The following description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this disclosure, all other embodiments that a person of ordinary skill in the art would obtain without making any inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the flow of wireless local area network awareness may be: the initiating device initiates wireless local area network awareness (e.g., initiates a wireless local area network aware session) to which there may be multiple responding devices responding.

Wherein the wireless local area network aware initiating device and the wireless local area network aware responding device may include, but are not limited to: a cellular phone, a smart phone, a wearable device, a computer, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a Personal Communication System (PCS) device, a Personal Information Manager (PIM), a Personal Navigation Device (PND), a global positioning system, a multimedia device, an internet of things (IoT) device, and so forth.

For convenience of description, the wireless local area network aware initiating device will be referred to as an initiating device and the wireless local area network aware responding device will be referred to as a responding device hereinafter.

For example, a client (client) as an initiating device initiates wireless local area network awareness, and multiple associated or unassociated awareness responding devices (e.g., three access points) may respond. "associated" herein may refer to an associated connection being established between the initiating device and the responding device for communication, and "unassociated" may refer to an associated connection not being established between the initiating device and the responding device for communication.

An AP is a wireless switch for a wireless network and is also an access device for a wireless network. The AP may include software applications and/or circuitry to enable other types of nodes in the wireless network to communicate with the outside and inside of the wireless network through the AP. As an example, the AP may be a terminal device or a network device equipped with a Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity ) chip.

Wherein communication is possible between a plurality of responding devices. For example, the initiating device and the responding device may both be clients and both may communicate by connecting to the same AP.

Although in the above description the client acts as an initiating device and the AP acts as a responding device, the disclosure is not limited thereto, e.g., the AP may act as an initiating device and the client may act as a responding device. Furthermore, the number of initiating devices and responding devices is not limited.

The embodiment of the disclosure provides a communication method, a device, equipment and a storage medium, which are used for enabling an initiating device to determine a first message frame based on a sensing measurement parameter carried by a wireless local area network sensing measurement establishment response frame under the condition that the wireless local area network sensing measurement establishment response frame carrying the sensing measurement parameter sent by a response device is received, and sending the first message frame to the response device to indicate acceptance or rejection of the sensing measurement parameter of the response device.

The method and the device are based on the same disclosure, and because the principles of solving the problems by the method and the device are similar, the implementation of the device and the method can be referred to each other, and the repetition is not repeated.

As shown in fig. 1, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a communication method, which may alternatively be applied to a wireless local area network aware originating device. The communication method shown in fig. 1 specifically includes the following steps:

step S11, receiving a wireless local area network perception measurement establishment response frame carrying the perception measurement parameters of the wireless local area network perception measurement response device.

The wireless local area network perception measurement establishment parameter response frame carrying the perception measurement parameters of the response device is a message frame which is sent by the response device and used for rejecting the establishment request under the condition that the perception measurement parameters of the initiating device are not accepted after the response device receives the wireless local area network perception measurement establishment request frame sent by the initiating device.

The wireless local area network sensing measurement establishes that sensing measurement parameters of the response device carried by the response frame are a set of preferred and acceptable sensing measurement parameters recommended by the response device.

The sensing measurement parameters of the responding device or the initiating device include, but are not limited to, relevant parameters such as Bandwidth (BW) supported by sensing measurement, number of long training fields (Long Training Field, LFT), and number of Spatial Streams (SSs), which are not limited herein.

For example, the sensing measurement parameters carried by the wireless local area network sensing measurement setup response frame may be SS 3, bw 80MHz, etc. supported by the sensing measurement.

The wireless local area network sensing measurement SETUP response frame comprises a Status Code (Status Code) field, when the sensing measurement SETUP PARAMETERS of the initiating device are not accepted, the identification value of the Status Code field is set to PREFERRED _measurement_setup_parameters_SUGGESTED, and the Status Code field is used for indicating that the wireless local area network sensing measurement SETUP request is refused, and a group of preferred and acceptable sensing measurement PARAMETERS are carried in the wireless local area network sensing measurement SETUP response message frame, and the sensing measurement PARAMETERS are carried through a sensing measurement parameter information element field.

Step S12, determining a first message frame based on the perceptual measurement parameters.

After receiving the wireless local area network sensing measurement establishment response frame carrying the sensing measurement parameters of the response device, namely after the received wireless local area network sensing measurement establishment response frame carries the sensing measurement parameters determined by the response device, the initiating device analyzes the sensing measurement parameters to determine whether the actual requirements and related conditions of sensing measurement are met or not, and further determines a first message frame according to the analysis result.

Step S13, a first message frame is sent.

The first message frame is used for indicating the initiating device to accept or reject the sensing measurement parameters of the responding device, namely, indicating 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 in the present disclosure, as an optional embodiment, in a case where the first message frame is used to indicate that the sensing measurement parameter of the responding device is accepted, the first message frame is an Acknowledgement (ACK) frame.

As an example, the initiating device sends an ACK frame to the responding device to indicate acceptance of the sensing measurement parameters of the responding device if it is determined that the sensing measurement parameters of the responding device meet the actual requirements of the sensing measurement and the associated conditions.

In the communication method applied to the initiating device provided by the disclosure, the first message frame may be a variable of a wireless local area network sensing measurement establishment request frame, and the first message frame may be obtained by changing a format of the wireless local area network sensing measurement establishment request frame. Or redefining the frame of the wireless local area network sensing measurement setup request message to obtain a first message frame under the condition that the format of the wireless local area network sensing measurement setup request frame is not changed.

In the communication method applied to the initiating device, the first message frame includes a status code field, the identification value of the status code field is used for indicating to accept the sensing measurement parameter of the responding device when the identification value of the status code field is a first value, and the identification value of the status code field is used for indicating to reject the sensing measurement parameter of the responding device when the identification value of the status code field is a second value.

The first value and the second value are inconsistent, and the first value and the second value may be specifically determined based on actual requirements, which is not limited herein.

As an example, the initiating device determines the identification value of the status code field as success in case of accepting the perception measurement setup parameter of the responding device, to indicate that its perception measurement setup parameter is accepted by the initiating device.

As an example, the initiating device determines the identification value of the status code field as reject in case of rejecting the sensing measurement setup parameter of the responding device to indicate that its sensing measurement setup parameter is rejected by the initiating device.

In the communication method applied to the initiating device provided by the disclosure, the first message frame includes a Public Action (Public Action) domain, the identification value of the Public Action domain in the first message frame is used for indicating to accept the perception measurement parameter of the responding device when the identification value of the Public Action domain in the first message frame is a third value, and the identification value of the Public Action domain in the first message frame is used for indicating to reject the perception measurement parameter of the responding device when the identification value of the Public Action domain in the first message frame is a fourth value.

Wherein the third value and the fourth value are different values.

The third value is consistent with the identification value of the public action domain in the wireless local area network perception measurement establishment request frame sent by the initiating device or the wireless local area network perception measurement establishment response frame sent by the responding device in the wireless local area network perception measurement establishment process, and the fourth value can be determined based on actual requirements without limitation.

The first message frame may instruct the first message frame to be used for responding to the wireless local area network sensing measurement setup response frame carrying the sensing measurement parameters thereof sent by the response device under the condition that the identification value of the public action domain is determined to be the third value, so as to instruct the response device to accept the sensing measurement parameters of the response device.

The first message frame may indicate that the response frame is not responded to the wireless local area network sensing measurement setup response frame carrying the sensing measurement parameters thereof sent by the response device, under the condition that the identification value of the public action domain is determined to be the fourth value, and may further indicate that the response frame refuses to respond to the sensing measurement parameters of the device.

As an example, in the case where the identification value of the public action domain in the wireless local area network perception measurement setup request frame sent by the initiating device is 1, or in the case where the identification value of the public action domain in the received wireless local area network perception measurement setup response frame is 1, the initiating device may determine the identification value of the public action domain in the first message frame to be 1 to indicate that the responding device has accepted the perception measurement setup parameter by the initiating device, or the initiating device may determine the identification value of the public action domain in the first message frame to be other than 1 (e.g., 2) to indicate that the perception measurement setup parameter of the responding device is rejected by the initiating device.

In the communication method applied to the initiating device provided by the disclosure, the first message frame includes a Dialog Token (Dialog Token) field, the identification value of the Dialog Token field in the first message frame is used for indicating that the sensing measurement parameter of the responding device is accepted when the identification value of the Dialog Token field in the first message frame is a fifth value, and the identification value of the Dialog Token field in the first message frame is used for indicating that the sensing measurement parameter of the responding device is refused when the identification value of the Dialog Token field in the first message frame is a sixth value.

Wherein the fifth value and the sixth value are different values.

The fifth value is consistent with the identification value of the session token field in the wireless local area network perception measurement establishment request frame sent by the initiating device or the wireless local area network perception measurement establishment response frame sent by the responding device in the wireless local area network perception measurement establishment process, and the sixth value can be determined based on actual requirements without limitation.

The first message frame may indicate that the first message frame corresponds to the same sensing measurement setup procedure with the wireless local area network sensing measurement setup request frame and the wireless local area network sensing measurement setup response frame under the condition that the identification value of the public action domain is determined to be the fifth value, so as to indicate that the first message frame accepts sensing measurement parameters of the response device.

The first message frame may indicate that the first message frame does not correspond to the sensing measurement setup procedure corresponding to the wireless local area network sensing measurement setup request frame and the wireless local area network sensing measurement setup response frame by determining the identification value of the public action domain as the fourth value, thereby indicating that the sensing measurement parameter of the responding device is refused.

As an example, in the case where the identification value of the session token field in the wireless local area network aware measurement setup request frame sent by the initiating device is 3, or in the case where the identification value of the session token field in the received wireless local area network aware measurement setup response frame is 3, the initiating device may determine the identification value of the session token field in the first message frame to be 3 to indicate that the responding device has accepted the awareness measurement setup parameters by the initiating device, or the initiating device may determine the identification value of the session token field in the first message frame to be other than 3 (e.g., 4) to indicate that the awareness measurement setup parameters of the responding device are rejected by the initiating device.

In the communication method applied to the initiating device provided by the disclosure, the first message frame includes a measurement establishment identification (Measurement Setup ID) field, the identification value of the measurement establishment identification field in the first message frame is used for indicating to accept the sensing measurement parameter of the responding device when the identification value of the measurement establishment identification field in the first message frame is a seventh value, and the identification value of the measurement establishment identification field in the first message frame is used for indicating to reject the sensing measurement parameter of the responding device when the identification value of the measurement establishment identification field in the first message frame is an eighth value.

Wherein 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 local area network sensing measurement establishment request frame sent by the initiating device in the wireless local area network sensing measurement establishment process, and the eighth value can be determined based on actual requirements without limitation.

As an example, in the case where the identification value of the measurement setup identification field in the wireless local area network aware measurement setup request frame sent by the initiating device is 5, the initiating device may determine the identification value of the measurement setup identification field in the first message frame to be 5 to indicate that the responding device has accepted the measurement setup parameters by the initiating device, or the initiating device may determine the identification value of the measurement setup identification field in the first message frame to be another value than 5 (e.g., 6) to indicate that the perceived measurement setup parameters by the responding device are rejected by the initiating device.

In the communication method applied to the initiating device provided by the present disclosure, the first message frame does not include a perception measurement parameter information element field, i.e. the first message frame does not carry any perception measurement parameters.

As shown in fig. 2, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a communication method, which may alternatively be applied to a wireless local area network aware response device. The communication method shown in fig. 2 specifically includes the following steps:

step S21, a wireless local area network perception measurement establishment response frame carrying perception measurement parameters is sent.

After receiving the wireless local area network perception measurement establishment request frame sent by the initiating device, the responding device can send a wireless local area network perception measurement establishment response frame carrying the perception measurement parameters of the responding device under the condition that the perception measurement parameters of the initiating device are not accepted.

Wherein the sensing measurement parameters of the responding device are a set of preferred and acceptable sensing measurement parameters suggested by the responding device.

Step S22, a first message frame is received.

The first message frame is a first message frame which is determined by the initiating device according to the analysis result after receiving the wireless local area network sensing measurement establishment response frame carrying the sensing measurement parameters of the responding device, analyzing the sensing measurement parameters to determine whether the sensing measurement actual requirement and the related conditions are met.

In the communication method applied to the response device provided by the disclosure, when the first message frame is used for indicating the initiating device to accept the perception measurement parameters of the response device, the response device can establish and perform wireless local area network perception measurement based on the perception measurement parameters.

In the communication method applied to the response device, when the first message frame is used for indicating the initiating device to reject the sensing measurement parameters of the response device, the response device terminates the wireless local area network sensing measurement establishment process.

In the communication method applied to the response device provided by the disclosure, the first message frame may be a variable of the wireless local area network aware measurement setup request frame, and the initiating device may obtain the first message frame by changing a format of the wireless local area network aware measurement setup request frame. Or the initiating device redefines the frame of the wireless local area network perception measurement establishment request message to obtain a first message frame under the condition of not changing the format of the wireless local area network perception measurement establishment request frame.

In the communication method applied to the response device, the first message frame includes a status code field, when the identification value of the status code field in the first message frame is a first value, the status code field is used for indicating the initiating device to accept the sensing measurement parameter of the response device, and when the identification value of the status code field is a second value, the status code field is used for indicating the initiating device to reject the sensing measurement parameter of the response device.

In the communication method applied to the response device provided by the disclosure, the first message frame includes a Public Action (Public Action) domain, the identification value of the Public Action domain in the first message frame is used for indicating the initiating device to accept the perception measurement parameter of the response device when the identification value of the Public Action domain in the first message frame is a third value, and the identification value of the Public Action domain in the first message frame is used for indicating the initiating device to reject the perception measurement parameter of the response device when the identification value of the Public Action domain in the first message frame is a fourth value.

Wherein the third value and the fourth value are different values.

The first message frame may instruct the first message frame to be used for responding to a wireless local area network sensing measurement setup response frame carrying sensing measurement parameters thereof sent by the response device under the condition that the identification value of the public action domain is determined to be a third value, so as to instruct the initiating device to accept the sensing measurement parameters of the response device.

The first message frame may instruct the initiating device to not respond to the wireless local area network sensing measurement setup response frame carrying the sensing measurement parameters thereof sent by the responding device by determining the identification value of the public action domain as the fourth value, so as to instruct the initiating device to reject the sensing measurement parameters of the responding device.

In the communication method applied to the response device provided in the present disclosure, the first message frame includes a Dialog Token (Dialog Token) field, when the identification value of the Dialog Token field in the first message frame is a fifth value, the identification value of the Dialog Token field in the first message frame is used to instruct the initiating device to accept the sensing measurement parameter of the response device, and when the identification value of the Dialog Token field in the first message frame is a sixth value, the identification value of the Dialog Token field in the first message frame is used to instruct the initiating device to reject the sensing measurement parameter of the response device.

Wherein the fifth value and the sixth value are different values.

The first message frame may indicate that the first message frame corresponds to the same sensing measurement setup procedure with the wireless local area network sensing measurement setup request frame and the wireless local area network sensing measurement setup response frame under the condition that the identification value of the public action domain is determined to be the fifth value, so as to indicate the initiating device to accept the sensing measurement parameters of the responding device.

The first message frame may indicate that the first message frame does not correspond to the sensing measurement setup procedure corresponding to the wireless local area network sensing measurement setup request frame and the wireless local area network sensing measurement setup response frame by determining the identification value of the public action domain as the fourth value, so as to indicate the initiating device to reject the sensing measurement parameters of the responding device.

Wherein the seventh value and the eighth value are different values.

In the communication method applied to the response device provided by the disclosure, the first message frame does not include a perception measurement parameter information element field, i.e. the first message frame does not carry any perception measurement parameter.

The following describes a passing method according to an embodiment of the present application with reference to fig. 3.

Step S31, a wireless local area network sensing measurement setup request frame carrying sensing measurement parameters of the initiating device is sent.

Before the wireless local area network sensing measurement occurs, the initiating device sends a wireless local area network sensing measurement establishment request frame to the responding device, and sensing measurement parameters of the initiating device are carried through a sensing measurement parameter information element field.

Step S32, a wireless local area network sensing measurement setup response frame carrying sensing measurement parameters of the responding device is sent.

After receiving the wireless local area network perception measurement establishment request frame carrying the perception measurement parameters of the initiating device, the responding device determines whether to accept the perception measurement parameters of the initiating device.

Step S33, determining a first message frame based on the perception measurement parameters of the responding device.

After receiving the wireless local area network sensing measurement establishment response frame carrying the sensing measurement parameters of the response device, namely after the received wireless local area network sensing measurement establishment response frame carries the sensing measurement parameters determined by the response device, the initiating device analyzes the sensing measurement parameters of the response device to determine whether the actual requirements and related conditions of sensing measurement are met or not, and further determines a first message frame according to an analysis result.

Step S34, a first message frame is sent.

After the initiating device parses the sensing measurement parameters of the responding device to determine whether the actual requirements and related conditions of the sensing measurement are met, and determines a first message frame according to the parsing result, the initiating device may send the first message frame to the responding device to instruct the initiating device to accept or reject the sensing measurement parameters of the responding device, that is, to instruct the sensing measurement parameters of the responding device to meet or not meet the actual requirements and related conditions of the sensing measurement.

Based on the communication method provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, when the initiating device receives the wireless local area network sensing measurement establishment response frame carrying the sensing measurement parameters sent by the responding device, the initiating device can determine a first message frame based on the sensing measurement parameters carried by the wireless local area network sensing measurement establishment response frame, and send the first message frame to the responding device to indicate to accept or reject the sensing measurement parameters of the responding device. When the first message frame is used to instruct the initiating device to accept the awareness measurement parameters of the responding device, the responding device may establish and conduct wireless local area network awareness measurements based on the awareness measurement parameters. When the first message frame is used for indicating the initiating device to reject the perception measurement parameters of the responding device, the responding device terminates the wireless local area network perception measurement establishment process.
