Furthermore, multiple systems may be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G).

[0090] In some embodiments, wireless sensing technology may include radar (radio detection and ranging) technology; radar uses radio waves to determine physical distance (or range), angle, and / or instantaneous velocity. Alternatively, wireless sensing technology may also include other sensing technologies, such as non-radio frequency sensing technology; such non-radio frequency sensing technology has been applied to fields such as time-of-flight (ToF) cameras, accelerometers, gyroscopes, and / or lidar.

[0091] In some embodiments, integrated sensing and communication means that the sensing capabilities are provided by the same wireless communication system and base station infrastructure used for communication. Optionally, both the UE and the NR RAN node can act as sensing transmitters and / or sensing receivers in the sensing system.

[0092] In some embodiments, some examples of communication-assisted awareness services are provided:

[0093] Example 1: Real-time environmental monitoring. Real-time environmental monitoring can use wireless signals to reconstruct environmental maps to further improve positioning accuracy and enable environmental applications. For example, real-time monitoring applications may include dynamic 3D maps for driving assistance, pedestrian counting, intrusion detection, and / or traffic detection.

[0094] Example 2: Autonomous vehicles / drones. Autonomous vehicle / drone applications share some common functional requirements. For example, autonomous vehicles / drones should support detect and avoid (DAA) to avoid obstacles. Alternatively, autonomous vehicles / drones should be able to monitor path information, such as selecting a route and / or complying with traffic regulations.

[0095] Example 3: Air pollution monitoring: As air humidity, particulate matter (PM) concentration, and / or carrier frequency change, the quality of the received wireless signal exhibits different attenuation characteristics, which can be used for weather or air quality monitoring.

[0100] Example 3: Perceiving UE properties and / or channel environment can improve channel estimation performance.

[0101] In some embodiments, in a sensing scenario, a UE or base station may sense a human being in an unconscious manner. Since the UE can perform sensing tasks on its own, the UE can obtain sensitive information about the person (e.g., heart rate, etc.) through the sensing process even when the UE is out of network coverage. To avoid being sensed in an unconscious manner, humans should be able to use their UE to detect potential sensing tasks. However, there is currently no existing mechanism that enables the UE to detect potential sensing tasks in out-of-coverage scenarios.

[0102] Optionally, the UE may be the terminal in the previous embodiment; the terminal may be the first terminal and / or the second terminal.
