[0172] Figure 1A is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 1A, the communication system 100 includes a sensing transmitter 101 and a sensing receiver 102.

[0173] In some embodiments, the sensing transmitter 101 may be a node or device that connects a terminal to a wireless network. The sensing transmitter may include at least one of the following in a 5G communication system: an evolved Node B (eNB), a next-generation eNB (ng-eNB), a next-generation Node B (gNB), a node B (NB), a home node B (HNB), a home evolved node B (HeNB), a wireless backhaul device, a radio network controller (RNC), a base station controller (BSC), a base transceiver station (BTS), a base band unit (BBU), a mobile switching center, a base station in a 6G communication system, an open RAN, a cloud RAN, a base station in other communication systems, and an access node in a Wi-Fi system, but is not limited thereto.

[0176] In some embodiments, the sensing transmitter can be an access network device, which can be composed of a central unit (CU) and a distributed unit (DU). The CU can also be called a control unit. By adopting the CU-DU structure, the protocol layer of the access network device can be separated. Some of the protocol layer functions are centrally controlled by the CU, while the remaining part or all of the protocol layer functions are distributed in the DU, which is centrally controlled by the CU. However, this is not the only possibility.

[0180] In some embodiments, the performance of sensing accuracy and sensing resolution depends on the configuration of sensing signal resources. Generally speaking, the larger the sensing signal bandwidth, the higher the sensing distance accuracy and resolution; the longer the sensing signal duration, the higher the sensing speed accuracy and resolution.

[0181] In some embodiments, during relevant positioning measurements, multiple base stations need to jointly transmit a Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) to obtain accurate terminal location information. To measure the reference signal of neighboring cells, the UE (User Equipment) uses a Measurement Gap (MG) defined by 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project). During the MG, the transmission and reception of serving cell signals are not performed. For example, the following...

[0182] Table 1 shows a schematic diagram of the gap mode configuration:

[0183] Table 1 shows common gap pattern configurations in existing NR (New Radio) systems. Each gap pattern includes: Gap ID, Measurement Gap Length (MGL), and Measurement Gap Repetition Period (MGRP). Higher layers configure Measurement Gap information for the UE by indicating the Gap ID information. Simultaneously, the network also pre-configures Map Pattern information for the UE, including Gap Offset. Based on the configured gap information, the UE can determine the temporal resource location of the measurement signal. Furthermore, to support greater gap configuration flexibility, 3GPP also supports multiple NCSG (Network Controlled Small Gap) configurations. Compared to general gaps, NCSG supports shorter gap lengths and offers greater configuration flexibility.

[0184] In some embodiments, to improve the velocity resolution of the sensing, long-term measurement of the reference signal is required. To address the insufficient duration of existing MG configurations, a common solution is to employ a time-domain comb scheme, where the sensed reference signal is distributed in a comb pattern in the time domain. Common comb schemes suffer from the following problems:

[0185] Too small an interval results in excessive overhead of sensing resources. Furthermore, if the transmission power of the sensing reference signal is fixed, too many sensing resources will lead to lower power for each sensing symbol, reducing the SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) of the sensing reference signal at the receiver.

[0186] The large interval and undersampling in the time domain result in multiple Doppler images being observed at the sensing receiver, causing velocity ambiguity.

[0187] Taking into account issues such as sensing accuracy, resource overhead, and speed ambiguity, using time-domain sparse sensing reference signal measurement is a potential solution.

[0188] Figure 1B is a schematic diagram of gap mode 0 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 1B, gap mode 0 includes 9 system frame numbers, each system frame number includes 10 subframes, and the duration of each subframe is 1ms. In this gap mode 0, the measurement gaps are system frame number 0: subframe 1-subframe 6; system frame number 4: subframe 1-subframe 6; and system frame number 8: subframe 1-subframe 6. The time interval between the measurement gaps in each system frame number is 40ms.

[0189] In some embodiments, the gap duration is insufficient, leading to inadequate Doppler estimation accuracy. In related technologies, the reference signal (MG) is a continuous interval, transmitted and measured within the gap duration. For example, with a 10ms gap, the Doppler resolution is 100Hz; at a carrier frequency of 3GHz, the speed resolution is 10m / s (36km / h), which is insufficient to realistically distinguish different targets using Doppler. Furthermore, resource utilization is low. For the aforementioned gap pattern, the MG repetition period is 80ms. Using this gap configuration for sensing measurements is equivalent to using 1 / 8 of the wireless resources, but only achieving a speed resolution of 10m / s. Flexibility is also lacking. Within a cycle, the MG is a continuous time-frequency resource; during its duration, other signals / channels cannot be transmitted / received. There is only one gap per cycle; missing it requires waiting for the next cycle to complete the measurement, resulting in a significant delay in reference signal measurement.

[0190] Figure 2A is an interactive schematic diagram of a communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2A, the embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a communication method, which includes:

[0191] In step S2101, the sensing transmitter sends the first information to the sensing receiver according to the configuration of the sensing MG.

[0192] For example, a sensing reference signal (MG) in a mobile communication system refers to the duration during which a sensing receiver suspends data communication with the serving cell to measure sensing measurement signals transmitted by neighboring cells of adjacent channels or other radio access technologies. In other words, the sensing receiver cannot communicate with the serving cell during the duration of the sensing MG, but measures the sensing reference signals of neighboring cells of adjacent channels or other radio access technologies to obtain sensing measurement results. Outside the duration of the sensing MG, communication data transmission with the serving cell resumes. The sensing receiver is either measuring neighboring cells or scheduling data within the serving cell at the same time.

[0193] In some embodiments, the sensing transmitter can be an access network device, and the sensing receiver can be a UE. This embodiment is applicable to the TRP (Transmission and Receiving Point)-UE sensing mode and the TRP-TRP bistatic sensing mode in ISAC scenarios.

[0194] The sensing transmitter can flexibly configure the sensing camera (MG) based on current sensing measurement requirements. These requirements may include at least one of the following: sensing measurement accuracy requirements, sensing measurement efficiency requirements, sensing measurement frequency requirements, and sensing measurement type requirements. The configuration method of the sensing camera may include at least one of the following: configuring the sensing camera's measurement parameters, configuring the sensing camera's measurement timing, and configuring the sensing camera's measurement duration. The configuration method of the sensing camera differs depending on the specific sensing measurement requirements.

[0195] For example, if the current sensing measurement requirement of the sensing transmitter is sensing measurement efficiency, and the sensing measurement efficiency needs to be improved under the current requirement, then the sensing transmitter can be configured to have fewer sensing MGs within a repetition cycle, and the gap offset between each sensing MG is low. If the current sensing measurement requirement of the sensing transmitter is sensing measurement accuracy, and the sensing measurement accuracy of the sensing receiver needs to be improved under the current requirement, then the sensing transmitter can be configured to have more sensing MGs within a repetition cycle, and the gap duration between each sensing MG is long.

[0196] The configuration of the sensing MG allows the sensing transmitter to perform effective mobility management. By configuring the sensing MG, the sensing transmitter controls when the sensing receiver performs sensing measurements and the duration of those measurements, thus supporting sensing services in the communication system. The sensing transmitter can determine the configuration method of the sensing MG based on the current network environment and sensing measurement requirements, and then transmit sensing reference signals to the sensing target based on this configuration during subsequent sensing services.

[0197] The configuration method of the sensing MG is used to configure the position of the sensing MG in the time domain, as well as the type and duration of the sensing MG at each position. The sensing transmitter can configure a sensing measurement period, which can include one or more sensing MGs within a repetition period. The sensing MGs at the same relative time domain position are identical within each measurement period. The sensing receiver measures the sensing reference signal within the repetition period. The configuration method of the sensing MG in the sensing transmitter can include at least one of the following:

[0198] Configure the starting position of the sensing MG in the time domain;

[0199] Configure the duration of the sensing MG in the time domain;

[0200] Configure the repetition period of the sensing MG in the time domain;

[0201] Configure the number of sensing MGs in a repetition cycle;

[0202] Configure the type of each sensing MG within a repeating cycle;

[0203] Configure the measurement interval between each sensing MG within a repetition cycle;

[0204] Configure the duration of each sensing MG within a repeating cycle.

[0205] Based on the above configuration method, multiple sets of sensing MGs can be configured in the sensing transmitter. The sensing transmitter can combine the above configuration methods according to the current sensing communication requirements to adapt to the current network environment.

[0206] In some embodiments, the sensing MG is sparsely arranged in the time domain.

[0207] For example, the sensing transmitter is configured with sensing cameras sparsely distributed in the time domain. By designing multiple cameras to be sparsely distributed, the sensing capability can be improved while effectively increasing resource utilization efficiency.

[0208] Optionally, in some embodiments, a plurality of sensing MGs are included in the first period, and the first period is a repetition period of the sensing MGs in the time domain. The configuration includes at least one of the following:

[0209] During the first cycle, the gap offset of each sensing MG is different;

[0210] During the first cycle, the gap length of each sensing MG is configured independently;

[0211] During the first cycle, the interval length of each sensing MG is the first duration;

[0212] In the first cycle, the interval duration between each sensing MG is shorter than the second duration, which is the minimum time interval between two adjacent sensing MGs in the first cycle.

[0213] During the first cycle, the activation state of each sensing MG is configured independently;

[0214] Multiple sensory MGs within the second period are continuously activated or deactivated, and the second period is a continuous time range in the time domain;

[0215] Update the configuration parameters of multiple sensing MGs. The configuration parameters include at least one of the following: gap ID, gap type, and measurement gap repetition period.

[0216] For example, in this embodiment, the sensing transmitter configures multiple sensing MGs within a first cycle. The first cycle is a repetition cycle of the sensing MGs in the time domain. The sensing transmitter can set the position of the first cycle in the time domain and the duration of the first cycle in the time domain according to the communication sensing requirements of the current network environment. In order to obtain high-resolution speed sensing, the sensing MGs need to be sparsely arranged in the time domain. The sensing transmitter can make the sensing MGs sparsely arranged in the time domain through at least one of the following configuration methods:

[0217] Method 1: The gap offset is the offset of each sensing MG relative to the start point of the cycle within one repetition period. The gap offset configures the starting position of each sensing MG within the first cycle. By configuring different gap offsets for multiple sensing MGs within the first cycle, the sensing MGs can be sparsely arranged within one repetition period in the time domain. For example, Figure 2B is a schematic diagram of the sensing MG gap offset according to an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 2B, the sensing transmitter can configure relative parameters to make multiple MGs sparsely and irregularly arranged within the first cycle. For example, the first cycle is 60ms, which includes 10 sensing MGs, where the gap duration of each sensing MG is 1ms. The gap offsets of each sensing MG are configured as follows: 1, 4, 7, 14, 19, 26, 31, 40, 46, 55. This gap offset is the offset of the starting position of each sensing MG relative to the corresponding starting position in the first cycle. This configuration method allows for an irregular arrangement of gaps between the sensing MGs, thereby achieving a sparse arrangement of multiple sensing MGs in the first cycle.

[0218] In this embodiment, the sparse arrangement of multiple MGs in the first period is an irregular arrangement, and the method of this irregular arrangement is not limited in this embodiment.

[0219] Optionally, in some embodiments, the gap offset of each sensing MG, in its temporal arrangement position within the first period, satisfies the following formula: S={Mnd+k,n=0,1,2,…,N-1}∪{Nmd+k,m=0,1,2,…,2M-1}

[0220] Where S is the gap offset of each sensing MG, M and N are a pair of coprime positive integers, d is the second duration, and k is a positive integer less than d.

[0221] For example, d is the minimum time interval between two adjacent sensing MGs within the first period. By using the above-mentioned gap offset values, the sensing MGs are arranged in a coprime sparse configuration within the first period. In this embodiment, by configuring the values ​​of M, N, k, and d, and combining them with the above-mentioned formula for coprime sparse arrangement, multiple gap offset configuration schemes are obtained. For example, when M=3, N=5, k=1, and d=2, substituting these values ​​into the above formula yields the gap offsets of multiple sensing MGs within the first period as follows: {1, 7, 11, 13, 19, 21, 25, 31, 41, 51}, where the temporal position of each sensing MG can be represented as the temporal position of the first element of the sensing MG. When M=2, N=5, k=1, and d=3, substituting these values ​​into the above formula yields the gap offsets of multiple sensing MGs within the first period as follows: {1, 7, 13, 16, 19, 25, 31, 46}.

[0222] Optionally, in some embodiments, M, N, d, and k satisfy the following formula: (2M-1)Nd+k<T

[0223] Where T represents the first period.

[0224] For example, to avoid the first cycle being too long and causing the sensing measurement to consume a large amount of communication resources, thus affecting communication efficiency, this embodiment limits the relevant parameters in the coprime sparse arrangement formula, setting (2M-1)Nd+k < T, thereby limiting the duration of the first cycle in the time domain and improving the sensing measurement efficiency. For example, if the sensing transmitter is configured with T = 160, then (2M-1)Nd+k < 160 is set.

[0225] Optionally, in some embodiments, the gap offset of each sensing MG, in its temporal arrangement position within the first period, satisfies the following formula: S={n1d+k,n1=0,1,2,…,N1}∪{(n2+1)Md+k,n2=0,1,2,…,N2}

[0226] Where S is the gap offset of each sensing MG, M is a positive integer greater than or equal to N1, N1 is a positive integer, N2 is a positive integer, d is the second duration, and k is a positive integer less than d.

[0227] For example, by using the above-mentioned gap offset values, the sensing MGs are arranged in a nested sparse pattern within the first period. In this embodiment, by configuring the values ​​of M, N1, N2, k, and d, and combining them with the above-mentioned formula for coprime sparse arrangement, multiple gap offset configuration schemes are obtained. For example, when M=3, N1=2, N2=3, k=1, and d=2, substituting these values ​​into the above formula, the gap offsets of multiple sensing MGs within the first period are obtained as follows: {1, 3, 5, 7, 13, 19, 25}, where the temporal position of each sensing MG can be represented as the temporal position of the first element of the sensing MG.

[0228] Optionally, in some embodiments, M, N2, and d satisfy the following formula: (N2+1)Md<T

[0229] Where T represents the first period.

[0230] For example, when multiple sensing MGs are configured in the sensing transmitter to satisfy a nested sparse arrangement, it is also necessary to limit the length of the first period in the time domain to avoid excessive communication resources occupied by sensing measurements, which would affect communication efficiency. In this embodiment, the relevant parameters in the coprime sparse arrangement formula are limited, and (N2+1)Md < T is set to limit the duration of the first period in the time domain, thereby improving the efficiency of sensing measurements.

[0231] It should be noted that the coprime sparse arrangement and nested sparse arrangement mentioned above are independent arrangement methods. In some embodiments, the sensing transmitter can combine the coprime sparse arrangement method and the nested sparse arrangement method based on the needs of the current network environment. For example, two different coprime sparse arrangement methods can be combined, such as combining the sensing MG sequence-1 obtained when M=3, N=5, k=1, d=2 with the sensing MG sequence-2 obtained when M=4, N=7, k=0, d=2, to form a sensing MG sequence-3 = (sensing MG sequence-1) + (sensing MG sequence-2). Alternatively, the sensing MG sequence-4 obtained by the coprime sparse arrangement method can be combined with the sensing MG sequence-5 obtained by the nested sparse arrangement method to obtain a sensing MG sequence-6 = (sensing MG sequence-4) + (sensing MG sequence-5). This embodiment does not limit the combination method of sparse arrangement.

[0232] Method 2: Configure the gap length of each sensing MG in the first cycle;

[0233] Example 1: In the first cycle, the gap length of all sensing MGs is configured independently. For example, the gap length of sensing MG-1 is L1, the gap length of sensing MG-2 is L2, and the gap length of sensing MG-3 is L3.

[0234] Example 2: The gap length of all sensing MGs is uniformly configured within the first cycle, with each sensing MG having a gap length of L. For example, the gap length of each sensing MG within the first cycle is configured to be L = 1ms.

[0235] Example 3: When configuring the gap length of each sensing MG, the sensing transmitter can randomly configure the gap length of the sensing MG. However, in order to prevent the sensing MG from conflicting in the time domain during the first period, the gap length of each sensing MG satisfies L < d, where d represents the minimum time interval between two adjacent sensing MGs, thereby ensuring that the sensing MGs do not overlap in the time domain.

[0236] Method 3: Configure the activation state of each sensing MG during the first cycle;

[0237] For example, during sensing measurement, considering the time-varying nature of sensing performance requirements, the sensing receiver may not necessarily need to measure all pre-configured sensing cameras within a single repetition period. The lower the sensing performance requirements, the fewer sensing cameras the sensing receiver needs. Flexible scheduling of sensing cameras can be achieved by configuring the activation or deactivation of preset sensing cameras, resulting in a sparse arrangement of sensing cameras in the time domain.

[0238] Example 1: Independent activation and deactivation of each sensing MG within the first cycle. For instance, activation or deactivation of each sensing MG within the first cycle can be achieved using a bitmap. For example, first, a bitmap structure is defined, where each bit represents a specific sensing MG within the first cycle. The sensing transmitter controls whether the corresponding sensing MG is activated or deactivated by configuring each bit in the bitmap. Setting the number of bits in each bit to 1 indicates that the corresponding sensing MG is in an active state; setting the number of bits to 0 indicates that the corresponding sensing MG is in an inactive state.

[0239] The sensing transmitter can configure the activation or deactivation of preset sensing MGs to achieve a sparse arrangement of sensing MGs in the time domain. For example, if the sensing transmitter is configured with a dot matrix of 000100010010001, it indicates that among the preset 15 sensing MGs, the active sensing MGs are: sensing MG-4, sensing MG-8, sensing MG-11, and sensing MG-15; the other sensing MGs are inactive. By configuring not to continuously activate adjacent sensing MGs, a sparse arrangement of sensing MGs in the time domain is achieved. Within the time range corresponding to the inactive sensing MGs, the sensing receiver can perform normal communication interactions with the serving cell.

[0240] Example 2: Continuously activate or deactivate the sensing MG within the first cycle. Configure multiple sensing MGs within the second cycle to continuously activate or deactivate. The second cycle can be a continuous duration range within the first cycle. For example, the first cycle is 60ms, and by configuring the second cycle to 23ms-40ms, all sensing MGs within the second cycle are activated. Optionally, the second cycle can also span two repeated first cycles. For example, the duration of the first cycle is 60ms, and in the time domain, the time domain position of the first repeated cycle is 1ms-60ms, and the time domain position of the second repeated cycle is 81ms-140ms. The sensing transmitter configures the time domain position corresponding to the second cycle to be 50ms-100ms, and continuously activates the sensing MGs included in the second cycle. Then, according to the time domain position of the second cycle, the sensing MGs in the time domain range of 50ms-60ms in the first repeated cycle are activated, and the sensing MGs in the time domain range of 81ms-100ms in the second repeated cycle are activated.

[0241] Optionally, the instruction information can also indicate the first and last sensing MGs to be activated / deactivated. For example, if the instruction information is used to activate consecutive sensing MGs within the first cycle, then the instruction information includes the starting sensing MG to be activated consecutively, and the ending sensing MG to be activated consecutively. For example, if the first cycle includes 10 sensing MGs (sensing MG-1 to sensing MG-10), and the instruction information includes sensing MG-3 and sensing MG-7, then the sensing MGs between sensing MG-3 and sensing MG-7 will be activated according to the instruction information, that is, sensing MG-3, sensing MG-4, sensing MG-5, sensing MG-6, and sensing MG-7 will be activated.

[0242] Method 4: Update the configuration parameters of multiple sensing MGs, which include at least one of the following: gap ID, gap type, and measurement gap repetition period.

[0243] For example, the sensing transmitter can update the configuration parameters of each sensing MG in the first cycle based on the current sensing communication requirements to achieve a sparse arrangement of sensing MGs in the time domain.

[0244] It should be noted that the above configuration methods can be configured independently or combined based on the current communication environment of the sensing transmitter. For example, the sensing transmitter uses methods 1 and 2 to configure the sensing MGs within the first period. The multiple sensing MGs within the first period are configured to be sorted using a coprime-based sparse arrangement, and the gap length between each sensing MG is set to 1 ms. This embodiment does not limit the combination of configuration methods; the sensing transmitter can combine the above methods based on the current sensing communication requirements.

[0245] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate the configuration parameters of the sensing receiver sensing the MG.

[0246] In some embodiments, the sensing receiver receives the first information sent by the sensing transmitter, but is not limited thereto. The sensing receiver may also receive the first information sent by other communication nodes, in which case step S2101 is omitted.

[0247] In some embodiments, the sensing receiver acquires the first information specified by the protocol, in which step S2101 is omitted.

[0248] In some embodiments, the sensing receiver obtains first information from the upper layer(s), in which case step S2101 is omitted.

[0249] In some embodiments, when the sensing transmitter completes the relevant configuration of the sensing MG in the first cycle, it can generate first information according to the configuration method of the sensing MG.

[0250] In some embodiments, in the configuration method of the sensing transmitter for the sensing MG, relevant configuration parameters are identified and the configuration parameters are used as the first information.

[0251] In some embodiments, the sensing transmitter can compare the configuration method with the preset configuration method agreed upon in the protocol to determine the updated configuration parameters of the sensing MG, and use the updated configuration parameters as the first information.

[0252] In some embodiments, the sensing transmitter sends a sensing reference signal to the sensing receiver based on the configuration of the sensing MG. Therefore, in order to achieve uniformity in sensing measurements, the sensing transmitter needs to synchronize the configuration of the sensing MG to the sensing receiver, so that the sensing receiver can determine the position information of the sensing MG in the time domain and perform sensing measurements based on this position information.

[0253] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first information is carried by at least one of the following: RRC signaling, MAC CE signaling, DCI, and first signaling.

[0254] For example, the sensing transmitter can synchronously sense the configuration information of the MG to the sensing receiver via RRC signaling, MAC CE signaling, or DCI. The sensing transmitter can also carry first information via a first signaling, which is control signaling information and channel information used to transmit sensing control signals.

[0255] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first information includes a third duration;

[0256] The third time interval indicates the first moment when the sensing receiver begins to perform sensing measurements. The first moment is: t2 = t1 + T l

[0257] Where t1 is the time when the sensing receiver receives the measurement instruction, and T l t2 is the third duration, and t2 is the first moment.

[0258] For example, the sensing transmitter indicates a third duration to the sensing receiver, which is used to indicate the first moment when the sensing receiver begins performing sensing measurements. The sensing receiver, based on the moment it receives the measurement indication as t1, determines the duration based on the third duration T. l The first moment when the sensing receiver begins performing sensing measurements is determined to be: t2 = t1 + T l .

[0259] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the sensing measurement of the sensing receiver is performed on the sensing MG, the third duration is the maximum gap duration between two adjacent sensing MGs within the first cycle.

[0260] To prevent conflicts between sensing MGs, a third duration is configured as the maximum gap duration between two adjacent sensing MGs in the first cycle, so that the sensing MGs do not overlap in the time domain.

[0261] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the sensing measurement of the sensing receiver is not performed on the sensing MG, the third duration can be set to a preset duration. This preset duration can be configured by the sensing transmitter or agreed upon by a protocol.

[0262] Since the sensing measurement MG is configured to measure the reference signal of the neighboring cell, and the frequency of the neighboring cell may be different from that of the serving cell, if the current measurement is of the reference signal of the serving cell, there is no need to perform the neighboring cell measurement. Therefore, the configured MG does not need to perform the measurement, meaning there is a situation where the sensing measurement is not performed on the sensing MG. Conversely, if the current measurement is of the reference signal of the neighboring cell, then the corresponding sensing measurement is performed on the sensing MG.

[0263] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first information further includes a fourth duration, which is used to indicate the measurement duration of the sensing receiver sensing the reference signal.

[0264] For example, based on the fourth duration T transmitted by the sensing transmitter m The third moment, which marks the end of the sensing measurement by the sensing receiver, is determined to be: t3 = t2 + T m Where t2 is the start time of the sensing measurement by the sensing receiver.

[0265] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first information includes at least one of the following:

[0266] Sensing the gap offset parameters of the MG;

[0267] The interval duration parameter of the sensing MG;

[0268] The activation state parameters of the sensing MG.

[0269] For example, the sensing transmitter, based on the configuration method of the sensing MG, can send the configuration parameters in the configuration method to the sensing receiver. The first information may include the configuration parameters of the sensing MG, which may include at least one of the following: gap offset parameter, gap duration parameter, and activation state parameter.

[0270] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first information includes a gap offset parameter, which includes:

[0271] M, N, d, k; or,

[0272] M, N1, N2, d, k;

[0273] Where M and N are a pair of coprime positive integers, d is the minimum time interval between two adjacent sensing MGs in the first cycle, k is a positive integer less than d, N1 is a positive integer, and N2 is a positive integer.

[0274] For example, the sensing transmitter includes multiple sensing MGs, which are coprime sparsely arranged in the time domain, or the multiple sensing MGs are nested sparsely arranged in the time domain. If the sensing transmitter is configured with the sensing MGs coprime sparsely arranged in the time domain, then the gap offset parameters in the first information include: M, N, d, k. The above coprime sparse arrangement formula can be configured in the sensing receiver: S={Mnd+k,n=0,1,2,…,N-1}∪{Nmd+k,m=0,1,2,…,2M-1}

[0275] The sensing receiver determines the position information of the sensing MG in the time domain based on the formula and the gap offset parameter.

[0276] If the sensing transmitter is configured with a nested sparse arrangement of sensing MGs in the time domain, then the gap offset parameters in the first information include: M, N1, N2, d, and k. The nested sparse arrangement can be configured in the sensing receiver using the formula: S = {n1d + k, n1 = 0, 1, 2, ..., N1} ∪ {(n2 + 1)Md + k, n2 = 0, 1, 2, ..., N2}

[0277] The sensing receiver determines the position information of the sensing MG in the time domain based on the formula and the gap offset parameter, and determines how to perform sensing measurements based on the position information.

[0278] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first information includes a gap duration parameter, which includes:

[0279] Multiple sensing MGs correspond to multiple gap durations; or,

[0280] Set the interval duration.

[0281] For example, if the sensing transmitter configures the gap duration of each sensing MG independently, the gap duration parameter includes multiple gap durations corresponding to each sensing MG. The gap duration of each sensing MG can be indicated based on the position of the multiple sensing MGs in the first cycle. For example, if the first cycle includes 6 sensing MGs, and the first information sent by the sensing transmitter to the sensing receiver includes 6 gap duration parameters, namely: 1ms, 0.5ms, 1.5ms, 1ms, 2ms, and 0.5ms, then according to the order of the gap duration parameters, the gap duration of sensing MG-1 is determined to be 1ms, the gap duration of sensing MG-2 is 0.5ms, the gap duration of sensing MG-3 is 1.5ms, the gap duration of sensing MG-4 is 1ms, the gap duration of sensing MG-5 is 2ms, and the gap duration of sensing MG-6 is 0.5ms. If the sensing transmitter configures the gap duration of each sensing MG to be uniform, then the gap duration parameter includes the set gap duration. Optionally, the gap duration parameter may not be included in the first information, and the gap duration of each sensing MG may be agreed upon by a preset protocol to be a set gap duration.

[0282] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first information includes an activation state parameter, which includes:

[0283] Multiple sensory MGs correspond to multiple activation states; or,

[0284] The second cycle is used to indicate the duration range of continuous activation or deactivation of multiple sensing MGs.

[0285] For example, if the sensing transmitter independently configures the activation state of multiple sensing MGs within the first cycle, the activation state parameters include multiple activation states corresponding to each sensing MG. For instance, the sensing transmitter can indicate the activation state of multiple sensing MGs within the first cycle by configuring bit parameters. Each bit in the bit parameters indicates the activation state of the corresponding sensing MG, and the number of bits indicates whether the corresponding sensing MG is active or deactivated. For example, a bit "0" represents inactive, and a bit "1" represents active. If the first cycle includes 8 sensing MGs, and the sensing transmitter configures the bit parameters as 10001010, then sensing MG-1, sensing MG-5, and sensing MG-7 are activated, while sensing MG-2, sensing MG-3, sensing MG-4, sensing MG-6, and sensing MG-8 are deactivated.

[0286] If the sensing transmitter continuously activates or deactivates the activation states of multiple sensing MGs within the first cycle, the activation state parameters include a second cycle, which is used to indicate the duration range of continuous activation or deactivation of multiple sensing MGs within the first cycle.

[0287] Optionally, in some embodiments, the various types of configuration parameters in the first information can be configured independently by the sensing transmitter, or they can be configured together by the sensing transmitter and sent to the sensing receiver.

[0288] Step S2102: The sensing receiver receives the first information.

[0289] For example, the definition of the first information is the same as in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here. The sensing receiver can determine the relative time-domain position of the sensing MG within the repetition period based on the received first information, and determine how to perform sensing measurements based on the relative time-domain position.

[0290] For example, the sensing receiver can determine the first moment to start the sensing measurement and the duration of the sensing measurement within a repeating cycle based on the third and fourth durations included in the first information, thereby determining the time-domain position of the sensing measurement within the time domain, i.e., the first cycle of the sensing measurement performed by the sensing receiver. In this embodiment, the first cycle of the sensing measurement may include one or more sensing memory sensors (MGs). During the duration of the sensing MG, the sensing transmitter will not transmit or receive data, but will only measure the sensing reference signal. The sensing transmitter determines the time-domain position of the sensing MG in the first cycle during the sensing measurement process based on the parameters of the sensing MG included in the first information, and performs the sensing MG according to that time-domain position.

[0291] For example, based on the gap offset parameter in the first information, the starting position of the sensing MG is determined, along with its offset in the time domain relative to the start of the first cycle, thus determining the starting position of each sensing MG within the first cycle. Based on the gap duration parameter in the first information, the duration of the sensing MG is determined, thus determining the ending position of each sensing MG within the first cycle. Based on the activation state in the first information, the state of each sensing MG is determined to be either active or deactivated, and based on this activation state, the time domain position of each sensing MG is determined, and whether to perform a sensing gap measurement.

[0292] Optionally, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0293] The sensing receiver determines the temporal location of the sensing MG based on the first information.

[0294] For example, the sensing receiver determines the relative temporal position of each sensing MG within a first period based on the first information. For instance, the first information includes a gap offset parameter and a gap duration parameter. The sensing receiver determines the starting position of each sensing MG within the first period based on the gap offset and the ending position of each sensing MG within the first period based on the gap duration parameter.

[0410] In some embodiments, the steps and their optional implementations in other embodiments described before or after this embodiment, as well as other related parts in the specification, can be referred to, and will not be repeated here.

[0411] In some embodiments, to obtain high-resolution velocity perception, the motion sensors (MGs) can be sparsely arranged in the time domain. The configuration of the relevant MGs can be updated as follows:

[0412] (1) Gap Offset Configuration of Sensing MG: By configuring different gap offsets for multiple MGs, the MGs can be sparsely arranged within a repeating period in the time domain. Specifically, the following values ​​can be configured:

[0413] Example 1: Sparse arrangement based on coprime: S={Mnd+k,n=0,1,2,…,N-1}∪{Nmd+k,m=0,1,2,…,2M-1}

[0414] Where d represents the minimum time interval between two adjacent MGs, M < N, M and N are a pair of coprime positive integers, k represents any positive integer less than d (k is greater than or equal to 1), and (2M-1)Nd+k < 160.

[0415] Example 2: Nested Sparse Arrangement: S = {n1d + k, n1 = 0, 1, 2, ..., N1} ∪ {(n2 + 1)Md + k, n2 = 0, 1, 2, ..., N2}

[0416] Where d represents the minimum time interval between two adjacent MGs, M is a positive integer greater than or equal to N1, k represents any positive integer less than d, and (N2+1)Md < 160.

[0417] (2) Gap Length Configuration of Sensing MG;

[0418] Example 1: The length of all gaps within the repetition cycle is configured independently. For example: the length of Gap-1 is L1: 1ms; the length of Gap-2 is L2: 1.5ms; the length of Gap-1 is L3: 2ms.

[0419] Example 2: All gaps within the repetition period have the same length, for example: all gaps have a length of T: 1ms.

[0420] For example, to prevent temporal conflicts in MGs, the length of each gap needs to satisfy: L < d, where d represents the minimum time interval between two adjacent MGs.

[0421] (3) Sensing MG Activation Configuration: Considering that sensing performance requirements are time-varying, the sensing receiver does not necessarily need to measure all pre-configured MGs within a gap repetition period. The lower the sensing performance requirements, the fewer MGs are needed. Activation and deactivation configurations of pre-configured MGs can be used for flexible scheduling.

[0422] Example 1: Each gap is independently recorded for past activation, which is achieved through a bitmap.

[0423] Example 2: Continuous activation and deactivation of the MG within a single gap repetition cycle. Only the first and last gaps of the MG that need to be activated / deactivated are indicated.

[0424] For example, Figure 4A is a schematic diagram of the MG activation state according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 4A, there are a total of 6 MGs in one MG repetition cycle. The 3rd, 4th, and 5th MGs are activated by indicating gap index 3 and gap index 5. The 6th, 7th, and 8th MGs are activated by indicating gap index 6 and gap index 8.

[0425] (4) Other configurations of the sensing MG include: Gap ID, Gap Type, and MGRP (Measurement Gap Repetition Periodic). For example, other configurations of the sensing MG can be found in the MG configuration section of related technologies.

[0426] In some embodiments, the configuration of the sensing measurement duration takes into account that sensing services may be bursty and have high latency requirements. Based on the relevant MG configuration, the following updates are made:

[0427] Example 1: Sensing measurements are performed on the MG;

[0428] (1) The sensing receiver determines the first time t1 based on the time of the received measurement indication, and determines the second time t2 = t1 + T. l T l It is the gap length of the MG with the largest gap length among all the MGs configured at the sensing receiver, and this second moment is determined as the moment when the sensing measurement begins.

[0429] (2) Based on the measurement duration T pre-configured on the network side m Determine the third time point t3 = t2 + T m The third moment is determined as the end time of the sensing measurement.

[0430] For example, Figure 4B is a schematic diagram of a measurement cycle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 4B, the sensing measurement is performed on the MG, and the measurement duration T is pre-configured by the network side. m At the moment t1 when the sensing receiver receives the measurement instruction, the moment t2 when the sensing measurement begins is determined to be t1 + T. l The corresponding time when the sensing measurement ends is t3 = t2 + T m .

[0431] Example 2: Sensing measurements are not performed on the MG;

[0432] (1) The sensing receiver determines the first time t1 based on the time of the received measurement indication, and determines the second time t2 = t1 + T, where T represents a fixed time, which can be configured by the base station or agreed upon by the protocol. This second time is determined as the time when the sensing measurement begins.

[0433] (2) Based on the measurement duration T pre-configured on the network side m Determine the third time point t3 = t2 + T m The third moment is determined as the end time of the sensing measurement.

[0434] For example, Figure 4C is a schematic diagram of a measurement period according to an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 4C, the sensing measurement is not performed on the MG. After receiving the measurement instruction at time t1, the sensing receiver starts the sensing measurement at time t2 = t1 + T, where T represents a fixed time period, which can be configured by the base station or agreed upon by a protocol. The measurement duration T is pre-configured on the network side. m Determine the third time point t3 = t2 + T m The third moment is determined as the end time of the sensing measurement.

[0435] In some embodiments, according to the MG configuration in the above embodiments, the network side can instruct the sensing receiver on parameters via RRC (Radio Resource Control) signaling. For example, the parameters may include at least one of the following:

[0436] The measurement of gap offset parameters includes the following two methods:

[0439] The measurement of gap length-related parameters includes the following two methods:

[0440] Method 1: [L1, L2, L3, L4, ...]; where L1 corresponds to the gap length of the first MG in a repeating cycle, L2 corresponds to the gap length of the second MG in a repeating cycle, L3 corresponds to the gap length of the third MG in a repeating cycle, and L4 corresponds to the gap length of the fourth MG in a repeating cycle.

[0441] Method 2: [L n ]; where the gap length of each MG within a repetition cycle is L. n ;

[0442] MG activation parameters include the following two methods:

[0443] Method 1: [S1, S2, S3, S4, ...]; where S1 represents the activation state of the first MG within the repetition cycle. For example, when S1 = 1, it means that sensing measurement can be performed within this MG; when S1 = 0, it means that sensing measurement cannot be performed within this MG.

[0444] Method 2: [S n -S m ]; among which, [S n -S m [] indicates the period during which the sensory MG is continuously activated or deactivated. For example, [S] n -S m ] represents the continuous activation cycle of the sensing MG. If n=1 and m=4, it means that sensing measurements can be performed on the first MG, the second MG, the third MG, and the fourth MG.

[0445] In some embodiments, according to the sensing measurement duration configuration in the above embodiments, the network side can instruct the sensing receiver on parameters via RRC signaling or DCI signaling, specifically including: sensing measurement duration: T m .

[0446] In some embodiments, the parameters in the above embodiments can be configured independently for the sensing receiver, or they can be configured together for the sensing receiver.

The processor can be, for example, a general-purpose processor, such as a Central Processing Unit (CPU) or a microprocessor, and the memory can be internal or external to the device.

In another implementation, the processor can implement certain functions through the logical relationships of hardware circuits. The logical relationships of the aforementioned hardware circuits are fixed or reconfigurable. For example, the processor is a hardware circuit implemented using an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a programmable logic device (PLD), such as an FPGA. In a reconfigurable hardware circuit, the process of the processor loading a configuration document and configuring the hardware circuit can be understood as the process of the processor loading instructions to implement the functions of some or all of the above units or modules. Furthermore, it can also be a hardware circuit designed for artificial intelligence, which can be understood as an ASIC, such as a Neural Network Processing Unit (NPU), a Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), or a Deep Learning Processing Unit (DPU).
