As long as the same technical effect is achieved, the base station is not limited to specific technical terms. It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, only the base station in the NR system is used as an example for introduction, and the specific type of the base station is not limited.

[0040] The core network equipment may include but is not limited to at least one of the following: core network node, core network function, mobility management entity (Mobility Management Entity, MME), access mobility management function (Access and Mobility Management Function, AMF), session management function (Session Management Function, SMF), user plane function (User Plane Function, UPF), policy control function (Policy Control Function, PCF), policy and charging rules function unit (Policy and Charging Rules Function, PCRF), edge application service discovery function (Edge Application Server Discovery Function, EASDF), unified data management (Unified Data Management, UDM), unified data storage (Unified Data Repository, UDR), home user server (Home Subscriber Server, HSS), centralized network configuration (CNC), network storage function (Network Repository Function, NRF), network exposure function (Network Exposure Function, NEF), local NEF (Local NEF, or L-NEF), binding support function (Binding Support Function, BSF), application function (Application Function, AF), etc. It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, only the core network device in the NR system is introduced as an example, and the specific type of the core network device is not limited.

[0041] In some communication systems, for communication services, the corresponding reference signal sequence is usually generated according to the frequency domain dimension (or subcarrier dimension) and frequency domain mapping is performed. The reference signal sequence corresponding to the frequency domain dimension has good correlation characteristics. The reference signal sequences corresponding to different time domain positions are generated in different ways (associated with the time slot number and / or symbol number), and the receiving end processing is also usually performed along the frequency domain dimension.

[0042] For example: For Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) baseband transmission signals Where l represents the symbol index, k represents the subcarrier index, Δf represents the subcarrier spacing, and T O represents the OFDM symbol duration (including the cyclic prefix (CP)), M represents the number of symbols, N represents the number of subcarriers, and c(k,l) represents the modulation data corresponding to subcarrier k and symbol l.

[0043] Among them, the sequence along the frequency domain dimension, that is, for the same symbol l0, the sequence {c(0,l0), c(1,l0),…, c(N-1,l0)} is usually generated based on a specially designed sequence with good correlation characteristics (such as a pseudo-random sequence or a ZC sequence); while the sequence along the time domain dimension, that is, for the same subcarrier k0, the sequence {c(k0,0), c(k0,1),…, c(k0,M-1)} is not specially considered or designed.

[0044] In some embodiments, the network side devices and terminals may have perception capabilities in addition to communication capabilities. Perception capabilities refer to one or more devices with perception capabilities that can sense the direction, distance, speed and other information of target objects through the transmission and reception of wireless signals, or detect, track, identify, image and the like the target objects, events or environments. Some perception functions and application scenarios are shown in Table 1:

[0045] Table 1

[0046]

[0047] It should be noted that the perception category shown in Table 1 above is only an example, and the category of perception measurement is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0048] In addition, the embodiments of the present application can be applied to the communication and perception integration scenario, where communication and perception integration refers to the integrated design of communication and perception functions through spectrum sharing and hardware sharing in the same system. While transmitting information, the system can perceive information such as direction, distance, speed, and detect, track, and identify target devices or events. The communication system and the perception system complement each other to achieve overall performance improvement and bring a better service experience.

[0049] For example: the integration of communication and radar is a typical communication-perception integration (communication-perception fusion) application, and the integration of communication and radar systems can bring many advantages, such as cost savings, size reduction, power consumption reduction, improved spectrum efficiency, reduced mutual interference, etc., thereby improving the overall performance of the system.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, according to the difference between the sensing signal sending node and the receiving node, it may include but is not limited to Figure 2 The six sensing links shown in FIG. Figure 2Each perception link is illustrated by a sending node and a receiving node. In the actual system, different perception links can be selected according to different perception requirements. Each perception link can have one or more sending nodes and receiving nodes, and the actual perception system can include multiple different perception links. Figure 2 The perception targets in the example are people and cars, and it is assumed that people and cars do not carry or install signal receiving / transmitting equipment. The perception targets in actual scenes will be richer.

[0051] Sensing link 1: The base station sends and receives sensing signals on its own. In this mode, the base station sends sensing signals and obtains sensing results by receiving the echo of the sensing signals.

[0052] Sensing link 2: air interface sensing between base stations. In this mode, base station 2 receives the sensing signal sent by base station 1 and obtains the sensing result.

[0053] Perception link 3: Uplink air interface perception. In this mode, the base station receives the perception signal sent by the terminal and obtains the perception result.

[0054] Perception link 4: Downlink air interface perception. In this mode, the terminal receives the perception signal sent by the base station and obtains the perception result.

[0055] Perception link 5: Terminal self-transmitting and self-receiving perception. In this mode, the terminal sends a perception signal and obtains the perception result by receiving the echo of the perception signal.

[0056] Perception link 6: Sidelink perception between terminals. For example, terminal 2 receives a perception signal sent by terminal 1 to obtain a perception result, or terminal 1 receives a perception signal sent by terminal 2 to obtain a perception result.

[0057] In the following, in combination with the accompanying drawings, a signal mapping method, a receiving method end and a device provided in an embodiment of the present application are described in detail through some embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0058] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a flow chart of a signal mapping method provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0059] Step 301: A first device obtains a target sequence, where the number of elements of the target sequence is greater than or equal to M×N, where M is an integer greater than 1, and N is an integer greater than 1.

[0060] Among them, the above-mentioned first device can be a network side device or a terminal.

[0061] The number of elements of the target sequence is greater than or equal to M×N, which can be understood as the number of elements of the target sequence can be M×N or greater than M×N. For example, the length of the target sequence is N0≥M×N.

[0062] Step 302: The first device maps the M×N elements in the target sequence to transmission resources, where the number of time domain resource units of the transmission resources is M and the number of frequency domain resource units of the transmission resources is N.

[0063] The above transmission resources can be called two-dimensional time-frequency resources.

[0064] The above-mentioned time domain resource unit can be a symbol, a time slot, a sub-time slot or the number of time domain sampling points, for example: the number of symbols corresponding to the above-mentioned transmission resources is M; the above-mentioned frequency domain resource unit can be a frequency domain resource unit such as a subcarrier, a resource block (Resource block, RB) or the number of frequency domain sampling points, for example: the number of subcarriers corresponding to the above-mentioned transmission resources is N.

[0065] The first device mapping the M×N elements in the target sequence to the transmission resources may be mapping the M×N elements in the target sequence to M×N resource units of the transmission resources respectively.

[0066] In an embodiment of the present application, since the M×N elements in the target sequence are mapped to the transmission resource, and the number of time domain resource units of the transmission resource is M, and the number of frequency domain resource units of the transmission resource is N, the signal has relevant characteristics in both the frequency domain dimension and the time domain dimension, thereby improving the characteristics of the signal, and further improving the communication performance of the communication device. Among them, the communication performance includes perception performance or communication measurement performance. For example: when the target signal corresponding to the above-mentioned target sequence is used for perception measurement, since the frequency domain dimension characteristics are associated with the ranging performance, and the time domain dimension characteristics are associated with the speed measurement performance, this can improve the ranging performance and speed measurement performance of the perception measurement.

[0067] In some embodiments, the first device maps the M×N elements in the target sequence to the transmission resource to obtain a target signal, which can also be called a two-dimensional signal in the time-frequency domain, and the target signal is mapped to the M×N elements of the above-mentioned transmission resource, so that the two-dimensional signal has good correlation characteristics along the time domain dimension and the frequency domain dimension. The good correlation characteristic refers to a higher autocorrelation peak, a lower autocorrelation sidelobe value, or a lower cross-correlation peak.

[0068] In some embodiments, the target sequence can be expressed as x=[x(0), x(1),…, x(N0-1)], and some or all of the elements in the target sequence are mapped to M×N time-frequency domain resources to obtain a target signal, which can also be called a two-dimensional signal, where M represents the number of time domain sampling points (e.g., the number of OFDM symbols), N represents the number of frequency domain sampling points (e.g., the number of subcarriers), and MN≤N0.

[0069] When MN=N0, all elements in the target sequence are mapped to M×N time-frequency domain resources;

[0070] When MN<N0, some elements in the target sequence are mapped to M×N time-frequency domain resources.

[0071] As an optional implementation manner, the N elements mapped on each time domain resource unit on the transmission resource include at least one of the following: an element intercepted from the target sequence, an element sampled from the target sequence; or,

[0072] The M elements mapped on each frequency domain resource unit on the transmission resource include at least one of the following: an element intercepted from the target sequence, an element sampled from the target sequence.

[0073] Among them, the N elements mapped on each time domain resource unit can be N continuous or non-continuous elements in the above target sequence, and the M elements mapped on each frequency domain resource unit can be M continuous or non-continuous elements in the above target sequence.

[0074] In this implementation, it can be achieved that after mapping, the sequence of length N corresponding to each time domain sampling point (for example, each OFDM symbol) is a subsequence of length N intercepted or sampled from the target sequence x; the sequence of length M corresponding to each frequency domain sampling point (for example, each carrier) is a subsequence of length M intercepted / or sampled from the target sequence x.

[0075] In this implementation, flexible mapping can be supported by interception or sampling to meet the needs of different scenarios or services, thereby improving the compatibility of signals.

[0076] As an optional implementation manner, the M time domain resource units in the transmission resource include at least one of the following: a continuous time domain resource unit, a non-continuous time domain resource unit; or,

[0077] The N frequency domain resource units in the transmission resources include at least one of the following: continuous frequency domain resource units and non-continuous frequency domain resource units.

[0078] In this embodiment, the Figure 4a and Figure 4b As shown, the M time domain resource units include continuous time domain resource units, and the N frequency domain resource units include continuous frequency domain resource units. That is, the M×N elements in the target sequence x are respectively mapped on continuous resources.

[0079] You can Figure 4c , Figure 4d and Figure 4e As shown, the M time domain resource units include non-contiguous time domain resource units, and the N frequency domain resource units include non-contiguous frequency domain resource units. That is, the M×N elements in the target sequence x are respectively mapped on non-contiguous resources.

[0080] In this implementation, continuous or non-continuous resource mapping is supported to meet the needs of different scenarios or services to improve signal compatibility. For example: for the frequency domain, it can be mapped to continuous subcarriers or non-continuous subcarriers; for the time domain, it can be mapped to continuous OFDM symbols or non-continuous OFDM symbols. Among them, for the relevant measurements of perception, the frequency domain density or the number of interval subcarriers of the non-continuous mapping, and the time domain density or the number of interval symbols are associated with the perception performance requirements.

[0081] As an optional implementation manner, the target sequence includes a sequence generated based on first information, and the first information includes at least one of the following:

[0082] Pseudo Random (PN) sequence, ZC sequence, Chirp signal, Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) signal, Gray sequence, Complementary Gray sequence, Complementary code, Frank code, P code, Barker code, Constant Amplitude Zero Auto-Corelation (CAZAC) sequence, Low Ambiguity Zone (LAZ) code, Zero Ambiguity Zone (ZAZ) code, JPL sequence, Walsh-Hadamard code.

[0083] The pseudo-random sequence includes but is not limited to:

[0084] Gold sequence, phase control (PC) sequence, shift register sequence (m and M sequence), GMW sequence, cascaded GMW sequence, Kasami sequence, Bent sequence, No sequence.

[0085] For example, the target sequence is a sequence obtained by modulating a PN sequence using Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK).

[0086] The above P code is a P code defined in the protocol, for example: P1 code, P2 code, P3 code or P4 code.

[0087] It should be noted that the method for generating the target sequence is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. The method for generating the target sequence may be a method for generating the target sequence that has been defined in the protocol, or a method for generating the target sequence that is newly defined in a subsequent protocol version.

[0088] Optionally, at least one of an initial value, a primitive polynomial, a cyclic shift value, a truncation position, a root sequence number, a frequency modulation slope, and a starting frequency of the first information is associated with the second information;

[0089] The second information includes at least one of the following:

[0090] Perception area identifier, identifier for whether it is used for perception, perception service identifier, perception service type identifier, perception target identifier, number of perception targets, perception measurement quantity identifier, device identifier involved in perception measurement, time domain resource information, frequency domain resource information, port index or antenna index, maximum number of ports, beam identifier, transmitting antenna panel index, codeword index, perception resource block index.

[0091] Among them, different beams can be associated with different sensing targets, and different panels can be associated with different beams.

[0092] At least one of the initial value, primitive polynomial, cyclic shift value, truncation position, root sequence number, frequency modulation slope, and starting frequency of the above-mentioned first information may be associated with the second information, and at least one of the initial value, primitive polynomial, cyclic shift value, truncation position, root sequence number, frequency modulation slope, and starting frequency of the first information may be determined based on the second information.

[0093] In this implementation, since at least one of the initial value, primitive polynomial, cyclic shift value, truncation position, root sequence number, frequency modulation slope, and starting frequency of the first information is associated with the above-mentioned second information, the generated target sequence can be associated with the above-mentioned second information, thereby realizing the characteristic of associating the above-mentioned second information in the above-mentioned signal, so as to enhance the correlation characteristics of the above-mentioned signal in the time domain and frequency domain dimensions.

[0094] Optionally, the time domain resource information includes at least one of the following:

[0095] Information on a radio frame index, a subframe index, a time slot index, a symbol index, a duration, a time domain density, a CP type, a CP length, and a time window, where the time window is a time window for calculating a measurement result; or,

[0096] The frequency domain resource information includes at least one of the following:

[0097] Resource element (RE) index, RB index, frequency information, frequency band information, bandwidth, frequency domain density, and subcarrier spacing.

[0098] Among them, the above-mentioned wireless frame index and subframe index can be the wireless frame index and subframe index defined by the communication system, or the relative wireless frame index and subframe index within the perceptual coherent processing time window / perceptual resource block; the above-mentioned time slot index can be the time slot index within the wireless frame, or the time slot index within the coherent processing time window / perceptual resource block; the above-mentioned symbol index can be the symbol index within the time slot, or the symbol index within the coherent processing time window / perceptual resource block.

[0099] In some embodiments, the information of the time window includes at least one of the following:

[0100] The index of the time window, the number of the time windows, and the index of the time domain resources occupied by the target signal in the time window, wherein the target signal is a signal corresponding to the target sequence.

[0101] The target signal includes M×N elements of the target sequence, specifically, M×N elements of the target sequence mapped on the transmission resource.

[0102] The time window may be a coherent processing time window, which may be a period for calculating the perception measurement result each time, for example, performing a two-dimensional Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) operation to obtain a time domain resource length corresponding to a range-Doppler map. The time window may include multiple time slots or symbols.

[0103] In the case where the first information includes a PN sequence, an initial value, a primitive polynomial, a cyclic shift value, a truncation position of the PN sequence and an association with an index of a time domain resource occupied by the signal within the time window.

[0104] In the case where the first information includes a ZC sequence, an association between a root sequence number or a cyclic shift value of the ZC sequence and information of the time window.

[0105] In the case where the first information includes a Chirp signal, the association between the frequency modulation slope or the starting frequency of the Chirp signal and the information of the time window.

[0106] In this implementation, the target sequence can be determined according to the index of the time window, the number of the time windows, or the index of the time domain resource occupied by the target signal in the time window, so that the target sequence is more matched with the time window.

[0107] For example, the time domain resource information corresponding to the target sequence may be the first time slot occupied by the target signal in the current time window or the index corresponding to the first symbol in the current window, or may be the time window index or the number of time windows.

[0108] Optionally, the time window is associated with at least one of the following:

[0109] Time domain starting position and time domain resource length.

[0110] In this implementation, since the time window is associated with at least one of the time domain starting position and the time domain resource length, the second device or the first device can improve the perception performance of the communication device by completing perception measurements or communication-related measurement results in the time window.

[0111] As an optional implementation, it is characterized in that the method further includes at least one of the following:

[0112] The first device sends configuration information of a target signal;

[0116] In this implementation, it can be applied to device A sending and device B receiving perception. Before device A sends the perception signal, it obtains the configuration information of the above signal, or notifies device B of the configuration information of the above signal.

[0117] In this implementation, it can also be applied to device A sending and device A receiving perception. Before device A sends the perception signal, it obtains the configuration information of the above signal and determines the signal configuration that needs to be sent.

[0118] The above signal resource identifier is used to distinguish different signal resource configurations;

[0119] The above may be OFDM, Single-carrier Frequency-Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA), Orthogonal Time Frequency Space (OTFS), Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) or pulse signal, etc.;

[0120] The above subcarrier spacing may be the subcarrier spacing of an OFDM system, for example, 30 KHz.

[0121] The guard interval can be the time interval from the moment when the signal ends to the moment when the latest echo signal of the signal is received. This parameter is proportional to the maximum sensing distance. For example, it can be calculated by c / (2R max ) is calculated, R max is the maximum sensing distance (belonging to the sensing demand information), such as for the self-transmitted and self-received sensing signal, R max Represents the maximum distance from the perceived signal transmission and reception point to the signal reflection point; in some cases, the OFDM signal cyclic prefix (CP) can play the role of the minimum protection interval, and c is the speed of light.

[0122] The above frequency domain starting position may be a starting frequency point or a starting RE or RB index.

[0123] The frequency domain resource length may be a frequency domain bandwidth, which is inversely proportional to the distance resolution. The frequency domain bandwidth of each signal is B≥c / (2ΔR), where c is the speed of light and ΔR is the distance resolution.

[0124] The frequency domain resource spacing is inversely proportional to the maximum unambiguous distance or the maximum unambiguous delay, wherein, for an OFDM system, when subcarriers are continuously mapped, the frequency domain spacing is equal to the subcarrier spacing.

[0125] The above-mentioned time domain starting position may be a starting time point, or a starting symbol, a time slot, or a frame index.

[0126] The time domain resource length may be a burst duration, and the time domain resource length is inversely proportional to the Doppler resolution (which belongs to the perception requirement information).

[0127] The time domain resource interval may be a time interval between two adjacent signals, and the time domain resource interval is associated with a maximum unambiguous Doppler frequency shift or a maximum unambiguous speed.

[0128] The signal power may be an interval power value, for example, a value is taken every 2dBm from -20dBm to 23dBm.

[0129] The above-mentioned signal direction may be angle information or beam information of signal transmission.

[0130] The above QCL relationship may indicate that the above signal includes multiple resources, each resource is associated with an SSB QCL, and the QCL includes type A, type B, type C or type D.

[0131] The antenna port information may be a maximum number of antenna ports or an antenna port index, wherein different antenna ports may be associated with a target sequence generation method.

[0132] Optionally, the sequence information includes at least one of the following:

[0133] The sequence type information of the target sequence, the sequence generation method of the target sequence, and the sequence length of the target sequence.

[0134] The above-mentioned sequence generation method can be to generate a target sequence based on the above-mentioned first information, and can also represent the second information associated with the above-mentioned first information, for example: the sequence initial value, cyclic shift value, original polynomial, truncation position of PN, the root sequence number, cyclic shift value of ZC sequence, the frequency modulation slope of Chirp signal, the starting frequency of Chirp signal and other associated second information.

[0135] In this implementation, since the sequence information is included, the first device can directly generate the target sequence based on the sequence information, and the second device can receive and process the target signal based on the sequence information.

[0136] As an optional implementation manner, before the first device sends the signal, the method further includes:

[0137] The first device obtains capability information of the second device, where the capability information includes at least one of the following:

[0138] Supported sequence types, supported bandwidth, supported maximum detection time, supported maximum number of ports, and perception-related capabilities.

[0139] The first device determines the sequence type adopted by the target sequence through the above sequence type, so that the generated signal is a signal corresponding to the sequence supported by the second device, thereby improving the communication performance between the first device and the second device.

[0140] The above-mentioned perception-related capabilities may be a perception service or a perception service type supported by the second device, a perception measurement quantity, a maximum number of detectable targets, etc.

[0141] As an optional implementation manner, the target signal corresponding to the target sequence is used for at least one of the following:

[0142] Perception-related measurements, communication-related measurements.

[0143] In this implementation, since the signal is used for perception-related measurements, the perception performance of the communication device can be improved, and since the signal is used for communication-related measurements, the communication measurement performance of the communication device can be improved.

[0144] As an optional implementation, the method further includes:

[0145] The first device sends a target signal corresponding to the target sequence.

[0146] As an optional implementation, the method further includes:

[0147] The first device sends target signals corresponding to multiple target sequences through multiple ports; or

[0148] The first device sends a plurality of target signals corresponding to the target sequences to a plurality of devices;

[0149] The multiplexing method of the plurality of target signals includes at least one of the following:

[0150] Time division multiplexing, frequency division multiplexing, and code division multiplexing.

[0151] The sending of the plurality of target signals through multiple ports may be sending the plurality of target signals to the same device or multiple devices through multiple ports.

[0152] In this implementation, since the above-mentioned multiple target signals can be sent using time division multiplexing, frequency division multiplexing, and code division multiplexing, this can improve the communication performance of the first device.

[0153] Optionally, when the multiplexing mode includes time division multiplexing or frequency division multiplexing:

[0154] A plurality of said target signals include the same element in said target sequence; or,

[0155] The plurality of target signals include different elements in the target sequence.

[0156] In this implementation, when time division multiplexing or frequency division multiplexing is supported, different target signals include the same or different elements, so that multiple target signals can be generated through one sequence, thereby reducing the power consumption of the first device.

[0157] For example: Taking 2-port frequency division multiplexing as an example, Figure 5a and Figure 5bAs shown, the white squares represent the time-frequency domain resources corresponding to port 0, and the gray squares represent the time-frequency domain resources corresponding to port 1.

[0158] Optionally, when the multiplexing mode includes code division multiplexing, the time-frequency domain resources occupied by the multiple target signals are the same, wherein:

[0159] The target sequences corresponding to the multiple target signals are different; or,

[0160] The target sequences corresponding to the multiple target signals are the same, and the orthogonal cover codes (Orthogonal Complementary Code, OCC) corresponding to the multiple target signals are different; or,

[0161] The target sequences corresponding to the multiple target signals are different, and the OCCs corresponding to the multiple target signals are different.

[0162] The above-mentioned different target sequences may be distinguished by the first information described in the above-mentioned implementation manner.

[0163] For example: If the target sequence is generated based on the PN sequence, different scrambling code initial values ​​(c init ) to distinguish; if the target sequence is generated based on a ZC sequence, it is distinguished by different cyclic shift values ​​or root sequence numbers; if the target sequence is generated based on a Chirp signal, it is distinguished by different frequency modulation slopes or starting frequencies.

[0164] Different OCCs corresponding to multiple target signals may refer to different OCCs used by ports corresponding to the multiple target signals, for example, a port of a target signal uses a first OCC, and a port of another target signal uses another OCC. Alternatively, different OCCs corresponding to multiple target signals may refer to multiple target signals being target sequences multiplied by different OCCs, wherein the target sequences of the multiple target signals are the same or different. For example, based on a target signal generated by a target sequence, the target signal is multiplied by different OCC sequences to obtain final two-dimensional signals of different ports. After the above target signal is generated based on the target sequence, different OCC sequences are multiplied for signals of different ports before being mapped to time-frequency domain resources to distinguish different signals.

[0165] In this implementation, the multiple target signals may be distinguished in a plurality of ways to meet different scenarios or business requirements.

[0166] Optionally, when the target sequences corresponding to multiple target signals are different: the second information corresponding to each target signal includes a port index of a corresponding port, wherein at least one of the initial value, primitive polynomial, cyclic shift value, truncation position, root sequence number, frequency modulation slope, and starting frequency of the first information is associated with the second information, and the target sequence includes a sequence generated based on the first information.

[0167] In this implementation, the target sequence corresponding to each signal can be determined based on the corresponding port index, so that the target sequence can be generated by the corresponding port index, so that the generated signal is more matched with the corresponding port, thereby improving the transmission reliability of the signal.

[0168] As an optional implementation manner, the value of N is associated with at least one of the following: the frequency domain resource length of the transmission resource, the frequency domain resource interval of the transmission resource; or,

[0169] The value of M is associated with at least one of the following: the time domain resource length of the transmission resource, and the time domain resource interval of the transmission resource.

[0170] The above-mentioned frequency domain resource length may be the bandwidth of the transmission resource or the number of RBs, and the above-mentioned time domain resource length of the transmission resource may be the coherent processing time length or the number of symbols of the transmission resource.

[0171] In addition, the above-mentioned frequency domain resource interval may also be referred to as frequency domain resource density, and the above-mentioned time domain resource interval may also be referred to as time domain resource density.

[0172] The above-mentioned association between the value of N and the frequency domain resource length of the transmission resource may be that the value of N is determined based on the frequency domain resource length of the transmission resource, for example: the value of N is equal to the frequency domain resource length.

[0173] The association between the value of N and the frequency domain resource interval of the transmission resource may be that the value of N is determined based on the frequency domain resource interval of the transmission resource.

[0174] The above-mentioned association between the value of M and the time domain resource length of the transmission resource may be that the value of M is determined based on the time domain resource length of the transmission resource, for example: the value of M is equal to the time domain resource length.

[0175] The association between the value of M and the time domain resource interval of the transmission resource may be that the value of M is determined based on the time domain resource interval of the transmission resource.

[0176] In this implementation, since the value of N or M is associated with the length or interval of the transmission resource, the target sequence can be well mapped to the transmission resource to improve the transmission performance of the signal.

[0177] As an optional implementation, the transmission resources of the target signal corresponding to the target sequence meet the perception performance requirements.

[0178] Among them, the above-mentioned perception performance requirements can be defined by the protocol or configured on the network side.

[0179] The transmission resources of the above target signal that meet the perception performance requirements may include:

[0180] The resource length or resource interval of the transmission resource of the above-mentioned target signal meets the perception performance requirements, wherein the resource interval can also be called resource density.

[0181] In this implementation manner, when the target signal is used for perception-related measurements, the transmission resource of the target signal meets the perception performance requirement to improve the perception performance of the communication device.

[0182] In some implementations, after the signal, it is mapped onto the transmission resource. In addition, the mapping onto the transmission resource may be continuous mapping or discontinuous mapping.

[0183] In some implementations, the resource length of the transmission resource of the target signal meets the perceptual resolution requirement; or,

[0184] The resource interval of the transmission resource of the target signal meets the perception measurement range requirement.

[0185] The resource length of the transmission resource of the target signal that meets the perception resolution requirement may include:

[0186] The time domain resource length of the target signal transmission resource meets the Doppler resolution requirement, or the time domain resource length of the target signal transmission resource meets the velocity resolution requirement; or,

[0187] The frequency domain resource length of the target signal transmission resource meets the delay resolution requirement, or the frequency domain resource length of the target signal transmission resource meets the distance resolution requirement.

[0188] The resource interval of the transmission resource of the target signal meeting the sensing measurement range requirement may include:

[0189] The time domain resource interval of the transmission resource of the target signal meets the Doppler unambiguous measurement requirement, or, the time domain resource interval of the transmission resource of the target signal meets the Doppler unambiguous measurement requirement; or,

[0190] The frequency domain resource interval of the transmission resources of the target signal meets the requirement of unambiguous measurement of delay, or the frequency domain resource interval of the transmission resources of the target signal meets the requirement of unambiguous measurement of distance resolution.

[0191] Take single-base radar perception as an example:

[0192] The time domain resource length satisfies T≥1 / Δf d Or T ≥ c / (2f c Δv), where Δf d is the Doppler resolution, Δv is the velocity resolution, and c is the speed of light;

[0193] The frequency domain resource length satisfies B≥1 / Δτ or B≥c / (2ΔR), where Δτ is the delay resolution and ΔR is the distance resolution;

[0194] If the speed direction is considered, the time domain resource interval satisfies ΔT≤1 / (2|f dmax |) or ΔT≤c / (4f c |v max |);

[0195] If the speed direction is not considered, the time domain resource interval satisfies ΔT≤1 / f dmax Or ΔT≤c / (2f c v max ), where f dmax is the maximum unambiguous Doppler, v max is the maximum unambiguous velocity, f c is the carrier frequency and c is the speed of light.

[0196] The frequency domain resource interval satisfies Δf1≤1 / τ max Or Δf1≤c / (2R max ), where τ max is the maximum unambiguous delay, v max is the maximum unambiguous speed.

[0197] In this implementation, since the resource length of the transmission resource of the target signal meets the perception resolution requirement, or the resource interval of the transmission resource of the target signal meets the perception measurement range requirement, this can improve the perception performance of the communication device. Since the signal is used for communication-related measurements, this can improve the communication measurement performance of the communication device.

[0198] In an embodiment of the present application, the first device acquires a target sequence, the number of elements of the target sequence is greater than or equal to M×N, M is an integer greater than 1, and N is an integer greater than 1; the first device maps the M×N elements in the target sequence to a transmission resource, the number of time domain resource units of the transmission resource is M, and the number of frequency domain resource units of the transmission resource is N. In this way, since the M×N elements in the target sequence are mapped to the transmission resource, and the number of time domain resource units of the transmission resource is M, and the number of frequency domain resource units of the transmission resource is N, the signal has relevant characteristics in both the frequency domain dimension and the time domain dimension, thereby improving the characteristics of the signal, and further improving the communication performance of the communication device.

[0229] The following uses the signal for related measurement of perception (that is, the above signal is a two-dimensional perception signal) to illustrate the method provided in the embodiment of the present application through multiple embodiments:

[0230] Embodiment 1:

[0231] In this embodiment, a target sequence generation method is provided. The target sequence may be a sequence generated according to the characteristics of the sensing service, as described in this embodiment.

[0232] If the target sequence is generated based on a PN sequence (for example, QPSK modulation is performed), the initial value of the PN sequence, or the primitive polynomial of the PN sequence, or the cyclic shift value of the PN sequence, or the truncation position of the PN sequence (that is, the target sequence may be generated by obtaining a sequence based on the system bandwidth, and then truncation thereof based on the actual bandwidth to obtain the target sequence) is associated with the second information;

[0233] If the target sequence is generated based on a ZC sequence, a root sequence number or a cyclic shift value of the ZC sequence is associated with the second information;

[0234] If the target sequence is generated based on a Chirp signal, the frequency modulation slope or the starting frequency of the Chirp signal is associated with the second information.

[0235] The second information includes at least one of the following:

[0236] Perception area identification;

[0237] Whether it is used for the identification of perception, or the identification of the perception service, or the identification of the type of perception service;

[0238] Perception target identification, perception target associated tag identification;

[0239] The number of perceived targets;

[0240] Perceptual measurement quantity identification;

[0241] An identifier of a device involved in the sensing measurement, such as a cell identifier or a terminal identifier (such as an RNTI);

[0242] Time domain resource information or frequency domain resource information, wherein the time domain resource information includes at least one of the following:

[0243] Information related to time domain resources (radio frame index, subframe index, slot index, symbol index, duration, time domain density, CP type, CP length, and also coherent processing time window index or number of coherent processing time windows).

[0244] Among them, the above-mentioned wireless frame index and subframe index can be the wireless frame index and subframe index defined by the communication system, or the relative wireless frame index and subframe index within the perceptual coherent processing time window / perceptual resource block; the above-mentioned time slot index can be the time slot index within the wireless frame, or the time slot index within the coherent processing time window / perceptual resource block; the above-mentioned symbol index can be the symbol index within the time slot, or the symbol index within the coherent processing time window / perceptual resource block.

[0245] For the target sequence, the time domain resource information may be the first time slot occupied by the perceived signal in the current coherent processing time window, the index corresponding to the first symbol, or the coherent processing time window index or the number of coherent processing time windows;

[0246] The above-mentioned coherent processing time window, i.e., the period of calculating the perception measurement result each time (for example, performing a two-dimensional FFT operation to obtain the time domain resource length corresponding to the range-Doppler map), may include multiple time slots / symbols;

[0247] The frequency domain resource information includes information related to the frequency domain resources, for example, including at least one of the following:

[0248] RE index, RB index, frequency point information, frequency band information, bandwidth, frequency domain density, and subcarrier spacing.

[0249] A sensing resource block index, where the sensing resource block includes multiple PRBs and multiple time slots / symbols, that is, includes specific time-frequency domain resources (for example, performing a two-dimensional FFT operation to obtain a frequency domain resource length and a time domain resource length corresponding to a range-Doppler map);

[0250] Port index or antenna index;

[0251] Maximum number of ports;

[0252] Codeword index.

[0253] In addition, in addition to the initial value of the PN sequence, the primitive polynomial, cyclic shift value, and truncation position corresponding to the PN sequence (that is, the generation of the target sequence can be based on the system bandwidth to obtain a sequence A, and then truncate it based on the actual bandwidth to obtain the target sequence) can also be associated with the above information.

[0254] The following is a further explanation of some of the above content:

[0255] The sensing area corresponding to the sensing area identifier is the target area to be sensed, which may be divided in advance, and specifically may include the following multiple methods:

[0256] Multiple base station coverage areas (cells) form a perception area, associated with a perception area identifier n areaID ,like Figure 7a As shown, each hexagonal area represents a base station coverage area, and areas with the same number represent the same perception area. In particular, the access network notification area (RAN-based notification area, RNA) can be used as a perception area, and the RNAID can be used as the perception area identifier.

[0257] A single base station coverage area (cell) contains multiple sensing areas, which are associated with multiple sensing area identifiers. For example, with the base station as the origin, its coverage area is rasterized and divided into multiple sensing areas, and each area is associated with an area ID denoted as n. areaID ,like Figure 7b ,The dotted line represents the base station coverage area, and each square represents the divided sensing area.

[0258] Alternatively, the area ID n may be generated by directly using a geographical area identifier such as longitude and latitude or coordinates that is not related to the base station location. areaID .

[0259] It can also be that different angle ranges relative to the base station are associated with different area IDn areaID For example, the azimuth angle x1°~x2° and the pitch angle y1°~y2° correspond to the sensing area ID1, where x and y are real numbers.

[0260] When multiple devices perform joint perception of the same perception area, multiple devices use a common area ID to generate perception signals.

[0261] Optionally, the generation parameters of the perception signal are independent of the cell identifier or the terminal identifier, that is, different sending devices can use the same perception signal generation parameters, which facilitates further construction of code-division orthogonal perception signals (for example, a first perception signal is generated based on the same generation parameters, and different devices use the same first perception signal and different OCC sequences to generate mutually orthogonal second perception signals for perception measurement). The receiving device can obtain the perception signal and perform measurements based on the same perception signal generation parameters and code-division orthogonal method, thereby reducing interference between signals of different devices, reducing signaling overhead, and improving measurement efficiency.

[0262] The initial value of the PN sequence is generated based on an identifier of whether it is used for perception, or a specific perception service identifier, or a perception service type identifier, including:

[0263] Based on whether it is used for perception, when it is not used for perception, n sensingID =0; when used for perception n sensingID =1.

[0264] Based on the specific perception service identifier, for example, different perception services correspond to different perception service IDn sensingID , wherein the sensing service may be, for example, the following:

[0265] Detect whether the target exists, positioning, speed detection, distance detection, angle detection, acceleration detection, material analysis, component analysis, shape detection, category classification, Radar Cross Section (RCS) detection, polarization scattering characteristic detection, fall detection, intrusion detection, quantity statistics, indoor positioning, gesture recognition, lip reading recognition, gait recognition, expression recognition, facial recognition, breathing monitoring, heart rate monitoring, pulse monitoring, humidity / brightness / temperature / atmospheric pressure monitoring, air quality monitoring, weather condition monitoring, environmental reconstruction, topography, building / vegetation distribution detection, pedestrian or vehicle flow detection, crowd density, vehicle density detection, etc.

[0266] It can also be the identification of the perception service type. Different categories correspond to different perception service IDn sensingID , for example, the perception functions or business types are divided according to the scope scale, such as:

[0267] Category 1 (close distance / small range): material analysis, component analysis, gesture recognition, lip reading recognition, gait recognition, expression recognition, facial recognition, breathing monitoring, heart rate monitoring, pulse monitoring, etc.

[0268] The second category (medium distance / medium range): intrusion detection, population counting, indoor positioning, etc.

[0269] The third category (long distance / large range): humidity / brightness / temperature / atmospheric pressure monitoring, air quality monitoring, weather condition monitoring, environmental reconstruction, topography, building / vegetation distribution detection, pedestrian or vehicle flow detection, etc.

[0270] Other classification standards can also be used, such as classification based on function into positioning perception, imaging perception, pattern recognition perception, etc.; it can also be classified according to power consumption / energy consumption, classification according to resource occupancy, etc.

[0271] The perception signal may also be generated according to the measurement quantity identifier, that is, at least one of the perception measurement quantities is associated with a measurement quantity identifier, for example, as shown in Table 2:

[0272] Table 2:

[0273]

[0275] The perceptual measurement includes at least one of the following:

[0276] The first-level measurement quantity (received signal / original channel information), including: received signal / channel response complex result, amplitude / phase, I-channel / Q-channel and operation results thereof (operations include addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, matrix addition, subtraction and multiplication, matrix transposition, trigonometric relationship operation, square root operation and power operation, as well as threshold detection results, maximum / minimum value extraction results, etc. of the above operation results; operations 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 operation, wavelet transform and digital filtering, as well as threshold detection results, maximum / minimum value extraction results, etc. of the above operation results);

[0277] The second level of measurement (basic measurement) includes: delay, Doppler, angle, intensity, and their multi-dimensional combination representation;

[0278] The third level of measurement (basic attributes / states) includes: distance, speed, direction, spatial position, and acceleration;

[0279] The fourth level of measurement (advanced attributes / states) includes: target presence, trajectory, movement, expression, vital signs, quantity, imaging results, weather, air quality, shape, material, and composition.

[0280] Generated based on the perception target identifier (or the tag identifier associated with the perception target), including:

[0281] The signal sending device obtains the identification of the sensing target. Different sensing targets correspond to different sensing target IDn. targetID , wherein the determination of the perceived target may be based on a priori information obtained from existing measurement results, for example, base station A sends a perceived measurement signal through an omni-directional beam for preliminary measurement, base station A obtains a distance-Doppler map (or a distance-angle map, etc.), determines the number of targets according to the distance-Doppler map, and assigns an ID to each target; or, base station A sends a perceived measurement signal through an omni-directional beam for preliminary measurement, a receiving device (such as another base station or terminal) obtains a distance-Doppler map (or a distance-angle map, etc.), determines the number of targets according to the distance-Doppler map, assigns an ID to each target, and then notifies the sending base station of the target ID and / or target-related information.

[0282] After the signal sending device determines the ID of each target, it generates signals for sensing different targets according to different target IDs, and these sensing signals are sent using different beams, with the beam direction pointing to the sensing target associated with the target ID;

[0283] The sensing target is equipped with a tag, and different tags are associated with different tag IDs. The sending device obtains the tag ID of the corresponding target, and then obtains the signal used to sense different targets. The tag can be a device that supports backscatter communication, and its excitation source can be a device other than the tag, or the excitation source is the tag itself. It can also be a terminal, that is, a common transceiver module is installed on the sensing target, such as a communication device such as a vehicle-mounted terminal installed on a car.

[0284] It can also be the identification of the type of perceived target. Different types correspond to different perceived target IDs. For example, they can be divided into stationary targets and moving targets. The latter can be further divided into high-speed targets and low-speed targets. Different types of targets correspond to different n targetID .

[0285] Specifically, the perception area is identified by n areaID For example, the initial value of the PN sequence can be:

[0286] cinit =n areaID , where n areaID Identify the sensing area; or

[0287] or, or, or

[0288] in, is the number of symbols in each time slot, is the time slot index in the radio frame, l is the symbol index in the time slot, and n areaID is the perception area identifier, x is a non-negative positive integer.

[0289] Among them, the coefficient parameter of the previous item in the initialization formula can be determined according to the variable value range and the value of the coefficient parameter of the following items. For example, there are 1000 perception area IDs in total, which need to be represented by 10-bit binary numbers. Then x=10 can be set to ensure that no repeated generation sequence occurs. Among them, A is a non-negative positive integer, and A=31 can be set.

[0290] or, in is the physical cell identifier, or or, Where x and y are non-negative positive integers; or,

[0291] c init =(2 x n RNTI +n areaID )mod2 A or c init =2 x n RNTI +n areaID , where n RNTI is the terminal identifier, where x and A are non-negative positive integers, and A=31.

[0292] or It can also be or Where x, y, and A are non-negative positive integers, and A=31.

[0293] or Where q is the codeword index, which can also be or Where x, y, z, and A are non-negative positive integers, and A=31.

[0294] Alternatively, taking the sensing area identifier and the sensing target identifier as an example, the initial value of the PN sequence may be: or

[0295] Alternatively, the perceptually coherent processing time window index n period and antenna port index n port For example, the initial value of the PN sequence can be:

[0296] c init =(2 x (n period +1)+n port )mod2 A or c init =2 x (n period +1)+n port or

[0297] It should be noted that the c corresponding to the target sequence init The generation method can be different.

[0298] or or or or in represents the number of time slots corresponding to each coherent processing time window, The time slot index within the coherent processing time window.

[0299] The target sequence may be generated by generating a PN sequence according to the following formula:

[0300] c(n)=(x1(n+N C )+x2(n+N C ))mod2

[0301] x1(n+31)=(x1(n+3)+x1(n))mod2

[0302] x2(n+31)=(x2(n+3)+x2(n+2)+x2(n+1)+x2(n))mod2

[0303] Where n = 0, 1, ..., M PN -1,M PN is the sequence length. N C= 1600, the initialization method of the first m sequence x1(n) is x1(0) = 1, x1(n) = 0, n = 1, 2, ..., 30; the initialization method of the second m sequence x2(n) is Furthermore, the PN sequence is modulated to obtain a target sequence, for example, QPSK modulation is performed: N0 is the target sequence length.

[0304] Or, according to the initial value c init Generate a pseudo-random sequence, and generate a sequence according to the pseudo-random sequence c(i) through π / 2-BPSK modulation Then according to the sequence Generate a basis sequence: Then generate the target sequence based on the base sequence: N0 is the target sequence length. Compared with the previous method, the target sequence generated by this method has a smaller peak to average power ratio (PAPR) and higher power amplifier efficiency, which is beneficial to improving the perceptual measurement coverage performance.

[0305] Embodiment 2:

[0306] In this embodiment, a two-dimensional perception signal is generated based on a ZC sequence.

[0307] In this embodiment, a two-dimensional perception signal is generated based on a ZC sequence. Compared with a perception signal generated based on a PN sequence, the perception signal generated in this manner has a smaller PAPR and higher power amplifier efficiency, which is beneficial to improving the perception measurement coverage performance. The root sequence number value or cyclic shift value of the ZC sequence is associated with the second information, and the specific content of the second information can refer to Embodiment 1.

[0308] The target sequence is generated as follows:

[0309] Determined by root sequence number q Then we get the base sequence in,

[0310] 0≤n<N0,N ZC is the largest prime number less than the sequence length N0. In addition, the perception signal can be obtained by cyclic shift:

[0311] Among them, the target sequence length N0 is related to the perception signal resource. For example, according to the perception signal bandwidth and the frequency domain resource interval, the number N of frequency domain resource units used to transmit the perception signal is determined, and according to the total duration of the perception signal and the time domain resource interval, the number M of time domain resource units used to transmit the perception signal is determined, and then the length of the target sequence N0=MN is determined.

[0312] Among them, the cyclic shift value α and the root sequence number q are associated with the first information, and the association method can be, for example, the perception area identifier is an 8-bit ID, then all or part of the 8 bits can be used to calculate the root sequence number q or the cyclic shift value α of the sequence, for example, the cyclic shift value α can be determined by the first 4 bits of the ID, and the root sequence number q is determined by the last 4 bits of the ID; for another example, the cyclic shift value α is determined according to the perception service identifier, and the root sequence number q is determined according to the perception area identifier. There may be a preset mapping relationship between different perception area identifiers and the root sequence number q, as shown in Table 3 below. The preset mapping relationship is agreed upon, or obtained by the second device through a signaling message.

[0313] Table 3:

[0314] Sensing Area ID Root serial number q ID1 X1 ID2 X2 … …

[0315] It can also be calculated according to a formula. Specifically, the root sequence number q can be calculated, for example:

[0316]

[0317]

[0318] Among them, u∈{0,1,...,29} is the group number, v is the base sequence number in the group, and taking the perception area identifier as an example, the value can be

[0319] u=(n areaID )mod30,v=0.

[0320] The calculation of the cyclic shift value may be, for example: is the maximum value among the region identifiers.

[0321] Embodiment three:

[0322] In this embodiment, a two-dimensional perception signal is generated based on a Chirp or FMCW signal.

[0323] In this embodiment, the perception signal is generated based on the Chirp or FMCW signal, wherein the frequency modulation slope of the Chirp or FMCW signal is associated with the third information. For the specific content of the third information, please refer to the first embodiment. FMCW sends a waveform whose frequency changes with time, usually linearly. A frequency modulation cycle of the FMCW waveform is generally also called a Chirp. Figure 8 shown.

[0324] Chirp signal can be expressed by the following formula:

[0325]

[0326] Where A0 is the amplitude, f c is the starting frequency, |k|=B / T is the frequency modulation slope, where B is the bandwidth, and T is the Chirp duration (i.e., the frequency modulation period of FMCW). For example, if the target sequence is generated based on the Chirp signal, the Chirp duration is equal to the OFDM symbol duration.

[0327] Among them, different frequency modulation slopes are associated with the second information. For example, different perception services have different requirements on bandwidth and Chirp duration, that is, different requirements on frequency modulation slopes. There may be a preset mapping relationship between different perception service IDs and different frequency modulation slopes. For example, for two-port signal transmission, the frequency modulation slopes of the Chirp signal used by port 0 and port 1 may be k0 and -k0, respectively, that is, they are opposite numbers of each other.

[0328] Different starting frequencies are associated with the second information, for example, there is a preset mapping relationship between different perception areas and starting frequencies.

[0329] Embodiment 4:

[0330] This embodiment mainly describes an example of a time-frequency domain mapping method.

[0331] As described in the previous embodiments, all elements in the target sequence may be mapped to time-frequency domain resources, or some elements in the target sequence may be mapped to time-frequency domain resources, and the mapping in the time-frequency domain may be continuous or discontinuous.

[0332] When MN=N0, all elements of the target sequence are mapped to continuous time-frequency domain resources, which may be performed by first performing frequency domain dimension mapping and then performing time domain dimension mapping, as shown in 4a and 4b.

[0333] Among them, B represents the perception measurement bandwidth, corresponding to N subcarriers, and T represents the coherent processing time window length, corresponding to M OFDM symbols. Optionally, it can also be mapped in an "S" shape, taking the frequency domain dimension as an example, that is, the first symbol is mapped from subcarrier 0 to subcarrier N-1, the second symbol is mapped from subcarrier N-1 to subcarrier 0, and so on.

[0334] When MN=N0, all elements of the target sequence can also be mapped to non-continuous time-frequency domain resources, such as Figure 4cAs shown. B represents the perception measurement bandwidth, corresponding to 2N subcarriers, of which the perception signal occupies N subcarriers, that is, the frequency domain resource interval of the perception signal is 1 subcarrier, T represents the coherent processing time window length (the time domain duration corresponding to the perception resource block), corresponding to 2M OFDM symbols, of which the perception signal occupies M symbols, that is, the time domain resource interval of the time domain perception signal is 1 OFDM symbol. It should be noted that this is an example, and the actual frequency domain resource interval / time domain resource interval is determined according to the perception signal overhead limit (perception signal resource and communication signal resource allocation), or, the perception performance requirements.

[0335] When MN<N0, some elements of the target sequence are mapped to time-frequency domain resources, which can be mapped to continuous time-frequency domain resources or non-continuous time-frequency domain resources, such as Figure 4d As shown, the frequency domain resources corresponding to the perception signal are continuous, and the time domain resources are discontinuous. M subsequences of length N are intercepted from the target sequence and mapped to different subcarriers of M symbols, where each intercepted subsequence in the target sequence is separated by N elements. It should be noted that this is an example and the specific interception method is not limited.

[0336] The subsequences intercepted from the target sequence can also be discontinuous, such as Figure 4e As shown, the frequency domain resources and time domain resources corresponding to the perception signal are non-continuous, and M subsequences of length N / 2 are intercepted from the target sequence and mapped to different subcarriers of M symbols, wherein each intercepted subsequence in the target sequence is separated by N elements, and each subsequence is sampled at equal intervals from the target sequence (sampled at intervals of one element). It should be noted that this is an example, and the specific interception and sampling methods are not limited.

[0337] When MN<N0, a target sequence with a length of N0 may be generated according to the system bandwidth and / or the total duration of the perception measurement (or other rules, such as the duration corresponding to X wireless frames), and then the target sequence is intercepted and / or sampled and mapped to the perception signal time-frequency domain resources according to the perception signal frequency domain resource information (bandwidth, number of frequency domain resources, frequency domain density), and / or the perception signal time domain resource information (coherent processing time window length, time domain density, period, time domain resource length). For the generation of the target sequence, the second information also includes at least one of the following:

[0338] The starting position of the frequency domain, for example, frequency domain A (PonitA);

[0339] The offset relative to the start position of the frequency domain;

[0340] A time domain starting position, for example, a starting time domain position of every K (K ≥ 1) radio frames;

[0341] The offset relative to the start position of the time domain;

[0342] Optionally, for the generation of the target sequence, the second information may not include a coherent processing time window index or a perception resource block index. In this case, the target sequence may correspond to multiple coherent processing time windows or perception resource blocks.

[0343] Embodiment five:

[0344] This embodiment mainly describes a multi-port design.

[0345] The design for multi-port or multi-user perception can be: time division multiplexing, frequency division multiplexing, or code division multiplexing.

[0346] For time division multiplexing or frequency division multiplexing, different ports may use the same sequence obtained according to the target sequence and map it to different time-frequency domain resources; or different ports may use different sequences obtained according to the target sequence and map them to different time-frequency domain resources. Taking 2-port frequency division multiplexing as an example, Figure 5a and Figure 5b As shown, the white squares represent the time-frequency domain resources corresponding to port 0, and the gray squares represent the time-frequency domain resources corresponding to port 1.

[0347] For code division multiplexing, the two-dimensional sensing signals corresponding to different ports / users occupy the same time-frequency domain resources. The specific implementation method can be:

[0348] Method 1: Different target sequences. If generated based on a PN sequence, the target sequences are distinguished by different scrambling code initial values ​​cinit; if generated based on a ZC sequence, the target sequences are distinguished by different cyclic shift values ​​and / or root sequence numbers; if generated based on a Chirp signal, the target sequences are distinguished by different frequency modulation slopes and / or starting frequencies. As described in the previous embodiment, the second information includes an antenna port index.

[0349] For example, the sensing signals corresponding to different ports use different target sequences, where the target sequence is a PN sequence and the initial value corresponding to the target sequence is

[0350] or

[0351] or

[0352] or

[0353]

[0354] Where x, y, z, and A are non-negative positive integers, so A = 31, n port is the port index, is the physical cell identifier, is the number of symbols in each time slot, is the time slot index in the radio frame, l is the symbol index in the time slot, and n period is the coherent processing time window index. It should be noted that the symbol index l and the time slot index It can be the symbol index and time slot index corresponding to a symbol in a certain perceptual coherent processing time window.

[0355] For another example, when a ZC sequence is used, the target sequences corresponding to different ports may use the same ZC base sequence. Then we get the base sequence The root sequence numbers q of different ports are the same. Further, the target sequences corresponding to different ports are obtained by cyclic shift: The calculation method of the cyclic shift value can be, for example: nport is the cyclic shift value associated with the port index.

[0356] In addition, when using the ZC sequence, the target sequences corresponding to different ports can also use different ZC base sequences, that is, the root sequence numbers corresponding to different ports are Different, among them Associated with the port index.

[0357] In addition, when the ZC sequence is used, the target sequences corresponding to different ports may use different ZC base sequences and different cyclic shift values, wherein the root sequence number and the cyclic shift value are associated with the port index.

[0358] Method 2: The target sequence is the same, and the OCC code is used to distinguish multiple ports.

[0359] Taking 2-port frequency domain OCC as an example, when time-frequency domain mapping is performed according to the target sequence, the frequency domain sequences corresponding to different symbols of port 0 are multiplied with [+1+1,…,+1,+1] and mapped to different subcarriers, and the frequency domain sequences corresponding to different symbols of port 1 are multiplied with [+1-1,…,+1,-1] and mapped to different subcarriers.

[0360] Time domain OCC may also be used, or time domain OCC and frequency domain OCC may be used simultaneously. The principles are similar and will not be described in detail herein.

[0361] Method 3: The target sequences are different, and OCC codes are used to distinguish multiple ports.

[0362] Specifically, ports using the same target sequence may correspond to the same port set, different ports in the same port set may be distinguished by OCC, and different port sets may use different target sequences.

[0363] Assuming that there are two targets to be sensed, two-port signals are used for perception. In the design of two-dimensional perception signals in the time-frequency domain, the target sequences corresponding to the two port signals are different (both use QPSK modulation PN sequences, but different cinit), and are mapped to the same time-frequency domain resources; CSI-RS uses OCC code to distinguish the two port signals. Figures 9a to 9d As shown, the measurement performance of the perception signal generated based on the PN sequence or ZC sequence is compared with the CSI-RS measurement performance of the current communication system, including delay, Doppler, angle measurement RMSE and positioning RMSE. It can be seen that the proposed scheme improves the perception performance compared with the original reference signal design.

[0364] In an embodiment of the present application, a target sequence can be generated based on information related to the perception service, and some or all of the elements therein can be mapped to M×N time-frequency domain resources to obtain a two-dimensional perception signal, where M represents the number of time domain sampling points (the number of OFDM symbols), N represents the number of frequency domain sampling points (the number of subcarriers), and MN≤N0.

[0365] In an embodiment of the present application, the perception performance can be improved. For example, based on the mapping of the target sequence to the time-frequency domain resources, the sequences along the time domain or frequency domain dimensions corresponding to the perception signals are all intercepted from specially designed sequences, or the subsequences obtained by sampling, which can make the perception signals in the time domain dimension and the frequency domain dimension have good correlation characteristics, thereby improving the perception measurement performance.

[0366] In addition, in multi-port / multi-user scenarios, time division multiplexing, frequency division multiplexing, and code division multiplexing can be performed through sequence design to reduce signal interference between different ports or users, improve perception performance, and further increase the maximum number of supported ports.

[0367] It is also possible to generate the target sequence only once for each perceptual coherent processing time window (or multiple coherent processing time windows), which can reduce the amount of computation for sequence generation, such as eliminating the need to generate a sequence for each symbol independently.

[0368] The signal mapping method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be executed by a signal mapping device.
