随着移动通信技术的迅速发展，无线保真(Wireless Fidelity，Wi-Fi)技术在传输速率以及吞吐量等方面已经取得了巨大的进步。目前，Wi-Fi技术所研究的内容例如320Mhz的带宽传输、多个频段的聚合及协同等，其主要的应用场景例如视频传输、增强现实(Augmented Reality，AR)、虚拟现实(Virtual Reality，VR)等。
在目前所研究的Wi-Fi技术中，可能会支持无线局域网(Wireless Local Area Network，WLAN)感知(Sensing)技术。例如，在密集环境下(例如家庭环境及企业环境)的位置发现、接近检测(Proximity Detection)及存在检测(Presence Detection)等应用场景。在WLAN Sensing的过程中，站点设备(Station，STA)和接入点设备(Access Point，AP)的身份通常可以互换，例如二者均可以作为发起端设备(SensingInitiator或SensingTransmitter)；作为SensingInitiator或SensingTransmitter时，AP可以同时和多个STA进行通信，但STA不具备上述功能，只能与单个响应端(Sensing Responder)之间一对一通信，一方面造成频谱资源浪费，另一方面造成时延增加，对于时延要求较高的通信场景，可能无法满足时延要求。为了解决该问题，提出了用AP代理STA进行感知测量的方式，并且需要继续完善AP代理STA发起感知测量的测量过程。

下面将结合本公开实施例中的附图，对本公开实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述，显然，所描述的实施例仅仅是本公开一部分实施例，并不是全部的实施例。基于本公开中的实施例，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，都属于本公开保护的范围。
本公开实施例提供了一种通信方法及装置、电子设备及存储介质，用以完善AP代理STA发起感知测量的测量过程。
其中，方法和装置是基于同一申请构思的，由于方法和装置解决问题的原理相似，因此装置和方法的实施可以相互参见，重复之处不再赘述。
如图1中所示，本公开实施例提供了一种通信方法，可选地，所述方法可应用于站点设备(Station，STA)，该方法可以包括以下步骤：
步骤101，发送第一无线帧；其中，所述第一无线帧中包括第一感知代理信息；所述第一感知代理信息指示所述STA是否支持在无线局域网WLAN的感知测量过程中作为发起端设备时，由代理设备代理所述STA进行WLAN感知测量。
作为第一示例，参见图2至图4，首先介绍本公开实施例提供的通信方法所应用的WLAN Sensing的架构以及WLAN Sensing过程。
图2示出了一种WLAN Sensing(过程)的架构示意图；其中，感知发起端(或发起端)发起WLAN Sensing(例如，发起WLAN感知会话)，可能存在着多个感知响应端(Sensing Responder，或感知接收端)或响应端对其响应，如图2中的响应端1、响应端2和响应端3所示。当感知发起端发起WLAN Sensing时，多个关联或者非关联的WLAN Sensing的感知响应端可以进行响应。
参见图3，感知发起端与感知响应端之间通过通信连接通信，如通信连接S1所示；感知响应端之间通过通信连接S2通信。
其中，每个感知发起端可以是一个客户端(Client)；每个感知响应端(在本示例中，即感知响应端1至感知响应端3)可以是一个站点设备(STA)或接入点设备AP。此外，STA和AP可以在WLAN感知过程中承担多个角色；例如，在WLAN感知过程中，STA还可以作为感知发起者，感知发起者可能是感知发射器(Sensing Transmitter)、感知接收器(Sensing Receiver)，或两者都是，或都不是。在WLAN感知过程中，感知响应端也可能是感知发射器、感知接收器或两者都是。
作为另一种架构，如图4所示，感知发起端、感知响应端还可以均为客户端，二者可以通过连接到同一接入点设备(AP)进行通信；图4中Client1为感知发起端，Client2为感知响应端。
其中，代理设备代理所述STA进行WLAN感知测量可以包括代理下行感知测量以及代理上行感知测量中的至少一种；代理下行感知测量例如代理设备(例如AP)发送NDPA帧，然后再发送NDP帧；代理上行感知测量例如代理设备发送触发(trigger)帧，然后接收STA发送的NDP帧的。
以代理端设备为AP为例，在AP代理STA进行感知测量的场景中，AP执行代理操作之前，STA向发送第一无线帧，通过第一无线帧指示给AP其支持被代理进行感知测量；可选地，第一无线帧可以是探测请求帧、关联请求帧或多连接探测请求帧等。
其中，所述第一无线帧中包括第一感知代理信息(Sensing By Proxy，SBP)；所述第一感知代理信息指示所述STA是否支持在无线局域网WLAN的感知测量过程中作为发起端设备时，由代理设备代理所述STA进行WLAN感知测量，也即第一感知代理信息指示STA是否支持被AP代理进行感知测量。可以理解的是，在多连接场景下，所述第一感知代理信息为多连接级的。
由于在作为SensingInitiator或SensingTransmitter时，STA不具备和多个接收端同时进行通信的功能，因此需要AP代理STA进行感知测量。 而在AP代理STA进行感知测量之前，STA通过第一感知代理信息指示其是否支持被代理的能力信息，使得AP根据所述能力信息确定是否代理STA发起感知测量的测量过程，完善代理测量过程。例如，若STA支持被代理进行感知测量，则AP可以发起感知测量。可以理解的是，若STA为支持多连接(例如支持802.11be通信协议)的设备，则第一感知代理信息指示其在各个连接下的被代理的能力信息。
本公开实施例中，STA发送第一无线帧，在第一无线帧中携带第一感知代理信息，通过所述第一感知代理信息指示所述STA是否支持由代理设备代理其进行WLAN感知测量，完善代理测量过程。本公开实施例提供了一种指示STA是否支持由代理设备代理其进行WLAN感知测量的方式。
可选地，本公开实施例中，所述第一无线帧包括探测请求Probe Request帧、多连接探测请求ML Probe Request帧、关联请求Association Request帧、重关联请求Reassociation Request帧以及认证请求Authentication Request帧中的至少一种。
STA在向AP发送上述第一无线帧时，通过第一无线帧指示其是否支持由代理设备代理其进行WLAN感知测量。可以理解的是，除此之外，目标无线帧还可能包括其他形式，本公开实施例在此不做具体限定。
可选地，所述第一感知代理信息携带在所述第一无线帧的扩展能力信息元素(extended capabilities)中，作为第二示例，extended capabilities格式如以下表1所示：
表1：
Figure PCTCN2022072080-appb-000001
Figure PCTCN2022072080-appb-000002
其中，第一感知代理信息的内容可以如以下表2所示：
表2：
Figure PCTCN2022072080-appb-000003
其中，可以占据extended capabilities的第98个比特位；例如“1”表示支持，“0”表示不支持。
参见图5，本公开实施例还提供了一种通信方法，可选地，所述方法可应用于站点设备STA，该方法可以包括以下步骤：
步骤501，在与接入点设备AP的初始关联过程中，发送第一无线帧。
其中，所述代理设备为接入点设备AP；所述第一无线帧中包括第一感知代理信息；所述第一感知代理信息指示所述STA是否支持在无线局域网WLAN的感知测量过程中作为发起端设备时，由代理设备代理所述STA进行WLAN感知测量。
其中，“关联”可以指感知发起端与感知接收端之间建立了用于通信的关联连接，“非关联”可以指感知发起端与感知接收端之间未建立用于通信的关联连接。在与接入点设备AP的初始关联过程中，即与接入点设备初始建立通信连接的过程中，STA通过所述第一感知代理信息指示是否 支持由代理设备代理其进行WLAN感知测量，完善代理测量过程。
参见图6，本公开实施例还提供了一种通信方法，可选地，所述方法可应用于站点设备STA，该方法可以包括以下步骤：
步骤601，接收AP发送的第二无线帧。
其中，第二无线帧可以是信标帧、探测响应帧等。
步骤602，获取所述第二无线帧中的第二感知代理信息；其中，所述第二感知代理信息指示所述AP是否支持在WLAN感知测量过程中代理STA进行WLAN感知测量。
其中，所述第二感知代理信息指示AP是否支持在WLAN感知测量过程中代理STA进行WLAN感知测量，也即第二感知代理信息指示AP否支持被AP代理进行感知测量。可以理解的是，在多连接场景下，所述第二感知代理信息为多连接级的。
若所述第二感知代理信息指示所述AP支持在WLAN感知测量过程中代理STA进行WLAN感知测量，所述发送第一无线帧之后，所述方法还包括：
向所述AP发送第三无线帧；其中，所述第三无线帧指示所述AP代理所述STA进行WLAN感知测量。
可选地，第三无线帧可以是代理请求帧，在STA与AP分别互相通知代理能力信息，且二者均支持AP代理感知测量时，STA可向AP发送代理请求帧，请求AP代理所述STA进行WLAN感知测量。
本公开实施例中，STA发送第一无线帧，在第一无线帧中携带第一感知代理信息，通过所述第一感知代理信息指示所述STA是否支持由代理设备代理其进行WLAN感知测量，完善代理测量过程。本公开实施例提供了一种指示STA是否支持由代理设备代理其进行WLAN感知测量的方式。
在本公开实施中，上述的多个实施例可以单独被执行，也可以结合在 一起被执行。
例如，STA可以执行步骤101以发送第一无线帧并执行步骤601以接收AP的第二无线帧(两个步骤没有先后时隙的限制)；在STA和AP都支持由代理设备代理STA进行WLAN感知测量，则发送第三无线帧以指示对应的AP代理STA进行WLAN感知测量。在一种可能的实现方式中，STA首先发送第一无线帧以指示STA支持由代理设备代理STA进行WLAN感知测量，AP在接收到第一无线帧确定STA支持由代理设备代理STA进行WLAN感知测量，才上报第二无线帧以上报所述AP是否支持由代理设备代理STA进行WLAN感知测量。在另一种可能的实现方式中，STA在接收到AP发送的第二无线帧以确定AP支持由代理设备代理STA进行WLAN感知测量，才发送第一无线帧。在又一种可能的实现方式中，STA发送第一无线帧，AP发送第二无线帧，两者并无时限关系和触发关系。
又例如，STA可以不需要通知AP其是否支持由代理设备代理STA进行WLAN感知测量；而STA在接收到AP发送的第二无线帧以确定该AP支持由代理设备代理STA进行WLAN感知测量，则发送第三无线帧以指示对应的AP代理STA进行WLAN感知测量。
再例如，STA可以不需要得知AP是否支持由代理设备代理STA进行WLAN感知测量；则该STA执行步骤101以通过第一无线帧通知AP该STA支持代理设备代理STA进行WLAN感知测量，并发送第三无线帧以指示对应的AP代理STA进行WLAN感知测量。在一种可能的实现方式中，如果没有收到AP不支持由代理设备代理STA进行WLAN感知测量的消息，则发送第三无线帧以指示对应的AP代理STA进行WLAN感知测量。
又再例如：STA可以不需要通知AP该STA是否支持由代理设备代理STA进行WLAN感知测量，也不需要得知AP是否支持由代理设备代理STA进行WLAN感知测量；该STA发送第三无线帧以指示对应的AP代理STA进行WLAN感知测量。在一种可能的实现方式中，STA送第三 无线帧以指示对应的AP代理STA进行WLAN感知测量；若收到AP发送的其不支持由代理设备代理STA进行WLAN感知测量的消息，则放弃指示该AP代理STA进行WLAN感知测量的消息。
参见图7，本公开实施例还提供了一种通信方法，应用于接入点设备AP，所述方法包括：
步骤701，发送第二无线帧；其中，所述第二无线帧中包括第二感知代理信息；所述第二感知代理信息指示所述AP是否支持在WLAN感知测量过程中代理站点设备STA进行WLAN感知测量。
其中，本公开实施例提供的WLAN感知测量方法的所应用WLAN Sensing的架构以及WLAN Sensing过程参考前述第一示例，在此不再赘述。
其中，代理设备代理所述STA进行WLAN感知测量可以包括代理下行感知测量以及代理上行感知测量中的至少一种；代理下行感知测量例如代理设备(例如AP)发送NDPA帧，然后再发送NDP帧；代理上行感知测量例如代理设备发送触发(trigger)帧，然后接收STA发送的NDP帧的。
在AP代理STA进行感知测量的场景中，AP执行代理操作之前，向STA发送第二无线帧，通过第二无线帧指示给STA其是否支持在WLAN感知测量过程中代理站点设备STA进行WLAN感知测量；可选地，第二无线帧可以是信标帧、探测响应帧、关联响应帧等。
其中，所述第二无线帧中包括第二感知代理信息(Sensing By Proxy，SBP)；所述第二感知代理信息指示其是否支持在WLAN感知测量过程中代理站点设备STA进行WLAN感知测量，也即第二感知代理信息指示AP是否支持代理STA进行感知测量。可以理解的是，在多连接场景下，所述第二感知代理信息为多连接级的。
由于在作为SensingInitiator或SensingTransmitter时，STA不具备和多个接收端同时进行通信的功能，因此需要AP代理STA进行感知测量。 而在AP代理STA进行感知测量之前，通过第二感知代理信息指示其是否支持代理STA进行感知测量的能力信息，使得STA根据所述能力信息确定是否请求AP代理STA发起感知测量的测量过程，完善代理测量过程。例如，若AP支持代理STA进进行感知测量，则STA可以请求AP发起感知测量。可以理解的是，若AP为支持多连接(例如支持802.11be通信协议)的设备，则第二感知代理信息指示其在各个连接下的代理发起感知测量并向发起端反馈感知测量结果的能力信息。
本公开实施例中，AP发送第二无线帧，在第二无线帧中携带第二感知代理信息，通过所述第二感知代理信息指示所述AP是否支持代理STA进行WLAN感知测量，完善代理测量过程。本公开实施例提供了一种指示AP是否支持代理STA进行WLAN感知测量的方式。
可选地，本公开实施例中，所述第二无线帧包括信标Beacon帧、探测响应Probe Response帧、多连接探测响应ML Probe Response帧、关联响应Association Response帧、重关联响应Reassociation Response帧以及认证响应Authentication Response帧中的至少一种。
AP在STA向发送上述第二无线帧时，通过第二无线帧指示其是否支持代理STA进行WLAN感知测量。可以理解的是，除此之外，目标无线帧还可能包括其他形式，本公开实施例在此不做具体限定。
可选地，所述第二感知代理信息携带在所述第二无线帧的扩展能力信息元素(extended capabilities)中，作为第三示例，extended capabilities格式如以下表3所示：
表3：
Figure PCTCN2022072080-appb-000004
Figure PCTCN2022072080-appb-000005
其中，第二感知代理信息的内容可以如以下表4所示：
表4：
Figure PCTCN2022072080-appb-000006
其中，第二感知代理信息可以占据extended capabilities的第99个比特位，例如“1”表示支持，“0”表示不支持；且在支持的情况下，AP将作为代理设备发起WLAN sensing测量过程，以及回复感知测量结果给initiator(STA)。
参见图8，本公开实施例还提供了一种通信方法，可选地，所述方法可应用于接入点设备，该方法可以包括以下步骤
步骤801，在与STA的初始关联过程中，发送所述第二无线帧。
其中，所述第二无线帧中包括第二感知代理信息；所述第二感知代理信息指示所述AP是否支持在WLAN感知测量过程中代理站点设备STA进行WLAN感知测量。
其中，“关联”可以指感知发起端与感知接收端之间建立了用于通信 的关联连接，“非关联”可以指感知发起端与感知接收端之间未建立用于通信的关联连接。在与站点设备的初始关联过程中，即与站点设备初始建立通信连接的过程中，AP通过所述第二感知代理信息指示是否支持代理站点设备进行WLAN感知测量，完善代理测量过程。
参见图9，本公开实施例还提供了一种通信方法，可选地，所述方法可应用于接入点设备，该方法可以包括以下步骤
步骤901，接收STA发送的第一无线帧。
其中，在AP代理STA进行感知测量的场景中，AP执行代理操作之前，AP接收STA发送的第一无线帧。可选地，第一无线帧可以是探测请求帧、关联请求帧等。
步骤902，获取所述第一无线帧中的第一感知代理信息；其中，所述第一感知代理信息指示所述STA是否支持在无线局域网WLAN的感知测量过程中作为发起端设备时，由代理设备代理所述STA进行WLAN感知测量。
其中，所述第一无线帧中包括第一感知代理信息(Sensing By Proxy，SBP)；所述第一感知代理信息指示所述STA是否支持在无线局域网WLAN的感知测量过程中作为发起端设备时，由代理设备代理所述STA进行WLAN感知测量，也即第一感知代理信息指示STA是否支持被AP代理进行感知测量。AP根据所述能力信息确定是否代理STA发起感知测量的测量过程，完善代理测量过程
若所述第一感知代理信息指示所述STA支持在无线局域网WLAN的感知测量过程中作为发起端设备，所述发送第二无线帧之后，所述方法还包括：
接收所述STA发送第三无线帧；
响应于所述第三无线帧，代理所述STA进行WLAN感知测量。
可选地，第三无线帧可以是代理请求帧，在STA与AP分别互相通知代理能力信息，且二者均支持AP代理感知测量时，AP可接收代理请求 帧，并根据代理请求帧代理所述STA进行WLAN感知测量。
本公开实施例中，AP发送第二无线帧，在第二无线帧中携带第二感知代理信息，通过所述第二感知代理信息指示所述AP是否支持代理STA进行WLAN感知测量，完善代理测量过程。本公开实施例提供了一种指示AP是否支持代理STA进行WLAN感知测量的方式。
在本公开实施中，上述的多个实施例可以单独被执行，也可以结合在一起被执行。
例如，AP可以执行步骤801以发送第二无线帧，并执行步骤901以接收第一无线帧(两个步骤没有先后时隙的限制)；在STA确定了STA和AP都支持由代理设备代理STA进行WLAN感知测量，接收第三无线帧执行AP代理STA进行WLAN感知测量。在一种可能的实现方式中，AP首先上报第二无线帧，再接收第一无线帧；即，STA在确定AP支持由代理设备代理STA进行WLAN感知测量，才发送第一无线帧。在另一种可能的实现方式中，AP在接收到第一无线帧后，上报第二无线帧；即，AP确定STA支持由代理设备代理STA进行WLAN感知测量，才发送第二无线帧。在又一种可能的实现方式中，STA发送第一无线帧，AP发送第二无线帧，两者并无时限关系和触发关系。
又例如，AP可以无需通过第一无线帧得知STA由代理设备代理STA进行WLAN感知测量(即，AP不执行步骤901)；即AP发送第二无线帧以上报该AP支持由代理设备代理STA进行WLAN感知测量。进一步的，在STA支持由代理设备代理STA进行WLAN感知测量的场景下，AP接收STA发送第三无线帧以指示对应的AP代理STA进行WLAN感知测量。
再例如，AP接收STA发送第三无线帧以指示对应的AP代理STA进行WLAN感知测量。在AP不支持STA进行WLAN感知测量的场景下，发送反馈帧以上报该AP不支持STA进行WLAN感知测量。
又再例如：AP可以执行步骤901以接收第一无线帧；响应于确定STA支持由代理设备代理STA进行WLAN感知测量，若AP支持代理STA进行WLAN感知测量，AP无需发送第二无线帧。即，根据通信协议或是默认设置，AP默认支持代理STA进行WLAN感知测量。STA没有收到AP不支持代理STA进行WLAN感知测量的反馈帧的场景下，AP接收STA发送的第三无线帧，代理所述STA进行WLAN感知测量。
又再例如：AP可以执行步骤901以接收第一无线帧；响应于确定STA支持由代理设备代理STA进行WLAN感知测量，若AP不支持代理STA进行WLAN感知测量，则发送反馈帧以通知STA。
