with the Qos priority greater than or equal to the target priority is screened, so that the total data amount of perceived data to be processed by the user plane network element can be reduced, and the user experience is ensured.

And S17, the NR sends echo data and reported data to be processed of the target terminal to the user plane network element.

It should be noted that, since the NR determines that the third total data amount is greater than the target threshold, or the NR determines that the fourth total data amount is greater than the target threshold, the NR needs to screen the perceived data to be processed, for example, screen the target terminals with Qos priorities greater than or equal to the target priorities according to the Qos priorities of the terminals. At this time, in the process of sending transmission data to the user plane network element, the NR only sends part of the transmission data, such as echo data and reported data to be processed of the target terminal. Therefore, the transmission data only comprises the echo data and the perception data reported by the target terminal, so that the total data quantity of the perception data which needs to be processed by the user plane network element can be reduced, and the user experience is ensured.

The following describes a data transmission method provided by the embodiment of the present invention with reference to the communication system shown in fig. 1, taking a control plane network element as an AMF as an example.

As shown in fig. 7, the data transmission method includes the contents of the following steps S21 to S24:

s21, AMF receives the transmission data sent by NR.

In some examples, the AMF stores the received transmission data in real time to ensure subsequent use.

S22, AMF determines the NR used for sensing echo data in the transmission data and the data to be processed reported by the terminal in the coverage area of NR. Wherein the data to be processed comprises communication data and/or perception data.

In some examples, the transmission data includes echo data for sensing and pending data reported by terminals within the coverage area. There are also differences in the manner in which AMF is processed for different data. Therefore, after the AMF receives the transmission data sent by the access network device, the distinction needs to be made between the echo data used for sensing in the transmission data and the data to be processed reported by the terminal in the coverage area of the access network device, so as to determine the echo data used for sensing in the transmission data and the data to be processed reported by the terminal in the coverage area of the access network device. And then, the AMF sends the communication data in the transmission data to the next-stage network element.

In some examples, the echo data and the data to be processed correspond to different data identifications. And the AMF determines echo data and data to be processed according to the data identification. Or the echo data and the data to be processed are transmitted to the AMF through data packets with different formats, and the AMF can determine the echo data and the data to be processed according to the formats of the data packets.

S23, the AMF sends the communication data to the next-stage network element under the condition that the data to be processed contains the communication data.

In some examples, the procedure of the AMF for processing the communication data (authentication, mobility management, etc.) is the same as the procedure of the AMF for processing the communication data in the prior art, and will not be described herein.

S24, under the condition that the data to be processed only comprise communication data, the AMF processes the echo data to determine a first perception result. Or, if the data to be processed contains the sensing data, the AMF processes the echo data and the sensing data to determine a second sensing result.

In some examples, the AMF analyzes the collected sensing data within a period of time, may be based on a time point or may be based on superposition of multiple time point data, and performs operations such as sensing, positioning, imaging and the like on the superposed sensing data, so as to determine a sensing result.

Such as: the echo data and the perception data contain received signal strength indicators (Received Signal Strength Indication, RSSI). At this time, in the case where the data to be processed contains only communication data, the AMF may perform processing according to the echo data to determine the position of the terminal or NR. Or the AMF processes the echo data and the perception data to obtain the position of the terminal or NR when the to-be-processed data contains the perception data.

Specifically, the procedure for determining the location of the terminal or NR is as follows:

the RSSI of the signal receiving end is inversely proportional to the distance between the receiving end and the transmitting end, so that the distance can be estimated through the signal strength and further used for positioning calculation. By establishing a related description model for the path loss, the distance relation between the received signal power and the receiving and transmitting ends in different scenes can be accurately described.

Wherein P is _r (d) Represents the received signal power, P (d) ₀ ) Represents the distance d ₀ The standard power parameter in the time, eta represents the loss coefficient and epsilon represents the environmental impact factor.

Then, the position of the terminal or NR is determined based on the obtained signal power.

It should be noted that, the positioning method based on RSSI is usually used in the near field communication positioning scenarios such as bluetooth and wifi, and the loss coefficient of the signal transmission path is different in different environmental scenarios, and a unified model cannot be built to describe all scenarios, and the model may be invalid due to the change of the scenarios.

From the above, according to the data transmission method provided by the present invention, after the NR determines that the AMF processes the perceived data, the NR sends the transmission data to the AMF. After the AMF receives the transmission data sent by the NR, there is a difference in the processing mode due to different data needs. Therefore, the AMF needs to parse the transmission data to determine echo data for NR to perceive and data to be processed reported by the terminal in the coverage area of the NR. Then, the AMF sends the communication data to the next-stage network element under the condition that the data to be processed contains the communication data, so that the next-stage network element processes the communication data of the terminal after receiving the communication data; the AMF processes the echo data to determine a perception result under the condition that the data to be processed only contains communication data; or, if the data to be processed contains the sensing data, the AMF processes the echo data and the sensing data to determine a sensing result. The method solves the problem of how to select the network element for processing the perception data according to the actual demand by the base station in the converged communication.

The following describes a data transmission method provided by the embodiment of the present invention with reference to the communication system shown in fig. 1, taking a user plane network element as a UPF as an example.

As shown in fig. 5, the data transmission method includes the contents of the following steps S31 to S34:

s31, the UPF receives transmission data sent by NR.

In some examples, the UPF stores the received transmission data in real time to ensure subsequent use.

S32, UPF determines echo data for sensing by NR in the transmission data and data to be processed reported by a terminal in the coverage area of NR. Wherein the data to be processed comprises communication data and/or perception data.

In some examples, the transmission data includes echo data for sensing and pending data reported by terminals within the coverage area. There are also differences in the way the UPF is handled for different data. Therefore, after receiving the transmission data sent by the access network device, the UPF needs to distinguish the echo data used for sensing in the transmission data from the data to be processed reported by the terminal in the coverage area of the access network device, so as to determine the echo data used for sensing in the transmission data and the data to be processed reported by the terminal in the coverage area of the access network device. And then, the UPF sends the communication data to the data network element under the condition that the data to be processed contains the communication data.

In some examples, the echo data and the data to be processed correspond to different data identifications. And the UPF determines echo data and data to be processed according to the data identification. Or the echo data and the data to be processed are transmitted to the UPF through data packets with different formats, and the UPF can determine the echo data and the data to be processed according to the formats of the data packets.

And S33, the UPF sends the communication data to the data network element under the condition that the data to be processed contains the communication data.

S34, processing the echo data by the UPF under the condition that the data to be processed only comprises communication data so as to determine a third perception result. Or if the data to be processed contains the perception data, the UPF processes the echo data and the perception data to determine a fourth perception result.

In some examples, the UPF analyzes the collected sensory data over a period of time, may be based on a time point or may be based on a superposition of multiple time point data, and performs operations such as sensing, positioning, imaging, etc. on the superposed sensory data, so as to determine a sensing result.

Specifically, in combination with the example given in S24 above, the processing procedure for processing the echo data to determine the sensing result when the data to be processed includes only the communication data is similar to the processing procedure for processing the echo data to determine the sensing result when the AMF includes only the communication data when the data to be processed includes only the communication data, which is not described herein.

Specifically, in combination with the example given in S24 above, the processing procedure for processing the echo data and the sensing data to determine the sensing result when the data to be processed includes the sensing data by the UPF is similar to the processing procedure for processing the echo data and the sensing data to determine the sensing result when the data to be processed includes the sensing data by the AMF, which is not described herein.

From the above, according to the data transmission method provided by the present invention, after the NR determines that the UPF processes the perceived data, the NR sends the transmission data to the UPF. After the UPF receives the transmission data sent by the NR, the processing modes are different due to different data. Therefore, the UPF needs to parse the transmission data to determine echo data for sensing by the NR and communication data and sensing data reported by terminals within the coverage area of the NR. And then, the UPF sends the communication data to the data network element under the condition that the data to be processed contains the communication data. Processing the echo data by the UPF under the condition that the data to be processed only comprises communication data so as to determine a perception result; or if the data to be processed contains the perception data, the UPF processes the echo data and the perception data to determine a perception result. The method solves the problem of how to select the network element for processing the perception data according to the actual demand by the base station in the converged communication.
