The working mode of communication-perception integration is mainly the self-transmitting and self-receiving mode or the mode of device A transmitting and device B receiving. For example, base station A sends a sensing signal, and the sensing signal is reflected by the "target sensing object" to base station B. Base station B estimates relevant information such as the distance, speed, and angle of the "target sensing object" by measuring the reflected sensing signal.

[0112] Before introducing the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, the related technologies are introduced first.

[0113] Currently, in communication-sensing integration, radio waves can be analyzed to obtain the perception of target objects or environmental information, so as to complete functions such as positioning, ranging, speed measurement, imaging, recognition, and environmental reconstruction. The working mode of communication-sensing integration is mainly the self-transmitting and self-receiving mode or the mode of device A transmitting and device B receiving. For example, base station A sends a sensing signal, and this sensing signal is reflected by the "target sensing object" to base station B. Base station B estimates information such as the distance, speed, and angle of the "target sensing object" by measuring the reflected sensing signal.

[0114] However, there is currently a lack of technical solutions for sensing signals designed to implement the above functions.

[0115] Based on this, in the embodiments of the present application, the first device sends the configuration information of the sensing signal to the second device; the configuration information of the sensing signal is used for the second device to send the sensing signal to the target object and reflect it to the first device, so that the first device can estimate the relevant information of the target object by using the reflected sensing signal; wherein, the configuration information of the sensing signal includes at least one of the following: a first parameter; the first parameter characterizes the starting symbol at which the sensing signal starts to be transmitted within a time slot; a second parameter; the second parameter characterizes the total number of symbols occupied by the sensing signal in the time domain, or the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensing signal; a third parameter; the third parameter characterizes the symbol interval between the starting symbols of two transmissions of the sensing signal, or the number of symbols during which no sensing signal is transmitted between two transmissions of the sensing signal; a fourth parameter; the fourth parameter characterizes that the sensing signal is transmitted in N transmission opportunities; where N is an integer greater than 1.

[0116] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a schematic flowchart of the implementation process of the configuration method in the embodiments of the present application, applied to the first device. The method includes step 101:

[0117] Step 101: Send the configuration information of the sensing signal to the second device; the configuration information of the sensing signal is used for the second device to determine the time-frequency resource position for sending the sensing signal.

[0118] Wherein, the configuration information of the sensing signal includes at least one of the following:

[0119] A first parameter; the first parameter characterizes the starting symbol at which the sensing signal starts to be transmitted within a time slot;

[0120] A second parameter; the second parameter characterizes the total number of symbols occupied by the sensing signal in the time domain, or the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensing signal;

[0121] A third parameter; the third parameter characterizes the symbol interval between the starting symbols of two transmissions of the sensing signal, or the number of symbols during which no sensing signal is transmitted between two transmissions of the sensing signal;

[0122] A fourth parameter; the fourth parameter characterizes that the sensing signal is transmitted in N transmission opportunities; where N is an integer greater than 1.

[0123] As an example, the first device may specifically refer to a network device such as a base station, and the second device may specifically refer to a terminal, or the first device may specifically refer to a terminal, and the second device may specifically refer to a network device such as a base station.

[0124] As an example, the relevant information of the target object may refer to information such as the distance, speed, and angle of the target object.

[0125] As an example, the first parameter is represented by A, and A represents the starting symbol at which the sensing signal starts to be transmitted within a time slot.

[0126] As an example, the second parameter is represented by Ltotal or Li. Ltotal represents the total number of symbols occupied by the sensing signal in the time domain, and Li represents the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensing signal.

[0127] As an example, the third parameter is represented by C1 or C2. C1 represents the time-domain comb of the sensing signal or the time-domain interval of the sensing signal. This time-domain comb or time-domain interval of the sensing signal represents the symbol interval between the starting symbols of two transmissions of the sensing signal, and C2 represents the number of symbols during which no sensing signal is transmitted between two transmissions of the sensing signal.

[0128] As an example, the fourth parameter is represented by N, and N represents that the sensing signal is transmitted in N transmission opportunities, where N is an integer greater than 1.

[0129] In some embodiments, when the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensing signal is represented by a numerical value, the numerical value represents that the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensing signal in each transmission is the same;

[0130] Or,

[0131] When the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensing signal is represented by two numerical values, the first numerical value of the two numerical values represents the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensing signal in the first transmission, and the second numerical value of the two numerical values represents the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensing signal from the second to the last transmission;

[0132] Or,

[0133] When the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensing signal is represented by a first list, each numerical value in the first list represents the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensing signal in each transmission.

[0134] As an example, the number of consecutive symbols Li occupied by the sensing signal characterized by the second parameter includes the following situations:

[0135] In the first situation, the number of consecutive symbols Li occupied by the sensing signal characterized by the second parameter can be represented by 1 numerical value, representing that the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensing signal in each transmission is the same.

[0136] For example, Li is represented by one value. For instance, Li = 2, which means the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensed signal for each transmission is 2. Assuming the symbols occupied by the sensed signals for 3 transmissions are represented by {0, 1, 3, 4, 6, 7}, then the symbols occupied by the sensed signal for the first transmission are symbol 0 and symbol 1, the symbols occupied by the sensed signal for the second transmission are symbol 3 and symbol 4, and the symbols occupied by the sensed signal for the third transmission are symbol 6 and symbol 7.

[0137] In the second case, the number of consecutive symbols Li occupied by the sensed signal characterized by the second parameter can be represented by two values. The first value among the two values represents the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensed signal for the first consecutive transmission, and the second value represents the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensed signal for the second to the last consecutive transmission. The advantage is that the maximum number of symbols can be sent in the first transmission to ensure the accuracy of distance and angle estimation, and fewer symbols are sent in each subsequent transmission for speed estimation, reducing resource overhead.

[0138] For example, Li is represented by two values. For instance, Li = 2 and 1. 2 means the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensed signal for the first transmission is 2, and 1 means the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensed signal for the second to the last transmission is 1. Assuming the symbols occupied by the sensed signals for 3 transmissions are represented by {0, 1, 3, 6}, then the symbols occupied by the sensed signal for the first transmission are symbol 0 and symbol 1, the symbol occupied by the sensed signal for the second consecutive transmission is symbol 3, and the symbol occupied by the sensed signal for the third consecutive transmission is symbol 6.

[0139] In the third case, the number of consecutive symbols Li occupied by the sensed signal characterized by the second parameter can be represented by one list. Each value in the list corresponds one by one to the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensed signal for each transmission. The advantage is to achieve the effect that the number of sensed symbols for each consecutive transmission can be flexibly configured.

[0140] For example, Li is represented by one list. For instance, Li = {2, 1, 2}. Among them, the first value 2 in the list means the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensed signal for the first transmission is 2, the second value 1 in the list means the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensed signal for the second transmission is 1, and the third value 2 in the list means the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensed signal for the third transmission is 2. Assuming the symbols occupied by the sensed signals for 3 transmissions are represented by {0, 1, 3, 6, 7}, then the symbols occupied by the sensed signal for the first transmission are symbol 0 and symbol 1, the symbol occupied by the sensed signal for the second transmission is symbol 3, and the symbols occupied by the sensed signal for the third transmission are symbol 6 and symbol 7.

[0141] In some embodiments, the sensing signal is transmitted in N transmission opportunities, including:

[0142] The starting symbol of the first transmission of the sensing signal is represented by A, and the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensing signal is represented by Ltotal / N or L1 or the first value in the first list;

[0143] The starting symbol of the second transmission of the sensing signal is represented by A + C, and the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensing signal is represented by Ltotal / N or L2 or the second value in the first list;

[0144] The starting symbol of the third transmission of the sensing signal is represented by A + C×2, and the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensing signal is represented by Ltotal / N or L3 or the third value in the first list;

[0145] By analogy, the starting symbol of the Nth transmission of the sensing signal is represented by A + C×(N - 1), and the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensing signal is represented by Ltotal / N or LN or the Nth value in the first list;

[0146] Among them,

[0147] A represents the starting symbol at which the sensing signal starts to be transmitted within a time slot;

[0148] C represents the symbol interval between the starting symbols of two transmissions of the sensing signal;

[0149] Ltotal represents the total number of symbols occupied by the sensing signal in the time domain;

[0150] N represents the total number of transmissions;

[0151] L1 represents the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensing signal in the first transmission;

[0152] L2 represents the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensing signal in the second transmission;

[0153] L3 represents the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensing signal in the third transmission;

[0154] LN represents the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensing signal in the Nth transmission.

[0155] For example, if the starting symbol of the first transmission of the sensing signal is represented by A, and the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensing signal is represented by Ltotal / N, then the symbols occupied by the sensing signal in the first transmission are represented as {A, A + 1, …, A + Ltotal / N - 1};

[0156] The starting symbol of the second transmission of the sensing signal is represented by A + C, and the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensing signal is represented by Ltotal / N. Then, the symbols occupied by the sensing signal in the second transmission are represented as {A + C, A + C + 1, …, A + C + Ltotal / N - 1};

[0157] The starting symbol of the third transmission of the sensing signal is represented by A + C×2, and the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensing signal is represented by Ltotal / N. Then, the symbols occupied by the sensing signal in the second transmission are represented as {A + C×2, A + C×2 + 1, …, A + C×2 + Ltotal / N - 1};

[0158] And so on. The starting symbol of the Nth transmission of the sensing signal is represented by A + C×(N - 1), and the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensing signal is represented by Ltotal / N. Then, the symbols occupied by the sensing signal in the Nth transmission are represented as {A + C×(N - 1), A + C×(N - 1) + 1, …, A + C×(N - 1) + Ltotal / N - 1}.

[0159] Alternatively, the starting symbol of the first transmission of the sensing signal is represented by A, and the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensing signal is represented by L1. Then, the symbols occupied by the sensing signal in the first transmission are represented as {A, A + 1, …, A + L1 - 1};

[0160] The starting symbol of the second transmission of the sensing signal is represented by A + C, and the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensing signal is represented by L2. Then, the symbols occupied by the sensing signal in the second transmission are represented as {A + C, A + C + 1, …, A + C + L2 - 1};

[0161] The starting symbol of the third transmission of the sensing signal is represented by A + C×2, and the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the sensing signal is represented by L3. Then, the symbols occupied by the sensing signal in the second transmission are represented as {A + C×2, A + C×2 + 1, …, A + C×2 + L3 - 1};

[0162] And so on.

[0171] As an example, the value range or the maximum value of the frequency-domain mapping parameter can be used to determine the range of the frequency-domain resources mapped by the sensing signal.

[0172] As an example, the fifth parameter is represented by E, and E represents the frequency-domain bandwidth or the number of frequency-domain RBs occupied by the sensing signal of the first transmission;

[0173] As an example, the sixth parameter is represented by F, and F represents the frequency-domain bandwidth or the number of frequency-domain RBs occupied by the sensing signals of the second to the last continuous transmission except the sensing signal of the first continuous transmission.

[0174] As an example, the ninth parameter is represented by G, and G represents the comb teeth or symbol interval within the continuously transmitted sensing signals.

[0175] Here, the advantage of configuring the fifth parameter and the sixth parameter is to maximize the transmission bandwidth of the first transmission, ensure the accuracy of distance and angle estimation, and reduce the transmission bandwidth of each subsequent transmission for speed estimation, thereby reducing resource overhead.
