[0002] This disclosure is based on and claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 2025104862551, filed on April 17, 2025, entitled “Wireless Sensing Processing Method, Electronic Device and Computer Program Product”, and incorporates the entire contents of that patent application by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and more specifically, to a wireless sensing processing method, electronic device, and computer program product. Background Technology

[0004] For sensing modes where the base station (BS) transmits and the user equipment (UE) receives, and the UE transmits and the BS receives, phase synchronization between the BS and the UE is the primary issue to be addressed. For moving target detection, the Doppler domain needs to be used to separate the target from clutter. If the phases are not aligned, the phase changes between symbols will not only be caused by Doppler but also by random phase introduced during handover at the transmitter. Furthermore, a more serious problem is that if the terminal is moving, it will be difficult to extract moving targets, even if the UE and BS are phase aligned. The UE's radial Doppler differs in different directions, so even using the base station's phase alignment cannot eliminate the phase change along the connection between the terminal and the target, making it impossible to extract moving targets using Doppler information. Besides the phase issue, there is also the problem of unknown UE location, which necessitates additional UE positioning procedures, leading to additional resource overhead. For sensing modes where the BS transmits and the UE receives, and the UE transmits and the BS receives, implementation requires coordination between the BS and the UE, and the problem of unknown UE location persists. Summary of the Invention

[0020] The embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0021] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and drawings of this disclosure are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0022] The method embodiments provided in this disclosure can be executed in a mobile terminal, computer terminal, or similar computing device. Taking running on a mobile terminal as an example, FIG1 is a schematic diagram of the hardware structure of a mobile terminal running in the method embodiments of this disclosure. As shown in FIG1, the mobile terminal may include one or more (only one is shown in FIG1) processors 102 (processor 102 may include, but is not limited to, processing devices such as microprocessors MCUs or programmable logic devices FPGAs) and a memory 104 for storing data. The mobile terminal may also include a transmission device 106 for communication functions and an input / output device 108. Those skilled in the art will understand that the structure shown in FIG1 is only illustrative and does not limit the structure of the mobile terminal. For example, the mobile terminal may also include more or fewer components than shown in FIG1, or have a different configuration than shown in FIG1.

[0023] The memory 104 can be used to store computer programs, such as application software programs and modules, like the computer program corresponding to the wireless sensing processing method in this embodiment. The processor 102 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the computer program stored in the memory 104, thereby implementing the above-described method. The memory 104 may include high-speed random access memory and may also include non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic storage devices, flash memory, or other non-volatile solid-state memory. In some instances, the memory 104 may further include memory remotely located relative to the processor 102, and these remote memories can be connected to the mobile terminal via a network. Examples of such networks include, but are not limited to, the Internet, corporate intranets, local area networks, mobile communication networks, and combinations thereof.

[0024] The transmission device 106 is used to receive or send data via a network. Specific examples of the network described above may include a wireless network provided by the mobile terminal's communication provider. In one example, the transmission device 106 includes a Network Interface Controller (NIC), which can connect to other network devices via a base station to communicate with the Internet. In another example, the transmission device 106 may be a Radio Frequency (RF) module used for wireless communication with the Internet.

[0025] This embodiment provides a wireless sensing processing method operating on the aforementioned mobile terminal or network architecture. Figure 2 is a flowchart of the wireless sensing processing method according to an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 2, the method is applied to the sensing function entity SF, and the process includes the following steps:

[0026] Step S202: Obtain the signal configuration and resource configuration of the reference signal used by the serving base station of the terminal;

[0027] Step S204: Send a measurement request to the serving base station or terminal, wherein the measurement request includes a perception-related measurement request and a positioning-related measurement request;

[0028] Step S206: Receive the measurement results of the reference signal fed back by the serving base station or terminal based on the signal configuration and resource configuration, wherein the measurement results include sensing measurement results and positioning measurement results, or the measurement results include sensing measurement results obtained based on the positioning measurement results.

[0029] Through the above embodiments of this disclosure, the signal configuration and resource configuration of the reference signal used by the serving base station of the terminal are obtained; a measurement request is sent to the serving base station or the terminal, wherein the measurement request includes a perception-related measurement request and a positioning-related measurement request; the measurement result of the reference signal fed back by the serving base station or the terminal based on the signal configuration and the resource configuration is received, wherein the measurement result includes a perception measurement result and a positioning measurement result, or the measurement result includes a perception measurement result obtained based on the positioning measurement result. This can solve the problem in related technologies where the perception mode of BS transmitting and UE receiving and UE transmitting and BS receiving requires coordination between BS and UE, and there is a problem of unknown UE location. The relevant configuration of the positioning and perception reference signal used by the base station is determined, and positioning and perception measurements are performed simultaneously based on the relevant configuration. In the mode of BS transmitting and UE receiving or UE transmitting and BS receiving, the correct UE location can be obtained, accurate perception can be performed, and the true location of the perception target can be obtained.

[0030] By coordinating signal configuration and resource allocation between the serving base station and the terminal through a Sensor Function Entity (SF), precise sensing and positioning of the terminal and its surrounding environment are achieved. Specifically, the SF first acquires the detailed configuration of the reference signal used by the serving base station, including but not limited to the signal frequency, timing, and sequence design; this information is the basis for accurate measurements. Subsequently, the SF sends a measurement request containing sensing and positioning requirements to the serving base station or the terminal, prompting them to perform corresponding measurement tasks based on the known signal configuration. The received measurement results can be used to directly acquire sensing and positioning data, or, through further data processing, to deduce sensing information, such as the presence of objects and their direction of movement, from the positioning data. This scheme efficiently utilizes existing wireless communication resources, reduces additional hardware requirements, improves the real-time performance and accuracy of sensing and positioning, and solves the inefficiencies caused by low resource utilization and the separation of sensing and positioning in traditional methods.

[0031] In this embodiment of the disclosure, step S202 may include: sending a reference signal configuration request to the serving base station, wherein the reference signal configuration request carries a recommended signal configuration and resource configuration; and receiving a reference signal configuration response sent by the serving base station, wherein the reference signal configuration response carries the signal configuration and resource configuration adopted by the serving base station. By sending a request containing the recommended configuration to the serving base station, the SF can guide the base station to optimize the configuration of the reference signal to adapt to specific sensing and positioning needs. This recommendation may be based on historical data, environmental conditions, or expected characteristics of the sensing target, such as the size, material, and speed of the object. After receiving the request, the serving base station will consider the SF's suggestion and return its final determined signal configuration and resource allocation scheme, ensuring the optimization of the sensing and positioning process.

[0032] In one embodiment, the method further includes: sending the signal configuration and resource configuration adopted by the serving base station to the terminal; or, the serving base station sends the adopted signal configuration and resource configuration to the terminal. Ensuring that the terminal understands the signal configuration and resource allocation details of the serving base station is crucial for performing effective measurements. The SF or serving base station conveys this information to the terminal, enabling the terminal to accurately perform measurement tasks, such as adjusting antenna orientation and received power thresholds. This step enhances the collaborative work between components within the system, ensures the quality of sensing and positioning data, and thus improves the overall network efficiency. For example, in the application scenario of autonomous vehicles, the vehicle, as the terminal, can receive the latest signal configuration from the base station in a timely manner, thereby more accurately perceiving the surrounding environment and improving driving safety.

[0033] In one embodiment, the method further includes: sending auxiliary information, the signal configuration and resource configuration adopted by the serving base station to the terminal together; or sending auxiliary information to the terminal after sending the signal configuration and resource configuration adopted by the serving base station, wherein the auxiliary information includes at least one of the following: signal configuration information, environmental clutter, environmental NLOS (non-line-of-sight propagation), environmental map, base station location information, and positioning spatial range information. The provision of auxiliary information further enhances the terminal's perception and positioning capabilities. For example, environmental clutter and NLOS information can help the terminal estimate the degree of interference in signal propagation and adjust measurement strategies to reduce errors; environmental maps and base station location information help the terminal understand its geographical location, thereby more accurately locating itself and surrounding objects. The transmission of this information not only improves the accuracy of perception and positioning but also increases the robustness of the system, enabling it to operate stably in complex and changing environments.

[0034] Furthermore, the reference signal configuration request includes configuration information for indicating the sensing reference signal, wherein the configuration information includes at least one of the following: time-frequency resource location, desired or minimum required time-frequency resources, sequence type, and sequence parameters.

[0035] In one embodiment, the method further includes: sending an activation request to a serving base station, the activation request instructing the serving base station to activate the terminal to send a reference signal; and receiving an activation response from the serving base station after activating the terminal. The introduction of the activation request makes the activation of sensing and positioning functions more controllable. When the terminal needs to start sending a reference signal for sensing or positioning, the SF or serving base station can initiate this process by sending an activation request, and the terminal will start sending signals upon receiving the activation response. This mechanism avoids unnecessary signal transmission, saves energy, reduces signal interference in the network, and improves overall communication quality. This precise control capability is particularly important in scenarios such as IoT device management and drone flight monitoring, ensuring that sensing and positioning can be quickly activated when needed and stopped promptly when not needed, thereby achieving efficient resource utilization.

[0036] In this embodiment of the disclosure, step S204 may specifically include: sending a simultaneous positioning and sensing measurement request message, a positioning measurement request message, or a sensing measurement request message to a serving base station or terminal. The diverse design of the measurement requests allows SF to flexibly select the measurement type according to different application scenarios. Simultaneous positioning and sensing requests are suitable for scenarios requiring simultaneous acquisition of location information and environmental perception data, such as monitoring vehicle location and road conditions in intelligent transportation systems; separate positioning or sensing requests are suitable for situations with more specific needs, such as security monitoring systems that only need to track personnel location, or robot navigation systems focused on obstacle detection. This flexibility greatly broadens the application scope of the technical solution, enabling it to adapt to a wide range of needs, from industrial automation to personal health monitoring.

[0037] In one embodiment, the method further includes: collecting Transmission and Reception Point (TRP) information, wherein the TRP information includes at least one of the following: configuration and pre-configuration information, TRP time information, and effective area information for positioning and sensing.

[0038] The collection of TRP (Transmission and Reception Target) information helps optimize signal transmission and reception strategies. Configuration and pre-configuration information ensures that TRPs can be prepared in advance, improving response speed; timing information helps the system accurately schedule signal transmission and reception, avoiding conflicts; effective area information clarifies the signal's effective range, helping to assess the coverage of sensing and positioning. The comprehensive use of this information enables wireless sensing processing methods to better adapt to dynamically changing environments, such as moving vehicles and rapidly changing weather conditions, thereby achieving more stable and wider sensing and positioning services.

[0039] In one embodiment, the method further includes collecting the terminal's positioning and sensing capabilities information. Collecting terminal capability information is a prerequisite for realizing personalized services. Different terminals may have different positioning and sensing capabilities, such as sensor type, processing speed, and energy consumption characteristics. Understanding this information allows SF to customize the most suitable signal configuration and resource allocation scheme for each terminal, ensuring that all terminals can perform optimally within their capabilities. This is particularly important for large-scale IoT deployments because different types of devices (such as smart home devices, industrial sensors, and medical devices) may require different sensing and positioning accuracies. Personalized configuration can meet diverse device needs and improve the overall system's operational efficiency.

[0040] Furthermore, the positioning and sensing capability information includes at least one of the following: supported sensing modes, supported terminal roles, sensing information processing capabilities, supported sensing measurement / reporting data types, sensing target identification capabilities, perceptible target types, supported positioning / sensing accuracy, and supported positioning / sensing methods.

[0041] The positioning and sensing capabilities of a terminal encompass all aspects of its functionalities, from sensing modes (such as radar, cameras, and sonar) to terminal roles (such as mobile terminals and fixed base stations), and further to specific processing capabilities and data type support. This comprehensive understanding of information enables the system to intelligently match terminals with tasks, such as selecting terminals with high-precision positioning capabilities for accurate location tracking, or utilizing devices with powerful image recognition capabilities for object detection. This intelligent matching not only improves the efficiency of sensing and positioning but also reduces error rates, ensuring service quality, especially in fields with high accuracy requirements such as smart cities and remote medical monitoring.

[0042] In one embodiment, the method further includes: sending a motion information request to a terminal and receiving a motion information response from the terminal, wherein the motion information response includes motion information from the terminal; or receiving motion information sent by the terminal.

[0043] Acquiring terminal motion information is crucial for perception and localization in dynamic environments. By collecting motion parameters such as speed, direction, and acceleration of the terminal periodically or through event-driven methods, the system can adjust signal configuration in real time to cope with changes in the terminal's position. For example, in autonomous driving scenarios, sudden acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle can affect its perception of the surrounding environment; timely updates to motion information ensure the accuracy of perception signals and the continuity of localization. Furthermore, motion information helps predict the future state of the terminal and plan signal transmission paths in advance, further improving the efficiency of perception and localization.

[0044] Furthermore, the motion information includes at least one of the following: an indication of whether the terminal is moving, an indication of whether the terminal is moving stably, differential or non-differential position information, scalar velocity or vector velocity.

[0045] The specific form of motion information determines the sensing and localization strategies. For example, scalar velocity information can be used to estimate the terminal's energy consumption, while vector velocity reveals the terminal's direction of movement, which is crucial for predicting its future position. Differential position information reflects the terminal's position change relative to the previous moment, while non-differential position information is the terminal's absolute position. This differentiated use of information allows the system to flexibly adjust according to the actual situation, such as prioritizing vector velocity information in high-speed moving scenarios and relying more on differential position information in static or low-speed scenarios. This refined management strategy ensures that sensing and localization functions maintain maximum efficiency in both rapidly changing and relatively stable environments.

[0046] In this embodiment of the disclosure, step S206 may specifically include: receiving downlink measurement results fed back by the terminal based on signal configuration and resource configuration, wherein the downlink measurement results are sensing and / or positioning measurement results; and receiving uplink measurement results fed back by the serving base station based on signal configuration and resource configuration, wherein the uplink measurement results are sensing and / or positioning measurement results. Receiving uplink and downlink measurement results is a crucial step in achieving bidirectional sensing and positioning. Downlink measurement results are typically generated by the terminal based on received base station signals, reflecting the propagation characteristics from the terminal to the base station; while uplink measurement results are derived by the base station based on received terminal signals, providing sensing and positioning data from the base station's perspective. By comparing and fusing these two results, the system can correct deviations in signal propagation and improve the accuracy of sensing and positioning. For example, in an indoor positioning system, uplink measurement results may be affected by the building structure, while downlink measurement results may be clearer. Through comprehensive analysis, the limitations of single-direction measurement can be overcome, achieving more accurate positioning.

[0047] In one embodiment, the method further includes determining sensing results and / or positioning results based on downlink and / or uplink measurement results. Data processing based on uplink and downlink measurement results is the core of achieving sensing and positioning. The system extracts sensing information (such as the shape, material, and trajectory of an object) and positioning data (such as the precise coordinates of a terminal) by processing the measurement results using algorithms. This processing not only relies on advanced signal processing techniques, such as multipath signal separation, noise suppression, and feature point recognition, but also requires powerful data analysis capabilities to quickly and accurately extract the required information from massive amounts of measurement data. For example, in a material tracking system in a smart factory, the system must be able to distinguish the signal characteristics of specific materials from complex machine signals to achieve real-time tracking of materials. This precise data processing capability ensures the high performance of sensing and positioning functions, meeting the stringent requirements of modern industrial automation for accuracy and real-time performance.

[0048] Furthermore, the measurement request carries at least one of the following: location information indicator requirements, perception information indicator requirements, location periodic reporting parameters, perception periodic reporting parameters, event-triggered reporting, location velocity change threshold, velocity change threshold, location measurement indication, and perception measurement indication.

[0049] The parameter settings for measurement requests directly impact the execution method and data quality of sensing and positioning. The indicator requirements for positioning and sensing information define the accuracy and range of the measurements, guiding the selection of signal configurations. Periodic reporting parameters and event-triggered reporting mechanisms ensure the timeliness and relevance of data, such as immediately reporting location information in emergencies or periodically updating environmental sensing data. Properly setting these parameters allows the system to effectively manage network resources while ensuring data quality, avoiding unnecessary data transmission and processing burdens—a crucial aspect, especially in resource-constrained IoT devices.

[0050] Furthermore, the measurement results include at least one of the following: localization and sensing results, localization and sensing measurements, preliminary localization and sensing data, and raw localization and sensing data.

[0051] Measurement results take various forms, from preliminary data to processed results, each carrying different informational value. Preliminary and raw data from positioning and sensing provide the most direct signal measurement information, forming the basis for subsequent data processing and analysis; while positioning and sensing results are advanced information processed by the system and can be directly used for decision-making and applications. This multi-layered presentation of results satisfies researchers' need for basic data while also facilitating end-users' direct access to useful information. For example, in intelligent transportation systems, researchers may need raw data for model training and algorithm optimization, while traffic management departments are more concerned with processed positioning results for real-time monitoring and scheduling of traffic flow.

[0052] The reference signal in this embodiment is a reference signal that is at least partially used for both positioning and sensing. Multiplexing the reference signal is key to achieving integrated sensing and positioning. By designing a signal that can be used for both positioning and sensing, the system can perform both tasks simultaneously without increasing signal transmission. This design not only saves valuable spectrum resources but also simplifies network architecture and reduces equipment costs. For example, in the collaborative operation of a drone swarm, the same set of reference signals can be used to simultaneously locate each drone and sense its surroundings, ensuring precise synchronization and safe flight among the drones, demonstrating the significant advantages of the technical solution in resource optimization and functional integration.

[0053] This disclosure provides an uplink simultaneous positioning and sensing (SPAS) process, in which participating nodes include SF, BS, and UE, wherein there can be one or more BSs, at least one of which performs positioning and sensing simultaneously. Figure 3 is a flowchart (I) of a terminal-participated wireless sensing processing method according to an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 3, the specific process includes:

[0054] S301, the SF sends a SPAS reference signal request to the BS. The requested SPAS reference signal is a reference signal that is at least partially used for both localization and sensing. The request may include a recommended SPAS signal configuration and resource configuration. This recommendation may originate from the SF itself, or further from the BS or UE.

[0055] S302, BS sends a SPAS reference signal response to SF, which can protect the final SPAS signal configuration and resource configuration.

[0056] S303, the SF sends the SPAS reference signal configuration to the UE (S303a), or the BS sends the SPAS reference signal configuration to the UE (S303b).

[0057] S304. If necessary, the BS may request the auxiliary information required by the SPAS from the SF.

[0058] S305, if necessary, SF feeds back the required auxiliary information to BS. This auxiliary information includes SPAS signal configuration information. It may also include information such as environmental clutter, environmental NLOS, or environmental maps.

[0059] S306, SF sends an activation request to BS, and after receiving it, BS sends an activation message to UE to activate the SPAS reference signal.

[0060] S307, BS sends a SPAS activation response back to SF.

[0061] S308, SF sends a SPAS measurement request to BS.

[0062] S309, BS feeds back the SPAS measurement results to SF.

[0063] Through the above steps, the shared signaling information for positioning and sensing reduces signaling overhead and is easier to manage; the shared sensing reference signal for positioning and sensing reduces air interface overhead and improves spectrum utilization.

[0064] This embodiment provides a downlink SPAS procedure, in which participating nodes include SF, BS, and UE, wherein there can be one or more BS, at least one of which performs localization and sensing simultaneously. Figure 4 is a flowchart (II) of a terminal-participated wireless sensing processing method according to an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 4, the specific process includes:

[0065] In step S401, the SF sends a SPAS reference signal request to the BS. The requested SPAS reference signal is a reference signal that is at least partially used for both localization and sensing. The request may include a recommended SPAS signal configuration and resource configuration. This recommendation may originate from the SF itself, or further from the BS or UE.

[0066] S402, BS sends a SPAS reference signal response to SF, which can protect the final SPAS signal configuration and resource configuration.

[0067] S403, if necessary, the UE may request the auxiliary information required by SPAS from the SF.

[0068] In S404, the SF feeds back the necessary auxiliary information, including SPAS signal configuration and resource configuration, to the UE. This auxiliary information includes SPAS signal configuration information. It may also include information such as environmental clutter, environmental NLOS (Non-Line-of-Sight) data, or environmental maps.

[0069] S405, SF sends a SPAS measurement request to UE.

[0070] S406, the UE sends the SPAS measurement results back to the SF.

[0071] Through the above steps, the shared signaling information for positioning and sensing reduces signaling overhead and is easier to manage; the shared sensing reference signal for positioning and sensing reduces air interface overhead and improves spectrum utilization.

[0072] This embodiment provides a motion information request and reporting process, which serves as a pre-process for the simultaneous location sensing (SPAS) process to ensure that the UE's motion state meets the needs of the SPAS or sensing task. Figure 5 is a flowchart (III) of the wireless sensing processing method involving the terminal according to an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 5, the specific process includes:

[0073] In step S501, the SF sends a motion information request to the UE, which can be included in a UE capability request. This request can be a single or non-periodic report to obtain UE motion information once. It can also be a periodic report to continuously obtain UE motion information. The request can also be conditionally triggered, such as reporting when the UE begins or stops moving, or when the UE begins stable or unstable movement.

[0074] In step S502, the UE sends a motion information response to the SF, which includes motion-related information about the UE. Step S502 may not depend on step S501; that is, the UE can directly send a motion information response to the SF. The motion information response in step S502 includes:

[0075] Indicator of UE movement. Moving UEs do not participate in moving target sensing. Functions include: when establishing a sensing task, the base station needs to know whether the sensing UE is moving to decide whether to proceed with the moving target sensing task; when executing a sensing task, after the sensing UE shows movement, it feeds back to the base station, and the base station stops scheduling this UE for sensing.

[0076] Indicator of UE stability. A stable UE can be used to create a synthetic aperture or virtual aperture. Stable motion can be uniform linear motion, constant velocity motion, or linear motion. Its functions include: when establishing a sensing task, the base station needs to know whether the sensing UE is moving to decide whether to proceed with the target sensing task; when executing a sensing task, after the sensing UE shows movement, it feeds back to the base station, and the base station stops scheduling this UE for sensing.

[0077] Differential or non-differential location information is used to determine the UE's motion state. The base station inherently needs to know the UE's location to perform UE-compliant sensing. If the UE exhibits minute movements, it may be unable to distinguish between location estimation errors and genuine minute movements. However, this method suffers from positioning accuracy issues; there's a possibility that the positioning result may fluctuate even when the UE hasn't moved.

[0078] The scalar or vector velocity of the UE. Compensation can be applied to the UE's velocity to eliminate phase changes caused by UE motion. Besides the UE's own motion information, the angle of the target relative to the terminal is also needed to calculate the projected velocity. Therefore, this approach is very difficult to implement.

[0079] The first two types of motion information responses require the UE to determine whether it is moving or stable, which can be based on sensor or carrier phase positioning (carrier phase from multiple stations). If it's during the sensing task phase, the energy of the zero-frequency signal can be used to determine if accurate phase alignment has been achieved. If it's during the establishment of a sensing task phase, the base station can also send at least two reference signals to measure the phase alignment between the zero-frequency energy or the reference signals (at least three non-uniform measurements to prevent ambiguity). Feedback can be in the sensing report or the positioning report. For the latter, an optional displacementFlag / DopplerFlag can be added to the Sensor Location Information Elements or other IEs to determine whether motion has occurred.

[0080] This embodiment provides a SPAS process for uplink positioning (such as (Time of Arrival, UL-TODA), (Angle of Arrival, UL-AOA)) and uplink sensing (UE transmits to base station receives). Figure 6 is a flowchart (IV) of a wireless sensing processing method involving the terminal according to an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 6, it includes:

[0081] The S600's SF / LMF (Location Management Function) can collect TRP information required for the SPAS process, including Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) related information such as configuration, pre-configuration, and status; TRP timing information; and effective area information for location and sensing. SF / LMF represents a network element with sensing and / or location capabilities.

[0082] S601, SF / LMF can collect UE positioning and sensing capability information, including supported positioning and sensing methods, bandwidth, and power. In addition, it can also include UE motion-related information. If the UE can maintain stable stillness, it can be used for moving target sensing. If the UE can maintain stable motion, it can be used for synthetic large aperture environmental sensing.

[0083] S602, the SF / LMF sends a UL SPAS information request message to the serving gNB to request the UL information of the target UE, such as SPAS reference signal (which may be UL-SRS) configuration information.

[0084] S603, the serving gNB determines the resources available for the uplink UL SPAS reference signal and configures the UE's UL SPAS reference signal.

[0085] S604, the service gNB provides UL SPAS information to the base station.

[0086] In S605, for semi-persistent or aperiodic UL SPAS, the SF / LMF can send a UL SPAS activation request message (S505a) to the serving gNB to request activation of the UE. The serving gNB sends a UL SPAS activation message to the UE (S505b) to activate UL SPAS reference signal transmission and sends an activation response message (S505c) to the SF / LMF. The UE transmits UL SPAS reference signals according to the SPAS reference signal configuration.

[0087] In step S606, the SF / LMF sends a SPAS measurement request message, a location measurement request message, or a sensing measurement request message to the selected gNBs participating in the SPAS procedure. This message contains the necessary information to enable these gNBs to perform UL measurements, such as sending UL SPAS configuration or other necessary auxiliary information to neighboring gNBs. Since the location and sensing topologies can be different, the SF / LMF can selectively send location and sensing measurement requests to different gNBs. When both location and sensing measurement requests are needed, a single SPAS request can be sent to save signaling overhead. For example, for single-site sensing, the SF / LMF can send a SPAS measurement request to the serving gNB and a location measurement request to neighboring gNBs.

[0088] S607, gNB measures the UL SPAS reference signal emitted by the UE.

[0089] S608, gNB feeds back the requested measurement to SF / LMF. This measurement can be the result of sensing or localization, such as point cloud, or an intermediate measurement value between sensing or localization and sensing. It can be an estimate of a parameter, such as time delay / distance estimation, angle estimation, Doppler / velocity estimation, RCS estimation, or channel estimation, including raw channel information, time delay spectrum, angle spectrum, Doppler spectrum, etc.

[0090] S609, SF / LMF sends a SPAS activation message to the serving gNB.

[0091] This embodiment provides a SPAS process for downlink positioning (such as DL-TODA, DL-AOD) and downlink sensing (base station transmits, UE receives). Figure 7 is a flowchart (V) of the wireless sensing processing method involving the terminal according to an embodiment of this disclosure, as shown in Figure 7, including:

[0092] The S700 SF / LMF can collect TRP information required for the SPAS process, including SRS-related information such as configuration, pre-configuration, and status, TRP timing information, and effective area information for positioning and sensing. SF / LMF represents a network element with sensing and / or positioning capabilities.

[0093] The S701, SF / LMF can collect UE positioning and sensing capability information, including supported positioning and sensing methods, bandwidth, and power. Additionally, it can include motion-related information about the UE. If the UE can maintain stable stillness, it can be used for moving target sensing. If the UE can maintain stable motion, it can be used for synthetic large-aperture environmental sensing.

[0094] S702, the SF / LMF sends a DL SPAS reference signal configuration request to the gNB. This configuration request may include configurations recommended by the SF / LMF, gNB, or UE.

[0095] S703, gNB sends a DL SPAS reference signal configuration response to SF / LMF, which may contain the configuration determined by gBN.

[0096] In S704, the SF / LMF sends a Assistance Information message to the UE. This message can be initiated proactively or requested by the UE. This message contains the necessary information to enable the UE to perform DL measurements, such as DL SPAS signal configuration and resource configuration.

[0097] S705, SF / LMF sends a DL SPAS measurement request message to UE.

[0098] S706, the UE measures the DL SPAS reference signal emitted by the TRP. In some special scenarios, such as non-terrestrial networks (NTN), it is also possible to measure the DL SPAS reference signal emitted by the same TRP at different times.

[0099] S707, the UE feeds back the requested measurement to the SF / LMF. This measurement can be the result of sensing or localization, such as point cloud, or an intermediate measurement value between sensing or localization and sensing. It can be an estimate of a parameter, such as delay / distance estimation, angle estimation, Doppler / velocity estimation, RCS estimation, or channel estimation, including raw channel information, delay spectrum, angle spectrum, Doppler spectrum, etc.

[0100] This embodiment provides a scenario with a relatively complex SPAS process, applicable to specific combinations of at least one positioning method among uplink positioning (e.g., UL-TODA, UL-AOA), downlink positioning (e.g., DL-TODA, DL-AOD), and uplink / downlink positioning (e.g., Multi-RTT, single RTT+AoA / AoD), and at least one sensing method among uplink sensing (UE transmits, base station receives) and downlink sensing (base station transmits, UE receives). These combinations are constrained to include at least one uplink service and one downlink service simultaneously, or at least uplink / downlink positioning. Some possible combinations are as follows;

[0101] Uplink and downlink positioning + uplink sensing;

[0102] Uplink and downlink positioning + downlink sensing;

[0103] Downlink positioning + uplink sensing;

[0104] Uplink positioning + downlink sensing;

[0105] Uplink and downlink positioning + uplink sensing + downlink sensing;

[0106] Uplink positioning + downlink positioning + uplink sensing + downlink sensing;

[0107] In this embodiment, the SPAS of UL and DL can be replaced by positioning or sensing. This replacement only needs to satisfy the aforementioned combination constraint that the final combination of positioning and sensing can satisfy the final combination constraint. Figure 8 is a flowchart (six) of a wireless sensing processing method involving a terminal according to an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 8, the specific process is as follows:

[0108] The S800 SF / LMF can collect the TRP information required for the SPAS process, including SRS-related information such as configuration, pre-configuration, and status, TRP timing information, and effective area information for positioning and sensing. SF / LMF represents a network element with sensing and / or positioning capabilities.

[0109] S801, SF / LMF can collect UE positioning and sensing capability information, including supported positioning and sensing methods, bandwidth, and power. In addition, it can also include UE motion-related information. If the UE can maintain stable stillness, it can be used for moving target sensing. If the UE can maintain stable motion, it can be used for synthetic large aperture for environmental sensing.

[0110] S802, the SF / LMF sends a UL SPAS information request message to the serving gNB to request the UL information of the target UE, such as SPAS reference signal (which may be UL-SRS) configuration information.

[0111] S803, the serving gNB determines the resources available for the UL SPAS reference signal and configures the UE's UL SPAS reference signal in step 3a.

[0112] S804, the service gNB provides UL SPAS information to the base station.

[0113] In S805, for semi-persistent or aperiodic UL SPAS, the SF / LMF can send a UL SPAS activation request message (S805a) to the serving gNB to request activation of the UE. The serving gNB sends a UL SPAS activation message (S805b) to the UE to activate UL SPAS reference signal transmission and sends an activation response message (S805c) to the SF / LMF. The UE transmits UL SPAS reference signals according to the SPAS reference signal configuration.

[0114] In step S806, the SF / LMF sends a SPAS measurement request message, a location measurement request message, or a sensing request message to the selected gNBs participating in the SPAS procedure. This message contains the necessary information to enable these gNBs to perform UL measurements, such as UL SPAS configuration or other necessary auxiliary information. Since the location and sensing topologies can be different, the SF / LMF can selectively send location and sensing measurement requests to different gNBs. When both location and sensing measurement requests are needed, a single SPAS request can be sent to save signaling overhead. For example, for single-site sensing, the SF / LMF can send a SPAS measurement request to the serving gNB and a location measurement request to neighboring gNBs.

[0115] S807, the SF / LMF sends a DL SPAS reference signal configuration request to the gNB. This configuration request may include configurations recommended by the SF / LMF, gNB, or UE.

[0116] S808, gNB sends a DL SPAS reference signal configuration response to SF / LMF, which may contain the configuration determined by gBN.

[0117] In S809, the SF / LMF sends a Assistance Information message to the UE. This message can be sent proactively or requested by the UE. This message contains the necessary information to enable the UE to perform DL measurements, such as DL SPAS resource configuration.

[0118] S810, SF / LMF sends a DL SPAS measurement request message to UE.

[0119] S811a, the UE measures the DL SPAS reference signal emitted by the TRP. In some special scenarios, such as NTN, it can also measure the DL SPAS reference signal emitted by the same TRP at different times.

[0120] In step S811b, the base station configured in step S806 measures the UL SPAS reference signal emitted by the UE.

[0121] S812, the UE feeds back the requested DL SPAS measurement to the SF / LMF. This measurement can be the result of sensing or localization, such as point cloud, or an intermediate measurement value between sensing or localization and sensing. It can be an estimate of a parameter, such as delay / distance estimation, angle estimation, Doppler / velocity estimation, RCS (Radar Cross Section) estimation, or channel estimation, including raw channel information, delay spectrum, angle spectrum, Doppler spectrum, etc.

[0122] S813, gNB feeds back the requested UL SPAS measurement to SF / LMF. This measurement can be the result of sensing or localization, such as point cloud, or an intermediate measurement between sensing or localization. It can be an estimate of a parameter, such as time delay / distance estimation, angle estimation, Doppler / velocity estimation, RCS estimation, or channel estimation, including raw channel information, time delay spectrum, angle spectrum, Doppler spectrum, etc.

[0123] S814, SF / LMF sends a UL SPAS deactivation message to the service gNB.

[0124] The S815, SF / LMF determines the final sensing result based on the collected positioning and sensing measurements. It can also be used to determine the final positioning result when there is a positioning requirement.

[0125] For SPAS using the single RTT+AoA / AoD positioning method, a neighborhood gNB / TRP is not required; a single base station is sufficient to complete the SPAS process. This reduces the additional positioning overhead needed for single-site sensing.

[0126] The order of uplink SPAS and downlink SPAS signaling can be arbitrarily adjusted without affecting the technical performance. For example, the uplink SPAS signaling group S802-S806, S811b, S813, S814 and the downlink SPAS signaling group S807-S810, S811a, S812 can be interchanged or interleaved.

[0127] This embodiment describes one way of implementing the messages involved in the SPAS process.

[0128] UE capabilities include at least one of the following:

[0129] Supported sensing modes: UE transmits to BS and receives from BS, BS transmits to UE and receives from UE, UE A transmits to UE B and receives from UE, and UE transmits and receives from itself.

[0130] Supported terminal roles: sensing transmitting terminal, sensing receiving terminal, sensing management terminal;

[0131] Sensing information processing capability: Acquiring certain sensing information requires additional processing capabilities from the terminal; therefore, the terminal needs to report.

[0132] It supports the measurement / reporting of perception measurement data types, such as raw perception data, preliminary perception data, intermediate perception data, and perception results, as well as the KPIs corresponding to the perception measurement data types, such as perception business latency, etc.

[0133] The ability to identify perceived targets or the types of targets that can be perceived;

[0134] Supported positioning / sensing accuracy;

[0135] Supported localization / sensing methods;

[0136] SPAS signal configuration requests include configuration information for indicating sensing reference signals, including at least one of the following: time-frequency resource location, desired or minimum required time-frequency resources, sequence type, and sequence parameters.

[0137] SPAS auxiliary information includes at least one of the following: SPAS signal configuration information; environmental clutter, environmental NLOS or environmental map information, etc.; gNB location information; positioning spatial range information; sensing spatial range, Doppler range, RCS range, etc.

[0138] SPAS measurement requests may include:

[0139] Location / sensing information metric requirements: location / sensing estimation accuracy, sensing estimation velocity accuracy, distance resolution, velocity resolution, sensing service latency, missed detection rate, false alarm rate, etc. Among these, the location metric requirements can be implicitly indicated through the sensing metric requirements, and therefore may not be included in the metric requirements themselves.

[0140] Location / Sensing Periodic Reporting Parameters: Indication of whether periodic measurement is performed, corresponding number of reports, reporting interval / period, and reporting duration. Since location and sensing measurement methods differ, location measurement results are typically more numerous than sensing measurement results; therefore, the reporting periods for location and sensing can differ. Alternatively, multiple location measurement results can be averaged to align the reporting periods for location and sensing.

[0141] Event-triggered reporting includes: event information / type, minimum time interval between two event triggers, number of reports after triggering, and reporting interval. In addition to various sensed events, changes in the location result exceeding a specific threshold can also be used as a trigger event.

[0142] The position / velocity change threshold is used to stop the SPAS process when the position or velocity change of the positioning result exceeds the threshold.

[0143] Location / Awareness Measurement Instructions: For different UE-BS or BS-UE transceiver pairs, the measurement type can be location, awareness, or both. Therefore, downlink instructions need to instruct the UE which DL SPAS should perform which type of measurement, and uplink instructions need to instruct which BSs should perform which type of measurement.

[0144] SPAS measurement responses may include:

[0145] Localization and perception results: point cloud information, image information (range-Doppler, angle-range, angle-Doppler), target distance, velocity, type, etc.;

[0146] The measurements for positioning and sensing can be estimates of a certain parameter, such as time delay / distance estimation, angle estimation, Doppler / velocity estimation, and RCS estimation.

[0147] Preliminary positioning and sensing data: time delay spread spectrum, Doppler spectrum, micro-Doppler spectrum, angle spectrum, signal intensity spectrum, etc.

[0148] Locating and sensing raw data: received signals or raw channel information (such as complex results of received signals or channel responses, amplitude and / or phase, I-channel / Q-channel and their related calculation results).

[0149] This embodiment provides a broader SPAS procedure, which can include not only positioning and sensing, but also obtaining the UE's location through sensing. Therefore, SPAS can also obtain the UE's location through sensing, and simultaneously perform UE-to-BS or BS-to-UE sensing based on the obtained UE location. In this procedure, obtaining the UE's location still serves the sensing function for UE-to-BS or BS-to-UE sensing; therefore, in the reporting of measurement results, the final result can be reported, without reporting the intermediate result of the UE's location.

[0150] Figure 9 is a schematic diagram (I) of UE-based wireless sensing according to an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 9, the signaling configuration process is similar to that in the above embodiment, and there is no neighboring gNB. After this configuration, the base station can sense the position of the moving UE through self-transmission and self-reception, base station A transmission and B reception, or base station transmission and UE reception, and perform sensing through BS transmission and UE reception. Since the UE is moving, a large aperture can be formed by synthetic aperture or virtual aperture methods to sense the environment, such as sensing and imaging a bridge. Furthermore, the change in imaging phase can be used to detect the small deformation of the bridge.

[0151] Figure 10 is a schematic diagram (II) of UE-involved wireless sensing according to an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 10, the signaling configuration process is similar to that in the above embodiment, and there is no neighboring gNB. After this configuration, the base station can sense the location of the reference unit through self-transmission and self-reception, base station A transmission and B reception, or base station transmission and UE reception. The sensing reference unit can actively or passively reflect the sensing signal, so it can be sensed even if it is not moving. The location of the sensing reference unit is fixed, and the significance of obtaining the location of the sensing reference unit is to compare the estimated location of the sensing reference unit by the BS with the actual location of the sensing reference unit, thereby correcting the BS's position, orientation, and other engineering parameters. At the same time, sensing is performed by the BS transmitting and receiving the reference unit.
