The present application relates to the
wireless field, and specifically relates to a sensing method and a sensing apparatus. When sending a sensing
signal, a terminal may use a CPM sequence to increase the transmission power, so as to increase the coverage of the sensing
signal. However, the lower a PAPR is, the poorer the autocorrelation is, and a sequence with a poor autocorrelation may lead to a reduction in the sensing accuracy. In the embodiments of the present application, a
base station may determine, from among a plurality of CPM sequences, a CPM sequence that matches sensing parameters, so as to be adapted to different sensing scenarios. For example, with regard to a
scenario with a long sensing distance, the
base station may determine, from among the plurality of CPM sequences, a CPM sequence having a low PAPR, such that the terminal increases the sensing distance by means of increasing the transmission power of the sensing
signal; and with regard to a
scenario with a high sensing precision requirement, the
base station may determine, from among the plurality of CPM sequences, a CPM sequence having a high PAPR, and the CPM sequence having a high PAPR has good autocorrelation, such that the sensing precision of the CPM sequence can be improved.
