Description

Technical Field

[0001] The following relates to wireless communications, including dynamic control of sensing duration. Background Art

[0002] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content, such as voice, video, packet data, messaging, broadcasting, etc. These systems can support communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., time, frequency, and power). Examples of such multiple access systems include fourth generation (4G) systems such as long term evolution (LTE) systems, LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) systems, or LTE-APro systems, and fifth generation (5G) systems that may be referred to as new radio (NR) systems. These systems may employ techniques such as code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal FDMA (OFDMA), or discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM). A wireless multiple access communication system may include one or more base stations or one or more network access nodes, each base station or network access node simultaneously supporting communication for multiple communication devices, which may also be referred to as user equipment (UE).

The base station may send signaling including a request to suspend the wireless sensing process during the conflicting resources (e.g., during one or more sensing signal burst opportunities). In some cases, the UE may determine whether to suspend the wireless sensing process or reject the communication. (e.g., based on the priority of the wireless sensing process).

[0049] In some examples, a user equipment (UE) may perform wireless sensing, such as radar sensing in a millimeter wave (mmW) environment. Radar sensing may extract ranging information, velocity information, angle information, and the like for environmental imaging in a compact form (e.g., with relatively high bandwidth and large aperture). For example, a wearable device or a vehicle may use a radar sensor for gesture classification or control, respectively. In some cases, the UE may perform wireless sensing according to a pattern including one or more sensing signal burst opportunities. The pattern may be signaled to the UE in control signaling from a base station (e.g., radio resource control (RRC) signaling, downlink control information (DCI), medium access control-control element (MAC-CE), etc.), and the pattern may be periodic, semi-persistent, or aperiodic. In some cases, there may be different use cases for performing wireless sensing, such as security, intruder detection, health care, or beam selection and wireless connection optimization. Different use cases may have different priorities and use different sensing resources, such as sensing signal burst opportunities. If the UE performs wireless sensing during one or more sensing signal burst opportunities while attempting to send or receive data transmissions, there may be resource conflicts between the sensing signal burst opportunities and the data signals, which may result in interference and high signaling overhead due to retransmissions at the UE.

[0050] As described herein, a base station may send control signaling to a UE to suspend a wireless sensing process, such as radar sensing. The control signaling may indicate when to suspend the wireless sensing process and the subsequent actions (e.g., sending data or control signaling, receiving data or control signaling, or a combination thereof) performed by the UE when the wireless sensing process is suspended. The UE may determine to suspend the wireless sensing process during one or more sensing signal burst opportunities, or may reject data transmission during the sensing signal burst opportunity. For example, the UE may suspend the wireless sensing process during a time period (e.g., during the sensing signal burst opportunity) based on receiving the control signaling. The base station may send a request to the UE to resume the wireless sensing process after the time period. In some other examples, the UE may continue the wireless sensing process during the time period based on the priority of the sensing type. That is, if the UE is performing a high priority sensing operation, the UE may determine not to suspend the wireless sensing process during the time period, and may report the conflict information back to the base station. The UE may send feedback information based on determining to suspend the wireless sensing process or to continue the wireless sensing process.

[0051] Aspects of the present disclosure are initially described in the context of wireless communication systems. Aspects of the present disclosure are further described in the context of timelines and process flows. Aspects of the present disclosure are further illustrated and described with reference to apparatus diagrams, system diagrams, and flow charts related to dynamic control of sensing duration.

[0052] Figure 1 An example of a wireless communication system 100 supporting dynamic control of sensing duration according to aspects of the present disclosure is shown. The wireless communication system 100 may include one or more base stations 105, one or more UEs 115, and a core network 130. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may be a long term evolution (LTE) network, an LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) network, an LTE-A Pro network, or a new radio (NR) network. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may support enhanced broadband communications, ultra-reliable (e.g., mission-critical) communications, low-latency communications, communications with low-cost and low-complexity devices, or any combination thereof.

[0053] The base stations 105 may be dispersed throughout a geographic area to form the wireless communication system 100, and may be devices of different forms or capabilities. The base stations 105 and the UEs 115 may communicate wirelessly via one or more communication links 125. Each base station 105 may provide a coverage area 110 over which the UEs 115 and the base stations 105 may establish communication links 125. The coverage area 110 may be an example of a geographic area over which the base stations 105 and the UEs 115 may support communication of signals according to one or more radio access technologies.

[0054] The UEs 115 may be dispersed throughout the coverage area 110 of the wireless communication system 100, and each UE 115 may be stationary, mobile, or both at different times. The UEs 115 may be devices of different forms or with different capabilities. Figure 1 Some example UEs 115 are shown in FIG. 1. The UEs 115 described herein can communicate with various types of devices, such as other UEs 115, base stations 105, or network devices (e.g., core network nodes, relay devices, integrated access and backhaul (IAB) nodes, or other network devices), such as Figure 1 shown.

[0055] Base stations 105 may communicate with core network 130, or with each other, or both. For example, base stations 105 may interface with core network 130 via one or more backhaul links 120 (e.g., via S1, N2, N3, or other interfaces). Base stations 105 may communicate with each other directly (e.g., directly between base stations 105) or indirectly (e.g., via core network 130) on backhaul links 120 (e.g., via X2, Xn, or other interfaces), or in both ways. In some examples, backhaul links 120 may be or may include one or more wireless links.

[0056] The one or more base stations 105 described herein may include or may be referred to by a person of ordinary skill in the art as a base transceiver station, a radio base station, an access point, a radio transceiver, a NodeB, an eNodeB (eNB), a next generation NodeB or a giga NodeB (any of which may be referred to as a gNB), a Home NodeB, a Home eNodeB, or other appropriate terminology.

[0057] UE 115 may include or may be referred to as a mobile device, a wireless device, a remote device, a handheld device, or a subscriber device, or some other suitable terminology, where a "device" may also be referred to as a unit, a station, a terminal, a client, or the like. UE 115 may also include or may be referred to as a personal electronic device (such as a cellular phone), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a multimedia / entertainment device (e.g., a radio, an MP3 player, or a video device), a camera, a gaming device, a navigation / positioning device (e.g., a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) device based on, for example, GPS (Global Positioning System), BeiDou, GLONASS, or Galileo, or a ground-based device), a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a personal computer, a netbook, a smartbook, a personal computer, a smart device, a wearable device (e.g., a smart watch, smart clothing, smart glasses, a virtual reality head-mounted display, a smart wristband, smart jewelry (e.g., a smart ring, a smart bracelet)), a drone, a robot / robotic device, a vehicle, a vehicle device, a meter (e.g., a parking meter, an electric meter, a gas meter, a water meter), a monitor, a gas pump, an appliance (e.g., a kitchen appliance, a washing machine, a dryer), a location tag, a medical / health care device, an implant, a sensor / actuator, a display, or any other suitable device configured to communicate via a wireless or wired medium. In some examples, UE 115 may include or may be referred to as a wireless local loop (WLL) station, an Internet of Things (IoT) device, an Internet of Everything (IoE) device, or a machine type communication (MTC) device, etc., which may be implemented in various items such as appliances, vehicles, meters, etc.

[0058] The UE 115 described herein is capable of communicating with various types of devices, such as other UEs 115 that may sometimes act as relays, and base stations 105 and network devices including macro eNBs or gNBs, small cell eNBs or gNBs, or relay base stations, etc. Figure 1 shown.

[0059] The UE 115 and the base station 105 may wirelessly communicate with each other via one or more communication links 125 on one or more carriers. The term "carrier" may refer to a set of radio frequency spectrum resources having a defined physical layer structure for supporting the communication link 125. For example, a carrier for the communication link 125 may include a portion of a radio frequency band (e.g., a bandwidth portion (BWP)) that operates according to one or more physical layer channels for a given radio access technology (e.g., LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, NR). Each physical layer channel may carry acquisition signaling (e.g., synchronization signals, system information), control signaling for coordinating carrier operations, user data, or other signaling. The wireless communication system 100 may support communication with the UE 115 using carrier aggregation or multi-carrier operation. The UE 115 may be configured with multiple downlink component carriers and one or more uplink component carriers according to a carrier aggregation configuration. Carrier aggregation may be used with frequency division duplex (FDD) and time division duplex (TDD) component carriers.

[0060] In some examples (e.g., in a carrier aggregation configuration), a carrier may also have acquisition signaling or control signaling for coordinating the operation of other carriers. A carrier may be associated with a frequency channel (e.g., an Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (EARFCN)) and may be located according to a channel grid for discovery by UE 115. A carrier may operate in a standalone mode, in which initial acquisition and connection may be performed by UE 115 via the carrier, or in a non-standalone mode, in which a connection is anchored using a different carrier (e.g., with the same or different radio access technology).

[0061] The communication link 125 shown in the wireless communication system 100 may include an uplink transmission from the UE 115 to the base station 105, or a downlink transmission from the base station 105 to the UE 115. A carrier may carry either downlink communications or uplink communications (e.g., in an FDD mode), or may be configured to carry both downlink communications and uplink communications (e.g., in a TDD mode).

[0062] A carrier may be associated with a particular bandwidth of a radio frequency spectrum, and in some examples, the carrier bandwidth may be referred to as a "system bandwidth" of the carrier or wireless communication system 100. For example, the carrier bandwidth may be one of a plurality of determined bandwidths of a carrier for a particular radio access technology (e.g., 1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 40, or 80 megahertz (MHz)). A device of the wireless communication system 100 (e.g., a base station 105, a UE 115, or both) may have a hardware configuration that supports communication on a particular carrier bandwidth, or may be configured to support communication on one of a set of carrier bandwidths. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may include a base station 105 or a UE 115 that supports simultaneous communication via carriers associated with a plurality of carrier bandwidths. In some examples, each served UE 115 may be configured to operate on portions (e.g., subbands, BWPs) or all of a carrier bandwidth.

[0063] The signal waveform transmitted on the carrier may be composed of multiple subcarriers (e.g., using multi-carrier modulation (MCM) techniques, such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM)). In a system employing MCM techniques, a resource element may be composed of a symbol period (e.g., the duration of a modulation symbol) and a subcarrier, where the symbol period and the subcarrier spacing are inversely related. The number of bits carried by each resource element may depend on the modulation scheme (e.g., the order of the modulation scheme, the coding rate of the modulation scheme, or both). Therefore, the more resource elements received by UE 115 and the higher the order of the modulation scheme, the higher the data rate of UE 115 can be. Wireless communication resources may refer to a combination of radio frequency spectrum resources, time resources, and spatial resources (e.g., spatial layers or beams), and the use of multiple spatial layers may further increase the data rate or data integrity used to communicate with UE 115.

[0064] One or more digital schemes for a carrier may be supported, where the digital scheme may include a subcarrier spacing (Δf) and a cyclic prefix. A carrier may be divided into one or more BWPs with the same or different digital schemes. In some examples, a UE 115 may be configured with multiple BWPs. In some examples, a single BWP of a carrier may be active at a given time, and communications of the UE 115 may be restricted to the one or more active BWPs.

[0065] The time interval of the base station 105 or the UE 115 may be expressed as a multiple of a basic time unit, which may be, for example, T s =1 / (Δf max ·N f ) seconds sampling period, where Δf maxIt can represent the maximum subcarrier spacing supported, and N f The maximum supported discrete Fourier transform (DFT) size may be indicated. The time intervals of the communication resources may be organized according to radio frames, each having a specified duration (e.g., 10 milliseconds (ms)). Each radio frame may be identified by a system frame number (SFN) (e.g., ranging from 0 to 1023).

[0066] Each frame may include a plurality of consecutively numbered subframes or time slots, and each subframe or time slot may have the same duration. In some examples, a frame may be divided into (e.g., in the time domain) subframes, and each subframe may be further divided into a number of time slots. Alternatively, each frame may include a variable number of time slots, and the number of time slots may depend on the subcarrier spacing. Each time slot may include a certain number of symbol periods (e.g., depending on the length of the cyclic prefix preceding each symbol period). In some wireless communication systems 100, a time slot may be further divided into a plurality of small time slots containing one or more symbols. In addition to the cyclic prefix, each symbol period may contain one or more (e.g., N ) symbol periods. f The duration of a symbol period may depend on the subcarrier spacing or frequency band of operation.

[0067] A subframe, a time slot, a mini-slot, or a symbol may be the smallest scheduling unit (e.g., in the time domain) of the wireless communication system 100 and may be referred to as a transmission time interval (TTI). In some examples, the TTI duration (e.g., the number of symbol periods in a TTI) may be variable. Additionally or alternatively, the smallest scheduling unit of the wireless communication system 100 may be dynamically selected (e.g., in a burst of a shortened TTI (sTTI)).

[0068] Physical channels may be multiplexed on a carrier according to various techniques. Physical control channels and physical data channels may be multiplexed on a downlink carrier, for example, using one or more of a time division multiplexing (TDM) technique, a frequency division multiplexing (FDM) technique, or a hybrid TDM-FDM technique. A control region (e.g., a control resource set (CORESET)) of a physical control channel may be defined by the number of symbol periods and may extend over a system bandwidth or a subset of a system bandwidth of a carrier. One or more control regions (e.g., CORESETs) may be configured for a set of UEs 115. For example, one or more UEs 115 may monitor or search a control region for control information according to one or more search space sets, and each search space set may include one or more control channel candidates in one or more aggregation levels arranged in a cascaded manner. The aggregation level for a control channel candidate may refer to the number of control channel resources (e.g., control channel elements (CCEs)) associated with a coding information format for a control information format having a given payload size. A search space set may include a common search space set configured for sending control information to multiple UEs 115 and a UE-specific search space set for sending control information to a specific UE 115.

[0069] Each base station 105 may provide communication coverage via one or more cells (e.g., macro cells, small cells, hot spots, or other types of cells, or any combination thereof). The term "cell" may refer to a logical communication entity used to communicate with a base station 105 (e.g., on a carrier), and may be associated with an identifier (e.g., a physical cell identifier (PCID), a virtual cell identifier (VCID), or other identifier) ​​used to distinguish adjacent cells. In some examples, a cell may also refer to a geographic coverage area 110 or a portion of a geographic coverage area 110 (e.g., a sector) on which a logical communication entity operates. Depending on various factors such as the capabilities of the base station 105, such a cell may range from a smaller area (e.g., a structure, a subset of a structure) to a larger area. For example, a cell may be or may include a building, a subset of a building, or an external space between or overlapping a geographic coverage area 110, as well as other examples.

[0070] A macro cell generally covers a relatively large geographic area (e.g., a radius of several kilometers) and may allow unrestricted access by a UE 115 that has a service subscription with a network provider that supports the macro cell. A small cell may be associated with a lower power base station 105 than a macro cell, and the small cell may operate in the same or different (e.g., licensed, unlicensed) frequency band as the macro cell. A small cell may provide unrestricted access to a UE 115 that has a service subscription with a network provider, or may provide restricted access to a UE 115 associated with a small cell (e.g., a UE 115 in a closed user group (CSG), a UE 115 associated with a user in a home or office). A base station 105 may support one or more cells, and may also support communications on the one or more cells using one or more component carriers.

[0071] In some examples, a carrier may support multiple cells, and different cells may be configured according to different protocol types (e.g., MTC, narrowband IoT (NB-IoT), enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB)) that may provide access to different types of devices.

[0072] In some examples, base stations 105 may be mobile and, therefore, provide communication coverage for mobile geographic coverage areas 110. In some examples, different geographic coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may overlap, but the different geographic coverage areas 110 may be supported by the same base station 105. In other examples, overlapping geographic coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may be supported by different base stations 105. The wireless communication system 100 may include, for example, a heterogeneous network in which different types of base stations 105 provide coverage for various geographic coverage areas 110 using the same or different radio access technologies.

[0073] The wireless communication system 100 may support synchronous operation or asynchronous operation. For synchronous operation, the base stations 105 may have similar frame timing, and transmissions from different base stations 105 may be approximately aligned in time. For asynchronous operation, the base stations 105 may have different frame timing, and in some examples, transmissions from different base stations 105 may not be aligned in time. The techniques described herein may be used for synchronous operation or asynchronous operation.

[0074] Some UEs 115, such as MTC or IoT devices, may be low-cost or low-complexity devices and may provide automated communication between machines (e.g., via machine-to-machine (M2M) communication). M2M communication or MTC may refer to data communication technology that allows devices to communicate with each other or with a base station 105 without human intervention. In some examples, M2M communication or MTC may include communications from devices that integrate sensors or meters to measure or capture information and relay such information to a central server or application that utilizes the information or presents the information to a person interacting with the application. Some UEs 115 may be designed to collect information or implement automated behavior of machines or other devices. Application examples of MTC devices include smart metering, inventory monitoring, water level monitoring, equipment monitoring, healthcare monitoring, wildlife monitoring, weather and geological event monitoring, fleet management and tracking, remote security sensing, physical access control, and transaction-based service billing. In one aspect, the techniques disclosed herein may be applicable to MTC or IoT UEs. MTC or IoT UE may include MTC / enhanced MTC (eMTC, also known as CAT-M, Cat M1) UE, NB-IoT (also known as CAT NB1) UE, and other types of UE. eMTC and NB-IoT may refer to future technologies that may evolve from or may be based on these technologies. For example, eMTC may include FeMTC (further eMTC), eFeMTC (enhanced further eMTC), or mMTC (massive MTC), and NB-IoT may include eNB-IoT (enhanced NB-IoT) or FeNB-IoT (further enhanced NB-IoT).

[0075] Some UEs 115 may be configured to employ a reduced power consumption mode of operation, such as half-duplex communication (e.g., a mode that supports unidirectional communication via transmission or reception but not simultaneous transmission and reception). In some examples, half-duplex communication may be performed at a reduced peak rate. Other power saving techniques for UE 115 include entering a power saving deep sleep mode when not engaged in active communications, operating over a limited bandwidth (e.g., according to narrowband communications), or a combination of these techniques. For example, some UEs 115 may be configured to operate using a narrowband protocol type associated with a defined portion or range (e.g., a set of subcarriers or resource blocks (RBs)) within a carrier, within a guard band of a carrier, or outside a carrier.

[0076] The wireless communication system 100 can be configured to support ultra-reliable communication or low-latency communication or various combinations thereof. For example, the wireless communication system 100 can be configured to support ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) or mission-critical communication. UE115 can be designed to support ultra-reliable, low-latency or critical functions (e.g., mission-critical functions). Ultra-reliable communication can include private communication or group communication, and can be supported by one or more mission-critical services such as mission-critical push-to-talk (MCPTT), mission-critical video (MCVideo), or mission-critical data (MCData). Support for mission-critical functions can include prioritization of services, and mission-critical services can be used for public safety or general commercial applications. The terms ultra-reliable, low-latency, mission-critical, and ultra-reliable low-latency are used interchangeably herein.

[0077] In some examples, UE 115 is also able to communicate directly with other UE 115 via a device-to-device (D2D) communication link 135 (e.g., using a peer-to-peer (P2P) or D2D protocol). One or more UEs 115 utilizing D2D communication may be within a geographic coverage area 110 of a base station 105. Other UEs 115 in such a group may be outside the geographic coverage area 110 of the base station 105, or may not be able to receive transmissions from the base station 105 for other reasons. In some examples, a group of UEs 115 communicating via D2D communication may utilize a one-to-many (1:M) system, in which each UE 115 transmits to each other UE 115 in the group. In some examples, the base station 105 facilitates the scheduling of resources for D2D communication. In other cases, D2D communication is performed between UEs 115 without involving the base station 105.

[0078] In some systems, the D2D communication link 135 can be an example of a communication channel (such as a sidelink communication channel) between vehicles (e.g., UE 115). In some examples, vehicles can communicate using vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication, or some combination of these. Vehicles can signal information related to traffic conditions, signal scheduling, weather, safety, emergency situations, or any other information related to the V2X system. In some examples, vehicles in a V2X system can communicate with roadside infrastructure (such as roadside units), or communicate with a network via one or more network nodes (e.g., base station 105) using vehicle-to-network (V2N) communication, or both.

[0079] The core network 130 may provide user authentication, access authorization, tracking, Internet Protocol (IP) connection, and other access, routing, or mobility functions. The core network 130 may be an evolved packet core (EPC) or a 5G core (5GC), which may include at least one control plane entity for managing access and mobility (e.g., a mobility management entity (MME), an access and mobility management function (AMF)) and at least one user plane entity for routing packets or interconnections to an external network (e.g., a serving gateway (S-GW), a packet data network (PDN) gateway (P-GW), a user plane function (UPF)). The control plane entity may manage non-access stratum (NAS) functions, such as mobility, authentication, and bearer management of UE 115 served by a base station 105 associated with the core network 130. User IP packets may be delivered through a user plane entity, which may provide IP address allocation and other functions. The user plane entity may be connected to an IP service 150 of one or more network operators. The IP service 150 may include access to the Internet, an intranet, an IP multimedia subsystem (IMS), or a packet-switched streaming service.

[0080] Some network devices (e.g., base stations 105) may include subcomponents, such as access network entities 140, which may be examples of access node controllers (ANCs). Each access network entity 140 may communicate with UE 115 through one or more other access network transport entities 145, which may be referred to as radio heads, smart radio heads, or transmit / receive points (TRPs). Each access network transport entity 145 may include one or more antenna panels. In some configurations, the various functions of each access network entity 140 or base station 105 may be distributed across various network devices (e.g., radio heads and ANCs), or merged into a single network device (e.g., base station 105).

[0081] The wireless communication system 100 may operate using one or more frequency bands, typically in the range of 300 megahertz (MHz) to 300 gigahertz (GHz). Typically, the region of 300 MHz to 3 GHz is referred to as the ultra-high frequency (UHF) region or decimeter band because the wavelengths range from about one decimeter to one meter long. UHF waves may be blocked or redirected by buildings and environmental features, but the waves are sufficient to penetrate structures to enable macro cells to provide services to UEs 115 located indoors. Transmission of UHF waves may be associated with smaller antennas and shorter distances (e.g., less than 100 km) compared to transmissions using lower frequencies and longer wavelengths of the high frequency (HF) or very high frequency (VHF) portions of the spectrum below 300 MHz.

[0082] The wireless communication system 100 may also operate in a super high frequency (SHF) region using a frequency band from 3 GHz to 30 GHz (also referred to as a centimeter band), or in an extremely high frequency (EHF) region of the spectrum (e.g., from 30 GHz to 300 GHz) (also referred to as a millimeter band). In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may support millimeter wave (mmW) communications between the UE 115 and the base station 105, and the EHF antennas of the corresponding devices may be smaller and more closely spaced than UHF antennas. In some examples, this may facilitate the use of antenna arrays within the device. However, the propagation of EHF transmissions may be subject to even greater atmospheric attenuation and shorter distances than SHF or UHF transmissions. The technology disclosed herein may be employed across transmissions using one or more different frequency regions, and the designated use of frequency bands across these frequency regions may vary from country to country or regulatory agency.

[0083] The wireless communication system 100 can use licensed radio frequency spectrum bands and unlicensed radio frequency spectrum bands. For example, the wireless communication system 100 can adopt licensed assisted access (LAA) or LTE-unlicensed (LTE-U) radio access technology, or NR technology, in an unlicensed band such as the 5 GHz industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) band. When operating in an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band, devices such as base stations 105 and UEs 115 can use carrier sensing for conflict detection and avoidance. In some examples, operations in unlicensed bands can be based on a carrier aggregation configuration (e.g., LAA) in combination with component carriers operating in licensed bands. Operations in unlicensed spectrum can include downlink transmissions, uplink transmissions, P2P transmissions or D2D transmissions, and the like.

[0084] The base station 105 or UE 115 may be equipped with multiple antennas, which may be used to employ technologies such as transmit diversity, receive diversity, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications, or beamforming. The antennas of the base station 105 or UE 115 may be located within one or more antenna arrays or antenna panels, which may support MIMO operations or transmit beamforming or receive beamforming. For example, one or more base station antennas or antenna arrays may be co-located at an antenna assembly, such as an antenna tower. In some examples, the antennas or antenna arrays associated with the base station 105 may be located at different geographical locations. The base station 105 may have an antenna array having antenna ports of a number of rows and a number of columns that the base station 105 may use to support beamforming for communications with the UE 115. Similarly, the UE 115 may have one or more antenna arrays that may support various MIMO or beamforming operations. Additionally or alternatively, the antenna panel may support radio frequency beamforming for signals sent via the antenna ports.

[0085] The base station 105 or UE 115 can use MIMO communication to exploit multipath signal propagation and improve spectral efficiency by sending or receiving multiple signals via different spatial layers. Such a technology may be referred to as spatial multiplexing. For example, the multiple signals may be sent by a transmitting device via different antennas or different antenna combinations. Similarly, the multiple signals may be received by a receiving device via different antennas or different antenna combinations. Each of the multiple signals may be referred to as a separate spatial stream and may carry bits associated with the same data stream (e.g., the same codeword) or different data streams (e.g., different codewords). Different spatial layers may be associated with different antenna ports for channel measurement and reporting. MIMO technology includes single-user MIMO (SU-MIMO) and multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO), in which multiple spatial layers are sent to the same receiving device and in which multiple spatial layers are sent to multiple devices.

[0086] Beamforming, which may also be referred to as spatial filtering, directional transmission, or directional reception, is a signal processing technique that can be used at a transmitting device or a receiving device (e.g., a base station 105, a UE 115) to shape or direct an antenna beam (e.g., a transmit beam, a receive beam) along a spatial path between the transmitting device and the receiving device. Beamforming can be achieved by combining signals communicated via antenna elements of an antenna array so that signals propagating in a particular direction relative to the antenna array experience constructive interference, while other signals experience destructive interference. Adjustments to signals communicated via antenna elements may include the transmitting device or the receiving device applying an amplitude offset, a phase offset, or both to a signal carried via an antenna element associated with the device. Adjustments associated with each antenna element may be defined by a set of beamforming weights associated with a particular direction (e.g., relative to the antenna array of the transmitting device or the receiving device, or relative to some other direction).

[0087] The base station 105 or UE 115 may use beam scanning techniques as part of a beamforming operation. For example, the base station 105 may use multiple antennas or antenna arrays (e.g., antenna panels) to perform beamforming operations for directional communications with the UE 115. Some signals (e.g., synchronization signals, reference signals, beam selection signals, or other control signals) may be sent multiple times by the base station 105 in different directions. For example, the base station 105 may send signals based on different sets of beamforming weights associated with different transmission directions. Transmissions in different beam directions may be used to identify (e.g., by a transmitting device (such as the base station 105) or by a receiving device (such as the UE 115)) a beam direction that is later transmitted or received by the base station 105.

[0088] Some signals, such as data signals associated with a particular receiving device, may be sent by base station 105 in a single beam direction, e.g., a direction associated with a receiving device, such as UE 115. In some examples, a beam direction associated with a transmission along a single beam direction may be determined based on signals already sent in one or more beam directions. For example, UE 115 may receive one or more of the signals sent by base station 105 in different directions and may report to base station 105 an indication of the signal received by UE 115 with the highest signal quality or an otherwise acceptable signal quality.

[0089] In some examples, transmission by a device (e.g., by a base station 105 or a UE 115) may be performed using multiple beam directions, and the device may generate a combined beam for transmission (e.g., from a base station 105 to a UE 115) using a combination of digital precoding or radio frequency beamforming. The UE 115 may report feedback indicating precoding weights for one or more beam directions, and the feedback may correspond to a configured number of beams across a system bandwidth or one or more subbands. The base station 105 may transmit a reference signal (e.g., a cell-specific reference signal (CRS), a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS)), which may be precoded or not precoded. The UE 115 may provide feedback for beam selection, which may be a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) or codebook-based feedback (e.g., a multi-panel type codebook, a linear combination type codebook, a port selection type codebook). Although these techniques are described with reference to signals sent by base station 105 in one or more directions, UE 115 may employ similar techniques to send signals multiple times in different directions (e.g., for identifying a beam direction for subsequent transmission or reception by UE 115) or to send signals in a single direction (e.g., for sending data to a receiving device).

[0090] A receiving device (e.g., UE 115) may try multiple reception configurations (e.g., directional listening) when receiving various signals (e.g., synchronization signals, reference signals, beam selection signals, or other control signals) from a base station 105. For example, a receiving device may try multiple reception directions by receiving via different antenna subarrays, processing received signals according to different antenna subarrays, receiving according to different sets of receive beamforming weights applied to signals received at multiple antenna elements of an antenna array (e.g., different sets of directional listening weights), or processing received signals according to different sets of receive beamforming weights applied to signals received at multiple antenna elements of an antenna array, any of which may be referred to as "listening" according to different reception configurations or reception directions. In some examples, a receiving device may use a single reception configuration to receive along a single beam direction (e.g., when receiving a data signal). The single reception configuration may be aligned on a beam direction determined based on listening according to different reception configuration directions (e.g., a beam direction determined to have the highest signal strength, the highest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), or otherwise acceptable signal quality based on listening according to multiple beam directions).

[0091] The wireless communication system 100 may be a packet-based network that operates according to a layered protocol stack. In the user plane, the communication at the bearer or packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer may be IP-based. The radio link control (RLC) layer may perform packet segmentation and reassembly to communicate on a logical channel. The medium access control (MAC) layer may perform priority processing and multiplex logical channels into transport channels. The MAC layer may also use error detection techniques, error correction techniques, or both to support retransmission at the MAC layer to improve link efficiency. In the control plane, the radio resource control (RRC) protocol layer may provide the establishment, configuration, and maintenance of an RRC connection that supports a radio bearer for user plane data between a UE 115 and a base station 105 or a core network 130. At the physical layer, a transport channel may be mapped to a physical channel.

[0092] UE 115 and base station 105 can support retransmission of data to increase the possibility of successfully receiving data. Hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback is a technology for increasing the possibility of correctly receiving data through communication link 125. HARQ can include a combination of error detection (e.g., using cyclic redundancy check (CRC)), forward error correction (FEC) and retransmission (e.g., automatic repeat request (ARQ)). HARQ can improve the throughput at the MAC layer under poor radio conditions (e.g., low signal-to-noise ratio conditions). In some examples, a device can support same-slot HARQ feedback, where the device can provide HARQ feedback in a specific time slot for data received in a previous symbol in the time slot. In other cases, the device can provide HARQ feedback in a subsequent time slot or according to some other time interval.

[0093] In some cases, UE 115 may perform a wireless sensing process, such as a radar sensing process. For example, a handheld or short-range radar device or sensor may be implemented at UE 115. In some cases, UE 115 may be a smart phone or smart watch (e.g., a wearable device) including a radar sensor for gesture classification. In some other cases, UE 115 may be a vehicle with a radar device that is capable of short-range wireless sensing for in-vehicle based control. In some cases, UE 115 may perform a wireless sensing process during a sensing mode that specifies one or more sensing signal burst opportunities. The sensing mode may be configured at UE 115 (e.g., by base station 105) to time-multiplex one or more sensing signal burst opportunities. In some examples, different use cases of the wireless sensing process may have different priorities. For example, UE 115 may perform a wireless sensing process for security applications, intruder detection, health care applications, or beam selection and wireless connection optimization. Each application may have a different level of importance with an associated priority level. In some cases, one or more sensing signal burst opportunities used for the wireless sensing process may overlap with resources used for communication between the UE 115 and the base station 105. In some examples, there may be resource conflicts between the sensing signal burst opportunities and the communication resources, which may result in interference and high signaling overhead caused by retransmissions at the UE 115.

[0094] In some examples, the base station 105 can dynamically control the wireless sensing process at the UE 115. For example, if there is a resource conflict or scheduling conflict between the wireless sensing process and the communication between the UE 115 and the base station 105, the base station 105 can send a signaling including a request to suspend the wireless sensing process during the conflicting resources (e.g., during one or more sensing signal burst opportunities). In some cases, the signaling may include an indication of when the UE 115 suspends the wireless sensing process, an indication of subsequent actions to be performed after suspending the wireless sensing process, or both. In some cases, the UE 115 can determine whether to suspend the wireless sensing process or reject communication (e.g., reject the transmission or reception of data or control signaling) based on the priority of the wireless sensing process. For example, if the wireless sensing process has a relatively low priority application, the UE 115 can determine to suspend the wireless sensing process based on receiving a signaling including a request to suspend the wireless sensing process. However, in some cases, sensing can be of high priority (e.g., controlling a vehicle, monitoring, etc.), in which case the UE 115 can determine to reject communication and can continue the wireless sensing process. If the UE 115 continues the wireless sensing process, the UE 115 may report the conflict information in a feedback message back to the base station 105. The base station 105 may reschedule the communication based on the UE 115 continuing the wireless sensing process.

[0095] Figure 2 An example of a wireless communication system 200 that supports dynamic control of sensing duration according to aspects of the present disclosure is shown. In some examples, the wireless communication system 200 can implement aspects of the wireless communication system 100 and can include a UE 115-a, a base station 105-a with a coverage area 110-a, and a communication link 125-a, which can be as described in reference Figure 1 1 , an example of a UE 115, a base station 105 having a coverage area 110, and a communication link 125 are described. In some examples, the base station 105-a can communicate control signaling with the UE 115 (e.g., UE 115-a) using a downlink communication link 205. The control signaling can include a request to suspend the wireless sensing process 210 for one or more sensing signal burst opportunities 215.

[0096] In some cases, UE 115 (such as UE 115-a) may perform a wireless sensing process 220. The wireless sensing process 220 may be a radar sensing process using a mmW radar (e.g., a sub-6 GHz band). In some cases, the mmW radar may have a relatively high bandwidth and a large aperture to extract accurate ranging information, velocity information, angle information, and the like, which may provide the UE with surrounding environmental imaging. In some cases, the mmW radar may provide environmental features in a compact form, which may allow a mobile device to perform the wireless sensing process 220. For example, a handheld or short-range radar device or sensor may be employed at UE 115. In some cases, UE 115 may be a smart phone or smart watch (e.g., a wearable device) including a radar sensor for gesture classification. In some other cases, UE 115 may be a vehicle with a radar device capable of short-range wireless sensing for in-vehicle based control. In some examples, the radar device or radar sensor may use a waveform technique in which a sensing chip sends a radar signal having a predefined waveform (e.g., a frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) or a pulse waveform). The radar device or radar sensor may perform radar signal processing (RSP), in which the reflected received signal is correlated with the transmitted signal to determine ranging information, velocity information (e.g., which may be used to calculate Doppler frequency), angle information, etc. Additionally or alternatively, the radar device or radar sensor may use a machine learning algorithm (e.g., classification, regression, artificial intelligence agent, or a combination thereof) to infer information from the output of the wireless sensing process 220.

[0097] In some cases, the UE 115 may perform a wireless sensing process 220 during a sensing pattern 225 that specifies one or more sensing signal burst opportunities 215. For example, the UE 115 may perform a periodic, semi-persistent, or aperiodic wireless sensing process 220 during one or more sensing signal burst opportunities 215 based on the sensing pattern 225. The sensing pattern 225 may be configured at the UE 115 (e.g., by the base station 105) to time-multiplex one or more sensing signal burst opportunities 215. In some examples, the duration of each sensing signal burst opportunity 215 may be 250 microseconds (μs) (e.g., two time slots for a subcarrier spacing (SCS) of 120 kilohertz (kHz)) or 10 milliseconds (ms), with a 2 ms offset for the periodic or semi-persistent wireless sensing process 220. In some cases, within a burst, there may be discrete symbols for sensing signal transmission (e.g., FMCW or pulses with a pulse duration of 272 nanoseconds (ns) and a pulse period of 10 μs). In some cases, such as for low power consumption scenarios, sensing mode 225 may have a lower density of sensing signal burst opportunities 215 (eg, to image the environment for a portion of the time). In some other cases, sensing mode 225 may have a higher density of sensing signal burst opportunities 215.

[0098] In some examples, different use cases of the wireless sensing process 220 may have different priorities. For example, the UE 115 may perform the wireless sensing process 220 for security applications, intruder detection, health care applications, or beam selection and wireless connection optimization. Each application may have a different level of importance with an associated priority level. For example, a wireless sensing process 220 (e.g., for radio frequency monitoring) may have a higher priority than another wireless sensing process 220 or other signal (such as life signal monitoring with a lower priority (e.g., time interruption may be acceptable)). In some cases, the UE 115 may be configured with different sensing resources for different wireless sensing processes 220 or other purposes. The sensing resource configuration may be switched between sensing applications. For example, when a wireless sensing process 220 associated with monitoring is triggered, a wireless sensing process 220 with a low-density sensing mode 225 may be switched to a high-density sensing mode 225 (e.g., with more sensing signal burst opportunities 215).

[0099] In some cases, one or more sensing signal burst opportunities 215 used for the wireless sensing process 220 may overlap with one or more resources (e.g., resources for sending or receiving data or control signaling) used for communication between the UE 115 and the base station 105. The configured sensing resources (e.g., sensing signal burst opportunities 215) may be multiplexed with downlink or uplink data or control signaling between the base station 105 and the UE 115. Therefore, resource conflicts between sensing resources (such as sensing signal burst opportunities 215) and resources (e.g., time-frequency resources) used for channel and signal transmission or reception may occur, which may result in interference and high signaling overhead caused by retransmissions at the UE 115.

[0100] In some examples, a base station, such as base station 105-a, may dynamically control the wireless sensing process 220 at UE 115. For example, if there is a resource conflict or a scheduling conflict between the wireless sensing process 220 and the communication 230 between UE 115-a and base station 105-a (e.g., the time-frequency resources used for the communication 230 overlap with one or more sensing signal burst opportunities 215), then base station 105-a may send signaling including a request to suspend the wireless sensing process 210 during the conflicting resources (e.g., during the one or more sensing signal burst opportunities 215). In some cases, base station 105-a may send the request to suspend the wireless sensing process 210 to UE 115-a using DCI, MAC-CE, etc. in a downlink control channel (e.g., a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH)).

[0101] In some cases, the signaling may include an indication of when the UE 115-a suspends (e.g., stops) the wireless sensing process 220, an indication of a subsequent action to be performed after suspending the wireless sensing process at 235, or both. In some examples, the UE 115-a may switch from a sensing mode to a data transmission mode, receive another configuration for communication 230, or both based on the indication of the action to be performed. In some examples, the signaling may include an indication of a sensing silence period. For example, the indication of the sensing silence period may be a duration for which the UE 115-a suspends the wireless sensing process at 235. In some cases, the UE 115-a may suspend the wireless sensing process at 235 based on the duration or the indication of when the UE 115-a will suspend the wireless sensing process at 235. The UE 115-a may communicate with the base station 105-a based on suspending the wireless sensing process at 235 (e.g., may send or receive data or control signaling during the conflicting resources). UE 115-a may resume wireless sensing process 220 after the duration. Additionally or alternatively, UE 115-a may receive dynamic control signaling from base station 105-a indicating to UE 115-a to resume wireless sensing process 220. The dynamic control signaling may be indicated in a DCI in a downlink control channel (e.g., PDCCH), MAC-CE, etc.

[0102] In some cases, the signaling may include an indication of a sensing mode 225 that includes one or more silent sensing resource indices. For example, the base station 105-a may send an explicit indication of the silent sensing resource indices in which the UE 115-a will suspend the wireless sensing process 220. The explicit indication may include a bitmap of 1s and 0s, where a sensing resource with an index pointing to 1 means that the UE 115-a will suspend the wireless sensing process 220 during the sensing resource (e.g., for the sensing signal burst opportunity 215). In some other examples, the silent sensing resource may be predefined or configured by a higher layer for a candidate bitmap entry. Control signaling (e.g., DCI block, MAC-CE, etc.) may indicate the index of the silent sensing resource in a predefined bitmap entry for the UE 115-a.

[0103] The UE 115-a may determine whether to suspend the wireless sensing process at 235 or to deny communication 230 (e.g., deny the transmission or reception of data or control signaling) based on the priority of the wireless sensing process 220. For example, if the wireless sensing process 220 has a relatively low priority application, the UE 115-a may determine to suspend the wireless sensing process at 235 based on receiving signaling including a request to suspend the wireless sensing process 210. However, in some cases, sensing may be a high priority (e.g., controlling a vehicle, monitoring, etc.), in which case the UE 115-a may determine to deny communication 230 and may continue the wireless sensing process 220. If the UE 115-a continues the wireless sensing process 220, the UE 115-a may report the conflict information back to the base station 105-a in a feedback message. For example, the UE 115-a may include an indication that resources used for communication 230 may be used to continue the wireless sensing process 220 instead of sending or receiving data or control signaling. In some examples, UE 115-a may indicate one or more available resources (e.g., time resources) for rescheduling communication 230. For example, UE 115-a may know the duration of wireless sensing process 220 and may send an indication including the duration to base station 105-a. Base station 105-a may reschedule communication 230 based on UE 115-a continuing wireless sensing process 220, based on the indication including the duration of wireless sensing process 220 (e.g., an indication of available resources), or both.

[0104] In some cases, if the UE 115-a does not provide information back to the base station 105-a, the base station 105-a may wait for a period of time and then resend the request to suspend the wireless sensing process 210. The UE 115-a may determine to suspend (e.g., terminate) the wireless sensing process at 235 or to continue the wireless sensing process 220 based on the resent request.

[0105] Figure 3 An example of a timeline 300 supporting dynamic control of sensing duration according to aspects of the present disclosure is shown. In some examples, the timeline 300 can implement aspects of the wireless communication system 100, the wireless communication system 200, or both. The timeline 300 can be implemented by the UE 115 during wireless sensing, as described in reference to Figure 1 and 2 For example, the base station 105 may communicate control signaling with the UE 115, the control signaling including a request to suspend the wireless sensing process for one or more sensing signal burst opportunities. In some examples, the UE 115 may selectively suspend or continue the wireless sensing process.

[0106] In some cases, the UE 115 may perform a wireless sensing process according to the sensing pattern 305. For example, the UE 115 may perform wireless sensing, such as radar sensing, during one or more sensing signal burst opportunities 310 based on the sensing pattern 305. In some cases, the sensing pattern may be indicated to the UE 115 via control signaling (e.g., DCI, RRC signaling, MAC-CE, etc.). In some examples, resources used for the wireless sensing process (e.g., sensing signal burst opportunities 310) may be multiplexed with one or more communication resources 315 used to communicate with the base station 105 (e.g., send or receive data or control signaling). The sensing signal burst opportunities 310 may overlap or conflict with the communication resources 315, which may cause interference and high signaling overhead caused by retransmissions at the UE 115.

[0107] In some cases, the base station 105 may send control signaling including a request to suspend sensing at 320-a. The request may include an indication of the duration 325-a for which the UE 115 will suspend the wireless sensing operation, an indication of when to suspend the wireless sensing process, an indication of an action to be performed after suspending the wireless sensing process, or a combination thereof. In some examples, the UE 115 may determine whether to suspend the wireless sensing process or continue the wireless sensing process based on a priority level of the wireless sensing process. For example, if the priority of the wireless sensing process is relatively low, the UE 115 may suspend the wireless sensing process to perform the action indicated in the control signaling (e.g., switching to a data transmission mode, receiving another configuration for data transmission or reception, etc.).

[0108] In some cases, the UE 115 may resume sensing at 330-a. For example, the UE 115 may resume the wireless sensing process based on an indication of the duration 325-a, based on receiving dynamic signaling indicating to the UE 115 to resume the wireless sensing process, or both. The base station 105 may send dynamic signaling to the UE 115 via a DCI, a MAC-CE, or the like in a downlink control channel (e.g., a PDCCH). The UE 115 may continue to perform wireless sensing operations during one or more sensing signal burst opportunities based on the sensing pattern 305. In some cases, the base station 105 may configure the UE 115 with a mode for suspending the wireless sensing process. For example, the UE 115 may suspend sensing at 320-b based on the mode for suspending the wireless sensing process. The mode may include a duration 325 for suspending the wireless sensing process (e.g., a duration 325-a, a duration 325-b, or both) and an index list for suspending sensing (e.g., an indication of when to suspend the wireless sensing process). The UE 115 may resume sensing at 330-b based on the duration 325-b, based on receiving dynamic signaling including a request to resume sensing, or based on both. The UE 115 may continue to perform wireless sensing processes based on the sensing pattern 305 and the mode for suspending wireless sensing processes until otherwise indicated by the base station 105 or as indicated in the mode for suspending wireless sensing processes.

[0109] In some other examples, if the priority of the wireless sensing process is relatively high, the UE 115 may continue the wireless sensing process. The UE 115 may send a feedback message to the base station 105 indicating a rejection of data transmission or reception. The UE 115 may determine one or more available resources (e.g., based on the duration of the wireless sensing process) and may send an indication of the available resources to the base station 105. The base station 105 may reschedule data transmission or reception at the UE 115, for example, based on the available resources.

[0110] In some cases, the base station 105 may not receive a feedback message based on the control signaling from the UE 115 (e.g., the UE 115 may not receive control signaling indicating a request to suspend sensing at 320-a). The base station 105 may send an additional request to suspend sensing at 320-b based on not receiving the feedback message from the UE 115. The UE 115 may suspend sensing at 320-b for a duration 325-b based on receiving the request. In some cases, the UE 115 may receive a request from the base station 105 to resume sensing at 330-b. Additionally or alternatively, the UE 115 may determine to resume the wireless sensing process based on an indication of the duration in the control signaling.

[0111] Figure 4An example of a process flow 400 supporting dynamic control of sensing duration in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure is shown. In some examples, the process flow 400 can implement aspects of the wireless communication system 100, the wireless communication system 200, the timeline 300, or a combination thereof. The process flow 400 can show an example of a base station 105 (such as base station 105-b) communicating control signaling with a UE 115 (such as UE115-b), the control signaling including a request to suspend a wireless sensing process for one or more sensing signal burst opportunities. In some examples, the UE 115-b can selectively suspend the wireless sensing process based on the control signaling. The following alternative examples can be implemented, in which some of the processes are performed or not performed in an order different from the order described. In some cases, the process may include additional features not mentioned below, or additional processes may be added.

[0112] At 405, UE 115-b may perform a wireless sensing process, such as radar sensing, based on a sensing pattern that defines one or more sensing signal burst opportunities. UE 115-b may perform a wireless sensing process during one or more sensing signal burst opportunities. In some cases, the sensing pattern may be periodic, semi-persistent, aperiodic, or a combination thereof.

[0113] At 410, UE 115-b may receive signaling (e.g., a DCI block, a MAC-CE, or both) from base station 105-b that includes a request to suspend a wireless sensing process based on a conflict between one or more sensing signal burst opportunities and resources (such as time resources) used for transmission or reception of data or control signaling between base station 105-b and UE 115-b. In some cases, the signaling may include a pattern of one or more resources during which UE 115-b will suspend the wireless sensing process. For example, UE 115-b may receive an indication of a silent sensing resource index for each of one or more resources (e.g., in a DCI block, a MAC-CE, or both).

[0114] At 415, the UE 115-b may receive an indication of a duration for suspending the wireless sensing process. For example, the UE 115-b may receive an indication of a start time for suspending the wireless sensing process (eg, received in control signaling from the base station 105-b).

[0115] At 420, the UE 115-b may receive an indication of an action to be performed based on suspending the wireless sensing process. For example, based on the indication of the action to be performed, the UE 115-b may switch from a sensing mode to a data transmission or reception mode, may receive a configuration for data transmission or reception, or both.

[0116] At 425 , UE 115 - b may determine, based on the control signaling from 410 , to suspend the wireless sensing process for one or more sensing signal burst opportunities.

[0117] At 430, the UE 115-b may suspend the wireless sensing process. For example, the UE 115-b may suspend the wireless sensing process for the duration based on the indication of the duration, the indication of when to suspend the wireless sensing process, or both. The UE 115-b may perform an action based on the indication of the action to be performed at 420. For example, the UE 115-b may switch from a sensing mode to a data transmission or reception mode, may receive another configuration for communication between the UE 115-b and the base station 105-b, or both.

[0118] At 435, the UE 115-b and the base station 105-b may perform data or control communications during a time period (e.g., one or more overlapping or conflicting sensing signal burst opportunities) based on suspending the wireless sensing process. For example, the UE 115-b and the base station 105-b may communicate using communication resources that overlap or conflict with the one or more sensing signal burst opportunities. The UE 115-b may send or receive data or control signaling.

[0119] At 440, the UE 115-b may receive a request to resume the wireless sensing process from the base station 105-b. The base station 105-b may send the request to resume the wireless sensing process based on the duration of the communication at 435 (e.g., in a DCI message, a MAC-CE, or both).

[0120] At 445, UE 115-b may resume the wireless sensing process based on the request to resume the wireless sensing process, based on the indication of the duration for suspending the wireless sensing process at 415, based on the sensing pattern, or a combination thereof. In some examples, UE 115-b may suspend the wireless sensing process one or more times based on the pattern for suspending the wireless sensing process, which may be included in the request to suspend the wireless sensing process at 410.

[0121] In some examples, UE 115-b may receive another request to suspend the wireless sensing process from base station 105-b. For example, if base station 105-b does not receive feedback from UE 115-b regarding the request to suspend the wireless sensing process at 410, base station 105-b may send another request to suspend the wireless sensing process after a period of time.

[0122] Figure 5An example of a process flow 500 supporting dynamic control of sensing duration according to various aspects of the present disclosure is shown. In some examples, the process flow 500 can implement aspects of the wireless communication system 100, the wireless communication system 200, the timeline 300, or a combination thereof. The process flow 500 can show an example of a base station 105 (such as base station 105-c) communicating control signaling with a UE 115 (such as UE115-c), the control signaling including a request to suspend a wireless sensing process for one or more sensing signal burst opportunities. In some examples, the UE 115-c can selectively continue the wireless sensing process based on the control signaling. The following alternative examples can be implemented, in which some of the processes are performed in a different order than described, or are not performed. In some cases, the process may include additional features not mentioned below, or further processes may be added.

[0123] At 505, the UE 115-c may perform a wireless sensing process, such as radar sensing, based on a sensing pattern that defines one or more sensing signal burst opportunities. The UE 115-c may perform a wireless sensing process during the one or more sensing signal burst opportunities. In some cases, the sensing pattern may be periodic, semi-persistent, aperiodic, or a combination thereof.

[0124] At 510, the UE 115-c may receive signaling (e.g., a DCI block, a MAC-CE, or both) from the base station 105-c that includes a request to suspend a wireless sensing process based on a conflict between one or more sensing signal burst opportunities and resources (such as time resources) used for transmission or reception of data or control signaling between the base station 105-c and the UE 115-c. In some cases, the signaling may include a pattern of one or more resources during which the UE 115-c will suspend the wireless sensing process. For example, the UE 115-c may receive an indication of a silent sensing resource index for each of the one or more resources (e.g., in a DCI block, a MAC-CE, or both).

[0125] At 515, the UE 115-c may receive an indication of a duration for suspending the wireless sensing process. For example, the UE 115-c may receive an indication of a start time for suspending the wireless sensing process (eg, received in control signaling from the base station 105-c).

[0126] At 520, the UE 115-c may receive an indication of an action to be performed based on suspending the wireless sensing process. For example, the UE 115-c may switch from a sensing mode to a data transmission or reception mode based on the indication of the action to be performed, may receive a configuration for data transmission or reception, or both.

[0127] At 525 , the UE 115 - c may determine to deny communications (eg, transmission or reception of data or control signaling) for one or more sensing signal burst opportunities based on the control signaling from 510 .

[0128] At 530, the UE 115-c may send an indication of denying communication between the UE 115-c and the base station 105-c. At 535, the UE 115-c may determine one or more available resources (e.g., based on the duration of the wireless sensing process, such as after the wireless sensing process ends). The UE 115-c may send an indication of the available resources to the base station 105-c.

[0129] At 540, UE 115-c may receive control signaling (e.g., DCI block, MAC-CE, etc.) including scheduling information for communication. The scheduling information may be outside of one or more sensing signal burst opportunities. In some examples, the scheduling information may be based on the indication of available resources from 535.

[0130] The UE 115-c may continue the wireless sensing process at 545. For example, the UE 115-c may perform the wireless sensing process during a time period that includes one or more sensing signal burst opportunities.

[0131] In some examples, UE 115-c may receive another request to suspend the wireless sensing process from base station 105-c. For example, if base station 105-c does not receive feedback from UE 115-c regarding the request to suspend the wireless sensing process at 510, base station 105-c may send another request to suspend the wireless sensing process after a period of time.

[0132] Figure 6 A block diagram 600 of a device 605 supporting dynamic control of sensing duration according to aspects of the present disclosure is shown. The device 605 may be an example of aspects of a UE 115 as described herein. The device 605 may include a receiver 610, a communication manager 615, and a transmitter 620. The device 605 may also include a processor. Each of these components may communicate with each other (e.g., via one or more buses).

[0133] The receiver 610 may receive information, such as packets, user data, or control information associated with various information channels (e.g., control channels, data channels, and information related to dynamic control of sensing duration). The information may be communicated to other components of the device 605. The receiver 610 may be a reference Fig. 9 Examples of various aspects of the transceiver 920 are described. The receiver 610 may utilize a single antenna or a group of antennas.

[0134] The communication manager 615 may: perform a wireless sensing process based on a sensing pattern defining a set of sensing signal burst opportunities; receive signaling from a base station including a request to suspend the wireless sensing process based on a conflict between one or more sensing signal burst opportunities in the set of sensing signal burst opportunities and data transmission between the base station and the UE; determine based on the signaling to suspend the wireless sensing process for one or more sensing signal burst opportunities or to reject data transmission for one or more sensing signal burst opportunities; and selectively continue the wireless sensing process or suspend the wireless sensing process based on the determination. The communication manager 615 may be an example of aspects of the communication manager 910 described herein.

[0135] The actions performed by the communication manager 615 as described herein may be implemented to achieve one or more potential advantages. An embodiment may enable a base station to send a request to suspend a wireless sensing process at a UE based on a resource conflict between the wireless sensing process and a communication between the UE and the base station. The request to suspend the wireless sensing process may enable the UE to communicate with the base station during overlapping resources, which may improve communication delays (e.g., communication delays related to signaling or data retransmissions at the UE), among other advantages.

[0136] Based on implementing the request to suspend the wireless sensing process as described herein, the processor of the UE or base station (e.g., a processor controlling the receiver 610, the communication manager 615, the transmitter 620, or a combination thereof) can reduce the impact or possibility of inefficient communication caused by the UE performing relatively low priority application wireless sensing operations during communication resources. For example, the UE can use the priority of the wireless sensing process to determine whether to suspend the wireless sensing process to communicate with the base station, which can achieve improved resource allocation at the UE and other benefits.

[0153] Fig. 9 A schematic diagram of a system 900 including a device 905 supporting dynamic control of sensing duration according to aspects of the present disclosure is shown. The device 905 may be an example of a device 605, a device 705, or a UE 115 as described herein or include components thereof.
