[0043] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the embodiments of this application, the following description is provided.
[0044] Future mobile communication systems, such as B5G or 6G systems, will possess sensing capabilities in addition to communication capabilities. Sensing capabilities refer to the ability of one or more devices to sense the location, distance, and speed of target objects through the transmission and reception of wireless signals, or to detect, track, identify, and image target objects, events, or environments. With the deployment of small base stations with high-frequency, high-bandwidth capabilities such as millimeter waves and terahertz waves in 6G networks, the resolution of sensing will be significantly improved compared to centimeter waves, enabling 6G networks to provide more refined sensing services. Typical sensing functions and application scenarios are shown in Table 1.
[0045] Table 1
[0046]
[0047] Communication and sensing integration (referred to as communication and sensing integration) refers to the integrated design of communication and sensing functions within the same system through spectrum sharing and hardware sharing. While transmitting information, the system can sense information such as location, distance, and speed, and detect, track, and identify target objects or events. The communication system and the sensing system complement each other, thereby improving overall performance and bringing a better service experience.
[0048] The integration of communication and radar is a typical application of communication-sensing fusion. In the past, radar systems and communication systems were strictly separated due to different research objects and focuses, and in most scenarios, the two systems were studied separately. In fact, radar and communication systems are both typical methods of information transmission, acquisition, processing, and exchange, and they share many similarities in terms of working principles, system architecture, and frequency bands. The design of integrated communication and radar is highly feasible, mainly in the following aspects: First, both communication and sensing systems are based on electromagnetic wave theory, using the transmission and reception of electromagnetic waves to complete information acquisition and transmission; second, both communication and sensing systems have structures such as antennas, transmitters, receivers, and signal processors, resulting in significant overlap in hardware resources; with technological advancements, their operating frequency bands also increasingly overlap; furthermore, they share similarities in key technologies such as signal modulation and reception detection, and waveform design. The integration of communication and radar systems can bring many advantages, such as cost savings, size reduction, power consumption reduction, improved spectral efficiency, and reduced mutual interference, thereby improving the overall system performance.
[0049] Based on the different transmitting and receiving nodes of the sensing signal, there are six types of sensing links. It should be noted that the following description of each sensing link uses one transmitting node and one receiving node as an example. In actual systems, different sensing links can be selected according to different sensing requirements. Each sensing link can have one or more transmitting and receiving nodes, and an actual sensing system can include a variety of different sensing links.
[0050] 1) Base station self-transmitting and self-receiving sensing (base station echo sensing). In this method, the base station sends sensing signals and obtains sensing results by receiving the echoes of these signals.
[0051] 2) Inter-base station air interface sensing. At this time, base station 2 receives the sensing signal sent by base station 1 and obtains the sensing result.
[0052] 3) Uplink air interface sensing. At this time, the base station receives the sensing signal sent by the UE and obtains the sensing result.
[0053] 4) Downlink air interface sensing. At this time, the UE receives the sensing signal sent by the base station and obtains the sensing result.
[0054] 5) Terminal self-transmitting and self-receiving sensing (terminal echo sensing). In this case, the UE sends a sensing signal and obtains the sensing result by receiving the echo of the sensing signal.
[0055] 6) Sidelink sensing between terminals. For example, UE 2 receives the sensing signal sent by UE 1 and obtains the sensing result.
[0056] It should be noted that the above sensing methods all use one sensing signal transmitting node and one sensing signal receiving node as examples. In actual systems, one or more different sensing methods can be selected according to different sensing use cases and sensing requirements, and each sensing method can have one or more transmitting and receiving nodes. The sensing targets can be people and vehicles, and it is assumed that neither people nor vehicles carry or have signal transceiver equipment installed. The sensing targets in actual scenarios will be much more diverse.

[0058] Scenario A: The first device is a terminal, and the second device is a base station;
[0059] Scenario B: The first device is a base station, and the second device is another base station;

[0062] Case E: The first device is a terminal, and the second device is a core network element.
[0063] The information transmission method provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through some embodiments and application scenarios.
[0064] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this application provides an information transmission method, including:
[0065] Step 201: The first device sends capability information to the second device, the capability information indicating that the first device includes at least one set of receiving units, each set of receiving units including at least two receiving antennas or including at least two receiving channels.
[0066] Optionally, the above-mentioned set of receiving units is divided based on the consistency of the receiving channel in the inductive integration. For example, antenna 1 and antenna 2 form one set, and antenna 3 and antenna 4 form another set. Among them, antenna 1 and antenna 2 correspond to transceiver A, and antenna 3 and antenna 4 correspond to transceiver B.
[0067] Step 202: The first device obtains the first message sent by the second device.
[0068] Step 203: In response to the first message, the first device sends a second message, the second message including a first result or a second result of at least two target receiving units, the first result being obtained by measuring the first signal, and the second result being obtained by performing a target operation on the first result corresponding to the at least two target receiving units, the at least two target receiving units being determined based on the at least one set of receiving units; the target operation being a division operation or a conjugate multiplication operation; the first signal including at least one of a reference signal, a synchronization signal, a data signal, and a dedicated signal.
[0069] Optionally, the at least two target receiving units are receiving units in the same set of receiving units.
[0070] Optionally, the target operation can also be an operation other than multiplication or conjugate multiplication;
[0071] Optionally, after receiving the first message, the first device measures the first signal to obtain the first result from at least two target receiving units. Optionally, the first signal is sent by the second device or by a third device other than the second device.
[0072] Optionally, the first signal is a sensing signal. The first device can support sensing services by receiving the first signal. For example, by receiving the sensing signal, it can obtain a sensing measurement result or a sensing result, which is a measurement result corresponding to the first measurement and / or the second measurement described below. The sensing measurement includes the first measurement and / or the second measurement described below.
[0073] The aforementioned first signal can be a signal that does not contain transmitted information, such as existing LTE / NR synchronization and reference signals, including synchronization signals and physical broadcast channel (PBCH block, SSB) signals, channel state information-reference signals (CSI-RS), demodulation reference signals (DMRS), sounding reference signals (SRS), positioning reference signals (PRS), phase tracking reference signals (PTRS), etc.; it can also be a dedicated signal commonly used by radar, such as continuous wave (CW), frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW), and ultra-wideband Gaussian pulse, etc.; it can also be a newly designed dedicated signal with good correlation characteristics and low peak-to-average power ratio, or a newly designed integrated sensing signal that carries certain information and has good sensing performance. For example, the newly designed dedicated signal is formed by splicing / combining / superimposing at least one dedicated sensing signal / reference signal and at least one communication signal in the time domain and / or frequency domain.
[0074] Optionally, the first result is associated with a first measurement.
[0075] Optionally, the first measurement quantity (which may also be described as a first-level measurement quantity) in the embodiments of this application includes at least one of the following:
[0076] The result of the frequency domain channel response, that is, the result of the frequency domain channel response of the received object, can be obtained by channel estimation. In general, the result of the frequency domain channel response is in complex form.
[0077] The amplitude of the frequency domain channel response, that is, the amplitude of the frequency domain channel response of the receiving object;
[0078] The phase of the frequency domain channel response, that is, the phase of the frequency domain channel response of the received object;
[0079] The I-channel data of the frequency domain channel response, i.e., the I-channel data of the frequency domain channel response of the received object;
[0080] The Q-channel data of the frequency domain channel response, i.e., the Q-channel data of the frequency domain channel response of the received object;
[0081] The result of the operation on the I-channel data and the Q-channel data is the result of the operation on the I-channel data and the Q-channel data of the frequency domain channel response of the receiving object.
[0082] The aforementioned receiving objects include received signals or receiving channels.
[0083] Optionally, the aforementioned operations may include addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, matrix addition, subtraction, multiplication, matrix transpose, trigonometric operations, square root operations, and exponentiation operations, as well as threshold detection results and maximum / minimum value extraction results of the above operations; the operations may also include Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) / Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT), Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) / Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform (IDFT), 2D-FFT, 3D-FFT, matched filtering, autocorrelation operations, wavelet transform, and digital filtering, as well as threshold detection results and maximum / minimum value extraction results of the above operations.
[0084] For example, the result of the operation on I-channel data and Q-channel data can be determined by I×cos(theta)+Q×sin(theta), where theta is a certain angle value, I represents I-channel data, and Q represents Q-channel data.
[0085] Optionally, the second result is obtained by dividing or multiplying the two first results. For example, it could be the frequency domain channel response (e.g., one or more subcarriers, RE, PRB, BWP, carrier, etc.) of a frequency resource (e.g., one or more subcarriers, RE, PRB, BWP, carrier, etc.) of a receiving antenna / receiving antenna port / receiving channel obtained over a period of time (e.g., 100 seconds) with a sampling period (e.g., 20ms sampling period); the frequency domain channel response estimated by the receiving device for the received time domain signal using the least squares method or LMMSE method; or the information on the time-varying amplitude and phase of the frequency domain channel response of one subcarrier of two receiving antennas obtained from actual CSI-RS testing of the 5G system. Then, the frequency domain channel response (e.g., one or more subcarriers, RE, PRB, BWP, carrier, etc.) of the two receiving antennas / receiving antenna ports / receiving channels is divided or multiplied by its conjugate.
[0086] In this embodiment, a first device sends capability information to a second device, the capability information indicating that the first device includes at least one set of receiving units; the first device acquires a first message sent by the second device; in response to the first message, the first device sends a second message, the second message including a first result or a second result of at least two target receiving units, the first result being obtained by measuring a first signal, and the second result being obtained by performing a target operation on the first results corresponding to the at least two target receiving units, the at least two target receiving units being determined based on the at least one set of receiving units. The receiving units in the aforementioned set of receiving units can be understood as receiving units corresponding to the same capability. Based on the first result or second result of at least two target receiving units in this set, random amplitude or phase variations in CSI can be effectively eliminated, thereby accurately recovering the sensing results.
[0087] Optionally, at least two receiving antennas or at least two receiving channels in each set of receiving units correspond to the same transceiver; or, at least two receiving antennas or at least two receiving channels in each set of receiving units correspond to the same analog-to-digital converter; or, at least two receiving antennas in each set of receiving units have the same polarization characteristics, for example, at least two receiving antennas in one set of receiving units are both +45 degree polarized, and at least two receiving antennas in another set of receiving units are both -45 degree polarized; or, at least two receiving antennas in each set of receiving units have the same feeder length, for example, at least two receiving antennas in one set of receiving units have a feeder length of less than 1 cm, and at least two receiving antennas in another set of receiving units have a feeder length of 1 cm to 1.5 cm.
[0088] In this embodiment, the first device sends capability information to the second device. This capability information represents multiple receiving antennas or receiving channels (receiving unit sets) corresponding to the same transceiver or analog-to-digital converter (ADC), or it represents multiple receiving antennas (receiving unit sets) with consistent polarization characteristics or feeder lengths. Therefore, obtaining a first or second result based on two receiving units within the aforementioned receiving unit set can eliminate random amplitude or phase variations in CSI. Since the first measurement results of at least two receiving antennas or at least two receiving channels within the same receiving unit set exhibit consistent patterns of random amplitude or phase variations in CSI, the influence of random amplitude or phase variations in CSI can be offset by performing division or conjugate multiplication on the first measurement results of two receiving antennas or two receiving channels within the same receiving unit set.

[0134] B12. CFAR is performed on the Doppler one-dimensional map obtained from slow-time FFT processing of the echo signal. The sample point with the largest amplitude exceeding the CFAR threshold is taken as the target sample point, and its amplitude is taken as the target signal amplitude. Figure 3 As shown;
[0135] B13. Based on the time delay-Doppler two-dimensional map obtained by 2D-FFT processing of the echo signal, CFAR is performed, with the maximum amplitude sample point of CFAR exceeding the threshold as the target sample point and its amplitude as the target signal amplitude.
[0136] B14. Perform CFAR based on the time delay-Doppler-angle three-dimensional map obtained from the 3D-FFT processing of the echo signal, and take the sample point with the maximum amplitude of CFAR crossing the threshold as the target sample point and its amplitude as the target signal amplitude.
[0137] It should be noted that, in addition to using the maximum amplitude sample point of CFAR crossing the threshold as the target sample point, the target signal amplitude can also be determined by using the average of the maximum amplitude sample point of CFAR crossing the threshold and its nearest several threshold-crossing sample points as the target signal amplitude.
[0138] A102, Perceived Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR);
[0139] For example, the perceived SNR could be the ratio of the power of the signal component associated with the perceived target to the noise power.

[0141] For example, the perceived SINR could be the ratio of the power of the signal component associated with the perceived target to the sum of the power of noise and interference.
[0142] Specifically, the method for obtaining the SNR / SINR can be:
[0143] B21. Based on the one-dimensional time delay map obtained by fast time dimension FFT processing of echo signal, constant false alarm rate (CFAR) is performed. The sample point with the largest amplitude of CFAR exceeding the threshold is taken as the target sample point, and its amplitude is taken as the target signal amplitude. All sample points in the one-dimensional map other than ±ε sample points away from the target sample point are taken as interference / noise sample points, and their average interference / amplitude is calculated as the interference / noise signal amplitude. Finally, SNR / SINR is calculated based on the target signal amplitude and the interference / noise signal amplitude.
[0144] B22. CFAR is performed on the Doppler one-dimensional map obtained by slow-time FFT processing of the echo signal. The sample point with the largest amplitude that crosses the threshold in CFAR is taken as the target sample point, and its amplitude is taken as the target signal amplitude. All sample points in the one-dimensional map other than ±η sample points away from the target sample point are taken as interference / noise sample points, and their average amplitude is calculated as the interference / noise signal amplitude. Finally, SNR / SINR is calculated based on the target signal amplitude and the interference / noise signal amplitude.
[0145] B23. Based on the time-delay-Doppler two-dimensional map obtained by 2D-FFT processing of the echo signal, perform CFAR. Take the sample point with the largest amplitude that crosses the threshold in CFAR as the target sample point and its amplitude as the target signal amplitude. Take all sample points in the two-dimensional map that are ±ε (fast time dimension) and ±η (slow time dimension) sample points away from the target sample point as interference / noise sample points and calculate their average amplitude as the interference / noise signal amplitude. Finally, calculate SNR / SINR based on the target signal amplitude and the interference / noise signal amplitude.
[0146] B24. Based on the time delay-Doppler-angle three-dimensional map obtained by 3D-FFT processing of echo signal, perform CFAR. Take the sample point with the largest amplitude that crosses the threshold in CFAR as the target sample point and its amplitude as the target signal amplitude. Take all sample points in the three-dimensional map that are outside the target sample point by ±ε (fast time dimension), ±η (slow time dimension), and ±δ (angle dimension) sample points as interference / noise sample points and calculate their average amplitude as the interference / noise signal amplitude. Finally, calculate SNR / SINR based on the target signal amplitude and the interference / noise signal amplitude.
[0147] It should be noted that, in addition to using the maximum amplitude sample point of CFAR crossing the threshold as the target sample point, the target signal amplitude can also be determined by using the average of the maximum amplitude sample point of CFAR crossing the threshold and its nearest several threshold-crossing sample points as the target signal amplitude.
[0148] It should be noted that the determination of interference / noise sample points can also be based on further screening of the interference / noise sample points determined above. The screening method is as follows: For a one-dimensional time delay map, remove several sample points near the time delay of 0, and use the remaining interference / noise sample points as noise sample points; for a one-dimensional Doppler map, remove several sample points near the Doppler value of 0, and use the remaining interference / noise sample points as interference / noise sample points; for a two-dimensional time delay-Doppler map, remove the interference / noise sample points in the strip-shaped range formed by several points near the time delay of 0 and the entire Doppler range, and use the remaining noise sample points as interference / noise sample points; for a three-dimensional time delay-Doppler-angle map, remove the interference / noise sample points in the slice-shaped range formed by several points near the time dimension of 0, the entire Doppler range, and the entire angle range, and use the remaining interference / noise sample points as interference / noise sample points.

[0249] In this embodiment, the channel frequency domain response H on two target receiving units (such as receiving antennas) will produce a mirror component (i.e., symmetrical positive and negative frequency domains) after conjugate multiplication, while the quotient will not have this problem. Regarding the symmetry of the positive and negative frequency domains, only one can be reported. This can be randomly selected or determined based on prior information. The prior information can be the target motion direction (the direction information can determine the positive and negative Doppler values), or the sensing type (e.g., respiratory monitoring, in which case only a positive Doppler value needs to be reported). The prior information can be notified by the base station.
[0250] Alternatively, before performing the conjugate multiplication, a preprocessing step can be taken to ensure that the true Doppler value is greater than the mirror image value. This can be done in two ways:
[0251] Add a constant to H that is not conjugate, and subtract a constant from H that is conjugate;

The receiving units in the aforementioned set of receiving units can be understood as receiving units corresponding to the same capability. Based on the first or second result of at least two target receiving units in that receiving unit, random amplitude or phase variations in CSI can be effectively eliminated, thereby enabling the second device to obtain sensing results that other devices can recover with high accuracy.
