These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of this application, a first parameter may also be referred to as a second parameter, and similarly, a second parameter may also be referred to as a first parameter. Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "at the time of" or "when" or "in response to determining".

[0048] Communication perception scenarios, also known as synaesthesia scenarios, can be divided into perception area-level synaesthesia scenarios and perception target-level synaesthesia scenarios, depending on whether the perception requirements focus on designated perception areas or designated perception targets.

[0049] The scenario of using synaesthesia technology to continuously perceive and track the perceived object to obtain dynamic monitoring of the state of the perceived object is called a perception target-level synaesthesia scenario.

[0050] In smart transportation scenarios, continuous tracking of vehicles and real-time dynamic monitoring of vehicle status can be achieved based on integrated communication and perception base stations or collaboration between base stations. For vehicles with wireless communication capabilities, vehicle perception accuracy can also be improved through vehicle collaborative perception.

[0051] In smart low-altitude scenarios, drones that intrude into the regulatory range are located and tracked based on integrated communication and perception base stations or collaboration between base stations. For networked drones with wireless communication capabilities, the flight status of drones, roadblocks in the flight route, etc. can also be identified through drone collaborative perception to provide auxiliary flight services.

[0052] In smart life scenarios, by carrying a terminal with communication capabilities, based on the collaboration between base stations and terminals, or the spontaneous transmission and reception of terminals, or the collaborative working mode between terminals, breathing monitoring, fitness monitoring, gesture / posture recognition, etc. of a specific human body can be performed to achieve accurate real-time dynamic monitoring.

[0053] In smart network scenarios, synaesthesia technology is used to assist in improving beam management and channel estimation accuracy, enhance the timeliness of terminal beam tracking, improve channel estimation accuracy and reduce feedback overhead.

[0054] For the target-level synaesthesia scenario, as shown in Figure 1, when the target 103 is a vehicle, it is necessary to obtain perception results such as the speed, distance, moving direction, and shape of the target 103. Because the target 103 is moving, based on switching conditions such as the position, distance, and measurement results of the perception reference signal related to the target 103, if the switching conditions are met, switching from the first perception transmitting node 101 to the second perception transmitting node 102 is performed. The first perception transmitting node 101 is the current perception transmitting node, and the second perception transmitting node 102 is one of multiple candidate perception transmitting nodes that meet the switching conditions.

[0055] Scenarios that require efficient perception of the real-time status of roads, vehicles, and people in factories, roads, low altitudes, cities, and even larger time and space ranges are called perception area-level synaesthesia scenarios.

[0056] In smart transportation scenarios, based on integrated communication and perception base stations or collaboration between base stations, perception of the road environment is achieved, high-precision map construction is effectively realized, and beyond-line-of-sight assistance is provided for the safe operation of autonomous vehicles; based on integrated communication and perception base stations or collaboration between base stations, all-round, all-weather, and uninterrupted detection of the movement trajectory and speed of moving vehicles is achieved, and the perception information is uploaded to the processing center, comprehensively improving the intelligent perception capability of the operation status of highways and providing data support for road supervision; based on integrated communication and perception base stations, perception of the railway track environment is achieved, and all-weather foreign object intrusion detection around high-speed railways is realized.

[0057] In smart low-altitude scenarios, all-round and multi-angle perception of the airspace is carried out based on an integrated communication and perception base station or collaboration between base stations, and the perception results are provided to drones. This can provide redundancy for obstacle avoidance warning and improve the success rate of drone obstacle avoidance. Based on an integrated communication and perception base station or collaboration between base stations, full airspace perception is carried out to locate and track drones that intrude into the regulatory range, thereby realizing drone intrusion monitoring for fixed areas.

[0058] In smart life scenarios, based on the collaboration between base stations and terminals, or the spontaneous transmission and reception of terminals, or the collaborative working mode between terminals, breathing monitoring, fitness monitoring, gesture / posture recognition, etc. are carried out by sensing changes in wireless channels. Based on the integrated communication perception base station or the collaboration between base stations, the signal link attenuation in the communication link is measured, and then the relationship between signal link attenuation and weather indicators is analyzed to obtain the corresponding weather indicators for weather monitoring.

[0059] In smart network scenarios, information such as the density and location of idle terminals in a cell can be obtained based on integrated communication-aware base stations or collaboration between base stations to assist in energy conservation and optimization of base station resource scheduling within the cell.

[0060] For the perception area-level synaesthesia scenario, as shown in Figure 2, it is necessary to perceive the surrounding road environment in a larger time and space range through the vehicle-mounted perception receiving node 100. Since the perception receiving node 100 is moving, based on switching conditions such as the position, distance, and measurement results of the perception reference signal related to the perception receiving node 100, when the switching conditions are met, it switches from the first perception transmitting node 101 to the second perception transmitting node 102. The first perception transmitting node 101 is the current perception transmitting node, and the second perception transmitting node 102 is one of multiple candidate perception transmitting nodes that meet the switching conditions.

[0061] In this application, we mainly consider the perception service operation process of A sending and B receiving. A is the perception transmitting node, which can be a terminal or a base station; B is the perception receiving node, which can be a terminal or a base station.

[0062] The term “perception” in this application may also be understood as meaning at least one of positioning, ranging, speed measurement, angle measurement, target imaging, target detection, target tracking, and target recognition.

[0063] FIG3 shows a flowchart of a node switching method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method is executed by a sensing receiving node, and the method includes:

[0064] Step 310: When a switching condition is met, switch from the first sensing transmitting node to the second sensing transmitting node.

[0065] The first sensing transmitting node sends a sensing signal to the sensing target. The sensing receiving node receives and measures the sensing signal reflected by the sensing target to obtain sensing results such as the target's speed, movement direction, and shape. The first sensing transmitting node is the current sensing transmitting node, the second sensing transmitting node is one of multiple candidate sensing transmitting nodes that meet the switching conditions, and the sensing receiving node is a node that receives the sensing signal transmitted by the sensing transmitting node or the sensing signal reflected by the sensing target.

[0066] However, at least one of the sensing target, the first sensing transmitting node, and the sensing receiving node may be mobile. When the sensing environment changes, for example, when the distance between the sensing target and the first sensing transmitting node increases, the quality of the sensing signal received by the sensing receiving node may decrease, resulting in discontinuity of the sensing service.

[0067] In this embodiment, the sensing receiving node switches from the first sensing transmitting node to the second sensing transmitting node when a switching condition is met, wherein the switching condition is used to indicate that the sensing reference signal transmitted by the first sensing transmitting node is worse than the sensing reference signal transmitted by the second sensing transmitting node.

[0069] or,

[0070] The switching condition is used to indicate that the sensing reference signal transmitted by the second sensing transmitting node is better than the second condition;

[0091] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned position and distance can be obtained based on various known positioning technologies or measurement technologies, which are not limited in this application, such as positioning technology of the global positioning system, positioning technology based on mobile communications, etc.

[0092] In some embodiments, the sensing receiving node switches from the first sensing transmitting node to the second sensing transmitting node when a switching condition is satisfied. Exemplarily, the sensing receiving node switches from the first sensing transmitting node to the second sensing transmitting node when a switching condition related to transmission delay is satisfied.

[0093] In some embodiments, the sensing receiving node switches from the first sensing transmitting node to the second sensing transmitting node when at least two switching conditions are met. Exemplarily, the sensing receiving node switches from the first sensing transmitting node to the second sensing transmitting node when a switching condition related to location and a switching condition related to distance are met.

[0094] To sum up, the method provided in this embodiment switches from the first perception transmitting node to the second perception transmitting node when the switching conditions are met, so that the signal quality received by the perception receiving node remains in a good state, ensuring that the perception service can be continuous and the perception target in a continuously moving state can be perceived.

[0095] FIG4 shows a flowchart of a node switching method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method is performed by the sensing receiving node 100, the first sensing transmitting node 101, and the second sensing transmitting node 102. The method includes:

[0096] Step 410: The first sensing transmitting node 101 sends first configuration information.

[0097] In this embodiment, the first sensing transmitting node 101 may be referred to as a source sensing transmitting node or a sensing transmitting node before switching; the second sensing transmitting node 102 may be referred to as a target sensing transmitting node or a sensing transmitting node after switching.

[0098] A first sensing transmitting node 101 sends first configuration information to a sensing receiving node, and the sensing receiving node 100 receives the first configuration information. The first configuration information is used to configure the sensing receiving node 100 to measure a sensing reference signal transmitted by at least one candidate sensing transmitting node when a measurement initiation condition is met. Optionally, the first configuration information carries specific content of the measurement initiation condition.

[0099] The measurement start condition is used to indicate that the sensing reference signal transmitted by the first sensing transmitting node is worse than the third condition.

[0100] In this embodiment, the measurement start condition is represented by at least one of the following information:

[0101] Measurement results of the sensing reference signal;

[0102] sensing an absolute sending position or a relative sending position of a reference signal;

[0104] The measurement start condition includes at least one of the following:

[0106] A start condition related to a transmission delay corresponding to a path of a sensing reference signal from the first sensing transmitting node 101 to the sensing receiving node 100 via reflection from the sensing target;

[0107] A start-up condition related to the location of the first sensing transmitting node 101;

[0108] A start-up condition related to the first sensing distance between the transmitting node 101 and the receiving node 100;

[0114] A starting condition related to the distance between the first sensing transmitting node 101 and the sensing target.

[0115] In some embodiments, the sensing receiving node 100 measures the sensing reference signal transmitted by at least one candidate sensing transmitting node when a startup condition is met. Exemplarily, the sensing receiving node 100 measures the sensing reference signal transmitted by at least one candidate sensing transmitting node when a startup condition related to a transmission delay corresponding to a path along which the sensing reference signal is reflected from the first sensing transmitting node 101 through the sensing target to the sensing receiving node 100 is met.

[0116] In some embodiments, the sensing receiving node 100 measures the sensing reference signal transmitted by at least one candidate sensing transmitting node when at least two activation conditions are met. Exemplarily, the sensing receiving node 100 measures the sensing reference signal transmitted by at least one candidate sensing transmitting node when an activation condition related to the position of the first sensing transmitting node 101 and an activation condition related to the distance between the first sensing transmitting node 101 and a sensing target are met.

[0117] Step 420: The candidate / second sensing transmitting node 102 sends second configuration information.

[0118] For a sensing receiving node, there may be one or more candidate sensing transmitting nodes. The second sensing transmitting node 102 is one of the multiple candidate sensing transmitting nodes. Before the measurement is completed, it is not determined whether the second sensing transmitting node 102 is a specific sensing transmitting node among the multiple candidate sensing transmitting nodes.

[0119] The candidate sensing transmitting node 102 sends second configuration information, and the sensing receiving node 100 receives the second configuration information. The second configuration information is used to indicate the transmission configuration of the sensing reference signal transmitted by the candidate sensing transmitting node. The transmission configuration is used by the sensing receiving node 100 to measure the sensing reference signal. If the measurement result of the sensing reference signal meets the switching condition, the sensing receiving node 100 switches from the first sensing transmitting node 101 to the candidate sensing transmitting node 102.

[0125] Exemplarily, the candidate sensing transmitting node 102 sends a start time for sending a sensing reference signal, indicating that the start time for sending the sensing reference signal is the x-th time slot in each radio frame, where x is an integer.

[0126] Step 430: The first sensing transmitting node 101 sends third configuration information.

[0129] Handover conditions related to the measurement results of the sensing reference signal;

[0130] Location-related switching conditions;

[0133] In some embodiments, the sensing receiving node 100 switches from the first sensing transmitting node 101 to the second sensing transmitting node 102 when a switching condition is satisfied. Exemplarily, the sensing receiving node 100 switches from the first sensing transmitting node 101 to the second sensing transmitting node 102 when a switching condition related to transmission delay is satisfied.

[0134] In some embodiments, the sensing receiving node 100 switches from the first sensing transmitting node 101 to the second sensing transmitting node 102 when at least two switching conditions are met. Exemplarily, the sensing receiving node 100 switches from the first sensing transmitting node 101 to the second sensing transmitting node 102 when a switching condition related to location and a switching condition related to distance are met.

[0135] Step 440: The first sensing transmitting node 101 sends a first sensing reference signal.

[0136] The first sensing transmitting node 101 sends a first sensing reference signal, and the sensing receiving node 100 receives the first sensing reference signal. The sensing receiving node 100 measures the first sensing reference signal sent by the first sensing transmitting node 101, and uses the obtained measurement result to determine whether to switch the sensing transmitting node.

[0137] Step 450: The second sensing transmitting node 102 sends a second sensing reference signal.

[0138] The second sensing transmitting node 102 sends a second sensing reference signal, and the sensing receiving node 100 receives the second sensing reference signal. The sensing receiving node 100 measures the second sensing reference signal sent by the second sensing transmitting node 102, and uses the obtained measurement result to determine whether to switch the sensing transmitting node.

[0139] The second sensing transmitting node 102 is selected from at least two candidate sensing transmitting nodes that meet the switching condition based on a selection condition, where the selection condition includes at least one of the following:

[0140] The candidate sensing transmitting node with the largest measurement result of the sensing reference signal;

[0141] The candidate sensing transmitting node with the smallest transmission delay corresponding to the path where the reference signal is reflected from the candidate sensing transmitting node through the sensing target to the sensing receiving node 100;

[0142] The candidate sensing transmitting node with the smallest distance to the sensing receiving node 100;

[0143] The candidate sensing transmitting node with the smallest distance to the sensing target;

[0144] Any candidate sensing transmitting node.

[0145] Exemplarily, the candidate sensing transmitting nodes include a second sensing transmitting node 102 and a third sensing transmitting node. In the transmission delay corresponding to the path of the sensing reference signal reflected from the candidate sensing transmitting node through the sensing target to the sensing receiving node 100, the transmission delay corresponding to the second sensing transmitting node 102 is 30 milliseconds, and the transmission delay corresponding to the third sensing transmitting node is 60 milliseconds. The transmission delay corresponding to the second sensing transmitting node 102 is the smallest, and the second sensing transmitting node 102 is selected.

[0146] Step 460: The sensing receiving node 100 measures the second sensing reference signal when the measurement start condition is met.

[0147] When a measurement start condition is met, the sensing receiving node 100 measures a sensing reference signal transmitted by at least one candidate sensing transmitting node, wherein the second sensing transmitting node 102 is one of the at least one candidate sensing transmitting node.

[0158] The average measurement results of the perception reference signal corresponding to multiple path components;

[0159] The average measurement results of the perceptual reference signal corresponding to all path components.

[0160] In one case, the sensing reference signal is sent from the sensing transmitting node and is received by the sensing receiving node 100 through a direct path;

[0161] In another scenario, a sensing reference signal is emitted from a sensing transmitting node, reflected by surrounding objects and the sensing target, and then received by the sensing receiving node 100. In this case, the sensing reference signal carries information related to the sensing target and the surrounding environment. For sensing services, it is the sensing reference signal in this scenario that requires attention and measurement. Therefore, the sensing reference signal measurement results must exclude the direct path component between the sensing transmitting node and the sensing receiving node 100. The direct path component between the sensing transmitting node and the sensing receiving node 100 is typically the first path in time order, or the first arrival path.

[0162] The measurement result of the perceptual reference signal includes at least one of the following: a linear average result of the channel response power on one path component; a linear average result of the channel response power on multiple path components; a linear average result of the channel response power on all path components.

[0163] The measurement result types of perceptual reference signals include at least one of the following: Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio (SINR), Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), and Reference Signal Received Path Power (RSRPP). RSRP is a parameter representing wireless signal strength, SINR is the ratio of the strength of the received useful signal to the strength of the received noise and interference, RSRQ is the ratio of RSRP to the received signal strength indication (RSSI), and RSRPP is defined as the linear average of the channel response power of the resource elements of the reference signal configured for measurement on the i-th path component, where i is a positive integer.

[0164] For example, when the RSRP transmitted by the first perception transmitting node 101 is -100 deciBel relative to one milliwatt, dBm, and the thirteenth threshold is -80 dBm, the RSRP transmitted by the first perception transmitting node 101 is less than the thirteenth threshold, the measurement start condition is met, and the second perception reference signal is measured.

[0167] The first transmission delay is the transmission delay corresponding to the path of the perception reference signal reflected from the first perception transmitting node 101 through the perception target to the perception receiving node 100.

[0168] Exemplarily, the fourteenth threshold is 60 milliseconds, and the first transmission delay is 100 milliseconds, which is greater than the fourteenth threshold. The measurement start condition is met, and the second perception reference signal is measured.

[0173] The first area corresponds to the position of the first sensing transmitting node 101.

[0174] Exemplarily, when the position of the sensing target leaves the first area corresponding to the position of the first sensing transmitting node 101 , the starting condition is met and the sensing reference signal transmitted by the second sensing transmitting node 102 is measured.

[0175] (4) The starting conditions related to the first sensing distance between the transmitting node 101 and the receiving node 100 include:

[0176] The distance between the first sensing transmitting node 101 and the sensing receiving node 100 is greater than the fifteenth threshold.

[0177] Exemplarily, the fifteenth threshold is 100 meters, and the distance between the first perception transmitting node 101 and the perception receiving node 100 is 200 meters, which is greater than the fifteenth threshold. The startup condition is met, and the perception reference signal transmitted by the second perception transmitting node 102 is measured.

[0178] (5) The starting conditions related to the distance between the first sensing transmitting node 101 and the sensing target include:

[0179] The distance between the first sensing transmitting node 101 and the sensing target is greater than the sixteenth threshold.

[0181] Step 470: The sensing receiving node 100 switches from the first sensing transmitting node 101 to the second sensing transmitting node 102 when the switching condition is met.

[0182] In this embodiment, the switching condition is used to indicate that the sensing reference signal transmitted by the first sensing transmitting node is worse than the sensing reference signal transmitted by the second sensing transmitting node.

[0218] For example, when the position of the perception target moves from the first area corresponding to the position of the first perception transmitting node 101 to the second area corresponding to the position of the second perception transmitting node 102, the switching condition is met and the device switches from the first perception transmitting node 101 to the second perception transmitting node 102.

[0283] The radio electromagnetic wave signals used by cellular networks are not only used for wireless data transmission and communication, but also for environmental perception. A sensing transmitting node sends a radio electromagnetic wave signal to a sensing target. A sensing receiving node receives and measures the radio electromagnetic wave signal reflected by the sensing target to obtain perception results such as the target's speed, direction of movement, and shape.

[0284] However, the sensing target, sensing transmitting node, and sensing receiving node may all be mobile. When the sensing environment changes, for example, when the distance between the sensing target and the sensing transmitting node increases, the quality of the radio electromagnetic wave signal received by the sensing receiving node may decrease, resulting in discontinuity of the wireless sensing service. To this end, the present application provides a node switching method.

After sensing target 103 leaves the sensing area, the quality of the radio electromagnetic wave signal received by sensing receiving node 100 degrades. The radio electromagnetic wave signal includes a sensing reference signal.

The sensing target 103 is within the sensing area of ​​the first sensing transmitting node 101. The sensing receiving node 100 receives at least one of sensing reference signal configuration information of the candidate sensing transmitting node, a switching condition of the candidate sensing transmitting node, a measurement start condition of the candidate sensing transmitting node, and a sensing reference signal transmitted by the first sensing transmitting node 101. The above information is sent by the first sensing transmitting node 101 to the sensing target 103 and then reflected to the sensing receiving node 100.

[0346] Location-related switching conditions;

[0347] Switching conditions related to transmission delay;

[0348] Distance-related switching conditions.

[0349] (1) The handover condition related to the measurement result of the sensory reference signal includes at least one of the following:

[0350] A measurement result of a sensing reference signal transmitted by the first sensing transmitting node 101 is less than a first threshold;

[0353] A difference between a measurement result of the sensing reference signal transmitted by the second sensing transmitting node 102 and a measurement result of the sensing reference signal transmitted by the first sensing transmitting node 101 is greater than a third threshold.

[0354] For example, when the first threshold is -80dBm and the RSRP transmitted by the first sensing transmitting node 101 is -100dBm, which is less than the first threshold, the switching condition is met, and the node is switched from the first sensing transmitting node 101 to the second sensing transmitting node 102 .

[0359] The first area corresponds to the position of the first sensing transmitting node 101 , and the second area corresponds to the position of the second sensing transmitting node 102 .

[0360] For example, as shown in Figure 1, when the position of the perception target 103 moves from the first area corresponding to the position of the first perception transmitting node 101 to the second area corresponding to the position of the second perception transmitting node 102, the switching condition is met and the device switches from the first perception transmitting node 101 to the second perception transmitting node 102.

[0366] Among them, the first transmission delay is the transmission delay corresponding to the path of the perception reference signal reflected from the first perception transmitting node through the perception target to the perception receiving node, and the second transmission delay is the transmission delay corresponding to the path of the perception reference signal reflected from the second perception transmitting node through the perception target to the perception receiving node.

[0367] Exemplarily, the sixth threshold is 0, the first transmission delay is 100 milliseconds, the second transmission delay is 50 milliseconds, and the difference of 50 milliseconds is greater than 0, which meets the switching condition and switches from the first perception transmitting node 101 to the second perception transmitting node 102.

[0368] (4) Distance-related handover conditions include at least one of the following:

[0369] The distance between the sensing receiving node 100 and the first sensing transmitting node 101 is greater than a seventh threshold;

[0370] The distance between the sensing receiving node 100 and the second sensing transmitting node 102 is less than an eighth threshold;

[0371] The distance between the sensing receiving node 100 and the first sensing transmitting node 101 is greater than a seventh threshold, and the distance between the sensing receiving node 100 and the second sensing transmitting node 102 is less than an eighth threshold;

[0372] The difference between the distance between the sensing receiving node 100 and the first sensing transmitting node 101 and the distance between the sensing receiving node 100 and the second sensing transmitting node 102 is greater than a ninth threshold;

[0373] The distance between the sensing target 103 and the first sensing transmitting node 101 is greater than a tenth threshold;

[0374] The distance between the sensing target 103 and the second sensing transmitting node 102 is less than an eleventh threshold;

[0375] The distance between the sensing target 103 and the first sensing transmitting node 101 is greater than the tenth threshold, and the distance between the sensing target 103 and the second sensing transmitting node 102 is less than the eleventh threshold;

[0376] The difference between the distance between the sensing target 103 and the first sensing transmitting node 101 and the distance between the sensing target 103 and the second sensing transmitting node 102 is greater than a twelfth threshold.

[0377] Exemplarily, the ninth threshold is 0, the distance between the perception receiving node 100 and the first perception transmitting node 101 is 100 meters, the distance between the perception receiving node 100 and the second perception transmitting node 102 is 50 meters, and the difference of 50 meters is greater than 0. The switching condition is met, and the switch is made from the first perception transmitting node 101 to the second perception transmitting node 102.

[0378] In some embodiments, when there are multiple candidate sensing transmitting nodes, the sensing receiving node 100 selects the second sensing transmitting node 102 from the multiple candidate sensing transmitting nodes that meet the switching condition based on a selection condition, where the selection condition includes at least one of the following:

[0379] The candidate sensing transmitting node with the largest measurement result of the sensing reference signal;

[0380] The candidate sensing transmitting node with the smallest transmission delay corresponding to the path where the reference signal is reflected from the candidate sensing transmitting node through the sensing target 103 to the sensing receiving node 100;

[0381] The candidate sensing transmitting node with the smallest distance to the sensing receiving node 100;

[0382] The candidate sensing transmitting node with the shortest distance to the sensing target 103;

[0383] Any candidate sensing transmitting node.

[0384] Exemplarily, the candidate sensing transmitting nodes include a second sensing transmitting node 102 and a third sensing transmitting node. In the transmission delay corresponding to the path of the sensing reference signal reflected from the candidate sensing transmitting node through the sensing target 103 to the sensing receiving node 100, the transmission delay corresponding to the second sensing transmitting node 102 is 30 milliseconds, and the transmission delay corresponding to the third sensing transmitting node is 60 milliseconds. The transmission delay corresponding to the second sensing transmitting node 102 is the smallest, and the second sensing transmitting node 102 is selected.

[0385] When the switching condition information is met, the sensing receiving node 100 stops measuring the first sensing transmitting node 101.

[0386] Optionally, the sensing receiving node 100 sends a first notification to the first sensing transmitting node 101, where the first notification is used to notify the first sensing transmitting node 101 to stop transmitting the sensing reference signal, thereby stopping measurement of the first sensing transmitting node 101;

[0387] Optionally, the perception receiving node 100 sends a second notification to the second perception transmitting node 102, where the second notification is used to notify the second perception transmitting node 102 that the perception receiving node 100 chooses to use the second perception transmitting node 102 to perform perception measurement, thereby stopping measurement of the first perception transmitting node 101.

[0388] The above method is intended for situations where information such as the speed, moving direction, and location of the perception target 103 needs to be obtained. In some embodiments, environmental information such as road conditions and greening construction needs to be obtained. As shown in Figure 2, the perception target carries a perception receiving node 100, and the entire perception receiving node 100 performs perception and reception. Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of a node switching method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application, which is performed by the perception receiving node 100.

[0389] Figure 2 includes a perception receiving node 100, a first perception transmitting node 101 and a second perception transmitting node 102, wherein the positions of the first perception transmitting node 101 and the second perception transmitting node 102 do not move, and the position of the perception receiving node 100 moves.

[0390] When the sensing target carries a sensing receiving node, the distance between the sensing target and the sensing receiving node is zero. That is, in the aforementioned node switching method, the object represented by the sensing target and the object represented by the sensing receiving node are the same. Because the node switching method for scenarios where the sensing target carries a sensing receiving node shares the same principles as the node switching method for scenarios where the sensing target and sensing receiving node are separate, it will not be further described here.

[0391] To sum up, the method provided in this embodiment switches from the first perception transmitting node to the second perception transmitting node when the switching conditions are met, so that the signal quality received by the perception receiving node remains in a good state, ensuring that the perception service can be continuous and the perception target in a continuously moving state can be perceived.

[0392] The method provided in this embodiment further selects a suitable candidate sensing transmitting node by measuring a sensing reference signal transmitted by at least one candidate sensing transmitting node when a measurement start condition is met.
