[0046] Wherein each sensing initiator can be a client (Client); each sensing responder (in this example, namely, sensing responder 1 to sensing responder 3) can be a station device (STA) or an access point device (AP). In addition, the STA and the AP can assume multiple roles in the WLAN sensing process; for example, in the WLAN sensing process, the STA can also act as a sensing initiator, and the sensing initiator can be a sensing transmitter, a sensing receiver, or both, or neither. In the WLAN sensing process, the sensing responder can be a sensing transmitter, a sensing receiver, or both.

[0047] As another architecture, as shown in Figure 4 The sensing initiator and the sensing responder can also be clients, and the two can communicate by connecting to the same access point device (AP).
