For example, a base station or a network may transmit the higher layer parameter to the terminal. For example, the higher layer parameter may be transmitted via radio resource control (RRC) signaling or medium access control (MAC) signaling.

[0043] FIG. 1 illustrates a communication procedure between devices according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 1 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure, and some descriptions, functions, procedures, suggestions, methods, and / or operations of the embodiments may be omitted.

[0044] Referring to FIG. 1, in step S101, the first device and the second device can perform synchronization. For example, the first device may be a terminal and / or at least one of the devices proposed in the present disclosure. For example, the second device may be a base station, a network, a RAN node, an NTN node / cell, a TRP, a terminal and / or at least one of the devices proposed in the present disclosure. For example, the first device may perform an initial cell search operation. For example, the first device may detect at least one synchronization signal transmitted according to a rule predefined by the second device. Here, for example, the synchronization signal may include a plurality of synchronization signals (e.g., primary synchronization signal, secondary synchronization signal, etc.) classified according to structure or use. Through this, the first device can identify the boundaries of the frame, subframe, time unit, slot, and / or symbol of the second device, and the first device can obtain information about the second device (e.g., cell identifier).

[0045] In step S103, the first device may obtain system information transmitted by the second device. For example, the system information may include information related to the attributes, characteristics, and / or capabilities of the second device that are necessary to connect to the second device and use the service. For example, the system information may be classified according to content (e.g., whether it is essential for connection), transmission structure (e.g., the channel used, whether it is provided on-demand), etc. For example, the system information may be classified into a master information block (MIB) and a system information block (SIB). For example, if necessary, the first device may transmit a signal requesting the system information prior to receiving the system information. For example, the request and provision of the system information may be performed after a random access procedure described later.

[0046] In step S105, the first device and the second device may perform a random access procedure. For example, the first device may transmit and / or receive at least one message for the random access procedure (e.g., random access preamble, random access response message, etc.) based on information related to the random access channel of the second device obtained through system information (e.g., channel location, channel structure, structure of supported preamble, etc.). For example, the first device may transmit a preamble (e.g., Msg1) through the random access channel, and the first device may receive a random access response message (e.g., Msg2). The first device may transmit a message (e.g., Msg3) containing information related to the first device (e.g., identification information) to the second device using scheduling information included in the random access response message, and the first device may receive a message (e.g., Msg4) for contention resolution and / or connection establishment. For example, Msg1 and Msg3 can be transmitted and received as a single message (e.g., MsgA), and / or Msg2 and Msg4 can be transmitted and received as a single message (e.g., MsgB).

[0047] In step S107, the first device and the second device may perform signaling of control information. Here, for example, the control information may be defined in various layers, such as a layer controlling the connection (e.g., a radio resource control (RRC) layer), a layer handling mapping between a logical channel and a transmission channel (e.g., a media access control (MAC) layer), and a layer handling a physical channel (e.g., a physical (PHY) layer). For example, the first device and the second device may perform at least one of signaling to establish a connection, signaling to determine settings related to communication, and / or signaling to indicate allocated resources. For example, the control information may be signaled / transmitted through a control channel. For example, the control information and / or the control channel may be used to schedule at least one of data, a data channel (e.g., a shared channel), and / or control information on the data channel.

[0048] In step S109, the first device and the second device may transmit and / or receive data. For example, the first device and the second device may process data based on signaling of control information and transmit and / or receive it. For example, when transmitting data, the first device or the second device may perform at least one of channel encoding, rate matching, scrambling, constellation mapping, layer mapping, waveform modulation, antenna mapping, and / or resource mapping on the information bits. For example, when receiving data, the first device or the second device may perform at least one of signal extraction from resources, antenna-specific waveform demodulation, signal placement considering layer mapping, constellation demapping, descrambling, and / or channel decoding.

[0049] For example, the layers of the radio interface protocol between the first device and the second device can be classified into L1 (layer 1), L2 (layer 2), L3 (layer 3), etc. For example, the physical layer belonging to layer 1 can provide an information transfer service using a physical channel, and the radio resource control (RRC) layer located at layer 3 can perform the role of controlling radio resources between the first device and the second device. To this end, for example, the RRC layer can exchange RRC messages between the first device and the second device.

[0050] FIG. 2 illustrates a radio protocol architecture according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 2 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure, and some descriptions, functions, procedures, proposals, methods, and / or operations of said embodiment may be omitted. For example, FIG. 2(a) may represent a radio protocol stack in the user plane for uplink communication or downlink communication, and FIG. 2(b) may represent a radio protocol stack in the control plane for uplink communication or downlink communication. For example, FIG. 2(c) may represent a radio protocol stack in the user plane for device-to-device communication, and FIG. 2(d) may represent a radio protocol stack in the control plane for device-to-device communication.

[0051] For example, the physical layer can provide information transmission services to upper layers using a physical channel. For example, the physical layer can be connected to the upper layer, the MAC (medium access control) layer, through a transport channel. For example, data can be transmitted between the MAC layer and the physical layer through a transport channel. For example, transport channels can be classified according to how and with what characteristics data is transmitted through a wireless interface. For example, data can be transmitted through a physical channel between different physical layers, for example, between the physical layers of a first device and a second device. For example, the physical channel can be modulated using the OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) method, and time and frequency can be utilized as wireless resources.

[0052] For example, the MAC layer can provide services to the upper layer, the RLC (radio link control) layer, through logical channels. For example, the MAC layer can provide mapping functions from multiple logical channels to multiple transmission channels. For example, the MAC layer can provide logical channel multiplexing functions through mapping from multiple logical channels to a single transmission channel. For example, the MAC sublayer can provide data transmission services over logical channels.

[0053] For example, the RLC layer can perform concatenation, segmentation, and reassembly of RLC service data units (SDUs). For example, to guarantee various quality of service (QoS) required by a radio bearer (RB), the RLC layer can provide three modes of operation: transparent mode (TM), unacknowledged mode (UM), and acknowledged mode (AM). For example, AM RLC can provide error correction through automatic repeat requests (ARQ).

[0054] For example, the RRC (radio resource control) layer may be defined only in the control plane. For example, the RRC layer may be responsible for controlling logical channels, transmission channels, and physical channels in relation to the configuration, reconfiguration, and release of radio bearers. For example, RB may refer to a logical path provided by the first layer (e.g., physical layer) and the second layer (e.g., MAC layer, RLC layer, PDCP (packet data convergence protocol) layer, SDAP (service data adaptation protocol) layer, etc.) for data transfer between a first device and a second device.

[0055] For example, the functions of the PDCP layer in the user plane may include the delivery of user data, header compression, and ciphering. For example, the functions of the PDCP layer in the control plane may include the delivery of control plane data and encryption / integrity protection.

[0056] For example, the establishment of an RB can mean the process of defining the characteristics of the wireless protocol layer and channel to provide specific services, and setting each specific parameter and method of operation. For example, an RB can be divided into two types: an SRB (signaling radio bearer) and a DRB (data radio bearer). For example, an SRB can be used as a channel to transmit RRC messages in the control plane, and a DRB can be used as a channel to transmit user data in the user plane.

[0057] For example, if an RRC connection is established between the RRC layer of the terminal and the RRC layer of the base station, the terminal is in the RRC_CONNECTED state, and if not, it may be in the RRC_IDLE state. For example, in the case of NR, an additional RRC_INACTIVE state is defined, and a terminal in the RRC_INACTIVE state maintains a connection with the core network while releasing the connection with the base station.

[0058] For example, a downlink transmission channel may include at least one of a broadcast channel (BCH) that transmits system information and / or a shared channel (SCH) that transmits user traffic or control messages. For example, traffic or control messages for a downlink multicast or broadcast service may be transmitted via a downlink SCH or via a separate multicast channel (MCH). Meanwhile, an uplink transmission channel may include at least one of a random access channel (RACH) that transmits initial control messages and / or a shared channel (SCH) that transmits user traffic or control messages. For example, a logical channel located above the transmission channel and mapped to the transmission channel may include at least one of a broadcast control channel (BCCH), a paging control channel (PCCH), a common control channel (CCCH), a multicast control channel (MCCH), and / or a multicast traffic channel (MTCH).

[0059] FIG. 3 shows the structure of a wireless frame according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 3 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure, and some descriptions, functions, procedures, proposals, methods, and / or operations of the embodiments may be omitted.

[0060] Referring to FIG. 3, radio frames may be used, for example, in uplink transmission, downlink transmission, and / or device-to-device transmission. For example, a radio frame may have a length of 10 ms and may be defined as two 5 ms half-frames (HF). For example, a half-frame may contain five 1 ms subframes (SF). For example, a subframe may be divided into one or more slots, and the number of slots within a subframe may be determined by subcarrier spacing (SCS). For example, each slot may contain 12 or 14 OFDM(A) symbols according to a cyclic prefix (CP).

[0061] For example, when normal CP is used, each slot may contain 14 symbols. For example, when extended CP is used, each slot may contain 12 symbols. Here, for example, the symbols may include OFDM symbols (or CP-OFDM symbols) and SC-FDMA (single carrier-FDMA) symbols (or DFT-s-OFDM (Discrete Fourier Transform-spread-OFDM) symbols).

[0062] Table 2 below shows the number of symbols per slot (N) according to the SCS setting (u) when Normal CP or Extended CP is used. slot symb ), number of slots per frame (N frame,u slot ) and the number of slots per subframe (N subframe,u slot ) is an example.

[0063] CP Type SCS (15*2 u )N slot symb N frame,u slot N subframe,u slotNormal CP 15kHz (u=0) 1410 130kHz (u=1) 1420 260kHz (u=2) 1440 4120kHz (u=3) 1480 8240kHz (u=4) 14160 16 Extended CP 60kHz (u=2) 1240 4

[0064] For example, OFDM(A) numerology (e.g., SCS, CP length, etc.) may be configured differently among multiple cells merged into a single terminal. Accordingly, the (absolute time) interval of a time resource (e.g., subframe, slot, or TTI (transmit time interval)) composed of the same number of symbols may be configured differently among the merged cells. For example, in the present disclosure, time resources such as subframes, slots, TTI, etc. may be referred to as time units.

[0065] For example, multiple numerologies or SCSs may be supported to support various services. For example, if the SCS is 15 kHz, a wide area in traditional cellular bands may be supported, and if the SCS is 30 kHz / 60 kHz, dense-urban, lower latency, and wider carrier bandwidth may be supported. For example, if the SCS is 60 kHz or higher, a bandwidth greater than 24.25 GHz may be supported to overcome phase noise.

[0066] FIG. 4 shows a slot structure of a frame according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 4 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure, and some descriptions, functions, procedures, suggestions, methods, and / or operations of the embodiments may be omitted.

[0067] Referring to FIG. 4, for example, a slot may include multiple symbols in the time domain. For example, a carrier may include multiple subcarriers in the frequency domain. For example, a resource block (RB) may be defined as multiple consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain. For example, a bandwidth part (BWP) may be defined as multiple consecutive (P)RBs ((physical) resource blocks) in the frequency domain and may correspond to a single numerology (e.g., SCS, CP length, etc.). For example, a carrier may include up to N BWPs (where N is a positive integer). For example, data communication may be performed through an active BWP. For example, each element may be referred to as a resource element (RE) in a resource grid and may be mapped to a single complex symbol.

[0068] For example, a BWP can be a continuous set of PRBs in a given numerology. For example, a PRB can be selected from a continuous subset of common resource blocks (CRBs) for a given numerology on a given carrier.

[0069] For example, the BWP may be at least one of an active BWP, an initial BWP, and / or a default BWP. For example, the terminal may not monitor downlink radio link quality on DL BWPs other than the active DL BWP on the PCell (primary cell). For example, the terminal may not receive PDCCH (physical downlink control channel), PDSCH (physical downlink shared channel), or CSI-RS (channel state information-reference signal) (except for RRM (radio resource management)) outside of the active DL BWP. For example, the terminal may not trigger CSI (channel state information) reporting for an inactive DL BWP. For example, the terminal may not transmit PUCCH (physical uplink control channel) or PUSCH (physical uplink shared channel) outside of the active UL (uplink) BWP. For example, for the downlink, the initial BWP can be given as a consecutive set of resource blocks (RBs) for the remaining minimum system information (RMSI) CORESET (control resource set) (set by the physical broadcast channel (PBCH)). For example, for the uplink, the initial BWP can be given by the system information block (SIB) for the random access procedure. For example, the default BWP can be set by the upper layer. For example, the initial value of the default BWP can be the initial DL BWP.For energy saving, if the terminal fails to detect DCI (downlink control information) for a certain period, the terminal can switch the active BWP of the terminal to the default BWP.

[0070] FIG. 5 illustrates an example of a BWP according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 5 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure, and some descriptions, functions, procedures, proposals, methods, and / or operations of the embodiments may be omitted. In the embodiment of FIG. 5, it is assumed that there are three BWPs.

[0071] Referring to FIG. 5, for example, a common resource block (CRB) may be a numbered carrier resource block from one end of the carrier band to the other, and a PRB may be a numbered resource block within each BWP. For example, point A may indicate a common reference point for the resource block grid.

[0072] For example, BWP is point A, offset from point A (N start BWP ) and bandwidth (N size BWP It can be set by ). For example, point A may be an external reference point of the PRB of a carrier where the subcarrier 0 of all numerologies (e.g., all numerologies supported by the network in that carrier) are aligned. For example, offset may be the PRB interval between the lowest subcarrier in a given numerology and point A. For example, bandwidth may be the number of PRBs in a given numerology.

[0073] FIG. 6 illustrates a communication structure that can be provided in a 6G system according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 6 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure, and some descriptions, functions, procedures, proposals, methods, and / or operations of said embodiments may be omitted.

[0074] As core implementation technologies for 6G systems, technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), THz (Terahertz) communication, optical wireless technology, free space optical transmission (FSO) backhaul networks, large-scale MIMO (multiple input multiple output) technology, blockchain, 3D networking, quantum communication, unmanned aerial vehicles, cell-free communication, wireless information and energy transfer (WIET), integration of sensing and communication, integration of access backhaul networks, holographic beamforming, big data analysis, and large intelligent surface (LIS) can be adopted.

[0075] - Artificial Intelligence: Introducing AI into communications can streamline and enhance real-time data transmission. AI can determine how complex target tasks are performed using numerous analyses. For example, AI can increase efficiency and reduce processing latency. Time-consuming tasks such as handover, network selection, and resource scheduling can be performed instantly using AI. AI can also play a significant role in M2M, machine-to-human, and human-to-machine communication. Furthermore, AI can enable rapid communication in Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI). AI-based communication systems can be supported by metamaterials, intelligent structures, intelligent networks, intelligent devices, intelligent cognitive radios, self-sustaining wireless networks, and machine learning.

[0076] - THz Communication: Data transmission rates can be increased by expanding bandwidth. This can be achieved by using sub-THz communication with wide bandwidth and applying advanced large-scale MIMO technology. THz waves, also known as sub-millimeter radiation, generally refer to a frequency band between 0.1 THz and 10 THz with corresponding wavelengths ranging from 0.03 mm to 3 mm. The 100 GHz-300 GHz band range (Sub-THz band) is considered the primary portion of the THz band for cellular communication. Adding the Sub-THz band to the mmWave band increases 6G cellular communication capacity. Among the defined THz bands, the 300 GHz-3 THz band is located in the far-infrared (IR) frequency band. Although the 300 GHz-3 THz band is part of the optical band, it lies at the boundary of the optical band and immediately following the RF band. Therefore, this 300 GHz-3 THz band exhibits similarities to RF. Key characteristics of THz communication include (i) widely available bandwidth to support very high data transmission rates, and (ii) high path loss occurring at high frequencies (highly directional antennas are indispensable). The narrow beam width generated by highly directional antennas reduces interference. The small wavelength of THz signals allows a much larger number of antenna elements to be integrated into devices and BSs operating in this band. This enables the use of advanced adaptive array technologies that can overcome range limitations.

[0090] - Advanced Air Mobility (AAM): AAM can be a broad concept encompassing Urban Air Mobility (UAM), Regional Air Mobility (RAM), and Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS). For example, AAM may include UAM, RAM, UAS, and UAVs (uncrewed aerial vehicles).

[0091] - Autonomous driving (self-driving): V2X (vehicle to everything), a core element of building autonomous driving infrastructure, refers to technologies that enable vehicles to communicate and share with various elements on the road to perform autonomous driving, such as wireless communication between vehicles (vehicle to vehicle, V2V) and between vehicles and infrastructure (vehicle to infrastructure, V2I).

[0092] - Non-terrestrial Network (NTN): An NTN may refer to a network or network segment that utilizes RF (radio frequency) resources mounted on a satellite (or UAS platform). The use of NTN services may be considered to secure wider coverage or to provide wireless communication services in locations where the installation of wireless communication base stations is difficult.

[0093] - Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC): Wireless sensing is a technology that uses radio frequencies to determine the instantaneous linear velocity, angle, distance (range), etc., of an object, thereby obtaining information about the characteristics of the environment and / or objects within the environment.

[0094] - Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS): An RIS can be used to manipulate and enhance signal propagation in a wireless communication environment. For example, an RIS can be composed of many small antennas or metasurfaces arranged on a surface, each of which can actively control the phase, amplitude, polarization, etc., of the reflected signal. For instance, an RIS can improve signal reception by controlling the path, phase, and / or strength of the propagating signal. For instance, power consumption can be very low because power is consumed only for controlling the phase and amplitude of the small antennas. For instance, since an RIS can be reconfigured to suit various environments, it can meet diverse communication requirements and operate effectively in dynamic network environments.

[0095] FIG. 7 illustrates an example of a communication scenario based on a 6G system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 7 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure, and some descriptions, functions, procedures, proposals, methods, and / or operations of the embodiments may be omitted.

[0096] Referring to FIG. 7, NTN communication can be performed based on a satellite network, HIBS (high-altitude platform stations (HAPS) as international mobile telecommunications (IMT) base stations (BS)), and an aeronautical communication-capable terminal (e.g., AAM). For example, to improve coverage, devices such as a satellite network, HIBS, and an aeronautical communication-capable terminal (e.g., AAM) can act as relays. For example, an AAM can communicate with a base station, a satellite network, etc., and / or an AAM can communicate directly with a terminal, another AAM, etc.

[0097] For example, a terminal can obtain information about the characteristics of the environment and / or objects within the environment by using radio frequency sensing to determine the instantaneous linear velocity, angle, distance (range), etc. of an object. Since radio frequency sensing capabilities do not require connecting to an object via a device within the network, they can provide services for object location determination without a device. The ability to obtain range, velocity, and angle information from radio frequency signals can provide a wide range of new functions, such as various object detection, object recognition (e.g., vehicles, humans, animals, UAVs), and high-precision localization, tracking, and activity recognition. Radio sensing services can provide information to various industries (e.g., unmanned aerial vehicles, smart homes, V2X, factories, railways, public safety, etc.) that enable applications such as intruder detection, assisted vehicle steering and navigation, trajectory tracking, collision avoidance, traffic management, and health and traffic management. In some cases, radio sensing may use non-3GPP type sensors (e.g., radar, cameras) to further support 3GPP-based sensing. For example, the operation of a wireless sensing service, e.g., sensing operation, may depend on the transmission, reflection, and scattering processing of wireless sensing signals. Therefore, wireless sensing can provide an opportunity to enhance existing communication systems from communication networks into wireless communication and sensing networks.

[0098] FIG. 8 illustrates an example of a sensing operation according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 8 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure, and some descriptions, functions, procedures, suggestions, methods, and / or operations of the embodiments may be omitted. Specifically, FIG. 8 (a) illustrates an example of sensing using a sensing receiver and a sensing transmitter located at the same location (e.g., monostatic sensing), and FIG. 8 (b) illustrates an example of sensing using a separated sensing receiver and a sensing transmitter (e.g., bistatic sensing).

[0099] Referring to FIG. 8, a sensing transmitter may transmit a sensing signal for sensing one or more objects (and / or the environment surrounding the objects). For example, the sensing signal may be a radio (frequency) signal defined to be transmittable by a base station / terminal. For example, a sensing receiver may receive a signal that is scattered or reflected by one or more objects (and / or the environment surrounding the objects) from the sensing signal transmitted by the sensing transmitter. For example, at the sensing receiver, sensing data may be derived from the scattered or reflected signal, and a sensing result may be generated or obtained through processing of the sensing data. Here, for example, the sensing result may include characteristic information (e.g., location, distance, speed, angle, etc.) about one or more objects (and / or the environment surrounding the objects). For example, the sensing results generated / acquired in this way may be utilized for wireless sensing services (e.g., detection, tracking of objects and / or environments, etc.) or provided / disclosed to a trusted third party.

[0100] For example, a sensing transmitter may be a base station or terminal that transmits a sensing signal to be used for the operation of a sensing service, and the sensing transmitter may be located at the same base station or terminal as the sensing receiver or at a different base station or terminal. For example, a sensing receiver may be a base station or terminal that receives a sensing signal to be used for the operation of a sensing service, and the sensing receiver may be located at the same base station or terminal as the sensing transmitter or at a different base station or terminal. For example, a sensing target may be an object to be detected by deriving the characteristics of an object within the environment from the sensing signal. For example, a background environment may be a background that is not a sensing target (e.g., clutter, environmental objects, etc.). For example, an environment object may be an object whose location is known other than that of a sensing target. For example, monostatic sensing may be a sensing in which the sensing transmitter and the sensing receiver coexist at the same base station or terminal. For example, bistatic sensing may be sensing where the sensing transmitter and the sensing receiver are located at different base stations or terminals. For example, multistatic sensing may be sensing where there are multiple sensing transmitters and / or multiple sensing receivers for a (single) sensing target. For example, monostatic sensing, bistatic sensing, and / or multistatic sensing may be distinguished based on the angle between the sensing transmitter, the sensing target, and the sensing receiver. For example, if the angle between the sensing transmitter, the sensing target, and the sensing receiver is below or equal to a threshold, it may be defined as monostatic sensing or semi-monostatic sensing. For example, if the angle between the sensing transmitter, the sensing target, and the sensing receiver is above or equal to a threshold, it may be defined as bistatic sensing or multistatic sensing.For example, the terminal can transmit a sensing signal over a wireless interface that can be used for sensing purposes. For example, the terminal can transmit a sensing signal over a 3GPP wireless interface that can be used for sensing purposes.

[0101] Meanwhile, in conventional communications (e.g., NR Uu or NR sidelink), the sensing procedure of a device (e.g., terminal or base station) was not considered a service. However, since the primary purpose of an ISAC service is to rapidly detect and distinguish a target object (e.g., target object) through sensing, the sensing procedure (or operation) needs to be classified as a service that must satisfy a QoS requirement (e.g., sensing latency: the time required for a terminal triggering the sensing procedure to receive the sensing result of the target object from a receiving terminal, sensing accuracy, etc.). For example, in ISAC, the sensing operation of a device (e.g., terminal, base station, or SMF (sensing management function)) can be considered a service that must satisfy the QoS requirement related to ISAC sensing, and the terminal can perform a sensing operation based on the corresponding sensing QoS (e.g., transmitting a sensing RS and / or receiving a sensing RS).

[0102] For example, in ISAC, sensing can be considered a higher-tier service that must satisfy sensing result-based sensing QoS (or sensing quality), and a new QoS for ISAC sensing services (e.g., Sensing QoS Flow ID, SQFI) can be defined as follows. For example, SQFI can be set to a value from 1 to 8. For example, SQFI can be distinguished according to the level of sensing QoS requirements (e.g., sensing accuracy, sensing latency: the delay bound from triggering sensing until receiving the sensing result, sensing priority: e.g., a priority that can be used to determine which sensing service is triggered first based on priority when multiple sensing procedures are required). For example, a smaller SQFI value can be defined as a sensing service with tighter QoS requirements (e.g., a sensing service requiring high sensing accuracy or a sensing service requiring low / lower / lowest sensing latency). For example, a sensing service with a larger SQFI value can be defined as having tighter QoS requirements (e.g., a sensing service requiring high sensing accuracy or a sensing service requiring low / lower / lowest sensing latency).

[0103] Additionally, in ISAC, terminal and TRP (or base station) operations for supporting sensing services such as detection, localization, and tracking may be defined. For example, the sensing QoS for ISAC services (detection, localization, tracking, etc.) may be as follows.

[0104] - Detection QoS: Detection probability, False alarm probability

[0105] - Location Finding QoS: Finding the location of static objects. Location Finding QoS parameters (time delay, angle of reach)

[0106] - Tracking QoS: Tracks changes in the state (distance, angle, speed, etc.) of moving objects (e.g., vehicles or drones).

[0107] For example, support scenarios for sensing services in ISAC may be as follows.

[0108] FIG. 9 illustrates an example of six sensing scenarios for a sensing service according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 9 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure, and some descriptions, functions, procedures, suggestions, methods, and / or operations of the embodiments may be omitted.

[0109] Referring to Fig. 9, for example, six sensing scenarios for a sensing service in ISAC may be as follows.

[0110] For example, six principal sensing modes:

[0111] - gNB monostatic (the same gNB performs both the transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx)

[0112] - gNB bi-static (one gNB is the transmitter (Tx) and the other gNB is the receiver (Rx)

[0113] - gNB-to-UE bi-static (gNB is the transmitter (Tx) and UE is the receiver (Rx)

[0114] - UE-to-gNB bi-static (UE is the transmitter (Tx) and gNB is the receiver (Rx)

[0115] - UE Monostatic (The same UE performs both the transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx)

[0116] - UE bi-static (One UE is the transmitter (Tx) and the other UE is the receiver (Rx)

[0117] Meanwhile, conventional NR systems support CP (control plane) and UP (user plane) for the transmission of communication service-related data, thereby providing data delivery services (e.g., NAS messages, RRC messages, user data messages). For example, in an NR system, CP is used for RRC and NAS signaling, and UP is used as a transmission path for user data. However, in 6G, AI-based decision results generated by terminals, environmental awareness data, and real-time sensing data in milliseconds have small and high-frequency transmission characteristics, making efficient transmission difficult with general UP processing. Therefore, there is a need to propose a method for efficiently transmitting 6G services / data and a device that supports it.

[0118] FIG. 10 illustrates a QoS model for a communication service according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 10 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure, and some descriptions, functions, procedures, proposals, methods, and / or operations of the embodiments may be omitted.

[0119] The embodiment of FIG. 10 may represent a QoS model (e.g., QoS flow to DRB mapping) for supporting communication services (e.g., uplink transmission, downlink transmission, uplink reception, downlink reception) in a conventional 5G system. For example, as in the embodiment of FIG. 10, a user plane function (UPF), which is an entity of the core network, can map service data flows (e.g., Video, VoIP, Best Effort, etc.) received from a data network (DN) to (each) QoS flows. For example, the UPF can organize one or more QoS flows into a single PDU session. For example, a gNB (or the SDAP of the gNB) can map the QoS flows for service data received from the UPF to a DRB. In this case, for example, the gNB (or the SDAP of the gNB) can map one QoS flow to one DRB or map multiple QoS flows to one DRB.

[0151] - 3rd party entity: A server device operated by a sensing service operator (a business operator that uses / operates sensing data for a sensing service).

[0180] FIG. 11 illustrates a functional framework for AI / ML (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 11 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure, and some descriptions, functions, procedures, proposals, methods, and / or operations of said embodiment may be omitted.

[0181] Referring to FIG. 11, for example, data collection may be a function that provides input data to model training and model inference functions. AI / ML algorithm-specific data preparation (e.g., data pre-processing and cleaning, formatting, and transformation) may not be performed in the data collection function. Examples of input data may include measurements from terminals or other network entities, feedback from actors, and outputs from AI / ML models.

[0182] For example, training data may be data required as input for the training function of an AI / ML model.

[0183] For example, inference data may be data required as input for the inference function of an AI / ML model.

[0184] For example, model training may be a function that performs ML model training, validation, and testing to generate model performance metrics as part of the model testing procedure. If necessary, the model training function may also be responsible for data preparation (e.g., data pre-processing and cleaning, formatting, and transformation) based on training data provided by the data collection function.

[0185] For example, model deployment / update can be used to initially deploy trained, validated, and tested AI / ML models to the model inference function, or to provide updated models to the model inference function.

[0186] For example, model inference can be a function that provides AI / ML model inference outputs (e.g., predictions or decisions). Where applicable, the model inference function can provide model performance feedback to the model training function. If necessary, the model inference function can also handle data preparation (e.g., data pre-processing and cleaning, formatting, and transformation) based on the inference data provided by the data collection function.

[0187] For example, the output may be the inference output of an AI / ML model generated by the model inference function. Note that the details of the inference output may vary depending on the use case.

[0188] For example, model performance feedback can be used to monitor the performance of AI / ML models.

[0189] For example, an actor can be a function that receives output from a model inference function and triggers or performs the corresponding action. An actor can trigger actions on other entities or on itself.

[0190] For example, feedback may be information that is necessary to derive training or inference data or performance feedback.

[0191] For example, in datasets used in AI / ML, the definitions of training, validation, and test data can be as follows. For instance, training data may be a dataset for training a model. For instance, validation data may be a dataset for validating a model that has already been trained. For instance, validation data is typically used to prevent overfitting of the training dataset. For instance, validation data may be a dataset for selecting the best model among several models trained during the learning process. Therefore, this can be viewed as a type of training. For instance, test data may be a dataset for final evaluation, and test data may be unrelated to training. For instance, regarding the above datasets, if the training set is divided, the training and validation data within the entire training set can typically be split in a ratio of approximately 8:2 or 7:3; if tests are included, the ratio can be split as 6:2:2 (training:validation:test).

[0192] For example, in the present disclosure, "specific threshold" may mean a threshold that is predefined or (pre-)set by an upper layer (including the application layer) of a network, base station, or terminal. For example, in the present disclosure, "specific set value" may mean a value that is predefined or (pre-)set by an upper layer (including the application layer) of a network, base station, or terminal. For example, in the present disclosure, "set by the network / base station" may mean an action in which a base station sets to a UE (pre-) through upper layer RRC signaling, sets / signals to a UE through MAC CE, or signals to a UE through DCI.

[0193] For example, in the present disclosure, a message may be interpreted as being replaced by at least one of a control message, a data message, a signal, a data signal, and / or a control signal.

[0194] In the following description, various names are exemplary and may be considered to perform the same or similar functions (regardless of their names) based on the content described in each step.

[0195] For example, in this disclosure, various names are exemplary and may be replaced or considered as other names performing the same or similar functions based on the content described in each step (regardless of the name).

[0196] For example, related technology: NR BWP allocation behavior

[0197] For example, in related technologies, the concept of a bandwidth part (BWP) has been introduced in NR (new radio), a 5th generation (5G) mobile communication system, to utilize wide-bandwidth frequencies more flexibly and efficiently. For instance, a BWP defines a specific subband within a single frequency band and limits the resources actually used by the terminal to a portion of this subband. This reduces the reception processing burden and power consumption of the terminal, while simultaneously enabling flexible resource control based on service characteristics. For instance, in an NR system, multiple BWPs can be pre-configured at the RRC layer for a single terminal (UE), and one of them can be activated at a specific time to perform actual transmission and reception. For instance, after establishing an RRC connection, the terminal can initiate communication via an initial BWP by default, and subsequently switch to another BWP depending on transmission requirements or network policies.

[0198] For example, BWP conversion can be broadly composed of four types.

[0199] For example, first, the BWP ID can be specified and switched through the DCI (downlink control information) within the PDCCH transmitted from the base station (e.g., gNB).

[0200] For example, secondly, it can be indicated through the MAC CE (MAC control element), which is a MAC layer control message.

[0201] For example, third, it can return to the initial BWP as the preset timer expires.

[0202] For example, fourth, forced switching can be performed via an RRC message.

[0203] For example, each BWP may have independent subcarrier spacing, CORESET (control resource set), search space, and PDSCH / PUSCH settings, and these settings can determine the range of control channel areas and data channel resources that the terminal can receive. For example, BWPs can be configured in various forms according to different service requirements, such as eMBB, URLLC, and mMTC. However, for example, conventional BWP operations are primarily based on static RRC settings, and there may be limitations in dynamic BWP configuration and switching that reflect real-time environments or user contexts, such as the terminal's sensing conditions, traffic characteristics, mobility, location, and power status. Furthermore, existing BWP control methods may be difficult to adequately respond to 6G application scenarios with complex requirements, such as AI / ML-based traffic prediction or communication-sensing integration (ISAC) environments.

[0204] For example, a method for dynamic resource allocation operation based on a multidimensional resource profile in 6G communication can be proposed.

[0205] For example, in a 6G communication environment, flexible and intelligent management of wireless resources may be required depending on various applications and terminal conditions. For instance, existing BWP switching methods may mostly rely on static (e.g., selecting from a pre-configured set of BWP settings) or semi-static settings and may fail to reflect real-time changing communication requirements or environmental information (e.g., changes in the sensing environment for sensing in ISAC). In particular, to support 6G services such as ISAC and AI / ML-based predictive communication, resource configuration methods that reflect multidimensional situational information (e.g., sensing resolution, data traffic type, terminal mobility or target sensing area mobility or target object mobility, network load, power constraints, environmental / location information, AI / ML data characteristics, etc.) may be required. Furthermore, new requirements, such as ISAC and AI / ML-based control, may demand more dynamic and real-time resource control. For example, in 6G, environments where heterogeneous services such as ISAC, AI / ML-based communication, high-speed mobility, high-resolution sensing, ultra-low latency communication, and low-power IoT coexist may become common, and in such complex situations, resource optimization may be difficult with a fixed BWP structure. Therefore, resource profiling that comprehensively considers multiple domains, such as time, space, power, and service type, as well as the frequency of resources, may be necessary.

[0206] The present disclosure may aim to provide a technology that can efficiently request / allocate wireless resources by reflecting the resource requirement characteristics of communication / sensing / AI / ML-based services in a 6G communication environment.

[0207] Specifically, while existing QoS (quality of service) profiles consider only data transmission quality, the present disclosure can solve the following problems by introducing the concept of a wireless resource profile to integrally manage multidimensional resource elements such as frequency, time, spatial, and power.

[0208] 1. Limitations of QoS-based DRX / BSR

[0209] Conventional DRX configuration or BSR procedures are mapped only based on QoS profiles, so it may be difficult to adequately reflect the multidimensional resource requirements (e.g., beam direction, frequency band, power level, etc.) of sensing (e.g., ISAC) or AI / ML-based services.

[0210] 2. Lack of reflection of dynamic resource requirements

[0211] In ISAC, AI, ML, and autonomous driving, frequency, space, and power resources change in real time depending on the situation, but existing procedures may not have a structure to reflect this dynamic resource requirement information.

[0212] 3. Absence of Profile ID Mapping

[0213] Currently, BSRs in 3GPP standards (e.g., based on LCG (logical channel group)) cannot include identifiers mapped to resource profiles, so it may be difficult for a terminal to explicitly request a specific resource configuration it requires (e.g., a specific frequency / beam direction / time slot).

[0214] Accordingly, the present disclosure may have as a technical objective a method for realizing profile-based resource mapping in a resource request procedure by having a terminal (e.g., a first device) acquire information related to mapping associated with a wireless resource profile and transmit a resource request message including an identifier based thereon.

[0215] Accordingly, in the present disclosure, a resource configuration profile can be generated by combining multidimensional (e.g., frequency, time, space, power, service type, etc.) resource elements according to the characteristics of a service (e.g., ISAC, AI / ML-based communication, low-power IoT, etc.) in a 6G network environment, and an operation in which the network dynamically allocates resources based on this can be proposed.

[0216] For example, proposed) multidimensional profile-based dynamic resource allocation

[0217] For example, Table 3 below shows an example of a multi-dimensional resource profile proposed in the present disclosure. For example, as in the example, multi-domain profile-based mapping resources may be pre-configured or dynamically assigned to a terminal. For example, the (multi-domain) resource profile disclosed in Table 3 may be mapped to a service identifier (e.g., a sensing service identifier). The embodiments of Table 3 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure, and some descriptions, functions, procedures, proposals, methods, and / or operations among the embodiments may be omitted. For example, parameters included in resource domains and related descriptions are merely examples and are not limited thereto. For example, some of the parameters included in resource domains and related descriptions may be omitted.

[0218] Resource Domain Description Example Frequency Usage Bandwidth, Number of Subcarriers, SCS 20MHz, 60kHz Spacing Time Number of Symbols, Number of Slots, Timing Priority - Use only 0~3 of 14 symbols (e.g., for sensing purposes). - Or use only 4~6 of 14 symbols (e.g., for communication purposes). - Or use 0~3 of 14 symbols (e.g., for sensing purposes) and 4~6 (e.g., for communication purposes). For example, if a profile is created that supports both sensing and communication services, time resources for performing sensing (e.g., symbols or slots) and time resources for communication (symbols or slots) can be separated and configured into time axes. For example, both sensing and communication can be performed using temporally separated resources. Space, beam direction, antenna resources, specific direction beamforming, or MIMO layer. Power: Tx power limit (e.g., maximum transmit power). Low-power IoT UEs have maximum Tx limits. Service (or QoS): Purpose - URLLC, eMBB, sensing, communication, etc.; Latency requirements; Sensing requirements; Etc.: Sensing priority or communication data burst only; Response within 20ms; Sensing requirements: Sensing measurement distance of 1m or less; Location, speed, service history. Movement speed: 120km / h, 60km / h, 30km / h. Location: Cell center location, cell edge location, etc.

[0219] For example, a dynamic resource allocation operation procedure based on a multidimensional resource profile

[0220] For example, 1) collecting terminal status or service information and reporting the collected information to the network

[0221] For example, the terminal can collect terminal status (e.g., location, speed, etc.) or service (or service QoS) information (e.g., power mode: low-power mode or high-performance mode, service QoS requirements, traffic pattern information, etc.) and report it to the network (e.g., base station or core network entity, etc.).

[0222] For example, to enable the network (e.g., a base station or core network entity, etc.) to dynamically allocate multidimensional profile-based resources, the terminal may transmit the following auxiliary information to the network.

[0223] For example, 2) Creating a multidimensional resource profile

[0224] For example, a multidimensional resource combination can be configured based on reporting information from a network terminal. For example, if the network supports an AI / ML function capable of deriving results based on AI / ML model training / model inference, a multidimensional resource profile can be created / configured using the input-based AI / ML transmitted by the UE in process 1).

[0225] For example, the network can configure the following multidimensional resource file for an autonomous driving UE-A (for example, UE-A can report UE-A status and service information to the network through process 1).

[0226] For example: to the "Autonomous Driving UE-A",

[0227] - For example, 100 MHz, symbols 1–4, 60 kHz SCS, 25 dBm Tx, forward beam

[0228] - For example, resource profile registration and assignment

[0229] And, for example, multidimensional resource profiles can be managed, created, or configured by a “multidimensional resource profile identifier.” Additionally, for example, when allocating resources to a terminal, the mapped multidimensional resource profile identifier or (multidimensional resource profile identifier + multidimensional resource profile) can be transmitted together.

[0230] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, for example, a network (e.g., a base station) may create / configure a plurality of multidimensional resource profiles based on auxiliary information received from a terminal, such as terminal status and service (or service QoS information), and transmit the created multidimensional resource profile configurations to the terminal (e.g., multidimensional resource profiles may be configured and transmitted by multidimensional resource profile identifier). For example, when a terminal requests resources from a base station for purposes such as sensing or communication, the resource request message (e.g., a scheduling request or MAC CE: e.g., a buffer status report) may include multidimensional resource profile identifier information for the requested resources. For example, the base station may dynamically allocate resources mapped to the identifiers to the terminal in real time based on the multidimensional resource profile identifiers included in the resource request message requested by the terminal.

[0231] For example, or according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a multidimensional resource profile may be configured and transmitted by service identifier (e.g., sensing service identifier). For example, when a terminal requests a resource from a base station for purposes such as sensing or communication, the resource request message (e.g., a scheduling request or MAC CE: e.g., a buffer status report) may include service identifier information for the requested resource. For example, the base station may dynamically allocate a “multidimensional resource profile mapping resource” mapped to the identifier to the terminal in real time based on the service identifier included in the resource request message requested by the terminal.

[0232] For example, 3) The created and configured multidimensional resource profile is registered by mapping it to a UE-ID or Service-ID (e.g., Sensing Service ID) or a multidimensional resource profile identifier.

[0233] For example, a network (e.g., a base station) may create / configure multiple multidimensional resource profiles based on auxiliary information received from a terminal, such as terminal status and service (or service QoS information), and transmit the created multidimensional resource profile configurations to the terminal (e.g., multidimensional resource profiles may be configured and transmitted by multidimensional resource profile identifier). For example, when a terminal requests resources from a base station for purposes such as sensing or communication, the resource request message (e.g., a scheduling request or MAC CE: e.g., a buffer status report) may include multidimensional resource profile identifier information for the requested resources. For example, the base station may dynamically allocate resources mapped to the identifier to the terminal in real time based on the multidimensional resource profile identifier included in the resource request message requested by the terminal. For example, or according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, for example, multidimensional resource profiles may be configured by service identifier (e.g., may be configured and transmitted by sensing service identifier). For example, the (multidimensional) resource profile disclosed in Table 3 can be mapped to a service identifier (e.g., a sensing service identifier). For example, when a terminal requests a resource from a base station for purposes such as sensing or communication, the resource request message (e.g., a scheduling request or MAC CE: e.g., a buffer status report) may include service identifier information for the requested resource. For example, the base station may dynamically allocate a “multidimensional resource profile mapping resource” mapped to that identifier to the terminal in real time, based on the service identifier included in the resource request message requested by the terminal.

[0234] For example, 4) Real-time tuning and updating of multidimensional resource profiles

[0235] For example, when a terminal's state changes (e.g., terminal movement, power reduction) or a service state update occurs (e.g., a change in traffic pattern), the network can update multidimensional resource profile settings based on terminal state change and service state update report information and deliver updated profile information to the terminal. For example, the network can reallocate resources based on the updated profile.

[0236] For example, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a resource (e.g., semi-persistent scheduling (SPS-based) resource allocation or configured grant-based resource allocation) can be allocated to a terminal via RRC (e.g., RRC signaling) based on a multidimensional resource profile generated by a base station based on auxiliary information such as terminal status / service QoS information, rather than a resource request-based operation allocation of the terminal. For example, when a base station allocates this resource (e.g., semi-persistent scheduling (SPS-based) resource allocation or configured grant-based resource allocation) to a terminal via RRC, the RRC message may also transmit information such as a multidimensional resource profile identifier (or a multidimensional resource profile identifier + multidimensional resource profile configuration) mapped to the allocated resource.

[0237] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, for example, a network (e.g., a base station) may create / configure a plurality of multidimensional resource profiles based on auxiliary information received from a terminal, such as terminal status and service (or service QoS information), and may map resources mapped to each profile to deliver the created multidimensional resource profile configuration and profile mapping resources to the terminal (multidimensional resource profiles may be configured and delivered by multidimensional resource profile identifier). For example, when a terminal requests resources from a base station for purposes such as sensing or communication, it may deliver a resource request message (e.g., a scheduling request or MAC CE: e.g., a buffer status report) that includes auxiliary information such as terminal status and service QoS information. For example, the base station may create a multidimensional resource profile based on the terminal status and service QoS information included in the resource request message requested by the terminal, and may dynamically allocate mapping resources based on the created profile in real time.

[0238] For example, related technology: NR BWP allocation behavior

[0239] For example, in related technologies, the concept of a bandwidth part (BWP) has been introduced in NR (new radio), a 5th generation (5G) mobile communication system, to utilize wide-bandwidth frequencies more flexibly and efficiently. For instance, a BWP defines a specific subband within a single frequency band and limits the resources actually used by the terminal to a portion of this subband. This reduces the reception processing burden and power consumption of the terminal, while simultaneously enabling flexible resource control based on service characteristics. For instance, in an NR system, multiple BWPs can be pre-configured at the RRC layer for a single terminal (UE), and one of them can be activated at a specific time to perform actual transmission and reception. For instance, after establishing an RRC connection, the terminal can initiate communication via an initial BWP by default, and subsequently switch to another BWP depending on transmission requirements or network policies.

[0240] For example, BWP conversion can be broadly composed of four types.

[0241] For example, first, the BWP ID can be specified and switched through the DCI (downlink control information) within the PDCCH transmitted from the base station (e.g., gNB).

[0242] For example, secondly, it can be indicated through the MAC CE (MAC control element), which is a MAC layer control message.

[0243] For example, third, it can return to the initial BWP as the preset timer expires.

[0244] For example, fourth, forced switching can be performed via an RRC message.

[0245] For example, each BWP may have independent subcarrier spacing, CORESET (control resource set), search space, and PDSCH / PUSCH settings, and these settings can determine the range of control channel areas and data channel resources that the terminal can receive. For example, BWPs can be configured in various forms according to different service requirements, such as eMBB, URLLC, and mMTC. However, for example, conventional BWP operations are primarily based on static RRC settings, and there may be limitations in dynamic BWP configuration and switching that reflect real-time environments or user contexts, such as the terminal's sensing conditions, traffic characteristics, mobility, location, and power status. Furthermore, existing BWP control methods may be difficult to adequately respond to 6G application scenarios with complex requirements, such as AI / ML-based traffic prediction or communication-sensing integration (ISAC) environments.

[0246] For example, a wireless resource profile allocation operation can be proposed in 6G communication.

[0247] For example, in a 6G communication environment, flexible and intelligent management of wireless resources may be required depending on various applications and terminal conditions. For instance, existing BWP switching methods mostly rely on static (e.g., selecting from a pre-configured set of BWP settings) or semi-static settings and may fail to reflect real-time changing communication requirements or environmental information (e.g., changes in the sensing environment for sensing in ISAC). In particular, to support 6G services such as ISAC and AI / ML-based predictive communication, resource configuration methods that reflect multidimensional situational information (e.g., sensing resolution, data traffic type, terminal mobility or target sensing area mobility or target object mobility in sensing, network load, power constraints, environmental / location information, AI / ML data characteristics, etc.) may be required. Furthermore, new requirements, such as ISAC and AI / ML-based control, may demand more dynamic and real-time resource control. For example, in 6G, environments where heterogeneous services such as ISAC, AI / ML-based communication, high-speed mobility, high-resolution sensing, ultra-low latency communication, and low-power IoT coexist may become common, and in such complex situations, resource optimization may be difficult with a fixed BWP structure. Therefore, resource profiling that comprehensively considers multiple domains, such as time, space, power, and service type, as well as the frequency of resources, may be necessary.

[0248] Accordingly, for example, the present disclosure may propose a method for managing a bandwidth portion (BWP) setting profile based on sensing resolution, data traffic type, terminal mobility or target sensing area mobility or target object mobility in sensing, network load, power constraints, environment / location information, AI / ML data characteristic information, etc. in a 6G network environment, and for transmitting and receiving data based on said profile.

[0249] For example, Proposal 1) Setting up a wireless resource profile based on sensing resolution

[0250] For example, a sensing resolution-based radio resource profile (or bandwidth profile) may be configured to support sensing operations (e.g., transmitting and receiving sensing signals) for ISAC in 6G communication. For example, a terminal (e.g., a sensing device) may transmit sensing resolution information of a sensing service to a base station or a sensing function to be assigned a radio resource profile for sensing operations.

[0251] For example, a base station or a sensing function may allocate and transmit to the terminal a radio resource profile per sensing resolution (including BWP configuration, SCS, power allocation, MCS and / or etc.) to support the terminal's sensing operation based on sensing resolution information received from the terminal. For example, Table 4 below may show examples of radio resource profiles per sensing resolution.

[0252] For example, the network may set / assign a radio resource profile including a wide BWP, high power allocation, and high MCS value for high-resolution sensing operations, and may set / assign a radio resource profile including a narrow BWP, low power allocation, and low MCS value for low-resolution sensing operations. The embodiments of Table 4 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure, and some descriptions, functions, procedures, suggestions, methods, and / or operations of the embodiments may be omitted.

[0253] Sensing Resolution BWP (bandwidth part) SCS (subcarrier spacing) Power Allocation MCS (modulation and coding scheme) Low Resolution 20 MHz 15 kHz Low Low Medium Resolution 50 MHz 30 kHz Medium Medium High Resolution 100 MHz 60 kHz High High

[0254] For example, the terminal can perform operations such as transmitting a sensing signal using the BWP settings and wireless communication parameters included in the wireless resource profile information allocated from the base station and the sensing function.

[0255] For example, the terminal (e.g., a sensing device) can also perform dynamic wireless resource profile switching based on the assigned wireless resource profile information when the sensing resolution is changed.

[0256] For example, (1) initial wireless resource profile setting

[0257] For example, a base station or a sensing function can set a basic wireless resource profile for communication and / or sensing operations (e.g., “default wireless resource profile for communication & sensing operation” or “default wireless resource profile for communication operation” or “default wireless resource profile for sensing operation”) in the terminal.

[0258] For example, a basic radio resource profile that can be used for both communication and sensing (or is communication-only or sensing-only) can be activated (e.g., by the base station via RRC messages, MAC CE, physical channel signals, etc.).

[0259] For example, (2) detection of changes in sensing resolution

[0260] For example, it can recognize that the sensing resolution requirements have changed in the network (e.g., base station or sensing function) or the UE (e.g., high-resolution sensing is needed).

[0261] For example, a change in sensing resolution can be detected by the following method.

[0262] - For example, detection through the UE's own sensing signal analysis (e.g., reflected wave intensity, distance change, etc.).

[0263] - For example, detection at the network level through a request for a change in sensing conditions in the network (e.g., increase in vehicle movement speed, detection of traffic changes, etc.).

[0264] - For example, detecting changes in sensing resolution in a network based on UE reporting (e.g., reports on changes in reflected wave intensity, reports on changes in distance, etc.)

[0265] For example, (3) wireless resource profile change trigger

[0266] For example, a network (e.g., a base station or a sensing function) may transmit a wireless resource profile switching command to a terminal that matches a specific sensing resolution via a physical channel signal, MAC CE, RRC signal, or NSA signal. For example, or the terminal may activate a wireless resource profile mapped to the sensing resolution associated with the corresponding sensing service when a sensing operation is triggered. For example, or the terminal may switch the wireless resource profile to the wireless resource profile mapped to the sensing resolution associated with the corresponding sensing service when a change in the sensing resolution is detected.

[0267] For example, (4) Activate a new wireless resource profile

[0268] For example, the terminal can optimize sensing and communication performance by switching to a new radio resource profile setting specified by the network (or by the terminal itself detecting a change in sensing resolution). For example, when the radio resource profile switching is completed, feedback regarding the radio resource profile change (e.g., for conformation purposes) can be transmitted to the base station through HARQ ACK / NACK or CSI reporting, etc.

[0269] For example, (5) dynamic adjustment and return

[0270] For example, a terminal or network (e.g., a base station or a sensing function) can trigger and enable a return to a communication-centric wireless resource profile when a change in sensing resolution is detected as needed. Additionally, for example, when sensing operations become unnecessary, it can return to a wireless resource profile containing a narrow BWP (or a default wireless resource profile or a communication-only wireless resource profile) to reduce power consumption.

[0271] For example, Proposal 2) Setting up wireless resource profiles based on traffic type

[0272] For example, the present disclosure may also propose the operation for setting and managing wireless resource profiles by traffic type as follows. For example, an operation may be proposed in which the network pre-sets independent wireless resource profiles according to traffic types for high-speed data transmission, traffic types for low-latency communication, traffic types capable of performing low-power mode, etc., so that the terminal can dynamically use a matching wireless resource profile according to the traffic type generated.

[0273] For example, the terminal can transmit traffic type information (e.g., low-latency communication, low-power mode communication, high-speed data transmission, large-capacity data transmission, etc.) to the network (e.g., base station) to allocate and use a wireless resource profile suitable for the generated traffic.

[0274] For example, the network may allocate and transmit to the terminal a wireless resource profile by traffic type (e.g., including BWP configuration, SCS, power allocation, MCS and / or etc.) to support the communication operation of the terminal based on traffic type information reported by the terminal. For example, Table 5 below shows examples of wireless resource profiles by traffic type. The embodiments of Table 5 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure, and some descriptions, functions, procedures, proposals, methods, and / or operations of the embodiments may be omitted.

[0275] Traffic Type BWP (bandwidth part) SCS (subcarrier spacing) Power Allocation MCS (modulation and coding scheme) Low-power mode communication (e.g., IoT sensors) 20 MHz 15 kHz Low Low Low-latency communication (e.g., URLLC) 50 MHz 30 kHz Medium Medium High-speed / high-capacity data transmission (e.g., sensing data, AI / ML data, VR / AR / XR data) 100 MHz 60 kHz High High

[0276] For example, the network can set and assign a wireless resource profile including a wide BWP and high MCS for high-speed / high-capacity data transmission, and the network can set and assign a wireless resource profile including a narrow BWP and low power parameters for low-power mode communication. For example, for low-latency communication, a wireless resource profile including parameters such as a narrow or wide BWP and low SCS can also be set and assigned.

[0277] For example, when the traffic type for communication is changed, the terminal can perform a dynamic wireless resource profile switching operation similar to Proposal 1 based on the allocated wireless resource profile information.

[0278] For example, Proposal 3) Mobility-based wireless resource profile setting

[0279] For example, the present disclosure may also propose a wireless resource profile setting and management operation based on the mobility of a terminal (or a target sensing area or target object when performing sensing) as follows. For example, an operation may be proposed in which the network pre-sets independent wireless resource profiles according to attributes such as a stationary state, low-speed movement, and high-speed movement, thereby enabling the dynamic use of matching wireless resource profiles based on the mobility type of the terminal (or a target sensing area or target object when performing sensing).

[0280] For example, a terminal can transmit mobility information (e.g., information on stationary state, low-speed movement, high-speed movement, or actual speed) to a network (e.g., a base station) to allocate and use a suitable wireless resource profile based on mobility.

[0281] For example, the network may allocate and transmit to the terminal a wireless resource profile by mobility type (e.g., including BWP configuration, SCS, power allocation, MCS and / or etc.) to support the terminal's communication and / or sensing operations based on mobility status information reported by the terminal. For example, Table 6 below may show examples of wireless resource profiles by mobility type. The embodiments of Table 6 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure, and some descriptions, functions, procedures, proposals, methods, and / or operations of the embodiments may be omitted.

[0282] Mobility BWP (bandwidth part) SCS (subcarrier spacing) Power Allocation MCS (modulation and coding scheme) Stationary 20 MHz 15 kHz Low Low Low speed movement (e.g., Pedestrian, < 30 km / h) 50 MHz 30 kHz Medium Medium High speed movement (e.g., Vehicular, > 100 km / h) 100 MHz 60 kHz High High

[0283] For example, the network may set up and allocate a radio resource profile including a wide BWP, a large SCS, a high power allocation, and a small MCS for a high-speed mobile terminal (or a high-speed mobile TSA or a high-speed mobile target object), and the network may set up and allocate a radio resource profile including a narrow BWP, a small SCS, a low / medium power allocation, and a medium / high MCS value for a low-speed mobile terminal (or a low-speed mobile TSA or a low-speed mobile target object).

[0284] For example, when the type of mobility attribute for communication (or sensing) is changed, the terminal can perform a dynamic wireless resource profile switching operation similar to Proposal 1 based on the assigned wireless resource profile information.

[0285] For example, Proposal 4) Congestion level-based wireless resource profile setting

[0286] In addition, the present disclosure may propose an operation of setting different wireless resource profiles according to, for example, the level of congestion of wireless resources. For example, an operation may be proposed in which a network pre-sets independent wireless resource profiles according to the level of congestion of wireless resources, etc., so that a terminal can dynamically use a matching wireless resource profile for each level of congestion.

[0287] For example, a terminal can transmit congestion level information (e.g., high congestion, medium congestion, low congestion information) to a network (e.g., a base station) to allocate and use a suitable wireless resource profile based on the congestion level.

[0288] For example, the network may allocate and deliver to the terminal a radio resource profile by mobility type (including BWP configuration, SCS, power allocation, MCS and / or etc.) to support the terminal's communication and / or sensing operations based on congestion level information reported by the terminal.

[0289] For example, the network can set up and assign a wireless resource profile containing a narrow BWP for a high congestion level, and a wireless resource profile containing a wide BWP for a low congestion level.

[0290] For example, when the wireless resource congestion level for communication (or sensing) changes, the terminal can perform a dynamic wireless resource profile switching operation similar to Proposal 1 based on the allocated wireless resource profile information.

[0291] For example, Proposal 5) Wireless resource profile setting based on power constraints (e.g., low power mode or high performance mode).

[0292] In addition, the present disclosure may propose an operation of setting different wireless resource profiles according to, for example, the power constraint mode of a terminal. For example, an operation may be proposed in which the network pre-sets independent wireless resource profiles according to the power constraint mode of the terminal (e.g., low power mode or high performance mode) so that the terminal can dynamically use a matching wireless resource profile for each power constraint mode.

[0293] For example, a terminal can transmit its power constraint information (e.g., low power mode or high performance mode) to a network (e.g., base station) to allocate and use a suitable wireless resource profile based on power constraint mode.

[0294] For example, the network may allocate and transmit to the terminal a wireless resource profile per power constraint mode (e.g., including BWP configuration, SCS, power allocation, MCS and / or etc.) to support the terminal's communication and / or sensing operations based on power constraint mode information reported by the terminal.

[0295] For example, the network can set up and allocate a wireless resource profile including a narrow BWP and low power allocation for a low power mode, and a wireless resource profile including a wide BWP and high power allocation for a high performance mode.

[0296] For example, when the power constraint mode for communication (or sensing) is changed, the terminal can perform a dynamic wireless resource profile switching operation similar to Proposal 1 based on the allocated wireless resource profile information.

[0297] For example, Proposal 6) Environment (e.g., urban or rural) / location-based wireless resource profile setting

[0298] In addition, the present disclosure may propose an operation of setting different wireless resource profiles depending on the surrounding environment of a terminal's location, for example. For example, an operation may be proposed in which a network pre-sets independent wireless resource profiles based on the terminal's location and environment (e.g., urban or rural) so that the terminal can dynamically use a location / environment matching wireless resource profile based on location / environment information.

[0299] For example, a terminal may transmit its location information (e.g., absolute location information or relative location information) and / or environment information (e.g., urban or rural) to a network (e.g., base station) to allocate and use an appropriate wireless resource profile based on environment / location.

[0300] For example, the network may allocate and transmit to the terminal an environment / location-specific wireless resource profile (e.g., including beam forming information, frequency band, BWP configuration, SCS, power allocation, MCS and / or etc.) to support the terminal's communication and / or sensing operations based on environment / location information reported by the terminal.

[0301] For example, the network can set and assign a radio resource profile including beam-related parameters for beamforming enhancement and high-frequency band BWPs for building-dense areas such as urban centers, and the network can set and assign a radio resource profile including transmission parameters capable of supporting wide coverage and low-frequency band BWPs for areas such as rural areas that are not building-dense areas.

[0302] For example, when the environment / location for communication (or sensing) changes, the terminal can perform a dynamic wireless resource profile switching operation similar to Proposal 1 based on the allocated wireless resource profile information.

[0303] In the present disclosure, a sensing signal may be interpreted as having the same meaning as a sensing reference signal.

[0304] In the present disclosure, sensing data may be interpreted as having the same meaning as sensing measurement data or sensing measurement report.

[0305] The embodiments of the present disclosure may be extended to all of the above six sensing scenarios. The embodiments of the present disclosure may be applicable to all of the above six sensing scenarios.

[0306] The methods proposed in this disclosure can be applied to both 3GPP sensing data and non-3GPP sensing data.

[0307] For example, in the present disclosure, sensing data may be data derived by a sensing radio measurement entity based on radio signals (e.g., reflected, refracted, diffracted) affected by an object or environment of interest for the purpose of sensing. For example, this data may be raw measurements and may optionally be further processed within the sensing radio measurement entity. For example, the sensing data may include at least one of 3GPP sensing data or non-3GPP sensing data.

[0308] For example, in the present disclosure, 3GPP sensing data is data obtained from 3GPP radio signals that have been affected (e.g., reflected, refracted, diffracted) by an object or environment of interest for the purpose of sensing, and may optionally be processed within a 5G system.

[0309] For example, in the present disclosure, non-3GPP sensing data may be data provided by a non-3GPP sensor (e.g., video, LiDAR, sonar) regarding an object or environment of interest for the purpose of sensing.

[0310] For example, in the present disclosure, 5G / 6G radio sensing may be a 5GS / 6GS function that provides a function to acquire information about the characteristics of an environment and / or objects within the environment (e.g., shape, size, orientation, speed, location, distance, relative movement between objects, etc.) using NR radio frequency signals, and may, in some cases, be extended by information generated through a previously defined function in the EPC and / or E-UTRAN.

[0311] For example, in the present disclosure, sensing auxiliary information may be information provided to a 5G system from a trusted third party and may be used to support the derivation of sensing results. This information may not include 3GPP sensing data. For example, examples of sensing auxiliary information may include map information, location information, a UE identifier (ID) attached to or located near a sensing target, UE location information, UE velocity information, etc.

[0312] For example, in the present disclosure, sensing context information may be information that a 5G / 6G system exposes to a trusted third party along with the sensing results, and may provide context regarding the conditions under which the sensing results were derived. This information may not include 3GPP sensing data. For example, examples of sensing context information may include map information, location information, time of capture, UE location, and ID. This context information may be required in scenarios where the sensing results need to be combined with data from other sources outside of 5GS.

[0313] For example, in the present disclosure, a sensing group may be a set of sensing transmitters and sensing receivers whose locations are known and capable of synchronously collecting sensing data.

[0314] For example, in the present disclosure, a sensing receiver may be an entity that receives a sensing signal used by a sensing service in operation. The sensing receiver may be a RAN node or part of a UE. The sensing receiver may be located in the same entity as the sensing transmitter or in a different entity.

[0316] For example, in the present disclosure, a sensing signal may be a transmission signal on a 3GPP radio interface that can be used for sensing purposes. For example, this definition may refer to NR radio frequency signals and, in some cases, may be extended to information generated from existing functions of the EPC and / or E-UTRAN.

[0318] For example, the target sensing service area may be an orthogonal coordinate location area that satisfies a specific sensing service quality and is to be sensed by deriving the characteristics of the environment and / or objects within the environment from 3GPP radio signals that have been affected (e.g., reflected, refracted, diffracted). This may include both indoor and outdoor environments.

[0407] According to the present disclosure, the following effects can be obtained.

[0408] 1. Support for profile-based resource requests

[0409] By including an identifier when a terminal requests a resource based on resource profile mapping, the base station can quickly identify and allocate the resource configuration (frequency / time / space) corresponding to the profile ID. This enables the realization of a profile framework for resource allocation separate from the QoS profile.

[0410] 2. Improvement of multidimensional resource management efficiency

[0411] Since profile items are configured along frequency, time, and spatial axes, multidimensional resource mapping and management can be performed based on service characteristics (e.g., sensing resolution, traffic patterns, beam direction, etc.).

[0412] 3. Real-time dynamic update possible

[0413] Since resource profiles can be updated in real time based on auxiliary information or traffic information periodically reported by terminals, the network can flexibly respond to changes in conditions (e.g., switching of sensing mode, increase in traffic).

[0414] 4. Maintaining Standard Procedure Compatibility

[0415] Resource request messages can be implemented in any form of SR, MAC CE, or BSR, allowing for new extensions while maintaining compatibility with existing MAC procedures.

[0416] 5. Preventing QoS Confusion and Ensuring Scalability

[0417] By clearly defining the concept of a wireless resource profile independent of QoS profiles, the present disclosure can prevent structural confusion with existing QoS-based procedures and can be flexibly applied to future resource control extensions for ISAC / AI / ML services.

[0434] FIG. 16 illustrates a signal processing circuit for a transmission signal according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 16 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure, and some descriptions, functions, procedures, suggestions, methods, and / or operations of the embodiments may be omitted.

[0435] Referring to FIG. 16, the signal processing circuit (1000) may include a scrambler (1010), a modulator (1020), a layer mapper (1030), a precoder (1040), a resource mapper (1050), and a signal generator (1060). Although not limited thereto, the operation / function of FIG. 16 may be performed in the processor (102, 202) and / or transceiver (106, 206) of FIG. 15. The hardware elements of FIG. 16 may be implemented in the processor (102, 202) and / or transceiver (106, 206) of FIG. 15. For example, blocks 1010 through 1060 may be implemented in the processor (102, 202) of FIG. 15. Additionally, blocks 1010 to 1050 may be implemented in the processor (102, 202) of FIG. 15, and block 1060 may be implemented in the transceiver (106, 206) of FIG. 15.

[0436] The codeword can be converted into a wireless signal through the signal processing circuit (1000) of FIG. 16. Here, the codeword is an encoded bit sequence of an information block. The information block may include a transmission block (e.g., UL-SCH transmission block, DL-SCH transmission block). The wireless signal can be transmitted through various physical channels (e.g., PUSCH, PDSCH).

[0437] Specifically, a codeword can be converted into a scrambled bit sequence by a scrambler (1010). The scrambled sequence used for scrambling is generated based on an initialization value, which may include ID information of a wireless device, etc. The scrambled bit sequence can be modulated into a modulation symbol sequence by a modulator (1020). The modulation method may include pi / 2-BPSK (pi / 2-Binary Phase Shift Keying), m-PSK (m-Phase Shift Keying), m-QAM (m-Quadrature Amplitude Modulation), etc. The complex modulation symbol sequence can be mapped to one or more transmission layers by a layer mapper (1030). The modulation symbols of each transmission layer can be mapped to the corresponding antenna port(s) by a precoder (1040) (precoding). The output z of the precoder (1040) can be obtained by multiplying the output y of the layer mapper (1030) by an N*M precoding matrix W. Here, N is the number of antenna ports and M is the number of transmission layers. Here, the precoder (1040) can perform precoding after performing transform precoding (e.g., DFT transform) on the complex modulation symbols. Additionally, the precoder (1040) can perform precoding without performing transform precoding.

[0438] A resource mapper (1050) can map the modulation symbols of each antenna port to a time-frequency resource. The time-frequency resource may include multiple symbols (e.g., CP-OFDMA symbols, DFT-s-OFDMA symbols) in the time domain and multiple subcarriers in the frequency domain. A signal generator (1060) generates a radio signal from the mapped modulation symbols, and the generated radio signal can be transmitted to another device through each antenna. To this end, the signal generator (1060) may include an Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) module, a Cyclic Prefix (CP) inserter, a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC), a frequency uplink converter, etc.

[0439] The signal processing process for a received signal in a wireless device can be configured as the inverse of the signal processing process (1010–1060) of FIG. 16. For example, a wireless device (e.g., 100, 200 in FIG. 15) can receive a wireless signal from the outside through an antenna port / transceiver. The received wireless signal can be converted into a baseband signal through a signal restorer. To this end, the signal restorer may include a frequency downlink converter, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a CP remover, and a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) module. Subsequently, the baseband signal can be restored into a codeword through a resource de-mapper process, a postcoding process, a demodulation process, and a de-scrambling process. The codeword can be restored into the original information block through decoding. Accordingly, a signal processing circuit (not shown) for a received signal may include a signal restorer, a resource de-mapper, a postcoder, a demodulator, a de-scrambler, and a decoder.
