## Abstract

A communication method is applied to a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) sensing initiator. The method includes: receiving a first message frame sent by a WLAN sensing proxy, wherein the first message frame includes a sensing measurement result, and at least one of a WLAN sensing measurement setup identification or a proxy measurement identification corresponding to the sensing measurement result.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A communication method, applied to a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) sensing initiator, wherein the method comprises:

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, further comprising:
receiving a second message frame sent by the WLAN sensing proxy, wherein the second message frame requests to return the sensing measurement result.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, further comprising:
sending a third message frame, wherein the third message frame indicates that the sensing measurement result is determined to be received.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, further comprising:
sending a fourth message frame, wherein the fourth message frame indicates to return the sensing measurement result.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The method according to claim 4, wherein the fourth message frame comprises at least one of the WLAN sensing measurement setup identification or the proxy measurement identification.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein receiving the first message frame sent by the WLAN sensing proxy comprises:
receiving the first message frame sent by the WLAN sensing proxy within a first sending opportunity.

### Claim 7 (depends on 2)

The method according to claim 2, wherein receiving the second message frame sent by the WLAN sensing proxy comprises:
receiving the second message frame sent by the WLAN sensing proxy within a first sending opportunity.

### Claim 8 (depends on 3)

The method according to claim 3, wherein sending the third message frame comprises:
sending the third message frame within a first sending opportunity.

### Claim 9 (depends on 4)

The method according to claim 4, wherein sending the fourth message frame comprises:
sending the fourth message frame within a first sending opportunity.

### Claim 10 (depends on 6)

The method according to claim 6, wherein the first sending opportunity is determined based on at least one of:
a sending opportunity indicated by a timeout subfield comprised in a sensing by proxy request message frame sent to the WLAN sensing proxy;
a sending opportunity indicated by a timeout subfield comprised in a sensing by proxy response message frame sent by the WLAN sensing proxy;
a sending opportunity indicated by a timeout subfield comprised in a fifth message frame sent by the WLAN sensing proxy, wherein the fifth message frame indicates that a WLAN sensing measurement and/or a WLAN sensing session has been established with a WLAN sensing responder; or
time information for indicating to return the sensing measurement result and comprised in the sensing by proxy response message frame sent by the WLAN sensing proxy.
