[0261] In some embodiments, the first network device can determine tenth information, wherein the tenth information is used to indicate information of a terminal receiving the sensing signal, and determine the first information according to the tenth information. That is to say, the tenth information can be used to describe information of one or more terminals receiving the sensing signal.

[0262] In some embodiments, the tenth information includes at least one of the following: a terminal identifier; an identifier of an access network device serving the terminal; a cell identifier of the terminal; and a sensing signal reception indication. In this way, the other network device can determine one or more terminals receiving the sensing signal.

[0263] The terminal identifier can be used to uniquely identify a terminal. The number of terminal identifiers can be one or more, and different terminal identifiers are used to identify different terminals. The access network device serving the terminal, for example, a base station serving a UE. The identifier of the access network device serving the terminal can be used to uniquely identify the access network device serving the terminal. The cell identifier of the terminal can be used to uniquely identify a cell of the terminal.

[0264] In step S2102, the first network device sends the first information to the terminal.

[0265] In some embodiments, the first network device can receive one or more first information sent by the second network device, and perform resource configuration related operations for the terminal to receive the sensing signal according to the first information. For example, if the first network device receives one first information, it can perform resource configuration related operations corresponding to the terminal indicated by the first information based on the first information. If the first network device receives multiple first information, it can perform resource configuration related operations corresponding to the terminal indicated by each first information based on each first information respectively, without limitation.

[0266] In some embodiments, the NG-RAN node can perform resource configuration related operations according to the first information.

[0267] In some embodiments, the DU can perform resource configuration related operations according to the first information.

[0268] In some embodiments, the RU can perform resource configuration related operations according to the first information.

[0269] In some embodiments, the base station can perform resource configuration related operations according to the first information.

[0270] In some embodiments, the resource configuration related operations can include: configuring the terminal to receive the sensing signal through signaling and / or configuring the terminal to report the sensing measurement result through signaling.

[0271] In some embodiments, the first network device can send the first information to the terminal to configure the terminal to receive the sensing signal and / or configure the terminal to report the sensing measurement result. The first information can be carried by signaling, without limitation.

[0272] In some embodiments, the first network device can use the first signaling (which can contain the first information) to configure the terminal to receive the sensing signal. And / or the first network device can use the second signaling (which can also contain the first information) to configure the terminal to report the sensing measurement result. The sensing measurement result can be the measurement result obtained by the terminal based on the received sensing signal. Wherein, "configuring the terminal to receive the sensing signal" can mean, for example, instructing the terminal to receive the sensing signal, triggering the terminal to receive the sensing signal, etc., and "configuring the terminal to report the sensing measurement result" can mean, for example, instructing the terminal to report the sensing measurement result, triggering the terminal to report the sensing measurement result, etc., without limitation.

[0273] In some embodiments, the first network device can configure some resource configuration information for the terminal to receive the sensing signal based on the first information, and subsequently trigger the terminal to receive the sensing signal when receiving the activation signaling.

[0274] In some embodiments, the first network device can configure some resource configuration information for deactivating the terminal to receive the sensing signal based on the first information, and subsequently, when receiving the deactivation signaling, can trigger the terminal to deactivate the reception of the sensing signal.

[0275] In some embodiments, the first network device can directly send the first information to the terminal.

[0276] In some embodiments, the first network device can send the first information to the terminal in a transparent manner. In this way, it can be effectively applied to the individualized sensing architecture, and improve the flexibility of sensing control.

[0277] In some embodiments, if the first network device sends the first information to the terminal in a transparent manner, the second network device can also send third information to the first network device, wherein the third information is used to inform the first network device to reserve the sensing signal resource of the terminal. The first network device can determine to reserve the sensing signal resource for the terminal to receive the sensing signal based on the third information. In this way, it can ensure that the sensing signal resource of the terminal is reserved in time, and ensure that the terminal can correctly configure the reception of the sensing signal.

[0278] That is to say, if the first network device sends the first information to the terminal in a non-transparent manner, the first network device can explicitly determine to reserve the sensing signal resource of the terminal based on the first information, and if the first network device sends the first information to the terminal in a transparent manner (in the transparent manner, the second network device transmits the first information to the terminal through the first network device), in this case, the first network device can not know the specific content of the first information, and then the second network device can send the third information to the first network device to indicate that the sensing signal resource of the terminal needs to be reserved to the first network device, so as to ensure that the terminal can correctly configure the reception of the sensing signal.

[0279] In some embodiments, the resource configuration related operation can also include reserving the sensing signal resource of the terminal, and performing a resource allocation operation, wherein the resource allocation operation is used to allocate the first resource for the sensing signal. That is to say, the first network device can reserve the sensing signal resource of the terminal based on the first information, and / or perform the resource allocation operation based on the first information, wherein the resource allocation operation is used to allocate the first resource for the sensing signal. In this way, it can support the on-demand configuration of sensing, and can flexibly and effectively configure the terminal to receive the sensing signal, greatly improve the sensing performance, and can also be applied to the individualized sensing scenario.

[0280] In some embodiments, the first network device can reserve the sensing signal resource (e.g., time domain resource and / or frequency domain resource) of the terminal to avoid interference. For example, the "reserved sensing signal resource of the terminal" can be understood as that the first network device will not allocate the corresponding resource to other terminal devices or for other signal transmission.

[0281] In some embodiments, the first network device can perform a resource allocation operation, where the resource allocation operation is used to allocate the first resource for the sensing signal. That is, the resource allocation operation can allocate a specific first resource for the terminal. In addition, a second resource can be allocated for other services (non-sensing services), and the first resource and the second resource are different resources. Thus, the first network device can avoid interference between resources through reasonable resource allocation, that is, the first resource corresponding to the sensing signal will not be used for other services.

[0282] In step S2103, the terminal configures the reception of the sensing signal based on the first information.

[0283] In some embodiments, the first network device sends the first information to the terminal, and the terminal can receive the first information and configure the reception of the sensing signal based on the first information.

[0284] For example, the terminal can determine to receive the sensing signal and / or determine to report the sensing measurement result based on the first information. And / or, the terminal can configure the resource for receiving the sensing signal and / or configure the resource for reporting the sensing measurement result based on the first information. And / or, the terminal configures the resource for deactivating the reception of the sensing signal based on the first information, and the like, which are not limited.

[0285] In step S2104, the first network device sends second information to the second network device.

[0286] The second information is used to indicate the configuration result of the terminal receiving the sensing signal.

[0287] In some embodiments, the first network device can send the second information to the second network device, which can be, for example, feedback information of the first information, used to indicate the configuration result of the terminal receiving the sensing signal to the second network device. For example, configuration success or configuration failure, and the like, so that the second network device can timely adjust the configuration strategy to ensure that the terminal can correctly receive the sensing signal.

[0288] In step S2105, the second network device sends fourth information to the first network device.

[0289] The fourth information is used to activate the terminal to receive the sensing signal and / or activate the terminal to report the sensing measurement result.

[0290] In some embodiments, after the first network device configures the terminal to receive the sensing signal, the second network device can also activate the terminal to receive the sensing signal and / or activate the terminal to report the sensing measurement result by sending the fourth information to the first network device.

[0291] In some embodiments, the SF network element can send the fourth information to the NG-RAN node.

[0292] In some embodiments, the CU can send the fourth information to the DU.

[0293] In some embodiments, the DU can send the fourth information to the RU.

[0294] In some embodiments, the DU can send the fourth information to the RU.

[0295] In some embodiments, the base station (other base station) can send the fourth information to the base station (serving the terminal).

[0296] In some embodiments, the fourth information can also be referred to as information for activating the terminal to receive the sensing signal.

[0297] In some embodiments, the fourth information includes at least one of the following: an activated sensing signal type; an activated sensing signal resource identifier; an activation time. In this way, the activation accuracy can be effectively improved, on-demand activation can be realized, the sensing flexibility can be further improved, and the sensing application scenarios can be effectively expanded.

[0298] For example, the activated sensing signal type is, for example, semi-persistent (Semi-persistent) or aperiodic (Aperiodic). The activated sensing signal resource identifier is used to indicate the activation of a specific sensing signal resource. The activation time is used to indicate the start time of the activation of the sensing signal.

[0299] In step S2106, the first network device sends the fourth information to the terminal.

[0300] In some embodiments, the first network device can send the underlying signaling to the terminal, for example, the fourth information can be included in the underlying signaling, to activate the terminal to receive the sensing signal and / or activate the terminal to report the sensing measurement result based on the fourth information.

[0301] In some embodiments, the first network device can receive the fourth information sent by the second network device, and activate the terminal to receive the sensing signal based on the fourth information.

[0302] In some embodiments, if the fourth information includes an activated sensing signal type, the first network device can activate the terminal to receive the sensing signal of the corresponding sensing signal type.

[0303] In some embodiments, if the fourth information contains the activated sensing signal resource identifier, the first network device can activate the terminal to receive the sensing signal corresponding to the corresponding sensing signal resource identifier.

[0304] In some embodiments, if the fourth information contains the activation time, the first network device can activate the terminal to receive the sensing signal when the current time reaches the activation time.

[0305] In step S2107, the terminal activates the reception of the sensing signal and / or activates the reporting of the sensing measurement result according to the fourth information.

[0306] In some embodiments, the terminal can receive the fourth information sent by the first network device, and based on the content contained in the fourth information, the terminal can be activated to receive the sensing signal, or the terminal can be activated to report the sensing measurement result, or the terminal can be activated to receive the sensing signal and activated to report the sensing measurement result, and there is no limitation.

[0307] In step S2108, the first network device sends the fifth information to the second network device.

[0308] The fifth information is used to indicate the result of the activation.

[0309] In some embodiments, the first network device can send the fifth information to the second network device to indicate the result of the activation to the second network device. The result of the activation can be, for example, activation success or activation failure, etc. Thus, the result of the activation can be fed back to the second network device in time, and the practicability of the sensing control can be improved.

[0310] In step S2109, the second network device sends the sixth information to the first network device.

[0311] The sixth information is used to deactivate the terminal to receive the sensing signal and / or deactivate the terminal to report the sensing measurement result.

[0312] The sixth information is used to deactivate the terminal to receive the sensing signal and / or deactivate the terminal to report the sensing measurement result.

[0313] In some embodiments, after the first network device configures the terminal to receive the sensing signal, the second network device can also deactivate the terminal to receive the sensing signal and / or deactivate the terminal to report the sensing measurement result by sending the sixth information to the first network device.

[0314] In some embodiments, the SF network element can send the sixth information to the NG-RAN node.

[0315] In some embodiments, the CU can send the sixth information to the DU.

[0316] In some embodiments, the DU can send the sixth information to the RU.

[0317] In some embodiments, the DU can send the sixth information to the RU.

[0318] In some embodiments, the base station (other base station) can send the sixth information to the base station (serving the terminal).

[0319] In some embodiments, the sixth information can also be referred to as information for deactivating terminal sensing signal reception.

[0320] In some embodiments, the sixth information includes at least one of the following: deactivated sensing signal resource identifier; deactivation indication, wherein the deactivation indication is used to indicate to stop receiving all sensing signals; stop reporting indication, wherein the stop reporting indication is used to indicate to stop reporting sensing measurement results. In this way, the accuracy of deactivation can be effectively improved, on-demand deactivation can be realized, sensing flexibility can be further improved, and sensing application scenarios can be effectively expanded.

[0321] For example, the deactivated sensing signal resource identifier is used to indicate to stop receiving specific sensing resources (i.e., sensing resources corresponding to the sensing signal resource identifier). The deactivation indication is used to indicate to stop receiving all sensing signals. The stop reporting indication is used to indicate to stop reporting sensing measurement results.

[0322] Step S2110, the first network device sends the sixth information to the terminal.

[0323] In some embodiments, the first network device can achieve deactivation of the terminal receiving sensing signals and / or deactivation of the terminal reporting sensing measurement results based on the sixth information by sending signaling to the terminal, such as including the sixth information in the signaling.

[0324] In some embodiments, the first network device can achieve on-demand deactivation of the terminal receiving sensing signals and / or deactivation of the terminal reporting sensing measurement results according to the content included in the sixth information.

[0325] In some embodiments, if the sixth information includes the deactivated sensing signal resource identifier, the first network device can instruct the terminal to stop receiving specific sensing resources; if the sixth information includes the deactivation indication, the first network device can instruct the terminal to stop receiving all sensing signals; if the sixth information includes the stop reporting indication, the first network device can instruct the terminal to stop reporting sensing measurement results.

[0326] Step S2111, the terminal deactivates receiving sensing signals and / or deactivates reporting sensing measurement results according to the sixth information.

[0327] In some embodiments, the terminal can receive the sixth information sent by the first network device, and based on the content contained in the sixth information, implement deactivation of receiving the sensing signal, or deactivation of reporting the sensing measurement result, or deactivation of both receiving the sensing signal and reporting the sensing measurement result, without limitation.

[0328] In step S2112, the first network device sends seventh information to the second network device.

[0329] The seventh information is used to indicate the result of deactivation.

[0330] In some embodiments, the first network device can send the seventh information to the second network device to indicate the result of deactivation to the second network device. The result of deactivation may, for example, be deactivation success or deactivation failure, etc. Thus, the result of deactivation can be fed back to the second network device in a timely manner, and the practicality of sensing control is improved.

[0331] The sensing control method according to the embodiments of the present disclosure can include at least one of steps S2101-S2112. For example, step S2101 can be implemented as an independent embodiment, step S2102 can be implemented as an independent embodiment, and so on, but is not limited thereto. Steps S2101+S2102 can be implemented as an independent embodiment, steps S2101+S2102+S2103 can be implemented as an independent embodiment, but are not limited thereto.

[0332] In the present embodiment or example, each step can be independently combined or exchanged in order, and optional modes or examples can be combined arbitrarily, and can be combined with any step of other embodiments or other examples.

Thus, the terminal receiving the sensing signal is configured, activated and deactivated, which can greatly improve the sensing performance and support the expansion of sensing application scenarios.

[0334] It should be noted that the description of the above-mentioned corresponding or same terms and method steps in the following embodiments can be referred to the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0335] FIG. 2B is an interaction diagram of a sensing control method according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2B, the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a sensing control method, which can be used in the communication system 100, and the above method comprises the following steps:

[0336] In step S2201, the first network device sends the ninth information to the third network device in a transparent manner.

[0337] The ninth information is used to notify the third network device of the information of the terminal receiving the sensing signal.

[0338] In the embodiment, the third network device is specifically, for example, another base station, and the "another base station" refers to a base station different from the base station serving the terminal.

In this way, the other network device can determine one or more terminals receiving the sensing signal.
