[0126] The embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), LTE-Beyond (LTE-B), SUPER 3G, IMT-Advanced, 4th generation mobile communication system (4G), 5th generation mobile communication system (5G), 5G New Radio (NR), Future Radio Access (FRA), New-Radio Access Technology (RAT), New Radio (NR), New Radio access (NX), Future generation radio access (FX), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM (registered trademark)), CDMA2000, Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.20, Ultra-WideBand (UWB), Bluetooth (registered trademark), Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) networks, Device-to-Device (D2D) systems, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) systems, Internet of Things (IoT) systems, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), systems utilizing other communication methods, and next-generation systems based on and extending these methods. Furthermore, multiple systems may be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G).

[0127] 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.

[0128] 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.

[0129] In some embodiments, some examples of communication-assisted awareness services are provided:

[0130] 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.

[0131] 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.

[0132] 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.

[0133] Example 4: Indoor healthcare and intrusion detection. Indoor healthcare and intrusion detection can achieve respiratory rate estimation, respiratory depth estimation, apnea detection, vital sign monitoring of the elderly, and / or indoor intrusion detection.

[0134] In some embodiments, the perception of wireless communication channels and / or environments can further improve the performance of wireless communication systems. Optionally, some examples of perception-assisted communication are provided:

[0135] Example 1: Perceiving the UE's location and / or channel environment can narrow the beam scanning range and shorten the beam training time.

[0136] Example 2: Perceiving the UE's position, speed, motion trajectory, and / or channel environment for beam prediction can reduce the overhead of beam measurement and the delay of beam tracking.

[0137] Example 3: Perceiving UE properties and / or channel environment can improve channel estimation performance.

[0138] In some embodiments, in a sensing scenario, a UE or base station can sense a human being unconsciously. Since the UE can perform sensing tasks on its own, it can obtain sensitive information about a person (e.g., heart rate) through the sensing process even when the UE is out of network coverage. To avoid being sensed unconsciously, 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.

[0139] Optionally, the UE may be the terminal in the previous embodiment.
