具体实施方式
下面将结合附图，对本申请中的技术方案进行描述。
本申请提供的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统，例如：新无线(new radio，NR)系统、长期演进(long term evolution，LTE)系统、LTE频分双工(frequency division duplex，FDD)系统、LTE时分双工(time division duplex，TDD)系统等。本申请提供的技术方案还可以应用于设备到设备(device to device，D2D)通信，车到万物(vehicle-to-everything，V2X)通信，机器到机器(machine to machine，M2M)通信，机器类型通信(machine type communication，MTC)，以及物联网(internet of things，IoT)通信系统或其他通信系统。
在通信系统中，由运营者运营的部分可称为公共陆地移动网络(public land mobile network，PLMN)，也可以称为运营商网络等。PLMN是由政府或其所批准的经营者为公众提供陆地移动通信业务目的而建立和经营的网络，主要是移动网络运营商(mobile network operator，MNO)为用户提供移动宽带接入服务的公共网络。本申请实施例中所描述的PLMN，具体可为符合第三代合作伙伴项目(3rd generation partnership project，3GPP)标准要求的网络，简称3GPP网络。3GPP网络通常包括但不限于第五代移动通信(5th-generation，5G)网络、第四代移动通信(4th-generation，4G)网络，以及未来的其他通信系统，例如(6th-generation，6G)网络等。
随着移动通信技术的更新换代，5G网络将以灵活高效的方式构建。5G网络可以将通信感知能力作为一种新的能力。为了方便描述，以5G网络的系统架构为例进行说明。可以理解的是，通信感知能力、以及本申请提出的技术方案还可以用于其他网络系统，此处不作赘述。
图1是适用本申请的一种网络架构100的示意图，以3GPP标准化过程中定义的非漫游场景下，基于服务化架构(service based architecture，SBA)的5G网络架构为例。如图1所示，该网络架构100可以包括三部分，分别是终端、数据网络(data network，DN)和运营商网络PLMN部分。下面对各部分的网元的功能进行简单说明。
终端部分可以包括终端设备，该终端设备可以称为UE、手持终端、笔记本电脑、蜂窝电话、智能电话、平板型电脑、手持设备、AR设备、VR设备、机器类型通信终端或是其他可以接入网络的设备。终端设备与接入网设备之间采用某种空口技术(如NR或LTE技术)相互通信。终端设备与终端设备之间也可以采用某种空口技术(如NR或LTE技术)相互通信。在车联网通信中，车辆上载的通信终端是一种终端设备，路边单元(road side unit，RSU)也可以作为一种终端设备。无人机上载有通信终 端，可以看作是一种终端设备。在本申请中，终端设备可以具备感知的能力。例如，终端设备的射频模块可以发送射频信号，然后通过接收和处理反射信号来了解环境。因此，终端设备也可以进行感知数据的探测和/或收集。
DN可以称为分组数据网络(packet data network，PDN)，通常是位于运营商网络之外的网络，例如第三方网络。在一些实现方式中，DN也可以由运营商进行部署，即DN属于PLMN中的一部分。PLMN可以接入多个DN，DN上可部署多种业务，可为终端提供数据和/或语音等服务。终端可通过运营商网络提供的接口(如N1等)与运营商网络建立连接，使用运营商网络提供的数据和/或语音等服务。终端还可通过运营商网络访问DN，使用DN上部署的运营商业务，和/或第三方提供的业务。
PLMN部分可以包括无线接入网(radio access network，RAN)和核心网(core network，CN)。
RAN包括接入网设备，用于为特定区域的授权终端提供入网功能，并能够根据终端的级别，业务的需求等使用不同质量的传输隧道。RAN能够管理无线资源，为终端提供接入服务，进而完成控制信号和终端数据在终端和CN之间的转发，RAN也可以理解为传统网络中的基站。在本申请中，当基站采用毫米波频段进行无线通信时，基站将天然拥有类似雷达的感知能力，即基站将同时拥有无线通信能力和感知的能力。因此，RAN可以进行感知数据的探测和/或收集，也可以将本申请中的RAN称为通信雷达一体化基站，不仅可以实现对地面用户进行通信业务覆盖，还可以实现对无人机、直升机、鸟类等飞行目标以及对地面车流量，行人等进行探测。
CN可以包括但不限于：用户面功能(user plane function，UPF)、网络开放功能(network exposure function，NEF)、策略控制功能(policy control function，PCF)、统一数据管理功能(unified data management，UDM)、AF、网络数据分析功能(network data analytics function，NWDAF)、会话管理功能(session management function，SMF)、移动性管理功能(access and mobility management function，AMF)。
下面对CN包含的网络功能(network function，NF)功能进行进一步简要说明。
1、UPF是由运营商提供的网关，是运营商网络与DN通信的网关。UPF包括数据包路由和传输、数据包检测、业务用量上报、服务质量(quality of service，QoS)处理、合法监听、上行数据包检测、下行数据包存储等用户面功能。
2、NEF是由运营商提供的控制面功能，主要使能第三方使用网络提供的服务，支持网络开放其能力、事件及数据分析、从外部应用给PLMN安全配备信息、PLMN内外交互信息的转换等。
3、AMF是由运营商网络提供的控制面功能，负责终端接入运营商网络的接入控制和移动性管理，例如包括移动状态管理，分配用户临时身份标识，认证和授权用户等功能。
4、PCF是由运营商提供的控制面功能，它支持统一的策略框架来治理网络行为、向其他控制功能提供策略规则、策略决策相关的签约信息等。
5、UDM/UDR由运营商提供的控制面功能，用于处理终端标识，接入鉴权，注册以及移动性管理等。UDM或UDR网元可以是指用户数据库。可以作为一个存储用户数据的单一逻辑存储库存在。
6、AF是由运营商提供的控制面功能，用于接入网络开放功能网元或与策略框架交互进行策略控制等。
7、NWDAF是由运营商提供的控制面功能，主要功能是从NF、外部应用功能AF以及运维管理(operations，administration and maintenance，OAM)系统等收集数据，对NF和AF提供NWDAF业务注册、数据开放和分析数据等。
8、SMF是由运营商网络提供的控制面功能，负责管理终端的PDU会话。PDU会话是一个用于传输PDU的通道，终端需要通过PDU会话与DN互相传送PDU。PDU会话由SMF负责建立、维护和删除等。SMF包括会话管理、UPF的选择和控制、业务和会话连续性(service and session continuity，SSC)模式选择、漫游等会话相关的功能。
9、NSSF是由运营商提供的控制面功能，主要包括以下功能：为UE选择一组网络切片实例、确定允许的网络切片选择辅助信息(network slice selection assistance information，NSSAI)和确定可以服务UE的AMF集等。
10、AUSF是由运营商提供的控制面功能，用于鉴权服务、产生密钥实现对终端的双向鉴权，支持统一的鉴权框架。同时，AUSF支持3GPP和非3GPP的接入认证。
应理解，图1所示的UE、(R)AN、UPF和DN被称为数据面网络功能和实体，用户的数据流量可 以通过UE和DN之间建立的PDU会话进行传输，传输会经过(R)AN和UPF这两个网络功能实体。其他的部分则被称为控制面网络功能和实体，主要负责认证和鉴权、注册管理、会话管理、移动性管理以及策略控制等功能，从而实现用户层流量可靠稳定的传输。用户面用于业务数据承载，控制面用于承载信令消息。
可以理解的是，上述网元或者功能既可以是硬件设备中的物理实体，也可以是在专用硬件上运行的软件实例，或者是共享平台(例如，云平台)上实例化的虚拟化功能。简单来说，一个NF可以由硬件来实现，也可以由软件来实现。
图1中各个控制面网元之间的接口是点对点的接口，Nnssf、Nnef、Nnrf、Npcf、Nudm、Nudr、Naf、Nausf、Namf、Nsmf、N1、N2、N3、N4，N6以及N9为接口序列号。示例性的，上述接口序列号的含义可参见3GPP标准协议中定义的含义，本申请对于上述接口序列号的含义不做限制。需要说明的是，图1中的各个网络功能之间的接口名称仅仅是一个示例，在具体实现中，该系统架构的接口名称还可能为其他名称，本申请对此不作限定。此外，上述各个网元之间的所传输的消息(或信令)的名称也仅仅是一个示例，对消息本身的功能不构成任何限定。
应理解，上述网络架构仅是从服务化架构的角度示例描述的网络架构，适用本申请实施例的网络架构并不局限于此，任何能够实现上述各个网元的功能的网络架构都适用于本申请实施例。本申请实施例提供的通信感知方法还可以涉及图1中未示出的网元，当然本申请实施例提供的通信感知方法也可以只包括图1示出的部分网元。
