[0059] It should be noted that the sensing categories shown in Table 1 above are only an example, and the categories of sensing measurement in the embodiments of the present application are not limited.

[0060] In addition, the embodiments of the present application can be applied to a communication and sensing integrated scenario.

[0062] In the embodiments of the present application, according to the differences between the sensing signal sending node and the receiving node, there can be, but are not limited to, six kinds of sensing links shown in FIG. 2. It should be noted that each sensing link in FIG. 2 is exemplified by one sending node and one receiving node.

[0067] Sensing link 5: Terminal self-sensing. In this mode, the terminal sends a sensing signal and obtains a sensing result by receiving the echo of the sensing signal.

[0068] Sensing link 6: Inter-terminal sidelink sensing. For example, terminal 2 receives the sensing signal sent by terminal 1 and obtains the sensing result, or terminal 1 receives the sensing signal sent by terminal 2 and obtains the sensing result.

[0069] In some embodiments, the signaling transmission between the wireless access network device and the terminal, between different terminals, is through the radio resource control (RRC) signaling or the medium access control control element (MAC CE) or layer 1 signaling or other newly defined sensing signaling; the signaling transmission between the sensing network function and the terminal can be through the non-access stratum (NAS) signaling (forwarded through the AMF) or through the RRC signaling or the MAC CE or the layer 1 signaling or other newly defined sensing signaling; the interaction between the sensing network function and the base station can be forwarded to the wireless access network through the N2 interface by the AMF; or the core network sensing network function is sent to the UPF, and the UPF is sent to the wireless access network through the N3 interface; or it is sent to the wireless access network (such as the base station) through a newly defined interface; the signaling transmission between the wireless access network devices can be through the Xn interface.

[0070] In some embodiments, the sensing network function can also be called a sensing network element or a sensing management function (Sensing MF), which can be on the RAN side or the core network side, refers to a network node in the core network or RAN responsible for at least one of the following functions: sensing request processing, sensing resource scheduling, sensing information interaction, sensing data processing, etc., which can be based on the upgrade of AMF or LMF in the mobile communication network, or other network nodes or newly defined network nodes. Specifically, the function characteristics of the sensing network function / sensing network element can include at least one of the following:

[0071] The target information includes a sensing processing request, a sensing capability, sensing auxiliary data, a sensing measurement type, and sensing resource configuration information, so that the wireless signal measurement device sends a target sensing result or a value of a sensing measurement (an uplink measurement or a downlink measurement).

[0072] The sensing method used is determined according to the type of the sensing service, information of a sensing service consumer, required sensing Quality of Service (QoS) requirement information, a sensing capability of the wireless signal sending device, and a sensing capability of the wireless signal measurement device. The sensing method can include: wireless access network device A sending and wireless access network device B receiving, or a wireless access network device sending and a terminal receiving, or wireless access network device A sending and wireless access network device A receiving, or a terminal sending and a wireless access network device receiving, or a terminal sending and a terminal receiving, or terminal A sending and terminal B receiving, and the like.

[0073] The sensing device serving the sensing service is determined according to the type of the sensing service, information of a sensing service consumer, required sensing Quality of Service (QoS) requirement information, a sensing capability of the wireless signal sending device, and a sensing capability of the wireless signal measurement device. The sensing device includes the wireless signal sending device or the wireless signal measurement device.

[0074] Overall coordination and scheduling of resources required for the sensing service are managed, such as corresponding configuration of sensing resources of the wireless access network device or the terminal.

[0075] Data processing is performed on the value of the sensing measurement, or a sensing result is obtained by calculation. The sensing result can also be verified, and sensing accuracy can be estimated.

[0076] In some embodiments, radars can be divided into single-base radars and double / multi-base radars according to whether the transmitter and receiver are separated. Double-base radars generally require the transmitting and receiving antennas to be far apart, comparable to the radar action distance. Among them, the external radiation source radar is a special case of double-base radar, which uses related electromagnetic wave detection theory and signal processing technology to obtain non-cooperative electromagnetic signals transmitted by a third party (such as a communication base station), and realizes the detection, positioning, tracking, and identification of targets. It is also called passive radar, double / multi-base passive radar, passive radar, non-cooperative radiation source radar, or non-cooperative passive detection system.

[0077] The double-base radar sensing result calculation generally needs to be based on reference channel (direct path) signals and monitoring channel (reflected path) signals. A typical double-base radar architecture diagram is shown in FIG. 3. Among them, R T is the distance from the signal sending end (Tx) to the target, and RR L is the baseline distance, θ T is the angle of the target relative to the signal transmitting end, θ R (θ R1 , θ R2 ) is the angle of the target relative to the signal receiving end, and β is the bistatic angle.

[0078] In some embodiments, in order to improve the sensing performance, the relationship between the sensing requirement and the signal configuration can be as follows:

[0079] The sensing resolution is associated with the signal resource length (bandwidth), and can be specifically as follows:

[0080] The relationship between the delay resolution Δτ and the sensing signal bandwidth B is as follows:

[0081] The relationship between the distance resolution ΔR and the sensing signal bandwidth B is as follows: for monostatic sensing, for bistatic sensing, c is the speed of light, and β is the bistatic angle.

[0082] The relationship between the Doppler resolution Δf d and the coherent processing window (also referred to as the coherent processing time length) T p (the time domain resource length of the target signal for each calculation of sensing information, for example, the time domain resource length corresponding to the range-Doppler map obtained by performing two-dimensional FFT operation) is as follows:

[0083] The relationship between the velocity resolution Δv and the coherent processing time length T p is as follows: for monostatic sensing, for bistatic sensing, λ is the signal wavelength, and β is the bistatic angle.

[0084] In some embodiments, in order to improve the sensing performance, the maximum unambiguous measurement range is associated with the signal resource interval, and at least one of the following relationships can exist:

[0085] The relationship between the maximum unambiguous delay τ max and the frequency domain resource interval Δf is as follows:

[0086] The relationship between the maximum unambiguous distance R max and the frequency domain resource interval Δf is as follows: for monostatic sensing, for bistatic sensing, c is the speed of light, and β is the bistatic angle.

[0087] The relationship between the maximum unambiguous Doppler R maxThe relationship between the frequency domain resource interval and the time domain resource interval ΔT is as follows:

[0088] Maximum unambiguous velocity v max The relationship between the frequency domain resource interval and the time domain resource interval ΔT is as follows: for single-base sensing, The velocity can be a radial velocity; for double-base sensing, The velocity can be a projection velocity on a double-base bisector, λ is a signal wavelength, and β is a double-base angle.

[0089] That is, when the frequency domain resource interval of a signal exceeds a certain value, ranging ambiguity occurs, and when the time domain resource interval exceeds a certain value, velocity / Doppler measurement ambiguity occurs.

[0100] The first frequency domain resource can include one or more frequency domain resources, and the second frequency domain resource can include one or more frequency domain resources.

[0101] The third frequency domain resource is a frequency domain resource that overlaps the first frequency domain resource and the second frequency domain resource, where the overlap can be partial or complete overlap, for example, it can include the three cases shown in FIG. 5, where blue represents the first frequency domain resource, yellow represents the second frequency domain resource, and the third frequency domain resource is the overlapping region of the two.

[0102] The code division multiplexing of the first signal transmitted on the third frequency domain resource and the second signal transmitted on the third frequency domain resource can be that only the code division multiplexing of the first signal transmitted on the third frequency domain resource and the second signal transmitted on the third frequency domain resource, and the code division multiplexing of the first signal and the second signal transmitted on other frequency domains; or, it can be that the code division multiplexing of the first signal transmitted on the third frequency domain resource and the second signal transmitted on the third frequency domain resource, and the code division multiplexing of the first signal and the second signal transmitted on other frequency domains, which is not limited.

[0103] The time domain resource occupied by the first signal includes the time domain resource occupied by the second signal can be that the time domain resource occupied by the first signal is the same as the time domain resource occupied by the second signal, or the time domain resource occupied by the second signal is a subset of the time domain resource occupied by the first signal. Alternatively, the time domain resource occupied by the first signal includes the time domain resource occupied by the second signal can also be understood as a time domain resource conflict between the first signal and the second signal.

[0115] In the embodiments of the present application, since the first frequency domain resource and the second frequency domain resource have the third frequency domain resource in common, and the time domain resource occupied by the first signal includes the time domain resource occupied by the second signal, the first signal transmitted on the third frequency domain resource is code division multiplexed with the second signal transmitted on the third frequency domain resource, so that the same time domain resource occupied by the first signal and the second signal on the third frequency domain resource can be realized, that is, the first signal and the second signal are transmitted simultaneously on the same time domain resource, thereby improving the communication rate.

[0116] The embodiments of the present application can be applied to the following scenarios:

In this scenario, the first device transmits the first signal and receives the echo signal thereof, and the first device transmits the second signal (such as a communication signal), and the second device receives the second signal; or the first device transmits the first signal and the second signal (sensing signal) and receives the echo signal; the first device receives the signal configuration information or sensing requirement information of the first signal transmitted by the fifth device, and the second device receives the configuration information of the second signal transmitted by the first device.

[0118] Scenario one, the scenario is double-base sensing, which can be shown in FIG. 6b. In this scenario, the first device transmits the first signal and the second signal (such as a communication signal), and the second device receives the first signal and the second signal; or the first device transmits the first signal and the second signal (such as a sensing signal), and the second device receives the first signal and the second signal; the first device or the second device receives the signal configuration information or the sensing requirement information of the first signal or the second signal transmitted by the fifth device, and the second device receives the signal configuration information or the communication signal configuration information of the first signal or the second signal transmitted by the first device.

[0119] In the above two scenarios, the device receiving the first signal and the second signal (such as a communication signal or a sensing signal) can also be different devices.

[0120] In the single base station sensing and the double base station sensing scenarios, the first device and the second device can be a terminal or a network side device (such as a base station or a TRP), specifically, the first device can be a base station and the second device can be a terminal, or the first device can be a terminal and the second device can be a base station, or the first device and the second device can both be base stations, or the first device and the second device can both be terminals. The fifth device can be a core network sensing network function or a sensing network element, or can be another network side device or a terminal. That is, the first device is a signal sending device (for single base station sensing, it is also a sensing signal receiving device); the second device is a signal receiving device; and the fifth device is a device participating in the sensing service process but not performing signal sending or receiving.

[0121] As an optional implementation, the first frequency domain resource includes the second frequency domain resource, and the third frequency domain resource is equal to the second frequency domain resource.

[0122] In this implementation, the third frequency domain resource is the second frequency domain resource, for example, the second frequency domain resource is a subset of the first frequency domain resource.

[0123] In this way, the second signal can be sent on the frequency domain resource occupied by the first signal, so as to save resource overhead.

[0124] As an optional implementation, the base sequence of the first signal is the same as that of the second signal on the third frequency domain resource, and the OCC of the first signal is different from that of the second signal on the third frequency domain resource.

[0125] The base sequence can be a PN sequence or other sequences, such as a ZC sequence, and the PN sequence can be a QPSK PN sequence.

[0126] In this implementation, since the base sequence of the first signal is the same as that of the second signal, the base sequence overhead can be reduced, and since the OCC of the first signal is different from that of the second signal, the interference between the first signal and the second signal can be reduced.

[0127] In the above implementation, the first signal and the second signal occupy the same frequency domain resource unit on the third frequency domain resource.

[0128] In some implementations, a unified base sequence can be generated according to the maximum system bandwidth, and the second signal on the third frequency domain resource and the first signal on the first frequency domain resource are generated using the unified base sequence.

[0129] In some embodiments, the second signal on the third frequency domain resource and the first signal on the third frequency domain resource belong to a same code division multiplexing (CDM) group, which can also be referred to as a CDM port group.

[0130] As an optional implementation, the generation parameter of the base sequence of the first signal or the second signal is associated with at least one of the following:

[0131] The perception service related information, the information of the device participating in the perception, the frequency domain resource related information, the time domain resource related information, the space domain resource related information, and the base sequence identification information.

[0132] The generation parameter can be an initial value of the base sequence, such as an initial value c of a PN sequence. init .

[0133] The association of the generation parameter with the at least one of the above can be understood as that the generation parameter of the base sequence is generated or selected based on the at least one of the above.

[0134] The perception service related information can include at least one of the following:

[0135] The perception measurement range identifier, the perception area identifier, the perception service identifier, the perception service type, the identifier of whether to be used for perception, the identifier of the perception target, the identifier of the tag associated with the perception target, the number of perception targets, and the perception measurement quantity information.

[0136] The perception measurement range identifier can indicate a perception measurement area range.

[0137] The perception area identifier can indicate a perception measurement area.

[0138] In some embodiments, the perception area is a target area to be perceived, which can be pre-divided.

[0139] For example, a plurality of base station coverage areas (cells) form a perception area, and a perception area identifier n is associated with the perception area. areaID As shown in FIG. 7, each hexagonal area represents a base station coverage area, and areas of the same color represent a same perception area. In particular, a RAN-based notification area (RNA) can be taken as a perception area, and an RNA ID can be taken as the perception area identifier.

[0140] For another example, a single base station coverage area (cell) contains a plurality of perception areas, and a plurality of perception area identifiers are associated with the perception areas. For example, the coverage range of the base station is rasterized to form a plurality of perception areas, and each area is associated with an area ID n areaIDAs shown in FIG. 8, the dashed lines represent the base station coverage area, and each square represents a divided sensing area.

[0141] For another example, the region ID n is generated directly using a geographic region identifier, such as a latitude and longitude or a coordinate position, which is independent of the base station position. areaID .

[0142] For another example, different angle ranges relative to the base station are associated with different region IDs n areaID , for example, the azimuth angle x1°~x2° and the elevation angle y1°~y2° correspond to the sensing region ID 1.

[0143] The identifier for whether it is used for sensing can be n sensingID = 0 when it is not used for sensing; and n sensingID = 1 when it is used for sensing.

[0144] Different sensing services correspond to different sensing service identifiers ID n sensingID , or different categories correspond to different sensing service identifiers ID n sensingID , for example, the sensing functions or service types are divided according to the range scale, for example:

[0145] The first type (short distance / small range): material analysis, component analysis, gesture recognition, lip reading, gait recognition, expression recognition, face recognition, respiratory monitoring, heart rate monitoring, pulse monitoring, etc.

[0146] The second type (medium distance / medium range): intrusion detection, quantity statistics, indoor positioning, etc.

[0147] The third type (long distance / large range): humidity / illumination / temperature / air pressure monitoring, air quality monitoring, weather condition monitoring, environment reconstruction, topography, building / vegetation distribution detection, people flow or vehicle flow detection, etc.

[0148] There can be other classification standards, such as dividing into positioning type sensing, imaging type sensing, and pattern recognition type sensing according to functions; or dividing according to power consumption / energy consumption, dividing according to resource occupation, etc.

[0149] The above sensing measurement quantity information can be a measurement quantity identifier, and at least one of the sensing measurement quantities is associated with a measurement quantity identifier, for example, as shown in Table 2:

[0150] Table 2

[0151] In some embodiments, the sensing measurement quantities can be divided into the following types:

[0152] The first level measurement quantity (also referred to as the received signal / original channel information) includes at least one of the following:

[0153] receive signal / channel response complex results, amplitude / phase, I / Q and their related operation results (operations include addition / subtraction / multiplication / division, matrix addition / subtraction / multiplication, matrix transposition, trigonometric function operation, square root operation, and power operation, etc., as well as threshold detection results of the above operation results, maximum / minimum value extraction results, etc.; wherein, the operations also include Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) / Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT), Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) / Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform (IDFT), 2D-FFT, 3D-FFT, matched filtering, autocorrelation operation, wavelet transform, and digital filtering, etc., as well as threshold detection results of the above operation results, maximum / minimum value extraction results, etc.);

[0154] second-level measurement quantities (also referred to as basic measurement quantities), including at least one of the following: time delay, Doppler, angle, intensity, and their multi-dimensional combination representations; the multi-dimensional combination representations can be, for example, a time delay-Doppler spectrum, or a time delay-angle spectrum, or a time delay-Doppler-angle spectrum;

[0155] third-level measurement quantities (also referred to as basic attributes / statuses), including at least one of the following: distance, speed, orientation, spatial position, acceleration;

[0156] fourth-level measurement quantities (also referred to as advanced attributes / statuses), including at least one of the following: whether the target exists, trajectory, action, expression, vital sign, quantity, imaging result, weather, air quality, shape, material, composition.

[0157] The label identification associated with the above-mentioned perceived target can be different for different perceived target targetID Wherein, the determination of the perceived target can be based on prior information obtained from existing measurement results, for example, base station A sends a perceived measurement signal through an omnidirectional beam to perform preliminary measurement, base station A obtains a distance-Doppler graph (or a distance-angle graph, etc.), determines the number of targets according to the distance-Doppler graph, and assigns an ID to each target; or, base station A sends a perceived measurement signal through an omnidirectional beam to perform preliminary measurement, a receiving device (such as another base station or a terminal) obtains a distance-Doppler graph (or a distance-angle graph, etc.), determines the number of targets according to the distance-Doppler graph, and assigns an ID to each target, and then informs the sending base station of the target ID and / or target-related information.

[0158] The first device determines the ID of each sensing target, generates a signal for sensing different targets according to different sensing target IDs, and transmits the sensing signals in different beams, with the beam direction pointing to the sensing target associated with the target ID.

[0159] The ID of the sensing target can also be the ID of the sensing target type. Different types correspond to different IDs of the sensing target. For example, the sensing targets are divided into stationary targets and moving targets. The latter can be further divided into high-speed targets and low-speed targets. Different types of targets correspond to different n targetID .

[0160] In some embodiments, the sensing target is equipped with a tag (Tag), and different Tags are associated with different Tag IDs. The sending device obtains the Tag ID corresponding to the target, and then obtains the signal for sensing different targets. The Tag can be a device supporting backscatter communication. The excitation source can be a device other than the Tag, or the excitation source can be the Tag itself. It can also be a terminal, i.e., a sensing target equipped with a normal transceiver module, such as a vehicle equipped with a communication device such as a vehicle terminal.

[0161] Since the generation parameters of the base sequence of the first signal or the second signal are associated with the sensing service related information, the determined base sequence of the first signal or the second signal can be more easily matched with the sensing service, thereby improving the sensing performance.

[0162] The information of the device participating in sensing can be the device identifier, such as the cell identifier or the terminal identifier, such as the radio network temporary identifier (RNTI).

[0163] Since the generation parameters of the base sequence of the first signal or the second signal are associated with the information of the device participating in sensing, the first signal or the second signal can be more easily matched with the sensing, thereby improving the sensing performance.

[0164] The frequency domain resource related information can be related information of the first frequency domain resource, the second frequency domain resource, or the third frequency domain resource.

[0168] a wireless frame index and a subframe index defined by a communication system;

[0170] a symbol index within a slot

[0171] a symbol index within a coherent processing time window;

[0172] a symbol index within a sensing resource block;

[0173] a slot index within a wireless frame;

[0174] a slot index within a coherent processing time window;

[0175] a slot index within a sensing resource block.

[0176] The length of the coherent processing window can be a time domain resource length for calculating a measurement result, for example, the coherent processing time window is a time window for outputting a sensing measurement result each time, such as a time domain resource length corresponding to a distance-Doppler diagram obtained by performing two-dimensional FFT operation, and the coherent processing window can include multiple slots or symbols. In some embodiments, the length of the coherent processing window can be agreed upon by a protocol or a network side device, or a device performing measurement, etc.

[0177] In some embodiments, the frequency domain resource related information or the time domain resource related information can also introduce a sensing resource block index, wherein the sensing resource block includes multiple Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs) and multiple slots or symbols, that is, the sensing resource block includes specific time-frequency domain resources, such as a frequency domain resource length and a time domain resource length corresponding to a distance-Doppler diagram obtained by performing two-dimensional FFT operation.

[0178] The spatial domain resource related information can be spatial domain resource related information of the first signal or the second signal, and the spatial domain resource related information can include at least one of the following:

[0179] Port index, port number, code division multiplexing (CDM) group index, CDM group number, antenna index, antenna group index, antenna subarray index, antenna panel index, maximum antenna number, maximum antenna group number, maximum antenna subarray number, maximum antenna panel number.

[0180] The port can be referred to as an antenna port, a logical port, or an antenna logical port.

[0181] The generation parameter of the base sequence of the first signal or the second signal is associated with the spatial domain resource related information, so that the determined first signal or second signal is more easily matched with the spatial domain resource, thereby improving the sensing performance.

[0182] The base sequence identification information is used to indicate the base sequence of the first signal or the second signal, for example, identification information for generating the base sequence of the first signal or the second signal directly configured by the system. The specific value of the identification information of the base sequence of the first signal or the second signal can be determined according to at least one of sensing service related information, information of a device participating in sensing, frequency domain resource related information, time domain resource related information, and spatial domain resource related information.

[0183] The base sequence identification information can be used to simply and directly determine the generation parameter of the base sequence, thereby reducing the complexity of the device.

Or the first device can generate the signal configuration information of the first signal or the second signal.

[0190] In some embodiments, the signal configuration information of the first signal or the second signal can be associated with the perception requirement information. For example, the first device obtains the first perception requirement information and determines the signal configuration information of the first signal according to the first perception requirement information, and in the case that the second signal is used for perception, the first device obtains the second perception requirement information and determines the signal configuration information of the second signal according to the second perception requirement information. Since the signal configuration information is determined according to the perception requirement information, the perception can meet the perception requirement.

[0191] In some embodiments, the perception requirement information can include at least one of the following:

[0192] The perception service or the perception service type, wherein the perception service can include at least one of the following:

[0198] The perception accuracy can be classified as: ranging accuracy, angle accuracy, speed accuracy, positioning accuracy, etc.

[0199] The perception range can be classified as: ranging range, speed range, angle range, imaging range, etc.

[0200] The perception latency can be the time interval from the sending of the perception signal to the obtaining of the perception result, or the time interval from the initiation of the perception demand to the obtaining of the perception result.

[0201] The perception update rate is, for example, the time interval between two adjacent executions of perception and the obtaining of the perception result.

[0202] The detection probability is, for example, the probability of being correctly detected in the presence of a perception object.

[0203] The identification probability (for a multi-element detection scenario, indicating the probability of correctly detecting the state or category of the perception target) is, for example, the probability of correctly detecting the state or category of the perception target.

[0204] The false alarm probability is, for example, the probability of erroneously detecting a perception target in the absence of a perception object.

[0205] The maximum number of perceivable targets.

[0206] Due to the acquisition of the signal configuration information of the first signal or the second signal, the transmission of the first signal or the second signal can be performed based on the signal configuration information, so as to improve the transmission reliability of the first signal or the second signal, and also to improve the perception performance.

[0207] In some embodiments, the signal configuration information of the first signal and the signal configuration information of the second signal can be carried in the same message or the same configuration information, or the signal configuration information of the first signal and the signal configuration information of the second signal are carried in different messages or are independent signal configuration information.

[0210] Or,

[0216] correlation information of a generation parameter of the base sequence of the first signal;

[0217] a sequence type of the base sequence of the first signal;

[0218] a length of the base sequence of the first signal;

[0219] or,

[0220] The base sequence related information of the second signal comprises at least one of:

[0221] correlation information of a generation parameter of the base sequence of the second signal;

[0222] a sequence type of the base sequence of the second signal;

[0223] a length of the base sequence of the second signal.

[0224] The correlation information of the generation parameter of the base sequence of the first signal refers to the correlation information of a generation parameter used to generate or determine the base sequence of the first signal.

[0225] The correlation information of the generation parameter of the base sequence of the second signal refers to the correlation information of a generation parameter used to generate or determine the base sequence of the second signal.

[0226] The correlation information can comprise at least one of:

[0227] sensing service related information, information of a device participating in sensing, frequency domain resource related information, time domain resource related information, space domain resource related information, and base sequence identification information.

[0228] The at least one item can refer to the description of the corresponding embodiments above, which will not be repeated here.

[0229] The sequence type of the base sequence of the first signal or the second signal can comprise at least one of:

[0230] a cell-specific reference signal sequence, a region-specific reference signal sequence, and a terminal-specific reference signal sequence.

[0231] The cell-specific reference signal sequence can be a reference signal sequence generated for a single cell, or a reference signal sequence generated for multiple cells, e.g., the reference signal sequence is commonly used by the multiple cells, and the generation parameters of the reference signal sequence are associated with information of a cell in the multiple cells, e.g., the generation parameters are associated with a physical cell identifier (PCI) of a cell in the multiple cells.

[0232] The area-specific reference signal sequence can be a sensing area-specific reference signal sequence, e.g., the area can be a specific area covered by multiple base stations jointly sensing in a sensing area definition.

[0233] The cell-specific reference signal sequence or the area-specific reference signal sequence can reduce base sequence overhead.

[0234] The port-related information of the first signal or the second signal can be information used to indicate a port associated with the first signal or the second signal, e.g., antenna port information, logical port information, or antenna logical port information.

[0235] Optionally, the port-related information of the first signal includes at least one of the following:

[0236] first port quantity information, first port index information, an indication used to indicate whether a port corresponding to the first signal is occupied by the second signal, and port information of a port corresponding to the second signal and occupied by the first signal.

[0237] Or,

[0238] The port-related information of the second signal includes at least one of the following:

[0239] second port quantity information, second port index information, and an indication used to indicate whether a port corresponding to the second signal is occupied by the first signal.

[0240] The first port quantity information can include at least one of the following:

[0241] a total number of ports, a number of ports invalid for the first signal, a number of ports valid for the first signal, a number of ports used for sensing, a number of ports used for communication, and a number of general-purpose ports.

[0242] The second port quantity information can include at least one of the following:

[0243] a total number of ports, a number of ports invalid for the second signal, a number of ports valid for the second signal, a number of ports used for sensing, a number of ports used for communication, and a number of general-purpose ports.

[0244] The first total port number is a total port number corresponding to the first signal, such as the maximum port number supported in the signal configuration information of the first signal, and the total port number includes the port number for sensing and the port number for communication. Alternatively, the total port number in the first port number information can be a total port number of code division multiplexing, or the total port number in the first port number information is a total port number in a CDM group in which the first signal is located.

[0245] The second total port number is a total port number corresponding to the second signal, such as the maximum port number supported in the signal configuration information of the first signal, and the total port number includes the port number for sensing and the port number for communication. Alternatively, the total port number in the second port number information can be a total port number of code division multiplexing, or the total port number in the second port number information is a total port number in a CDM group in which the first signal is located.

[0246] In some embodiments, the first total port number and the second total port number can refer to the same total port number, such as a total port number when the first signal and the second signal are code division multiplexed, or the first total port number and the second total port number can be different total port numbers.

[0247] In some embodiments, the total port number in the first port number information and the total port number in the second port number information are the same total port number. For example, in the case of the second signal being DMRS, the total port number is 4 for single-symbol DMRS, and the total port number is 8 for double-symbol DMRS.

[0248] The number of ports invalid for the first signal can be understood as the number of ports not used for transmitting the first signal, such as the number of ports used for transmitting the second signal.

[0249] The number of ports valid for the first signal can be understood as the number of ports used for transmitting the first signal, for example, it can be the number of ports that can be used for transmitting the first signal after removing the ports invalid for the first signal.

[0250] The number of ports invalid for the second signal can be understood as the number of ports not used for transmitting the second signal. For example, when the second signal is a communication signal, because the communication signal is code division multiplexed with the first signal, part of the resources of the communication signal ports are allocated to the first signal, and this part of the ports is not available for the communication signal.

[0251] The number of ports valid for the second signal can be understood as the number of ports used for transmitting the second signal, for example, it can be the number of ports that can be used for transmitting the second signal after removing the ports invalid for the second signal.

[0252] The above general port number refers to the port number common to the first signal and the second signal, that is, the ports are used for transmission of the first signal and the second signal, such as ports used for sensing and communication at the same time.

[0253] The above port number information can enable better transmission of the first signal or the second signal between the first device and the second device, thereby improving signal transmission reliability.

[0254] The above indication for indicating whether the port corresponding to the first signal is occupied by the second signal can be understood as an indication of whether the port resource is occupied by the signal corresponding to the non-current signal configuration information (such as the signal configuration information of the second signal). For example, when different signals need to be code division multiplexed, the system defaults a specific port number or port index to be assigned to the signal corresponding to the non-current signal configuration information, and the receiving end can determine the allocation of the port resource through the indication, such as determining which ports are available or unavailable.

[0255] The above port information that the port corresponding to the second signal is occupied by the first signal can also be understood as information that the first signal occupies the port corresponding to the second signal, which can be the number of ports or port index information of the port corresponding to the second signal occupied by the first signal. For example, the first signal is code division multiplexed with the second signal (such as DMRS) on the third frequency domain resource, the first signal occupies the port p = 1000 of the second signal, and the sensing signal receiving device knows the code division multiplexing type of the first signal and the second signal on the third frequency domain resource, that is, FD-cdm2, and the occupied port index 1000 (different ports correspond to specific frequency domain resource unit positions and OCCs used), which can effectively solve the first signal on the third frequency domain resource.

[0256] The above port index information can be the actual port index (1000, 1001,...) of the port corresponding to the second signal occupied by the first signal, or an equivalent port index (0, 1, 2,...), wherein the equivalent port index is the port index corresponding to the actual port index of the occupied reference signal. For example, in the above example, 1000 corresponds to port 0, 1001 corresponds to port 1,...; if it is CSI-RS, it can be p = 3000 corresponding to equivalent port index 0, 3001 corresponding to equivalent port index 1,.... Alternatively, the first signal can occupy by default according to the port index from small to large, or according to other preset rules, in which case the information of the occupied port does not need to be specially indicated, and only the port number of the first signal needs to be known.

[0257] The above port information that the port corresponding to the second signal is occupied by the first signal can enable the receiving device of the first signal to more reliably parse the first signal, thereby improving the transmission reliability of the first signal.

[0258] The indication indicating whether the port corresponding to the second signal is occupied by the first signal can be understood as an indication of whether a port resource is occupied by a signal corresponding to non-current signal configuration information (such as signal configuration information of the first signal).

[0259] The first port index information can include at least one of the following:

[0260] All port indexes, port indexes invalid for the first signal, port indexes valid for the first signal, port indexes for sensing, port indexes for communication, and general port indexes.

[0261] The second port index information can include at least one of the following:

[0262] All port indexes, port indexes invalid for the second signal, port indexes valid for the second signal, port indexes for sensing, port indexes for communication, and general port indexes.

[0263] The all port indexes can be indexes of all ports corresponding to the total number of ports, such as indexes of all ports available for the first signal and the second signal. Alternatively, the all port indexes can be indexes of all ports subjected to code division multiplexing, and the all port indexes can be indexes of all ports in a CDM group. In addition, the all port indexes can be understood as indexes of a plurality of ports available for transmission of the first signal and the second signal.

[0264] In some embodiments, the port indexes can be a list of port indexes, such as a list of all port indexes. For example, for a port, the list of indexes corresponding to the port is the index of the port. For example, for a port invalid for the second signal, the list of indexes invalid for the second signal is the index invalid for the second signal.

[0265] In some embodiments, the port index information can be actual port indexes (1000, 1001, …) or equivalent port indexes (0, 1, 2, …), wherein the equivalent port indexes are port indexes corresponding to occupied actual port indexes, for example, actual port index 1000 corresponds to equivalent port index 0, actual port index 1001 corresponds to equivalent port index 1, and so on. The use of equivalent port indexes can enable a unified set of port indexes to indicate occupied ports when the first signal is subjected to code division multiplexing with different second signals, thereby reducing the complexity of signal configuration information.

[0266] The port index information can enable accurate ports to be used for signal transmission between the first device and the second device, thereby improving signal transmission reliability.

[0267] The first code division multiplexing information or the second code division multiplexing information is used to indicate relevant information of code division multiplexing of the first signal and the second signal. For example, the first code division multiplexing information includes at least one of the following:

[0268] a code division multiplexing type, an indication for indicating code division multiplexing with the second signal;

[0269] or,

[0270] The second code division multiplexing information includes at least one of the following:

[0271] a code division multiplexing type, an indication for indicating code division multiplexing with the first signal.

[0272] The code division multiplexing type can include at least one of the following:

[0273] fd-CDM2, fd-CDM2 is a multiplexing of 2 ports on 2 REs of 2 subcarriers in the frequency domain and 1 OFDM symbol in the time domain;

[0274] cdm4-FD2-TD2, cdm4-FD2-TD2 is a multiplexing of 4 ports on 4 REs of 2 subcarriers in the frequency domain and 2 OFDM symbols in the time domain;

[0275] cdm8-FD2-TD4, cdm8-FD2-TD4 is a multiplexing of 8 ports on 8 REs of 2 subcarriers in the frequency domain and 4 OFDM symbols in the time domain.

[0276] The indication for indicating code division multiplexing with the second signal in the first code division multiplexing information can be understood as an indication for code division multiplexing with a signal corresponding to non-current signal configuration information (such as signal configuration information of the second signal), such as an indication for whether to code division multiplexing with the second signal.

[0277] The indication for indicating code division multiplexing with the first signal in the second code division multiplexing information can be understood as an indication for code division multiplexing with a signal corresponding to non-current signal configuration information (such as signal configuration information of the first signal), such as an indication for whether to code division multiplexing with the first signal.

[0278] The code division multiplexing information can enable reliable code division multiplexing of the first signal and the second signal.

[0279] In some embodiments, the signal configuration information of the first signal or the second signal can be configured in a CDM group as a granularity, for example, indicating whether there is a port unavailable in the CDM group, or indicating which ports in the CDM group are unavailable.

[0280] In some embodiments, in the case that the first frequency domain resource comprises a plurality of the third frequency domain resources:

[0281] The port-related information of the first signal or the first code division multiplexing information is configured in granularity of the third frequency domain resource; or

[0282] The port-related information of the first signal or the first code division multiplexing information is shared by the plurality of the third frequency domain resources.

[0283] The plurality of the third frequency domain resources can correspond to a plurality of second signals. For example, the first signal is of a large bandwidth, and different parts of the bandwidth of the received signal of the first signal can be code division multiplexed with different second signals (on different third frequency domain resources). The receiving devices corresponding to the second signals can be different or the same.

[0284] The port-related information of the first signal or the first code division multiplexing information configured in granularity of the third frequency domain resource can be understood as that the first signal configuration information comprises the port-related information of the first signal or the first code division multiplexing information corresponding to the plurality of third frequency domain resources respectively, and the plurality of the port-related information of the first signal or the first code division multiplexing information can be the same or different, which can be configured according to actual needs.

[0285] Since the port-related information of the first signal or the first code division multiplexing information is configured in granularity of the third frequency domain resource, the receiving device of the first signal can better decode the first signal from the plurality of third frequency domain resources, and the transmission flexibility of the first signal and the plurality of second signals can be improved to meet the needs of more services or scenarios.

[0286] The port-related information of the first signal or the first code division multiplexing information shared by the plurality of the third frequency domain resources can be understood as that the code division multiplexing manners of the plurality of the third frequency domain resources are the same, so that only one code division multiplexing information or port-related information needs to be included, thereby saving the overhead of signal configuration information.

[0287] In some embodiments, the signal configuration information of the first signal or the second signal can further comprise at least one of the following:

[0288] signal resource identifier, signal purpose, waveform, subcarrier spacing, guard interval, starting frequency domain position, ending frequency domain position, starting time domain position, ending time domain position, frequency domain resource length, time domain resource length, frequency domain resource interval, time domain resource interval, time domain resource characteristic, signal power, signal direction, sequence information, quasi co-location (QCL) relationship, cyclic prefix (CP) information.

[0289] The signal resource identifier is used to distinguish different signal resource configurations.

[0291] The waveform can be OFDM, single-carrier frequency-division multiple access (SC-FDMA), orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS), frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW), or pulse signal, etc.

[0292] The subcarrier spacing can be the subcarrier spacing of an OFDM system, for example, 30KHz.

[0293] The guard interval can be the time interval between the end of signal transmission and the time when the latest echo signal of the signal is received, which is proportional to the maximum sensing distance. For example, it can be calculated by c / (2R max ), where R max is the maximum sensing distance (belonging to sensing requirement information), such as for self-emitting and self-receiving sensing signals, R max represents the maximum distance from the sensing signal transmission point to the signal transmission point; in some cases, the OFDM cyclic prefix (CP) can act as a minimum guard interval, and c is the speed of light.

[0294] The frequency domain starting position can be a starting frequency point, or a starting RE or RB index.

[0295] The terminal frequency domain position, i.e., the terminal frequency point, can be represented by a terminal RE or RB index.

[0296] The time domain starting position can be a starting time point, or a starting symbol, time slot, or frame index.

[0297] The frequency domain resource length can be understood as a frequency domain bandwidth, and the frequency domain bandwidth is inversely proportional to the distance resolution. The frequency domain bandwidth B of each signal satisfies B≥c / (2ΔR), where c is the speed of light and ΔR is the distance resolution.

[0298] The time domain resource length can be a burst duration, and the time domain resource length is inversely proportional to the Doppler resolution (which belongs to the perception requirement information).

[0299] The frequency domain resource interval can represent an interval of adjacent signal frequency domain resource units, which can be represented by a number of REs or a number of RBs, or can be represented by a density value (Density), for example, Density = 1 represents that one RE in each RB is used to carry a signal. The frequency domain resource interval is inversely proportional to the maximum unambiguous range / delay, wherein, for an OFDM system, when subcarriers are mapped continuously, the frequency domain interval is equal to the subcarrier interval; the frequency domain resource unit interval can also be represented by a comb mapping parameter K comb , for example, comb1 (K comb = 1) represents continuous mapping in the frequency domain, comb2 (K comb = 2) represents sequence mapping every 1 subcarrier in the frequency domain (for example, the signal occupies subcarriers 0, 2, 4,...), and comb4 (K comb = 4) represents sequence mapping every 3 subcarriers in the frequency domain (for example, the signal occupies subcarriers 0, 4, 8,...).

[0300] The time domain resource interval can be a time interval between two adjacent signals, and the time domain resource interval is associated with the maximum unambiguous Doppler shift or the maximum unambiguous speed.

[0301] The time domain characteristics satisfy at least one of the following: periodic transmission, semi-persistent transmission, and aperiodic transmission.

[0302] The signal power can be an interval power value, for example, from -20 dBm to 23 dBm, taking a value every 2 dBm.

[0303] The signal direction can be angle information or beam information of signal transmission.

[0304] The QCL relationship can represent that the signal includes multiple resources, each resource is QCL with an SSB, and the QCL includes Type A, Type B, Type C, or Type D.

[0305] The cyclic prefix (CP) information can include a CP type or a CP length, for example, a normal cyclic prefix (NCP), an extended cyclic prefix (ECP), or a newly designed CP dedicated for perception measurement.

[0306] The signal configuration information can further include a time domain burst resource interval or a time domain burst transmission period, and the time domain burst resource interval or the time domain burst transmission period is associated with a perception result refresh frequency.

[0307] In some embodiments, all or part of the signal configuration information of the first signal or the second signal can be agreed upon or pre-configured.

[0308] As an optional embodiment, the first signal and a third signal are frequency division multiplexed or code division multiplexed on the first frequency domain resource, and the third signal is a signal transmitted by a third device for sensing.

[0309] Or,

[0310] The second signal and a fourth signal are frequency division multiplexed or code division multiplexed on the second frequency domain resource, and the fourth signal is a signal transmitted by a fourth device.

[0311] The third device can be a terminal or a network side device.

[0312] The time domain resources occupied by the first signal and the third signal overlap, such as the time domain resources occupied by the first signal and the third signal being the same, or the time domain resources occupied by the first signal containing the time domain resources occupied by the third signal, or the time domain resources occupied by the third signal containing the time domain resources occupied by the first signal.

[0314] For frequency division multiplexing, the first signal and the third signal on the first frequency domain resource can occupy different frequency domain resource units through frequency domain Comb mapping, or the second signal and the fourth signal on the second frequency domain resource can occupy different frequency domain resource units through frequency domain Comb mapping.

[0315] In some embodiments, in the case where the first signal and the third signal are code division multiplexed on the first frequency domain resource, the base sequence of the first signal is the same as that of the third signal, the orthogonal cover code of the first signal is different from that of the third signal, and the frequency domain resources occupied by the first signal and the third signal are the same.

[0316] In some embodiments, in the case where the second signal and the fourth signal are code division multiplexed on the second frequency domain resource, the base sequence of the second signal is the same as that of the fourth signal, the orthogonal cover code of the second signal is different from that of the fourth signal, and the frequency domain resources occupied by the second signal and the fourth signal are the same.

[0317] In the optional implementation, the signals transmitted by the multiple signal transmitting devices are frequency division multiplexed or code division multiplexed to improve the communication rate.

[0318] As an optional implementation, the third frequency domain resource includes M frequency domain resources, the M frequency domain resources carry M second signals, the signal receiving devices of the M second signals are different, and the first signal carried on the M frequency domain resources is part of the sensing signal in the sensing service, and M is an integer greater than 1.

[0321] The signal receiving devices of the M second signals can be different, which means that the second signals carried on different frequency domain resources are directed to different communication devices, thereby transmitting the second signals to M devices to improve signal transmission performance.

[0322] The first signal carried on the M frequency domain resources can be part of the signal detected by the sensing service, such as all the first signals transmitted on the first frequency domain resource.

[0323] The signal receiving device of the second signal and the sensing receiving device of the first signal can be the same device or different devices.

[0324] As an optional implementation, the first signal or the second signal can be a periodic signal, a semi-persistent signal, or a non-periodic signal, and when the time domain resources of the first signal and the second signal conflict, the first signal and the second signal are code division multiplexed.

[0325] In this implementation, it can be a periodic signal, a semi-persistent signal, or a non-periodic signal, which can be flexibly code division multiplexed, suitable for more services or scenarios.

In this way, since the first frequency domain resource and the second frequency domain resource have the overlapping third frequency domain resource, and the time domain resource occupied by the first signal includes the time domain resource occupied by the second signal, the first signal transmitted on the third frequency domain resource is code division multiplexed with the second signal transmitted on the third frequency domain resource, so that the time domain resources occupied by the first signal and the second signal on the third frequency domain resource can be the same, that is, the first signal and the second signal are transmitted simultaneously on the same time domain resource, thereby improving the communication rate.

[0382] the port related information of the first signal or the first code division multiplexing information is configured in granularity of the third frequency domain resource; or

[0383] the port related information of the first signal or the first code division multiplexing information is shared by a plurality of the third frequency domain resources.

[0384] It should be noted that the embodiment is an implementation of the corresponding second device in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, and the specific implementation can refer to the related description of the embodiment shown in FIG. 4. To avoid repeated description, the embodiment will not be described again.

[0385] The following will take measurement as sensing as an example to illustrate the method provided in the embodiment of the application through a plurality of embodiments:

[0386] The embodiment mainly describes the code division multiplexing scheme of the first signal and the second signal for sensing, and takes the second signal as a communication signal for example. When the second signal is a signal for sensing, the signal generation and mapping process is similar, and will not be described again.

[0387] The corresponding scenario of this embodiment is that the time domain resource of the first signal and the communication signal conflicts, for example, the scenario that the first signal and the communication signal need to be transmitted on the same OFDM symbol, as shown in FIG. 10. Wherein, B1 is the first frequency domain resource; B2 is the third frequency domain resource, B 21 、B 22 、B 23 is the third frequency domain resource allocated to different users, and in FIG. 10, the third frequency domain resource is equal to the second frequency domain resource (in the following embodiments, the third frequency domain resource is equal to the second frequency domain resource is taken as an example), wherein, here, the different users can be different receiving devices or transmitting devices; ΔT is the time domain resource interval or the time domain transmission period of the first signal, T p is the coherent processing time, that is, the time domain resource length for calculating the sensing measurement result each time (for example, the time domain resource length corresponding to the distance-Doppler spectrum obtained by performing two-dimensional FFT operation), and the coherent processing time can include multiple time slots or symbols.

[0388] A base sequence r = [r(0), r(1), …, r(N-1)] of the first signal or the communication signal is generated, and the length N of the base sequence is associated with the maximum system bandwidth (the maximum number of PRBs ) or the bandwidth allocated by the system for sensing (the maximum bandwidth resource occupied by the first signal).

[0389] For example, the maximum system bandwidth At this time, the subcarrier spacing OFDM subcarrier spacing Δf = 30 kHz, the maximum number of PRBs The length of the base sequence Wherein, is the number of subcarriers in each RB, and is taken as

[0390] For another example, the maximum system bandwidth At this time, the subcarrier spacing OFDM subcarrier spacing Δf = 120 kHz, the maximum number of PRBs The length of the base sequence

[0391] The orthogonal cover code used by the first signal and the communication signal is determined. Wherein, the mapping method of different CDM types is shown in FIG. 11, wherein the RE associated with CDM can be adjacent REs as shown in FIG. 11, or can be non-adjacent REs. FIG. 11 shows the schematic diagram of fd-CDM2, cdm4-FD2-TD2, cdm8-FD2-TD4, and fd-CDM2 orthogonal code.

[0392] The first signal sequence is obtained according to the OCC used by the base sequence and the first signal, and is mapped to the first frequency domain resource; the communication signal sequence is obtained according to the OCC used by the base sequence and the communication signal, and is mapped to the third frequency domain resource. The first frequency domain resource includes the third frequency domain resource. The specific mapping elements are as follows: k'∈{0,1} l'∈{0,1,2,3}

[0393] wherein, represents an element mapped on a resource with RE index k and symbol index l, k is the RE index, l is the symbol index, p is the port index, μ refers to a numerology corresponding to a subcarrier spacing, β RS is a power adjustment factor, k is the RE index, l is the symbol index, r(k) represents a corresponding element in the base sequence, w f (k')w t (l') represents the OCC.

[0394] The values of k and l are associated with the time and frequency domain resource patterns of the first signal and the communication signal, for example: the frequency domain mapping position, that is, the RE index, is determined according to the frequency domain starting position, the frequency domain resource density or the comb mapping parameter; the time domain mapping position, that is, the OFDM symbol index, is determined according to the time domain transmission period and the symbol offset in the time slot. In addition, the elements of the base sequence are not selected in order, but the corresponding elements r(k) are selected according to the frequency domain mapping position.

[0395] Optionally, the CDM type can only support frequency domain CDM, for example, only fd-CDM2 is supported, at this time k'∈{0,1}, l'f=0.

[0396] The specific values of the OCC are shown in Tables 3, 4 and 5:

[0397] Table 3 shows the values of w f (k')w t (l') when the CDM type is fd-CDM2

[0398] Table 3:

[0399] Table 4 shows the values of w f (k')w t (l') when the CDM type is cdm4-FD2-TD2

[0400] Table 4:

[0401] Table 5 shows the values of w f (k')w t (l') when the CDM type is cdm8-FD2-TD4

[0402] Table 5:

[0403] For example, the first signal and the communication signal adopt fd-CDM2, the OCC used by the first signal is [w f (0)w f (1)] = [+1+1], and the OCC used by the communication signal is [w f (0)w f (1)] = [+1-1]. The first signal sequence is obtained according to the base sequence and the OCC used by the first signal, and is mapped to the first frequency domain resource (RB0~RB272); the communication signal sequence is obtained according to the base sequence and the OCC used by the communication signal, and is mapped to the third frequency domain resource (RB0~RB1), as shown in FIG. 12.

[0404] The resource unit mapped by the sequence can be continuous or discontinuous, as shown in FIG. 13.

[0405] This embodiment mainly describes the base sequence generation method of the first signal and the second signal.

[0406] For example, the base sequence of the first signal and the second signal is a QPSK modulated Gold sequence, and the specific generation method is as follows:

[0407] A Gold sequence c(n) with a length of 2N, n=0, 1,…, 2N-1, is generated, and the Gold sequence generation method is

[0408] c(n) = (x1(n+N c )+x2(n+N c ))mod 2

[0409] x1(n+31) = (x1(n+3)+x1(n))mod 2

[0410] x2(n+31) = (x2(n+3)+x2(n+2)+x2(n+1)+x2(n))mod 2

[0411] Wherein, n=0, 1,…, M PN -1, M PN =2N is the sequence length. N c =1600, the initialization mode of the first m sequence x1(n) is x1(0)=1, x1(n)=0, n=1, 2,…, 30; and the initialization mode of the second m sequence x2(n) is

[0412] The Gold sequence c(n) with a length of 2N is QPSK modulated to obtain the base sequence with a length of N:

[0413] wherein the initialization factor c init is calculated in association with at least one of the sensing service related information, the device information, the time domain resource related information, the frequency domain resource related information, the spatial domain resource related information, and the sequence identification , specifically, can be:

[0415] wherein is the number of symbols in each time slot, is the time slot index within a radio frame, l is the symbol index within a time slot, and x is a non-negative positive integer. In the initialization formula, the coefficient parameter of the first term can be determined according to the value range of the variable of the following several terms and the value of the coefficient parameter, for example, if the sensing area ID is 1000, it needs to be represented by 10 bits of binary number, then x can be set to 10, so as to ensure that there is no repeated generated sequence, wherein A is a non-negative positive integer, which can be set to 31.

[0416] or or wherein is the physical cell identifier, which can also be wherein x and y are non-negative positive integers.

[0417] or wherein n port is the port index, and x, y, and z are non-negative positive integers.

[0418] or c init = (2 x (n win + 1) + n port ) mod 2 A , which can also be wherein n win is the coherent processing time window / sensing resource block index.

[0419] or, taking the sensing area as an example,

[0420] wherein is the number of symbols in each time slot, is the number of time slots per frame in the subcarrier spacing configuration, and n areaIDFor the perception area identifier, x is a non-negative positive integer. In the initialization formula, the coefficient parameter of the first term can be determined according to the variable value range and the coefficient parameter value of the following several terms, for example, if the perception area ID is 1000, 10 bits of binary number are needed to represent, then x can be set to 10, so as to ensure that no duplicate generation sequence is generated, where A is a non-negative positive integer, and A can be set to 31.

[0421] Or, wherein is a physical cell identifier, which can also be wherein x,

[0422] y is a non-negative positive integer.

[0423] The embodiment mainly describes the multi-port resource allocation, and further describes the signal resource allocation corresponding to the multiple ports and the related indication.

[0424] Taking the second signal as an example, the DMRS of the 5G system, as shown in FIG. 14, is the time-frequency domain resource format of the DMRS type 1, for the DMRS type 1:

[0425] Single-symbol DMRS, the subcarriers in one OFDM symbol are divided into two groups of frequency-divided comb resources, and each group of comb resources forms a CDM group. The 2-port multiplexing is supported in the CDM group through 2 OCCs (OCC mapping is performed between every two adjacent re), and at most 4 ports are supported.

[0426] Double-symbol DMRS, on the basis of single-symbol, time-domain OCC is added, each group of comb resources occupies two consecutive OFDM symbols, and 4 orthogonal ports are realized through 4 time-frequency domain OCCs in each CDM group, and at most 8 ports are supported.

[0427] According to the scheme provided in the embodiment of the application, for the configuration type 1 single-symbol DMRS, it is assumed that the first signal occupies the continuous RE resources on the first frequency domain resource (for example, RB0~RB272), and the RE occupied by the first signal and the DMRS port 0 or 1 corresponding signal on the RB occupied by the DMRS is the same, which can be that the first signal and the DMRS use the same base sequence, and the base sequence generation manner is as in the second embodiment. Wherein, the first signal and the DMRS port 0 corresponding signal use the same OCC, the CDM type of the first signal and the communication signal (DMRS) is fd-CDM2, and the OCC used by the first signal is [w f (0)w f(1)] = [+1+1], i.e. the resource of DMRS port 0 (p=1000) is allocated to the first signal. In this way, for the DMRS type 1 single symbol configuration, the maximum total number of communication ports supported is 3 (the number of communication ports in CDM group 0 is 1, and the number of communication ports in CDM group 1 is 2). That is, for the communication receiving device, the DMRS port 0 is set as an invalid port.

[0428] For double symbol DMRS, assuming that the first signal occupies the continuous RE resources on the first frequency domain resource (for example, RB0~RB272), and the RE occupied by the first signal is the same as the RE occupied by the DMRS port 0 or 1 or 4 or 5 corresponding signal on the RB occupied by the DMRS, it can be that the first signal and the DMRS use the same base sequence, and the base sequence generation manner is as in Embodiment 2. Among them, the first signal and the DMRS port 0 corresponding signal use the same OCC, the CDM type of the first signal and the communication signal (DMRS) uses cdm4-FD2-TD2, and the frequency domain OCC used by the first signal is [w f (0)w f (1)] = [+1+1], the time domain OCC used is [w t (0)w t (1)] = [+1+1]. That is, the resource of DMRS port 0 (p=1000) is allocated to the first signal. In this way, for the DMRS type 1 double symbol configuration, the maximum total number of communication ports supported is 7 (the number of communication ports in CDM group 0 is 3, and the number of communication ports in CDM group 1 is 4). That is, for the communication receiving device, the DMRS port 0 is set as an invalid port. That is, for the first signal, the index of the port occupied by the DMRS is 1000, and the corresponding equivalent port index is 0. The equivalent port index is the port index corresponding to the actual port index of the occupied reference signal, and the use of the equivalent port index can make the first signal and different reference signals multiplexed in code division all use a unified port index set to indicate the occupied port.

[0429] In addition to the configuration type 1, the current DMRS also supports the configuration type 2, which further improves the maximum number of supported ports. At this time, the number of supported CDM groups is 3, and both single symbol configuration and double symbol configuration are supported, as shown in FIG. 15:

[0430] Single symbol DMRS, the subcarriers in one OFDM symbol are divided into 3 CDM groups, and each CDM group is composed of two adjacent subcarriers. 2 OCCs are used to support 2 port multiplexing within the CDM group, and FDM between groups, and at most 6 ports are supported.

[0431] Double-symbol DMRS, on the basis of single-symbol, increase time-domain OCC, each CDM group occupies two consecutive OFDM symbols, each CDM group realizes four orthogonal ports through four time-frequency domain OCC, and at most supports 12 ports.

[0432] According to the scheme provided in the embodiment of the application, for single-symbol DMRS, assuming that the first signal occupies continuous RE resources on the first frequency domain resource (for example, RB0~RB272), the RE occupied by the first signal on the RB occupied by the DMRS is the same as the RE occupied by the signal corresponding to the DMRS port 0~5 (that is, the first signal occupies RE0~11 on the RB occupied by the DMRS), the first signal and the DMRS can use the same base sequence, and the base sequence generation mode is as in the second embodiment. Wherein, the first signal and the signal corresponding to the DMRS port 0, 2, 4 use the same OCC, the CDM type of the first signal and the communication signal (DMRS) is fd-CDM2, and the OCC used by the first signal is [w f (0)w f (1)] = [+1+1], that is, the resources of the DMRS port 0 (p = 1000), 2 (p = 1002), 4 (p = 1004) are allocated to the first signal. In this way, for the DMRS type 2 single-symbol configuration, the maximum total number of communication ports supported is 3 (the number of communication ports in the CDM group 0 is 1, the number of communication ports in the CDM group 1 is 1, and the number of communication ports in the CDM group 2 is 1). That is, for the communication receiving device, the DMRS port 0, 2, 4 is set as an invalid port. That is, for the first signal, the indexes of the ports occupied by the DMRS are 1000, 1002, 1004, and the corresponding equivalent port indexes are 0, 2, 4.

[0433] For the double-symbol case, the method of port resource allocation is similar and will not be repeated here. It can be that the smaller index port resource in each CDM group is allocated to the first signal by default, or other communication port resources can be allocated to the first signal. That is, for the communication device, the number of invalid ports and the specific invalid port index can also be other cases, which are all within the protection scope of the embodiment of the application.

[0434] Alternatively, taking the second signal 5G system CSI-RS as an example, the resource configuration is more flexible, and multiple CSI-RS resources can be used for sensing measurement. The number of ports (Port) of the CSI-RS resource (CSI-RS resource) can be single-port or multi-port (multi-port), and at most 32 ports.

[0435] Taking CSI-RS Row=3 as an example, it can support 2-port CSI-RS transmission based on frequency domain CDM (frequency domain OCC modulation), and uses frequency domain CDM2. The CSI-RS frequency domain density configuration is 1, that is, there are 2 REs in each resource block (RB) carrying 2-port CSI-RS signals. Assuming that the first signal occupies 273 RBs (RB0~RB272) and occupies continuous REs, the CSI-RS occupies 50 RBs (RB0~RB49). As shown in FIG. 16, RE0 and RE1 in each RB are used to transmit CSI-RS, that is, RE0 and RE1 in each of RB0~RB49 are REs commonly occupied by the first signal and CSI-RS. The resource of CSI-RS port 0 (for example, p=3000) can be allocated to the first signal. The first signal uses the same base sequence as the CSI-RS, the first signal and the signal corresponding to the CSI-RS port 0 use the same OCC, the CDM type of the first signal and the CSI-RS signal uses fd-CDM2, and the OCC used by the first signal is [w f (0)w f (1)]=[+1+1], and the OCC used by the CSI-RS port 1 (for example, p=3001) is [w f (0)w f (1)]=[+1-1]. In this way, for the current CSI-RS configuration, the maximum number of communication ports supported is 1, that is, for the CSI-RS receiving device, the CSI-RS port 0 is set as an invalid port. That is, for the first signal, the index of the port occupied by the CSI-RS is 3000, and the corresponding equivalent port index is 0.

[0436] In addition, for the scenario of configuring multiple CSI-RS resources of Row=3, multiple CSI-RS resources occupy different frequency domain positions in the same OFDM symbol (which can be realized by configuring the corresponding starting re). The CSI-RS frequency domain density is configured as 1, that is, for each CSI-RS resource, there are 2 REs in each resource block (RB) carrying 2-port CSI-RS signals. Assuming that the first signal occupies 273 RBs (RB0~RB272) and occupies continuous REs, the CSI-RS occupies 50 RBs (RB0~RB49). As shown in FIG. 17, RE0 and RE1 in each RB are used to transmit CSI-RS resource 1, RE2 and RE3 are used to transmit CSI-RS resource 2, and RE0~RE11 in each of RB0~RB49 are REs shared by the first signal and the CSI-RS, that is, the third frequency domain resource includes the frequency domain resources corresponding to multiple CSI-RS resources. The port 0 (for example, p=3000) resource of each CSI-RS resource can be allocated to the first signal. The first signal and the CSI-RS use the same base sequence, the first signal and the CSI-RS port 0 corresponding signal use the same OCC, the first signal and the CDM type of the CSI-RS signal use fd-CDM2, and the OCC used by the first signal is [w f (0)w f (1)]=[+1+1], and the OCC used by the CSI-RS port 1 (for example, p=3001) is [w f (0)w f (1)]=[+1-1]. In this way, for each CSI-RS resource, the maximum number of communication ports supported is 1, that is, for the CSI-RS receiving device, the port 0 of the corresponding CSI-RS resource is set as an invalid port. That is, for the first signal, the index of the port of each CSI-RS resource occupied is 3000, and the corresponding equivalent port index is 0.

[0437] Alternatively, for the case that one CSI-RS resource contains multiple CDM groups, for example, the case of Row = 9 is configured, at this time, 12 ports and 6 CDM groups are supported at most, multiple CSI-RS resources occupy different frequency domain positions in the same OFDM symbol (which can be realized by configuring the corresponding starting re). The CSI-RS frequency domain density is configured as 1, that is, for the CSI-RS resource, 12 REs in each resource block (RB) carry 12 port CSI-RS signals. Assuming that the first signal occupies 273 RBs (RB0~RB272), and occupies continuous REs, the CSI-RS occupies 50 RBs (RB0~RB49). As shown in FIG. 18, RE0~RE11 in each RB of RB0~RB49 are REs shared by the first signal and the CSI-RS, that is, the third frequency domain resource includes the frequency domain resource corresponding to multiple CDM groups in the CSI-RS resource. One port (for example, p = 3000, p = 3002, p = 3004, p = 3006, p = 3008, p = 3010) in each CDM group can be allocated to the first signal. The first signal and the CSI-RS use the same base sequence, the first signal and the CSI-RS port 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 (for example, p = 3000, p = 3002, p = 3004, p = 3006, p = 3008, p = 3010) corresponding signals use the same OCC, the CDM type of the first signal and the CSI-RS signal in each CDM group uses fd-CDM2, and the OCC used by the first signal is [w f (0)w f (1)] = [+1+1], and the OCC used by the CSI-RS port is [w f (0)w f (1)] = [+1-1]. In this way, for this CSI-RS resource, the maximum number of communication ports supported is 11, that is, for the CSI-RS receiving device, the corresponding port 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 (for example, p = 3000, p = 3002, p = 3004, p = 3006, p = 3008, p = 3010) of the CSI-RS resource is set as an invalid port. That is, for the first signal, the indexes of the ports occupied by the CSI-RS are 3000, 3002, 3004, 3006, 3008, 3010, and the corresponding equivalent port indexes are 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10.

[0438] It should be noted that the first signal sequence is represented by the first sensing signal sequence in FIG. 12, FIG. 13, and FIG. 16 to FIG. 18.

[0439] According to the scheme provided in the embodiment of the present application, the code division multiplexing scheme of the first signal and the communication signal (CSI-RS) on the third frequency domain resource can be that the minimum index port resource of all port resources supported by the default communication signal is allocated to the first signal, or that the odd index port resource is allocated to the first signal, or that the port resource using the OCC with all sequence elements being +1 is allocated to the first signal; or it can also be that the specific port resource in each CDM group of the communication signal is allocated to the first signal, or that the specific port resource in the specific CDM group (for example, CDM group 0) of the communication signal is allocated to the first signal; or it can also be other default port resource allocation methods, at this time, the communication signal receiving device can only be notified of whether there is a port allocated to the first signal, that is, whether the indication of code division multiplexing with the signal corresponding to the non-current signal configuration information, or whether there is a port resource occupied by the signal corresponding to the non-current signal configuration information, or the communication signal receiving device is notified of the number of invalid ports or the number of valid ports of the communication signal, and the receiving device can determine which specific port resources are allocated to the first signal according to the specific port resource allocation rule.

[0440] Or, the communication signal receiving device can also be notified of which specific port resources are allocated to the first signal, for example, a specific valid or invalid port index list. For the code division multiplexing of the first signal and the second signal (another sensing signal), different sensing signals are code division multiplexed and use common port resources, the total number of ports of the sensing signal is indicated to each sensing signal receiving device through related signaling, and the specific valid or invalid port index list is indicated through related signaling, so as to indicate which ports of the sensing signal are valid and which ports are invalid, that is, allocated to other sensing signals.

[0441] In the method provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the time domain resources of the sensing signal and other signals conflict, that is, the two signals occupy the same time domain position, the joint transmission of the two signals is realized through code division multiplexing. Specifically, the first device transmits a first signal on a first frequency domain resource and transmits a second signal (a communication signal or another sensing signal) on at least one third frequency domain resource, wherein the third frequency domain resource is a subset of the first frequency domain resource; the first signal and the second signal on the third frequency domain resource are code division multiplexed. Due to the design of the second signal and the code division multiplexing of the two signals, the resource utilization efficiency is improved without reducing the sensing performance or the communication performance.

In the embodiment of the present application, the signal transmission device is taken as an example to illustrate the signal transmission device provided in the embodiment of the present application.
