Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION This application is filed on the basis of the Chinese patent application No. 2023107952531 filed June 30, 2023, and claims priority of the Chinese patent application, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure relates to the field of communication, and in particular to a method for signal transmission, an electronic apparatus, and a storage medium. BACKGROUND During the signal transmission, the terminal device typically employs a unique and fixed MAC address to establish a connection with a network device. The identification and authentication technologies based on device-fixed MAC addresses have been widely utilized in the field of wireless transmission. However, the utilization of fixed MAC addresses may allow a third-party device to employ MAC address sniffing technology to track and locate the connection between a terminal device and a network device, and thus the security is relatively low. SUMMARY Provided are a method for signal transmission, an electronic apparatus, and a storage medium in some embodiments of the present disclosure. Thereby, the security of signals during transmission can be enhanced. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a signal for signal transmission is provided. The method is applied to a first terminal device, and includes, receiving a beacon request message sent by a first network device; where the beacon request message carries identification information, and the identification information is indicative of support of random Media Access Control (MAC) address function by the first terminal device and is configured to identify the first terminal device; and appending the identification information to a probe request message, and sending the probe request message to a second network device. According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for signal transmission is provided. The method is applied to a first network device, and includes, sending a beacon request message to a first terminal device; wherein the beacon request message carries identification information, and the identification information is indicative of a support of random MAC address function by the first terminal device and identifies the first terminal device. According to yet another embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for signal transmission is provided. The method is applied to a second network device, and includes, receiving a probe request message sent by a first terminal device; wherein the probe request message carries identification information configured for indicating that the first terminal device supports a random MAC address function and identifying the first terminal device; recognizing the first terminal device according to the identification information, and acquiring signal parameter information corresponding to the first terminal device; and sending the signal parameter information corresponding to the first terminal device to a first network device. According to yet another embodiment of the present disclosure, an electronic apparatus is provided. The electronic apparatus includes, at least one processor; and a memory storing at least one program thereon, which when executed by the processor, causes the processor to carry out any one of the methods as described above. According to yet another embodiment of the present disclosure, a computer-readable medium is provided. The computer-readable medium stores a computer program thereon, which when executed by a processor, causes the processor to carry out any one of the methods as described above. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first terminal device receives a beacon request message sent by the first network device. The beacon request message carries identification information. The identification information is indicative that the first terminal device supports the random MAC address function and to identify the first terminal device. After that, the first terminal device appends the identification information to a probe request message and sends the probe request information to the second network device. In an embodiment, the beacon request message carries the identification information that is appended to the probe request message to be sent to the second network device. In addition, the identification information corresponds to the beacon request message, so different probe request messages carry different identification information. Therefore, during the transmission of the probe request message, it is difficult for a third-party device to sniff and track the connection between the first terminal device and the network device. Thereby, the security of the signal during transmission is significantly enhanced. Additional aspects and advantages of the present disclosure will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be apparent from the descript
