Similarly, if the descriptive object is a "level," the ordinal numbers preceding "level" in "first level" and "second level" do not restrict the priority between "levels." Furthermore, the number of descriptive objects is not limited by ordinal numbers and can be one or more. For example, in "first device," the number of "devices" can be one or more.

[0195] Figure 1A is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 1A, the communication system 100 may include a terminal 101 and a network device 102.

The processes and information interactions between these internal interfaces can be implemented by software or programs.

[0200] In some embodiments, the access network device may be composed of a central unit (CU) and a distributed unit (DU). The CU may also be called a control unit. The CU-DU structure can separate the protocol layer of the access network device. Some protocol layer functions are centrally controlled by the CU, while the remaining part or all protocol layer functions are distributed in the DU and centrally controlled by the CU. However, this is not the only possibility.

[0201] In some embodiments, the core network equipment may be a single device, multiple devices, or a group of devices. The core network may include at least one of the following: Evolved Packet Core (EPC), 5G Core Network (5GCN), and Next Generation Core (NGC).

As those skilled in the art will know, with the evolution of system architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solutions proposed in this disclosure are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0203] The following embodiments of this disclosure can be applied to the communication system 100 shown in FIG1A, or to some of the main bodies, but are not limited thereto. The main bodies shown in FIG1A are examples. The communication system may include all or some of the main bodies in FIG1A, or it may include other main bodies outside of FIG1A. The number and form of each main body are arbitrary. Each main body may be physical or virtual. The connection relationship between the main bodies is an example. The main bodies may not be connected or may be connected. The connection can be in any way, it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection, it can be a wired connection or a wireless connection.

[0205] In some embodiments of this disclosure, by transmitting and receiving sensing signals, the gNB / UE can sense information such as the distance, speed, and angle of the target / environment, and obtain information about the surrounding target / environment for scenarios such as drone detection, intrusion detection, intelligent transportation, and smart factories.

[0206] Figure 1B is a schematic diagram illustrating a sensing mode according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 1B, the related art includes six sensing modes: TRP-to-TRP bi-static (dual-station), TRP mono-static (single-station), TRP-to-UE bi-static, UE-to-TRP bi-static, UE-to-UE bi-static, and UE mono-static.

[0207] When receiving sensing signals, the sensing channel passing through the target channel and the sensing channel passing through the background channel can be received simultaneously.

[0208] In some embodiments, the target channel refers to the channel containing target information, that is, the sensing signal is received by the receiver (receiving end) after passing through the target.

[0209] In some embodiments, the background channel refers to a channel that does not contain target information, meaning that the sensing signal is received by the receiver without passing through the target.

[0210] Figure 1C is a channel schematic diagram according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 1C, the target channel includes the channel consisting of the link from the transmitter to the target (Tx-target) and the link from the target to the receiver (target-Rx). For the background channel, in mono-static sensing mode, it refers to the channel through which the sensed signal is reflected to the receiver via a cluster; in bi-static sensing mode, it includes the channel through which the sensed signal is reflected to the receiver via a cluster and the channel directly from Tx to Rx. Here, RCS stands for Radar Cross Section, LOS stands for Line of Sight, NLOS stands for Non-Line of Sight, the target-specific channel component can be called the target-specific channel component, and the background channel component can be called the background channel component.

[0211] In some embodiments, when determining the transmission power of the sensing signal, the intended use of the sensing signal must be considered: for sensing a target. In this case, the transmission power of the sensing signal must fully consider the attenuation of the sensing signal after passing through the target in order to determine an appropriate transmission power that meets the sensing performance requirements.

[0212] In some embodiments, when the UE performs sensing and communication simultaneously, the power coordination between sensing signals and communication signals needs to be considered.

[0213] In some embodiments, a reference signal, such as a Synchronization Signal / PBCH (Physical Broadcast Channel) Block (SSB) or a Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS), can be configured to measure and acquire the path loss of the communication signal.

[0214] In some embodiments, the reference signal received power (RSRP) is calculated based on the average received power of the reference signal on the resource element (RE) and the transmit power P of the reference signal. C Determine the road loss value PL C For P C -RSRP.

[0215] In some embodiments, the transmit power P of the communication signal is determined based on power configuration parameters (which may include parameters agreed upon by the protocol, configured at higher levels, or dynamically indicated). tx1 An example is shown in formula (1):

[0216] Among them, P CMAX P0 is the maximum transmit power supported by the UE, and M is the target receive power. RB This represents the number of RBs used in the signal, with a subcarrier spacing of SCS#1 (in kHz), and μ taking the value of SCS#1 / 15–1; α is the path loss scaling factor, PL is the path loss value, Δ is the power offset value determined according to the modulation scheme and channel coding rate, and f TPC It is a dynamically adjusted power.

[0217] In some embodiments, the power configuration parameters include the UE's maximum transmit power, target receive power P0, number of RBs used in the signal and subcarrier spacing SCS, path loss scaling factor α, modulation scheme and channel coding rate, and dynamic power adjustment amount.

[0218] In some embodiments, when the UE transmits multiple communication signals simultaneously, the transmission power of each communication signal is determined in the manner described above. There may be a situation where the sum of the transmission powers of multiple communication signals exceeds the maximum transmission power of the UE. In this case, one or more communication signals can be discarded, or the power of one or more communication signals can be reduced, so that the sum of the transmission powers of multiple communication signals does not exceed the maximum transmission power of the UE.

[0219] In some embodiments, the signal power calculation and signal drop / reduction methods do not take into account the differences between the sensed signal and the communication signal:

[0220] The path loss calculation of communication signals takes into account the received power of the reference signal, while the sensing performance of the sensing signal is mainly determined by the received power of the target channel, where the target channel refers to the channel containing the target information.

[0221] When the UE transmits sensing signals and communication signals simultaneously, or transmits multiple sensing signals simultaneously, the specific method of signal discarding / power reduction is undetermined.

[0222] Figure 2A is an interactive schematic diagram illustrating a communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2A, the embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a communication method, which includes:

[0223] This method may include:

[0224] Step S2101: Network device 102 sends first information to terminal 101.

[0225] In some embodiments, terminal 101 receives first information sent by network device 102, but is not limited thereto. Terminal 101 may also receive first information sent by other entities, in which case step S2101 may be omitted.

[0226] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 obtains the first information specified by the protocol, in which case step S2101 can be omitted.

[0227] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 obtains the first information from the upper layer(s), in which case step S2101 can be omitted.

[0228] In some embodiments, the first information includes at least one of the following: a first reference signal and a second reference signal.

[0229] In some embodiments, network device 102 sends a first reference signal to terminal 101, and terminal 101 determines a first transmit power of the first signal based on the first reference signal.

[0230] In some embodiments, network device 102 sends a second reference signal to terminal 101, and terminal 101 determines the second transmission power of the second signal based on the second reference signal.

[0231] In some embodiments, network device 102 sends a first reference signal and a second reference signal to terminal 101. Terminal 101 determines a first transmission power of the first signal based on the first reference signal and a second transmission power of the second signal based on the second reference signal.

[0232] In some embodiments, network device 102 sends second information to terminal 101, and terminal 101 adjusts the first transmission power and / or the second transmission power according to the second information.

[0233] In some embodiments, the first signal is a sensing signal.

[0234] In some embodiments, the second signal is a sensing signal or a communication signal.

[0235] In some embodiments, the sensing signal may be, for example, a signal used to sense information such as distance, speed, and angle of a target / environment.

[0236] In some embodiments, the communication signal may be, for example, a signal other than the sensing signal transmitted between the network device 102 and the terminal 101.

[0237] In some embodiments, the first reference signal may be, for example, an SSB, a CSI-RS, a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS), a UL Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS), or a DL DMRS. This disclosure does not limit the type of the first reference signal.

[0238] In some embodiments, the second reference signal may be, for example, an SSB, a CSI-RS, an SRS, a UL DMRS, or a DL DMRS. This disclosure does not limit the type of the second reference signal.

[0239] Step S2102: Terminal 101 determines the first path loss value of the first signal based on the first reference signal.

[0240] In some embodiments, after receiving the first reference signal sent by the network device 102, the terminal 101 can measure the first reference signal and determine the first path loss value through the method of the relevant protocol, which will not be elaborated here.

[0241] In some embodiments, after receiving a first reference signal sent by a network device 102, the terminal 101 determines a second path loss value and / or a third path loss value of the first signal based on the first reference signal, and determines the first path loss value based on the second path loss value and / or the third path loss value.

[0242] In some embodiments, the second path loss value is the path loss value of the target channel.

[0243] In some embodiments, the target channel is the channel through which the first reference signal reaches the receiver after passing through the sensing target.

[0244] In some embodiments, the target channel may be a channel containing target information, wherein the target may be, for example, a sensed object. As shown in the dual-station sensing mode in Figure 1C, the target channel includes a channel composed of a Tx-target link and a target-Rx link, and the second path loss value is the path loss value of the channel composed of the Tx-target link and the target-Rx link.

[0245] In some embodiments, the third path loss value is the path loss value between the transmitter and receiver of the first reference signal. As shown in the bi-station sensing mode of Figure 1C, the third path loss value is the path loss value of Tx-Rx.

[0246] In some embodiments, terminal 101 measures the first reference signal to obtain a first RSRP of the first reference signal and an average transmit power of the first reference signal on an RE, and determines the second path loss value based on the first RSRP and the average transmit power of the first reference signal on an RE.

[0247] In some embodiments, the first RSRP is the average received power of the first reference signal in the target channel.

[0248] In some embodiments, the first RSRP includes at least one of the following:

[0249] The average received power of the first reference signal on the RE in the target channel;

[0250] The average received power of the direct path of the first reference signal in the target channel on the RE;

[0251] The average received power of the first reference signal at the i-th path delay in the target channel on the RE, where i is an integer greater than 0.

[0252] In some embodiments, the direct path is a path composed of a first LOS path and a second LOS path. The first LOS path is the LOS path between the transmitter and the sensing target, and the second LOS path is the LOS path between the sensing target and the receiver. As shown in FIG1C, the first LOS path is the LOS path between Tx and target, and the second LOS path is the LOS path between target and Rx.

[0253] In some embodiments, "direct path of the first reference signal" can be understood as the first reference signal propagating from the transmitter to the receiver via the first LOS path and the second LOS path after passing through the target.

[0254] In some embodiments, the first reference signal at the first path delay in the target channel is the first reference signal on the first detected path in the time domain of the target channel.

[0255] It should be understood that the first reference signal at the i-th path delay in the target channel is the first reference signal on the i-th detected path in the time domain of the target channel.

[0256] In some embodiments, the first RSRP may be determined based on one or more path delays among the i path delays of the target channel, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0257] In some embodiments, the specific content included in the first RSRP may be a protocol pre-defined, higher-level configuration, or dynamic indication, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0258] In some embodiments, RSRP is L1-RSRP.

[0259] In some embodiments, RSRP is HigherlayerfilteredRSRP obtained by filtering L1-RSRP.

[0260] It should be noted that the method for obtaining HigherlayerfilteredRSRP can be found in the relevant protocol documentation, and will not be elaborated here.

[0261] In some embodiments, after the terminal 101 measures the average transmit power of the first RSRP and the first reference signal on a RE, it can use the difference between the average transmit power of the first reference signal on a RE and the first RSRP as the second path loss value.

[0262] For example, terminal 101 calculates the second path loss value using formula (2): PL2=Pref–RSRP1 (2)

[0263] Wherein, PL2 is the second path loss value, Pref is the average transmit power of the first reference signal RS1 on one RE, and RSRP1 is the first RSRP.

[0264] In some embodiments, terminal 101 measures the first reference signal to obtain a second RSRP of the first reference signal and an average transmit power of the first reference signal on a RE, and determines a third path loss value based on the second RSRP and the average transmit power of the first reference signal on a RE.

[0265] In some embodiments, the second RSRP is the average received power of the first reference signal on the RE.

[0266] In some embodiments, after the terminal 101 measures the average transmit power of the second RSRP and the first reference signal on a RE, it can use the difference between the average transmit power of the first reference signal on a RE and the second RSRP as the third path loss value.

[0267] For example, terminal 101 calculates the third path loss value using formula (3): PL3=Pref–RSRP2 (3)

[0268] Wherein, PL3 is the third path loss value, Pref is the average transmit power of the first reference signal RS2 on one RE, and RSRP2 is the second RSRP.

[0269] In some embodiments, the first reference signal used to determine the second path loss value and the third path loss value includes one or more, and RS1 and RS2 can be any one of them.

[0270] In some embodiments, the first reference signal RS1 used to determine the second path loss value and the first reference signal RS2 used to determine the third path loss value can be the same signal or different signals, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0271] In some embodiments, terminal 101 determines the first path loss value by at least one of the following:

[0272] Use the second path loss value as the first path loss value;

[0273] Use the third path loss value as the first path loss value;

[0274] The first path loss value is determined based on the second path loss value, the third path loss value, the first weight, and the second weight.

[0275] The first path loss value is determined based on the second path loss value and the first path loss offset.

[0276] The first path loss value is determined based on the third path loss value and the second path loss offset.

[0277] The first path loss value is determined based on the second path loss value, the third path loss value, the first weight, the second weight, and the third path loss offset.

[0278] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 uses the calculated second path loss value PL1 as the first path loss value.

[0279] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 uses the calculated third path loss value PL2 as the first path loss value.

[0280] In some embodiments, terminal 101 calculates the first path loss value based on the second path loss value, the third path loss value, the first weight, and the second weight using formula (4): PL1=a*PL2+b*PL3 (4)

[0281] Wherein, PL1 is the first path loss value, a is the first weight, and b is the second weight.

[0282] In some embodiments, a and b are real numbers.

[0283] In some embodiments, a and b are protocol predefined, high-level configurations, or dynamic indications, which are not limited in this disclosure.

[0284] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 uses the sum of the second path loss value and the first path loss offset as the first path loss value.

[0285] In some embodiments, the first path loss offset is predetermined by the protocol, configured by a higher layer, or dynamically indicated; this disclosure does not limit this.

[0286] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 uses the sum of the third path loss value and the second path loss offset as the first path loss value.

[0287] In some embodiments, the second path loss offset is predetermined by the protocol, configured by a higher layer, or dynamically indicated; this disclosure does not limit this.

[0288] In some embodiments, terminal 101 calculates the first path loss value using formula (5) based on the second path loss value, the third path loss value, the first weight, the second weight, and the third path loss offset: PL1=a*PL2+b*PL3+offset (5)

[0289] Here, offset is the third path loss offset.

[0290] In some embodiments, offset is a real number.

[0291] In some embodiments, offset is a protocol predefined, a higher-level configuration, or a dynamic indication, which is not limited in this disclosure.

[0292] Step S2103: Terminal 101 determines the first transmission power of the first signal based on the first path loss value.

[0293] In some embodiments, terminal 101 determines a first transmit power based on the first path loss value and the third information.

[0294] In some embodiments, the third information includes at least one of the following:

[0295] The maximum transmit power of terminal 101;

[0296] Target received power;

[0298] The number of resource blocks (RBs) used by the first signal;

[0299] Road loss ratio factor;

[0300] Power offset value;

[0301] Dynamic power adjustment amount.

[0302] In some embodiments, the maximum transmit power of terminal 101 can be understood as the maximum transmit power supported by terminal 101.

[0303] In some embodiments, the target received power is the received power desired by the receiver.

[0304] In some embodiments, the power offset value is determined based on the modulation scheme and the channel coding rate.

[0305] In some embodiments, the method for determining the power offset value can be found in the relevant protocol documentation, and will not be elaborated here.

[0306] In some embodiments, the third information includes the maximum transmit power of terminal 101 as agreed upon in the protocol.

[0307] In some embodiments, the information configured at higher layers in the third information includes at least one of the following: target received power, subcarrier spacing used by the first signal, number of RBs used by the first signal, path loss scaling factor, modulation scheme, and channel coding rate.

[0308] In some embodiments, the information in the third information includes at least one of the following: the number of RBs used by the first signal, the amount of dynamic power adjustment, the modulation scheme, and the channel coding rate.

[0309] In some embodiments, the amount of dynamic power adjustment is indicated by network device 102.

[0310] In some embodiments, network device 102 may send at least one of the following to terminal 101: the number of RBs used in the first signal, the amount of dynamic power adjustment, the modulation scheme, and the channel coding rate.

[0311] In some embodiments, terminal 101 can calculate the first transmit power using formula (6):

[0312] Where P1 is the first transmission power, P CMAX P0 is the maximum transmit power of terminal 101, and M is the target receive power. RB1 The first signal uses RBs, μ1 is set to SCS#1 / 15–1, SCS#1 is the subcarrier spacing used by the first signal in kHz, α is the path loss scaling factor, PL1 is the first path loss value, Δ is the power offset value, and f TPC This is the dynamic power adjustment amount.

[0313] Step S2104: Terminal 101 determines the fourth path loss value of the second signal based on the second reference signal.

[0314] In some embodiments, if the second signal is a communication signal, the terminal 101 can determine the fourth path loss value of the second signal based on the second reference signal according to the relevant protocol.

[0315] In some embodiments, if the second signal is a communication signal, the second reference signal and the first reference signal may be the same signal or different signals, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0316] In some embodiments, if the second signal is a sensing signal, the terminal 101 can refer to the method for determining the first path loss value of the first signal in step S2102 to determine the fourth path loss value of the second signal, which will not be described again here.

[0317] In some embodiments, if the second signal is a sensing signal, the second reference signal and the first reference signal can be the same signal or different signals, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0318] Step S2105: Terminal 101 determines the second transmission power of the second signal based on the fourth path loss value.

[0319] In some embodiments, terminal 101 can calculate the second transmit power using formula (7):

[0356] In one implementation, the priority of the dynamically indicated first signal and the priority of the second signal are higher than the priority of the first signal and the priority of the second signal configured by the higher layer. For example, if the priority of the first signal configured by the higher layer is equal to the priority of the second signal, and the priority of the dynamically indicated first signal is higher than the priority of the second signal, then terminal 101 adopts the approach of prioritizing the first signal over the second signal.

[0357] In some embodiments, the first factor may be a first reduction factor or a first scaling factor.

[0358] In some embodiments, the first scaling factor may be a protocol agreement, a high-level configuration, or a dynamic indication, and this disclosure does not limit this aspect.

[0359] In some embodiments, the second factor may be a second reduction factor or a second scaling factor.

[0360] In some embodiments, the second scaling factor may be a protocol agreement, a high-level configuration, or a dynamic indication, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0361] In some embodiments, the name of the first information is not limited, and it may be, for example, "power configuration information" or "power configuration parameters".

[0362] In some embodiments, the name of the second information is not limited, and it may be, for example, "power reduction configuration information" or "power reduction configuration parameters".

[0363] In some embodiments, after the terminal 101 determines the first transmit power of the first signal and the second transmit power of the second signal, it can determine whether the first signal and the second signal overlap in the time domain. The time domain positions of the first signal and the second signal can be determined according to higher-level configuration / dynamic indication.

[0364] In some embodiments, terminal 101 determines that the first signal and the second signal overlap in the time domain, and that the sum of the first transmit power and the second transmit power is greater than the maximum transmit power of terminal 101, and adjusts the first transmit power and / or the second transmit power according to the second information.

[0365] In some embodiments, when terminal 101 determines that the first signal and the second signal overlap in the time domain, it can determine whether the sum of the first transmit power and the second transmit power is greater than the maximum transmit power of terminal 101. If the sum of the first transmit power and the second transmit power is greater than the maximum transmit power of terminal 101, it is determined that the first transmit power and / or the second transmit power is required.

[0366] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 adjusts the first transmit power and / or the second transmit power by at least one of the following:

[0367] The first signal has a higher priority than the second signal, so the second transmission power is adjusted.

[0368] The first signal has a lower priority than the second signal, so the first transmission power is adjusted.

[0369] Adjust the first transmission power and / or the second transmission power based on the third and fourth transmission powers.

[0370] In some embodiments, "adjusting the second transmission power" can be understood as adjusting the second transmission power without adjusting the first transmission power.

[0371] In some embodiments, "adjusting the first transmission power" can be understood as adjusting the first transmission power without adjusting the second transmission power.

[0372] In some embodiments, the first signal and the second signal overlap in the time domain, and the sum of the first transmit power and the second transmit power is greater than the maximum transmit power of terminal 101 (P1+P2>P). CMAX If the priority of the first signal is higher than that of the second signal, then the second transmission power is adjusted.

[0373] In some embodiments, adjusting the second transmit power includes at least one of the following:

[0374] Set the second transmission power to 0;

[0375] The sum of the first transmission power and the fourth transmission power is less than or equal to the maximum transmission power of terminal 101. The difference between the maximum transmission power of terminal 101 and the first transmission power is taken as the second transmission power.

[0376] In some embodiments, "setting the second transmit power to 0" can be understood as discarding the second signal. In this case, without adjusting the first transmit power, the performance of the first signal can be guaranteed.

[0377] In some embodiments, the fourth transmit power is the minimum transmit power required to transmit the second signal, and the fourth transmit power can be determined based on a second factor.

[0378] In some embodiments, if the second factor is a second reduction factor, the fourth transmit power can be calculated using formula (8): P4 = P2 - xScale#2 (8)

[0379] Wherein, P1 is the second transmit power, P4 is the fourth transmit power, and xScale#2 is the second reduction factor.

[0380] In some embodiments, the second reduction factor may be a protocol agreement, a high-level configuration, or a dynamic indication, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0381] In some embodiments, if the second factor is a second scaling factor, the fourth transmit power can be calculated using formula (9): P4 = c#2 * P2 (9)

[0382] Where c#2 is the second scaling factor.

[0383] It should be noted that the second transmission power in formulas (8) and (9) is the second transmission power before adjustment.

[0384] It should be understood that the sum of the first transmission power and the fourth transmission power is less than or equal to the maximum transmission power of terminal 101, indicating that the maximum transmission power of terminal 101 is sufficient to transmit the first signal at the first transmission power and the second signal at the fourth transmission power.

[0385] In some embodiments, if P1 + P4 ≤ P CMAX Then P1′=P1 (the first transmission power remains unchanged), P2′=P CMAX -P1. Where P1′ is the adjusted first transmit power and P2′ is the adjusted second transmit power.

[0386] It should be understood that in P1 + P4 = P CMAX At that time, P CMAX -P1 = P4 can be understood as not adjusting the first transmission power and using the fourth transmission power as the second transmission power. In this way, the second signal can be transmitted while prioritizing the performance of the first signal.

[0387] It should be understood that in P1+P4 <P CMAX At that time, P CMAX -P1>P4 can be understood as not adjusting the first transmission power, and using the transmission power other than the first transmission power from the maximum transmission power of terminal 101 as the second transmission power. In this way, while prioritizing the performance of the first signal, the performance loss of the second signal can be minimized.

[0388] In some embodiments, P1′ = P1 (the first transmit power remains unchanged), P2′ = P CMAX -P1. Where P1′ is the adjusted first transmit power, and P2′ is the adjusted second transmit power. This can be understood as not adjusting the first transmit power, and using the transmit power other than the first transmit power from the maximum transmit power of terminal 101 as the second transmit power. In this way, the power of the second signal is determined after prioritizing the performance of the first signal. When the second signal is not transmitted, the probability of successful demodulation of the second signal is 0. When the transmit power of the second signal is less than the fourth transmit power, the probability of successful demodulation of the second signal decreases, but remains greater than 0. In this case, the performance of the second signal is better than when the second signal is not transmitted.

[0389] In some embodiments, adjusting the first transmit power includes at least one of the following:

[0390] Set the first transmit power to 0;

[0391] The sum of the second and third transmission powers is less than or equal to the maximum transmission power of terminal 101. The difference between the maximum transmission power and the second transmission power of terminal 101 is taken as the first transmission power.

[0392] In some embodiments, "setting the first transmit power to 0" can be understood as discarding the first signal. In this case, without adjusting the second transmit power, the performance of the second signal can be guaranteed.

[0393] In some embodiments, the third transmit power is the minimum transmit power required to transmit the first signal, and the third transmit power can be determined based on a first factor.

[0394] In some embodiments, if the first factor is a first reduction factor, the third transmit power can be calculated using formula (10): P3 = P1 - xScale#1 (10)

[0395] Wherein, P1 is the first transmit power, P3 is the third transmit power, and xScale#1 is the first reduction factor.

[0396] In some embodiments, the first reduction factor may be a protocol agreement, a high-level configuration, or a dynamic indication, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0397] In some embodiments, if the first factor is a first scaling factor, the third transmit power can be calculated using formula (11): P3 = c#1 * P1 (11)

[0398] Wherein, c#1 is the first scaling factor.

[0399] It should be noted that the first transmission power in formulas (10) and (11) is the first transmission power before adjustment.

[0400] It should be understood that the sum of the second transmission power and the third transmission power is less than or equal to the maximum transmission power of terminal 101, indicating that the maximum transmission power of terminal 101 is sufficient to transmit the second signal at the second transmission power while simultaneously transmitting the first signal at the third transmission power.

[0401] In some embodiments, if P2 + P3 ≤ P CMAX Then P2′=P2 (the second transmission power remains unchanged), P1′=P CMAX -P2. Where P1′ is the adjusted first transmit power and P2′ is the adjusted second transmit power.

[0402] It should be understood that in P2 + P3 = P CMAX At that time, P CMAX -P2 = P3 can be understood as not adjusting the second transmission power and using the third transmission power as the first transmission power. In this way, the first signal can be transmitted while prioritizing the performance of the second signal.

[0403] It should be understood that in P2+P3 <P CMAX At that time, P CMAX -P2>P3 can be understood as not adjusting the second transmission power, and using the transmission power other than the second transmission power from the maximum transmission power of terminal 101 as the first transmission power. In this way, while prioritizing the performance of the second signal, the performance loss of the first signal can be minimized.

[0404] In some embodiments, P2′=P2 (the second transmission power remains unchanged), P1′=P CMAX -P2. Where P1′ is the adjusted first transmit power, and P2′ is the adjusted second transmit power. This can be understood as not adjusting the second transmit power, and using the transmit power other than the second transmit power from the maximum transmit power of terminal 101 as the first transmit power. In this way, the power of the first signal is determined after prioritizing the performance of the second signal. When the first signal is not transmitted, the probability of successful demodulation of the first signal is 0. When the transmit power of the first signal is less than the third transmit power, the probability of successful demodulation of the first signal decreases, but remains greater than 0. In this case, the performance of the first signal is better than when the first signal is not transmitted.

[0405] In some embodiments, adjusting the first transmission power and / or the second transmission power according to the third transmission power and the fourth transmission power includes at least one of the following:

[0406] The sum of the third and fourth transmission powers is greater than the maximum transmission power of terminal 101. Therefore, the first transmission power is set to 0, and the second transmission power is set to min{fourth transmission power, P}. CMAX} or set to min{second transmit power, P CMAX}, min{} indicates selecting the smaller value;

[0407] The sum of the third and fourth transmission powers is greater than the maximum transmission power of terminal 101. Therefore, the second transmission power is set to 0, and the first transmission power is set to min{the third transmission power, P}. CMAX} or set to min{first transmit power, P CMAX};

[0408] If the sum of the third and fourth transmission powers is less than or equal to the maximum transmission power of terminal 101, perform at least one of the following:

[0409] The third transmission power is used as the first transmission power, and the fourth transmission power is used as the second transmission power;

[0410] The third transmission power is used as the first transmission power, and the power difference between the maximum transmission power of terminal 101 and the third transmission power is used as the second transmission power;

[0411] The fourth transmission power is used as the second transmission power, and the power difference between the maximum transmission power of terminal 101 and the fourth transmission power is used as the first transmission power.

[0412] It should be understood that the sum of the third and fourth transmission powers is greater than the maximum transmission power of terminal 101, indicating that the maximum transmission power of terminal 101 cannot simultaneously transmit the first and second signals.

[0413] In some embodiments, if P3 + P4 > P CMAX Then P1′=0 (first transmit power set to 0), P2′=0 (second transmit power set to 0). Where P1′ is the adjusted first transmit power, and P2′ is the adjusted second transmit power.

[0414] In some embodiments, if P3 + P4 > P CMAX And P4≤P CMAX If P1′ = 0, then the second signal is transmitted, and the first signal is discarded. This prioritizes the transmission of the second signal. The second transmission power is set to min{fourth transmission power, P CMAX} or set to min{second transmit power, P CMAX}

[0415] In some embodiments, if P3 + P4 > P CMAX And P3≤P CMAX If P2′ = 0, then the first signal is transmitted, and the second signal is discarded. This prioritizes the transmission of the first signal. The first transmission power is set to min{the third transmission power, P CMAX} or set to min{first transmit power, P CMAX}

[0416] It should be understood that the sum of the third and fourth transmission powers is less than or equal to the maximum transmission power of terminal 101, indicating that the maximum transmission power of terminal 101 is sufficient to simultaneously transmit the first and second signals.

[0417] In some embodiments, if P3 + P4 ≤ P CMAX Then P1′=P3, P2′=P4, meaning that terminal 101 transmits the first signal at the third transmission power and the second signal at the fourth transmission power. In this way, the first and second signals can be transmitted simultaneously.

[0418] In some embodiments, if P3 + P4 ≤ P CMAX Then P1′=P3, P2′=P CMAX-P3 means that terminal 101 transmits the first signal at the third transmission power, and uses the transmission power other than the third transmission power of the maximum transmission power of terminal 101 as the second transmission power. In this way, the first signal can also be transmitted while prioritizing the performance of the second signal.

[0419] In some embodiments, if P3 + P4 ≤ P CMAX Then P2′=P4, P1′=P CMAX -P4 means that terminal 101 transmits the second signal at the fourth transmission power, and uses the transmission power other than the fourth transmission power of the maximum transmission power of terminal 101 as the first transmission power. In this way, the second signal can be transmitted while prioritizing the performance of the first signal.

[0420] In some embodiments, if terminal 101 determines that the first signal and the second signal do not overlap in the time domain, or the sum of the first transmit power and the second transmit power is less than or equal to the maximum transmit power of terminal 101, then the first transmit power and / or the second transmit power are not adjusted, and step S2106 can be omitted.

[0421] For example, if terminal 101 determines that the first signal and the second signal do not overlap in the time domain, then neither the first transmission power nor the second transmission power will exceed the maximum transmission power of terminal 101, and there is no need to adjust the first transmission power and the second transmission power. In this case, step S2106 can be omitted.

[0422] For example, if terminal 101 determines that the sum of the first transmission power and the second transmission power is less than or equal to the maximum transmission power of terminal 101, then there is no need to adjust the first transmission power and the second transmission power, and step S2106 can be omitted.

[0423] Using the above method, when the terminal transmits sensing signals and communication signals simultaneously, or transmits multiple sensing signals simultaneously, it can adjust the transmission power of sensing signals and / or communication signals, thereby achieving a reasonable allocation of power resources for communication signals and sensing signals.

[0475] In some embodiments, the method for determining the power offset value can be found in the relevant protocol documentation, and will not be elaborated here.

[0476] In some embodiments, network device 102 can calculate the first transmit power using formula (6).

[0491] In this case, the first cell is a serving cell and the second cell is a non-serving cell, or the first cell is a primary cell (PCell) or a primary-secondary cell and the second cell is a secondary cell (Scell).

[0492] In some embodiments, the first cell is a serving cell and the second cell is a non-serving cell.

[0493] In some embodiments, the first cell is the primary cell and the second cell is the secondary cell.

[0507] In some embodiments, a first signal is used to sense a first moving target, and a second signal is used to sense a second moving target, wherein the moving speed of the first moving target is higher than the moving speed of the second moving target.

[0508] In some embodiments, a first signal is used to sense a first moving target, and a second signal is used to sense a second moving target, wherein the moving speed of the first moving target is lower than the moving speed of the second moving target.

[0509] In some embodiments, a first signal is used to sense a first category of target, and a second signal is used to sense a second category of target. The first category of target is, for example, a person, and the second category of target is, for example, a vehicle, an animal, etc., but this disclosure does not limit the scope of the embodiments.

[0510] In some embodiments, when the priority of the first signal and the priority of the second signal are configured or indicated in different ways, the different ways may correspond to different priorities.

[0511] In one implementation, the priority of the dynamically indicated first signal and the priority of the second signal are higher than the priority of the first signal and the priority of the second signal configured by the higher layer. For example, if the priority of the first signal configured by the higher layer is equal to the priority of the second signal, and the priority of the dynamically indicated first signal is higher than the priority of the second signal, then terminal 101 adopts the approach of prioritizing the first signal over the second signal.

[0512] In some embodiments, the first factor may be a first reduction factor or a first scaling factor.

[0513] In some embodiments, the first scaling factor may be a protocol agreement, a high-level configuration, or a dynamic indication, and this disclosure does not limit this aspect.

[0514] In some embodiments, the second factor may be a second reduction factor or a second scaling factor.

[0515] In some embodiments, the second scaling factor may be a protocol agreement, a high-level configuration, or a dynamic indication, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0516] In some embodiments, the name of the first information is not limited, and it may be, for example, "power configuration information" or "power configuration parameters".

[0517] In some embodiments, the name of the second information is not limited, and it may be, for example, "power reduction configuration information" or "power reduction configuration parameters".

[0518] In some embodiments, when terminal 101 determines that the first signal and the second signal overlap in the time domain, it can determine whether the sum of the first transmit power and the second transmit power is greater than the maximum transmit power of terminal 101. If the sum of the first transmit power and the second transmit power is greater than the maximum transmit power of terminal 101, it is determined that the first transmit power and / or the second transmit power is required.

[0519] In some embodiments, the network device 102 adjusts the first transmit power and / or the second transmit power by at least one of the following:

[0520] The first signal has a higher priority than the second signal, so the second transmission power is adjusted.

[0521] The first signal has a lower priority than the second signal, so the first transmission power is adjusted.

[0522] Adjust the first transmission power and / or the second transmission power based on the third and fourth transmission powers.

[0523] In some embodiments, "adjusting the second transmission power" can be understood as adjusting the second transmission power without adjusting the first transmission power.

[0524] In some embodiments, "adjusting the first transmission power" can be understood as adjusting the first transmission power without adjusting the second transmission power.

[0525] In some embodiments, the first signal and the second signal overlap in the time domain, and the sum of the first transmit power and the second transmit power is greater than the maximum transmit power of terminal 101 (P1+P2>P). CMAX If the priority of the first signal is higher than that of the second signal, then the second transmission power is adjusted.

[0526] In some embodiments, adjusting the second transmit power includes at least one of the following:

[0527] Set the second transmission power to 0;

[0528] The sum of the first transmission power and the fourth transmission power is less than or equal to the maximum transmission power of terminal 101. The difference between the maximum transmission power of terminal 101 and the first transmission power is taken as the second transmission power.

[0529] In some embodiments, "setting the second transmit power to 0" can be understood as discarding the second signal. In this case, without adjusting the first transmit power, the performance of the first signal can be guaranteed.

[0530] In some embodiments, the fourth transmit power is the minimum transmit power required to transmit the second signal, and the fourth transmit power can be determined based on a second factor.

[0531] In some embodiments, if the second factor is a second reduction factor, the fourth transmit power can be calculated using formula (8).

[0532] In some embodiments, the second reduction factor may be a protocol agreement, a high-level configuration, or a dynamic indication, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0533] In some embodiments, if the second factor is a second proportional factor, the fourth transmit power can be calculated using formula (9).

[0534] It should be noted that the second transmission power in formulas (8) and (9) is the second transmission power before adjustment.

[0535] It should be understood that the sum of the first transmission power and the fourth transmission power is less than or equal to the maximum transmission power of terminal 101, indicating that the maximum transmission power of terminal 101 is sufficient to transmit the first signal at the first transmission power and the second signal at the fourth transmission power.

[0536] In some embodiments, if P1 + P4 ≤ P CMAX Then P1′=P1 (the first transmission power remains unchanged), P2′=P CMAX -P1. Where P1′ is the adjusted first transmit power and P2′ is the adjusted second transmit power.

[0537] It should be understood that in P1 + P4 = P CMAX At that time, P CMAX -P1 = P4 can be understood as not adjusting the first transmission power and using the fourth transmission power as the second transmission power. In this way, the second signal can be transmitted while prioritizing the performance of the first signal.

[0538] It should be understood that in P1+P4 <P CMAX At that time, P CMAX -P1>P4 can be understood as not adjusting the first transmission power, and using the transmission power other than the first transmission power from the maximum transmission power of terminal 101 as the second transmission power. In this way, while prioritizing the performance of the first signal, the performance loss of the second signal can be minimized.

[0539] In some embodiments, P1′ = P1 (the first transmit power remains unchanged), P2′ = P CMAX -P1. Where P1′ is the adjusted first transmit power, and P2′ is the adjusted second transmit power. This can be understood as not adjusting the first transmit power, and using the transmit power other than the first transmit power from the maximum transmit power of terminal 101 as the second transmit power. In this way, the power of the second signal is determined after prioritizing the performance of the first signal. When the second signal is not transmitted, the probability of successful demodulation of the second signal is 0. When the transmit power of the second signal is less than the fourth transmit power, the probability of successful demodulation of the second signal decreases, but remains greater than 0. In this case, the performance of the second signal is better than when the second signal is not transmitted.

[0540] In some embodiments, adjusting the first transmit power includes at least one of the following:

[0541] Set the first transmit power to 0;

[0542] The sum of the second and third transmission powers is less than or equal to the maximum transmission power of terminal 101. The difference between the maximum transmission power and the second transmission power of terminal 101 is taken as the first transmission power.

[0543] In some embodiments, "setting the first transmit power to 0" can be understood as discarding the first signal. In this case, without adjusting the second transmit power, the performance of the second signal can be guaranteed.

[0544] In some embodiments, the third transmit power is the minimum transmit power required to transmit the first signal, and the third transmit power can be determined based on a first factor.

[0545] In some embodiments, if the first factor is a first reduction factor, the third transmit power can be calculated by formula (10).

[0546] In some embodiments, the first reduction factor may be a protocol agreement, a high-level configuration, or a dynamic indication, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0547] In some embodiments, if the first factor is a first proportional factor, the third transmit power can be calculated by formula (11).

[0548] It should be noted that the first transmission power in formulas (10) and (11) is the first transmission power before adjustment.

[0549] It should be understood that the sum of the second transmission power and the third transmission power is less than or equal to the maximum transmission power of terminal 101, indicating that the maximum transmission power of terminal 101 is sufficient to transmit the second signal at the second transmission power while simultaneously transmitting the first signal at the third transmission power.

[0550] In some embodiments, if P2 + P3 ≤ P CMAX Then P2′=P2 (the second transmission power remains unchanged), P1′=P CMAX -P2. Where P1′ is the adjusted first transmit power and P2′ is the adjusted second transmit power.

[0551] It should be understood that in P2 + P3 = P CMAX At that time, P CMAX -P2 = P3 can be understood as not adjusting the second transmission power and using the third transmission power as the first transmission power. In this way, the first signal can be transmitted while prioritizing the performance of the second signal.

[0552] It should be understood that in P2+P3 <P CMAX At that time, P CMAX-P2>P3 can be understood as not adjusting the second transmission power, and using the transmission power other than the second transmission power from the maximum transmission power of terminal 101 as the first transmission power. In this way, while prioritizing the performance of the second signal, the performance loss of the first signal can be minimized.

[0553] In some embodiments, P2′=P2 (the second transmission power remains unchanged), P1′=P CMAX -P2. Where P1′ is the adjusted first transmit power, and P2′ is the adjusted second transmit power. This can be understood as not adjusting the second transmit power, and using the transmit power other than the second transmit power from the maximum transmit power of terminal 101 as the first transmit power. In this way, the power of the first signal is determined after prioritizing the performance of the second signal. When the first signal is not transmitted, the probability of successful demodulation of the first signal is 0. When the transmit power of the first signal is less than the third transmit power, the probability of successful demodulation of the first signal decreases, but remains greater than 0. In this case, the performance of the first signal is better than when the first signal is not transmitted.

[0554] In some embodiments, adjusting the first transmission power and / or the second transmission power according to the third transmission power and the fourth transmission power includes at least one of the following:

[0555] The sum of the third and fourth transmission powers is greater than the maximum transmission power of terminal 101. Therefore, the first transmission power is set to 0, and the second transmission power is set to min{fourth transmission power, P}. CMAX} or set to min{second transmit power, P CMAX}, min{} indicates selecting the smaller value;

[0556] The sum of the third and fourth transmission powers is greater than the maximum transmission power of terminal 101. Therefore, the second transmission power is set to 0, and the first transmission power is set to min{the third transmission power, P}. CMAX} or set to min{first transmit power, P CMAX};

[0557] If the sum of the third and fourth transmission powers is less than or equal to the maximum transmission power of terminal 101, perform at least one of the following:

[0558] The third transmission power is used as the first transmission power, and the fourth transmission power is used as the second transmission power;

[0559] The third transmission power is used as the first transmission power, and the power difference between the maximum transmission power of terminal 101 and the third transmission power is used as the second transmission power;

[0560] The fourth transmission power is used as the second transmission power, and the power difference between the maximum transmission power of terminal 101 and the fourth transmission power is used as the first transmission power.

[0561] It should be understood that the sum of the third and fourth transmission powers is greater than the maximum transmission power of terminal 101, indicating that the maximum transmission power of terminal 101 cannot simultaneously transmit the first and second signals.

[0562] In some embodiments, if P3 + P4 > P CMAX Then P1′=0 (first transmit power set to 0), P2′=0 (second transmit power set to 0). Where P1′ is the adjusted first transmit power, and P2′ is the adjusted second transmit power.

[0563] In some embodiments, if P3 + P4 > P CMAX And P4≤P CMAX If P1′ = 0, then the second signal is transmitted, and the first signal is discarded. This prioritizes the transmission of the second signal. The second transmission power is set to min{fourth transmission power, P CMAX} or set to min{second transmit power, P CMAX}

[0564] In some embodiments, if P3 + P4 > P CMAX And P3≤P CMAX If P2′ = 0, then the first signal is transmitted, and the second signal is discarded. This prioritizes the transmission of the first signal. The first transmission power is set to min{the third transmission power, P CMAX} or set to min{first transmit power, P CMAX}

[0565] It should be understood that the sum of the third and fourth transmission powers is less than or equal to the maximum transmission power of terminal 101, indicating that the maximum transmission power of terminal 101 is sufficient to simultaneously transmit the first and second signals.

[0566] In some embodiments, if P3 + P4 ≤ P CMAX Then P1′=P3, P2′=P4, meaning that terminal 101 transmits the first signal at the third transmission power and the second signal at the fourth transmission power. In this way, the first and second signals can be transmitted simultaneously.

[0567] In some embodiments, if P3 + P4 ≤ P CMAX Then P1′=P3, P2′=P CMAX-P3 means that terminal 101 transmits the first signal at the third transmission power, and uses the transmission power other than the third transmission power of the maximum transmission power of terminal 101 as the second transmission power. In this way, the first signal can also be transmitted while prioritizing the performance of the second signal.

[0568] In some embodiments, if P3 + P4 ≤ P CMAX Then P2′=P4, P1′=P CMAX -P4 means that terminal 101 transmits the second signal at the fourth transmission power, and uses the transmission power other than the fourth transmission power of the maximum transmission power of terminal 101 as the first transmission power. In this way, the second signal can be transmitted while prioritizing the performance of the first signal.

[0569] In some embodiments, if terminal 101 determines that the first signal and the second signal do not overlap in the time domain, or the sum of the first transmit power and the second transmit power is less than or equal to the maximum transmit power of terminal 101, then the first transmit power and / or the second transmit power are not adjusted, and step S2106 can be omitted.

[0570] For example, if terminal 101 determines that the first signal and the second signal do not overlap in the time domain, then neither the first transmission power nor the second transmission power will exceed the maximum transmission power of terminal 101, and there is no need to adjust the first transmission power and the second transmission power. In this case, step S2106 can be omitted.

[0571] For example, if terminal 101 determines that the sum of the first transmission power and the second transmission power is less than or equal to the maximum transmission power of terminal 101, then there is no need to adjust the first transmission power and the second transmission power, and step S2106 can be omitted.

[0572] Using the above method, when the terminal needs to send sensing signals and communication signals simultaneously, or send multiple sensing signals simultaneously, the network device can adjust the transmission power of the sensing signals and / or communication signals, thereby achieving a reasonable allocation of power resources for communication signals and sensing signals.

[0678] Method 2: P1′=0, P2′=P2.

[0679] In some embodiments, the first sensing signal and the second signal overlap in the time domain, and P1 + P2 > P CMAX When the first sensing signal has a lower priority than the second signal, the first sensing signal can be discarded to ensure the performance of the second signal.

However, when the power is further reduced, the performance of the second signal cannot be guaranteed, so the second signal can be discarded, meaning P2-1 takes the value 0. If P1+P2-2>P CMAX If P2-1 takes the value 0, then even after reducing P2-2, the condition P1+P2-2 ≤ P still cannot be satisfied. CMAX That is, the power of the second signal needs to be further reduced. However, when the power is further reduced, the performance of the second signal cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, P2-1 can be enabled to take the value P. CMAX –P1, compared to the case where P2-1 is 0, the second signal has a certain probability of being correctly demodulated. If P1+P2-2≤P CMAX P2-1=P CMAX –P1, at this point the performance of the second signal is somewhat compromised, but still acceptable.

[0693] In some embodiments, if P1-2+P2>P CMAX If P1-1 takes the value 0, then even after reducing P1-2, the condition P1-2 + P2 ≤ P still cannot be satisfied. CMAX This means the power of the first sensing signal needs to be further reduced. However, when the power is further reduced, the performance of the first sensing signal cannot be guaranteed, so the first sensing signal can be discarded, i.e., P1-1 takes the value 0. If P1-2+P2>P CMAX If P1-1 takes the value 0, then even after reducing P1-2, the condition P1-2 + P2 ≤ P still cannot be satisfied. CMAX That is, the power of the first sensing signal needs to be further reduced. However, when the power is further reduced, the performance of the first sensing signal cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, P1-1 can be enabled to take the value P. CMAX -P2, compared to the case where P1-1 is 0, the first sensing signal has a certain probability of being correctly demodulated. If P1-2+P2≤P CMAX P1-1=P CMAX -P2, at this point the performance of the first sensing signal is somewhat compromised, but still acceptable.

[0699] Method 3-3-2: P1-3 takes the value 0, P2-3 takes the value min{P2-2, P CMAX} or min{P2,P CMAX In this case, the first sensing signal is not sent, but the second sensing signal is sent, which avoids the waste of resources caused by not sending either signal.

[0700] Method 3-3-3: P2-3 takes the value 0, P1-3 takes the value min{P1-2, P CMAX} or min{P1,P CMAX At this point, the first sensing signal is sent, but the second sensing signal is not sent, which avoids wasting resources by not sending either signal.
