The invention discloses a
wireless sensing method and device, and belongs to the technical field of sensing. An AP in a WLAN transmits a
beacon frame with a first antenna and receives a
reverberation signal with a second antenna, the
reverberation signal being obtained by reflection or scattering of the
beacon frame. And then the AP performs environment
perception according to the received
echo signal. According to the method and the device, the capability that the AP can receive and send messages by itself is utilized, the
beacon frame is sent by the same AP and the
echo signal of the
beacon frame is received, and compared with the AP, the
signal receiving and sending position is always known, so that the environment sensing precision is improved, the deployment position of the AP is not limited, and the method and the device can be flexibly applied to various scenes. In addition, the
beacon frame is periodically transmitted to declare the presence of the AP. Therefore, the AP realizes
environmental perception by using the
beacon frame without additional packet sending, channel resources can be saved,
environmental perception can be completed in a normal communication process, and integration of communication and
perception is realized.
