Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in determining suitable sensing nodes for performing sensing tasks, particularly in Per-Area sensing scenarios where multiple nodes have signal coverage over the target area, but there is no clear method to select the most appropriate node for delivering sensing tasks.

Innovation Solution

A core network device receives a sensing request and determines one or more sensing nodes from a set of available nodes, then transmits a sensing request to each selected node, improving flexibility and reliability in node determination and reducing system overhead.

Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The core network device acts as an intermediary between the sensing task request and the pool of available sensing nodes. It receives sensing task information, determines appropriate sensing nodes based on task requirements and node capabilities, and manages the assignment process. This intermediary role provides flexibility in node selection while centralizing the complexity management in the core network device.
