[0052] In addition, the embodiments of the present application can be applied to the communication and perception integration scenario, where communication and perception integration refers to the integrated design of communication and perception functions through spectrum sharing and hardware sharing in the same system.

It should be noted that each perception link in Figure 2 is illustrated by taking a sending node and a receiving node as an example. In the actual system, different perception links can be selected according to different perception needs. Each perception link may have one or more sending nodes and one receiving node, and the actual perception system may include a variety of different perception links. In addition, the perception targets in Figure 2 take people and cars as examples, and assuming that people and cars do not carry or install signal receiving / transmitting equipment, the perception targets of the actual scene will be richer.

[0061] In some embodiments, the signaling transmission between the wireless access network device and the terminal, or between different terminals, may be through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling or Medium Access Control Control Element (MAC CE) or Layer 1 signaling or other newly defined perception signaling; the signaling transmission between the perception network function and the terminal may be through Non-Access-Stratum (NAS) signaling (forwarded via AMF) or through RRC signaling or MAC CE or Layer 1 signaling or other newly defined perception signaling; the interaction between the perception network function and the base station may be forwarded to the wireless access network through the N2 interface by the AMF; or the core network perception network function may send it to the UPF, and the UPF may send it to the wireless access network through the N3 interface; or it may be sent to the wireless access network (such as a base station) through a newly defined interface; the signaling transmission between wireless access network devices may be through the Xn interface.
[0062] In some embodiments, the perception network function may also be called a perception network element or a perception management function (Sensing Management Function, Sensing MF), which may be located on the RAN side or the core network side. It refers to a network node in the core network or RAN responsible for at least one function such as perception request processing, perception resource scheduling, perception information interaction, and perception data processing. It may be based on an upgrade of the AMF or LMF in the mobile communication network, or it may be another network node or a newly defined network node. Specifically, the functional characteristics of the perception network function / perception network element may include at least one of the following:

[0064] The perception method to be used is determined based on factors such as the type of perception service, perception service consumer information, required perception service quality (QoS) requirement information, the perception capability of the wireless signal sending device, and the perception capability of the wireless signal measuring device.

[0068] In the following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, a measurement result processing method, a receiving method, an apparatus and a device provided by the embodiments of the present application are described in detail through some embodiments and their application scenarios.
[0069] Please refer to FIG3 , which is a flowchart of a measurement result processing method provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG3 , the method includes the following steps:
[0070] Step 301: A first device obtains a measurement result, where the measurement result includes N perception-related indicators of a first signal, where N is an integer greater than 1.
[0071] The first device may be a terminal or a wireless access network device.
[0072] The first device may obtain the measurement result by receiving the measurement result sent by other devices, such as the measurement result sent by the first device and the second device, or the first device may obtain the measurement result through measurement. For example, the first device may obtain the measurement result by:
[0073] The first device measures the N first signals to obtain the measurement result; or,
[0074] The first device receives the measurement result sent by the second device.
[0075] The first device measuring the N first signals may refer to the first device serving as a receiver of the N first signals, such as the first device measuring the N first signals sent by the second device to obtain the measurement results.
[0076] The above-mentioned first device receiving the measurement results sent by the second device may refer to the above-mentioned first device acting as the sender of the above-mentioned N first signals. For example, the first device sends the above-mentioned N first signals, the second device measures the N first signals, and feeds back the measurement results to the first device.
[0077] In an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned first signal may be a dedicated signal for sensing services, or a communication signal, such as a reference signal or a synchronization signal.
[0078] The dedicated signal for the sensing service may be a sensing signal generated based on a chirp or frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) signal, or a sensing signal generated based on a pseudo-random (PN) sequence or a ZC sequence.
[0079] The reference signal may be a demodulation reference signal (DMRS), a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), a sounding reference signal (SRS), or a positioning reference signal (PRS).
[0080] The synchronization signal may be a primary synchronization signal (PSS) or a secondary synchronization signal (SSS).
[0081] The above-mentioned signal carrying communication data can be a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) or a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), etc.
[0082] The perception-related indicators of the above-mentioned N first signals refer to N perception-related indicators, and these N perception-related indicators correspond one-to-one to the N first signals, that is, each first signal has a corresponding perception-related indicator.
[0083] The perception-related indicator associated with the first signal may be a perception-related indicator obtained through a measurement process based on the first signal, or may be a perception-related indicator obtained during the process of receiving the first signal.
[0084] The above-mentioned perception-related indicators refer to perception-related indicators, such as indicators that affect perception targets or indicators that affect perception measurements.
[0085] Step 302: The first device performs a target operation based on the measurement result, where the target operation includes at least one of the following:
[0086] determining a target signal among the N first signals;
[0087] A target beam is determined among N beams, where the N beams include: N transmit beams of the N first signals, or N receive beams of the N first signals.
[0088] The above-mentioned determination of the target signal among the N first signals refers to determining the optimal signal among the N first signals. Since the receiving beams or transmitting beams of different signals are different, determining the above-mentioned target signal also implicitly determines the optimal transmitting beam or receiving beam, that is, beam management is achieved by selecting the above-mentioned target signal.
[0089] The N transmitting beams indicate that the N first signals are respectively transmitted through the N transmitting beams, and the N receiving beams indicate that the N first signals are respectively received through the N receiving beams.
[0090] The N transmit beams may be N sensing transmit beams or N communication sensing joint transmit beams, and the N receive beams may be N sensing receive beams or N communication sensing joint receive beams. It should be noted that the functions of the beams are not limited in the embodiments of the present application. For example, in addition to transmitting signals for sensing, the sensing transmit beam may also transmit signals for communication, and in addition to receiving signals for sensing, the sensing receive beam may also receive signals for communication.
[0091] The above-mentioned determining the target beam among the N beams may be determining an optimal transmission beam among the above-mentioned N transmission beams, or determining an optimal reception beam among the N reception beams, so as to realize beam management.
[0092] Beam management can be achieved by determining the target signal among the N first signals or determining the target beam among the N beams, that is, beam management is achieved based on the above-mentioned N first signals. Therefore, the above-mentioned first signal can be referred to as a signal used for beam management, such as a signal for perception beam management or communication perception joint beam management, that is, the above-mentioned target beam is used for perception or communication perception combined beam, that is, perception beam management is achieved, or perception beam and communication beam management is achieved, and the above-mentioned first signal can be reused in perception beam and communication beam management to save transmission overhead.
[0093] In an embodiment of the present application, the above steps can be used to achieve a measurement result including perception-related indicators of N first signals, thereby achieving beam management or signal selection based on the perception-related indicators of the N first signals to improve the performance of the device. Specifically, beam management or signal selection can be achieved in a perception scenario or a perception-communication joint scenario to improve the perception performance or communication performance of the device. For example: in a perception scenario or a perception-communication joint scenario, since the target signal or target beam is selected based on perception-related indicators, this can enable the target signal or target beam to have higher perception performance, thereby improving the perception performance.
[0094] As an optional implementation manner, the N first signals include:
[0095] N first signals transmitted using N transmit beams, wherein parameters of the N transmit beams are at least partially different; or
[0096] N first signals sent using transmit beams with the same parameters;
[0097] The parameters include at least one of the following:
[0098] Direction, spatial filter, spatial filter parameters.
[0099] The N first signals sent using N transmission beams refer to sending the N first signals respectively using N beams.
[0100] The parameters of the above-mentioned N transmitting beams may be at least partially different, which means that the parameters of the N transmitting beams may be completely different, or partially different, for example: the transmitting directions are different, but the spatial filters or spatial filtering parameters are the same, or the spatial filters or spatial filtering parameters are different, but the transmitting directions are the same, or the directions, spatial filters and spatial filtering parameters are all different.
[0101] Since the parameters of the N transmit beams are at least partially different, beam management of the N transmit beams can be implemented, such as determining the optimal transmit beam.
[0102] The above-mentioned N first signals sent using the same transmitting beam parameters mean that the parameters of the beams sending the N first signals are the same. Specifically, one beam or multiple beams may be used, and N different receiving beams may be used at the receiving end for measurement to realize beam management of the N beams, such as determining the optimal receiving beam.
[0103] As an optional implementation manner, the perception-related indicator includes at least one of the following:
[0104] Perception indicators related to received power;
[0105] Perceptual metrics related to interference or noise power;
[0106] A perceptual metric related to received power, and also to interference or noise power.
[0107] The above-mentioned received power-related perception indicators may include at least one of the following:
[0108] A perception indicator related to the received power of the first signal and a perception indicator related to the received power of a signal path of the first signal associated with a perception target. For example, the perception indicator related to received power may include: a first indicator, the first indicator being used to indicate the received power of the signal path of the first signal associated with the perception target.
[0109] The signal path associated with the aforementioned perception target may be a signal path affected by the perception target or a signal path passing through the perception target.
[0110] In one of the aforementioned optional embodiments, since the perception-related indicators include perception indicators related to received power, it is possible to determine the target signal or target beam based on received power, thereby making the target signal or target beam more reliable. Alternatively, it is possible to determine the target signal or target beam by sensing the received power of the signal path associated with the target. The received power of the signal path associated with the target can more intuitively reflect signal performance. Therefore, using this first indicator can make the target signal or target beam more reliable.
[0111] In some embodiments, the first indicator may be a linear average value (in W) of the received power of the signal path associated with the perception target in the channel response obtained by measuring the first signal on the resource unit carrying the first signal, and the resource unit is a time domain or frequency domain resource unit. In this way, the received power can be made more accurate and reliable through the linear average value. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application do not limit the received power to a linear average value. For example, in some embodiments, the median received power, the minimum received power, or the maximum received power may also be taken.
[0112] The above-mentioned perception indicator related to interference or noise power may refer to the perception indicator being associated with at least one of interference and noise, such as a perception indicator associated with interference power, a perception indicator associated with noise power, or an interference indicator associated with both interference and noise power.
[0113] In one of the above optional implementations, since the perception-related indicators include perception indicators related to interference or noise power, it is possible to take interference or noise into consideration when determining the target signal or target beam, so that the target signal or target beam is more reliable.
[0114] Optionally, the perception indicator related to the interference or noise power includes at least one of the following:
[0115] a second indicator, where the second indicator is the sum of the linear average of the powers of signal paths other than the signal path associated with the perception target in the channel response of the first signal on the target resource and the linear average of the interference or noise power from signals other than the first signal on the first resource; or, the second indicator is equal to the difference between the total received power and the first indicator, where the total received power is the total received power of the first device on the target resource, or the total received power is the power corresponding to the received signal strength indicator RSSI of the first device on the first resource;
[0116] a third indicator, where the third indicator is a linear average of interference or noise power from signals other than the first signal on the second resource, or the third indicator is equal to a difference between a total received power and a received power of the first signal, where the total received power is the total received power of the first device on the target resource, or the total received power is the power corresponding to the RSSI of the first device on the first resource;

[0119] The above-mentioned other signal paths may be all or part of the signal paths in the first signal except the signal paths associated with the above-mentioned perception target.
[0120] The other signals other than the above-mentioned first signal may refer to all or part of the signals other than the first signal detected by the first device on the first resource.
[0121] The first resource includes the target resource or at least one resource other than the target resource, which means that the first resource includes at least one of the following:
[0122] a target resource, and at least one resource other than the target resource.
[0123] The second resource includes the target resource or at least one resource other than the target resource, which means that the second resource includes at least one of the following:
[0124] a target resource, and at least one resource other than the target resource.
[0125] Among them, the above-mentioned at least one resource other than the target resource may refer to at least one resource other than the target resource among the resources that the first device needs to detect or receive signals, such as resources configured by high-level signaling or resources that the first device predetermines need to detect or receive signals.
[0126] The above-mentioned interference or noise power includes the sum of interference power and noise power, interference power or noise power.
[0127] The total received power of the first device on the target resource may include the received power of signals of the serving cell and the non-serving cell on the target resource, adjacent channel interference power, and thermal noise power. The total received power may also be a linear average (in W) of the total received power of the first device on the target resource.
[0128] The power corresponding to the RSSI of the first device on the first resource may be total received power = RSSI*K1, where K1 is a coefficient and may be a protocol agreement or network configuration. In some implementations, the power corresponding to the RSSI may also be RSSI, i.e., total received power = RSSI.
[0129] The received power of the first signal refers to the RSRP of the first signal.
[0130] The above-mentioned second indicator is equal to the difference between the total received power and the first indicator, which can be expressed as second indicator = total received power - first indicator.

[0133] In the above embodiment, the above second indicator can be used to consider interference or noise from other signal paths other than the signal path associated with the perception target and other signals other than the first signal when determining the target signal or target beam, thereby making the determined target signal or target beam more reliable.
[0134] In the above embodiment, the third indicator can be used to consider interference or noise of other signals besides the first signal when determining the target signal or target beam, so that the determined target signal or target beam can be more reliable.
[0135] In the above embodiment, the fourth indicator can be used to consider the power of other signal paths except the signal path associated with the perception target when determining the target signal or target beam, so that the determined target signal or target beam can be more reliable.
[0136] The above-mentioned perception indicator related to the received power and also related to the interference or noise power means that the perception indicator is related to both the received power and the interference or noise power.
[0137] In one of the above optional embodiments, since the perception-related indicators include perception indicators related to the received power and also related to the interference or noise power, it is possible to take the received power and the interference or noise into consideration when determining the target signal or target beam, so that the determined target signal or target beam is more reliable.
[0138] In some embodiments, the perception indicator related to received power and also related to interference or noise power includes at least one of the following:
[0139] a fifth index, the fifth index being equal to a quotient obtained by dividing the first index by the second index;
[0140] a sixth index, the sixth index being equal to a quotient obtained by dividing the first index by the third index;
[0141] a seventh index, the seventh index being equal to a quotient obtained by dividing the first index by the fourth index;
[0142] an eighth indicator, the eighth indicator being equal to the product of a quotient obtained by dividing the first indicator by the total received power and a target coefficient;
[0143] The first indicator is used to indicate the received power of the signal path of the first signal associated with the perception target, and the total received power is the total received power of the first device on the target resource.
[0144] The first, second, third, and fourth indicators mentioned above refer to the above-mentioned embodiments and are not described in detail here. It should be noted that, when at least one of the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth indicators is included, the perception-related indicators in the embodiments of the present application may include or exclude the first, second, third, and fourth indicators.
[0145] The above target coefficient can be expressed as K2, such as the eighth indicator = K2*first indicator / total received power, K2 is a coefficient, and K2 can be specifically agreed upon in the protocol or configured on the network side.
[0146] In this embodiment, through the above-mentioned fifth indicator, sixth indicator, seventh indicator or eighth indicator, it is possible to take into account the received power and interference or noise when determining the target signal or target beam, so that the determined target signal or target beam is more reliable.
[0147] In some implementations, the aforementioned perception indicator related to received power and also related to interference or noise power may further include at least one of the following:
[0148] Indicators related to perceived SINR, indicators related to perceived SNR, indicators related to perceived signal-to-interference ratio (SIR), and indicators related to perceived RSRQ.
[0149] As an optional implementation manner, the signal path associated with the perception target satisfies at least one of the following:
[0150] The parameter meets the first preset threshold, or the parameter is within the first preset range;
[0151] The parameters meet the preset modulation rules;
[0152] The parameter difference with the first signal path meets the second preset threshold, or the parameter difference with the first signal path is within the second preset range;
[0153] The parameter difference with the reference signal path meets the third preset threshold, or the parameter difference with the reference signal path is within a third preset interval.
[0154] The above parameters may include at least one of the following:
[0155] Amplitude, power, intensity, energy, phase, Doppler, delay, angle;
[0156] The above parameter difference may include at least one of the following:
[0157] Amplitude difference, power difference, intensity difference, energy difference, phase difference, Doppler difference, delay difference, and angle difference.
[0158] The first preset threshold, the first preset interval range, the second preset threshold, the second preset interval range, the third preset threshold, and the third preset interval range may be agreed upon by the protocol or configured on the network side, or these preset thresholds or preset interval ranges are determined by the receiving device based on the perception prior information or perception requirements. The above-mentioned parameter meeting the first preset threshold may mean that the parameter exceeds or is equal to the first preset threshold, the above-mentioned parameter difference with the first-reaching signal path meets the second preset threshold may mean that the parameter difference with the first-reaching signal path exceeds or is equal to the second preset threshold, and the above-mentioned parameter difference with the reference signal path meets the third preset threshold may mean that the parameter difference with the reference signal path exceeds or is equal to the third preset threshold.
[0159] For example: if the perception service is moving target detection, it is necessary to detect the signal path with Doppler greater than zero as the signal path associated with the perception target; or for the traffic scene where the perception target is a car, the default vehicle speed is 40km / h to 120km / h, then the signal path within the corresponding speed range (Doppler range) is detected as the signal path associated with the perception target; or the distance between the perception target area and the perception signal transceiver needs to meet specific requirements, then the signal path within the corresponding time delay range is detected as the signal path associated with the perception target; or if the perception service is respiratory monitoring, the corresponding normal respiratory rate can be judged based on the person's gender and age (for example, 15 to 30 times / minute can be used as perception prior information, and the corresponding Doppler range can be calculated, 0.25 to 0.5Hz).
[0160] The first-arrival signal path may be a line-of-sight (LOS) path, specifically, the signal path of the first signal that first reaches the receiver. The reference signal path may be a signal path reflected by a known target, such as a reconfigurable intelligence surface (RIS), backscatter, or other known passive targets.
[0161] The preset modulation rule may be a protocol agreement or a network-side configuration. The specific modulation rule is a modulation rule of a tag, backscatter device, or RIS, that is, the signal path associated with the sensing target may be a signal path modulated and reflected by the tag, backscatter device, or RIS.
[0162] In one of the above optional implementations, the signal path associated with the perception target can be determined in multiple ways, which can not only improve the flexibility of determining the signal path associated with the perception target, but also improve the accuracy of determining the signal path associated with the perception target based on multiple methods.
[0163] In some implementations, before determining the signal path associated with the perceived target, a signal path set may be determined. The signal path set includes signal paths whose amplitude, power, intensity, or energy exceeds a certain threshold. As shown in FIG4 , the signal path set includes signal paths 0, 1, 2, and 3. The signal path associated with the perceived target is then determined based on at least one of the above items in the signal path set to reduce computational complexity.
[0164] The following example illustrates the calculation of indicators in the embodiment of the present application through an example. It should be noted that the calculation of each indicator in the embodiment of the present application is not limited, and the following example is only an example.
[0165] The first device (such as a terminal) performs channel estimation based on the transmitted first signal X(k) and the received signal Y(k) corresponding to the first signal to obtain a channel response (Channel Response) H(k) = Y(k) / X(k), where k = 0, 1, 2, ..., K-1 represents the resource unit index, and K is the number of resource units. After the first device obtains the channel response H(k), it transforms it into a first dimension and determines the signal path associated with the perception target in the first dimension. The power of the signal path associated with the perception target is then calculated as the first indicator. If the signal path associated with the perception target includes multiple signal paths, the sum of the powers of the multiple signal paths is calculated as the first indicator.
[0166] The first dimension includes one of the following:
[0167] Delay dimension;
[0168] Doplevi;
[0169] Azimuth dimension;
[0170] Pitch angle dimension;
[0171] A dimension that combines at least two of the following: delay, Doppler, azimuth, and elevation dimensions. For example, delay-Doppler, delay-Doppler-angle, etc.
[0172] For example, H(f) is the channel response, where f = 0, 1, 2, ..., N-1 represents the frequency domain sampling point (e.g., subcarrier index), and H(f) can be transformed into the delay dimension (first dimension) by performing an inverse Fourier transform on it. For another example, H(f, t) is the channel response, where f = 0, 1, 2, ..., N-1 represents the frequency domain sampling point (e.g., subcarrier index), and t = 0, 1, 2, ..., M-1 represents the time domain sampling point (e.g., OFDM symbol index), and H(f, t) can be transformed into the time domain dimension by performing an inverse Fourier transform along the frequency domain dimension and a Fourier transform along the time domain dimension. Delay-Doppler dimension (first dimension); for another example, H(f,t,s) is the channel response, where f=0,1,2,…,N-1 represents the frequency domain sampling point (e.g., subcarrier index), t=0,1,2,…,M-1 represents the time domain sampling point (e.g., OFDM symbol index), and s=0,1,2,…,P-1 represents the spatial domain sampling point (antenna index or port index). Then, H(f,t,s) can be transformed into the delay-Doppler-angle dimension (first dimension) by performing an inverse Fourier transform along the frequency domain dimension, a Fourier transform along the time domain dimension, and a Fourier transform along the antenna domain dimension.
[0173] Method for determining a signal path associated with a perception target (referred to as a perception path for short) in a channel response obtained by measuring the first signal:
[0174] Determine the signal path set. The signal paths in the signal path set include those whose amplitude, power, intensity, or energy exceeds a certain threshold among all paths after the channel response is transformed into the first dimension. For example, in Figure 4, signal paths 0, 1, 2, and 3 are the paths in the signal path set; the certain threshold can be set to be higher than the noise threshold or higher than the noise interference threshold, or as agreed upon by the protocol. This step (determining the signal path set) is optional, and the signal path associated with the perception target can be determined based on the next step.
[0175] A signal path that satisfies a first condition is selected from the signal path set or from all signal paths of the first signal as the signal path associated with the sensing target. The first condition includes at least one of the following:
[0176] The amplitude, power, intensity or energy of the signal path exceeds a preset threshold or is within a preset range, such as 5 times the noise threshold;
[0177] The Doppler of the signal path exceeds the preset threshold or is within the preset range;
[0178] The signal path delay exceeds the preset threshold or is within the preset range;
[0179] The angle of the signal path exceeds the preset threshold or is within the preset range;
[0180] The difference in amplitude / power / intensity / energy between the signal path and the first-reach path (e.g., LOS path) or a reference path exceeds a preset threshold or is within a preset range. The reference signal path may be a signal path reflected by a known target (e.g., RIS / backscatter / other known passive targets).
[0181] The Doppler difference between the signal path and the first arrival path (e.g., LOS path) or the reference path exceeds a preset threshold or is within a preset range;
[0182] The delay difference between the signal path and the first arrival path (e.g., LOS path) or the reference path exceeds a preset threshold or is within a preset range;
[0183] The angle difference between the path and the first arrival path (such as LOS path) or the reference path exceeds a preset threshold or is within a preset range;
[0184] The amplitude, power, intensity, energy or phase of the path meets the specific modulation rule. The specific modulation rule is the modulation rule of the tag / backscatter device or RIS. That is, the path associated with the perceived target can be the signal path modulated and reflected by the tag / backscatter device or RIS.
[0185] The above-mentioned first conditions may also be based on statistical results over a period of time; for example, the ratio of the above-mentioned indicators (such as the Doppler of the path, the time delay of the path, etc.) exceeding a preset threshold or being within a preset range in a preset time window reaches a preset ratio, or the number of times the above-mentioned indicators (such as the Doppler of the path, the time delay of the path, etc.) exceed a preset threshold or are within a preset range in a preset time window reaches a preset number of times;
[0186] The preset threshold or preset interval is sent by another device to the receiving device and is determined by the other device based on prior perception information or perception requirements. Alternatively, the preset threshold or preset interval may be a protocol agreement, or the preset threshold or preset interval is determined by the receiving device based on prior perception information or perception requirements.
[0187] The priori perception information or perception requirements include the following information:
[0188] Perception services or perception service types, such as detecting the presence of a target, positioning, speed detection, distance detection, angle detection, acceleration detection, material analysis, component analysis, shape detection, classification, radar cross section RCS (Radar Cross Section, RCS) detection, polarization scattering characteristic detection, fall detection, intrusion detection, population statistics, indoor positioning, gesture recognition, lip reading recognition, gait recognition, expression recognition, facial recognition, respiration monitoring, heart rate monitoring, pulse monitoring, humidity / brightness / temperature / atmospheric pressure monitoring, air quality monitoring, weather condition monitoring, environmental reconstruction, topography, building / vegetation distribution detection, pedestrian or vehicle flow detection, crowd density, vehicle density detection, etc.; the perception service type can be to classify multiple different perception services according to certain characteristics, for example, according to function, it can be divided into detection-type perception services (for example, including intrusion detection, fall detection), parameter estimation-type perception services (distance, angle, speed calculation), recognition-type perception services (motion recognition, identity recognition), etc., and can also be divided according to the range of perception (close-range perception, medium-range perception, long-range perception), according to the degree of perception fineness (coarse-grained perception, fine force perception, etc.), according to power consumption / energy consumption, according to resource occupancy, etc. If the sensing service is respiratory monitoring, the corresponding normal respiratory rate can be determined based on the person's gender and age (for example, male: 13-21 breaths / minute, female: 15-20 breaths / minute; adult: 12-20 breaths / minute, child: approximately 30-40 breaths / minute), which can be used as perception prior information;
[0189] Perception target area: refers to the location area of the perception object, or the location area where imaging or environmental reconstruction is required; for example, the preset interval range of the delay of the signal path associated with the perception target is determined based on the approximate location / distance of the perception object;
[0190] Perception object type: Classifies the perception object according to its possible motion characteristics. Each perception object type contains information such as the typical perception object's motion speed range, motion acceleration range, and typical RCS range.
[0191] The number of perceived targets; for example, the camera perception result is used as a perception prior information to obtain the number of perceived targets.
[0192] For example, in Figure 4, signal paths 0, 1, 2, and 3 are paths in the signal path set, among which signal paths 2 and 3 are perception paths that meet the first condition (for example, their delays meet the preset threshold), and paths 0 and 1 are paths associated with other scatterers.
[0193] In Figure 4, the channel response is a schematic diagram of multiple signal paths in the first dimension (delay dimension, Doppler dimension, azimuth dimension, or elevation angle dimension), where the horizontal axis is the first dimension and the vertical axis is the normalized amplitude, power, intensity or energy.
[0194] For frequency range 1, the reference point for the first metric can be the antenna connector of a receiving device, such as a terminal. For frequency range 1, if the receiving device has multiple receiving channels, the first metric measured and reported by the receiving device cannot be lower than the metric of any single receiving channel. For frequency range 2, the first metric measured for a particular receiving channel requires measuring the combined signals of the multiple antenna elements corresponding to that receiving channel.
[0195] Calculation method 2 of the first indicator:
[0196] When calculating the received power of the signal path associated with the sensing target, it can also be the power of the signal path associated with the sensing target in the first dimension and The difference between is used as the first indicator, where N1 represents the number of signal paths associated with the perception target. is the average power of multiple signal paths outside the signal path set in the first dimension.
[0197] The calculation method of the received power of the first signal is:
[0198] The receiving power of the first signal may be obtained by the receiving device, transforming the channel response (Channel Response) H(k) into the first dimension, determining a signal path set in the first dimension, and then calculating the power sum of all signal paths in the signal path set.
[0199] Method 2 for calculating the received power of the first signal:
[0200] The received power of the first signal can also be the sum of the powers of all signal paths in the signal path set in the first dimension and , where N2 represents the number of signal paths in the signal path set.
[0201] The total received power is calculated as follows:
[0202] Total received power
[0203] Wherein, Y(k) is the received signal corresponding to the first signal, k=0, 1, 2, ..., K-1 represents the resource unit index, and K is the number of resource units.
[0204] The calculation method of the second indicator is:
[0205] The channel response H(k) is processed by the first filter to obtain H filter1 (k), then according to H filter1 (k) and the first signal X(k) to obtain the received signal Y after the first filtering process filter1 (k), that is, Y filter1 (k)=H filter1 (k)X(k). Then the received signal Y(k) is subtracted from the received signal Y after the first filtering process. filter1 (k) Thus we get the interference and noise signal Y σ1 (k), that is, Y σ1 (k) = Y(k) - Y filter1 (k), and then calculate the second indicator:
[0206] The first filtering process is used to eliminate noise and interference in the first dimension and paths not associated with the perceived target. For example, the first filtering process sets the amplitude, power, intensity or energy of all paths other than the signal path associated with the perceived target in FIG4 to zero. The channel response H after the first filtering process is filter1 (k) does not include noise, interference, or paths associated with non-perceived targets, but only includes paths associated with perceived targets.
[0207] Calculation method of the third indicator:
[0208] The channel response H(k) is processed by the second filter to obtain H filter2 (k), then according to H filter2 (k) and the first signal X(k) to obtain the second filtered received signal Y filter2 (k), that is, Y filter2 (k)=H filter2 (k)X(k). Then the received signal Y(k) is subtracted from the received signal Y after the second filtering process. filter2(k) Thus we get the interference and noise signal Y σ2 (k), that is, Y σ2 (k) = Y(k) - Y filter2 (k), and then calculate the third indicator:
[0209] The second filtering process can be a noise interference suppression process in the first dimension (for example, the amplitude, power, intensity or energy of the paths other than the signal path set in FIG4 is set to zero), or a minimum mean square error (MMSE) filter. The channel response H after the second filtering process is filter2 (k) does not include noise and interference, and only includes the paths in the signal path set.
[0210] Calculation method 2 for the third indicator:
[0211] According to the average power of multiple signal paths outside the signal path set in the first dimension Calculate the third index P σ2 ,Right now Where N represents the number of sampling points in the first dimension.
[0212] It should be noted that if the receiving device determines that there are multiple sensing targets, or the receiving device obtains the number of sensing targets based on prior sensing information or sensing requirements, the following methods are available:
[0213] Method 1: Calculate the perception-related indicators (also called perception-related indicators or communication-related indicators) of each perception target separately. For example, in Figure 4, the signal path associated with each perception target is determined separately, and then the perception-related indicators corresponding to each perception target are calculated separately; when calculating the second indicator corresponding to a certain perception target (such as perception target A), there are two methods: namely: the second indicator of perception target A = total received power - the first indicator of perception target A; or, the second indicator of perception target A = total received power - the first indicator of perception target A - the first indicator of perception target B; (assuming there are two perception targets: A and B); similarly, there are two ways to calculate the fourth indicator: the fourth indicator of perception target A = the RSRP of the first signal - the first indicator of perception target A; or, the fourth indicator of perception target A = the RSRP of the first signal - the first indicator of perception target A - the first indicator of perception target B; (assuming there are two perception targets: A and B)
[0214] Method 2: Calculate a perception-related index for multiple perception targets. For example, in Figure 4, determine the signal path associated with any perception target, and then determine these signal paths as signal paths associated with the perception target. This is equivalent to treating multiple perception targets as a virtual perception target and then calculating the perception-related index corresponding to the virtual perception target.
[0215] It should be noted that the above calculation method is only an example, and the embodiments of this application do not limit the specific calculation method of the indicator.

[0218] The perception target information of the at least one first signal may include perception target information of each first signal in the N first signals, or perception target information of the first signal of a specific transmit beam or a specific receive beam.
[0219] The above-mentioned perception target information is used to represent information of the perception target perceived based on the first signal.
[0220] Optionally, the perceived target information includes at least one of the following:
[0221] whether there is an indication of the perceived target;
[0222] The number of perceived targets;
[0223] Parameter information of at least one perception target;

[0225] The above-mentioned whether there is a perception target refers to whether the perception target is measured based on the first signal. In addition, since different first signals are sent or received using different beams, whether there is a perception target can also be understood as whether there is a perception target under the sending beam or receiving beam of the first signal.
[0226] The above-mentioned perception target may be a perception target that meets specific conditions, or the above-mentioned perception target may be a perception target without limiting conditions, that is, all perceived targets belong to this type of perception target.
[0227] In some embodiments, the aforementioned perception target may include a perception target that satisfies at least one of the following:
[0228] The speed meets the preset speed condition, the Doppler meets the preset Doppler condition, the distance meets the preset distance condition, the delay meets the preset delay condition, and the angle meets the preset angle condition.
[0229] At least one of the preset speed condition, preset Doppler condition, preset distance condition, preset delay condition, or preset angle condition may be a protocol agreement or a network-side configuration. These conditions may be thresholds or range conditions, such as meeting a preset range or exceeding a preset threshold.
[0230] The above-mentioned perception target includes the above-mentioned at least one item, which can be feedback on the existence or number of each of the above-mentioned items separately, or feedback on multiple items of the above-mentioned at least one item together, such as feedback on the existence or number of perception targets that meet multiple items of the above-mentioned at least one item. For example, the above-mentioned measurement result includes at least one of the following:
[0231] Whether there is a sensed target within the preset speed / Doppler range, or the number of sensed targets within the preset speed / Doppler range;
[0232] Whether there is a sensing target within the preset distance / delay range, or the number of sensing targets within the preset distance / delay range
[0233] Whether there is a target within the preset angle range, or the number of targets within the preset angle range.
[0234] In some implementations, the sensing target information included in the above-mentioned measurement result may be determined in combination with the sensing requirement information, and the sensing requirement information may be notified by the first device to the second device.
[0235] The parameter information of the at least one perception target may be parameter information fed back individually for the perception target, or parameter information fed back jointly for multiple perception targets.
[0236] In some embodiments, the parameter information of the at least one sensing target may include at least one of the following:
[0237] RCS information, time delay information, distance information, Doppler information, speed information, and angle information.
[0238] Among them, the above-mentioned RCS information, delay information, distance information, Doppler information, speed information or angle information is the RCS information, delay information, distance information, Doppler information, speed information or angle information of a single perception target or multiple perception targets.
[0239] The spectrum information may include at least one of the following:
[0240] Delay power spectrum, Doppler power spectrum, delay / range-Doppler / velocity spectrum, angle power spectrum, delay / range-angle spectrum, Doppler / velocity-angle spectrum, delay / range-Doppler / velocity-angle spectrum.
[0241] In one of the above optional implementations, the above-mentioned perception target information can be used to consider the perception target information in addition to the above-mentioned perception-related indicators when determining the target beam or target signal. This can make the determination of the target beam or target signal more reliable, such as selecting a target beam or target signal with more perception targets and better perception target parameters, so that the target beam or target signal is more reliable.
[0242] The above-mentioned recommendation information refers to the information recommended by the device sending the measurement result for signal or beam selection.
[0243] In some embodiments, the recommendation information includes at least one of the following:
[0244] at least one beam index of the first signal, at least one resource index of the first signal, at least one identifier of the first signal, at least one panel information of the first signal, and at least one antenna information of the first signal.
[0245] The at least one first signal may be a signal indicating better perception performance or communication performance determined by the device sending the measurement result, or the at least one first signal may be a signal expected by the device sending the measurement result.
[0246] The above-mentioned beam index can be a transmitting beam index, a receiving beam index or a beam pair index.
[0247] The resource index indicates the transmission resource of the first signal. The panel information indicates the transmitting panel or receiving panel representing the first signal, where different panels correspond to different first signals, i.e., different directional beams. The antenna information may include transmitting antenna information or receiving antenna information, which may be an antenna or antenna group index, where different antennas or antenna groups correspond to different first signals, i.e., different directional beams.
[0248] In one of the above optional embodiments, the above recommendation information can assist the first auxiliary to better determine the target signal or target beam, and because it is recommended by the device sending the measurement report, the target signal or target beam determined based on the carried information will be more matched with the device or more suitable for the device, so as to improve the performance of the device.

[0296] In addition, the configuration information of the first signal is associated with the perception requirement information, and the association may indicate that the configuration information of the first signal is determined based on the perception requirement information.
[0297] The beam configuration of the N first signals may indicate that the N first signals correspond to perception beams in N different directions, that is, the N first signals are beamformed using different beamforming vectors, and the N beam directions are associated with the perception angle range. For example, the N beam directions are associated with the field of view (FoV). The FoV may be related to the device capability. For a rectangular array:
[0298] Where λ is the wavelength and d is the spacing between antenna elements (antenna arrays).
[0299] For example, for a rectangular array with half-wavelength array elements, the FoV is 180°, that is, the angle with respect to the normal of the antenna panel is ±90°. The angle range corresponding to the N beam directions covers this angle range. The FoV can also be related to the area range that needs to be sensed.

For example, for single-base radar perception: if the velocity direction is considered, the time domain resource interval satisfies ΔT≤1 / (2|f dmax |) or ΔT≤c / (4f c |v max |); If the time domain resource interval in the direction of speed is not considered and satisfies ΔT≤1 / f dmax Or ΔT≤c / (2f c v max ), where f dmax is the maximum unambiguous Doppler, v max is the maximum unambiguous velocity, f c is the carrier frequency and c is the speed of light.

[0310] The above signal resource identifier is used to distinguish different signal resource configurations;
[0311] The signal usage indicates whether the target signal is used for communication (e.g., channel measurement, channel estimation, synchronization, carrying data information, etc.), a signal used for sensing, or a signal used for both communication and sensing. Specifically, it may also indicate which sensing service the signal is used for, or which type of sensing service the signal is used for.

[0316] The guard interval can be the time interval from the moment the signal ends to the moment the latest echo signal of the signal is received. This parameter is proportional to the maximum sensing distance. For example, it can be calculated by c / (2R max ) is calculated, R max is the maximum perception distance (belonging to the perception demand information), such as for the self-transmitted and self-received perception signal, R max Represents the maximum distance between the perceived signal transmission and reception point and the signal reflection point; in some cases, the OFDM signal cyclic prefix (CP) can serve as the minimum guard interval, and c is the speed of light.
[0317] The above-mentioned frequency domain starting position may be a starting frequency point, or a starting resource element (RE) or resource block (RB) index.
[0318] The frequency domain resource length may be a frequency domain bandwidth, which is inversely proportional to the distance resolution. The frequency domain bandwidth of each signal is B≥c / (2ΔR), where c is the speed of light and ΔR is the distance resolution.
[0319] The frequency domain resource spacing represents the spacing between adjacent signal frequency domain resource units and can be expressed as the number of REs or RBs, or as a density value (Density). For example, Density = 1 indicates that there is one RE in each RB used to carry the signal. The frequency domain resource spacing is inversely proportional to the maximum unambiguous distance / delay. For an OFDM system, when subcarriers are mapped continuously, the frequency domain spacing is equal to the subcarrier spacing.

[0435] Configuration information of the first signal. The configuration information of the first signal may be issued in advance or agreed upon by a protocol, and then the first signal configuration identifier is indicated by the first information, for example, the configuration information of the first signal is issued via Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, and the configuration identifier of the first signal is indicated via Layer 1 signaling.
[0436] The configuration information of the first signal is associated with the perception requirement information and may include at least one of the following:
[0437] The N first signals correspond to N perception beams in different directions, that is, the N first signals are beamformed using different beamforming vectors. The N beam directions are associated with the perception angle range. For example, the N beam directions are associated with the field of view (FoV). The FoV may be related to the device capability. For a rectangular array:
[0438] Where λ is the wavelength and d is the spacing between antenna elements (antenna arrays).
[0439] For example, for a rectangular array with half-wavelength array elements, the FoV is 180°, that is, the angle with respect to the normal of the antenna panel is ±90°. The angle range corresponding to the N beam directions covers this angle range. The FoV can also be related to the area range that needs to be sensed. For example, if the area range for sensing target activity based on prior information corresponds to angle range 1, the angle range corresponding to the N beam directions covers this angle range.
[0440] The time domain resource of each first signal includes one or more (>=2) time units, such as multiple OFDM symbols. The multiple time units can be continuous or non-continuous. When multiple time units are included, there are two possibilities:
[0441] 1. The time domain duration corresponding to each first signal or the duration occupied by multiple time units T P (i.e., beam switching period) must satisfy at least one of the following:
[0442] T P ≥c / (2f c Δv), where c is the speed of light, f c is the carrier frequency, Δv is the velocity resolution;
[0443] T P ≥T d , where T d represents the coherent processing time, which satisfies T d ≤ΔR / (2v max ), where ΔR is the distance resolution, v max To sense the maximum target motion speed, or the maximum detectable target speed (for performing Doppler / velocity measurement based on the first signal, and detecting the presence or number of targets using a two-dimensional spectrum or a three-dimensional spectrum);
[0444] 2. The time interval between two adjacent time units in multiple time units. The time domain interval ΔT satisfies the Doppler / velocity unambiguous measurement requirements, and the frequency domain interval Δf satisfies the delay / distance unambiguous measurement requirements. For example, for single-base radar perception: if the velocity direction is considered, the time domain resource interval satisfies ΔT≤1 / (2|f dmax |) or ΔT≤c / (4f c |v max |); If the time domain resource interval in the direction of speed is not considered and satisfies ΔT≤1 / f dmax Or ΔT≤c / (2f c v max ), where f dmax is the maximum unambiguous Doppler, v maxis the maximum unambiguous velocity, f c is the carrier frequency and c is the speed of light.
[0445] The frequency domain resources of each first signal include one or more (>=2) frequency units (e.g., multiple subcarriers, where the multiple frequency units may be continuous or non-continuous) and satisfy at least one of the following:
[0446] The frequency domain bandwidth B corresponding to each first signal is ≥ c / (2ΔR);
[0447] Frequency domain resource spacing satisfies Δf≤1 / τ max Or Δf≤c / (2R max ), where τ max is the maximum unambiguous delay, v max is the maximum unambiguous distance.

[0449] The reporting configuration of the measurement results includes: the time-frequency domain resource configuration of the feedback, such as one feedback per first signal, or one feedback per multiple first signals; the optimal number of first signals for feedback (i.e., the optimal number of beams for feedback);
[0450] It should be noted that each item in the first information may be sent separately, or at least two items may be sent using the same signaling.
[0451] Optionally, the perception network function may send at least one item of the first information to the first device or the second device. Alternatively, the second device may send at least one item of the first information to the first device. For example, in a case where the second device is a base station and the first device is a terminal, the terminal may send a first signal for uplink beam training based on the first information sent by the base station.
[0452] Optionally, before the first device notifies the second device of the first information, the first device also obtains capability information of the second device, and the capability information includes at least: the number of supported receiving beams, supported ranging / delay measurement, speed measurement / Doppler measurement, and angle measurement range.
[0453] Step 3. The first device sends N first signals, i.e., perception beam measurement signals, through perception beams in N different directions according to the configuration information of the first signal; or, the first device sends N first signals through perception beams in the same direction according to the configuration information of the first signal.
[0454] Step 4: The second device determines the content to be measured or the evaluation criteria for judging the quality of the perception beam based on the first information, and measures the first signal to obtain a measurement result.
[0455] In addition to the perception-related indicators or communication-related indicators, the above measurement results may also include at least one of the following:
[0456] Whether the target exists or the number of targets that exist under the current (or specific) sensing transmission beam:
[0457] Whether there is a perception target or the number of perception targets;
[0458] Whether there is a sensing target within the preset speed / Doppler range or the number of sensing targets that exist (combined with sensing requirement information, the first device may notify the second device);
[0459] Whether there is a sensing target within the preset distance / delay range or the number of sensing targets that exist (combined with sensing requirement information, the first device may notify the second device);
[0460] Whether there is a sensing target within the preset angle range or the number of sensing targets that exist (combined with the sensing requirement information, the first device may notify the second device);
[0461] RCS information (can be the RCS information of a single sensing target or multiple sensing targets);

[0463] Time delay, distance, Doppler, velocity, or angle information (can be information of a single or multiple sensing targets);
[0464] Recommended beam information, the recommended beam information includes at least one of the following: beam (pair) index, first signal resource index, first signal identifier, panel information (different transmitting panels correspond to different first signals, that is, different directional beams, optionally, also including receiving panel information), transmitting antenna information (for example, antenna group index, different antenna groups correspond to different first signals, that is, different directional beams, optionally, also including receiving antenna information).
[0465] Step 5: The second device sends a measurement result to the first device. This may be a perception-related indicator or a communication-related indicator corresponding to each first signal, or a perception measurement result corresponding to each first signal, or directly feedback the first signal identifier (target signal identifier) corresponding to the optimal beam, or the optimal beam identifier.
[0466] Step 6: After determining the target signal based on the measurement result, the first device sends the target signal to the second device for subsequent measurement of the perception measurement quantity. For example, if the second device is a base station and the first device is a terminal: the terminal sends the target signal based on the measurement result (which may be the target signal identifier or the configuration information of the target signal) sent by the base station.
[0467] Step 7: The second device performs measurement based on the target signal to obtain a perception measurement result, that is, a value of the perception measurement quantity.
[0468] Example 2:
[0469] This embodiment mainly describes the communication perception joint beam measurement and feedback process.
[0470] In this embodiment, taking the case where a first device sends a first signal and a second device receives the first signal to perform communication and perception of joint beam management as an example, a specific signaling interaction process is described, including the following steps:
[0471] Step 1: The perception network function sends perception requirement information to the first device (optional).
[0472] Step 2: The first device sends first information to the second device to notify the second device of the content that needs to be measured for beam management, or the evaluation criteria for judging the quality of the perceived beam, thereby determining the measurement results that need to be fed back.
[0473] The first information includes at least one of the following:
[0474] Perception-related metrics and communication-related metrics;
[0475] Perceptual measurement quantity;
[0476] Perceive demand information;
[0477] configuration information of the first signal;
[0478] Sending or receiving beam indication information;
[0479] Measurement result reporting configuration.
[0480] For the first information, please refer to the corresponding description of the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.
[0481] The configuration information of the first signal may be different from that in the above embodiment. For example, the perception beam measurement and the communication beam measurement may share the same first signal or may use different first signals. When the perception and communication beam measurements share the same first signal, the first signal configuration is associated with the perception requirements and the communication requirements. The communication requirements refer to the requirements that the communication beam measurement needs to meet, that is, the requirements for the first signal duration, bandwidth, time-frequency domain density, and other configurations. The configuration information of the first signal may include at least one of the following:
[0482] The N first signals correspond to N perception beams in different directions, that is, the N first signals are beamformed using different beamforming vectors. The N beam directions are associated with the perception angle range. For example, the N beam directions are associated with the field of view (FoV). The FoV may be related to the device capability. For a rectangular array:
[0483] Where λ is the wavelength and d is the spacing between antenna elements (antenna arrays).
[0484] For example: a rectangular array with half-wavelength array element spacing has a FoV of 180°, that is, an angle of ±90° with the normal of the antenna panel, then the angle range corresponding to the N beam directions covers this angle range; the perception angle range can also be related to the area range that needs to be perceived, for example, the area range for perceiving target activities based on prior information corresponds to angle range 1; similarly, the communication angle range can also be related to the angle range corresponding to the position of the receiving device, for example, the angle range corresponding to the position of the receiving device based on prior information (terminal positioning or early beam management) corresponds to angle range 2, then the angle range corresponding to the N beam directions covers the union of angle range 1 and angle range 2.
[0485] The time domain resource of each first signal includes one or more (>=2) time units (for example, multiple OFDM symbols, where the multiple time units may be continuous or non-continuous). When the resource includes multiple time units, there are the following two possibilities:
[0486] 1. The time domain duration corresponding to each first signal or the duration occupied by multiple time units T P (i.e., beam switching period) satisfies: T P ≥T s And T P ≥T c , where T s T is the time required for perceptual measurement. c is the time required for communication measurement, where the time required for perception measurement is T s The requirements are the same as those in Example 1.
[0487] 2. Among multiple time units, the minimum time interval between two adjacent time units satisfies ΔT≤ΔT s And ΔT≤ΔT c , ΔT s The minimum time interval required for sensing measurement, ΔT c The minimum time interval required for communication measurement, wherein the minimum time interval required for perception measurement is the same as that in embodiment 1.
[0488] The frequency domain resources of each first signal include one or more (>=2) frequency units (for example, multiple subcarriers, the multiple frequency units may be continuous or non-continuous), and satisfy:
[0489] The frequency domain bandwidth B corresponding to each first signal is B≥B s And B≥B c , where B s B is the bandwidth required for perceptual measurement. c The bandwidth required for communication measurement is the same as that in the first embodiment.
[0490] The minimum frequency interval between two adjacent frequency units Δf≤Δf s And Δf≤Δf c , where Δf s The minimum frequency separation required for perceptual measurement, Δf c The minimum frequency interval required for communication measurement and the minimum frequency interval required for perception measurement are the same as those in the first embodiment.
[0491] It should be noted that each item in the first information may be sent separately, or at least two items may be sent using the same signaling.
[0492] Optionally, the perception network function may send at least one item of the first information to the first device or the second device. Alternatively, the second device may send at least one item of the first information to the first device. For example, in a case where the second device is a base station and the first device is a terminal, the terminal may send a first signal for uplink beam training based on the first information sent by the base station.
[0493] Optionally, before the first device notifies the second device of the first information, the first device further acquires capability information of the second device.
[0494] Step 3. The first device sends N first signals, i.e., perception beams or communication beam measurement signals, through beams in N different directions according to the first signal configuration; or, the first device sends N first signals through beams in the same direction according to the first signal configuration.
[0495] Step 4: The second device determines the content to be measured or the evaluation criteria for judging the quality of the perception beam based on the first information, and measures the first signal to obtain a measurement result.
[0496] Step 5. The second device sends a measurement result to the first device. This can be a perception-related indicator corresponding to each first signal, or a perception measurement result corresponding to each first signal and a communication-related indicator corresponding to each first signal; or directly feedback the first signal identifier corresponding to the optimal beam (target signal identifier), or the optimal beam identifier (which can also be divided into the perception optimal first signal identifier (optimal perception beam identifier), the communication optimal first signal identifier (optimal perception beam identifier), and the optimal first signal identifier shared by perception and communication (optimal perception and communication shared beam identifier).
[0497] Step 6: After determining the target signal based on the measurement result, the first device sends the target signal to the second device for subsequent measurement or communication of the sensing measurement quantity. For example, if the second device is a base station and the first device is a terminal, the terminal sends the target signal for subsequent measurement or communication of the sensing measurement quantity based on the measurement result (which may be a target signal identifier or configuration information of the target signal) sent by the base station.
[0498] Step 7: The second device receives the target signal for measurement to obtain a perception measurement result, that is, a value of the perception measurement quantity; or receives the target signal for communication, such as channel measurement, or channel estimation, demodulation, etc.
