[0040] FIG. 1 illustrates a device-to-device communication procedure according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 1 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure, and some descriptions, functions, procedures, proposals, methods, and / or operations of the embodiments may be omitted.

[0041] Referring to FIG. 1, in step S101, a first device and a second device can perform synchronization. For example, the first device can be a terminal and / or at least one of the devices proposed in the present disclosure. For example, the second device can be a base station, a network, a RAN node, an NTN node / cell, a TRP, a terminal and / or at least one of the devices proposed in the present disclosure. For example, the first device can perform an initial cell search operation. For example, the first device can detect at least one synchronization signal transmitted by the second device according to a predefined rule. Here, for example, the synchronization signal can include a plurality of synchronization signals classified according to a structure or purpose (e.g., a primary synchronization signal, a secondary synchronization signal, etc.). Through this, the first device can identify the boundaries of the frame, subframe, time unit, slot, and / or symbol of the second device, and the first device can obtain information about the second device (e.g., a cell identifier).

[0042] In step S103, the first device can obtain system information transmitted by the second device. For example, the system information may include information related to the properties, characteristics, and / or capabilities of the second device required to connect to the second device and use the service. For example, the system information may be classified according to content (e.g., whether it is essential for connection), transmission structure (e.g., the channel used, whether it is provided on-demand), etc. For example, the system information may be classified into a master information block (MIB) and a system information block (SIB). For example, if necessary, the first device may transmit a signal requesting system information before receiving the system information. For example, the request and provision of system information may be performed after a random access procedure described below.

[0043] In step S105, the first device and the second device can perform a random access procedure. For example, the first device can transmit and / or receive at least one message (e.g., a random access preamble, a random access response message, etc.) for the random access procedure based on information related to a random access channel of the second device obtained through system information (e.g., channel location, channel structure, structure of supported preamble, etc.). For example, the first device can transmit a preamble (e.g., Msg1) through the random access channel, the first device can receive a random access response message (e.g., Msg2), the first device can transmit a message (e.g., Msg3) including information related to the first device (e.g., identification information) to the second device using scheduling information included in the random access response message, and the first device can receive a message (e.g., Msg4) for contention resolution and / or connection establishment. For example, Msg1 and Msg3 can be sent and received as one message (e.g., MsgA), and / or Msg2 and Msg4 can be sent and received as one message (e.g., MsgB).

[0044] In step S107, the first device and the second device may perform signaling of control information. Here, for example, the control information may be defined in various layers, such as a layer that controls a connection (e.g., a radio resource control (RRC) layer), a layer that handles mapping between logical channels and transport channels (e.g., a media access control (MAC) layer), a layer that handles physical channels (e.g., a physical (PHY) layer), etc. For example, the first device and the second device may perform at least one of signaling for establishing a connection, signaling for determining settings related to communication, and / or signaling for indicating allocated resources. For example, the control information may be signaled / transmitted via a control channel. For example, the control information and / or the control channel may be used to schedule at least one of data, a data channel (e.g., a shared channel), and / or control information on the data channel.

[0045] In step S109, the first device and the second device may transmit and / or receive data. For example, the first device and the second device may process, transmit, and / or receive data based on signaling of control information. For example, when transmitting data, the first device or the second device may perform at least one of channel encoding, rate matching, scrambling, constellation mapping, layer mapping, waveform modulation, antenna mapping, and / or resource mapping on the information bits. For example, when receiving data, the first device or the second device may perform at least one of signal extraction from resources, waveform demodulation for each antenna, signal arrangement considering layer mapping, constellation demapping, descrambling, and / or channel decoding.

[0046] For example, the layers of a radio interface protocol between a first device and a second device can be divided into L1 (layer 1), L2 (layer 2), L3 (layer 3), etc. For example, a physical layer belonging to the first layer can provide an information transfer service using a physical channel, and an RRC (radio resource control) layer located in the third layer can play a role in controlling radio resources between the first device and the second device. For this purpose, for example, the RRC layer can exchange RRC messages between the first device and the second device.

[0047] FIG. 2 illustrates a radio protocol architecture according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 2 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure, and some descriptions, functions, procedures, proposals, methods, and / or operations of the embodiments may be omitted. For example, (a) of FIG. 2 may illustrate a radio protocol stack of a user plane for uplink communication or downlink communication, and (b) of FIG. 2 may illustrate a radio protocol stack of a control plane for uplink communication or downlink communication. For example, (c) of FIG. 2 may illustrate a radio protocol stack of a user plane for device-to-device communication, and (d) of FIG. 2 may illustrate a radio protocol stack of a control plane for device-to-device communication.

[0048] For example, the physical layer can provide information transmission services to upper layers using physical channels. For example, the physical layer can be connected to the upper layer, the medium access control (MAC) layer, through a transport channel. For example, data can be transmitted between the MAC layer and the physical layer through the transport channel. For example, transport channels can be classified according to how and with what characteristics data is transmitted over the wireless interface. For example, data can be transmitted between different physical layers (e.g., between the physical layers of a first device and a second device) through a physical channel. For example, the physical channel can be modulated using an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) scheme, and time and frequency can be utilized as radio resources.

[0049] For example, the MAC layer can provide services to the upper layer, the radio link control (RLC) layer, through logical channels. For example, the MAC layer can provide a mapping function from multiple logical channels to multiple transport channels. For example, the MAC layer can provide a logical channel multiplexing function by mapping multiple logical channels to a single transport channel. For example, the MAC sublayer can provide data transmission services on logical channels.

[0050] For example, the RLC layer can perform concatenation, segmentation, and reassembly of RLC service data units (SDUs). For example, to guarantee the various quality of service (QoS) required by radio bearers (RBs), the RLC layer can provide three operating modes: transparent mode (TM), unacknowledged mode (UM), and acknowledged mode (AM). For example, AM RLC can provide error correction through automatic repeat request (ARQ).

[0051] For example, the RRC (radio resource control) layer can be defined only in the control plane. For example, the RRC layer can be responsible for controlling logical channels, transport channels, and physical channels in relation to the configuration, re-configuration, and release of radio bearers. For example, an RB can mean a logical path provided by a first layer (e.g., a physical layer) and a second layer (e.g., a MAC layer, an RLC layer, a PDCP (packet data convergence protocol) layer, a SDAP (service data adaptation protocol) layer, etc.) for data transmission between a first device and a second device.

[0052] For example, the functions of the PDCP layer in the user plane may include forwarding of user data, header compression, and ciphering. For example, the functions of the PDCP layer in the control plane may include forwarding of control plane data and ciphering / integrity protection.

[0053] For example, establishing an RB can refer to the process of defining the characteristics of the radio protocol layer and channel to provide a specific service, and setting specific parameters and operating methods for each. For example, RBs can be divided into two types: signaling radio bearers (SRBs) and data radio bearers (DRBs). For example, SRBs can be used as a channel to transmit RRC messages in the control plane, while DRBs can be used as a channel to transmit user data in the user plane.

[0054] For example, a downlink transmission channel may include at least one of a broadcast channel (BCH) for transmitting system information, and / or a downlink shared channel (SCH) for transmitting user traffic or control messages. For example, traffic or control messages of a downlink multicast or broadcast service may be transmitted through the downlink SCH, or may be transmitted through a separate downlink multicast channel (MCH). Meanwhile, an uplink transmission channel may include at least one of a random access channel (RACH) for transmitting initial control messages, and / or an uplink shared channel (SCH) for transmitting user traffic or control messages. For example, a logical channel located above a transmission channel and mapped to the transmission channel may include at least one of a broadcast control channel (BCCH), a paging control channel (PCCH), a common control channel (CCCH), a multicast control channel (MCCH), and / or a multicast traffic channel (MTCH).

[0055] FIG. 3 illustrates the structure of a wireless frame according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 3 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure, and some descriptions, functions, procedures, proposals, methods, and / or operations of the embodiments may be omitted.

[0056] Referring to FIG. 3, for example, a radio frame may be used in uplink transmission, downlink transmission, and / or device-to-device transmission. For example, a radio frame may have a length of 10 ms and may be defined as two 5 ms half-frames (HF). For example, a half-frame may include five 1 ms subframes (SF). For example, a subframe may be divided into one or more slots, and the number of slots within a subframe may be determined according to a subcarrier spacing (SCS). For example, each slot may include 12 or 14 OFDM (A) symbols, depending on a cyclic prefix (CP).

[0057] For example, when normal CP is used, each slot can contain 14 symbols. For example, when extended CP is used, each slot can contain 12 symbols. Here, for example, the symbols can contain OFDM symbols (or CP-OFDM symbols), SC-FDMA (single carrier-FDMA) symbols (or DFT-s-OFDM (Discrete Fourier Transform-spread-OFDM) symbols).

[0058] Table 2 below shows the number of symbols per slot (N) depending on the SCS setting (u) when normal CP or extended CP is used. slot symb ), number of slots per frame (N frame,u slot ) and the number of slots per subframe (N subframe,u slot) is an example.

[0059] CP type SCS (15*2 u )N slot symb N frame,u slot N subframe,u slot Normal CP15kHz (u=0)1410130kHz (u=1)1420260kHz (u=2)14404120kHz (u=3)14808240kHz (u=4)1416016Extended CP60kHz (u=2)12404

[0060] For example, OFDM(A) numerology (e.g., SCS, CP length, etc.) may be set differently between multiple cells that are merged into a single terminal. Accordingly, the (absolute time) interval of time resources (e.g., subframes, slots, or transmit time intervals (TTIs)) composed of the same number of symbols may be set differently between the merged cells. For example, in the present disclosure, time resources such as subframes, slots, TTIs, etc. may be referred to as time units.

[0061] For example, multiple numerologies, or SCSs, may be supported to support various services. For example, a 15 kHz SCS may support wide areas in traditional cellular bands, while a 30 kHz / 60 kHz SCS may support dense urban areas, lower latency, and wider carrier bandwidth. For example, a 60 kHz or higher SCS may support bandwidths greater than 24.25 GHz to overcome phase noise.

[0062] FIG. 4 illustrates a slot structure of a frame according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 4 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure, and some descriptions, functions, procedures, proposals, methods, and / or operations of the embodiments may be omitted.

[0063] Referring to FIG. 4, for example, a slot may include multiple symbols in the time domain. For example, a carrier may include multiple subcarriers in the frequency domain. For example, a resource block (RB) may be defined as multiple consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain. For example, a bandwidth part (BWP) may be defined as multiple consecutive (P)RBs ((physical) resource blocks) in the frequency domain, and may correspond to one numerology (e.g., SCS, CP length, etc.). For example, a carrier may include at most N BWPs (where N is a positive integer). For example, data communication may be performed through an activated BWP. For example, each element may be referred to as a resource element (RE) in the resource grid, and one complex symbol may be mapped to it.

[0064] For example, a BWP may be a contiguous set of PRBs in a given numerology. For example, a PRB may be selected from a contiguous subset of common resource blocks (CRBs) for a given numerology on a given carrier.

[0065] For example, the BWP may be at least one of an active BWP, an initial BWP, and / or a default BWP. For example, the UE may not monitor the downlink radio link quality in a DL BWP other than the active DL BWP on the PCell (primary cell). For example, the UE may not receive a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), or a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) (except for radio resource management (RRM)) outside of the active DL BWP. For example, the UE may not trigger channel state information (CSI) reporting for an inactive DL BWP. For example, the UE may not transmit a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) outside of the active UL BWP. For example, for downlink, the initial BWP can be given as a set of consecutive resource blocks (RBs) for the remaining minimum system information (RMSI) CORESET (control resource set) (set by the physical broadcast channel (PBCH)). For uplink, for example, the initial BWP can be given by the system information block (SIB) for the random access procedure. For example, the default BWP can be set by a higher layer. For example, the initial value of the default BWP can be the initial DL BWP.For energy saving, if a terminal does not detect DCI (downlink control information) for a certain period of time, the terminal may switch its active BWP to a default BWP.

[0066] FIG. 5 illustrates an example of a BWP according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 5 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure, and some descriptions, functions, procedures, proposals, methods, and / or operations of the embodiments may be omitted. In the embodiment of FIG. 5, it is assumed that there are three BWPs.

[0067] Referring to FIG. 5, for example, a common resource block (CRB) may be a carrier resource block numbered from one end of a carrier band to the other, and a PRB may be a numbered resource block within each BWP. For example, point A may indicate a common reference point for a resource block grid.

[0068] For example, BWP is point A, offset from point A (N start BWP ) and bandwidth (N size BWP ) can be set by. For example, point A can be an outer reference point of the PRB of a carrier where subcarrier 0 of all numerologies (e.g., all numerologies supported by the network on that carrier) aligns. For example, the offset can be the PRB spacing between the lowest subcarrier in a given numerology and point A. For example, the bandwidth can be the number of PRBs in a given numerology.

[0069] FIG. 6 illustrates a communication structure that can be provided in a 6G system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 6 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure, and some descriptions, functions, procedures, proposals, methods, and / or operations of the embodiments may be omitted.

[0070] As core implementation technologies of the 6G system, technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), THz (terahertz) communication, optical wireless technology, free-space optical transmission (FSO) backhaul networks, massive MIMO (multiple input multiple output) technology, blockchain, 3D networking, quantum communication, unmanned aerial vehicles, cell-free communication, wireless information and energy transfer (WIET), integration of sensing and communication, integration of access backhaul networks, holographic beamforming, big data analysis, and large intelligent surface (LIS) can be adopted.

[0071] - Artificial Intelligence: Incorporating AI into communications can streamline and improve real-time data transmission. AI can use numerous analytics to determine how complex target tasks should be performed. For example, AI can increase efficiency and reduce processing delays. Time-consuming tasks such as handovers, network selection, and resource scheduling can be performed instantly using AI. AI can also play a key role in machine-to-machine (M2M), machine-to-human, and human-to-machine communications. AI can also facilitate rapid communication in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). AI-based communication systems can be supported by metamaterials, intelligent structures, intelligent networks, intelligent devices, intelligent cognitive radios, self-sustaining wireless networks, and machine learning.

[0072] - THz communication (terahertz communication): Data rates can be increased by increasing the bandwidth. This can be achieved by using sub-THz communication with wide bandwidths and applying advanced massive MIMO technology. THz waves, also known as sub-millimeter waves, typically refer to the frequency range between 0.1 THz and 10 THz, with corresponding wavelengths ranging from 0.03 mm to 3 mm. The 100 GHz to 300 GHz band (sub-THz band) is considered a key part of the THz spectrum for cellular communications. Adding the sub-THz band to the mmWave band will increase the capacity of 6G cellular communications. Among the defined THz bands, 300 GHz to 3 THz lies in the far infrared (IR) frequency band. While part of the optical band, the 300 GHz to 3 THz band lies at the boundary of the optical band, immediately following the RF band. Therefore, this 300 GHz to 3 THz band exhibits similarities to RF. Key characteristics of THz communications include (i) the widely available bandwidth to support very high data rates and (ii) the high path loss that occurs at high frequencies (requiring highly directional antennas). The narrow beamwidths generated by highly directional antennas reduce interference. The small wavelength of THz signals allows for a significantly larger number of antenna elements to be integrated into devices and base stations operating in this band. This enables the use of advanced adaptive array technologies to overcome range limitations.

[0086] Advanced Air Mobility (AAM): AAM can be a broad concept encompassing urban air mobility (UAM), regional air mobility (RAM), and uncrewed aerial systems (UAS). For example, AAM can include UAM, RAM, UAS, and uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs).

[0087] - Autonomous driving (self-driving): V2X (vehicle to everything), a key element in building autonomous driving infrastructure, can be a technology that allows cars to communicate and share with various elements on the road for autonomous driving, such as vehicle to vehicle (V2V) wireless communication and vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) wireless communication.

[0088] Non-terrestrial network (NTN): NTN can refer to a network or network segment that utilizes radio frequency (RF) resources mounted on satellites (or UAS platforms). NTN services may be considered to secure wider coverage or provide wireless communication services in locations where the installation of wireless communication base stations is difficult.

[0089] - Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC): Wireless sensing is a technology that uses radio frequencies to determine the instantaneous linear velocity, angle, distance (range), etc. of an object, thereby obtaining information about the characteristics of the environment and / or objects within the environment.

[0090] - Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS): RIS can be used to manipulate and enhance signal propagation in wireless communication environments. For example, a RIS can be composed of many small antennas, or metasurfaces, arranged on a surface, each of which can actively control the phase, amplitude, polarization, etc. of the reflected signal. For example, a RIS can improve signal reception by controlling the path, phase, and / or intensity of the propagating signal. For example, in the case of a RIS, power consumption can be very low because power is consumed only for controlling the phase and amplitude of the small antennas. For example, because a RIS can be reconfigured to suit different environments, it can meet diverse communication requirements and operate effectively in dynamic network environments.

[0091] FIG. 7 illustrates an example of a communication scenario based on a 6G system, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 7 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure, and some descriptions, functions, procedures, proposals, methods, and / or operations of the embodiments may be omitted.

[0092] Referring to FIG. 7, NTN communication can be performed based on satellite networks, high-altitude platform stations (HAPS) as international mobile telecommunications (IMT) base stations (BS), and terminals capable of aerial communication (e.g., AAMs). For example, to improve coverage, etc., devices such as satellite networks, HIBS, and terminals capable of aerial communication (e.g., AAMs) can act as relays. For example, an AAM can communicate with a base station, a satellite network, etc., and / or an AAM can communicate directly with a terminal, another AAM, etc.

[0093] For example, a terminal can obtain information about the environment and / or the characteristics of objects within the environment by using radio frequency sensing to determine the instantaneous linear velocity, angle, distance (range), etc. of an object. Since radio frequency sensing does not require a device to connect to the object through a network, it can provide a service for object positioning without a device. The ability to obtain range, velocity, and angle information from radio frequency signals can enable a wide range of new capabilities, such as various object detection, object recognition (e.g., vehicles, humans, animals, UAVs), and high-precision localization, tracking, and activity recognition. Wireless sensing services can provide information to a variety of industries (e.g., unmanned aerial vehicles, smart homes, V2X, factories, railways, public safety, etc.), enabling applications that provide, for example, intruder detection, assisted vehicle steering and navigation, trajectory tracking, collision avoidance, traffic management, health and traffic management, and more. In some cases, wireless sensing can utilize non-3GPP type sensors (e.g., radar, cameras) to further support 3GPP-based sensing. For example, the operation of wireless sensing services, e.g., sensing operations, may depend on the transmission, reflection, and scattering of wireless sensing signals. Therefore, wireless sensing offers an opportunity to enhance existing communication systems from a communications network to a wireless communication and sensing network.

[0094] FIG. 8 illustrates an example of a sensing operation according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 8 can be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure, and some descriptions, functions, procedures, proposals, methods, and / or operations of the embodiments may be omitted. Specifically, (a) of FIG. 8 illustrates an example of sensing using a sensing receiver and a sensing transmitter located at the same location (e.g., monostatic sensing), and (b) of FIG. 8 illustrates an example of sensing using a separated sensing receiver and sensing transmitter (e.g., bistatic sensing).

[0095] Referring to FIG. 8, a sensing transmitter can transmit a sensing signal for sensing one or more objects (and / or an environment around the objects). For example, the sensing signal can be a radio (frequency) signal defined to be transmittable by a base station / terminal. For example, a sensing receiver can receive a signal scattered / reflected by one or more objects (and / or an environment around the objects) from a sensing signal transmitted from the sensing transmitter. For example, in the sensing receiver, sensing data can be derived from the scattered / reflected signal, and a sensing result can be generated / obtained through processing the sensing data. Here, for example, the sensing result can include characteristic information (e.g., position, distance, speed, angle, etc.) about one or more objects (and / or an environment around the objects). For example, the sensing results generated / obtained in this way may be utilized for wireless sensing services (e.g., detection, tracking, etc. of objects and / or environments) or provided / disclosed to a trusted third party.

[0096] For example, a sensing transmitter may be a base station or terminal that transmits a sensing signal to be used for a sensing service to operate, and the sensing transmitter may be located in the same or different base station or terminal as a sensing receiver. For example, a sensing receiver may be a base station or terminal that receives a sensing signal to be used for a sensing service to operate, and the sensing receiver may be located in the same or different base station or terminal as a sensing transmitter. For example, a sensing target may be an object to be detected by deriving characteristics of an object in the environment from a sensing signal. For example, a background environment may be a background that is not a sensing target (e.g., clutter, environmental objects, etc.). For example, an environment object may be an object whose location is known other than a sensing target. For example, monostatic sensing may be sensing in which a sensing transmitter and a sensing receiver coexist in the same base station or terminal. For example, bistatic sensing may be sensing in which the sensing transmitter and the sensing receiver are located in different base stations or terminals. For example, multistatic sensing may be sensing in which there are multiple sensing transmitters and / or multiple sensing receivers for a (single) sensing target. For example, monostatic sensing, bistatic sensing, and / or multistatic sensing may be distinguished based on the angle between the sensing transmitter, the sensing target, and the sensing receiver. For example, if the angle between the sensing transmitter, the sensing target, and the sensing receiver is less than or equal to a threshold, it may be defined as monostatic sensing or semi-monostatic sensing. For example, if the angle between the sensing transmitter, the sensing target, and the sensing receiver is greater than or equal to a threshold, it may be defined as bistatic sensing or multistatic sensing.For example, the terminal may transmit a sensing signal over a wireless interface that can be used for sensing purposes. For example, the terminal may transmit a sensing signal over a 3GPP wireless interface that can be used for sensing purposes.

[0097] For example, the common framework of the ISAC channel model can be composed of target channel components and background channel components. For example, this can be obtained based on mathematical equation 1.

[0098]

[0099] Here, for example, target channel H target may include all [multipath] components affected by the sensing target. For example, background channel H Background may contain other [multipath] components that do not belong to the target channel.

[0100] For example, radar cross-section (RCS) may be a measure of how well a radar sensor can detect a target. Therefore, it is often referred to as an electromagnetic characteristic of the target. For example, a larger RCS may indicate that the target is more easily detectable. For example, in a radar sensor measurement, power may be transmitted toward the target, and the target may reflect some of the power back to the receiver. For example, the received power may be based on the RCS of the target, among other factors. For example, the received power may be proportional to the RCS. For example, the RCS of a target may be based on at least one of the frequency of the radar signal, the target material, the target shape, the target size, the direction of the incident and reflected waves relative to the target, the target movement, and / or the target illumination.

[0101] FIG. 9 illustrates the relationship between RCS, range (D), and power according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 9 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure, and some descriptions, functions, procedures, proposals, methods, and / or operations of the embodiments may be omitted.

[0102] Referring to Figure 9, the RCS of a radar target may be a virtual area required to intercept the power density transmitted from the target. For example, the relevant radar mathematical formula may be defined as in Equation 2.

[0103]

[0104] Here, for example, P TX can be the transmitter power [W], and G TXcan be the gain of the transmitting antenna [dimensionless], D can be the distance between the equipment under test (EUT) and the target [m], and RCS can be the radar cross section [m 2 ] can be, P RX can be the power [W] received back by the EUT from the object, and A eff is the effective area of ​​the receiving antenna [m 2 ] can be. For example, A eff can be obtained based on mathematical formula 3.

[0105]

[0106] Here, for example, G RX can be the gain of the receiving antenna [dimensionless], λ can be the wavelength of the radio signal [m], λ = c / f, c can be the speed of light 299792458 [m / s], and f can be the frequency [Hz].

[0107] For example, if the transmitter and receiver are co-located and the same antenna is used for both transmission and reception (G TX = G RX = G), the related radar mathematical formula can be defined as in mathematical formula 4.

[0108]

[0109] Here, for example, P TX can be the transmitter power [W], G can be the gain of the transmitting antenna [dimensionless], D can be the distance between the equipment under test (EUT) and the target [m], and RCS can be the radar cross section [m 2 ] can be, P RX can be the power [W] received back by the EUT from the object.

[0136] For example, a Transmission Point (TP) may be a geographically co-located set of transmit antennas (e.g., an antenna array (including one or more antenna elements)) for a cell, a portion of a cell, or a downlink PRS-dedicated transmission point. For example, a transmission point may include base station (ng-eNB or gNB) antennas, a remote radio head, a remote antenna of a base station, an antenna of a downlink PRS-dedicated transmission point, etc. For example, a cell may include one or more transmission points. For example, in a homogeneous deployment, each transmission point may correspond to one cell.

For example, the reception point may include base station (ng-eNB or gNB) antennas, a remote radio head, a remote antenna of the base station, an antenna of an uplink SRS-only reception point, etc. For example, a cell may include one or more reception points. For example, in a homogeneous deployment, each reception point may correspond to one cell.

[0138] For example, a PRS-only TP may be a TP that transmits only PRS signals for PRS-based TBS positioning and is not associated with a cell.

[0139] For example, a Transmission-Reception point (TRP) may be a geographically co-located set of antennas (e.g., an antenna array (comprising one or more antenna elements)) that support transmission point and / or reception point functionality.

[0140] For example, an SRS-only RP may be a RP that receives only SRS signals for uplink-only positioning and is not associated with a cell.

[0141] For example, in the present disclosure, the TRP and the base station may be replaced and used as the same entity.

[0142] For example, an SL PRS transmission resource may be composed of an SL PRS resource set consisting of the following information:

[0143] - SL PRS resource set ID

[0144] - SL PRS Resource ID List: List of SL PRS resource IDs within the SL PRS resource set.

[0145] - SL PRS resource type: can be set to periodic or aperiodic or semi-persistent or on-demand

[0148] - Path loss reference for SL PRS power control: Can be set to SL SSB or DL ​​PRS or UL SRS or UL SRS for positioning or PSCCH DMRS or PSSCH DMRS or PSFCH or SL CSI RS, etc.

[0149] For example, the above SL PRS resource set may be composed of SL PRS resources composed of the following information.

[0150] - SL PRS resource ID

[0151] - SL PRS comb size: Interval between REs where SL PRS is transmitted within a symbol

[0152] - SL PRS comb offset: RE index where SL PRS is first transmitted within the first SL PRS symbol.

[0163] - SL PRS CCH: SL PRS control channel. Can signal SL PRS resource configuration information and resource location, etc.

[0164] For example, the terminal may perform the LCP procedure according to the LCP (Logical Channel Prioritization) priority order when there is logical channel data and / or MAC CE and / or control message (e.g., PC5-S message and / or PC5 RRC message) to transmit.

[0165] For example, the LCP procedure may be as follows. For example, when a terminal has multiple messages or data to transmit (e.g., MAC CE, communication data, (PC5) RRC message), the terminal may first generate a MAC PDU for a message with a higher priority based on priorities (e.g., priority). For example, when the terminal has MAC CE and data to transmit, if the destinations of the MAC CE and the data are different, the terminal may first multiplex a message (e.g., MAC CE) with a higher priority (e.g., priority) into the MAC PDU to generate a MAC PDU. In addition, for example, when the destinations of messages are the same, the terminal may perform a multiplexing operation for generating a MAC PDU by preferentially selecting a message with a higher priority.

[0166] Meanwhile, in conventional communications (e.g., NR Uu or NR sidelink), the sensing procedure of a device (e.g., a terminal or a base station) was not considered a service. However, since the main purpose of the ISAC service is to quickly detect and distinguish a target object through sensing, it is necessary to classify the sensing procedure (or operation) as a service that must satisfy one QoS requirement (e.g., 1. sensing latency: the time it takes for a terminal that triggers sensing to trigger the sensing procedure and receive the sensing result of the target object from a receiving terminal and / or 2. sensing accuracy, etc.). For example, in ISAC, the sensing behavior of a device (e.g., a terminal or a base station or a Sensing Management Function (SMF)) can be considered a service that must satisfy the ISAC sensing QoS requirement. For example, the terminal can perform sensing operations based on the sensing QoS (e.g., transmitting sensing RS and / or receiving sensing RS (sensing signal)).

[0167] For example, sensing in ISAC can be considered a higher-layer service that must satisfy sensing QoS (or sensing quality) based on sensing results. A new QoS (e.g., SQFI) for the ISAC sensing service can be defined as follows.

[0168] - For example, the sensing QoS flow ID (SQFI) can be as follows:

[0169] - SQFI 1~8 (can be distinguished by the level of sensing QoS requirements (e.g., 1. sensing accuracy, 2. sensing latency: e.g., latency boundary from sensing triggering to receiving sensing results, and / or 3. sensing priority: priority that can be used to determine which sensing service to trigger first based on priority when multiple sensing procedures are required)). For example, the smaller (or higher) the SQFI value, the tighter (e.g., a sensing service requiring high sensing accuracy, or a sensing service requiring low / lower / lowest sensing latency) the sensing service can be defined.

[0170] Additionally, for example, ISAC can define terminal and TRP (or base station) operations to support sensing services such as detection, localization, and tracking.

[0171] **Sensing QoS for ISAC services (e.g., detection, position estimation, and / or tracking)**

[0172] - Detection QoS: Detection probability and / or false alarm probability

[0173] - Location estimation QoS: Location estimation of static objects. QoS parameters of location estimation (e.g., time delay and / or angle of arrival)

[0174] - Tracking QoS: Tracking state changes (e.g. range, angle and / or speed) of moving objects (e.g. vehicles or drones).

[0175] FIG. 10 illustrates the main sensing modes of an ISAC according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 10 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure, and some descriptions, functions, procedures, proposals, methods, and / or operations of the embodiments may be omitted.

[0176] Referring to the embodiment of FIG. 10, for example, a support scenario for a sensing service in ISAC may be as follows.

[0177] For example, the six main sensing modes supported by ISAC could be:

[0178] - gNB mono-static (e.g., the same gNB provides both Tx and Rx)

[0179] - gNB bi-static (e.g. one gNB is Tx and the other is Rx)

[0180] - Bi-static between gNB and UE (gNB-to-UE bi-static, e.g. gNB is Tx and UE is Rx)

[0181] - Bi-static between UE and gNB (UE-to-gNB bi-static, e.g. UE is Tx and gNB is Rx)

[0182] - UE mono-static (e.g. same UE provides both Tx and Rx)

[0183] - UE bi-static (e.g. one UE is Tx and the other UE is Rx)

[0184] For example, embodiments of the present disclosure may be solutions that are scalable and applicable to all six sensing scenarios.

[0185] Hereinafter, the present disclosure proposes a prioritization rule for determining transmission priority between a communication service and a sensing service.

[0186] For example, if a sensing function (SF) is implemented in a base station, the base station can independently manage / schedule communication services and sensing services. Furthermore, even if the sensing function (SF) that manages the sensing service is supported by a server in the core network, processes such as sensing service scheduling / configuration can be performed through an interface between the server and the base station. Therefore, for example, independent management / scheduling of communication services and sensing services can be performed.

[0187] For example, when there is an overload of sensing services (e.g., transmitting sensing measurement data) and communication services (e.g., transmitting communication data), a prioritization / de-prioritization procedure needs to be defined for determining which service should be supported with priority.

[0188] For example, unless a separate logical channel (LCH) is defined for the sensing service, prioritization of communication services and sensing services may not be possible using conventional logical channel-based prioritization procedures. For example, prioritization of logical channel data belonging to the same logical channel may not have been supported in the past. Therefore, for example, if communication service-related data and sensing service-related data occur simultaneously on the same logical channel, prioritization procedures between the two services may not be possible using conventional logical channel-based prioritization.

[0189] For example, a conventional logical channel-based prioritization procedure may be as follows. For example, when multiple logical channel data are available for multiple logical channels of a terminal, the terminal may preferentially generate a MAC PDU (medium access control protocol data unit) for the logical channel data belonging to the logical channel with the highest priority. Then, for example, the terminal may preferentially accommodate the generated MAC PDU in the allocated uplink grant and transmit the prioritized logical channel data with preferentially.

[0190] Below, we propose priority rules for communication services and sensing services.

[0191] In the present disclosure, in order to support priority rules for sensing services and communication services in ISAC, a priority value may be defined for each sensing service supported in ISAC (e.g., Tracking service, Detection service, Localization service, etc.) or for each sensing service with different QoS requirements (e.g., Tracking service "1", Tracking service "2", Detection service "1", etc.).

[0192] For example, if communication logical channel data and sensing logical channel data occur simultaneously on the same logical channel of the terminal, the terminal can directly compare the communication logical channel priority value and the sensing service priority value. Through this, the terminal can, for example, prioritize and select logical channel data for a service with a lower priority value. And, for example, the terminal can preferentially generate logical channel data related to the selected service as a MAC PDU. In addition, for example, the terminal can preferentially accommodate the generated MAC PDU in the allocated uplink grant. For example, the terminal can preferentially transmit the prioritized logical channel data accommodated in the allocated uplink grant. For example, even if all logical channel data for the prioritized service are accommodated in the MAC PDU, there may still be available space in the MAC PDU. In this case, for example, the terminal may continue to accept logical channel data for services having lower priority values ​​(e.g., communication service logical channel priority value, sensing service priority value, and / or MAC CE priority value) in MAC PDUs.

[0193] For example, a base station can independently manage and schedule communication services and sensing services. Furthermore, for example, a base station can independently manage the operation of sensing services by providing terminals with the following settings for each sensing service.

[0194] For example, sensing service settings can be configured based on sensing service priorities. Furthermore, for example, a sensing function (SF) can determine sensing service priorities (e.g., the priority of sensing service logical channel data) by reflecting the QoS requirements of the sensing service.

[0195] For example, the sensing service configuration may include: sensing service priority, uplink grant, HARQ feedback option (HARQ feedback enabled or HARQ feedback disabled) and / or sensing-PrioritizationThres (thresholds for prioritizing sensing signals).

[0196] For example, the RRC or sensing function of the base station can separately set the priority of the communication service logical channel and the priority of the sensing service logical channel for each logical channel.

[0197] For example, if communication logical channel data and sensing logical channel data occur simultaneously on the same logical channel of the terminal, and there is also a triggered sensing signal (e.g., ISAC sensing reference signal (sensing RS)), the terminal can perform a priority determination procedure for the sensing signal of the terminal by applying the following priority rules.

[0198] For example, when the terminal basically performs a priority procedure between logical channel data and sensing RS, it can be assumed that a priority weight is applied to logical channel data (e.g., uplink communication service logical channel data and / or uplink sensing service logical channel data) higher than the priority weight of the sensing RS.

[0199] For example, if the priority of the logical channel data (e.g., communication logical channel priority and sensing data priority) is less than ul-PrioritizationThres (which may represent an uplink priority threshold used to determine whether other TXs (e.g., sidelink and / or sensing service related TXs) are prioritized over UL TXs, as specified in TS 38.321), the logical channel data may be prioritized. In this case, for example, the uplink logical channel data may be preferentially selected over the sensing RS to generate a MAC PDU. And, for example, the allocated uplink grant may be preferentially used for the uplink logical channel data.

[0200] For example, if the priority of logical channel data (e.g., communication logical channel priority and sensing data priority) is greater than ul-PrioritizationThres, a priority comparison procedure for sensing RS transmission may be performed as follows. For example, if the priority of sensing RS (e.g., the priority value of sensing RS may be proposed as a fixed value “1” in the present disclosure) is greater than sensing-PrioritizationThres (e.g., as specified in TS 38.321[3], which may represent a sensing priority threshold used to determine whether sensing RS TX is prioritized over UL TX (e.g., communication service data and sensing service data). For example, the network may not separately configure sensing-PrioritizationThres and ul-PrioritizationThres in the UE.), it may be determined that logical channel data (e.g., communication data and / or sensing data) is prioritized. In this case, for example, uplink logical channel data may be selected with priority over sensing RS to generate MAC PDUs. And, for example, the allocated uplink grant may be preferentially used for uplink logical channel data.

[0201] For example, if the priority of logical channel data (e.g., communication logical channel priority and sensing data priority) is greater than ul-PrioritizationThres, a priority comparison procedure for sensing RS transmission may be performed as follows. For example, if the priority of sensing RS is less than sensing-PrioritizationThres, it may be determined that sensing RS transmission is prioritized. In this case, for example, sensing signals (e.g., sensing reference signals (sensing RSs)) may be transmitted with priority over uplink logical channel data (e.g., an allocated uplink grant may be preferentially used for sensing signals).

[0202] FIG. 11 illustrates a method for performing sensing through sensing signal transmission according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 11 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure, and some descriptions, functions, procedures, proposals, methods, and / or operations of the embodiments may be omitted.

[0203] Referring to the embodiment of FIG. 11, for example, in step S1110, the first device can obtain information related to a threshold. For example, the first device can obtain information related to a threshold from a second device. For example, the first device can obtain information related to a threshold from a base station. For example, the first device can obtain information related to a threshold based on information that the first device already has. For example, the first device can obtain information related to a first threshold. For example, the first device can obtain information related to a second threshold. For example, in step S1120, the first device can compare a priority value with a threshold. For example, the first device can compare a second priority value related to a sensing signal with a second threshold based on the first priority value related to data being greater than the first threshold. For example, in step S1130, the first device can transmit a sensing signal. For example, the first device may transmit the sensing signal based on the second priority value associated with the sensing signal being less than the second threshold. For example, the sensing signal may be transmitted with priority over data based on the second priority value associated with the sensing signal being less than the second threshold. For example, the sensing signal may be transmitted based on preferential use of the allocated uplink grant.

[0204] FIG. 12 illustrates a method for a second device to transmit threshold-related information to a first device, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 12 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure, and some descriptions, functions, procedures, proposals, methods, and / or operations of the embodiments may be omitted.

[0205] Referring to the embodiment of FIG. 12, for example, in step S1210, the second device may transmit information related to a threshold to the first device. For example, the second device may be a base station. For example, the second device may be a device that requested sensing. For example, the second device may transmit information related to a first threshold. For example, the second device may transmit information related to a second threshold. For example, in step S1220, the first device may compare a priority value with a threshold. For example, the first device may compare a second priority value related to a sensing signal with a second threshold based on whether a first priority value related to data is greater than the first threshold. For example, in step S1230, the first device may transmit a sensing signal. For example, the first device may transmit the sensing signal based on whether a second priority value related to the sensing signal is less than the second threshold. For example, a sensing signal may be transmitted with priority over data based on a second priority value associated with the sensing signal being less than a second threshold. For example, a sensing signal may be transmitted based on preferential use of an allocated uplink grant.

[0206] For example, if prioritization is determined simply based on priority values ​​for communication service data and sensing service data that coexist on the same logical channel, a starvation issue may occur between them. Therefore, even if communication service data and sensing service data are simultaneously available on the same logical channel, the proposed method in the present disclosure can be applied only to sensing service data that is higher than a preset priority threshold (e.g., configured in the sensing function or base station and / or preset / configured by sensing service QoS identifier or sensing service priority). For example, the final determination of priority between communication service data and sensing service data can be made based on additional QoS parameters (quality of service parameters), such as PDB (Packet Delay Budget). For example, when communication service data and sensing service data are available simultaneously on the same logical channel, even if the priority value of the sensing service data has a lower value than the logical channel priority value of the communication service data, if the (remaining) PDB of the communication service data is less than the (remaining) PDB of the sensing service data, the transmission of the communication data may be prioritized. In this case, for example, the communication service logical channel data may be preferentially selected to generate a MAC PDU. And, for example, the allocated grant (e.g., an uplink grant) may be preferentially used to prioritize the transmission of the communication service logical channel data. For example, separate PBR (Prioritized Bit Rate) and / or BSD (Bucket Size Duration) parameters may be set between the communication service data and the sensing service data on the same logical channel.Through this, for example, Logical Channel Prioritization (LCP) procedures can be performed.

[0207] For example, RRC (e.g., RRC of a base station) or sensing function can control scheduling of uplink data via signaling for each logical channel per MAC entity. For example, the PBR and / or BSD parameters can be as follows. For example, communication_priority can indicate a lower communication priority level as the priority value increases. For example, communication_prioritisedBitRate can set the communication prioritized bit rate (C_PBR). For example, communication_bucketSizeDuration can set the communication bucket size duration (C_BSD). For example, sensing_priority can indicate a lower sensing priority level as the priority value increases. For example, sensing_prioritisedBitRate can set the sensing prioritized bit rate (S_PBR). For example, sensing_bucketSizeDuration can set the sensing bucket size duration (S_BSD). For example, PBR and / or BSD parameters may not be limited to the names proposed in the present disclosure, and parameters having the same function may be the same parameters.

[0208] For example, the following UE variables can be used in the LCP procedure. For example, B j can be managed for each logical channel j. For example, when a logical channel is established, the MAC entity B of the logical channel j may need to be initialized to 0. For example, for each logical channel j, the MAC entity may need to perform the following procedure. For example, the MAC entity may need to initialize B before the LCP procedure starts.j can be increased by the product of PBRХT, where, for example, T can be the time elapsed since the last increase. For example, B j If the value of is greater than the bucket size (e.g., C_PBRХC_BSD or S_PBRХS_BSD), the MAC entity can perform the following actions. For example, the MAC entity can perform the following actions: B j can be set to the bucket size. For example, when a grant is processed in LCP, B j As long as the UE is up to date, B j The exact moment(s) when the LCP procedure is updated may vary depending on the UE implementation. For example, the UE variables used in the LCP procedure may not be limited to the names proposed in this disclosure, and variables with the same function may be the same variable.

[0209] For example, in the case of sensing RS, it may be transmitted for different base stations (or TRPs) as well as for the same base station (or TRP) as the communication logical channel data (e.g., due to movement of the Target Sensing Area (TSA). For example, the priorities between the sensing RS and the communication logical channel data may be handled differently between the two cases. For example, the priority threshold may be independently set for each case (e.g., set by the base station or the sensing function, or preset / set by sensing service priority). Alternatively, for example, the sensing RS transmitted for different base stations (or TRPs) may always be set to have a lower priority than the communication logical channel data (or may always be determined to have a lower priority).

[0210] The method proposed in this disclosure may offer various benefits, including improvements over prior art, although these benefits are not limited to those presented in this disclosure. For example, the problem of service conflicts arising from supporting both sensing and communication services can be alleviated. For example, sensing and communication services can be managed more efficiently.

[0211] For example, embodiments of the present disclosure may be extended and applicable to all TRP to TRP momo-static, TRP to TRP bi-static, TRP to UE bi-static, UE to TRP bi-static, UE to UE momo-static, and UE to UE bi-static operations.

The embodiment of FIG. 13 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure, and some descriptions, functions, procedures, proposals, methods, and / or operations of the embodiments may be omitted.

[0230] Referring to FIG. 13, in step S1310, the first device can obtain information related to a first threshold. In step S1320, the first device can obtain information related to a second threshold. In step S1330, the first device can compare a second priority value related to a sensing signal with the second threshold based on the first priority value related to data being greater than the first threshold. In step S1340, the first device can transmit the sensing signal based on the second priority value related to the sensing signal being less than the second threshold.

[0231] Additionally, for example, the first device may transmit the data based on the first priority value being less than or equal to the first threshold.

[0232] Additionally, for example, the first device may transmit the data based on the second priority value being greater than or equal to the second threshold.

[0233] For example, the second priority value may be 1.

[0234] For example, the sensing signal may be transmitted with priority over the data based on the second priority value associated with the sensing signal being less than the second threshold.

[0235] For example, the sensing signal may be transmitted based on preferential use of the allocated uplink grant.

[0236] For example, the sensing signal may be transmitted based on a prioritization procedure between the sensing signal and the data based on a quality of service parameter. For example, the quality of service parameter may include a packet delay budget, a priority bit rate, or a bucket size duration. For example, the priority bit rate or bucket size duration may be independently set for each sensing service or communication service on the same logical channel.

[0237] For example, the data may be transmitted with priority over the sensing signal based on the remaining packet delay budget associated with the data being less than the remaining packet delay budget associated with the sensing signal.

[0238] For example, the first threshold or the second threshold may be set based on information regarding whether the base station associated with the sensing signal and the base station associated with the data are the same. For example, the data may be preferentially transmitted based on whether the base station associated with the sensing signal and the base station associated with the data are different.

[0267] Fig. 17 illustrates a signal processing circuit for a transmission signal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of Fig. 17 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure, and some descriptions, functions, procedures, proposals, methods, and / or operations of the embodiments may be omitted.

[0268] Referring to FIG. 17, the signal processing circuit (1000) may include a scrambler (1010), a modulator (1020), a layer mapper (1030), a precoder (1040), a resource mapper (1050), and a signal generator (1060). Although not limited thereto, the operations / functions of FIG. 17 may be performed in the processor (102, 202) and / or the transceiver (106, 206) of FIG. 16. The hardware elements of FIG. 17 may be implemented in the processor (102, 202) and / or the transceiver (106, 206) of FIG. 16. For example, blocks 1010 to 1060 may be implemented in the processor (102, 202) of FIG. 16. Additionally, blocks 1010 to 1050 may be implemented in the processor (102, 202) of FIG. 16, and block 1060 may be implemented in the transceiver (106, 206) of FIG. 16.

[0269] The codeword can be converted into a wireless signal through the signal processing circuit (1000) of FIG. 17. Here, the codeword is an encoded bit sequence of an information block. The information block can include a transport block (e.g., an UL-SCH transport block, a DL-SCH transport block). The wireless signal can be transmitted through various physical channels (e.g., a PUSCH or a PDSCH).

[0270] Specifically, the codeword can be converted into a bit sequence scrambled by a scrambler (1010). The scramble sequence used for scrambling is generated based on an initialization value, and the initialization value may include ID information of the wireless device, etc. The scrambled bit sequence can be modulated into a modulation symbol sequence by a modulator (1020). The modulation method may include pi / 2-BPSK (pi / 2-Binary Phase Shift Keying), m-PSK (m-Phase Shift Keying), m-QAM (m-Quadrature Amplitude Modulation), etc. The complex modulation symbol sequence can be mapped to one or more transmission layers by a layer mapper (1030). The modulation symbols of each transmission layer can be mapped to the corresponding antenna port(s) by a precoder (1040) (precoding). The output z of the precoder (1040) can be obtained by multiplying the output y of the layer mapper (1030) by a precoding matrix W of N*M. Here, N is the number of antenna ports, and M is the number of transmission layers. Here, the precoder (1040) can perform precoding after performing transform precoding (e.g., DFT transform) on complex modulation symbols. In addition, the precoder (1040) can perform precoding without performing transform precoding.

[0271] The resource mapper (1050) can map modulation symbols of each antenna port to time-frequency resources. The time-frequency resources can include multiple symbols (e.g., CP-OFDMA symbols, DFT-s-OFDMA symbols) in the time domain and multiple subcarriers in the frequency domain. The signal generator (1060) generates a wireless signal from the mapped modulation symbols, and the generated wireless signal can be transmitted to another device through each antenna. To this end, the signal generator (1060) can include an Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) module, a Cyclic Prefix (CP) inserter, a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC), a frequency uplink converter, etc.

[0272] The signal processing process for receiving signals in a wireless device can be configured in reverse order of the signal processing process (1010 to 1060) of FIG. 17. For example, a wireless device (e.g., 100, 200 of FIG. 16) can receive wireless signals from the outside through an antenna port / transceiver. The received wireless signals can be converted into baseband signals through a signal restorer. For this purpose, the signal restorer can include a frequency downlink converter, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a CP remover, and a fast Fourier transform (FFT) module. Thereafter, the baseband signal can be restored to a codeword through a resource demapper process, a postcoding process, a demodulation process, and a descrambling process. The codewords can be restored to the original information blocks through decoding. Accordingly, a signal processing circuit (not shown) for a received signal may include a signal restorer, a resource de-mapper, a postcoder, a demodulator, a de-scrambler, and a decoder.
