[0114] Before introducing the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the relevant technologies are first introduced.

[0115] Currently, integrated communication and perception systems analyze radio waves to gain awareness of target objects or environments, enabling functions such as positioning, ranging, speed measurement, imaging, identification, and environmental reconstruction. This integrated communication and perception system primarily operates in a self-transmitting, self-receiving mode, or a device A-transmitting, device B-receiving mode. For example, base station A transmits a perception signal, which is reflected by the "target perception object" and reaches base station B. Base station B measures the reflected perception signal and estimates the distance, speed, angle, and other information of the "target perception object."

[0116] However, there is currently a lack of technical solutions for sensing signals designed to achieve the above functions.

[0117] Based on this, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, a first device sends configuration information of a perception signal to a second device; the configuration information of the perception signal is used by the second device to send a perception signal to a target object and reflect it to the first device, so that the first device can use the reflected perception signal to estimate relevant information of the target object; wherein, the configuration information of the perception signal includes at least one of the following: a first parameter; the first parameter represents the starting symbol at which the perception signal starts to be transmitted in a time slot; a second parameter; the second parameter represents the total number of symbols occupied by the perception signal in the time domain, or the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal; a third parameter; the third parameter represents the symbol interval between the starting symbols of two transmissions of the perception signal, or the number of symbols during which the perception signal is not transmitted between two transmissions of the perception signal; a fourth parameter; the fourth parameter represents that the perception signal is transmitted at N transmission opportunities; wherein N is an integer greater than 1.

[0118] Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an implementation flow of a configuration method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, which is applied to a first device. The method includes step 101:

[0119] Step 101: Sending configuration information of a perception signal to a second device; the configuration information of the perception signal is used by the second device to determine a time-frequency resource location for sending the perception signal;

[0120] The configuration information of the perception signal includes at least one of the following:

[0121] A first parameter; the first parameter represents the starting symbol at which the perception signal starts to be transmitted in the time slot;

[0122] A second parameter; the second parameter represents the total number of symbols occupied by the perception signal in the time domain, or the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal;

[0123] A third parameter; the third parameter represents the symbol interval between the start symbols of two transmissions of the perception signal, or the number of symbols during which the perception signal is not transmitted between two transmissions of the perception signal;

[0124] The fourth parameter represents that the perception signal is transmitted at N transmission opportunities; wherein N is an integer greater than 1.

[0125] As an example, the first device may specifically refer to a network device such as a base station, and the second device may specifically refer to a terminal, or the first device may specifically refer to a terminal, and the second device may specifically refer to a network device such as a base station.

[0126] As an example, the relevant information of the target object may refer to information such as the distance, speed, and angle of the target object.

[0127] As an example, the first parameter is represented by A, where A represents a starting symbol at which the perception signal begins to be transmitted in a time slot.

[0128] As an example, the second parameter is represented by Ltotal or Li, where Ltotal represents the total number of symbols occupied by the perception signal in the time domain, and Li represents the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal.

[0129] As an example, the third parameter is represented by C1 or C2, C1 represents the time domain comb teeth of the perception signal or the time domain interval of the perception signal, and the time domain comb teeth of the perception signal or the time domain interval of the perception signal represents the symbol interval between the starting symbols of two transmitted perception signals, and C2 represents the number of symbols in which the perception signal is not transmitted between the two transmitted perception signals.

[0130] As an example, the fourth parameter is represented by N, where N indicates that the perception signal is transmitted at N transmission opportunities, where N is an integer greater than 1.

[0131] In some embodiments, when the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal is represented by a numerical value, the numerical value represents that the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal in each transmission is the same;

[0132] or,

[0133] When the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal is represented by two numerical values, a first numerical value of the two numerical values ​​represents the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal transmitted for the first time, and a second numerical value of the two numerical values ​​represents the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal transmitted from the second time to the last time;

[0134] or,

[0135] In the case where the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal is represented by a first list, each value in the first list represents the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal in each transmission.

[0136] As an example, the number Li of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal represented by the second parameter includes the following cases:

[0137] In the first case, the number Li of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal represented by the second parameter can be represented by 1 value, which means that the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal in each transmission is the same.

[0138] For example, Li is represented by 1 numerical value, such as Li=2, which means that the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal of each transmission is 2. Assuming that the symbols occupied by the perception signal of three transmissions are represented by {0, 1, 3, 4, 6, 7}, the symbols occupied by the perception signal of the first transmission are symbol 0 and symbol 1, the symbols occupied by the perception signal of the second transmission are symbol 3 and symbol 4, and the symbols occupied by the perception signal of the third transmission are symbol 6 and symbol 7.

[0139] In the second case, the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal, represented by the second parameter, Li, can be represented by two values. The first of the two values ​​represents the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal in the first consecutive transmission, and the second of the two values ​​represents the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal in the second to last consecutive transmissions. The advantage of this is that the first transmission sends the most symbols, ensuring the accuracy of distance and angle estimation. Subsequent transmissions send fewer symbols, which are used for speed estimation and reduce resource overhead.

[0140] For example, Li is represented by two numerical values, such as Li = 2 and 1, 2 represents that the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal of the first transmission is 2, and 1 represents that the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal from the second to the last transmission is 1. Assuming that the symbols occupied by the perception signal of three transmissions are represented by {0, 1, 3, 6}, the symbols occupied by the perception signal of the first transmission are symbol 0 and symbol 1, the symbol occupied by the perception signal of the second continuous transmission is symbol 3, and the symbol occupied by the perception signal of the third continuous transmission is symbol 6.

[0141] In a third case, the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal represented by the second parameter, Li, can be represented by a list, where each value in the list corresponds to the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal in each transmission. This has the advantage of enabling flexible configuration of the number of consecutively transmitted perception symbols.

[0142] For example, Li is represented by a list, such as Li = {2, 1, 2}, where the first value 2 in the list represents that the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal of the first transmission is 2, the second value 1 in the list represents that the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal of the second transmission is 1, and the third value 2 in the list represents that the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal of the third transmission is 2. Assuming that the symbols occupied by the perception signals of the three transmissions are represented by {0, 1, 3, 6, 7}, the symbols occupied by the perception signal of the first transmission are symbol 0 and symbol 1, the symbol occupied by the perception signal of the second transmission is symbol 3, and the symbols occupied by the perception signal of the third transmission are symbol 6 and symbol 7.

[0143] In some embodiments, the sensing signal is transmitted at N transmission opportunities, including:

[0144] The starting symbol of the first transmission of the perception signal is represented by A, and the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal is represented by Ltotal / N or L1 or the first value in the first list;

[0145] The starting symbol of the second transmission of the perception signal is represented by A+C, and the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal is represented by Ltotal / N or L2 or the second value in the first list;

[0146] The starting symbol of the third transmission of the perception signal is represented by A+C×2, and the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal is represented by Ltotal / N or L3 or the third value in the first list;

[0147] By analogy, the starting symbol of the Nth transmission of the perception signal is represented by A+C×(N−1), and the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal is represented by Ltotal / N or LN or the Nth value in the first list;

[0148] in,

[0149] A represents the starting symbol of the sensing signal transmission in the time slot;

[0150] C represents the symbol interval between the start symbols of two transmission sensing signals;

[0151] Ltotal represents the total number of symbols occupied by the perception signal in the time domain;

[0152] N represents the total number of transmissions;

[0153] L1 represents the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the first transmitted perception signal;

[0154] L2 represents the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the second transmitted perception signal;

[0155] L3 represents the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the third transmitted perception signal;

[0156] LN represents the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal transmitted for the Nth time.

[0157] For example, the starting symbol of the first transmission of the perception signal is represented by A, and the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal is represented by Ltotal / N. Then, the symbols occupied by the first transmission of the perception signal are represented as {A, A+1, …, A+Ltotal / N-1};

[0158] The starting symbol of the second transmission of the perception signal is represented by A+C, and the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal is represented by Ltotal / N. Then, the symbols occupied by the second transmission of the perception signal are represented as {A+C, A+C+1, …, A+C+Ltotal / N-1};

[0159] The starting symbol of the third transmission of the perception signal is represented by A+C×2, and the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal is represented by Ltotal / N. Then, the symbols occupied by the second transmission of the perception signal are represented as {A+C×2, A+C×2+1, …, A+C×2+Ltotal / N-1};

[0160] By analogy, the starting symbol of the perception signal transmitted for the Nth time is represented by A+C×(N-1), and the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal is represented by Ltotal / N. Then, the symbols occupied by the perception signal transmitted for the Nth time are represented as {A+C×(N-1),A+C×(N-1)+1,…,A+C×(N-1)+Ltotal / N-1}.

[0161] Alternatively, the starting symbol of the first transmission of the perception signal is represented by A, and the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal is represented by L1, then the symbols occupied by the first transmission of the perception signal are represented as {A, A+1, ..., A+L1-1};

[0162] The starting symbol of the second transmission of the perception signal is represented by A+C, and the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal is represented by L2. Then, the symbols occupied by the second transmission of the perception signal are represented as {A+C, A+C+1, ..., A+C+L2-1};

[0163] The starting symbol of the third transmission of the perception signal is represented by A+C×2, and the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal is represented by L3. Then, the symbols occupied by the second transmission of the perception signal are represented as {A+C×2, A+C×2+1, …, A+C×2+L3-1};

[0164] By analogy, the starting symbol of the perception signal transmitted for the Nth time is represented by A+C×(N-1), and the number of consecutive symbols occupied by the perception signal is represented by LN. Then, the symbols occupied by the perception signal transmitted for the Nth time are represented as {A+C×(N-1), A+C×(N-1)+1, …, A+C×(N-1)+LN-1}.

The perception signal passes through the target object and is reflected to the first device.
