In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the process of wireless LAN awareness may be: the initiating device initiates wireless LAN awareness (for example, initiates a wireless LAN awareness session), and there may be multiple responding devices responding to it.

Wherein, the wireless LAN awareness initiating device and the wireless LAN awareness response device may include but are not limited to: cellular phones, smart phones, wearable devices, computers, personal digital assistants (PDA), personal communication system (PCS) devices, personal information managers (PIM), personal navigation devices (PND), global positioning systems, multimedia devices, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, etc.

For convenience of description, the wireless LAN awareness initiating device is called the initiating device and the wireless LAN awareness responding device is called the responding device.

For example, the client serves as the initiating device to initiate wireless LAN sensing, and multiple associated or non-associated sensing response devices (for example, three access points (AP, access points)) can respond. "Associated" here may mean that an associated connection for communication has been established between the initiating device and the responding device, and "non-associated" may mean that no associated connection for communication has been established between the initiating device and the responding device.

The sensing measurement parameters carried by the measurement establishment response frame determine the first message frame, and the first message frame is sent to the responding device to indicate acceptance or rejection of the sensing measurement parameters of the responding device.

Among them, the method and the device are based on the same public concept. Since the principles of solving problems of the method and the device are similar, the implementation of the device and the method can be referred to each other, and the repeated details will not be repeated.

As shown in Figure 1, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a communication method. Optionally, the method can be applied to a wireless LAN awareness initiating device. The communication method shown in Figure 1 may specifically include the following steps:

Step S11: Receive a wireless LAN sensing measurement establishment response frame carrying sensing measurement parameters of the wireless LAN sensing measurement response device.

Wherein, the wireless LAN perception measurement establishment parameter response frame carrying the perception measurement parameters of the responding device is when the responding device does not accept the perception measurement parameters of the initiating device after receiving the wireless LAN perception measurement establishment request frame sent by the initiating device. Message frame sent to reject the establishment request.

The sensing measurement parameters of the responding device carried in the wireless LAN sensing measurement establishment response frame are a set of preferred and acceptable sensing measurement parameters suggested by the responding device.

Among them, the sensing measurement parameters of the responding device or the initiating device include but are not limited to the bandwidth (BW) supported by the sensing measurement, the number of long training fields (Long Training Field, LFT), and the number of spatial streams (SS), etc. Relevant parameters are not limited here.

Among them, the wireless LAN sensing measurement establishment response frame includes a status code (Status Code) field. When the sensing measurement establishment parameters of the initiating device are not accepted, the identification value of the status code field is set to PREFERRED_MEASURMENT_SETUP_PARAMETERS_SUGGESTED, which is used to indicate the rejection of the wireless LAN sensing measurement establishment. request, and carry a set of preferred and acceptable sensing measurement parameters in the wireless LAN sensing measurement establishment response message frame, and carry the sensing measurement parameters through the sensing measurement parameter information element field.

To determine whether the actual requirements and related conditions of the sensing measurement are met, and then further determine the first message frame based on the parsing results.

Step S13: Send the first message frame.

The first message frame is used to instruct the initiating device to accept or reject the sensing measurement parameters of the responding device, that is, to indicate that the sensing measurement parameters of the responding device meet or do not meet the actual requirements and related conditions of sensing measurement.

In the communication method applied to the initiating device provided by the present disclosure, as an optional embodiment, in the case where the first message frame is used to indicate acceptance of the sensing measurement parameters of the responding device, the first message frame is an acknowledgment (ACK) )frame.

When the identification value of the measurement establishment identification field in the first message frame is the eighth value when accepting the sensing measurement parameters of the responding device, it is used to indicate rejecting the sensing measurement parameters of the responding device.

Among them, the seventh value and the eighth value are different values.

The seventh value is consistent with the identification value of the measurement establishment identification field in the wireless LAN awareness measurement establishment request frame sent by the initiating device during the wireless LAN awareness measurement establishment process. The eighth value can be determined based on actual needs and is not limited here. .

As an example, in the case where the identification value of the measurement establishment identification field in the wireless LAN awareness measurement establishment request frame sent by the initiating device is 5, the initiating device may determine the identification value of the measurement establishment identification field in the first message frame as 5, to indicate that the responding device's sensing measurement establishment parameters are accepted by the initiating device, or the initiating device can determine the identification value of the measurement establishment identification field in the first message frame to a value other than 5 (such as 6) to indicate the response. The device's sensing measurement establishment parameters were rejected by the initiating device.
