[0147] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the communication sensing technology involves sensing nodes and sensing targets in its main scenarios. A sensing target may be an object to be sensed, such as a vehicle, building, drone, rainfall, or the like. A sensing node may be a node that needs to sense the sensing target by transmitting and / or receiving a first signal. For example, it may be a base station, user equipment, or vehicle-mounted equipment. The sensing node wants to sense information such as the sensing target's position relative to itself, including, for example, distance, angle, and speed.

[0148] The first signal may also be referred to as a perception signal.

[0149] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the sensing modes for sensing the sensing target may include the following six modes. In different modes, the corresponding sensing nodes are also different.

[0150] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the sensing nodes are between access network devices, including sensing mode 1 and sensing mode 2.

[0151] Among them, sensing mode 1 is that the access network device performs self-transmission and self-reception. For example, the gNB sends a first signal (sensing signal), the first signal is reflected after reaching the sensing target, and the gNB also receives the reflected first signal.

[0152] Sensing Mode 2 involves transmitting a first signal between different access network devices. For example, gNB A transmits a first signal, and gNB B receives the first signal. For example, gNB A transmits a first signal, which is reflected by the sensing target and then received by gNB B.

[0153] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the sensing nodes are between terminals, including sensing mode 3 and sensing mode 4.

[0154] Among them, perception mode 3 is that the terminal performs self-transmission and self-reception. For example, the UE sends a first signal, the first signal is reflected after reaching the perception target, and the UE also receives the reflected first signal.

[0155] Sensing mode 4 is the transmission of a first signal between different terminals, for example, UE A sends a first signal and UE B receives the first signal. For example, UE A sends the first signal, the first signal is reflected after reaching the sensing target, and then UE B receives the reflected first signal.

[0156] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the perception node is between the access network device and the terminal, including perception mode 5 and perception mode 6.

[0157] Sensing Mode 5 involves the UE sending a first signal and the gNB receiving the first signal. For example, the UE sends a first signal, which is reflected after reaching the sensing target, and then the gNB receives the reflected first signal.

[0158] Sensing Mode 6: The gNB sends a first signal, and the UE receives the first signal. For example, the gNB sends the first signal, and the UE receives the first signal. For example, the gNB sends the first signal, the first signal is reflected after reaching the sensing target, and the UE then receives the reflected first signal.

[0159] It is understood that in various embodiments of the present disclosure, the sensing node used to send the first signal may be referred to as a first node, a sensing sending node, a first signal sending node, etc. In various embodiments of the present disclosure, the sensing node used to receive the first signal may be referred to as a second node, a sensing receiving node, a first signal receiving node, etc. The present disclosure does not limit the names of the above nodes.

[0160] However, in the above-mentioned different sensing modes, there is currently no consensus on how to adjust the power when the sensing node sends and / or receives the first signal.

For another example, the first network element may also directly send the third information to the terminal 101 through the interface or protocol between the first network element and the terminal.

[0174] It is understandable that in the various embodiments of the present disclosure, the “interface” and “protocol” involved can be used interchangeably and equivalently, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0175] In some embodiments, the first device is the terminal 101, and the network device may be the access network device 102.

For example, the first network element may be a perception function entity. In each embodiment of the present disclosure, the core network device may include a perception function entity.

[0179] In some embodiments, the first device and the network device are different access network devices.

[0191] In some embodiments, the third information may include a parameter for indicating the transmission power, where the parameter directly indicates the first power.

[0192] In some embodiments, the third information may include a path loss reference signal (RS), which may also be referred to as a path loss reference signal, etc., and the present disclosure does not limit the name of the reference signal.

[0193] For example, the pathloss RS is indicated by the third information, so that the first device receives and measures the pathloss RS according to the pathloss RS indicated by the third information, and determines the transmit power of the first signal sent by the first device based on the reference signal receiving power (RSRP) obtained by measuring the pathloss RS by the first device.

[0194] In some embodiments, the third information may include RSRP measured when the second device receives the first signal.

[0195] For example, the third information may include the RSRP measured when the second device last received the first signal. The first device determines the transmit power of the first signal transmitted by the first device this time based on the RSRP measured when the second device last received the first signal.

[0196] In some embodiments, the third information may include at least one of the following: the first power; a path loss reference signal; and an RSRP measured when the second device receives the first signal.

[0229] In some embodiments, terminal 101 may be in an RRC idle state.

[0230] In some embodiments, only one of steps S2101 and S2102 may be performed. For example, when the second device and the network device are the same device. Alternatively, the first device determines to receive the third information from either the second device or the network device based on a default rule or protocol.

[0231] In some embodiments, steps S2101 and S2102 may be performed simultaneously. The first device may receive third information sent by different devices. In this case, the first device may determine the priority of different devices based on default rules or protocol rules. For example, the first device may use the third information sent by the device with the higher priority. Of course, the specific priority rules and the level of priority may be adaptively adjusted according to actual circumstances, and this disclosure does not limit them.

[0235] In some embodiments, the second device receives the second information sent by the network device. For example, the first device sends the second information to the network device, and the network device forwards the second information to the second device. Alternatively, the network device determines the second information and sends it to the first device and the second device.

[0236] For example, a first device sends second information to a network device, which then directly forwards it to a second device upon receiving the second information. In another example, a first device sends second information to a network device, which may store the second information at the network device. The stored second information is then sent to the second device when the second device needs it. The network device may proactively send the stored second information to the second device at a certain point in time, or the second device may request the second information from the network device, which then sends the stored second information to the second device based on the request.

Optionally, in the case where the first device and the second device are different access network devices, the second information may be notified to the second device through the interface between different access network devices, or the interface between the core network device and the access network device.

[0254] In some embodiments, the first device may determine or judge whether the first device and the second device are different access network devices.

[0255] In some embodiments, the first device can determine the second information based on its own device conditions and send the second information to the access network device. The second information can be stored on the access network device; or forwarded to the core network device via the access network device and stored in the core network device. This allows the access network device to send the second information to the second device at an appropriate time; or the first network element sends the second information to the access network device at an appropriate time and forwards the second information to the second device via the access network device. Or the core network device sends the second information directly, where the core network device includes a perception function entity. The first network element can be a core network device, or the first network element is a network element used to implement the perception function.

[0256] In some embodiments, the first device is a terminal, and sending the second information to the network device may be uplink communication.

[0257] In some embodiments, the terms "uplink", "uplink", "physical uplink", etc. can be used interchangeably.

[0258] In some embodiments, the terms "physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH)", "UL data", etc. can be used interchangeably.

[0259] It can be understood that the second information is mainly used to indicate the sending time of the first signal.

[0260] In some embodiments, terms such as "moment", "time point", "time", and "time position" can be replaced with each other, and terms such as "duration", "period", "time window", "window", and "time" can be replaced with each other.

[0261] In some embodiments, step S2103 is an optional step, and the first device may perform step S2103 or may not perform step S2103.

[0262] Step S2104: The first device sends a first signal to the second device at a first power.

[0263] In some embodiments, the first device may determine the first power according to the received third information, and may send the first signal to the second device according to the first power.

[0264] In some embodiments, the first device may receive third information sent by the second device and determine the first power.

[0265] For example, the first device receives third information sent by the second device through a side link, wherein the first device and the second device are different terminals.

[0266] In some embodiments, the first device may receive third information sent by the access network device to determine the first power. The third information is generated by the access network device.

[0267] In some embodiments, the first device may receive third information sent by the first network element to determine the first power. The third information is generated by the first network element, and the access network device forwards the third information sent by the first network element to the first device, and the first device receives the third information forwarded by the access network device. Alternatively, the first network element directly sends the third information to the first device. The first network element may be a core network device, or the first network element is a network element used to implement a perception function. The core network device here includes a perception function entity.

[0268] For example, the first device receives third information sent by the perception function entity.

[0269] Of course, in the various embodiments of the present disclosure, when the first device is a terminal, the first network element can send information to the access network device, which then forwards the information to the terminal. The first network element can also directly send information to the terminal via the interface or protocol between the first network element and the terminal, which is not limited in this disclosure. It is understood that in the various embodiments of the present disclosure, the first network element can be a core network device, or the first network element can be a network element for implementing a perception function. For example, the first network element is a perception function entity. The core network device can include a perception function entity.

[0270] In some embodiments, the first device may determine the transmit power used when the first signal was last transmitted. For example, the first device may record the transmit power used when the first signal was last transmitted. The first device may use the transmit power used when the first signal was last transmitted as the first power. The first device may then transmit the first signal to the second device at the first power.

[0271] In some embodiments, the first device may determine the first power based on a third rule.

[0272] For example, the first power is a default value in the third rule.

[0273] In some embodiments, the third rule may be called a third preset rule, a third specific rule, a third designated rule, etc. The present disclosure does not limit the name of the third rule.

[0274] In some embodiments, the third rule may be predefined.

[0275] In some embodiments, the first device may determine the first power in at least one of the following ways: determining the first power based on third information; determining the first power based on a third rule.

[0276] In some embodiments, the first device may obtain the third information by at least one of the following methods: receiving the third information sent by an access network device; receiving the third information sent by a first network element; or receiving the third information sent by a second device. The third information sent by the first network element may be forwarded by the access network device or sent directly to the first device. The first network element may be a core network device, or the first network element may be a network element that implements a perception function, where the core network device includes a perception function entity.

[0277] In some embodiments, the first signal sent by the first device may be used to sense a sensing target, wherein the sensing target may be considered as a target that needs to be sensed.

[0278] For example, the sensing target may be a building, a moving object, the external environment, etc. The external environment may include temperature, humidity, whether it is raining, etc.

[0279] It is understood that after a first signal is transmitted by a first device and reaches a sensing target, the first signal may be reflected by the sensing target, allowing a second device to receive the reflected first signal. The second device may then use the reflected first signal to perform measurements to achieve sensing of the sensing target, such as positioning.

[0280] In some embodiments, the name of the first signal is not limited, and it can be, for example, "perception information", "first signal", "sensory information", "sensory signal", etc.

[0281] In some embodiments, the first signal may be a positioning reference signal (PRS).

[0282] For example, the first signal may be a PRS sent and / or received between the terminal and the access network device.

[0283] For another example, the first signal may be a PRS sent and / or received between different access network devices.

[0284] In some embodiments, the first signal may be a sidelink positioning reference signal (SL-PRS).

[0285] For example, the first signal may be an SL-PRS transmitted and / or received between different terminals.

[0286] In some embodiments, the first signal may be a sounding reference signal (SRS).

[0287] For example, the first signal may be an SRS sent and / or received between the terminal and the access network device.

[0288] For another example, the first signal may be an SRS sent and / or received between different access network devices.

[0289] In some embodiments, the first signal may be a SL-SRS.

[0290] For example, the first signal may be an SL-SRS sent and / or received between different terminals.

[0291] In some embodiments, the first signal may be a reference signal used for sensing.

[0292] For example, a reference signal used for sensing may be referred to as a sensing reference signal. It is understood that the sensing reference signal may be a newly defined reference signal used for sensing. The present disclosure does not limit the name of such reference signal.

[0293] In some embodiments, the first signal may include at least one of the following signals: PRS; SRS; SL-PRS; SL-SRS; and a perception reference signal.

[0294] In some embodiments, the name of the first power is not limited, and it can be, for example, "initial transmit power", "original transmit power", "transmit power", "first transmit power", etc.

[0295] In some embodiments, the first device sends a sensing signal to the second device at a first power.

[0296] In some embodiments, the second device receives a sensing signal sent by the first device to the second device at a first power.

[0297] In some embodiments, the second device receives the sensing signal after being reflected by the sensing target.

[0298] Step S2105: The second device sends the first information to the first device.

[0299] In some embodiments, the second device sends the first information to the first device.

[0300] In some embodiments, the first device receives the first information sent by the second device.

[0301] In some embodiments, the first information is used to determine a second power. The second power may be a power adjusted from the first power.

[0302] In some embodiments, the name of the first information is not limited, and it can be, for example, "indication information", "power indication information", "power adjustment indication", "power update information", etc.

[0303] In some embodiments, the second device receives the second information, and the second device can know the time domain location at which the first device sent the first signal based on the second information. The second information received by the second device can be sent by the first device or by a network device. The network device includes an access network device or a first network element. The first network element is a core network device, or the first network element can be a network element that implements a perception function. The core network device here includes a perception function entity. In other words, the second device can know when the first device sent the first signal based on the second information. The second device can send the first information to the first device at any time after the first device sends the first signal.

[0304] In some embodiments, if the second device can normally receive the first signal, the first information may be sent after the second device receives the first signal. Of course, since the propagation time of the first signal is generally very short, the situation where the second device sends the first information before receiving the first signal can be ignored.

[0305] In some embodiments, if the second device knows the time domain location at which the first device sends the first signal and the second device accurately receives the first signal, the second device may send first information to the first device, so that the first device adjusts the first power based on the first information.

[0306] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the first power can be adjusted according to a preset rule.

[0307] In some embodiments, if the second device knows the time domain location at which the first device sent the first signal, but the second device did not accurately receive the first signal, the second device may send first information to the first device, so that the first device adjusts the first power based on the first information.

[0308] It will be understood that in this embodiment, since the second device cannot accurately receive the first signal, the second device may determine that the first device sent the first signal but was not accurately received due to low power. Therefore, the second device may determine to adjust the first power so that the second device can accurately receive the first signal. In this embodiment, the second power determined by the first information may be configured to take into account the second device's inability to accurately receive the first signal.

[0309] In some embodiments, the second device knows the time domain location at which the first device sends the first signal. The second device measures the first signal and obtains the signal strength of the first signal. If the signal strength of the first signal is less than a first threshold, the second device may send first information to the first device, so that the first device can adjust the first power based on the first information. Optionally, in a case where the signal strength of the first signal is less than the first threshold, the second device may send the first information to the first device, so that the first device can adjust the first power based on the first information. Optionally, in response to the signal strength of the first signal being less than the first threshold, the second device may send the first information to the first device, so that the first device can adjust the first power based on the first information. Optionally, when the signal strength of the first signal is less than the first threshold, the second device may send the first information to the first device, so that the first device can adjust the first power based on the first information.

[0310] In some embodiments, the content indicated by the first information sent by the second device in different situations may be different. For example, when the signal strength of the first signal is less than the first threshold, the first information sent by the second device may indicate that the first value is increased to the first power, so that the first device sends the first signal based on the second power after adjusting the power, which can make the second device more likely to receive it. The first value may be a positive value. For another example, when the signal strength of the first signal is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the first information sent by the second device may indicate that the first value is increased to the first power to ensure that the second device can receive the first signal more accurately without generating more power consumption. The first value increased to the first power when the signal strength of the first signal is greater than or equal to the first threshold is different from the first value increased to the first power when the signal strength of the first signal is less than the first threshold.

[0311] For example, the different first values ​​may all be positive values. For example, the first value added to the first power when the signal strength of the first signal is greater than or equal to the first threshold is less than the first value added to the first power when the signal strength of the first signal is less than the first threshold. Alternatively, the first value added to the first power when the signal strength of the first signal is greater than or equal to the first threshold is greater than the first value added to the first power when the signal strength of the first signal is less than the first threshold.

[0312] For another example, different first values ​​may be both positive and negative. For example, when the signal strength of the first signal is greater than or equal to a first threshold, the first value added to the first power may be a negative value, and when the signal strength of the first signal is less than the first threshold, the first value added to the first power may be a positive value.

[0313] In some embodiments, the first information may also include the RSRP value of the first signal measured by the second device; or, the first information includes a second power value of the first signal sent by the first device next time; or, the first information indicates that the first power remains unchanged.

[0314] In some embodiments, it is of course not ruled out that the first information sent by the second device under different circumstances indicates the same content.

[0315] In some embodiments, the first threshold may be a signal strength threshold, which may also be referred to as a "first strength threshold," "strength threshold," etc., and the present disclosure does not limit the name of the first threshold.

[0316] In some embodiments, the second device may determine or judge whether the signal strength of the first signal is less than a first threshold.

[0317] It will be understood that in this embodiment, because the signal strength of the first signal measured by the second device is low and does not reach the first threshold, the second device can determine that the first device sent the first signal, but it was not accurately received due to the low power. Therefore, the second device can determine to adjust the first power so that the second device can measure the first signal with higher signal strength. In this embodiment, the second power determined by the first information can be configured considering the low signal strength of the first signal measured by the second device.

[0318] In some embodiments, the second device knows the time domain location at which the first device sends the first signal. The second device measures the first signal and obtains the signal quality of the first signal. If the signal quality of the first signal is less than the second threshold, the second device may send the first information to the first device, so that the first device can adjust the first power based on the first information. Optionally, in the case where the signal quality of the first signal is less than the second threshold, the second device may send the first information to the first device, so that the first device can adjust the first power based on the first information. Optionally, in response to the signal quality of the first signal being less than the second threshold, the second device may send the first information to the first device, so that the first device can adjust the first power based on the first information. Optionally, when the signal quality of the first signal is less than the second threshold, the second device may send the first information to the first device, so that the first device can adjust the first power based on the first information.

[0319] In some embodiments, the second threshold may be a signal quality threshold, which may also be referred to as a "quality threshold," etc. This disclosure does not limit the name of the second threshold.

[0320] In some embodiments, the second device may determine or judge whether the signal quality of the first signal is less than a second threshold.

[0321] It will be appreciated that in this embodiment, because the signal quality of the first signal measured by the second device is low and does not meet the second threshold, the second device may determine that the first device sent the first signal but was not accurately received due to low power. Therefore, the second device may determine to adjust the first power so that the second device can measure the first signal with higher signal quality. In this embodiment, the second power determined by the first information may be configured in consideration of the low signal quality of the first signal measured by the second device.

[0322] In some embodiments, the second device does not receive the second information. This means that the second device does not know when the first device sends the first signal. Therefore, the second device sends the first information to the first device only when it receives the first signal.

[0323] In some embodiments, if the second device is unaware of the time domain location at which the first device sent the first signal, and the second device accurately receives the first signal, the second device may send first information to the first device, so that the first device adjusts the first power based on the first information.

[0324] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the first power can be adjusted according to a preset rule.

[0325] In some embodiments, the second device is unaware of the time domain location at which the first device sends the first signal, which may be because the second device does not receive the second information.

[0326] In some embodiments, the second device is unaware of the time domain location of the first signal sent by the first device. The second device may receive the second information, but the second information does not configure or indicate the time domain location of the first signal.

[0327] In some embodiments, the second device is unaware of the time domain location at which the first device sends the first signal. The second device measures the first signal and obtains the signal strength of the first signal. If the signal strength of the first signal is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the second device may send first information to the first device, so that the first device can adjust the first power based on the first information. Optionally, in the case where the signal strength of the first signal is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the second device may send the first information to the first device, so that the first device can adjust the first power based on the first information. Optionally, in response to the signal strength of the first signal being greater than or equal to the first threshold, the second device may send the first information to the first device, so that the first device can adjust the first power based on the first information. Optionally, when the signal strength of the first signal is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the second device may send the first information to the first device, so that the first device can adjust the first power based on the first information.

[0328] In some embodiments, the second device may determine or judge whether the signal strength of the first signal is greater than or equal to a first threshold.

[0329] In some embodiments, the second device is unaware of the time domain location at which the first device sends the first signal. The second device measures the first signal to obtain the signal quality of the first signal. If the signal quality of the first signal is greater than or equal to the second threshold, the second device may send the first information to the first device, so that the first device can adjust the first power based on the first information. Optionally, if the signal quality of the first signal is greater than or equal to the second threshold, the second device may send the first information to the first device, so that the first device can adjust the first power based on the first information. Optionally, in response to the signal quality of the first signal being greater than or equal to the second threshold, the second device may send the first information to the first device, so that the first device can adjust the first power based on the first information. Optionally, when the signal quality of the first signal is greater than or equal to the second threshold, the second device may send the first information to the first device, so that the first device can adjust the first power based on the first information.

[0330] In some embodiments, the second device may determine or judge whether the signal quality of the first signal is greater than or equal to a second threshold.

[0331] In some embodiments, if the second device determines that it can correctly measure the first signal, the second device may send the first information to the first device, so that the first device can adjust the first power based on the first information. Optionally, if the second device determines that it can correctly measure the first signal, the second device may send the first information to the first device, so that the first device can adjust the first power based on the first information. Optionally, in response to the second device determining that it can correctly measure the first signal, the second device may send the first information to the first device, so that the first device can adjust the first power based on the first information. Optionally, when the second device determines that it can correctly measure the first signal, the second device may send the first information to the first device, so that the first device can adjust the first power based on the first information.

[0332] The second device may determine that the first signal can be correctly measured by determining that the RSRP of the measured first signal is greater than an RSRP threshold, or by determining that the reference signal received quality (RSRQ) of the measured first signal is greater than an RSRQ threshold, or by determining that the signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) of the measured first signal is greater than an SINR threshold. Otherwise, it can be considered that the first signal cannot be correctly measured.

[0333] In some embodiments, if the second device is unaware of the time domain location at which the first device transmitted the first signal, the second device may transmit first information to the first device, so that the first device can adjust the first power based on the first information, if at least one of the following conditions is met. The conditions may include: the second device accurately receives the first signal; the second device determines that it can correctly measure the first signal; the signal strength of the first signal is greater than or equal to a first threshold; or the signal quality of the first signal is greater than or equal to a second threshold.

[0334] In some embodiments, the second device may determine whether the first signal is accurately measured, so as to send the first information determined based on the measurement situation when the time domain location at which the first device sends the first signal is known; or send the first information when the first signal is accurately measured when the time domain location at which the first device sends the first signal is unknown.

[0335] In some embodiments, the inability to accurately measure the first signal may be at least one of the following situations: the RSRP of the first signal is less than the RSRP threshold; the RSRQ of the first signal is less than the RSRQ threshold; the SINR of the first signal is less than the SINR threshold.

[0336] In some embodiments, the second device may determine or judge whether the signal quality of the first signal is greater than or equal to a signal quality threshold.

[0337] In some embodiments, the second device can measure the first signal and obtain a corresponding parameter. It is understood that the parameter is a parameter obtained by measuring the first signal. It can be called a measurement parameter, etc., and this disclosure does not limit the name of such parameters.

[0338] In some embodiments, the measured parameter may include RSRP of the first signal.

[0339] In some embodiments, the measured parameter may include a reference signal receiving power per path or a reference signal receiving power of the ith path (RSRPP) of the first signal, where i is a positive integer.

[0340] In some embodiments, the measured parameter may include an RSRQ of the first signal.

[0341] In some embodiments, the measured parameter may include a SINR of the first signal.

[0342] In some embodiments, the measured parameter may include an angle of arrival of the first signal.

[0343] In some embodiments, the measured parameter may include a departure angle of the first signal.

[0344] In some embodiments, the measured parameter may include an arrival time of the first signal.

[0345] In some embodiments, the measured parameter may include a time difference of arrival of the first signal.

[0346] The arrival time difference can be the difference between the arrival time of the first signal at the second device and a preset reference time. For example, the time when the first signal arrives at the second device is time A, and the reference time can be time X. The arrival time difference can then be the difference between time A and time X. Alternatively, the arrival time difference can be the difference between the arrival times of first signals sent by different first devices at the second device. For example, the time when first signal 1 arrives at the second device is time C, and the time when first signal 2 arrives at the second device is time D. The arrival time difference can then be the difference between time C and time D.

[0347] In some embodiments, the measured parameter may include a time difference between receiving and sending the first signal.

[0348] In some embodiments, the measured parameter may include a distance between the sensing target and the first device.

[0349] In some embodiments, the measured parameter may include a distance between the sensing target and the second device.

[0350] In some embodiments, the measured parameter may include a moving speed of the perceived target.

[0351] In some embodiments, the measured parameter may include a Doppler frequency shift of the first signal.

[0352] In some embodiments, the measured parameters may include at least one of the following: RSRP of the first signal; RSRQ of the first signal; SINR of the first signal; angle of arrival of the first signal; angle of departure of the first signal; time of arrival of the first signal; time difference of arrival of the first signal; time difference of receiving and sending of the first signal; distance between the perceived target and the first device; distance between the perceived target and the second device; moving speed of the perceived target; Doppler frequency deviation of the first signal.

[0353] In some embodiments, the at least one parameter obtained by measuring the first signal by the second device can be reported to other devices. For example, it can be reported to at least one of the terminal, the access network device and the first network element. Of course, in the case where the second device and the other device are both terminals, the second device can send the at least one parameter obtained by measuring the first signal to the other device. Although "reporting" can usually be understood as uplink sending, in this disclosure, "reporting" can be used interchangeably with "sending". "Reporting" can also be considered to include the sending of SL, which is not limited in this disclosure.

[0354] For example, the second device is terminal 101. The second device can report the at least one parameter obtained by measuring the first signal to at least one of another terminal, an access network device, and the first network element. The other terminal can be the first device or another terminal different from the first device and the second device.

[0355] For another example, if the second device is access network device 102, the second device may transmit the at least one parameter obtained by measuring the first signal to at least one of another access network device and the first network element. The other access network device may be the first device, or another access network device different from the first device and the second device.

[0356] In some embodiments, the second device and the first device are different terminals, and the second device can send the first information through an interface between different terminals.

[0357] For example, the second device sends the first information to the first device through the RRC of the SL.

[0358] For example, the second device sends the first information to the first device through the MAC CE of the SL.

[0359] For example, the second device sends the first information to the first device through the DCI of the SL.

[0360] For example, the second device sends the first information to the first device through the PSSCH of the SL.

[0361] For example, the second device sends the first information to the first device through the PSCCH of the SL.

[0362] In some embodiments, the second device and the first device are different terminals. The second device can send the first information to the access network device and forward the first information to the first device through the access network device.

[0363] In some embodiments, the second device and the first device are different access network devices, and the second device can send the first information through an interface between different access networks.

[0364] Step S2106: The first device adjusts the first power to obtain a second power.

[0365] In some embodiments, the first device may adjust the first power. For example, if the first value is a positive value, the first value is added to the first power to obtain the second power.

[0366] In some embodiments, the first device may adjust the first power. For example, if the first value is a negative value, the absolute value of the first value is reduced from the first power to obtain the second power.

[0367] In some embodiments, the first device is the access network device 102 .

[0368] In some embodiments, the first device is terminal 101.

[0369] In some embodiments, the first value is used to represent an amount of increase to the first power. In this case, the first value is a positive value.

[0370] In some embodiments, the first value is used to represent an amount of reduction in the first power. In this case, the first value is a negative value.

[0371] For example, it can be called a designated number, a specific number, a reference number, a designated value, a specific value, a reference value, delta, or expressed as △, δ, delta, etc. The present disclosure does not limit the name and symbol identification of the first value.

[0372] In some embodiments, the first value may be configured by the access network device.

[0373] In some embodiments, the first value may be configured by the first network element device.

[0374] For example, the first network element may be a core network device, and the first network element is a network element used to implement the perception function.

[0375] In some embodiments, the first value may be determined based on a second rule.

[0376] For example, the first value is a default value set in the second rule.

[0377] In some embodiments, the second rule may be referred to as a second preset rule, a second specific rule, a second designated rule, etc. The present disclosure does not limit the name of the second rule.

[0378] In some embodiments, the second rule may be predefined.

[0379] In some embodiments, the first value may be determined based on the first parameter and a rule associated with the first parameter.

[0380] In some embodiments, the first value may be determined in at least one of the following ways: configured by an access network device; configured by a core network device; determined based on a second rule; determined based on a first parameter and a rule related to the first parameter.

[0381] It can be understood that in each embodiment of the present disclosure, configuration by a certain device may be receiving information for configuration sent by the device to implement configuration of part of the information.

[0382] In some embodiments, the first parameter is a parameter related to the first signal and / or the perception target.

[0383] In some embodiments, the name of the first parameter is not limited, and it can be, for example, "perception parameter", "power adjustment parameter", "first signal parameter", "communication signal parameter", "perception target parameter", etc.

[0384] In some embodiments, the first parameter includes the frequency of the first signal. A rule related to the first parameter may be: the higher the frequency, the larger the first parameter; or the higher the frequency, the smaller the first parameter.

[0385] For example, the frequency point may be referred to as an absolute radio frequency channel number (ARFCN).

[0386] In some embodiments, the first parameter includes a bandwidth for transmitting the first signal. A rule related to the first parameter may be: the larger the bandwidth, the larger the first parameter; or the larger the bandwidth, the smaller the first parameter.

[0387] In some embodiments, the first parameter includes the target type of the perceived target. A rule related to the first parameter may be: the worse the perceived target's reflectivity, the larger the first parameter; or the worse the perceived target's reflectivity, the smaller the first parameter.

[0388] Targets of different target types may have different reflectivity. For example, a target of target type 1 may almost perfectly reflect the first signal, while a target of target type 2 may absorb some of the first signal's energy and reflect the rest. This weakens the signal strength or quality of the first signal.

[0389] In some embodiments, the first parameter includes a distance between the sensing target and the first device. A rule related to the first parameter may be: the longer the distance, the larger the first parameter; or the longer the distance, the smaller the first parameter.

[0390] In some embodiments, the first parameter includes the distance between the sensing target and the second device. A rule related to the first parameter may be: the longer the distance, the larger the first parameter; or the longer the distance, the smaller the first parameter.

[0391] In some embodiments, the first parameter includes a distance between the first device and the second device. A rule related to the first parameter may be: the longer the distance, the larger the first parameter; or the longer the distance, the smaller the first parameter.

[0392] In some embodiments, the first parameter includes the size of the space occupied by the perception target. The rule related to the first parameter can be: the larger the space occupied by the perception target, the larger the first parameter; or the larger the space occupied by the perception target, the smaller the first parameter.

[0393] For example, if the perceived target 1 is a large building and the perceived target 2 is a car, the first parameter corresponding to the perceived target 1 will be greater than the first parameter corresponding to the perceived target 2.

[0394] In some embodiments, the first parameter includes the environment the target is in. A rule related to the first parameter may be: the more complex and severe the environment, the larger the first parameter; or the more complex and severe the environment, the smaller the first parameter.

[0395] For example, if the target environment 1 is experiencing a violent storm, while the target environment 2 is experiencing calm winds, no rain, and a temperature of approximately 20 degrees Celsius, the first parameter corresponding to environment 1 will often be greater than the first parameter corresponding to environment 2. Of course, the criteria for determining the complexity and severity of an environment can be set based on actual circumstances and are not limited in this disclosure.

[0396] In some embodiments, the first parameter includes a moving speed of the perceived target. A rule related to the first parameter may be: the faster the moving speed, the larger the first parameter; or the faster the moving speed, the smaller the first parameter.

[0397] In some embodiments, the first parameter includes a device type of the first device. The rule related to the first parameter may be: determining the corresponding first parameter based on whether the first device is a terminal or an access network device.

[0398] It can be understood that the first device can be a first signal sending node.

[0399] In some embodiments, the first parameter includes a device type of the second device. The rule related to the first parameter may be: determining the corresponding first parameter based on whether the second device is a terminal or an access network device.

[0400] It can be understood that the second device may be a first signal receiving node.

[0401] In some embodiments, the first parameter may include at least one of the following parameters: the frequency of the first signal; the bandwidth of sending the first signal; the target type of the perceived target; the distance between the perceived target and the first device; the distance between the perceived target and the second device; the distance between the first device and the second device; the size of the space occupied by the perceived target; the environment in which the perceived target is located; the moving speed of the perceived target; the device type of the first device; the device type of the second device.

[0402] In some embodiments, the first device may not receive the first information sent by the second device within a first time window. The first device increases the first power by a first value to obtain a second power.

[0403] In some embodiments, the first time window is a time threshold for the first device to determine whether the first information is successfully received.

[0404] In some embodiments, the first time window may be configured by the access network device.

[0405] In some embodiments, the first time window may be configured by the first network element device.

[0406] For example, the first network element may be a core network device, or the first network element may be a network element used to implement a perception function.

[0407] In some embodiments, the first time window may be determined based on a first rule.

[0408] For example, the first time window is a default value set in the first rule.

[0409] In some embodiments, the first rule may be referred to as a first preset rule, a first specific rule, a first designated rule, etc. The present disclosure does not limit the name of the first rule.

[0410] In some embodiments, the first rule may be predefined.

[0411] In some embodiments, the first time window may be determined in at least one of the following ways: configured by an access network device; configured by a core network device; the first time window may be determined based on a first rule.

[0412] In some embodiments, the first device transmits the first signal based on the first power using the first beam, and the first device transmits the first signal based on the second power using the second beam.

[0413] In some embodiments, a first device transmits a first signal using a first beam based on a second power. For example, the first device increases the first power used when the first beam was most recently used to transmit the first signal by a first value, thereby obtaining the second power corresponding to the first beam.

[0414] For example, the first device may make adjustments for each (per) beam. Different beams may correspond to different beam directions. The first device may, for one beam, increase the transmit power by a first value each time the first signal is retransmitted. Of course, the increased first value may be the same or different for different transmissions. For example, for beam 1, the first value between the transmit power of the first signal transmitted for the second time using beam 1 and the transmit power of the first signal transmitted for the first time using beam 1 may be delta_21. The first value between the transmit power of the first signal transmitted for the third time using beam 1 and the transmit power of the first signal transmitted for the second time using beam 1 may be delta_32. The delta_21 and delta_32 may be the same or different.

[0415] Of course, the first and second transmissions of the first signal using beam 1 are not necessarily consecutive. For example, the first device transmits the first signal eight times in a row. Beam 1 is used for the first, third, fifth, and seventh transmissions, and beam 2 is used for the second, fourth, sixth, and eighth transmissions. Beam 1 and beam 2 can be adjusted independently. The first and third transmissions of the first signal using beam 1 can be considered the first and second transmissions of the first signal using beam 1.

[0416] For example, the power used for transmitting the first signal for the first time using beam 1 is P0_1, that is, P0_1 is the initial transmission power for transmitting the first signal using beam 1. The power used for transmitting the first signal for the second time using beam 2 is P0_2, that is, P0_2 is the initial transmission power for transmitting the first signal using beam 2. P0_1 and P0_2 can be the same or different. The power used for transmitting the first signal for the third time using beam 1 is P0_1+delta3_1, and the power used for transmitting the first signal for the fourth time using beam 2 is P0_2+delta4_2. The power used for transmitting the first signal for the fifth time using beam 1 is P0_1+delta3_1+delta5_3, and the power used for transmitting the first signal for the sixth time using beam 2 is P0_2+delta4_2+delta6_4. And so on.

[0417] As can be seen, each time the first device performs power adjustment, it increases the power based on the previous transmit power for the same beam. This increase is not necessarily based on the most recent transmit power. This is because the beam that most recently transmitted the first signal may be a different beam than the beam that is currently transmitting the first signal.

[0418] It can be understood that the first value can be used to adjust the first power when the first signal is sent using the same beam.

[0419] In some embodiments, a first device transmits a first signal using a first beam or a second beam at a second power. The first device increases the first power used when the first signal was most recently transmitted using the first beam by a first value. This results in a second power corresponding to the first beam or the second beam. The first beam and the second beam are different.

[0420] For example, the first device may adjust the power using the first power of the most recent first signal transmission, regardless of whether the beam used in two consecutive first signal transmissions is the same. That is, the first device may use the same beam or a different beam for each transmission of the first signal. The first device increases the first power of the most recent first signal transmission by the first value to obtain the second power. This does not consider whether the beam used in the most recent first signal transmission is the same beam as the beam used in the current first signal transmission.

[0421] Of course, the first value for adjusting the first power each time may be the same or different.

[0422] For example, the power of the first signal sent for the first time is P0_1, that is, P0_1 is the initial transmission power of the first signal. The power of the first signal sent for the second time is P0_1+delta2_1, and the power of the first signal sent for the third time is P0_1+delta2_1+delta3_2. And so on.

[0423] It can be seen that each time the first device adjusts the power, it no longer considers whether the beam used for sending the first signal twice is the same, but directly increases the power based on the last transmission power.

[0424] It can be understood that the first value can be used to adjust the transmission power used for sending the first signal last time.

[0425] In some embodiments, the first values ​​used when adjusting the power of the first signal transmitted based on different beams can be the same or different. In other words, the first values ​​added when transmitting the first signal based on the second power using different beams can be the same or different.

[0426] In some embodiments, a first device transmits a first signal using a first beam and a second power. The first device determines one or more first combinations. Each first combination includes a beam and a power. The first device determines a second power corresponding to the first beam based on the first combination. The second power is greater than the first power. It is understood that among the one or more first combinations, at least one first combination includes a first beam and a second power. When multiple first combinations include a first beam and a second power, the second power with the smallest power value is selected as the second power used for transmitting the first signal.

[0427] For example, different beams can be associated with different transmit powers. For example, beams include beam 1, beam 2, beam 3, and beam 4. Transmit powers include transmit power 1, transmit power 2, transmit power 3, transmit power 4, and transmit power 5. The power increases gradually from transmit power 1 to transmit power 5. First combinations can be preconfigured, such as {transmit power 1, beam 1}, {transmit power 1, beam 3}, {transmit power 2, beam 2}, {transmit power 3, beam 4}, {transmit power 4, beam 2}, {transmit power 5, beam 3}, and so on. Each time a first signal is transmitted, any first combination can be used, and the first signal is transmitted based on the beams and transmit powers in that combination. The transmit power each time can be no less than the transmit power of the previous first signal transmission. There is no requirement that the beams used for different first signal transmissions be the same. The second power can be the lowest power value among the multiple first combinations corresponding to the first beam.

[0428] In some embodiments, the first device may receive first information sent by the second device within a first time window, and adjust the first power based on the power indicated by the first information to obtain the second power.

[0429] In some embodiments, the first information may directly indicate how much the transmit power is increased, decreased, or remains unchanged, or the first information may directly indicate the second power.

[0430] In some embodiments, the first information may instruct the second device to measure the RSRP of the first signal. The RSRP may be layer (L) 1-RSRP or layer 3-RSRP after filtering for a period of time.

[0431] In some embodiments, the terms "precoding", "precoder", "weight", "precoding weight", "quasi-co-location (QCL)", "transmission configuration indication (TCI) state", "spatial relation", "spatial domain filter", "transmission power", "phase rotation", "antenna port", "antenna port group", "layer", "the number of layers", "rank", "resource", "resource set", "resource group", "beam", "beam width", "beam angular degree", "antenna", "antenna element", "panel" and the like can be used interchangeably.

[0432] In some embodiments, the TCI state can be used to indicate which receive beams the terminal uses when receiving the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and / or the demodulation reference signal (DMRS) of the PDCCH, and / or the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and / or the DMRS of the PDSCH. For example, the receive beams are the same as the synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel block (SSB) or channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) sent by the network device. The TCI state can also be used to indicate which transmit beams the terminal uses when transmitting the physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and / or the DMRS of the PUCCH, and / or the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and / or the DMRS of the PUSCH. For example, the transmit beam corresponding to the receive beam of the SSB or CSI-RS sent by the receiving network device, or the same transmit beam as the SRS sent by the terminal. The beam refers to quasi-colocation (QCL) type D.

[0433] In some embodiments, the beam may also be replaced by a DL TCI state, a UL TCI state, a SL TCI state, a joint TCI state, or spatial relation information.

[0434] In some embodiments, terms such as "certain", "preset", "preset", "setting", "indicated", "a certain", "any", and "first" can be interchangeable. "Specific A", "preset A", "preset A", "setting A", "indicated A", "a certain A", "any A", and "first A" can be interpreted as A pre-specified in a protocol, etc., or as A obtained through setting, configuration, or indication, etc., or as specific A, a certain A, any A, or first A, etc., but not limited to this.

[0436] In some embodiments, the first device resends the first signal to the second device according to the second power after power adjustment.

[0585] Next, the present disclosure will describe the above solution with more detailed embodiments.

[0586] In some embodiments, in the first step, the perception signal sending node determines the initial transmission power of the perception signal based on a configuration or default rule.

[0587] In some embodiments, the configuration may be a gNB configuration or an awareness function entity configuration or a UE indication via a sidelink.

[0588] In some embodiments, the configuration includes directly configuring the transmit power, or configuring the pathloss RS, or indicating the RSRP received by the perception signal receiving end.

[0589] For example, the transmitting node determines the transmit power based on the RSRP value of the pathloss RS. For example, if the RSRP value of the pathloss RS is large, the transmit power can be small. Otherwise, the transmit power needs to be large.

[0590] For example, the RSRP received by the sensing signal receiving end corresponds to the transmit power. The larger the RSRP received by the sensing signal receiving end, the closer the distance between the transmitting node and the receiving end is, so the transmit power can be lower.

[0591] In some embodiments, in the second step, the sensing node transmits the sensing signal using the initial transmission power, and then adjusts the transmission power to facilitate further transmission. The adjustment method is as follows:

[0592] In some embodiments, if the perception signal sending node does not receive the indication information sent by the perception signal receiving node within a time window, the perception signal sending node increases the transmission power by a delta value before sending.

[0593] The time window can be a network configuration or a default value specified by the protocol.

[0594] The delta value can be a network configuration, a default value specified by the protocol, or a value calculated based on certain parameters and a specified rule.

[0595] For example, the parameters can be related to the frequency of the perception signal (the higher the frequency, the larger the delta), bandwidth (the larger the bandwidth, the larger the delta), perception target type (the poorer the perception target's transmission capability, the larger the delta), the distance range of the perception target (the longer the distance, the larger the delta), the size range of the perception target (the larger the size, the larger the delta), the perception environment, the movement speed of the perception target, the perception node type (UE or gNB), etc.

[0596] The power adjustment can be performed per beam, or it can be increased directly regardless of whether the beams are the same.

[0597] Per-beam operation means that for each retransmission in the same beam direction, the power is increased by delta for each retransmission. The delta value can vary between transmissions. For example, the delta value for the second transmission can be delta_21 compared to the first, and delta_32 compared to the third. This does not mean that the same beam must be used for multiple consecutive transmissions. Rather, it means that beam 1 can be used repeatedly, or beam 1 can be used for the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th transmissions, and beam 2 for the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th transmissions. However, other power adjustments are performed independently for beams 1 and 2. For example, the power of beam 1 for the first transmission is P0_1 (beam 1's initial power), and the power of beam 2 for the second transmission is also P0_2 (beam 2's initial power; the initial powers can be the same or different). The power of beam1 used for the third time is P0_1 + delta_31, and the power of beam2 used for the fourth time is P0_2 + delta_42. That is, each time the power is increased based on the last transmitted power of the same beam, not based on the most recent transmitted power, because the most recent transmission power may be a different beam.

[0598] Regardless of whether the beam is the same, the power is increased based on the most recent transmission. This means that the beam can vary with each retransmission, but the power is increased based on the most recent transmission power, regardless of whether the beam is the same. Similarly, the delta can be the same or different between transmissions.

[0599] Select some beam and power combinations to send, for example, beams are beam1, beam2, beam3, beam4, and the power is P0, P1, P2, P3, P4 gradually increasing. Then select some combinations to send, such as {P0, beam1}, {P0, beam3}, {P1, beam2}, {P2, beam4}, {P3, beam1}, {P4, beam3}... In this case, the transmitted power cannot be less than the previous transmission power, but the beam can change.

[0600] In some embodiments, if the perception signal sending node receives the indication information sent by the perception signal receiving node within the time window, the next operation may be performed according to the indication information.

[0601] For example, the indication information may indicate a power adjustment parameter, such as how much to increase, how much to decrease, or whether to keep unchanged, or may indicate an RSRP value at a perceived receiving node, where the RSRP may be L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP filtered over a period of time.

[0602] In some embodiments, the indication information is sent as follows: If the mode is for sensing between different UEs, UE B can directly inform UE A through the inter-UE interface, or UE B can forward it to UE A through the gNB. If the description is for sensing between gNBs, it is sent through the inter-gNB interface.

[0603] There are different methods for sensing when a signal receiving node sends indication information:

[0604] Method 1: The sensing signal receiving node knows the time when the sensing signal sending node starts sending the sensing signal (i.e., the time domain configuration information of the sensing signal). Therefore, if the sensing signal receiving node cannot accurately receive the sensing signal within a period of time after this time, or the signal strength or signal quality of the received sensing signal is lower than the threshold value, the sensing signal receiving node knows that the sensing signal sending node sent the sensing signal but was not accurately received due to low power. In this case, the sensing signal receiving node can send indication information to the sensing signal sending node after any sensing signal sending time.

[0605] How does the sensing signal receiving node know the sensing signal sending time?

[0606] Between different UEs, the time domain configuration information of the perception signal can be notified through the interface between UEs, or by the gNB, or by the perception function entity: including period, time slot offset value, number of symbols, symbol starting position, etc.

[0607] Different gNBs can directly inform each other of the time domain configuration information of the perception signal through the interface between gNBs or the perception function entity, including the period, time slot offset value, number of symbols, symbol starting position, etc.

[0608] Method 2: The perception signal receiving node does not know the time when the perception signal sending node starts sending the perception signal, that is, the perception signal receiving node does not have the time domain configuration information of the perception signal. Therefore, the perception signal receiving node knows that the perception signal sending node has sent the perception signal only when it can accurately receive the perception signal or when the signal strength or signal quality of the received perception signal is higher than the threshold value. In this case, the indication information can be sent.

[0609] In some embodiments, the above embodiments are mainly applicable to the sensing mode between different UEs or between different gNBs. They are not limited to the other four modes.
