[0087] Step 101, receiving a first sensing reference signal (Sensing Reference Signal, Sensing RS); here, the first sensing reference signal is sent by a sensing sending device (Sensing Tx);

[0089] Step 102, obtaining a first measurement quantity related to a sensing target according to the first sensing reference signal; in this step, "obtaining a first measurement quantity related to a sensing target" can be specifically obtaining a first measurement quantity of the first sensing reference signal passing through the sensing target. Specifically, the first sensing reference signal passing through the sensing target is specifically, for example, the first sensing reference signal reflected / scattered by the sensing target, or the first sensing reference signal affected by the sensing target.

[0090] The sensing measurement method of the embodiments of the present application first receives a first sensing reference signal, and then measures a first measurement quantity related to a sensing target according to the first sensing reference signal. In this way, in the integrated sensing and communication scenario, the process of the sensing receiver (the first device) obtaining sensing information is uniformly regulated, so that the first device performs subsequent operations based on the measurement result of the first measurement quantity, thereby improving the implementability of the integrated sensing and communication measurement and the accuracy of the sensing performance.

[0091] As an optional implementation, step 102 comprises:

[0092] measuring the first sensing reference signal passing through the sensing target to obtain a first channel path passing through the sensing target; here, the first channel path passing through the sensing target can also be described as a first channel path related to the sensing target;

[0098] That is, the number of first channel paths can be one, two or more. M, N and P are configuration or pre-configuration parameters, or are predefined by a protocol.

[0099] As a specific implementation, the channel path passing through the sensing target is a path with at least one of the following characteristics:

[0112] Here, it should be noted that in the above specific implementation, the multiple channel paths with the at least one feature are channel paths passing through the same sensing target.

[0113] Further, as an optional implementation, the method further comprises:

[0114] classifying the multiple channel paths according to features of the channel paths passing through the sensing target, wherein each category of the channel paths is related to a category of the sensing target; that is, each category of the channel paths is related to the same category of the sensing target, or each category of the channel paths passes through the same category of the sensing target, where "category" refers to a category of the sensing target, such as a motor vehicle, a pedestrian, a building, etc., and one category of the sensing target can include one or more sensing targets.

[0115] determining the number and / or the category number of the sensing targets in the channel environment according to the classification result of the channel paths. Here, the category number of the sensing targets is the same as the category number of the channel paths in the classification result, and the category number of the sensing targets can be determined based on micro-Doppler, speed, channel state information, etc.

[0116] In the above optional implementation, the classification of the sensing targets based on the features of the channel paths can improve the measurement accuracy.

[0117] As an optional implementation, the first measurement quantity includes at least one of the following:

[0124] a sensing doppler shift obtained by measuring the first sensing reference signal;

[0125] a sensing target existence indication;

[0126] a channel response statistical characteristic within a first time duration; the statistical characteristic can include but is not limited to at least one of the following: mean, variance, signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) and distribution characteristic;

[0127] a delay-Doppler value; wherein the delay in the delay-Doppler value is at least one of: a first sensing reference signal time of arrival, a first sensing reference signal propagation time, a time difference between a time at which the first device receives the first sensing reference signal and a time at which the second sensing reference signal is transmitted;

[0128] a micro-Doppler frequency distribution characteristic obtained by measuring the first sensing reference signal; here, the micro-Doppler frequency distribution characteristic includes a distribution type (such as a Gaussian distribution, an exponential distribution, a uniform distribution, and the like) to which a micro-Doppler frequency is subject, a mean value, a variance, and the like;

[0129] one-dimensional channel state information, such as time-domain channel estimation information, specifically for example: a power delay profile (PDP), a channel impulse response (CIR); wherein the one-dimensional channel state information is constituted by N sampling points of an estimated channel response in the time domain; the timing information of the N sampling points has a reporting granularity of the first time, and all of the timing information is defined relative to a reference time, which can be the same as the reference time defined by the sensing RTOA or an additional reference time; in addition, the power value and / or the phase value corresponding to each sampling point also needs to be reported;

[0130] two-dimensional channel state information, such as delay-Doppler domain channel estimation information, specifically for example: delay-Doppler; wherein the two-dimensional channel state information is constituted by N sampling points of an estimated channel response in the delay-Doppler domain; the timing information of the N sampling points has a reporting granularity of the first time, and all of the timing information is defined relative to a reference time, which can be the same as the reference time defined by the sensing RTOA; the Doppler shift of the N sampling points has a reporting granularity of the first frequency, and all of the Doppler shift information is defined relative to a reference frequency, which is 0 Hz or a configured or pre-configured numerical value; in addition, the power value corresponding to each sampling point also needs to be reported.

[0131] As a specific implementation, the first sensing reference signal time of arrival is: a time at which the first device receives a starting boundary of a first subframe containing the first sensing reference signal that passes through the sensing target;

[0132] wherein the starting boundary of the first subframe is determined by a time of the first channel path that passes through the sensing target detected in the time domain; and the time at which the starting boundary of the first subframe is located is a time relative to a reference time.

[0133] Here, the first channel path is, as previously described, the first M detected channel paths among the channel paths passing through the sensing target, and / or the first N strongest channel paths among the channel paths passing through the sensing target, and / or the Pth channel path among the channel paths passing through the sensing target, where M is a positive integer, N is a positive integer, and P is a positive integer.

[0134] Briefly, the first sensing reference signal time of arrival can be defined as: the time at which device j receives the start boundary of subframe i containing the first sensing reference signal, the start boundary of the subframe i being determined by the time of the first channel path passing through sensing target k detected in the time domain, the time at which the start boundary is calculated relative to a reference time;

[0135] Here, the first channel path is, as previously described, the first M detected channel paths among the channel paths passing through the sensing target, and / or the first N strongest channel paths among the channel paths passing through the sensing target, and / or the Pth channel path among the channel paths passing through the sensing target, where M is a positive integer, N is a positive integer, and P is a positive integer.

[0136] Here, in the specific implementation, the reference time is T0+T1, where T0 is the start time of System Frame Number (SFN) 0 or Direct Frame Number (DFN) 0 defined by the system, and T1 is determined by the SFN and subframe number in which the first sensing reference signal is located.

[0137] In addition, in the above definition, device j corresponds to the first device in the present application, subframe i corresponds to the first subframe in the present application, and the first sensing reference signal is transmitted by device s.

[0138] For the determination method of the first sensing reference signal time of arrival, as shown in FIG. 2, both single-base and double-base modes are available, and the sensing RTOA reported by different sensing Rxs is subtracted, which requires synchronization between different sensing Rxs, but since different sensing RTOAs can come from different positions of the object, joint calculation of the position will introduce errors; based on this, the first sensing reference signal time of arrival can be calculated in the following two ways:

[0139] Method 1: Sensing RTOA = RTOA+offset (only applicable to double-base bi-static sensing mode); where:

[0140] RTOA represents the start time of subframe i containing the sensing RS received by sensing Rx j, which is calculated relative to a reference time;

[0141] Offset represents the time difference AB between the timing of the first detected path passing through the sensing target i (A) and the timing of the path used to determine the RTOA value (B).

[0142] Method 2: Sensing RTOA represents the start time of subframe i containing sensing RS received by sensing Rx j. This subframe i is determined by the first detected channel path among multiple channel paths related to the sensing target detected in the time domain. This start time is calculated relative to the reference time; where Reference time = T0 + T1, T0 is the nominal start time of SFN 0 or DFN 0, and T1 = (10n f +n sf )×10 -3 , where n f To sense the system frame number of the reference signal, n sf The system subframe number where the sensing reference signal is located.

[0143] As another specific implementation, the propagation time of the first sensing reference signal is the difference between a first time and a second time. The first time is the time when the first device receives the starting boundary of the second subframe containing the first sensing reference signal passing through the sensing target. The second time is the time when the starting boundary of the second subframe of the first device is located. Here, the second subframe of the first device is the second subframe of the first device itself, or in other words, the second subframe of the first device is the second subframe maintained by the first device according to local timing.

[0144] The first time is determined by the time of the first channel path passing through the sensing target as detected in the time domain.

[0145] Here, as mentioned above, the first channel path is the first M detected channel paths among the channel paths passing through the sensing target, and / or the first N channel paths with the strongest power among the channel paths passing through the sensing target, and / or the Pth channel path among the channel paths passing through the sensing target, where M is a positive integer, N is a positive integer, and P is a positive integer.

[0146] In brief, the first sensing reference signal propagation time is defined as the difference between a first time at which device j receives the start boundary of subframe i containing the first sensing reference signal from device k, and a second time corresponding to the start boundary of subframe i of device j itself;

[0147] wherein the first time is determined by the time of the first channel path impacted by sensing target k detected in time domain;

[0148] The first time and the second time are both relative to the local timing maintained by device j itself;

[0149] wherein the first channel path is the first M detected channel paths, the first N strongest channel paths, or the first P channel paths among the channel paths impacted by the sensing target, as previously described. As a specific example, the first channel path is the first detected path or the strongest path.

[0150] Here, it should be noted that another expression of the first sensing reference signal propagation time (Sensing TOF) is: Sensing TOF = Sensing RTOA - Reference time; wherein:

[0151] Sensing RTOA represents the start time of subframe i containing the sensing RS received by sensing Rx j, which is determined by the first detected path impacted by the sensing target detected in time domain, and the start time is calculated relative to the Reference Time;

[0152] Reference time = T0 + T1, T0 is the nominal start time of SFN 0 or DFN 0, and T1 = (10n f +n sf )×10 -3 , wherein n f is the system frame number of the sensing reference signal, and n sf is the system subframe number of the sensing reference signal.

[0153] As a further specific implementation, the first sensing reference signal time difference is the relative timing difference between the sensing transmitting device and the reference sensing transmitting device, wherein the sensing transmitting device is the device transmitting the first sensing reference signal, and the reference sensing transmitting device is a predetermined one of the devices transmitting the first sensing reference signal to the first device.

[0154] Specifically, as an example, the relative timing difference between the sensing transmitting device and the reference sensing transmitting device is expressed as: T SubframeRxj -T SubframeRxi Among them, T SubframeRxj T represents the time at which the first device receives the start boundary of the third subframe from the sensing transmitting device. SubframeRxi This indicates the time at which the first device receives the start boundary of the fourth subframe from the reference sensing transmitting device;

[0155] Wherein, the fourth subframe is the corresponding subframe that is closest to the third subframe in the time domain. The time of the starting boundary of the third subframe is determined by the time of the first channel path related to the sensing transmitting device detected in the time domain. The time of the starting boundary of the fourth subframe is determined by the time of the first channel path related to the reference sensing transmitting device detected in the time domain. Wherein, the first channel path related to the sensing transmitting device is: the first channel path obtained by measuring the first sensing reference signal transmitted by the sensing transmitting device and passing through the sensing target. The first channel path related to the reference sensing transmitting device is: the first channel path obtained by measuring the first sensing reference signal transmitted by the reference sensing transmitting device and passing through the sensing target.

[0156] Specifically, as another example, the relative timing difference between the sensing transmitting device and the reference sensing transmitting device is expressed as: T SubframeRxi -T SubframeRxj Among them, T SubframeRxi The meaning of T SubframeRxj The meaning of is the same as the one mentioned above, and will not be repeated here.

[0157] In simple terms, the time difference of the first sensing reference signal can be defined as the relative timing difference between sensing Txj and reference sensing Txi, denoted as T. SubframeRxj –T SubframeRxi Or T SubframeRxi –T SubframeRxj ;in:

[0158] T SubframeRxj This represents the time at which the sensing receiving device (sensing Rx) receives the start boundary of a subframe x from the sensing transmitting device (sensing Tx j), the time of which is determined by the time of the first channel path through the sensing target k detected in the time domain;

[0159] T SubframeRxiT x (i) represents the time of the starting boundary of a subframe x received by the sensing Rx device from the sensing Tx i, the subframe x being the corresponding subframe closest to the subframe x in the time domain, the time of the starting boundary of the subframe x being determined by the time of the first channel path impacted by the sensing target detected in the time domain;

[0160] The first channel path is, for example, the first M detected channel paths / the first N strongest channel paths / the first P channel paths among the channel paths impacted by the sensing target. As a special case, the first channel path is, for example, the first detected path or the strongest path.

[0161] That is, the sensing RSTD represents the relative timing difference between the sensing Tx j and the reference sensing Tx i, and is expressed as T SubframeRxj -T SubframeRxi or T SubframeRxi -T SubframeRxj ;

[0162] wherein T SubframeRxj T x (i) represents the time of the starting boundary of a subframe x received by the sensing Rx device from the sensing Tx i, the subframe x being the corresponding subframe closest to the subframe x in the time domain, the time of the starting boundary of the subframe x being determined by the time of the first channel path impacted by the sensing target detected in the time domain; SubframeRxi T x (i) represents the time of the starting boundary of a subframe x received by the sensing Rx device from the sensing Tx i, the subframe x being the corresponding subframe closest to the subframe x in the time domain, the time of the starting boundary of the subframe x being determined by the time of the first channel path impacted by the sensing target detected in the time domain;

[0163] As still another specific implementation, the received power of the first sensing reference signal is a linear average of the power of the first sensing reference signal impacted by the sensing target measured on the resource elements (REs) carrying the first sensing reference signal. The first sensing reference signal is a sensing reference signal used for measurement.

[0164] As still another specific implementation, the received path power of the first sensing reference signal is a linear average of the channel response on the corresponding delay of the first channel path impacted by the sensing target on the REs carrying the first sensing reference signal. The first sensing reference signal is a sensing reference signal used for measurement.

[0165] In brief, the received path power of the first sensing reference signal is defined as the linear average of the channel response over the REs carrying the sensing signal corresponding to the first channel delay of the sensing target k.

[0166] The first channel delay is, for example, the first detected channel delay, the first N strongest channel delays, or the Pth channel delay among the channel delays of the sensing target.

[0167] The received path power of the sensing reference signal is described as follows:

[0168] (1) The received path power of the sensing reference signal is defined as the linear average of the channel response over the REs carrying the sensing RS for measurement corresponding to the path delay impacted by the sensing target k, where the sensing RS RPP of the ith path delay is the power corresponding to the ith detected path impacted by the sensing target k in the time domain.

[0169] (2) The received path power of the sensing reference signal is defined as the linear average of the channel response over the REs carrying the sensing RS for measurement corresponding to the first detected path delay impacted by the sensing target k.

[0170] (3) The received path power of the sensing reference signal is defined as the linear average of the channel response over the REs carrying the sensing RS for measurement corresponding to the strongest path delay of the sensing target k.

[0171] As a further specific implementation, the delay in the delay-doppler value is the first perceived reference signal propagation time or the first perceived reference signal arrival time; or, the delay is determined by the first channel path passing through the perceived target; the doppler in the delay-doppler value is a doppler shift obtained by measuring the first channel path passing through the perceived target.

[0172] Wherein, the delay and the doppler shift are obtained based on the same first channel path.

[0173] That is, in the delay-doppler value, the delay can refer to the definition of the first perceived reference signal propagation time passing through the perceived target k, the doppler is a doppler shift obtained by measuring the first perceived reference signal passing through the perceived target k, and both need to be measured and reported in pairs.

[0174] Further, as an optional implementation, the method further comprises:

[0175] sending a second perceived reference signal;

[0176] The first measurement quantity comprises:

[0177] A first time difference, the first time difference being a time difference between a time at which the first device receives the first perceived reference signal and a time at which the second perceived reference signal is sent.

[0178] Specifically, the first time difference is expressed as T Sensing UE-RX -T Sensing UE-TX ; wherein, T Sensing UE-RX represents a receiving timing of a fifth subframe from a perceived sending device by the first device, T Sensing UE-TX represents a sending timing of a sixth subframe by the first device, or, when the first device reports a transmission time stamp of the second perceived reference signal, T Sensing UE-TX represents a sending timing of a subframe containing the second perceived reference signal sent by the first device; here, the sending timing is an actual sending timing of the subframe containing the second perceived reference signal sent by the first device.

[0179] Wherein, the sixth subframe is a corresponding subframe closest to the fifth subframe in time domain; the receiving timing of the fifth subframe is determined by a time of the first channel path passing through the perceived target detected in time domain.

[0180] The first channel path is, for example, the first M detected channel paths, the first N strongest channel paths, or the Pth channel path among the channel paths passing through the sensing target.

[0181] In brief, the first time difference is defined as the difference between the time at which the device receives the sensing reference signal passing through the sensing target and the time at which the device transmits the sensing reference signal, and is denoted as T Sensing UE-RX -T Sensing UE-TX ; wherein:

[0182] T Sensing UE-RX is the reception timing of the device j for the subframe i from the device k, which is determined by the time of the first channel path passing through the sensing target k detected in the time domain, and the first channel path is, for example, the first M detected channel paths, the first N strongest channel paths, or the Pth channel path among the channel paths passing through the sensing target; as a special case, the first channel path is, for example, the first detected path or the strongest path;

[0183] T Sensing UE-TX is the transmission timing of the device j for the subframe I, which is the corresponding subframe closest to the subframe I in the time domain; or, if the device k reports the transmission timestamp information of the sensing reference signal, T Sensing UE-TX is the transmission timing of the device j for the subframe I containing the sensing reference signal.

[0184] As an optional implementation, in the case where the first channel path includes multiple channel paths, such as the case where the first channel path includes the first M detected channel paths, the first N strongest channel paths, or the Pth channel path among the channel paths passing through the sensing target;

[0185] The first measurement quantity includes a measurement quantity corresponding to each channel path of the first channel path; that is, the first measurement quantity includes multiple groups, and the measurement quantity in each group is obtained based on the same first channel path, so the number of groups of the first measurement quantity is the same as the number of first channel paths;

[0186] Alternatively, the first measurement quantity includes a measurement quantity obtained by data processing on the measurement quantity corresponding to each channel path of the first channel path. Here, the "data processing" can be data processing on each measurement result of the same measurement quantity (each measurement result is obtained based on a first channel path, such as taking the average, weighted summation, median, etc.

[0187] Further, as an optional implementation, the method further includes:

[0188] perform a target operation based on the first measurement quantity, the target operation comprising: measurement reporting and / or data calculation. For example, measurement reporting is reporting the measurement result of the first measurement quantity to a second device, for example, the second device is a Sensing Tx or a data calculation entity.

[0189] As a specific implementation, performing measurement reporting based on the first measurement quantity comprises:

[0190] grouping the first measurement quantity according to different sensing targets, wherein each group of sensing results comprises at least one type of measurement quantity, and each group of sensing results is associated with one sensing target; here, grouping the first measurement quantity based on the sensing target can be determining the first channel path passing through the same sensing target based on the characteristics of the first channel path corresponding to the first measurement quantity, and dividing the first channel path corresponding to the same sensing target into a group of measurement quantities;

[0191] reporting the grouped first measurement quantity.

[0192] Here, it should also be noted that when reporting the grouped first measurement quantity, different groups of first measurement quantities can also be numbered, that is, different sensing targets can be numbered; wherein the numbering can be simply indexed incrementally according to the number of detected sensing targets, or can be specifically numbered based on the type of detected sensing target. That is, each group of first measurement quantities should have a corresponding ID information. In addition, when reporting the first measurement quantity, the ID information of the sensing sending device and the ID information of the sensing receiving device corresponding to the first measurement quantity can also be reported.

[0193] A specific example of the above implementation is as follows:

[0194] When the Sensing Rx device performs sensing measurement, it can measure multiple types of measurement quantities at a time. Since there can be multiple sensing targets or objects in the environment, in the case where the first channel path includes multiple paths, each sensing target or object corresponds to multiple groups of measurement results; in the case where the first channel path includes one path, each sensing target or object will correspond to a group of measurement results, and each group of measurement results contains multiple measurement quantities. In order to distinguish them when reporting, each group of measurement results needs to be indexed and numbered, and a specific example is as follows:

[0195] In the case where the first channel path includes multiple channel paths, the reported measurement quantity includes multiple measurement sets, each measurement set (corresponding to a sensing target or object) includes multiple groups of measurement quantities, and each group of measurement quantities (corresponding to one path in the first channel path) includes multiple types of measurement quantities; for example, the reported measurement quantity can be represented in the following way:

[0196] Measurement set#1;

[0197] Measurement set#2;

[0198] ...

[0199] Measurement set#A;

[0200] wherein each measurement set comprises:

[0201] 1) Measurement group#1: {sensing RS ToF, sensing AoA, sensing doppler shift};

[0202] 2) Measurement group#2: {sensing RS ToF, sensing AoA, sensing doppler shift};

[0203] ...

[0204] Q) Measurement group#Q: {sensing RS ToF, sensing AoA, sensing doppler shift}.

[0205] Here, A denotes the number of sensing targets detected in the channel environment, and Q denotes the number of first channel paths.

[0206] In the case where the first channel path comprises one channel path, the reported measurement quantities comprise a plurality of measurement groups, each group of measurement quantities (corresponding to one sensing target or object) comprising a plurality of types of measurement quantities; for example, the reported measurement quantities can be expressed in the following manner:

[0207] 1) Measurement group#1: {sensing RS ToF, sensing AoA, sensing doppler shift};

[0208] 2) Measurement group#2: {sensing RS ToF, sensing AoA, sensing doppler shift};

[0209] ...

[0210] B) Measurement group#B: {sensing RS ToF, sensing AoA, sensing doppler shift}.

[0211] Here, B represents the number of sensing targets detected in the channel environment.
