由于无线保真(wireless fidelity,Wi-Fi)设备的广泛部署以及感知(Sensing)需求的增加,利用普遍易获得的Wi-Fi设备进行感知是目前研究的热点。在日常生活中,Wi-Fi设备发出的信号通常会经由各种障碍物的反射、衍射以及散射才被接收,这种现象使得实际接收到的信号往往是多路信号的叠加。因此,无线信号可以感知其所经过的物理环境,通过分析被各种障碍物“调制”过的无线信号,即可推断周围环境,由此衍生出无线局域网(wireless local area network,WLAN)感知(sensing)技术。WLAN sensing是一项具有广阔应用前景的技术,它可以利用现在已经广泛部署的Wi-Fi设备发送特定的数据或通信信道探测帧对周围环境进行感知,然后接收信号回波或无线网络中对端设备产生的反馈信息,再通过一定的算法提取接收信号中的相应参数进行分析,即可获取周围的环境信息。
802.11bf标准定义的感知过程(sensing procedure)主要分为5类环节:感知会话建立(sensing session setup),测量建立(measurement setup),测量实体(measurement instance),测量建立终止(measurement setup termination),感知会话终止(sensing session termination)。其中,测量建立主要用于感知发起端(sensing initiator)与感知响应端(sensing responder)交换和统一某些在感知过程中需要使用的参数/特征等。因为感知过程中一个感知发起端与一个感知响应端可能会交换和统一多组在感知过程中使用的参数/特征,所以为了清晰识别,提出给测量建立标号的方式来区分在感知过程中使用的不同组参数/特征。
因为目前802.11bf协议不支持两个非接入点站点(non-access point station,non-AP STA)间的感知,所以在感知过程中存在一种特殊场景,即:某个站点(station,STA)想要让接入点(access point,AP)帮助完成与其他感知响应端的测量。为便于描述,本文将此特殊场景称为代理感知场景。因此,在代理感知场景中如何标识测量建立是值得考虑的问题。

下面从不同的方面介绍本申请,应理解的是,下面的不同方面的实施方式和有益效果可以互相参考。
第一方面,本申请提供一种测量建立标识确定方法,该方法还包括:代理感知发起端(AP)获取第一测量建立参数,并向感知响应端(STA3)发送第一信息;该第一信息中包括该第一测量建立参数和第一测量建立标识。该第一测量建立参数包括该代理感知发起端(AP)与感知响应端(STA3)在代理感知过程中使用的参数。该第一测量建立标识用于标识该第一测量 建立参数。该第一测量建立标识与代理感知发起端(AP)中已使用的测量建立标识不相同。
可选的,代理感知发起端(AP)获取第一测量建立参数之前,请求STA(STA1)请求AP作为其代理(proxy)来进行感知测量。
可选的,感知响应端(STA3)接收到该第一信息后,为第一测量建立参数和第一测量建立标识建立关联关系,以使后续感知测量过程中通过第一测量建立标识可以唯一索引到该第一测量建立参数。

下面对本申请涉及到的一些相关内容、术语或名词进行简要介绍。
一、感知过程中涉及到的四个角色
感知发起端(Sensing initiator):发起一个感知过程的站点(a STA that initiates a WLAN sensing procedure)。
感知响应端(Sensing responder):参与一个由感知发起端发起的感知过程的站点(a STA that participates in a WLAN sensing procedure initiated by a sensing initiator)。
感知发送端(Sensing transmitter):在感知过程内发送用于感知测量的物理层(physical layer,PHY)协议数据单元(PHY protocol data unit,PPDU)的站点(a STA that transmits PPDUs used for sensing measurements in a sensing procedure)。
感知接收端(Sensing receiver):在感知过程内接收感知发送端发送的PPDU且进行感知测量的站点(a STA that receives PPDUs sent by a sensing transmitter and performs sensing measurements in a sensing procedure)。
二、感知过程(sensing procedure)
感知过程主要分为5类环节:
感知会话建立(sensing session setup):表示站点间建立一个感知会话。相关的一些参数可以在此环节交互。应理解,感知会话是一个感知发起端和一个感知响应端达成的两个站点间的协议。一个感知发起端可以与多个感知响应端保持感知会话,但多个感知会话仍然需要一一建立,比如可以通过正交频分多址(orthogonal frequency division multiple access,OFDMA)方式、多用户-多输入多输出(multi-user multiple input multiple output,MU-MIMO)方式同时建立多个感知会话等。
测量建立(measurement setup):用于感知发起端与感知响应端交换和统一某些在感知过程中需要使用的参数或特征等,如:感知发起端、感知响应端的角色(如感知发起端在感知测量时是感知发送端还是感知接收端,感知响应端在感知测量时是感知发送端还是感知接收端)、测量反馈类型等参数。
测量实体(measurement instance):感知测量在测量实体中发生,一个测量实体允许多个感知响应端的加入。
测量建立终止(measurement setup termination):用于终止某个感知响应端对应的测量建立,以及该感知响应端不再与对应的测量建立绑定,但该感知响应端可以仍在感知会话中。
感知会话终止(sensing session termination):表示感知会话的终止,站点不再参与感知测量(sensing measurement)等过程。
为了更清晰的说明上述感知过程如何运作,下面结合附图进行说明。
参见图1,图1是本申请实施例提供的感知过程的示意图。如图1所示,图1所示的感知过程包括16个环节,这16个环节仅是示例,在时间上可以是非连续的,比如环节6和环节7之间还可以有其他环节,图1中未示出。应理解,图1仅是示例,实际应用中感知过程的环节可以多于或少于图1所示出的环节。环节1表示将介质接入控制(medium access control,MAC)地址为A、关联标识符(association identifier,AID)为1的站点加入感知会话,即感知会话建立过程。环节2表示为该站点配置感知过程中需要使用的相关参数,即感 知测量建立;应理解,在环节2中为了清晰识别不同的测量建立,采用给感知测量建立标号的方式,即measurement setup ID=1。本申请中测量建立标识(measurement setup ID)可以理解为用于标识感知发起端与感知响应端交换和统一在感知过程中需要使用的一组参数或一组特征。环节3为测量实体,一个测量实体与一个感知测量建立标识(measurement setup ID)对应,也就是说一个测量实体与一组参数或特征(这一组参数或特征用于感知测量)绑定,因此在该测量实体中可以对AID=1的站点进行测量,每个测量实体也有对应的标号。综上,环节1、2、3的作用是将站点加入感知会话并开始测量与反馈。
环节4表示又有一个测量实体发生,为与前面的测量实体区别,这里测量实体的标识+1,即变成了测量建立1下的测量实体1。环节5和6与环节2和3类似,用于为AID=1的站点配置感知过程中需要使用的另一组相关参数,即配置测量建立2并进行测量与反馈。
环节7、8、9与环节1、2、3类似,将未关联站点标识(Unassociated STA ID,UID)等于2的站点加入感知会话,并为UID=2的站点配置感知过程中需要使用的该另一组相关参数(即赋予UID=2的站点测量建立2),并在其后发生测量实体。
环节10表示将AID=1的站点与测量建立2解绑(即将AID=1的站点与该另一组相关参数解绑);此时AID=1的站点仍然与测量建立1绑定。环节11和12表示为UID=2的站点配置Measurement setup ID=1的参数。
环节13表示AID=1的站点退出感知会话。
环节14、15、16与环节1、2、3类似,表示将AID=3的站点加入感知会话且绑定Measurement setup ID=2,因此在环节16中可以看到测量实体中AID=3与UID=2的站点可以同时参与感知测量与反馈。
感知会话建立、测量建立、测量建立终止、以及感知会话终止这四类环节均属于一对一的建立环节。以感知会话建立环节为例,一个感知会话建立对应一个感知发起端与一个感知响应端。当然,感知发起端也可以同时与多个站点建立感知会话,如采用OFDMA或MU-MIMO等形式,但这属于同时建立了多个感知会话。
测量实体环节与上述四类环节不相同,一个测量实体中可能有一对多的情况发生,如一对多的声明与触发等。
测量实体可以分为基于触发的感知测量实体(TB sensing measurement instance)与非基于触发的感知测量实体(Non-TB sensing measurement instance)。
其中,基于触发的感知测量实体包括如下阶段:询问阶段(Polling phase)、空数据分组声明(null data packet announcement,NDPA)探测阶段(NDPA sounding)、触发帧(trigger frame,TF)探测阶段(TF sounding),报告阶段等。在NDP声明探测阶段中,感知发起端可以通过NDPA(NDP announcement)来告知对应站点紧随其后感知发起端将会发送一个NDP。NDPA用于通知需要侦听NDP的站点和其他配置信息,对应站点可以测量后面发送的NDP来获知信道信息。而在触发帧探测阶段中,感知发起端可以通过触发帧来触发对端进行NDP的传输,并对传输的NDP进行测量从而进行感知。另外,询问阶段的作用是确认被询问的站点可以参与本次测量实体中的测量与反馈。
而对于非基于触发的感知测量实体,可以通过发送NDPA等来引出对端NDP的发送。
三、感知过程中测量建立标识(measurement setup ID)的设置
本申请中测量建立标识(measurement setup ID)可以用于标识感知发起端与感知响应端交换和统一在感知过程中需要使用的一组参数或一组特征。
两个设备间的measurement setup ID可以由感知发起端来设定。参见图2,图2是本申请实施例提供的测量建立标识的设置示意图。如图2所示,图2示出了当感知发起端不同时,测量建立标识的设置。以图2从左到右的第二个虚线框和第四个虚线框为例,在图2从左到右的第二个虚线框中AP作为感知发起端,在图2从左到右的第四个虚线框中STA1作为感知发起端。AP与STA1之间的measurement setup ID都可以为1,即使measurement setup ID所标识的参数或特征不一致。这是因为感知发起端所发送的PPDU中的地址字段携带有感知发起端的MAC地址(MAC Address),感知响应端通过识别<感知发起端的MAC地址,measurement setup ID>可以区分是不同的测量建立。所以尽管AP和STA1间都用了同样的measurement setup ID,感知响应端也可以区分而不会产生矛盾。即感知响应端可以通过<AP的MAC Address,measurement setup ID=1>和<STA1的MAC Address,measurement setup ID=1>来区分AP与STA1间的测量建立。
应理解,对于图2示出的两个设备间的会话建立,可以有两种方式。以图2中AP与STA1间的会话建立为例,AP与STA1间的会话建立可以是以AP为感知发起端建立的感知会话,也可以是以STA1为感知发起端建立的感知会话。那么图2从左到右的第三个虚线框表示的测量建立既可以是以AP为感知发起端建立感知会话后出现,也可以是在以STA1为感知发起端建立感知会话后出现。也就是说,本申请实施例不限制具体的会话建立方式,或者说本申请实施例不限制会话建立过程中的感知发起端与测量建立过程中的感知发起端一定相同,也不限制一定不相同。
因为目前协议不支持两个非接入点站点(non-access point station,non-AP STA)间的感知,所以在感知过程中存在一种特殊场景,即:某个STA想要让AP帮助完成与其他感知响应端的测量。例如,某个房间中的一个设备想要让AP帮助其反馈家中所有房间中与该AP相连的设备的信道状态信息(channel state information,CSI)。这种特殊场景称为代理感知场景。
为了在感知过程中支持这种特殊的场景(即支持代理感知场景),提出了一种代理感知流程。参见图3,图3是本申请实施例提供的代理感知场景的示意图。如图3所示,代理感知场景包括请求STA(如图3中的STA1),代理(如图3中的AP)/代理AP(proxy AP),感知响应端(如图3中的STA2和/或STA3)。结合图3所示的代理感知场景,代理感知流程可以描述为:一个请求STA(requesting STA,或者说代理感知请求站点(SBP requesting STA),SBP=sensing by proxy)可以请求AP作为其代理来进行测量;AP与感知响应端(如STA2或STA3)进行感知;AP将感知信息报告给该请求STA。其中,AP与请求STA之间的感知过程可以存在,也可以不存在。当AP与请求STA之间的感知过程存在时,在此感知过程中请求STA也可以作为感知响应端。
本申请中请求STA可以理解为初始感知发起端,AP可以理解为代理感知发起端(或直接简称为“代理(proxy)”)。
在上述图3所示的代理感知场景中,当AP既参与非代理的感知(如AP自身作为感知发起端与STA3进行感知),也参与代理的感知(如AP作为STA 1的代理与STA 3进行感知)时,因为AP发送的PPDU中携带的感知发起端MAC地址均为AP的MAC Address,所以如果只通过<MAC Address,measurement setup ID>来对measurement setup进行标识,感知响应端无法区分同一个measurement setup ID所对应的不同measurement setup,从而无法确定Measurement setup ID所标识的参数/特征,影响后续感知测量过程。也就是说,非代理感知过 程中的测量建立标识设置方法不适用于代理感知场景,因此,在代理感知场景中如何设置测量建立标识是亟待解决的问题。
因此,本申请实施例提供一种测量建立标识确定方法,可以解决代理感知场景中测量建立标识(measurement setup ID)的设置问题,以使代理感知场景中设置的测量建立标识与非代理感知场景中设置的测量建立标识能够区分。也就是说,实施本申请实施例提供的测量建立标识确定方法,感知响应端能够根据测量建立标识区分不同的测量建立,即感知响应端通过测量建立标识能够唯一确定一组用于感知测量的参数/特征。
本申请提供的技术方案可以应用于前述图3所示的代理感知场景中。实现本申请方法的装置可以是WLAN中的AP或STA,或者是,安装在AP或STA中的芯片或处理系统。
接入点(如前述图3的AP)是一种具有无线通信功能的装置,支持采用WLAN协议进行通信,具有与WLAN网络中其他设备(比如站点或其他接入点)通信的功能,当然,还可以具有与其他设备通信的功能。在WLAN系统中,接入点可以称为接入点站点(access point station,AP STA)。该具有无线通信功能的装置可以为一个整机的设备,还可以是安装在整机设备中的芯片或处理系统等,安装这些芯片或处理系统的设备可以在芯片或处理系统的控制下,实现本申请实施例的方法和功能。本申请实施例中的AP是为STA提供服务的装置,可以支持802.11系列协议。例如,AP可以为通信服务器、路由器、交换机、网桥等通信实体;AP可以包括各种形式的宏基站,微基站,中继站等,当然AP还可以为这些各种形式的设备中的芯片和处理系统,从而实现本申请实施例的方法和功能。
站点(如前述图3的STA1、STA2或STA3)是一种具有无线通信功能的装置,支持采用WLAN协议进行通信,具有与WLAN网络中的其他站点或接入点通信的能力。在WLAN系统中,站点可以称为非接入点站点(non-access point station,non-AP STA)。例如,STA是允许用户与AP通信进而与WLAN通信的任何用户通信设备,该具有无线通信功能的装置可以为一个整机的设备,还可以是安装在整机设备中的芯片或处理系统等,安装这些芯片或处理系统的设备可以在芯片或处理系统的控制下,实现本申请实施例的方法和功能。例如,STA可以为平板电脑、桌面型、膝上型、笔记本电脑、超级移动个人计算机(Ultra-mobile personal computer,UMPC)、手持计算机、上网本、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant,PDA)、手机等可以联网的用户设备,或物联网中的物联网节点,或车联网中的车载通信装置,或娱乐设备,游戏设备或系统,全球定位系统设备等,STA还可以为上述这些终端中的芯片和处理系统。
WLAN系统可以提供高速率低时延的传输,随着WLAN应用场景的不断演进,WLAN系统将会应用于更多场景或产业中,比如,应用于物联网产业,应用于车联网产业或应用于银行业,应用于企业办公,体育场馆展馆,音乐厅,酒店客房,宿舍,病房,教室,商超,广场,街道,生成车间和仓储等。当然,支持WLAN通信的设备(比如接入点或站点)可以是智慧城市中的传感器节点(比如,智能水表,智能电表,智能空气检测节点),智慧家居中的智能设备(比如智能摄像头,投影仪,显示屏,电视机,音响,电冰箱,洗衣机等),物联网中的节点,娱乐终端(比如增强现实(augmented reality,AR),虚拟现实(virtual reality,VR)等可穿戴设备),智能办公中的智能设备(比如,打印机,投影仪,扩音器,音响等),车联网中的车联网设备,日常生活场景中的基础设施(比如自动售货机,商超的自助导航台,自助收银设备,自助点餐机等),以及大型体育以及音乐场馆的设备等。本申请实施例中对于STA和AP的具体形式不做限制,在此仅是示例性说明。
应理解,802.11标准关注物理层(physical layer,PHY)和介质接入控制(medium access control,MAC)层部分。一个示例中,参见图4a,图4a是本申请实施例提供的接入点的结构示意图。其中,AP可以是多天线/多射频的,也可以是单天线/单射频的,该天线/射频用于发送/接收数据分组(本文中数据分组也可称为物理层协议数据单元(PHY protocol data unit,PPDU))。一种实现中,AP的天线或射频部分可以与AP的主体部分分离,呈拉远布局的结构。图4a中,AP可以包括物理层处理电路和介质接入控制处理电路,物理层处理电路可以用于处理物理层信号,MAC层处理电路可以用于处理MAC层信号。另一个示例中,参见图4b,图4b是本申请实施例提供的站点的结构示意图。图4b示出了单个天线/射频的STA结构示意图,实际场景中,STA也可以是多天线/多射频的,并且可以是两个以上天线的设备,该天线/射频用于发送/接收数据分组。一种实现中,STA的天线或射频部分可以与STA的主体部分分离,呈拉远布局的结构。图4b中,STA可以包括PHY处理电路和MAC处理电路,物理层处理电路可以用于处理物理层信号,MAC层处理电路可以用于处理MAC层信号。
下面将结合更多的附图对本申请提供的技术方案进行详细说明。
本申请中,除特殊说明外,各个实施例或实现方式之间相同或相似的部分可以互相参考。在本申请中各个实施例、以及各实施例中的各个实施方式/实施方法/实现方法中,如果没有特殊说明以及逻辑冲突,不同的实施例之间、以及各实施例中的各个实施方式/实施方法/实现方法之间的术语和/或描述具有一致性、且可以相互引用,不同的实施例、以及各实施例中的各个实施方式/实施方法/实现方法中的技术特征根据其内在的逻辑关系可以组合形成新的实施例、实施方式、实施方法、或实现方法。以下所述的本申请实施方式并不构成对本申请保护范围的限定。

实施例一
参见图5,图5是本申请实施例提供的测量建立标识确定方法的一示意流程图。该测量建立标识确定方法可以应用于前述图3所示的代理感知场景中,该方法主要介绍代理感知过程中设置的measurement setup ID如何与AP处已有的measurement setup ID集合相区分。如图5所示,该测量建立标识确定方法包括但不限于以下步骤:
S101,代理感知发起端(AP)获取第一测量建立参数,该第一测量建立参数包括代理感知发起端与感知响应端在代理感知过程中使用的参数。
一种实现方式中,请求STA(如前述图3中的STA1)可以请求AP作为其代理(proxy)来进行感知测量。请求STA还可以向AP(代理感知发起端)发送想要建立的measurement setup的相关参数(记为第二测量建立参数)。本申请中提及的测量建立参数用于感知测量,如代理感知发起端、感知响应端的角色,带宽,测量反馈类型等参数。AP(代理感知发起端)接收到该第二测量建立参数后,可以与请求STA协商确定代理感知发起端(AP)与感知响应端(如前述图3中的STA3)在代理感知过程中最终使用的参数(即第一测量建立参数)。比如,AP(代理感知发起端)接收到该第二测量建立参数后,根据该第二测量建立参数确定第三测量建立参数,并将确定出的第三测量建立参数发送给请求STA;如果请求STA同意该第三测量建立参数,则请求STA向AP(代理感知发起端)发送同意信息;AP(代理感知发起端)接 收到该同意信息后,将该第三测量建立参数作为第一测量建立参数。如果请求STA不同意该第三测量建立参数,则请求STA可以向AP(代理感知发起端)发送新的测量建立参数(该新的测量建立参数不同与第二测量建立参数和第三测量建立参数);AP(代理感知发起端)接收到该新的测量建立参数后,如果同意采用该新的测量建立参数,则将该新的测量建立参数作为第一测量建立参数;如果AP(代理感知发起端)不同意采用该新的测量建立参数,则AP(代理感知发起端)和请求STA可以继续协商,直至协商一致。
其中,该第二测量建立参数包括代理感知发起端(AP)与感知响应端(如STA3)在代理感知过程中使用的全部或部分参数。比如,该第二测量建立参数包括代理感知发起端、感知响应端的角色,带宽,测量反馈类型等参数。应理解,如果该第二测量建立参数包括的是代理感知发起端与感知响应端在代理感知过程中使用的部分参数,则AP可以与请求STA协商剩余部分参数,也可以与请求STA协商全部的参数。
可选的,上述第二测量建立参数可以携带于请求STA(STA1)向AP发送的请求消息中,也可以携带于一个独立的信息/帧中,本申请实施例不做限制。
可选的,请求STA在向AP(代理感知发起端)发送想要建立的measurement setup的相关参数(即第二测量建立参数)时,还可以同时发送一个测量建立标识(该测量建立标识由请求STA设置,该测量建立标识记为第二测量建立标识)。也就是说,第二测量建立参数和第二测量建立标识可以携带于一个信息/帧中,比如第二信息中;当然第二测量建立参数和第二测量建立标识可以携带于不同信息/帧中。该第二测量建立标识可以用于标识AP(代理感知发起端)与请求STA协商确定的上述第一测量建立参数。应理解,在AP(代理感知发起端)与请求STA协商确定出第一测量建立参数之前,或者说AP与请求STA的协商过程中,该第二测量建立标识也用于标识第二测量建立参数(即STA向AP发送的想要建立的measurement setup的相关参数)和协商过程中涉及的测量建立参数(如前述第三测量建立参数和前述新的测量建立参数)。当AP与请求STA协商确定出第一测量建立参数时及之后,请求STA和AP之间沿用第二测量建立标识来标识最终协商确定出的第一测量建立参数。
这样,当该请求STA想要AP代为建立多个measurement setup时,也就是说,当请求STA需要AP反馈多组测量建立参数下的信道状态信息时;请求STA通过告知AP(代理感知发起端)第二测量建立标识,以使AP在反馈信道状态信息时可以根据请求STA告知的测量建立标识为请求STA区分不同测量建立参数下的信道状态信息,从而避免请求STA混淆接收到的信道状态信息。
应理解,如果请求STA只可以向AP(代理感知发起端)请求一个measurement setup,请求STA处可以无需为上述第一测量建立参数设置第二测量建立标识。这是因为请求STA接收到的所有信道状态信息都是第一测量建立参数下的信道状态信息,不会产生混淆。
另一种实现方式中,请求STA(如前述图3中的STA1)可以请求AP作为其代理(proxy)来进行感知测量。请求STA还可以向AP(代理感知发起端)发送第二信息,该第二信息中包括代理感知发起端(AP)与感知响应端(如前述图3中的STA3)在代理感知过程中使用的参数,即第一信息中包括第一测量建立参数。也就是说,请求STA向AP(代理感知发起端)发送的想要建立的measurement setup的相关参数就是第一测量建立参数。AP(代理感知发起端)接收该第一信息,获得该第一测量建立参数。换句话说,请求STA直接告知AP(代理感知发起端)想要建立的measurement setup的相关参数,AP(代理感知发起端)不能对该相关参数进行修改,也无需就该相关参数与请求STA协商。其中,该第一测量建立参数可以包括代理感知发起端、感知响应端的角色,带宽,测量反馈类型等参数。
可选的,上述第二信息可以携带于请求STA(STA1)向AP发送的请求消息中,也可以携带于一个独立的信息/帧中,本申请实施例不做限制。
可选的,请求STA在向AP(代理感知发起端)发送上述第一测量建立参数时,还可以同时发送一个测量建立标识(该测量建立标识由请求STA设置,该测量建立标识记为第二测量建立标识)。也就是说,上述第二信息中还可以包括第二测量建立标识,当然,该第二测量建立标识也可以与第一测量建立参数位于不同的信息/帧中。其中,该第二测量建立标识可以用于标识上述第一测量建立参数,也就是说,请求STA和AP(代理感知发起端)之间用第二测量建立标识来标识第一测量建立参数。
又一种实现方式中,请求STA(如前述图3中的STA1)请求AP作为其代理(proxy)来进行感知测量。AP(即代理感知发起端)接收到请求STA的请求后,可以自行确定自己(代理感知发起端)与感知响应端(如前述图3中的STA3)在代理感知过程中使用的参数,即自行确定第一测量建立参数。其中,该第一测量建立参数可以包括代理感知发起端、感知响应端的角色,带宽,测量反馈类型等参数。
可选的,AP(即代理感知发起端)在自行确定第一测量建立参数之后,可以告知请求STA。请求STA接收到该第一测量建立参数后,也可以为该第一测量建立参数设置一个测量建立标识,即第二测量建立标识;并可以将该第二测量建立标识告知AP(即代理感知发起端)。
可选的,请求STA请求AP作为其代理进行感知测量时,可以携带一个测量建立标识(记为第二测量建立标识)。AP(代理感知发起端)接收到请求STA的请求后,自行确定第一测量建立参数,并将第一测量建立参数和/或第二测量建立标识都告知请求STA。换句话说,请求STA在请求AP作为其代理时,就设置一个测量建立标识(即第二测量建立标识),此时该第二测量建立标识尚未标识任何参数或标识的参数为空集。当请求STA收到AP(代理感知发起端)发送的第一测量建立参数时,或请求STA收到AP(代理感知发起端)发送的第一测量建立参数和第二测量建立标识时,请求STA就可以获知该第二测量建立标识用于标识该第一测量建立参数。
S102,代理感知发起端(AP)向感知响应端(STA3)发送第一信息,该第一信息中包括该第一测量建立参数和第一测量建立标识,该第一测量建立标识用于标识该第一测量建立参数,该第一测量建立标识不是代理感知发起端中已使用的测量建立标识,换句话说,第一测量建立标识与代理感知发起端中已使用的测量建立标识不同。
可选的,AP(代理感知发起端)获得第一测量建立参数后,可以为该第一测量建立参数设置一个测量建立标识(记为第一测量建立标识),用于标识这个第一测量建立参数。该第一测量建立标识不是AP(代理感知发起端)中已使用的测量建立标识,也就是说第一测量建立标识与AP(代理感知发起端)中已使用的测量建立标识不同。换句话说,作为代理的AP在对该代理感知流程中的measurement setup进行标识时,需要重新用不同于AP处已有的measurement setup ID。其中,AP(代理感知发起端)中已使用的测量建立标识可以包括:AP(代理感知发起端)在感知过程(这里指非代理感知过程)中已使用的测量建立标识,和/或AP(代理感知发起端)在代理感知过程中已使用的测量建立标识。也就是说,AP处已有的measurement setup ID既包括已建立的代理感知流程中AP作为initiator(发起端)设置的measurement setup ID,也包括已建立的非代理感知流程中AP作为initiator设置的measurement setup ID。
可选的,AP(代理感知发起端)为该第一测量建立参数设置第一测量建立标识后,可以 将该第一测量建立参数和第一测量建立标识携带在一个信息(记为第一信息)中发送给感知响应端(如前述图3中的STA3)。也就是说,AP(代理感知发起端)和感知响应端(如STA3)之间用第一测量建立标识来标识第一测量建立参数。感知响应端(如STA3)接收到该第一信息后,可以为第一测量建立参数和第一测量建立标识建立关联关系,以使后续感知测量过程中通过第一测量建立标识可以唯一索引到该第一测量建立参数。
可选的,如果请求STA为该第一测量建立参数设置了第二测量建立标识并告知了AP(代理感知发起端),则AP(代理感知发起端)中可以存在映射关系,即AP(代理感知发起端)为该第一测量建立参数设置的第一测量建立标识与请求STA为该第一测量建立参数设置的第二测量建立标识对应。一个可选实施例中,AP(代理感知发起端)也可以将第一测量建立标识与第二测量建立标识之间的映射关系告知请求STA和/或感知响应端(如STA3)。相应地,AP(代理感知发起端)也可以将第二测量建立标识告知感知响应端(如STA3);和/或,AP(代理感知发起端)还可以将第一测量建立标识告知请求STA。
应理解,第一测量建立标识和第二测量建立标识都用于标识第一测量建立参数。当请求STA在向AP(代理感知发起端)交互涉及第一测量建立标识有关的内容时,AP(代理感知发起端)与STA3(感知响应端)间用第二测量建立标识表示涉及的相关内容。
其中,如果第二测量建立标识不是AP(代理感知发起端)中已使用的测量建立标识,换句话说,如果第二测量建立标识与AP(代理感知发起端)中已使用的测量建立标识不相同;AP(代理感知发起端)也可以直接将该第二测量建立标识作为第一测量建立标识;也就是说,此时第一测量建立标识与第二测量建立标识相同。举例来说,第二测量建立标识为一号ID,第一测量建立标识为二号ID,如果AP处已有的measurement setup ID集合中包括一号ID,二号ID就不属于AP处已有measurement setup ID集合;如果AP处已有的measurement setup ID中无一号ID,则AP可以仍然采用一号ID,此时二号ID=一号ID。当然,即使第二测量建立标识不是AP(代理感知发起端)中已使用的测量建立标识,AP(代理感知发起端)也可以随意选择一个不是AP(代理感知发起端)中已使用的测量建立标识的值作为第一测量建立标识;也就是说,此时第一测量建立标识与第二测量建立标识也可以不相同。
可选的,在步骤S102之后,该测量建立标识确定方法还可以包括:代理感知发起端(AP)向感知响应端(如前述图3中的STA3)发送第三信息,该第三信息中包括上述第一测量建立标识。可选的,该第三信息除了携带第一测量建立标识外,还可以携带上述第一测量建立参数中的部分参数,比如带宽等。其中,上述步骤S101和上述步骤S102可以理解为测量建立过程,那么第一信息可以理解为measurement setup过程中的信息。而第三信息可以是测量实体、测量建立终止等感知过程中的信息。也就是说,上述标识measurement setup的方式(即作为代理的AP在对该代理感知流程中的measurement setup进行标识时,需要重新用不同于AP处已有的measurement setup ID)不仅适用于measurement setup过程,也适用于measurement instance、measurement setup termination等感知过程。
本申请实施例通过约束代理感知过程中设置的measurement setup ID不属于AP处已有的measurement setup ID集合,不仅可以解决代理感知场景中测量建立标识的设置问题,区分代理感知场景中设置的测量建立标识与普通感知场景(或非代理感知场景)中设置的测量建立标识,从而避免混淆,影响后续感知测量流程;还可以复用感知响应端的识别方式,即感知响应端仍可以通过<MAC Address,measurement setup ID>来识别对应的measurement setup。这里的MAC Address是指代理感知发起端(AP)的MAC地址,即proxy AP MAC Address。
应理解,对于代理感知发起端(AP)而言,<Initiator MAC Address,measurement setup ID> 中用于识别measurement setup参数的MAC address可以在发送的PPDU的发送地址(transmission address,TA)、源地址(source address,SA)等字段中承载。而对于感知响应端(如STA 3)而言,可以在该感知响应端发送的PPDU的接收地址(receive address,RA)、目的地址(destination address,DA)等字段中承载上述发起端的MAC Address。其中,这里的Initiator MAC Address指代理AP的MAC地址,即proxy AP MAC Address。还应理解,本申请虽然用MAC Address来参与measurement setup的区分,但在传输时可以是传输MAC address的部分或全部,并不一定必须是全部的MAC Address。下文同理,不再赘述。
实施例二
参见图6,图6是本申请实施例提供的测量建立标识确定方法的另一示意流程图。该测量建立标识确定方法可以应用于前述图3所示的代理感知场景中,该方法主要介绍代理感知过程中设置的measurement setup ID可以属于AP处已有的measurement setup ID集合,依据measurement setup对应参数是否一致来决定是否可以属于已有的measurement setup ID集合。如图6所示,该测量建立标识确定方法包括但不限于以下步骤:
S201,代理感知发起端(AP)获取第一测量建立参数,该第一测量建立参数包括代理感知发起端与感知响应端在代理感知过程中使用的参数。
可选的,本申请实施例中步骤S201的实现方式可以参考前述实施例一(即图5所示实施例)中步骤S101的实现方式,此处不再赘述。
S202,代理感知发起端(AP)向感知响应端(STA3)发送第一信息,该第一信息中包括该第一测量建立参数和第一测量建立标识,该第一测量建立标识用于标识该第一测量建立参数;其中,若第一标识集合中存在与该第一测量建立参数相同的由第三测量建立标识所标识的测量建立参数,该第一测量建立标识为该第三测量建立标识,或该第一测量建立标识不属于该第一标识集合;若该第一标识集合中不存在与该第一测量建立参数相同的由测量建立标识所标识的测量建立参数,该第一测量建立标识不属于该第一标识集合;该第一标识集合包括代理感知发起端(AP)中已使用的测量建立标识。
可选的,AP(代理感知发起端)获得第一测量建立参数后,可以为该第一测量建立参数设置一个测量建立标识(记为第一测量建立标识),用于标识这个第一测量建立参数。具体的,AP(代理感知发起端)可以检测第一标识集合(即AP(代理感知发起端)中已使用的测量建立标识集合)中是否存在测量建立标识所标识的测量建立参数与该第一测量建立参数相同。如果该第一标识集合中的第三测量建立标识所标识的测量建立参数与该第一测量建立参数相同,AP(代理感知发起端)可以将该第三测量建立标识作为第一测量建立标识;或者AP(代理感知发起端)可以选择一个不是该第一标识集合中的数值作为第一测量建立标识。也就是说,当第一标识集合中的第三测量建立标识所标识的测量建立参数与该第一测量建立参数相同时,第一测量建立标识为该第三测量建立标识,或第一测量建立标识不属于该第一标识集合。如果该第一标识集合中没有测量建立标识所标识的测量建立参数与该第一测量建立参数相同,AP(代理感知发起端)可以选择一个不是该第一标识集合中的数值作为第一测量建立标识。也就是说,当第一标识集合中不存在测量建立标识所标识的测量建立参数与该第一测量建立参数相同时,第一测量建立标识不属于该第一标识集合。其中,上述第一标识集合包括代理感知发起端(AP)中已使用的测量建立标识。AP(代理感知发起端)中已使用的测量建立标识可以包括:AP(代理感知发起端)在感知过程(这里指非代理感知过程)中已使用的测量建立标识,和/或AP(代理感知发起端)在代理感知过程中已使用的测量建立标识。
换句话说,作为代理的AP在对该代理感知流程中的measurement setup进行标识时,可以用AP处已有的measurement setup ID来标识,而是否可以用AP处已有的measurement setup ID来标识取决于AP(代理感知发起端)和感知响应端(如STA 3)间已有的measurement setup ID对应的参数、与请求STA(如STA1)想要建立的measurement setup对应的参数(这里指第一测量建立参数)是否一致。如果一致,则可以复用AP处已有的Measurement setup ID;如果不一致,则需要建立新的编号来标识该新的measurement setup。其中,AP处已有的measurement setup ID既包括已建立的代理感知流程中AP作为initiator(发起端)设置的measurement setup ID,也包括已建立的非代理感知流程中AP作为initiator设置的measurement setup ID。
可选的,AP(代理感知发起端)为该第一测量建立参数设置第一测量建立标识后,可以将该第一测量建立参数和第一测量建立标识携带在一个信息(记为第一信息)中发送给感知响应端(如前述图3中的STA3)。也就是说,AP(代理感知发起端)和感知响应端(如STA3)之间用第一测量建立标识来标识第一测量建立参数。感知响应端(如STA3)接收到该第一信息后,可以为第一测量建立参数和第一测量建立标识建立关联关系,以使后续感知测量过程中通过第一测量建立标识可以唯一索引到该第一测量建立参数。
可选的,如果请求STA为该第一测量建立参数设置了第二测量建立标识并告知了AP(代理感知发起端),则AP(代理感知发起端)中可以存在映射关系,即第一测量建立标识与第二测量建立标识对应。一个可选实施例中,AP(代理感知发起端)也可以将第一测量建立标识与第二测量建立标识之间的映射关系告知请求STA和/或感知响应端(如STA3)。相应地,AP(代理感知发起端)也可以将第二测量建立标识告知感知响应端(如STA3);和/或,AP(代理感知发起端)还可以将第一测量建立标识告知请求STA。
应理解,第一测量建立标识和第二测量建立标识都用于标识第一测量建立参数。当请求STA在向AP(代理感知发起端)交互涉及第一测量建立标识有关的内容时,AP(代理感知发起端)与STA3(感知响应端)间用第二测量建立标识表示涉及的相关内容。
其中,如果第二测量建立标识不是上述第一标识集合中的测量建立标识,也就是说如果第二测量建立标识与上述第一标识集合中的任一测量建立标识都不相同;AP(代理感知发起端)也可以直接将该第二测量建立标识作为第一测量建立标识;也就是说,此时第一测量建立标识与第二测量建立标识相同。
可选的,在步骤S202之后,该测量建立标识确定方法还可以包括:代理感知发起端(AP)向感知响应端(如前述图3中的STA3)发送第三信息,该第三信息中包括上述第一测量建立标识。也就是说,上述AP(代理感知发起端)为该第一测量建立参数设置测量建立标识的方式不仅适用于measurement setup过程,也适用于measurement instance、measurement setup termination等感知过程。可选的,该第三信息除了携带第一测量建立标识外,还可以携带上述第一测量建立参数中的部分参数,比如带宽等。
本申请实施例中,代理AP(即代理感知发起端)根据请求STA请求的代理感知流程中的measurement setup对应的参数(即第一测量建立参数)是否与代理AP处已有measurement setup ID集合(即第一标识集合)中的measurement setup ID对应的参数相同,来决定是否使用AP处已有measurement setup ID集合中的ID。一方面可以解决代理感知场景中测量建立标识的设置问题,区分不同场景中的测量建立标识,从而避免混淆;另一方面可以复用感知响应端的识别方式,即感知响应端仍可以通过<MAC Address,measurement setup ID>来识别对应的measurement setup;又一方面,还可以节省ID资源。这里的MAC Address是指代理感知 发起端(AP)的MAC地址,即proxy AP MAC Address。
实施例三
参见图7,图7是本申请实施例提供的代理感知过程中的测量建立方法的示意流程图。该代理感知过程中的测量建立方法可以应用于前述图3所示的代理感知场景中,该方法主要介绍AP在发送measurement setup ID时携带更多的信息(如代理感知(SBP)相关信息、请求STA的相关信息),以使代理感知过程中measurement setup ID的设置完全独立。如图7所示,该代理感知过程中的测量建立方法包括但不限于以下步骤:
S301,代理感知发起端(AP)获取第一测量建立参数,该第一测量建立参数包括代理感知发起端与感知响应端在代理感知过程中使用的参数。
可选的,本申请实施例中步骤S301的实现方式可以参考前述实施例一(即图5所示实施例)中步骤S101的实现方式,此处不再赘述。
S302,代理感知发起端(AP)向感知响应端(STA3)发送第一信息,该第一信息中包括该第一测量建立参数、第一测量建立标识、以及第四信息,该第一测量建立标识用于标识该第一测量建立参数,该第四信息中包括用于标识请求STA的信息,和/或用于指示该第一信息请求建立的测量建立属于代理感知流程的信息。
可选的,AP(代理感知发起端)获得第一测量建立参数后,可以为该第一测量建立参数设置一个测量建立标识(记为第一测量建立标识),用于标识这个第一测量建立参数。该第一测量建立标识可以独立设置,也就是说,该第一测量建立标识可以是AP(代理感知发起端)中已使用的测量建立标识,也可以不是AP(代理感知发起端)中已使用的测量建立标识;即第一测量建立标识可以为任意数值。AP(代理感知发起端)中已使用的测量建立标识的含义可以参考前文的描述,此处不再赘述。AP(代理感知发起端)可以获取第四信息,该第四信息中可以包括用于标识请求STA的信息,和/或用于指示该第一信息请求建立的测量建立属于代理感知过程的信息。其中,用于标识请求STA的信息可以包括以下一项或多项:请求STA的标识,请求STA的部分或全部MAC地址,请求STA的虚拟编号。请求STA的标识为:请求STA的部分或全部关联标识符(AID),或请求STA的部分或全部未关联站点标识(UID)。请求STA的虚拟编号可以由AP(代理感知发起端)设置。用于指示该第一信息请求建立的测量建立属于代理感知流程的信息,可以为1比特;当该比特置1时,表示该第一信息请求建立的测量建立属于代理感知流程,当该比特置0时,表示该第一信息请求建立的测量建立不属于代理感知流程或表示预留(reserved);当然,也可以是该比特置0时,表示该第一信息请求建立的测量建立属于代理感知流程,当该比特置1时,表示该第一信息请求建立的测量建立不属于代理感知流程或表示预留(reserved);本申请实施例不做限制。
可选的,AP(代理感知发起端)为该第一测量建立参数设置第一测量建立标识和获得第四信息后,可以将该第一测量建立参数、该第一测量建立标识、以及第四信息携带于一个信息(记为第一信息)中发送给感知响应端(如前述图3中的STA3)。感知响应端(如STA3)接收到该第一信息后,可以为第一测量建立参数、第一测量建立标识、以及第四信息建立关联关系,以使后续感知测量过程中通过第一测量建立标识和第四信息可以唯一索引到该第一测量建立参数。
换句话说,作为代理的AP在向感知响应端发送该代理感知流程中的measurement setup标识时,可以携带信息一(即上述第四信息),信息一可以是:请求STA(STA1)的相关信息(如STA 1的AID、UID、MAC Address、虚拟编号(虚拟编号对应该请求STA)等)、和/ 或代理感知相关信息(如表明该measurement setup属于代理感知流程中的measurement setup)等。因为有请求STA的相关信息和/或代理感知相关信息来做区分,感知响应端可以根据这些信息区分measurement setup ID对应的测量建立参数,所以代理感知过程中measurement setup ID的设置可以独立。举例来说,以携带请求STA的相关信息为例,感知响应端可以通过<STA1MAC Address,Measurement setup ID>或<AP MAC Address,STA1MAC Address,Measurement setup ID>来区分采用了同一measurement setup ID所标识的不同测量建立参数。换言之,可以通过<AP MAC Address,STA1MAC Address,measurement setup ID,代理感知相关信息>中的一个或多个元素的组合来作为标识measurement setup的依据。
可选的,如果请求STA为该第一测量建立参数设置了第二测量建立标识并告知了AP(代理感知发起端),AP(代理感知发起端)中也可以不存在映射关系。或者说,AP在为第一测量建立参数设置测量建立标识时直接采用第二测量建立标识。
可选的,在步骤S303之后,该代理感知过程中的测量建立方法还可以包括:代理感知发起端(AP)向感知响应端(如前述图3中的STA3)发送第三信息,该第三信息中包括上述第一测量建立标识和上述第四信息。也就是说,上述AP(代理感知发起端)在代理感知流程中发送Measurement setup ID的同时携带第四信息的方式不仅适用于measurement setup过程,也适用于measurement instance、measurement setup termination等感知过程。可选的,该第三信息除了携带第一测量建立标识和第四信息外,还可以携带上述第一测量建立参数中的部分参数,比如带宽等。
可选的,上述第四信息可以为帧中新增的字段,也就是说第四信息在帧中可以有相应的字段,如请求STA的MAC地址字段、代理感知相关信息字段等。如果携带第四信息的帧是广播形式发送的帧,如空数据分组声明(null data packet announcement,NDPA)帧或触发帧(trigger frame,TF);则第四信息可以位于该帧的公共级别的字段中,如公共信息字段(common info filed);当然也可以位于用户级别的字段中,如用户信息字段(User Info field)或站点用户信息字段(STA Info field),或者还可以通过一个或多个特殊用户信息字段来携带第四信息。一个示例中,特殊用户信息字段可以通过特殊的AID来标识。
本申请实施例通过代理感知发起端(AP)在发送代理感知过程中的measurement setup ID时,携带用于标识请求STA的信息和/或用于指示建立的测量建立属于代理感知过程的信息,来辅助感知响应端(STA3)区分不同的测量建立。本申请实施例从另一个角度解决代理感知场景中测量建立标识的设置问题,从而避免混淆。
