[0030] The technical solutions in this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Communication system

For example, the UE can act as a scheduling entity, providing sidelink signals between UEs in vehicle-to-everything (V2X) or device-to-device (D2D) communication. For example, cellular phones and cars communicate with each other using sidelink signals. Cellular phones and smart home devices communicate without relaying communication signals through a base station.

[0037] The network device in this application embodiment can be a device for communicating with terminal devices. The network device may also include an access network device. The access network device can provide communication coverage for a specific geographical area and can communicate with the terminal device 120 located within that coverage area. The access network device can also be called a wireless access network device or a base station, etc. In this application embodiment, the access network device can refer to a radio access network (RAN) node (or device) that connects the terminal device to the wireless network. Access network equipment can broadly encompass various names listed below, or be interchangeable with them, such as: NodeB, evolved NodeB (eNB), next-generation NodeB (gNB), relay station, transmitting and receiving point (TRP), transmitting point (TP), master eNB (MeNB), secondary eNB (SeNB), multi-standard radio (MSR) node, home base station, network controller, access node, wireless node, access point (AP), transmission node, transceiver node, baseband unit (BBU), remote radio unit (RRU), active antenna unit (AAU), remote radio head (RRH), central unit (CU), distributed unit (DU), positioning node, etc. Base stations can be macro base stations, micro base stations, relay nodes, donor nodes, or similar entities, or combinations thereof.

A base station can support networks using the same or different access technologies. The embodiments of this application do not limit the specific technologies or device forms used in the access network equipment.

[0038] Base stations can be fixed or mobile. For example, a helicopter or drone can be configured to act as a mobile base station, and one or more cells can move depending on the location of the mobile base station. In other examples, a helicopter or drone can be configured as a device to communicate with another base station.

[0039] Wireless communication systems involve communication equipment that can include not only access network equipment and terminal equipment, but also core network elements. Core network elements can be implemented through devices; that is, core network elements are core network devices. It can be understood that core network devices can also be a type of network device.

[0040] The core network elements in this application embodiment may include network elements that process and forward user signaling and data. For example, core network equipment may include core access and mobility management function (AMF), session management function (SMF), user plane gateway, location management function (LMF), and other core network equipment. The user plane gateway may be a server with functions such as mobility management, routing, and forwarding of user plane data, generally located on the network side, such as a serving gateway (SGW), packet data network gateway (PGW), or user plane function (UPF). Of course, the core network may also include other network elements, which are not listed here.

[0041] In some deployments, the network device in this application embodiment may refer to a CU or a DU, or the network device may include both a CU and a DU. The gNB may also include an AAU.

[0042] Network devices and terminal devices can be deployed on land, including indoors or outdoors, handheld or vehicle-mounted; they can also be deployed on water; and they can also be deployed in the air on airplanes, balloons, and satellites. This application does not limit the scenario in which the network devices and terminal devices are located.

[0043] It should be understood that all or part of the functions of the communication device in this application can also be implemented by software functions running on hardware, or by virtualization functions instantiated on a platform (e.g., a cloud platform).

[0044] Sensing Networks

[0045] Some networks (such as 6G networks) are expected to be a fusion of mobile communication networks, sensing networks, and computing networks.

[0046] In a narrow sense, a sensing network can refer to a system with capabilities such as target localization, target imaging, target detection, target tracking, and target recognition. Target localization can include one or more of the following sensing operations for the sensed target: range measurement, velocity measurement, and angle measurement.

[0047] In a broad sense, a sensing network can refer to a system that possesses the attributes and states of any service, network, user, terminal, and environmental object.

[0048] From the perspective of sensing applications, sensing can be classified as follows: outdoor / wide area / local area applications and indoor / local area applications.

[0049] Outdoor / wide-area / local-area applications can include one or more of the following: smart cities, smart transportation / high-speed rail, low-altitude applications, etc. Smart cities may include, for example, weather monitoring. Smart transportation / high-speed rail may include, for example, one or more of the following: high-precision map building, road monitoring, intrusion detection, etc. Low-altitude applications may include, for example, one or more of the following: drone monitoring, drone obstacle avoidance, flight intrusion detection, flight path management, etc.

[0050] Indoor / local area applications can include one or more of the following: smart home, health management, smart factory, etc. Health management can include, for example, one or more of the following: respiratory monitoring, intrusion detection, gesture / pose recognition, motion monitoring, and movement tracking. Smart factory applications can include, for example, one or more of the following: intrusion detection, material detection, and defect detection.

[0051] It should be noted that the above applications of perception and the classification of perception applications are exemplary, and the scope of perception applications is not limited to the examples above.

[0052] Communication and sensing are important applications of modern radio frequency (RF) technology. Sensing can be achieved using radio waves. For example, sensing technology can use radio waves to detect parameters of the physical environment to achieve environmental perception such as target localization, action recognition, and imaging. Another important application of modern RF technology is wireless communication. Separating sensing and wireless communication into separate designs leads to a waste of wireless spectrum and hardware resources.

[0053] With technological advancements, in some networks (such as 6G or post-5G (beyond 5G, B5G) networks), communication spectrum can be based on millimeter waves, terahertz, visible light, etc. In other words, the spectrum of wireless communication can overlap with the sensing spectrum. Next-generation networks (such as 6G networks) may be a fusion of at least two of the following: mobile communication networks, sensing networks, and computing networks.

[0054] Communication-sensing integration technology combines wireless communication and sensing functions. This technology can achieve numerous functionalities. For example, it can utilize wireless communication resources to implement sensing capabilities. Alternatively, it can leverage widely deployed cellular networks to provide sensing services over a wider area. Furthermore, it can utilize network equipment and multiple terminal devices for joint sensing, achieving higher sensing accuracy. Finally, it can reuse wireless communication hardware modules to implement sensing functions, reducing costs.

[0055] Understandably, the integrated communication and sensing technology enables wireless communication systems to have sensing capabilities, providing a foundation for the development of smart transportation, smart cities, smart factories, drones, and other businesses.

[0056] During the perception process, there can be at least one of the following types of nodes: perception node, perceived target, and perception control node.

[0057] A sensing node can include a sensing signal transmitting node and / or a sensing signal receiving node. The sensing signal transmitting node and the sensing signal receiving node can be the same entity. Taking the eight sensing modes shown in Figure 2 as an example, the sensing node can be a network device in Mode 1 or a terminal device in Mode 2. In Mode 1, the sensing signal transmitting node and the sensing signal receiving node are the same entity, which is a network device. In Mode 2, the sensing signal transmitting node and the sensing signal receiving node are the same entity, which is a terminal device.

[0058] The target being sensed can be the target that needs to be sensed. In some embodiments, the target being sensed can also be referred to as a sensed node, a measured target, or a sensed object.

[0059] A perception control node can be a node that controls and manages perception nodes and / or perception services. The functions of a perception control node may include, but are not limited to: managing perception services, sending configuration information to perception nodes and / or perceived targets, configuring the transmission and / or reception of perception measurement signals, configuring the transmission and / or reception of perception signals, configuring perception nodes and / or perceived targets to report measurement results and / or perception results, and collecting and processing measurement results and / or perception results. It should be noted that the perception control node can be the same entity as the perceived target, the perception signal transmitting node, or the perception signal receiving node. Alternatively, the perception control node can be a separate entity different from the perception signals and the perceived target.

[0060] Perception can be achieved through different modes. Figure 2 shows an example diagram of eight modes of perception.

[0061] Figure 2(a) is an example diagram of Mode 1. Mode 1 involves the network device automatically transmitting and receiving sensing signals. As shown in Figure 2(a), the transmitting node for the sensing signal / channel (hereinafter referred to as the sensing signal / channel) is network device 210a (e.g., a gNB). After network device 210a transmits the sensing signal, it is reflected by the sensed target 230 (the vehicle shown in Figure 2(a), and the reflected signal returns to network device 210a (or, in other words, the sensing signal returns to network device 210a). Network device 210a is both the transmitting and receiving node of the sensing signal / channel. The signal / channel described in this embodiment can also be referred to as a channel / signal.

[0062] Figure 2(b) is an example diagram of Mode 2. Mode 2 involves the terminal device automatically transmitting and receiving sensing signals. As shown in Figure 2(b), the transmitting node for the sensing signal / channel is terminal device 220a. After terminal device 220a transmits the sensing signal, it is reflected by the sensed target 230 (the vehicle shown in Figure 2(b), and the reflected signal returns to terminal device 220a (or, in other words, the sensing signal returns to terminal device 220a). Terminal device 220a is both the transmitting and receiving node for the sensing signal / channel.

[0063] Figure 2(c) is an example diagram of Mode 3. Mode 3 involves cooperative sensing by network devices. As shown in Figure 2(c), the transmitting node for the sensing signal / channel is a network device 210a (e.g., a gNB). After network device 210a transmits the sensing signal, it is reflected by the sensed target 230 (the vehicle shown in Figure 2(c)), and the reflected signal is transmitted to another network device 210b (or, in other words, the sensing signal is transmitted to another network device 210b). Network device 210b is the receiving node for the sensing signal / channel.

[0064] Figure 2(d) is an example diagram of Mode 4. Mode 4 is terminal cooperative sensing. As shown in Figure 2(d), the transmitting node of the sensing signal / channel is terminal device 220a. After terminal device 220a transmits the sensing signal, it is reflected by the sensed target 230 (the vehicle shown in Figure 2(d)). The reflected signal is transmitted to another terminal device 220b (or the sensing signal can be considered to be transmitted to terminal device 220b). Terminal device 220b is the receiving node of the sensing signal / channel.

[0065] Figure 2(e) is an example diagram of Mode 5. Mode 5 is a network device-terminal device cooperative sensing. The transmitting node of the sensing signal / channel is network device 210a (such as gNB). After the network device 210a transmits the sensing signal, it is reflected by the sensed target 230 (the vehicle shown in Figure 2(e)). The reflected signal is transmitted to the terminal device 220a (or it can be considered that the sensing signal is transmitted to the terminal device 220a). The terminal device 220a is the receiving node of the sensing signal / channel.

[0066] Figure 2(f) is an example diagram of Mode 6. In Mode 6, terminal device and network device cooperate in sensing. The terminal device 220a is the sending node of the sensing signal / channel. After the terminal device 220a sends the sensing signal, it is reflected by the sensing target 230 (the vehicle shown in Figure 2(f)). The reflected signal is transmitted to the network device 210a (or the sensing signal can be considered to be transmitted to the network device 210a). The network device 210a is the receiving node of the sensing signal / channel.

[0067] Figure 2(g) is an example diagram of Mode 7. In this Mode 7, the sensed target is the node that transmits the sense signal / channel. For example, terminal device 220a, as the sensed target, sends a sense signal to network device 210a (such as a gNB), and network device 210a receives the sense signal and senses terminal device 220a.

[0068] Figure 2(h) is an example diagram of Mode 8. In Mode 8, the sensed target is the receiving node of the sensed signal / channel. For example, network device 210a (such as gNB) sends a sensed signal, and terminal device 220a is the receiving node of the sensed signal / channel. After receiving the sensed signal, terminal device 220a sends a feedback signal to network device 210a.

[0069] In the eight sensing modes shown in Figure 2, only a single or pair of sensing nodes exist. However, in wireless communication systems, there are many terminal devices. When multiple sensing nodes (base stations, mobile phones, IoT devices, etc. that send and / or receive sensing signals) exist around a sensed node, multiple sensing nodes can participate in sensing together, thereby improving the accuracy of sensing and meeting more complex sensing service requirements, providing richer sensing services. When there are multiple sensing nodes in the system, a sensing control node may be used to control and manage the entire sensing service, which can improve efficiency. This sensing control node can include one or more of the following: base stations, terminal devices, and core network elements. An example of multiple sensing nodes participating in sensing is shown in Figure 3.

[0070] As shown in Figure 3, there are three sensing nodes around the sensed node: sensing node 1, sensing node 2, and sensing node 3. Sensing node 1 and sensing node 2 participate in the sensing of the given target. The sensing control node can send communication signals to each sensing node and / or the sensed node to control and manage the sensing services.

[0071] Sensing and receiving processing technology

[0072] As mentioned above, processing the received sensing signals enables sensing, such as obtaining the distance between the sensing target and the sensing node, and the moving speed of the sensing target. The following section details how to process the received sensing signals to achieve sensing.

[0073] As one possible implementation, the sensing signal can be processed from a sensing signal with uniform spacing. This uniform spacing can include uniform spacing in the frequency domain and / or uniform spacing in the time domain.

[0074] For example, N sensing signals on a certain symbol at a center frequency f c The frequency domain spacing is N. f If the subcarriers are uniformly distributed over Δf, where Δf is the subcarrier spacing, then the frequency domain channel response of the sensing signals on this symbol is:

[0075] Performing an IFFT (IDFT) transformation on matrix H yields the distance r between the sensing target and the sensing node.

[0076] For example, frequency point f c wavelength λ c M sensing signals on subcarriers at time intervals M t The time-domain channel response is obtained by uniformly arranging Δt, where Δt is a time-domain unit, which can be a symbol or a slot.

[0077] in It is determined by frequency point f c The initial phase is determined by the initial distance r0. By performing an FFT transform on H(t), the velocity v of the sensing target's motion can be obtained.

[0078] For sensing signals with non-uniform spacing, the traditional Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm is no longer suitable. For example, the Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) algorithm can be used. MUSIC is an algorithm that searches for the distance or velocity value that maximizes the spectral function within a certain range using a certain step size; its complexity is quite high. In some implementations, the non-uniform fast Fourier transform (NUFFT) algorithm can reduce the complexity to some extent. However, because it involves a series of preprocessing and post-processing steps in addition to the uniform FFT, these two algorithms can estimate the distance / velocity measurements relatively accurately, but their complexity is still very high, making them difficult to implement in engineering.

[0079] The inventors of this application have discovered that sensing signals may conflict with communication signals (hereinafter referred to as conflicts), that is, they use the same communication resources. For example, in sensing services, such as tracking or speed measurement sensing services, sensing signals need to be sent periodically, which inevitably leads to conflicts with dynamically scheduled communication signals.

[0080] Figure 4 is a schematic flowchart of a wireless communication method provided in an embodiment of this application to solve the above-mentioned problems. The method shown in Figure 4 can be executed by a first device and a second device. For example, both the first device and the second device include the communication device described above, and the communication device can be a sensing node.

[0081] The method shown in Figure 4 may include step S410.

[0082] In step S410, the second device sends a communication signal. The second device may be a device capable of sending sensing signals. The first device receives the communication signal. The first device may be a device capable of receiving sensing signals. As a possible implementation, either the first or second device may include a sensing management node.

[0083] For the first device, when sensing signals and communication signals occupy the same resources, the sensing signals on the same resources may not be processed by the first device. For example, the first device may not receive sensing signals on the same resources. Alternatively, the first device may not process sensing signals received on the same resources. That is, when communication signals and sensing signals conflict over resources, priority is given to processing or only the communication signals are processed.

[0084] For the second device, if sensing signals and communication signals require the same resources, the sensing signal on the same resource can be cancelled from transmission. In other words, if sensing signals and communication signals require the same resources, the second device can transmit the communication signal on that resource without transmitting the sensing signal. That is, in the event of a resource conflict between communication signals and sensing signals, the communication signal is transmitted first, or only the communication signal is transmitted.

[0085] Therefore, in this application, for a sensing signal that occupies the same resources as a communication signal, the first device may not process the sensing signal, and / or the second device may not send the sensing signal. That is, the first device or the second device may discard a sensing signal that conflicts with a communication signal, thereby avoiding conflict and realizing the coexistence of sensing and communication.

[0086] In some embodiments, a communication signal may occupy one or more resource units. A resource unit can be represented using both time-domain and frequency-domain dimensions. For example, a resource unit can be represented by one time-domain unit and one frequency-domain unit. A time-domain unit may include, for example, one or more of the following: symbols, time slots, frames, etc. A frequency-domain unit may include, for example, one or more of the following: resource blocks, subcarriers, etc. A resource block may be the maximum resource range for cell scheduling, and may be contiguous or non-contiguous frequency-domain resources.

[0087] Taking Figure 5 as an example, the time-domain unit is a symbol (one small square on the horizontal axis represents one symbol), and the frequency-domain unit is a resource block (one small square on the vertical axis represents one resource block). That is, one resource unit can occupy one symbol in the time domain and one resource block in the frequency domain. In Figure 5, the resource units occupied by communication signals are represented by the gray squares. Sensing signals can occupy either gray squares or white squares (resource units that do not carry communication signals).

[0088] The following examples 1 to 3 illustrate how to determine the discarding (including canceling transmission and / or not processing) of sensing signals.

[0089] Example 1

[0090] In Embodiment 1, the sensing signal that is not processed is a sensing signal that occupies the same resource units as the communication signal in both the time and frequency domains. The sensing signal that is cancelled from transmission is a sensing signal that requires the same resource units as the sensing signal in both the time and frequency domains. That is, in Embodiment 1, only sensing signals that conflict with the communication signal in both the time and frequency domains can be left unprocessed or cancelled from transmission. For sensing signals that do not conflict with the communication signal in any dimension of the time or frequency domain, the first device can process them normally, and / or the second device can transmit them normally.

[0091] As shown in Figures 6A, 6B, and 6C, on resource blocks occupied by both sensing signals and communication signals, sensing signals are not processed (marked by 'x'), while on resource blocks occupied by other sensing signals, sensing signals are processed normally.

[0092] It is understandable that Example 1 is a more efficient processing method, that is, a processing method with higher resource utilization. For resources without conflicts, the transmission of sensing signals can still be carried out.

[0093] Example 2

[0094] In Example 2, when the sensing signal and the communication signal occupy the same time domain unit, the sensing signal within the first frequency domain range of the same time domain unit is not processed. When the sensing signal and the communication signal need to occupy the same time domain unit, the sensing signal within the first frequency domain range of the same time domain unit is canceled from transmission.

[0095] In Example 2, when the sensing signal and the communication signal occupy the same frequency domain unit, the sensing signal within the first time domain range of the same frequency domain unit is not processed. Similarly, when the sensing signal and the communication signal need to occupy the same frequency domain unit, the sensing signal within the first time domain range of the same frequency domain unit is not processed.

[0096] Therefore, in Embodiment 2, a sensing signal that conflicts with the communication signal in at least one dimension in the time and frequency domains may not be processed and / or its transmission may be cancelled. For a sensing signal that does not conflict with the communication signal in either the time or frequency domains, the first device may process it normally, and / or the second device may transmit it normally. That is, even if the sensing signal does not conflict with the communication signal in the time domain but does conflict in the frequency domain, the sensing signal will not be processed and / or its transmission may be cancelled. Alternatively, even if the sensing signal does not conflict with the communication signal in the frequency domain but does conflict in the time domain, the sensing signal will not be processed and / or its transmission may be cancelled.

[0097] As shown in Figure 7A, in the first time domain unit, due to the conflict between some sensing signals and communication signals in the frequency domain, the sensing signals in all frequency domain units within the frequency domain range (i.e., the first frequency domain range) shown in the figure are not processed and / or canceled from transmission.

[0098] As shown in Figure 7B, in the frequency domain cell where the sensing signal is located, because some sensing signals in the time domain conflict with the communication signal, the sensing signals in all time domain cells within the time period shown in the figure (i.e., the first time domain range) are not processed and / or canceled from transmission.

[0099] The first frequency domain range and the first time domain range are explained below.

[0100] As one possible implementation, the same frequency domain unit occupied by the sensing signal and the communication signal is the conflicting frequency domain unit. The first frequency domain range includes one of the following: the bandwidth on the carrier where the conflicting frequency domain unit is located; the bandwidth on the frequency band where the conflicting frequency domain unit is located; the bandwidth on the combination of frequency bands where the conflicting frequency domain unit is located; and the bandwidth on the resource block where the conflicting frequency domain unit is located.

[0101] In other words, the first frequency domain range can refer to one of the following: the entire bandwidth on the carrier where the conflicting frequency domain unit is located; the entire bandwidth on the frequency band where the conflicting frequency domain unit is located; the entire bandwidth on the combination of frequency bands where the conflicting frequency domain unit is located; or the entire bandwidth on the resource block where the conflicting frequency domain unit is located.

[0102] As one possible implementation, the same time-domain unit occupied by the sensing signal and the communication signal is considered a conflicting time-domain unit. The starting point of the first time-domain range can be earlier than the conflicting time-domain unit. Alternatively, the first time-domain range can start from the conflicting time-domain unit. That is, the starting point of the first time-domain range can be no later than the conflicting time-domain unit.

[0103] As one possible implementation, the first time domain range can end at one of the following: the time domain unit where the last sensing signal in the same period is located; the time domain unit where the last sensing signal in the same sensing task is located; or the time domain unit where the last sensing signal in the same sensing measurement window is located.

[0104] It should be noted that a perception task may include one or more perception measurement windows. A perception measurement window may include one or more periods. Perception tasks may include, for example, ranging, localization, velocity measurement, and ranging in a slow time dimension. For some perception tasks (such as ranging and localization), a single perception result can be obtained from the perception signal within one perception measurement window. For some perception tasks (such as velocity measurement and slow time dimensions), a single perception result requires the perception signals within multiple perception measurement windows.

[0105] It should be noted that multiple sensing signals used for a single measurement can belong to the same sensing task (or the same configuration). For example, multiple sensing signals used for a single velocity, Doppler, or micro-Doppler measurement belong to the same sensing task.

[0106] It should be noted that the first time domain range and the first frequency domain range can be implemented separately, as shown in Figure 7A or Figure 7B.

[0107] The first time domain range and the first frequency domain range can be implemented in combination. In the case of the combination of the first time domain range and the first frequency domain range, the unprocessed sensing signals may belong to the first time-frequency range. The first time-frequency range can be a resource that satisfies both the first time domain range and the first frequency domain range. For example, the first time-frequency range can refer to the frequency band on the carrier within the sensing measurement window. Alternatively, the first time-frequency range can refer to the bandwidth on the carrier within the same sensing task. As shown in Figure 7C, the resource unit shown in Figure 7C belongs to the first time-frequency range, and the sensing signals on the resource units within the time and frequency domain ranges shown in Figure 7C are canceled from transmission and / or not processed.

[0108] It is understandable that Embodiment 2 can more easily determine the discarded sensing signals, reducing the processing difficulty of the device and thus saving the device's computing power.

[0109] Example 3

[0110] In Example 3, the unprocessed sensing signals include all sensing signals within the sensing measurement window or sensing task.

[0111] In Example 3, the sensing signals that are cancelled include all sensing signals within the sensing measurement window or sensing task.

[0112] As shown in Figure 8A, when sensing signals and communication signals conflict, the transmission and / or processing of all sensing signals within the sensing measurement window can be cancelled.

[0113] As shown in Figure 8B, when sensing signals and communication signals conflict, the transmission and / or processing of all sensing signals within the sensing task can be cancelled. The sensing task in Figure 8B includes n sensing measurement windows. All sensing signals within the n sensing measurement windows are cancelled and / or not processed. As shown in Figure 8B, even if there are only sensing signals within sensing measurement window n, i.e., the sensing signals and communication signals within sensing measurement window n do not conflict, the sensing signals within sensing window n are also cancelled and / or not processed.

[0114] It should be noted that the sensing measurement window in this application may include a time domain range and / or a frequency domain range. For example, the sensing measurement window may include a frequency domain range, which may be processed by a single bandwidth / carrier / resource block or multiple bandwidth / carrier / resource blocks. Alternatively, the sensing measurement window may include a time domain range. This frequency domain range can be determined according to the sensing processing method. For example, the sensing processing method may be processed by a single bandwidth / carrier / resource block or multiple bandwidth / carrier / resource blocks. In the case of processing a single bandwidth / carrier / resource block, the sensing signals within the same bandwidth / carrier / resource block within the sensing measurement window may be cancelled / not processed. In the case of joint processing of multiple bandwidth / carrier / resource blocks, only the sensing signals within multiple related bandwidth / carrier / resource blocks within the sensing measurement window may be cancelled / not processed.

[0115] It should be noted that the sensing measurement window may be configured by a sensing management node; and / or, the sensing task may be configured by the sensing management node. For example, a first device or a second device may receive configuration information from the sensing management node, which can be used to configure the sensing measurement window and / or the sensing task. Exemplarily, the configuration information can be used to configure the time domain range and / or frequency domain range of the sensing measurement window, and / or the configuration information can be used to configure the time domain range and / or frequency domain range of the sensing task.

[0116] In some embodiments, the sensing signals that are not processed / cancelled from transmission can be determined based on one or more of the following: the configuration of the sensing management node; the type of sensing signal; and the capabilities of the first device (i.e., the capabilities of the sensing signal receiving device).

[0117] As one possible implementation, the sensing management node can be configured to process the sensing signals by either the first or second device (whichever method is used in Embodiments 1 to 3).

[0118] For example, the first or second device may determine to cancel sending and / or not process sensing signals, and process the sensing signals based on the configuration of the sensing management node. When receiving configuration 1, the first or second device may process the sensing signals in the manner of embodiment 1. When receiving configuration 2, the first or second device may process the sensing signals in the manner of embodiment 2. When receiving configuration 3, the first or second device may process the sensing signals in the manner of embodiment 3. Exemplarily, when receiving configuration 3.1, the first or second device may process the sensing signals in the manner of embodiment 3 (discarding all sensing signals within the sensing measurement window). When receiving configuration 3.2, the first or second device may process the sensing signals in the manner of embodiment 3 (discarding all sensing signals within the sensing task).

[0119] As one possible implementation, the first and second devices can determine how to process the sensing signals based on the configuration of the sensing management node and the type of sensing signals.

[0120] For example, when the first or second device is configured to process configuration 1 and the sensing signal type is type 1, the method of "discarding sensing signals within the first frequency domain range on the same time domain unit" in embodiment 2 is used. When the first or second device is configured to process configuration 1 and the sensing signal type is type 2, the method of "discarding sensing signals within the first time domain range on the same frequency domain unit" in embodiment 2 is used. When the first or second device is configured to process configuration 2 and the sensing signal type is type 1, the sensing signal is processed in the manner of embodiment 3 (discarding all sensing signals within the sensing measurement window). When the first or second device is configured to process configuration 2 and the sensing signal type is type 2, the sensing signal is processed in the manner of embodiment 3 (discarding all sensing signals within the sensing task). The type 1 sensing signal can be used for services that require only one sensing measurement window to obtain the sensing result, such as ranging and positioning. The type 2 sensing signal can be used for services that require multiple sensing measurement windows to obtain the sensing result, such as speed measurement and ranging in a slow time dimension.

[0121] As one possible implementation, the first device and the second device can determine the method of processing the sensing signal based on the configuration of the sensing management node and the capabilities of the devices. For example, when the first device or the second device is configured to process configuration 1, and the first device is of the first device type, the method in embodiment 1 is used. When the first device or the second device is configured to process configuration 1, and the first device is of the second device type, the method in embodiment 2 or embodiment 3 is used. Here, the first device type can be one that cannot process non-uniform sensing signal structures, and the second device type can be one that can process non-uniform sensing signal structures.

[0122] In some embodiments, the first device may send first capability information. The first capability information can be used to indicate whether the first device is capable of receiving or processing non-uniform sensing signal structures. As mentioned above, because the processing algorithms for non-uniform sensing signals are highly complex, some less capable devices can only process uniform sensing signal structures; processing non-uniform sensing signal structures requires significantly more computing power. In other words, the first capability information can be used to indicate whether the first device possesses advanced sensing signal processing capabilities. Advanced sensing signals may include non-uniform sensing signals.

[0123] In Example 1, after the sensing signal is discarded, the remaining sensing signal is a non-uniform sensing signal structure. Therefore, Example 1 can only be executed by the first device and the second device if the first device is able to receive or process the non-uniform sensing signal structure.

[0124] The recipient of the first capability information can be a second device and / or a sensing management node. The sensing management node can determine the configuration of the first or second device based on the first capability information, thereby enabling the first or second device to execute methods consistent with the capabilities of the first device. The second device can determine whether to cancel transmitting sensing signals using the method of Embodiment 1 based on the first capability information, thereby enabling the first device to execute sensing tasks consistent with its own capabilities.

[0125] It should be noted that a non-uniform sensing signal structure can refer to a sensing signal structure that is uniformly distributed or evenly spaced in the time and / or frequency domains. For example, in the time domain, the number of time-domain units between two adjacent sensing signals is the same. Similarly, in the frequency domain, the number of frequency-domain units between two adjacent sensing signals is the same.

[0126] In some embodiments, the non-uniform sensing signal structure can also be referred to as the irregular sensing signal structure.
