无线感知技术旨在获取有关远程物体及其特性的信息，而无需物理接触远程物体本身。通过对物体及其周围的感知数据进行分析，从而获得有关物体及其特性的有意义的信息。
雷达是一种广泛使用的无线感知技术，它利用无线电波来确定物体的距离(范围)、角度或瞬时线速度。还有包括非射频感知器等其他感知技术，这些技术已用于例如飞行时间(ToF)摄像头、加速度计、陀螺仪和激光雷达等其他领域。
3GPP 5G系统中的集成感知和通信，是由用于通信的5G NR无线通信系统和基础设施提供感知能力，并且感知信息可以来自基于射频和/或非射频的感知器。一般来说，它可以涉及通信辅助感知的场景，例如5G通信系统提供感知服务或感知辅助通信；例如与通信信道或环境相关的感知信息用于改善5G系统本身的通信服务；例如感知信息可用于辅助无线电资源管理、干扰缓解、波束管理、移动性等。
在多个细分市场和垂直领域，基于5G的感知服务可以为智能交通、航空、企业、智慧城市、智能家居、工厂、消费应用、扩展现实(Extended Reality，简称XR)和公共部门带来好处。移动运营商可以在向消费者提供基于5GS的集成感知和通信方面发挥重要作用，可包括5G感知业务管控。
此外，运营商在增强V2X类型服务方面可以发挥作用，特别是用于基础设施辅助环境感知、基于基础设施的遥控驾驶、高清地图采集共享和遥控驾驶支持。

空气污染监测：接收到的无线信号质量随空气湿度、空气颗粒物(PM)浓度、载波频率等变化呈现不同的衰减特性，可用于天气或空气质量检测。
室内保健和入侵检测。可实现呼吸频率估计、呼吸深度估计、呼吸暂停检测、老年人生命体征监测和室内入侵检测。
无线通信信道和环境的感知可以进一步提高通信系统的性能。感知辅助通信场景的示例包括：

以下为卫星NR-RAN作为示例，对本公开实施例提供的技术方案进行进一步说明。
参见图6，为本公开实施例提供的一种基于NTN的感知服务系统的架构示意图。如图6所示，卫星携带具备接入网设备功能的有效载荷(Payload)。用户设备(UE)和接入网设备(gNB)通过NR-UU接口连接，卫星与NTN信关站(Gateway)之间建立馈线链路(Feeder link)，NTN基础设施可以经由非NTN基础设施gNB功能与AMF、UPF以及感知应用功能(Sensing Application Function，SAF)分别建立无线反馈链路。此外，SAF可以与PCF连接，还可以经由UPF与连接AMF的SMF连接。
其中，感知应用功能可以获取到具有感知能力的卫星所感知的环境和/或物体的信息。
非NTN基础设施gNB功能和SAF之间的接口可以基于运营商配置的IP连接，例如gNB配置了IP地址A，SAF配置了IP地址B，那么可以通过例如TCP/HTTP协议建立由gNB(IP A)到SAF(IP B)的IP连接。
参见图7，本公开实施例提供一种信息处理方法，可以包括以下步骤：
1：卫星gNB(Satellite-gNB)向SAF发送注册请求消息；注册请求消息携带有注册信息。
卫星gNB根据预配置的SAF的IP地址，启动注册过程，向SAF发送注册请求消息。
这里，卫星gNB可以作为NR发射机和接收机；卫星gNB可以支持3GPP NR感知能力和非3GPP 感知能力(例如雷达、摄像头和红外线)。SAF被授权启用感知服务。
所述注册信息可以包括以下至少一项：
卫星gNB的ID(例如S-ITU ID、COSPAR ID和/或NSSDC ID)、感知实体类型或者感知客户端类型、具有感知能力的卫星指示；
卫星星历；
卫星支持的感知能力。

所述具有感知能力的卫星指示，表示卫星gNB或卫星具有感知能力。
卫星支持的感知能力可包括：3GPP NR感知能力(例如感知范围、频率、精度)和/或非3GPP感知能力(例如具有感知范围和精度的雷达、相机和红外线)。
2：SAF向卫星gNB发送注册接受消息。
3：SAF向卫星gNB发送感知请求消息。
SAF根据接收到的注册信息和感知需求(感知需求例如，服务类型、感知位置/区域、和/或时间等)，选择能够满足感知需求的感知卫星，并向该卫星发送感知请求消息。
4：卫星gNB向SAF返回感知响应消息。
卫星根据SAF的感知请求消息执行感知，并在感知响应消息中向SAF报告感知数据和/或感知结果，其中包括用于获取感知数据和/或感知结果的使用技术：3GPP NR和/或Non-3GPP(雷达、相机和/或红外线等)。
这里，感知结果可以是基于感知数据得到的分析结果。
上述信息处理方法中，通过向感知应用功能提供卫星gNB的感知能力和卫星星历，在无线通信网络中，可以使得卫星gNB向SAF报告感知数据和/或感知结果来支持感知服务。
