具体实施方式
下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行描述,显然,所描述的实施例是本申请一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。针对本申请中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本申请保护的范围。
本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统,例如:无线局域网(Wireless Local Area Networks,WLAN)、无线保真(Wireless Fidelity,WiFi)或其他通信系统等。
示例性的,本申请实施例应用的通信系统100如图1所示。该通信系统100可以包括接入点(Access Point,AP)110,以及通过接入点110接入网络的站点(STATION,STA)120。
在一些场景中,AP或称AP STA,即在某种意义上来说,AP也是一种STA。
在一些场景中,STA或称非AP STA(non-AP STA)。
通信系统100中的通信可以是AP与non-AP STA之间的通信,也可以是non-AP STA与non-AP STA之间的通信,或者STA和peer STA之间的通信,其中,peer STA可以指与STA对等通信的设备,例如,peer STA可能为AP,也可能为non-AP STA。
AP相当于一个连接有线网和无线网的桥梁,主要作用是将各个无线网络客户端连接到一起,然后将无线网络接入以太网。AP设备可以是带有WiFi芯片的终端设备(如手机)或者网络设备(如路由器)。
应理解,STA在通信系统中的角色不是绝对的,例如,在一些场景中,手机连接路由的时候,手机是non-AP STA,手机作为其他手机的热点的情况下,手机充当了AP的角色。
AP和non-AP STA可以是应用于车联网中的设备,物联网(Internet Of Things,IoT)中的物联网节点、传感器等,智慧家居中的智能摄像头,智能遥控器,智能水表电表等,以及智慧城市中的传感器等。
在一些实施例中,non-AP STA可以支持802.11be制式。non-AP STA也可以支持802.11ax、802.11ac、802.11n、802.11g、802.11b及802.11a等多种当前以及未来的802.11家族的无线局域网(wireless local area networks,WLAN)制式。

图1示例性地示出了一个AP STA和两个non-AP STA,可选地,该通信系统100可以包括多个AP STA以及包括其它数量的non-AP STA,本申请实施例对此不做限定。
应理解,本申请实施例中网络/系统中具有通信功能的设备可称为通信设备。以图1示出的通信系统100为例,通信设备可包括具有通信功能的接入点110和站点120,接入点110和站点120可以为上文所述的具体设备,此处不再赘述;通信设备还可包括通信系统100中的其他设备,例如网络控制器、网关等其他网络实体,本申请实施例中对此不做限定。
应理解,本文中术语“系统”和“网络”在本文中常被可互换使用。本文中术语“和/或”,仅仅是一种描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B这三种情况。另外,本文中字符“/”,一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。
应理解,在本申请的实施例中提到的“指示”可以是直接指示,也可以是间接指示,还可以是表示具有关联关系。举例说明,A指示B,可以表示A直接指示B,例如B可以通过A获取;也可以表示A间接指示B,例如A指示C,B可以通过C获取;还可以表示A和B之间具有关联关系。
在本申请实施例的描述中,术语“对应”可表示两者之间具有直接对应或间接对应的关系,也可以表示两者之间具有关联关系,也可以是指示与被指示、配置与被配置等关系。
本申请实施例中,"预定义"可以通过在设备(例如,包括接入点和站点)中预先保存相应的代码、表格或其他可用于指示相关信息的方式来实现,本申请对于其具体的实现方式不做限定。比如预定义可以是指协议中定义的。
为便于理解本申请实施例的技术方案,以下对本申请相关术语进行说明。

参与感知测量的设备可能包括如下角色(role):
感知发起设备(Sensing Initiator),发起感知会话(sensing session)并想要获知感知结果的设备;
感知响应设备(Sensing Responder),参与sensing session的非Sensing Initiator的设备;
感知发送设备(Sensing Transmitter),发起感知测量信号(sensing illumination signal)的设备,或称感知信号发送设备;

感知参与设备(Sensing Participant),包括感知发起设备,感知发送设备和感知接收设备。
设备在一个感知测量中可能有一个或多个角色,例如感知发起设备可以仅仅是感知发起设备,也可以成为感知发送设备,也可以成为感知接收设备,还可以同时是感知发送设备和感知接收设备。
例如,如图2中的A所示,STA1可以是感知发起设备(Sensing Initiator),也可以是感知接收设备(Sensing Receiver),还可以是感知处理设备(Sensing processor);STA2可以是感知发送设备(Sensing Transmitter)。
又例如,如图2中的B所示,STA1可以是感知发起设备(Sensing Initiator),也可以是感知发送设备(Sensing Transmitter);STA2可以是感知接收设备(Sensing Receiver),也可以是感知处理设备(Sensing processor)。
又例如,如图2中的C所示,STA1可以是感知发起设备(Sensing Initiator),也可以是感知处理设备(Sensing processor);STA2可以是感知接收设备(Sensing Receiver);STA3可以是感知发送设备(Sensing Transmitter)。
又例如,如图2中的D所示,STA1可以是感知发起设备(Sensing Initiator),也可以是感知接收设备(Sensing Receiver),还可以是感知处理设备(Sensing processor);STA2可以是感知发送设备(Sensing Transmitter);STA3可以是感知发送设备(Sensing Transmitter)。
又例如,如图2中的E所示,STA1可以是感知发起设备(Sensing Initiator),也可以是感知发送设备(Sensing Transmitter),还可以是感知处理设备(Sensing processor);STA2可以是感知接收设备(Sensing Receiver);STA3可以是感知接收设备(Sensing Receiver)。
又例如,如图2中的F所示,STA1可以是感知发起设备(Sensing Initiator);STA2可以是感知接收设备(Sensing Receiver),也可以是感知处理设备(Sensing processor);STA3可以是感知发送设备(Sensing Transmitter);STA4可以是感知发送设备(Sensing Transmitter)。
又例如,如图2中的G所示,STA1可以是感知发起设备(Sensing Initiator),也可以是感知发送设备(Sensing Transmitter),还可以是感知接收设备(Sensing Receiver),还可以是感知处理设备(Sensing processor)。
又例如,如图2中的H所示,STA1可以是感知发起设备(Sensing Initiator);STA2可以是感知发送设备(Sensing Transmitter),也可以是感知接收设备(Sensing Receiver),还可以是感知处理设备(Sensing processor)。

又例如,如图2中的J所示,STA1可以是感知发起设备(Sensing Initiator),也可以是感知处理设备(Sensing processor);STA2可以是感知发送设备(Sensing Transmitter),也可以是感知接收设备(Sensing Receiver);STA3可以是感知发送设备(Sensing Transmitter),也可以是感知接收设备(Sensing Receiver)。
需要说明的是,图2仅为本申请的示例,不应理解为对本申请的限制。例如图2中的STA1,STA2,STA3仅仅表示STA的角色,在图2以及后续的感知会话、测量等步骤中,并不用于限制STA的数量,例如,STA1,STA2,STA3所代表的角色可以实现为一个或多个STA。
在一些实施例中,可以具有多种感知类型(Sensing Type)。例如,基于信道状态信息(Channel State Information,CSI)的感知类型,即CSI-based Sensing,该感知类型是通过处理接收到的感知测量信号的CSI获得sensing测量结果。又例如,基于反射信号的感知类型,即Radar-based Sensing,该感知类型是通过处理接收到的感知测量信号的反射信号获得sensing测量结果。
在本申请实施例中,感知发起设备或称发起设备,感知会话发起设备,感知响应设备或称响应设备,或者感知会话响应设备。
WLAN感知会话包括以下一个或多个阶段:会话建立、感知测量设置建立、感知测量、感知上报、感知测量设置终止、会话终止。
会话建立阶段:建立感知会话,交换双方的感知能力和/或确定感知测量相关的操作参数,或者终端声明自身的角色和操作参数(例如,通过信标帧或者其他特殊帧)
感知测量设置建立阶段:确定感知参与设备及其角色(包括感知信号发送设备和感知信号接收设备),决定感知测量相关的操作参数,并且可选的在终端之间交互该参数。
感知测量阶段:实施感知测量,感知信号发送设备发送感知信号给感知信号接收者。
感知上报阶段:上报测量结果,由应用场景决定,感知信号接收设备可能需要给感知会话发起设备上报测量结果。
感知测量设置终止阶段:终止一个或多个测量设置,停止相应的测量,并释放相关存储和计算资源。
会话终止阶段:终止所有测量设置,停止测量,终止感知会话。
感知测量结果的数据量通常比较大,例如一次测量的信道状态信息(Channel State Information,CSI)数据可能达到4K~40K比特,为了降低上报感知测量结果导致的网络负载,可以设置测量阈值,当本次感知测量结果与上次的感知测量结果的变化量小于该测量阈值时,感知信号接收设备上报感知测量结果,否则不上报感知测量结果。
感知发起设备可以设置多组测量参数,一组测量参数(用测量设置标识(Measurment Setup ID)来标识,可以等价于突发信号组(Burst Group))可以应用于多次测量(每次测量用测量实例标识(Measurement Instance ID)来标识,可以等价于突发信号(Burst))。
在一些实施例中,感知会话发起设备可以通过测量设置流程(Measurement Setup procedure)来设置多组测量参数,一个测量设置(Measurement Setup,或称测量配置,Measurement Configuration),一般包括一组测量参数,其可以用测量设置标识(Measurement Setup ID)来标识。一个测量设置可以应用于多次测量,一次测量(可以等价于突发信号(Burst))可以认为是一个测量实例(Measurement  Instance),测量实例可以用测量实例标识(Measurement Instance ID)来标识。
在一些实施例中,为了降低感知测量上报的开销以及对其他设备的干扰,可以执行基于触发帧(Trigger Based,TB)的测量流程,包括感知测量设置阶段、感知测量阶段和感知测量上报阶段三个阶段,其中,感知测量设置阶段主要交互或协商实施感知测量的操作参数,即测量设置,感知测量阶段主要基于测量设置实施感知测量,感知测量设备阶段主要进行测量结果的上报。
图3是感知测量设置阶段的一种示意性交互图,如图3所示,在感知测量设置阶段,感知发起设备(例如AP设备)和至少一个感知响应设备通过感知测量设置请求帧和感知测量设置响应帧确定实施测量的操作参数,即测量设置。
图4是感知测量阶段的一种示意性交互图,如图4所示,在感知测量阶段,感知发起设备(例如AP设备)通过感知测量轮询触发帧确定执行测量的感知响应设备,进一步通过感知测量触发帧触发执行测量的感知响应设备发送测量帧(例如,空数据物理层协议数据单元(Null Data PPDU,NDP))上行测量,通过NDP通知(NDP Announcement,NDPA)通知感知响应设备接收测量帧进行下行测量。
图5是感知上报阶段的一种示意性交互图,如图5所示,在感知上报阶段,感知发起设备(例如AP设备)通过感知反馈轮询触发帧确定执行测量上报的感知响应设备,响应于该感知反馈轮询触发帧,感知响应设备可以向接入点设备发送感知反馈帧,进一步接入点设备通过感知测量上报触发帧进行测量上报的感知响应设备发送感知测量上报帧,其中,该感知反馈帧可以通过TB物理层协议数据单元(Physical Protocol Data Unit,PPDU)携带。
在一些情况中,只有一对设备进行感知测量,可以采用非触发(non-TB)的测量流程。
在一些场景中,如图6所示,感知发起设备是感知信号发送设备,则感知信号发送设备可以发送NDPA帧来宣告测量开始,在短帧间间隔(short interframe space,SIFS)时间后发送NDP帧,感知信号接收设备接收该NDP帧产生测量结果,在SIFS时间后,感知信号接收设备给感知发起设备上报测量结果。
在另一些场景中,感知发起设备是感知信号接收设备,如图7所示,感知信号发送设备可以发送NDPA帧来宣告测量开始,在SIFS时间后发送NDP帧,感知信号接收设备接收该NDP帧产生测量结果,无需上报测量结果。
感知信号接收设备上报测量结果可以是立即上报(immediate report)或者延迟上报(delayed report)。可选地,延迟上报可以是由感知发起设备显式请求的。
在一些场景中,考虑引入代理的感知(Sensing by Proxy),即一个设备(例如STA)可以通过另一设备(AP)代理建立感知过程,此情况下,代理设备如何管理代理的感知过程是一项亟需解决的问题。
为便于理解本申请实施例的技术方案,以下通过具体实施例详述本申请的技术方案。以上相关技术作为可选方案与本申请实施例的技术方案可以进行任意结合,其均属于本申请实施例的保护范围。本申请实施例包括以下内容中的至少部分内容。

在一些实施例中,所述建立失败的测量设置的信息可以包括第一设备建立测量设置时所携带的测量设置信息中的部分或全部。例如,可以携带建立测量设置时不满足第二设备的感知需求的测量设置信息。
在一些实施例中,所述第一信息还可以包括所述第一设备建议的测量设置信息,用于辅助第二设备调整感知需求信息。可选地,该第二设备可以根据该建议的测量设置信息发起代理请求,有利于实现成功的代理感知。

实施例二:测量过程
在一些实施例中,所述第一信息包括第二指示信息,所述第二指示信息用于指示测量过程的执行结果。该测量过程为第一设备代理第二设备建立的测量设置对应的测量过程,即,该测量过程是基于该测量设置执行的。
在一些实施例中,所述测量过程的执行结果也可以表述为测量实例的执行结果。
例如,所述第二指示信息用于指示所述测量过程执行成功(或者说,测量过程未发生错误,测量实例执行成功,测量实例未发生错误),或者,测量过程发生错误(或者说,测量过程执行失败,测量实例执行失败,测量实例发生错误)。
在一些实施例中,所述第一信息还包括测量过程发生错误的错误码和/或错误信息。
在一些实施例中,测量过程中发生错误的错误码也可以表述为测量过程发生错误的原因信息,或者,测量过程执行失败的原因信息等。
应理解,该测量过程发生错误可以是感知响应设备不满足第二设备的感知需求导致的,或者,也可以是感知代理设备的原因导致的,本申请对此不作限定。
在一些实施例中,所述测量过程发生错误的错误码用于指示以下中的至少一种:
测量过程中感知参与设备的数量减少不满足第二设备的感知需求,测量过程中感知参与设备的操作模式(Operating Mode,OM)发生变化不能满足第二设备的感知需求,基础服务集(Basic Service Set,BSS)负荷超过预设门限(即BSS负荷过高)。
在一些场景中,在STA出现电量不足但想延长工作时,会进行操作模式变化(降低带宽和/或减少能支持的发送空域流数目和/或减少能支持的接收空域流数目)来达到延长工作时长的效果。操作模式变化后可能会对感知过程产生影响,例如带宽越小测量结果的量化误差越大,空域流数目越小测量结果的CSI矩阵维度降低,导致感知的准确性降低。感知响应设备(例如non-AP STA)在其自身操作模式发生变化时,会给感知发起设备(例如AP)发送操作模式通知(Operating Mode Notification,OMN)(可以是OMN帧,也可以是携带OMN元素的其他帧)或者操作模式指示(Operating Mode Indication,OMI)(可以是操作模式控制子字段(OM Control subfield)和/或EHT操作模式控制子字段(EHT OM Control subfield)。
在一些实施例中,测量过程发生错误的错误信息可以指发生错误时的相关信息。
例如,感知参与设备的数量减少导致测量过程发生错误时,该错误信息可以为缺少的感知参与设备的数量,或者,减少后的感知参与设备的数量。
又例如,感知参与设备的操作模式发生变化导致测量过程发生错误时,该错误信息可以为感知响应设备变化后的操作模式。
再例如,BSS负荷超过预设门限导致测量过程发生错误时,该错误信息可以为BSS的当前负荷。
在本申请一些实施例中,可以将测量设置标识值空间(Measurement Setup ID space)分为第一测量设置标识值空间和第二测量设置标识值空间,分别用于标识因代理请求建立的测量设置对应的测量设置和非因代理请求建立的测量设置对应的测量设置,其中,所述第一测量设置标识值空间和所述第二测量设置标识值空间不同,有利于简化实现和快速查找。
作为示例而非限定,测量设置标识值空间包括0到31的整数值,第一测量设置标识值空间包括从16到31的整数值,第二测量设置标识值空间包括从0到15的整数值。
应理解,上述测量设置标识值空间,以及第一测量设置标识值空间和第二测量设置标识值空间的划分方式仅为示例,测量设置标识值空间也可以为其他取值范围,第一测量设置标识值空间和第二测量设置标识值空间也可以采用其他划分方式,只要保证第一测量设置标识值空间和第二测量设置标识值空间不重叠即可,本申请对此不作限定。
在一些实施例中,感知代理设备可以根据测量设置是否因感知代理请求建立,将待建立的测量设置信息(包括但不限于表中的信息)分为两个表进行记录,如下表1和表2所示。其中,表1用于记录因代理请求而建立的测量设置的信息。表2用于记录非因代理请求而建立的测量设置的信息。
表1
Figure PCTCN2022070825-appb-000001
表2
Figure PCTCN2022070825-appb-000002
如表1所示,感知代理请求设备1(一个关联的设备,例如设备ID为AID,其值为1)请求感知代理设备0(AID值为0)建立了两个测量设置,其中一个测量设置ID值为16,另一个的测量设置ID值为17,均为基于触发的测量流程(例如,感知流程类型值为0)。感知代理请求设备4(AID值为4)请求感知代理设备0(AID值为0)建立了一个测量设置,测量设置ID值为18,为非基于触发的测量流程(例如感知流程类型值为1)。三个测量设置的感知结果类型均为CSI(用类型值0表示)。
在测量设置16中,设备0和设备2既是感知信号发送设备又时感知信号接收设备,设备3仅为感知信号发送设备,设备5仅为感知信号接收设备,
在测量设置17中,设备0仅为感知信号发送设备,设备6仅为感知信号接收设备。
在测量设置18中,设备0仅为感知信号发送设备,设备5仅为感知信号接收设备。
如表2所示,感知代理设备0建立了两个非代理的测量设置,其中一个测量设置ID值为0,另一个的测量设置ID值为1,分别为基于触发的测量流程(例如,感知流程类型值为0)和非基于触发的测量流程(例如感知流程类型值为1)。两个测量设置的感知结果类型均为CSI(用类型值0表示)。
在测量设置0中,设备100既是感知信号发送设备又是感知信号接收设备,设备3仅为感知信号发送设备,设备5仅为感知信号接收设备,
在测量设置1中,设备0和设备7既是感知信号发送设备又是感知信号接收设备。
在本申请一些实施例中,所述方法200还包括:
若所述第二设备为第一测量设置的感知信号接收设备,所述第一设备根据第一测量实例是否被所述第一测量设置之外的其他测量设置共享,确定是否触发所述第二设备上报测量结果。
例如,若所述第一测量实例不被所述第一测量设置之外的其他测量设置共享,确定不触发所述第二设备上报测量结果,即第一测量实例的测量结果不需要上报给其他感知代理请求设备,因此,可以不触发第二设备上报测量结果。
又例如,若所述第一测量实例被所述第一测量设置之外的其他测量设置共享,但是所述第二设备的测量结果仅被所述第二设备使用的情况下,确定不触发所述第二设备上报测量结果。
换言之,若感知代理请求设备同时作为感知信号接收设备参与由于该感知代理请求设备发送的感知代理请求所建立的一个或多个测量设置,且该感知代理请求设备的测量结果不被所述的一个或多个感知测量设置以外的任一测量设置所使用,则在所述的一个或多个测量设置的测量实例的测量上报阶段或之后,感知代理设备不请求该感知代理请求设备上报相应测量实例的测量结果。
结合图11所示的具体示例说明。
如图11所示,感知代理请求设备(例如STA1)请求感知代理设备(例如AP)建立了测量设置M6,基于触发的测量实例G是独立的,非共享的,仅被测量设置M6所使用。在该测量实例G中,STA1也作为感知信号接收设备参与下行测量,此情况下,在上报阶段,为了减少网络负载,感知代理设备可以不请求该STA1上报测量实例G的测量结果,例如,在感知上报触发帧中不指示触发STA1。
又例如,感知发起设备(例如AP)建立了测量设置M7,感知代理请求设备(例如STA1)请求感知代理设备(例如AP)建立了测量设置M8,其中,对于测量设置M7,需要STA2和STA3上报测量结果,对于测量设置M8,需要STA1和STA2和STA3上报测量结果。基于触发的测量实例H是共享的,被测量设置M7和测量设置M8所使用。在该测量实例H中,STA1也作为感知信号接收设备参与下行测量。因为仅测量设置M8需要STA1的测量结果,因此,在上报阶段,为了减少网络负载,感知代理设备可以不请求该STA1上报测量实例H的测量结果,例如,在感知上报触发帧中不指示触发STA1。
以下,对承载第一信息的第一上报帧的帧格式设计进行说明,但本申请并不限于此。
在一些实施例中,第一上报帧可以为行动(Action)帧或无确认行动帧(Action No Ack)。
即,可以通过行动帧或无确认行动帧实现上报代理建立的感知过程的结果信息的功能。
在一些实施例中,可以利用已有的行动帧类型(例如,公共行动帧类型)承载代理建立的感知过程的结果信息,或者,也可以新增行动帧类型(例如保护感知行动帧类型(Protected Sensing Action Frames))用于承载代理建立的感知过程的结果信息。例如可以定义一种感知行动帧,该感知行动帧用于承载代理建立的感知过程的结果信息。

在一些实施例中,所述状态码字段可以为公共动作帧的动作域字段的子字段,该状态码字段在动作域字段中的具体位置仅为示例,本申请并不限于此。
此情况下,该状态码字段可以不区分测量设置,即对于下文中的所有测量设置信息字段对应的测量设置对应相同的建立结果信息或测量过程的执行结果信息。或者,也可以是区分测量设置的,例如,可以通过位图方式指示该第一上报帧中的各个测量设置信息字段对应的测量设置的建立结果信息或测量过程的执行结果信息。
在另一些实施例中,所述状态码字段可以为下文中的测量设置信息字段的子字段。
即,状态码字段可以是测量设置粒度的,例如指示对应的测量设置的建立结果信息或该测量设置对应的测量过程的执行结果信息。

可选地,该状态码字段设置为0以外的其他值表示失败(或者说,发生错误)。
可选地,该状态码字段还可以指示测量设置建立失败的原因信息和/或测量过程发生错误的原因信息。
作为示例而非限定,状态码字段设置为131表示因无足够数量的感知参与设备导致建立测量设置失败,设置为132表示因感知参与设备不能立即上报感知结果导致建立测量设置失败,设置为133表示测量过程中参与测量的感知参与设备的数量变少导致不能满足感知响应设备的最小数量要求,设置为134表示测量过程中感知响应设备的OM变化导致不能维持所建立的测量设置,设置为135表示BSS负载较高需要停止感知测量。
在一些实施例中,如图12所示,所述第一上报帧还包括测量设置上报字段,用于指示建立成功的测量设置的信息,或者,建立失败的测量设置的信息。

在一些实施例中,测量设置标识字段指示的测量设置标识属于第一测量设置标识值空间。
在一些实施例中,测量开始时间字段可以设置为目标时间的部分TSF值,或目标时间与当前时间的偏移值。
可选地,测量实例间隔时间字段设置为0为保留值,或者设置为0表示无固定间隔时间。
可选地,该间隔时间的单位可以为100微秒。例如,该测量实例间隔时间字段取值为1表示100微秒,取值为2表示200微秒,依次类推。
可选地,该间隔时间的单位可以为1微秒。例如,该测量实例间隔时间字段取值为1表示1毫秒,取值为2表示2毫秒,依次类推。
在一些实施例中,感知响应设备位图中的每个比特对应前述感知响应设备信息列表中的对应位置的感知响应设备。例如感知响应设备位图的第一个比特指示感知响应设备信息列表中的第一个感知响应设备信息,第二个比特指示第二个感知响应设备信息,依次类推。
作为一种实施例,若感知响应设备参与测量设置对应的感知测量,则将感知响应设备位图中的该感知响应设备对应的比特位设置为1,否则设置为0。
作为另一种实施例,若感知响应设备参与测量设置对应的感知测量,则将感知响应设备位图中的该感知响应设备对应的比特位设置为0,否则设置为1。
在一些实施例中,如图12所示,所述测量设置信息字段还包括测量设置信息控制域(Control)字段,用于指示后续的一个或多个字段是否存在。

进一步可选地,该感知代理请求设备可以根据该感知代理设备上报的信息,调整请求的感知需求信息,有利于实现成功的代理感知,提升用户体验。
图14是根据本申请实施例的另一种感知方法300的示意性交互图,该感知方法300为代理的感知过程的结束流程。
可选地,该代理的感知过程可以是基于显式请求结束的,例如基于感知代理设备的结束请求结束的,或者,也可以是基于感知代理请求设备的结束请求结束的,或者,也可以是隐式结束的,例如在该感知过程的存活时间(或者说,持续时间)超过一定时长后自动结束的。
应理解,该方法300和前述方法200独立实施,或者,也可以结合实施。例如,在方法200中的感知过程执行完毕的情况下,基于方法300中所述的结束流程结束该感知过程,或者,在方法200中的感知过程发生错误的情况下,基于方法300中所述的结束流程结束该感知过程等,本申请并不限于此。
以下,结合实施例三和实施例四,分别说明代理的感知过程的结束方式。
实施例三:
如图14所示,该方法300包括如下内容:
S310,第一设备根据第一结束帧结束感知过程或测量设置,其中,所述感知过程或所述测量设置是所述第一设备代理第二设备建立的,所述第一结束帧用于指示结束感知过程或测量设置。
其中,所述第一设备,第二设备,代理的感知过程的具体实现参考方法200的相关说明,为了简洁,这里不再赘述。
在一些实施例中,第一结束帧或称感知代理结束帧(SBP termination),或者代理结束帧等,本申请对于帧的命名不作限定。
在一些实施例中,所述第一结束帧用于指示结束感知过程或测量设置也可以表述为第一结束帧用于结束第二设备的感知代理请求(或称代理请求)。
在一些实施例中,该第一结束帧可以是所述第二设备发送给第一设备的。即第一设备可以向第二设备发送第一结束帧用于结束代理的感知过程,或者,结束代理的测量设置,或者,结束第二设备的感知代理请求。
在另一些实施例中,第一结束帧也可以是第一设备发送给第二设备的。即第二设备可以向第一设备发送第一结束帧用于结束代理的感知过程,或者,结束代理的测量设置,或者,结束第二设备的感知代理请求。
综上,代理建立的感知过程或测量设置的结束过程可以是感知代理设备发起的,或者,也可以是感知代理请求设备发起的。
在一些实施例中,所述第一结束帧可以是在任意阶段发送的,例如,在测量设置建立成功的情况下,或者,在测量设置建立失败的情况下,或者,在测量过程发生错误的情况下,或者,在测量过程执行成功的情况下,或者,在测量上报之后等,本申请对此不作限定。
作为示例,第一设备可以在BSS负荷超过预设门限的情况下,发送第一结束帧结束该感知过程,或者,结束代理建立的测量设置。
作为示例,第二设备可以在想要更换感知需求信息的情况下,向第一设备发送第一结束帧结束该感知过程。
在一些实施例中,所述第一结束帧包括待结束的测量设置对应的测量设置标识。可选地,该测量设置标识属于方法200中的第一测量设置标识值空间。
在一些实施例中,所述第一结束帧还包括结束该感知过程或该测量设置的原因信息。
在一些实施例中,所述结束感知过程或测量设置的原因信息可以包括前述测量设置建立失败的原因信息,或者,也可以包括前述测量过程发生错误的错误码和/或错误信息。
在本申请一些实施例中,所述第一设备可以根据第一结束帧发起该感知过程或测量设置的结束流 程。例如发起图10中步骤S2451~S2462所示的测量设置的结束流程。
在一些场景中,多个感知代理请求设备可能请求同一个感知代理设备建立测量设置,即第一设备可以作为多个感知代理请求设备的感知代理设备。
此情况下,在感知代理请求设备的感知需求相同或相近的情况下,感知代理设备可以将所建立的测量设置共享给多个感知代理请求设备。所述被共享的测量设置可以是感知代理设备发起建立的,也可以是感知代理设备根据感知代理请求设备的感知代理请求发起建立的。
在本申请另一些实施例中,所述第一设备根据待结束的测量设置是否被其他感知过程所共享,确定是否结束所述测量设置,其中,所述其他感知过程是所述第一设备基于其他感知代理请求设备的代理请求所代理建立的感知过程。
例如,若所述待结束的测量设置被其他感知过程共享,并且其他感知过程未结束所述测量设置(或者说,其他感知过程仍然在使用该测量设置),第一设备不结束所述测量设置。
又例如,若所述待结束的测量设置不被其他感知过程共享,第一设备结束所述测量设置。
举例说明,在家庭中,电源管理系统(例如运行在STA1中)关心房间里有没有人(示例性的,需要每20毫秒进行一次测量并上报测量结果),没有人的时候关闭灯光以节能;音响系统(例如运行在STA2中)关心房间里人的方位在哪(示例性的,需要每10毫秒进行一次测量并上报测量结果),这样,音响系统可以将声音对准人的方位,从而提升用户体验。
在一些实施例中,如图15所示,STA1首先请求感知代理设备(例如AP)建立测量设置,AP根据STA1的代理请求与感知参与设备STA3、STA4和STA5建立测量设置M1。
之后,STA2也请求该感知代理设备建立测量设置,该测量设置M1中的感知测量的频次信息不满足STA2的感知要求,则AP与STA3、STA4和STA5交互以更新测量设置M1的设置(例如,将测量频次从每秒50次更新为每秒100次),从而满足STA2的感知需求。将更新后的测量设置M1共享给STA2请求代理的感知过程,相当于更新后的测量设置M1即用于STA1请求建立的感知过程,也用于STA2请求建立的感知过程。
进一步地,感知代理设备接收到感知信号接收设备上报的测量结果后,可以将该测量结果数据发送给该测量设置M1所应用的感知过程对应的所有感知代理请求设备,例如,STA1和STA2。
