Abstract

A base station is provided. The base station comprises a processor configured to receive beam related information from a user equipment (UE), determine a position of the UE in response to the beam related information and acquire a video stream from at least on video capturing device configured on the base station in response to the position.

Claims (62)

1. A base station comprising:

a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions;

a processor coupled to the non-transitory computer-readable medium, and configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

receive beam related information from a user equipment (UE);

determine a position of the UE in response to the beam related information; and

acquire a video stream from at least one video capturing device configured on the base station in response to the position;

send capability information of the at least one video capturing device via radio resource control (RRC) signaling to the UE;

receive an RRC acknowledgement message from the UE, the RRC acknowledgement message including a user profile; and

transmit the user profile to an image processor, the user profile including a picture of a user of the UE.

2. The base station of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

send a video stream configuration to the UE;

send the video stream to an image processor;

receive a processed video stream from the image processor; and

send the processed video stream to the UE in response to the video stream configuration.

3. The base station of claim 2 , wherein the video stream configuration includes at least one of a channel parameter and a resource parameter.

4. The base station of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

select one video capturing device in response to the position; and

send a capturing configuration to the selected video capturing device;

wherein a video stream is captured by the selected video capturing device in response to the capturing configuration.

5. The base station of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

acquire another video stream from another network entity, wherein the another video stream is captured by at least another video capturing device configured on another base station.

6. The base station of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to perform a handover procedure when a request is received from an image processor.

7. The base station of claim 6 , wherein the request is generated when an image processor determines that the UE is leaving a coverage of the base station.

8. A user equipment (UE) comprising:

a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions;

a processor coupled to the non-transitory computer-readable medium, and configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

transmit beam related information to a base station, wherein at least one video capturing device is configured on the base station;

receive a capability information of the at least one video capturing devices via radio resource control (RRC) signaling;

receive a video stream from the base station in response to the capability information;

send an RRC acknowledgement message to the base station, the RRC acknowledgement message including a user profile;

transmit the user profile to an image processor, the user profile including a user's picture of the UE;

receive a video stream configuration from the base station; and

receive the video stream from the base station in response to the video stream configuration;

wherein the video stream configuration includes at least one of a channel parameter and a resource parameter.

9. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

receive another video stream from another base station, wherein the another video stream is captured by at least another video capturing device configured on the another base station.

10. A monitoring system comprising:

a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions;

a processor coupled to the non-transitory machine-readable medium, and configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

receive beam related information of a user equipment (UE) from a base station coupled to the UE;

determine a position of the UE in response to the beam related information;

receive a video stream from at least one video capturing device configured on the base station in response to the position;

send capability information of the at least one video capturing device via radio resource control (RRC) signaling to the UE;

receive an RRC acknowledgement message from the UE, the RRC acknowledgement message including a user profile; and

transmit the user profile to an image processor, the user profile including a picture of a user of the UE.

11. The monitoring system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to send a capability information of the at least one video capturing device to the base station.

12. The monitoring system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

receive a user profile from the base station; and

identify whether an object is in the video stream in response to the user profile.

13. The monitoring system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

perform image processing to the video stream; and

send a processed video stream to the base station.

14. The monitoring system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

receive another video stream from another network entity, wherein the another video stream is captured by at least another video capturing device configured on another base station.

15. The monitoring system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

receive multiple video streams from at least one base station; and

select one video stream in response to a user profile and a quality of the video streams.

16. The monitoring system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

track a trajectory of an object in the video stream;

identify whether a location of the object is leaving a coverage of the base station in response to the trajectory of the object;

send a request to the base station when the location of the object is leaving the coverage of the base station; and

trigger a handover process the UE by the base station.
