请参考图1,其示出了本申请一个实施例提供的网络架构100的示意图。该网络架构100可以包括:终端设备10、接入网设备20和核心网网元30。
终端设备10可以指UE(User Equipment,用户设备)、接入终端、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置。可 选地,终端设备10还可以是蜂窝电话、无绳电话、SIP(Session Initiation Protocol,会话启动协议)电话、WLL(Wireless Local Loop,无线本地环路)站、PDA(Personal Digita1 Assistant,个人数字处理)、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备,5GS(5th Generation System,第五代移动通信系统)中的终端设备或者未来演进的PLMN(Pub1ic Land Mobi1e Network,公用陆地移动通信网络)中的终端设备等,本申请实施例对此并不限定。为方便描述,上面提到的设备统称为终端设备。终端设备10的数量通常为多个,每一个接入网设备20所管理的小区内可以分布一个或多个终端设备10。在本申请实施例中,“终端设备”和“UE”通常混用,但本领域技术人员可以理解其含义。
接入网设备20是一种部署在接入网中用以为终端设备10提供无线通信功能的设备。接入网设备20可以包括各种形式的宏基站,微基站,中继站,接入点等等。在采用不同的无线接入技术的系统中,具备接入网设备功能的设备的名称可能会有所不同,例如在5G NR系统中,称为gNodeB或者gNB。随着通信技术的演进,“接入网设备”这一名称可能会变化。为方便描述,本申请实施例中,上述为终端设备10提供无线通信功能的装置统称为接入网设备。可选地,通过接入网设备20,终端设备10和核心网网元30之间可以建立通信关系。示例性地,在LTE(Long Term Evolution,长期演进)系统中,接入网设备20可以是EUTRAN(Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network,演进的通用陆地无线网)或者EUTRAN中的一个或者多个eNodeB;在5G NR系统中,接入网设备20可以是RAN(Radio Access Network,无线接入网)或者RAN中的一个或者多个gNB。
核心网网元30是部署在核心网中的网元,核心网网元30的功能主要是提供用户连接、对用户的管理以及对业务完成承载,作为承载网络提供到外部网络的接口。例如,5G NR系统中的核心网网元可以包括AMF(Access and Mobility Management Function,接入和移动性管理功能)、UPF(User Plane Function,用户平面功能)和SMF(Session Management Function,会话管理功能)等网元。另外,核心网网元可以看作是功能实体,一台物理设备上可以部署一个或者多个核心网网元。
在一些实施例中,接入网设备20与核心网网元30之间通过某种空口技术互相通信,例如5G NR系统中的NG接口。接入网设备20与终端设备10之间通过某种空口技术互相通信,例如Uu接口。
本申请实施例中的“5G NR系统”也可以称为5G系统或者NR系统,但本领域技术人员可以理解其含义。本申请实施例描述的技术方案可以适用于LTE系统,也可以适用于5G NR系统,也可以适用于5G NR系统后续的演进系统,还可以适用于诸如NB-IoT(Narrow Band Internet of Things,窄带物联网)系统等其他通信系统,本申请对此不作限定。
在本申请实施例中,接入网设备可以为小区提供服务,终端设备通过该小区使用的载波上的传输资源(例如,频域资源,或者说,频谱资源)与接入网设备进行通信,该小区可以是接入网设备(例如基站)对应的小区,小区可以属于宏基站,也可以属于小小区(Small cell)对应的基站,这里的小小区可以包括:城市小区(Metro cell)、微小区(Micro cell)、微微小区(Pico cell)、毫微微小区(Femto cell)等,这些小小区具有覆盖范围小、发射功率低的特点,适用于提供高速率的数据传输服务。
请参考图2,其示出了本申请实施例提供的5GS(5th Generation System,第五代移动通信系统)的系统架构的示意图。如图2所示,该系统架构200可以包括:UE(也即上文介绍的“终端设备”)、(R)AN((Radio)Access Network,(无线)接入网)、Core(核心网)和DN(Data Network,数据网络)。其中,UE、(R)AN、Core是构成架构的主要成分,逻辑上它们可以分为用户面和控制面两部分,控制面负责移动网络的管理,用户面负责业务数据的传输。图中,NG2参考点位于(R)AN控制面和Core控制面之间,NG3参考点位于(R)AN用户面和Core用 户面之间,NG6参考点位于Core用户面和数据网络之间。
UE:是移动用户与网络交互的入口,能够提供基本的计算能力、存储能力,向用户显示业务窗口,接受用户操作输入。UE会采用下一代空口技术,与(R)AN建立信号连接、数据连接,从而传输控制信号和业务数据到移动网络。
(R)AN:类似于传统网络里面的基站,部署在靠近UE的位置,为特定区域的授权用户提供入网功能,并能够根据用户的级别,业务的需求等使用不同质量的传输隧道传输用户数据。(R)AN能够管理自身的资源,合理利用,按需为UE提供接入服务,把控制信号和用户数据在UE和核心网之间转发。
Core:负责维护移动网络的签约数据,管理移动网络的网元,为UE提供会话管理、移动性管理、策略管理、安全认证等功能。在UE附着的时候,为UE提供入网认证;在UE有业务请求时,为UE分配网络资源;在UE移动的时候,为UE更新网络资源;在UE空闲的时候,为UE提供快恢复机制:在UE去附着的时候,为UE释放网络资源;在UE有业务数据时,为UE提供数据路由功能,如转发上行数据到DN:或者从DN接收UE下行数据,转发到(R)AN,从而发送给UE。
DN:是为用户提供业务服务的数据网络,一般客户端位于UE,服务端位于数据网络。数据网络可以是私有网络,如局域网,也可以是不受运营商管控的外部网络,如Internet,还可以是运营商共同部署的专有网络,如为了配置IMS(IP Multimedia Core Network Subsystem,IP多媒体网络子系统)服务。
图3是在图2的基础上确定的详细架构,其中核心网用户面包括UPF(User Plane Function,用户面功能);核心网控制面包括AUSF(Authentication Server Function,认证服务器功能)、AMF、SMF,NSSF(Network Slice Selection Function,网络切片选择功能),NEF(Network Exposure Function,网络开放功能)、NRF(Network Repository Function,网络存储功能),UDM(Unified Data Management,统一数据管理),PCF(Policy Control Function,策略控制功能),AF(Application Function,应用功能)。
在图3所示架构中,UE通过Uu口与(R)AN进行AS(Access Stratum,接入层)连接,交互AS消息及无线数据传输,UE通过N1口与AMF进行NAS(Non Access Stratum,非接入层)连接,交互NAS消息。AMF是核心网中的移动性管理功能,SMF是核心网中的会话管理功能,AMF在对UE进行移动性管理之外,还负责将会话管理相关消息在UE和SMF之间的转发。PCF是核心网中的策略管理功能,负责制定对UE的移动性管理、会话管理、计费等相关的策略。UPF是核心网中的用户面功能,通过N6接口与外部数据网络进行数据传输,通过N3接口与(R)AN进行数据传输。
需要说明的是,图2和图3中的各个网元之间的接口名称只是一个示例,具体实现中接口的名称可能为其他的名称,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。图2和图3中包括的各个网元(比如SMF、AF、UPF等)的名称也仅是一个示例,对网元本身的功能不构成限定。在5GS以及未来其它的网络中,上述各个网元也可以是其他的名称,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。例如,在6G网络中,上述各个网元中的部分或全部可以沿用5G中的术语,也可能采用其他名称,等等,在此进行统一说明,以下不再赘述。此外,应理解,上述各个网元之间的所传输的消息(或信令)的名称也仅仅是一个示例,对消息本身的功能不构成任何限定。
现在的3GPP(3rd Generation Partnership Project,第三代合作伙伴计划)网络仅具有通信能力,如果未来蜂窝网络不但支持通信能力,还增加了感知能力,当应用将感知请求发送到3GPP网络的核心网,目前的核心网不具备选择正确的接入网设备或者终端设备,并触发其进行感知相关的无线测量的能力。因此无法根据应用功能的请求启动感知数据的测量和感知结果的产生。
如图4所示,本申请一示例性实施例在核心网中添加了感知控制网元和感知收集实体。 感知控制网元负责与AF之间的控制面消息交互,以及与运营商网络内部网元间的控制面消息交互。AF可以是运营商网络内部的应用网元,直接与感知控制网元交互,也可以是运营商网络外部的第三方应用,通过NEF与感知控制网元交互。感知收集实体负责收集感知数据,包括感知相关测量数据(例如无线信号测量数据),经过计算或者分析之后的感知结果。感知收集实体本身也可以根据收集到的感知相关测量数据进行计算或者分析,从而产生感知结果。
需要说明的是,上述感知控制网元可以是核心网中新增的网元,也可以是在核心网中的已有网元上的功能扩充,即对已有网元的功能进行扩充,使其具备上文介绍的感知控制网元所实现的功能。类似地,上述感知收集实体可以是核心网中新增的网元,也可以是在核心网中的已有网元上的功能扩充,即对已有网元的功能进行扩充,使其具备上文介绍的感知收集实体所实现的功能。另外,感知控制网元也可以称为“感知控制功能”、“感知控制实体”或者其他名称,本申请对此不作限定。感知收集实体也可以称为“感知收集网元”、“感知收集功能”或者其他名称,本申请对此不作限定。
在下文实施例中,第一核心网网元是用于负责与AF之间的控制面消息交互,以及与运营商网络内部网元间的控制面消息交互的网元,例如该第一核心网网元可以是图4所示架构中的感知控制网元。第二核心网网元可以是图4所示系统架构中的移动性管理网元,如5G系统中的AMF,其除了对终端设备进行移动性管理之外,还负责将消息在终端设备/接入网设备和其他核心网网元之间进行转发。第三核心网网元是用于负责收集感知数据的网元,例如该第三核心网网元可以是图4所示架构中的感知收集实体。
请参考图5,其示出了本申请一个实施例提供的感知控制方法的流程图。该方法可应用于上文图1至图4所介绍的系统架构中。该方法可以包括如下几个步骤(502~506)中的至少一个步骤:
步骤502,第一核心网网元接收来自AF的感知请求,该感知请求用于请求获取目标感知任务对应的感知结果。
在AF是运营商网络内部的设备的情况下,AF直接向第一核心网网元发送感知请求。AF可以根据存储的配置信息,确定接收感知请求的第一核心网网元。AF也可以从其他网元中查询获取接收感知请求的第一核心网网元。
在AF是运营商网络外部的设备的情况下,AF向NEF发送感知请求,以使得NEF将感知请求发送给第一核心网网元。NEF可以根据存储的配置信息,确定接收感知请求的第一核心网网元。NEF也可以从其他网元中查询获取接收感知请求的第一核心网网元。
示例性地,在5G系统中,上述其他网元可以是NRF。AF或者NEF在从其他网元中查询获取接收感知请求的第一核心网网元时,可以向该其他网元提供目标感知任务的相关信息,获得第一核心网网元的信息。可选地,第一核心网网元的信息包括以下中的至少一种,第一核心网网元的设备标识、第一核心网网元的IP(Internet Protocol,互联网协议)地址、第一核心网网元的域名信息。其中,域名信息可以是FQDN(Fully Qualified Domain Name,全称域名)等。
可选地,感知请求中包括目标感知任务的相关信息,如目标感知任务对应的感知类型等信息。其中,感知类型包括但不限于用户的动作或者手势识别、呼吸监测、终端移动速度测量、环境成像、天气监测等类型,感知类型可以结合实际情况进行划分,本申请对此不作限定。
步骤504,第一核心网网元根据感知请求,向一个或者多个第二核心网网元发送第一感知指令,该第一感知指令用于指示第二核心网网元控制接入网设备和/或终端设备执行目标感知任务。
可选地,第一感知指令中包括目标感知任务的相关信息,如目标感知任务对应的感知类型等信息。

可选地,接入网设备和/或终端设备可以直接将感知测量数据上报给第三核心网网元,由第三核心网网元对该感知测量数据进行计算或者分析,得到相应的感知结果。接入网设备和/或终端设备也可以对感知测量数据进行计算或者分析,得到相应的感知结果,然后将感知结果上报给第三核心网网元。以天气感知为例,在晴天、下雨等不同天气情况下,无线电磁波信号的测量值会有所不同,因此通过对某一地区的无线电磁波信号的测量值进行计算或者分析,可以推测出该地区的天气情况。
可选地,第三核心网网元可以根据收集到的与目标感知任务相关的感知数据,生成目标感知任务对应的最终感知结果。例如,第三核心网网元可以对收集到的感知测量数据进行计算或者分析,生成目标感知任务对应的最终感知结果。又例如,第三核心网网元可以综合从多方(如多个接入网设备和/或终端设备等)收集到的感知数据,生成目标感知任务对应的最终感知结果。
在本申请实施例中,核心网网元在接收到AF发来的感知请求之后,能够选择正确的接入网设备和/或终端设备,并触发其执行感知任务,保证了AF的感知请求能够被正确执行和响应,完善了蜂窝网络的感知能力。

又例如,第一核心网网元选择了服务于第一目标区域的多个第二核心网网元,不同的第二核心网网元可以分别用于服务第一目标区域中的不同子区域,那么第一核心网网元可以向选择的这些第二核心网网元分别发送第一感知指令,给其中的某一个第二核心网网元发送的第一感知指令中,包括的第二区域信息所指示的第二目标区域可以是第一目标区域中的一个子区域。
示例性地,第一核心网网元选择了服务于第一目标区域的2个第二核心网网元,记为网元A和网元B,其中网元A用于服务第一目标区域中的子区域1,网元B用于服务第一目标区域中的子区域2,子区域1和子区域2均为第一目标区域中的一部分区域,且子区域1和子区域2整合起来可以形成第一目标区域。第一核心网网元向网元A发送第一感知指令,该第一感知指令中的第二区域信息用于指示该网元A所需感知的子区域1。另外,第一核心网网元还向网元B发送第一感知指令,该第一感知指令中的第二区域信息用于指示该网元B所需感知的子区域2。
可选地,第一感知指令中还包括目标感知任务对应的感知类型。在第一核心网网元选择了服务于第一目标区域的多个第二核心网网元的情况下,如果目标感知任务对应的感知类型有且只有一种,那么第一核心网网元向选择的这些第二核心网网元分别发送的第一感知指令中,所包含的感知类型可以是同一种感知类型;如果目标感知任务对应的感知类型有多种,那么第一核心网网元向选择的这些第二核心网网元分别发送的第一感知指令中,所包含的感知类型可以相同,也可以不同,例如让不同的第二核心网网元负责处理不同的感知类型。
步骤608,第二核心网网元选择服务于第二目标区域的一个或者多个接入网设备。

又例如,第二核心网网元选择了服务于第二目标区域的多个接入网设备,不同的接入网设备可以分别用于服务第二目标区域中的不同子区域,那么第二核心网网元可以向选择的这些接入网设备分别发送第二感知指令,给其中的某一个接入网设备发送的第二感知指令中,包括的第三区域信息所指示的第三目标区域可以是第二目标区域中的一个子区域。
示例性地,第二核心网网元选择了服务于第二目标区域的2个接入网设备,记为基站A和基站B,其中基站A用于服务第二目标区域中的子区域A,基站B用于服务第二目标区域中的子区域B,子区域A和子区域B均为第二目标区域中的一部分区域,且子区域A和子区域B整合起来可以形成第二目标区域。第二核心网网元向基站A发送第二感知指令,该第二 感知指令中的第三区域信息用于指示该基站A所需感知的子区域A。另外,第二核心网网元还向基站B发送第二感知指令,该第二感知指令中的第三区域信息用于指示该基站B所需感知的子区域B。
可选地,第二感知指令中还包括目标感知任务对应的感知类型。在第二核心网网元选择了服务于第二目标区域的多个接入网设备的情况下,如果目标感知任务对应的感知类型有且只有一种,那么第二核心网网元向选择的这些接入网设备分别发送的第二感知指令中,所包含的感知类型可以是同一种感知类型;如果目标感知任务对应的感知类型有多种,那么第二核心网网元向选择的这些接入网设备分别发送的第二感知指令中,所包含的感知类型可以相同,也可以不同,例如让不同的接入网设备负责处理不同的感知类型。

步骤710,在确定启动终端设备执行目标感知任务的情况下,第二核心网网元向目标终端设备发送第四感知指令,该第四感知指令用于指示目标终端设备执行感知操作。
可选地,第四感知指令通过NAS消息发送,从而实现将第四感知指令直接从第二核心网网元发送至终端设备。
可选地,第四感知指令中包括目标感知任务对应的感知类型,以便于终端设备获知需要执行何种类型的感知任务。
