[0043] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0044] In this article, the term "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone.

[0045] The terms "first" and "second," etc., used in the specification and drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects or to distinguish different treatments of the same object, rather than to describe a specific order of objects.

[0046] Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, used in the description of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the steps or units listed, but may optionally include other steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to such process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0047] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, the words "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or explanations. Any embodiment or design scheme described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design schemes. Specifically, the use of the words "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0048] In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0049] In the Internet of Things (IoT), sensors are typically used to collect environmental data, and monitoring and early warning systems are then developed based on this data. Based on transmission methods and technologies, sensors can generally be categorized into wired sensors and wireless sensors.

[0050] For wired sensors, wired connections are typically used to connect the sensor to the network. Common connection methods include Ethernet, RS-485 communication interface, and Universal Serial Bus (USB). Wired sensors have the advantages of stability, reliability, and strong anti-interference capability. However, wired sensors are limited by wiring and other factors, making them unsuitable for scenarios requiring high flexibility.

[0051] Given the limitations of wired sensors, traditional wireless sensors can utilize wireless communication technology to transmit sensor data to a network. This offers advantages such as simple wiring and high flexibility, making them suitable for environments with widespread distribution or where wiring is difficult. Common wireless transmission technologies include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, and LoRa.

[0052] However, traditional wireless sensing systems rely on battery power, which has limitations in battery life and requires frequent battery replacements. For scenarios involving large-scale deployment of wireless sensors, maintenance costs are high and operational complexity increases.

[0053] Addressing the limitations of traditional wireless sensors, passive wireless sensors capture energy from the environment, such as light, vibration, or radio waves, using an energy harvester and convert it into electrical energy to power the sensor. This eliminates the reliance on batteries found in traditional wireless sensors, offering advantages such as reduced maintenance costs and long-term stable operation.

[0054] Common passive wireless sensors include radio frequency identification (RFID) sensors and surface acoustic wave (SAW) gas sensors.

[0055] However, existing passive wireless sensing systems still have inconveniences in application. For example, RFID sensors are limited in application scenarios due to their short signal transmission distance, and SAW gas sensors use analog signals, which are susceptible to interference, rely on frequency for differentiation, are prone to cross-reading, and have relatively low accuracy.

[0056] Given the limitations of RFID and SAW sensors, network devices power MDFC sensors by transmitting drive signals to avoid the inconvenience of using batteries or laying cables. Figure 1 As shown, in the relevant technical solution, when the MDFC sensor receives a driving microwave sent by the signal transceiver of the network device in space, it will convert the frequency of the driving microwave within the MDFC and return the converted microwave signal to the signal transceiver of the network device for reception via a preset frequency band. Because the converted microwave signal returned by the MDFC is affected by the internal sensor of the MDFC, resulting in frequency modulation, the returned converted microwave carries the sensing data of the MDFC sensor. By analyzing and processing the returned converted microwave through the signal transceiver within the network device, the original sensing data can be recovered.

[0057] However, the preset frequency band used by the MDFC sensor is a public band, meaning that other devices besides the MDFC sensor can also transmit signals with network devices within this preset frequency band. For MDFC sensor signals, this preset frequency band is subject to various interference signals from other devices, such as Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) signals, Narrow Band Internet of Things (NB-IoT) signals, Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) signals, and Long Term Evolution Frequency Division Duplex (LTE FDD) signals. Furthermore, while receiving MDFC sensor signals through this preset frequency band, network devices inevitably also receive interference signals, making it impossible to accurately interpret the MDFC sensor signals.

[0058] In view of this, the sensing signal detection method provided in this application involves an MDFC sensor responding to a first driving signal to generate a first MDFC sensing signal and sending the first MDFC sensing signal to a network device. Correspondingly, the network device receives multiple first detection signals, each consisting of a precursor signal and a data signal. For each first detection signal, the network device determines whether the waveform of the precursor signal matches the waveform of the first driving signal; if they match, the first detection signal is identified as a first MDFC sensing signal. This technical solution solves the problem that network devices cannot accurately analyze MDFC sensing signals due to interference from interference signals, enabling accurate differentiation between interference signals and MDFC sensing signals, and significantly improving the accuracy of MDFC sensing signal analysis.

[0059] The embodiments of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0060] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a sensor signal detection system provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the detection system for the sensor signal includes: network device 201 and MDFC sensor 202.

[0061] The MDFC sensor 202 can be one or more; for ease of understanding... Figure 2 Only one is shown. Network device 201 and MDFC sensor 202 are connected via a wireless communication link.

[0062] In one possible implementation, network device 201 generates a target sequence of data, generates a drive signal based on the target sequence of data, and sends the drive signal to MDFC sensor 202. Network device 101 is also used to receive multiple signals to be detected and detect the MDFC sensor signal among the signals to be detected.

[0063] Optionally, the network device 201 can send drive signals and receive MDFC sensor signals through its internal signal transceiver.

[0064] The network device in this embodiment is a network-side entity used to transmit signals, receive signals, or both. The network device can be a device deployed in a radio access network (RAN) to provide wireless communication functionality for terminal 101. Examples include a TRP, a base station (e.g., an evolved NodeB (eNB or eNodeB), a next-generation node base station (gNB), a next-generation eNB (ng-eNB), etc.), various forms of control nodes (e.g., a network controller, a radio controller (e.g., a radio controller in a cloud radio access network (CRAN) scenario), a roadside unit (RSU), etc.). Specifically, the network device can be various forms of macro base stations, micro base stations (also called small stations), relay stations, access points (APs), etc., or it can be the antenna panel of a base station. The control node can connect to multiple base stations and configure resources for multiple terminal devices covered by the multiple base stations. In systems employing different radio access technologies (RATs), the names of devices with base station functions may differ. For example, in LTE systems, they may be called eNB or eNodeB, while in 5G or NR systems, they may be called gNB. This application does not limit the specific name of the network equipment.

[0065] In one possible implementation, the MDFC sensor 202 is used to generate an MDFC sensing signal in response to a driving signal and transmit the MDFC sensing signal within a preset frequency band.

[0066] Optionally, the MDFC sensor 202 can be an MDFC sensor or other passive wireless sensor that transmits signals through a preset frequency band; this application does not limit this.

[0067] When implemented in hardware, the various modules in the sensor signal detection system can be integrated into, for example... Figure 3 The hardware structure of the sensor signal detection device shown is implemented. Specifically, as... Figure 3 The diagram illustrates the basic hardware structure of a sensor signal detection device.

[0068] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the hardware structure of a sensor signal detection device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 As shown, the sensor signal detection device includes at least one processor 301, a communication line 302, and at least one communication interface 304, and may also include a memory 303. The processor 301, memory 303, and communication interface 304 are connected via the communication line 302.

[0069] The processor 301 may be a central processing unit (CPU), an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or one or more integrated circuits configured to implement the embodiments of this application, such as one or more digital signal processors (DSPs), or one or more field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).

[0070] Communication line 302 may include a path for transmitting information between the aforementioned components.

[0071] Communication interface 304 is used to communicate with other devices or communication networks. It can use any transceiver-like device, such as Ethernet, radio access network (RAN), wireless local area network (WLAN), etc.

[0072] The memory 303 may be a read-only memory (ROM) or other type of static storage device capable of storing static information and instructions, random access memory (RAM) or other type of dynamic storage device capable of storing information and instructions, or electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), compact disc read-only memory (CD-ROM) or other optical disc storage, optical disc storage (including compressed optical discs, laser discs, optical discs, digital universal optical discs, Blu-ray discs, etc.), magnetic disk storage media or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium capable of including or storing desired program code in the form of instructions or data structures and accessible by a computer, but not limited thereto.

[0073] In one possible design, the memory 303 can exist independently of the processor 301, meaning the memory 303 can be an external memory of the processor 301. In this case, the memory 303 can be connected to the processor 301 via a communication line 302 to store execution instructions or application code, and its execution is controlled by the processor 301 to implement the sensing signal detection method provided in the following embodiments of this application. In another possible design, the memory 303 can also be integrated with the processor 301, meaning the memory 303 can be an internal memory of the processor 301. For example, the memory 303 can be a cache, used to temporarily store some data and instruction information.

[0074] As one possible implementation, processor 301 may include one or more CPUs, for example Figure 3 CPU0 and CPU1 in the example. As another possible implementation, the sensing signal detection device may include multiple processors, such as... Figure 3 The processors 301 and 307 are included. As another possible implementation, the sensing signal detection device may also include an output device 305 and an input device 306.

[0075] It should be noted that the various embodiments of this application can be referenced or learned from each other. For example, the same or similar steps, method embodiments, system embodiments and device embodiments can be referenced from each other without limitation.

[0076] Figure 4 This application provides a flowchart of a method for detecting sensor signals, which can be applied to, for example... Figure 2 The sensor signal detection system shown. For example... Figure 4As shown, the method includes the following S401-S404.

[0077] S401, the MDFC sensor responds to the first driving signal and generates the first MDFC sensing signal.

[0078] The first driving signal is used to drive the MDFC sensor into the working state and generate the first MDFC sensing signal.

[0079] Optional, such as Figure 5 As shown, the timing pattern of the network device sending drive signals is as follows: the network device sends drive signals during the time intervals T1-T2, T3-T4, and T5-T6; and the network device does not send drive signals during the time intervals T2-T3 and T4-T5.

[0080] In one example, the first MDFC sensing signal consists of a pilot signal and a data signal. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the timing pattern of the leader signal of the first MDFC sensing signal is the same as that of the first driving signal.

[0081] In one example, in response to a first drive signal, the waveform of the pilot signal in the first MDFC sensing signal generated by the MDFC sensor is the same as the waveform of the first drive signal.

[0082] S402, the MDFC sensor transmits a first MDFC sensing signal within a preset frequency band. Correspondingly, the network device receives multiple first detection signals.

[0083] Optionally, the network device receives multiple first signals to be detected within a preset frequency band.

[0084] It should be noted that since the preset frequency band is a public band, devices other than the MDFC sensor can also transmit signals with the network device within this preset frequency band. While the network device receives the first MDFC sensor signal through the preset frequency band, it will also receive interference signals. Therefore, multiple signals to be detected may contain both the first MDFC sensor signal and interference signals.

[0085] S403. For each first signal to be detected, the network device determines whether the waveform of the pilot signal of the first signal to be detected is consistent with the waveform of the first driving signal.

[0086] The first signal to be detected consists of a pilot signal and a data signal. The pilot signal is used to compare with the drive signal to determine the type of the first signal to be detected, while the data signal carries the data information transmitted by the device. For example, if the device is an MDFC sensor, the data signal is the sensing information collected by the MDFC sensor.

[0087] It should be noted that the MDFC sensing signal sent by the MDFC sensor and the drive signal sent by the network device are time-coherent. That is, if the network device sends the drive signal according to a specific timing pattern, the MDFC sensor will return an MDFC sensing signal according to the same timing pattern. Therefore, the waveforms of the leader signal and the drive signal in the MDFC sensing signal are necessarily identical. However, other interference signals are not necessarily related to the drive signal, and their waveforms are unrelated. Therefore, by determining whether the waveform of the leader signal of the signal to be detected is identical to the waveform of the drive signal, it can be determined whether the signal to be detected is an MDFC sensing signal.

[0088] S404. If they match, the network device determines that the first signal to be detected is the first MDFC sensor signal.

[0089] Furthermore, if there is a discrepancy, the network device determines that the first signal to be detected is an interference signal.

[0090] In one example, for each first signal to be detected, it is determined whether the waveform of the leader signal of the first signal to be detected is consistent with the waveform of the first driving signal. If they are consistent, the first signal to be detected is determined to be a first MDFC sensing signal. If they are inconsistent, the network device determines that the first signal to be detected is an interference signal.

[0091] In another example, such as Figure 6 As shown, for each first signal to be detected, it is determined whether the timing pattern of the precursor signal of the first signal to be detected is consistent with the timing pattern of the first driving signal. If they are consistent, the first signal to be detected is determined to be the first MDFC sensing signal. If they are inconsistent, the network device determines that the first signal to be detected is an interference signal.

[0092] Furthermore, the first MDFC sensing signal is analyzed to obtain the sensing data carried in the first MDFC sensing signal.

[0093] Based on the above technical solution, the sensing signal detection method provided in this application involves an MDFC sensor responding to a first driving signal to generate a first MDFC sensing signal and sending the first MDFC sensing signal to a network device. Correspondingly, the network device receives multiple first detection signals, each consisting of a pilot signal and a data signal. For each first detection signal, the network device determines whether the waveform of the pilot signal matches the waveform of the first driving signal; if they match, the first detection signal is identified as a first MDFC sensing signal. This technical solution solves the problem that network devices cannot accurately analyze MDFC sensing signals due to interference from interference signals, enabling accurate differentiation between interference signals and MDFC sensing signals, and significantly improving the accuracy of MDFC sensing signal analysis.

[0094] As one possible embodiment of this application, combined with Figure 4 ,like Figure 7 As shown, prior to S401 above, the process of the network device sending the first drive signal to the MDFC sensor may include the following S701-S703.

[0095] S701. The network device generates the first target sequence according to a preset algorithm.

[0096] The first target sequence includes either a random number sequence or a pseudo-random number sequence.

[0097] Optionally, the preset algorithm can be a pseudo-random number algorithm or other algorithms that can generate random number sequences; this application does not limit this.

[0098] S702, The network device converts the first target sequence into a first drive signal.

[0099] In one example, the network device uses internal conversion rules or algorithms to convert a random number sequence or pseudo-random number sequence into a signal transmission timing sequence. Then, based on the signal transmission timing sequence, the network device generates a first driving signal.

[0100] S703, the network device sends a first drive signal to the MDFC sensor. Correspondingly, the MDFC sensor receives the first drive signal from the network device.

[0101] In one example, the network device sends a first drive signal to the MDFC sensor based on the signal transmission timing.

[0102] Based on the above technical solution, the network device generates a first target sequence according to a preset algorithm. The network device converts the first target sequence into a first driving signal and sends the first driving signal to the MDFC sensor. In extremely low probability, there may be a situation where the interference signal and the first driving signal have the same timing sequence. The above technical solution can generate the driving signal through a preset algorithm, greatly reducing the probability that the interference signal and the driving signal have the same timing sequence, thereby reducing the false recognition rate.

[0103] As one possible embodiment of this application, combined with Figure 4 ,like Figure 8 As shown, by repeating the first operation N times or less, the second MDFC sensing signal obtained in the Nth operation is analyzed to obtain MDFC sensing data. N is a positive integer.

[0104] In one example, N is 2.

[0105] Specifically, the first operation includes the following S801-S805.

[0106] S801, the network device sends a second drive signal to the MDFC sensor. Correspondingly, the MDFC sensor receives the second drive signal from the network device.

[0107] The second driving signal is used to drive the MDFC sensor into the working state and generate the second MDFC sensing signal.

[0108] Optionally, the second driving signal is generated based on the second target sequence; the second target sequence includes one of a random number sequence or a pseudo-random number sequence; the second target sequence is a sequence randomly generated based on a preset algorithm.

[0109] S802, the MDFC sensor responds to the second driving signal and generates a second MDFC sensing signal.

[0110] It is understood that, referring to the embodiments described in S401, this will not be repeated here.

[0111] S803, the MDFC sensor transmits a second MDFC sensing signal within a preset frequency band. Correspondingly, the network device receives at least one second detection signal according to the first frequency.

[0112] Wherein, the first frequency is the frequency of the first MDFC sensing signal.

[0113] It should be noted that the frequency of the MDFC sensor signal generated by each MDFC sensor is fixed. Therefore, all MDFC sensor signals generated by one MDFC sensor have the same frequency. Thus, network devices can receive other MDFC sensor signals generated by the same MDFC sensor that generated the first MDFC sensor signal, based on the first frequency.

[0114] S804. For each second signal to be detected, the network device compares whether the waveform of the leader signal of the second signal to be detected is consistent with the waveform of the second driving signal.

[0115] It is understood that, referring to the embodiments described in S403, this section will not repeat them.

[0116] S805 If they match, the network device determines that the second signal to be detected is the second MDFC sensor signal.

[0117] Furthermore, if there is a discrepancy, the network device determines that the second signal to be detected is an interference signal.

[0118] Based on the above technical solution, the network device sends a second driving signal to the MDFC sensor. The MDFC sensor responds to the second driving signal, generates a second MDFC sensing signal, and transmits the second MDFC sensing signal within a preset frequency band. The network device receives at least one second detection signal according to a first frequency. For each second detection signal, the network device compares the waveform of the leader signal of the second detection signal with the waveform of the second driving signal. If they match, the network device determines that the second detection signal is a second MDFC sensing signal. In the above technical solution, the network device obtains the second detection signal through the first frequency of the first MDFC sensing signal. Compared to receiving all signals within the preset frequency band, the number of interference signals in the second detection signal obtained by the above technical solution is greatly reduced, achieving the effect of reducing the computational burden on the network device.
