SF entity basic functions: support perceptual authorization, perceptual control, data processing, result output, and the like.

For accurate sensing service or result, the sensing functional entity should support obtaining other information input sources from the inside or the outside of the network to form fusion sensing. The sensing function entity needs to support sensing information, location information, etc. acquired from multiple data sources, such as positioning information of a base station, sensing information of a base station, location/ranging/sensing information reported by a terminal side, and location/ranging/sensing information available by an external application function (Application Function, AF), in addition to which external non-3 GPP sensing sources, such as radar, laser, camera, etc. should also support sensing data transmission to SF entities. Therefore, SF entities need to have the capability to discover non-3 GPP aware devices, i.e. network external aware devices.

The invention provides a method, a device and equipment for acquiring and reporting perception data. The method and the device are based on the same application, 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.
