Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure belongs to the field of sensing communication technology, and specifically relates to an information transmission method, a node, a medium, and a program product.

BACKGROUND

In a communication system, wireless sensing may be used to detect parameters of physical environment, thereby achieving target positioning, action recognition, imaging, or the like.

Traditional wireless sensing and wireless communication exist independently, and there is a waste of wireless spectrum and hardware resources in separated design. In future, after entering the Beyond 5G (beyond a fifth generation mobile communication system, B5G) era and the 6G era, it is possible to utilize base stations and multiple terminals for joint sensing. In a wireless communication system, when there are multiple sensing nodes (such as, a base station, a mobile phone or an IoT device that can transmit a signal) around a sensed node, accuracy of sensing may be improved by joint participation of multiple sensing nodes.

However, although more number of nodes participating in sensing is beneficial to improving sensing performance, in terms of efficiency, efficiency is not necessarily highest with more nodes. Therefore, how to select an appropriate sensing node from the multiple sensing nodes to participate in sensing is an urgent problem that needs to be solved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

For ease of understanding, relevant terms involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure are explained firstly.

I. Wireless Sensing

Wireless communication and wireless sensing are two major applications of modern radio frequency technology. Herein, wireless sensing can use backscattered radio waves to detect a parameter of physical environment to achieve environmental sensing, such as target positioning, motion recognition, and imaging.

Traditional wireless sensing and communication exist independently, and separated design has a problem of wasting wireless spectrum and a hardware resource. After entering the B5G and 6G era, the communication spectrum can move towards millimeter wave, terahertz, and visible light communication. The spectrum of future wireless communication will overlap with the traditional sensing spectrum.

Future communication sensing technology may integrate the two functions of communication and sensing. The wireless resource management of communication may be used to solve the interference problem in traditional wireless sensing; widely deployed cellular network may be used to realize a larger range of sensing services; a base station and multiple terminals may be used for joint sensing to achieve higher sensing accuracy; and hardware modules of communication may be reused to realize sensing functions and further, reduce costs. In short, communication sensing technology enables a future wireless communication system to have sensing capabilities, thereby providing a kind of foundation for the future development of smart transportation, smart cities, smart factories, drones, and other services.

As mentioned above, there are a large number of terminal devices (such as mobile phones and Internet of Things (IoT) devices) in the wireless communication system. When there are multiple sensing nodes around a sensed node, the joint participation of multiple sensing nodes in sensing will be able to improve the accuracy of sensing, meet more complex sensing service requirements, and provide richer sensing services. It can be understood that when there are multiple sensing nodes in a system, the efficiency can be improved by controlling and managing the entire sensing service through a sensing control node. The control node may be a base station or a mobile terminal. The increase in the number of nodes participating in sensing is beneficial to improving sensing performance, but it is not optimal in terms of efficiency. How to select an appropriate node from multiple sensing nodes to participate in sensing will be a major problem that needs to be studied in communication sensing. For example, if three sensing terminals are included around the sensed terminal, and the three sensing terminals are closer to the sensed terminal than the base station, sensing using the three sensing terminals may be more efficient and accurate than sensing using the base station. Furthermore, in the future, part of multiple sensing terminals may be selected to perform a sensing service according to the performance requirements of the sensing service, characteristics of the sensing terminal, and characteristics of the sensed terminal.

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure and apparently, the described embodiments are a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, but not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by the ordinary skilled in the art belong to the protection scope of the present disclosure.

The terms “first”, “second” and the like in the specification and claims of the present disclosure are used to distinguish similar objects but not to describe a particular sequence or order. It should be understood that the data used in this way may be interchangeable under appropriate conditions, so that the embodiments of the present disclosure may be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein, and objects distinguished by “first”, “second”, etc. are generally of the same category, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object may be one or more. In addition, “and/or” in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and a character “/” herein generally means that related objects before and after “/” are in an “or” relationship.

It is worth noting that the technology described in the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited to Long Term Evolution (LTE)/LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) systems, but can also be used in other wireless communication systems, such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Single-carrier Frequency-Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) and other systems. The terms “system” and “network” in the embodiments of the present disclosure are often used interchangeably, and the described technology can be used for the systems and radio technologies mentioned above as well as other systems and radio technologies. However, the following description describes an NR system for an exemplary purpose, and an NR terminology is used in most of the following description, although these techniques may also be applicable to applications other than NR system applications, such as 6th Generation (6G) communication systems.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of an interaction flow of the information transmission method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the method includes the following S201 to S208.

S201, a control node transmits configuration information.

Herein, the configuration information is used to indicate N sets of transmission resources, where N is a positive integer.

It should be noted that the configuration information may be used to indicate at least one sensing node to transmit a signal through the N sets of transmission resources.

For example, at least one sensing node mentioned above may be a sensing node around a sensed node.

Exemplarily, the control node may transmit configuration information with the same configuration content to the sensed node and the sensing node.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the signal transmitted on the aforementioned N sets of transmission resources may be a sensing signal transmitted from the sensing node or may be a measurement signal transmitted from the sensing node.

It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the configured transmission resources may include at least one of a time domain resource, a frequency domain resource, or a sequence resource.

S202, a sensed node receives the configuration information.

S203, at least one sensing node receives the configuration information.

Exemplarily, the sensed node may receive the configuration information transmitted from the control node.

S204, the at least one sensing node transmits a signal to the sensed node on the N sets of transmission resources.

S205, the sensed node receives the signal transmitted from the at least one sensing node through the N sets of transmission resources.

S206, the sensed node determines N pieces of reporting information based on the signal transmitted from the at least one sensing node.

Herein, the reporting information may be sensing result information or sensing measurement information.

S207, the sensed node transmits the N pieces of reporting information to the control node.

S208, the control node receives the N pieces of reporting information from the sensed node.

Herein, the N pieces of reporting information are determined by the sensed node based on the signal transmitted by the at least one sensing node on the N sets of transmission resources.

Exemplarily, after the control node receives the N pieces of reporting information from the sensing node, the control node may select a sensing node participating in the sensing service for the sensing node according to the N pieces of reporting information.

In the information transmission method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the control node may transmit the configuration information to a sensed node and a sensed node to indicate the at least one sensing node to transmit the signal through N sets of transmission resources, and after the at least one sensing node receives the configuration information, the at least one sensing node may transmit the signal to the sensed node through the N sets of transmission resources, and after the sensed node receives the configuration information, the sensed node may receive the signal transmitted by the at least one sensing node according to the N sets of transmission resources indicated by the configuration information, and then the sensed node determines the N pieces of reporting information according to the signal received from the at least one sensing node, so that it may be determined whether the performance of the different sensing nodes for transmitting signals satisfies the requirements. The sensed node may transmit the N pieces of reporting information to the control node, so that the control node may reasonably and effectively select the sensing node participating in the sensing communication for the sensing node according to the reporting information, and thus may select the sensing nodes with higher efficiency to provide higher sensing performance for the sensed node.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in the information transmission method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the N pieces of reporting information and the N sets of transmission resources.

That is, the sensed node may obtain a piece of reporting information according to the signal received on a set of transmission resources of the N sets of transmission resources. That is, each configured set of transmission resources may correspond to a piece of reporting information.

Exemplarily, on one set of transmission resources, the sensing node may transmit a set of measurement signals, and the sensed node may obtain a measurement result based on the one set of measurement signals, where the measurement result corresponds to a piece of reporting information.

In the information transmission method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the reporting information includes at least one of following 1-1 to 1-10.

1-1: Passing Result Information

Herein, the passing result information is used to indicate that a sensing result or a measurement result of a signal received on a set of transmission resources of the N sets of transmission resources satisfies a preset condition.

1-2: Non-Passing Result Information

Herein, the non-passing result information is used to indicate that a sensing result or a measurement result of a signal received on a set of transmission resources of the N sets of transmission resources does not satisfy a preset condition.

In a possible example, for the measurement signal on one set of transmission resources, the reporting information may not include a specific measurement result; for the sensing signal on one set of transmission resources, the reporting information may not include a specific sensing result. The reporting information may carry simple result information, for example, “0” represents the passing result information and “1” represents the non-passing result information.

Taking the signal transmitted from the sensing node as the measurement signal as an example, in a case where the result information is set to “1”, it can indicate that the measurement result of the measurement signal on the one set of transmission resources satisfies a predefined performance requirement, for example, the measurement result is greater than or equal to a threshold value of the performance requirement; in a case where the result information is set to “0”, it may indicate that the measurement result of the measurement signal on the one set of transmission resources does not satisfy the predefined performance requirement, for example, the measurement result is less than the threshold value of the performance requirement.

In a possible example, if the measurement result or sensing result passes, the information may be reported; if the measurement result or sensing result passes, the information may not be reported.

1-3: Permission Information

Herein, the permission information is used to indicate that a sensing node is allowed to transmit a sensing signal or a measurement signal to a sensed node, or indicate that a sensing node that transmits a signal on one set of transmission resources of the N sets of transmission resources is allowed to transmit a sensing signal or a measurement signal to a sensed node.

1-4: Rejection Information

Herein, the rejection information is used to indicate that a sensing node is rejected from transmitting a sensing signal or a measurement signal to a sensed node, or indicate that a sensing node that transmits a signal on one set of transmission resources of the N sets of transmission resources is rejected from transmitting a sensing signal or a measurement signal to a sensed node.

It should be noted that the sensing node that transmits the signal on the one set of transmission resources may include at least one sensing node.

In a possible example, for the measurement signal on the one set of transmission resources, the reporting information may not include a specific measurement permission result, for the sensing signal on the one set of transmission resources, the reporting information may not include a specific sensing permission result. Simple permission information or rejection information (such as “0” or “1”) may be transmitted.

Similarly, taking a signal transmitted from a sensing node as a measurement signal as an example, in a case where a permission result is set to “1”, it may indicate that a sensed node allows the sensing node that transmits the measurement signal on the one set of transmission resources to transmit the sensing signal to the sensed node; in a case where the permission result is set to “0”, it may indicate that the sensed node does not allow the sensing node that transmits the measurement signal on the one set of transmission resources to transmit the sensing signal to the sensed node.

In a possible example, if a sensed node allows a sensing node to transmit a measurement signal or a sensing signal, permission information may be reported; if a sensed node prohibits a sensing node from transmitting a measurement signal or a sensing signal, the information may not be reported.

1-5: Signal Amplitude Information

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in the information transmission method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the configuration information may further include characteristic information of one sensing node of the at least one sensing node.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the aforementioned one sensing node may correspond to one set of transmission resources of N sets of transmission resources.

Herein, the sensing node corresponding to the one set of transmission resources may include one or more sensing nodes.

It can be understood that if one set of transmission resources corresponds to a sensing node, the configuration information may include characteristic information of a sensing node corresponding to the one set of transmission resources; if one set of transmission resources corresponds to at least two sensing nodes, the configuration information may include characteristic information of at least sensing node corresponding to the one set of transmission resources.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the configuration information may further include characteristic information of a first sensing node of the at least one sensing node. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first sensing node includes one or more sensing nodes.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first sensing node corresponds to one set of transmission resources of the N sets of transmission resources.

Exemplarily, the configuration information may be used to indicate characteristic information of a sensing node corresponding to one set of transmission resources (for example, when there is a one-to-one correspondence between one set of transmission resources and a sensing node), and may also be used to indicate characteristic information of multiple sensing nodes corresponding to one set of transmission resources (for example, there is a one-to-many between one set of transmission resources and multiple sensing nodes).

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the characteristic information of the sensing node may include at least one of: a device type, a device capability, power supply information, device location information, or device antenna configuration information.

For example, for a sensed node, if the sensed node does not allow to be sensed by a mobile terminal, even if a measurement signal transmitted from a mobile terminal satisfies a predefined performance requirement, since the mobile terminal is not a device type preferred by the sensed node, the sensed node can set the permission information value corresponding to the signal transmitted from the mobile terminal to “0”.

In a possible example, in a case where the sensed node detects that the device type indicated by the characteristic information of the sensed node of the configuration information is a non-preferred type, the sensed node may not receive the signal transmitted from the device on the configured transmission resources and directly determine that the value of the permission information corresponding to the one set of transmission resources is “0”.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in the information transmission method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the above S207 may be optionally performed by the following S27a or S27b.

S27a, the sensed node transmits the N pieces of reporting information to the control node through one physical channel.

Furthermore, the S208 may be performed by the following S28a.

S28a, the control node receives the N pieces of reporting information from the sensed node through the one physical channel.

Herein, the one physical channel may be determined according to the configuration information or first information, and the first information is indication information of reported resources received after receiving the configuration information.

Exemplarily, the configuration information or the first information may also be used to indicate the physical channel resources for transmitting the reporting information, for example, the configuration information or the first information may be used to indicate at least one of a time domain resource, a frequency domain resource or a sequence resource. The sensed node may also determine a physical channel resource for transmitting the reporting information according to a transmission position of a physical transmission channel carrying the configuration information or the first information.

Exemplarily, the physical channel for transmitting the reporting information may be a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) or a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH).

S27b, the sensed node transmits the N pieces of reporting information to the control node through M physical channels.

Herein, M is a positive integer less than or equal to N.

Furthermore, the S208 may be performed by the following S28b.

S28b, the control node receives the N pieces of reporting information from the sensed node through M physical channels.

Exemplarily, the sensed node may transmit the reporting information in a batch reporting manner, so that a lower reporting latency may be realized, and due to the small amount of information reported at a time, a higher reliability may also be ensured.

For example, in a case where a time domain interval between each two sets of transmission resources of N sets of transmission resources is large, the sensed node may transmit reporting information separately for the signal of each sensing node, and may determine the physical channel resource for transmitting the corresponding reporting information according to a specific transmission resource of each set of transmission resources (such as a first transmission resource or a last transmission resource).

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in the information transmission method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the above S27a may be optionally performed by the following A1.

A1: the sensed node jointly encodes the N pieces of reporting information and transmits the N pieces of reporting information to the control node through one physical channel.

Exemplarily, the sensed node may concatenate the N pieces of report information according to a set number and jointly encode the N pieces of report information, or may concatenate the N pieces of report information according to a time domain resource order and jointly encode the N pieces of report information.

It can be understood that the transmission manner for transmitting the N pieces of reporting information in a joint encoding manner possesses high transmission efficiency and low power consumption.

It should be noted that the control node may configure N sets of transmission resources for transmitting the signal, each set of transmission resources may include at least one transmission opportunity, and the sensed object may obtain a report result for the signal transmitted on each set of transmission resources.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the information transmission method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure may include at least one of following manner 1 to manner 3.

Manner 1: there is a one-to-one relationship between the N sets of transmission resources and the at least one sensing node.

For example, there is a one-to-one correspondence between one set of transmission resources and a sensing node. That is, the signal on one set of transmission resources of the N sets of transmission resources is transmitted from a same sensing node.

That is, among the sensing node around the sensed node, there is a transmitting manner that the sensing node transmits a signal through one set of transmission resources. Herein, the sensing node transmits a signal only on a set of transmission resources of the N sets of transmission resources, and a piece of reporting information corresponding to the one set of transmission resources is determined by the signal transmitted from the sensing node. The sensing node may be any one of the at least one sensing node.

It can be understood that if each sensing node transmits a signal on one set of transmission resources, for example, node 1 transmits a signal on the transmission resource set 1 and node 2 transmits a signal on the transmission resource set 2, then the number of the at least one sensing node may be N, i.e., the number of the sensing node may be N. The sensed node may obtain a report result for the signal transmitted from each of the N sensing nodes on the configured transmission resources. The control node may determine the sensing node included in a subsequent sensing set based on the N report results corresponding to the N sensing nodes.

Manner 2: there is a one-to-many relationship between the N sets of transmission resources and the at least one sensing node.

For example, there is a one-to-many correspondence between the one set of transmission resources and at least two sensing nodes; that is, the signal on a same set of transmission resources of the N sets of transmission resources are transmitted from at least two sensing nodes.

That is, among the sensing node around the sensed node, there is a transmitting manner that the two sensing node transmit a signal through one set of transmission resources. Herein, at least two sensing nodes transmit signals on one set of transmission resources, and a piece of reporting information corresponding to the one set of transmission resources is determined by the signal transmitted from the at least two sensing nodes.

It can be understood that the reporting information is overall reporting information obtained based on the signals transmitted from at least two sensing nodes, and is not precise to each sensing node.

For example, one set of measurement signals includes multiple measurement signals, and multiple sensing nodes transmit the measurement signal to the sensed node on each transmission resource of the one set of transmission resources, respectively.

Manner 3: there is a many-to-one relationship between the N sets of transmission resources and the at least one sensing node.

For example, there is a many-to-one relationship between multiple sets of transmission resources of the N sets of transmission resources and a same sensing node. That is, the signal on at least two sets of transmission resources of the N sets of transmission resources are transmitted from the same sensing node.

That is, among the sensing node around the sensed node, there is a transmitting manner that a sensing node transmits a signal through two sets of transmission resources. Herein, a sensing node transmits a signal on at least two sets of transmission resources, and at least two pieces of reporting information corresponding to the at least two sets of transmission resources are determined by the signal transmitted from the node.

It can be understood that the sensing node may obtain at least two pieces of reporting information based on the signal transmitted from the same sensed node, so that a result acquired according to the signal transmitted from the sensing node is more accurate.

Exemplarily, whether to configure multiple sets of transmission resources for the sensing node may be determined according to a distance between the sensing node and the sensed node.

In a possible example, if there is a sensing node that transmits a signal on at least two sets of transmission resources, the at least one sensing node may be H sensing nodes, where H is a positive integer less than N.

It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, among the N sets of transmission resources, one set of transmission resources may include at least one transmission opportunity (transmission resource). Herein, one transmission opportunity may correspond to one transmission of a signal, which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure herein.

It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the sensed node may not specify the number of sensed nodes and the correspondence between the sensed node and the signal. The sensed nodes can independently process the signal received on N sets of transmission resources and provide feedback.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the sensed node may also specify the correspondence between the sensing node and the signal, which is not specifically limited to the embodiments of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in the information transmission method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, each set of transmission resources of the N sets of transmission resources is independently configured.

The control node may independently configure each set of transmission resources in the configuration information, for example, may independently configure at least one of a time domain resource, a frequency domain resource or a sequence resources of each set of transmission resources.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the control node may transmit a first signaling to the sensing node and the sensed node, where the first signaling includes multiple sub-signalings, a sub-signaling may be used to configure at least one set of transmission resources.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the control node may also transmit multiple second signalings, and each second signaling separately indicates one set of transmission resources. That is, the transmission resources between different sets are completely unrelated or have no commonality.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in the information transmission method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, each set of transmission resources of the N sets of transmission resources includes a transmission opportunity (transmission resource); and the N sets of transmission resources may satisfy any one of condition 1-1 and condition 1-2:

• • condition 1-1: the N sets of transmission resources being periodic transmission resources; or
  • condition 1-2: the N sets of transmission resources being transmission resources that are continuous in time domain.

FIG. 3 are time domain schematic diagrams of a transmission resource provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. Assume that N=4, that is, 4 sets of transmission resources are configured, and each set of transmission resources includes one transmission opportunity. As shown in FIG. 3A, a schematic diagram of the time domain periodicity of the above four sets of transmission resources is shown, which are a first set of transmission resources, a second set of transmission resources, a third set of transmission resources and a fourth set of transmission resources in chronological order. Each set of transmission resources has a same length of time L, and each set of transmission resources is separated by the same time T. Continuing with FIG. 3, as shown in FIG. 3B, a schematic diagram of time-domain continuity of the four sets of transmission resources is shown, which are a first set of transmission resources, a second set of transmission resources, a third set of transmission resources and a fourth set of transmission resources in chronological order. An end symbol of each set of transmission resources is adjacent to a start symbol of the next set of transmission resources.

It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, a symbol length occupied by time domain resource of each transmission resource or each transmission opportunity is taken as an example for description.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, frequency domain resources occupied by respective sets of transmission resources of the N sets of transmission resources may be the same or different. In a case where the frequency domain resources are different, the frequency domain resources of respective sets of transmission resources may be obtained by frequency hopping based on an agreed manner.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, sequence resources occupied by respective sets of transmission resources of the N sets of transmission resources may be the same or different. In a case where the sequence resources are different, the sequence resources may be obtained by frequency hopping based on an agreed manner, for example, a parameter, a number or a cyclic shift value of the sequence used by the signal may be determined based on the agreed manner.

For the condition 1-1

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the N sets of transmission resources may possess at least one periodicity of a time domain periodicity or a frequency domain periodicity.

For the sake of description, taking the time domain periodicity as an example, the configuration information may indicate a time domain periodicity and may also indicate at least one of: a starting symbol S0, an ending symbol S1, a time domain length L (number of symbols) of one set of transmission resources, a frequency domain resource occupied by a transmission resource, or a value of N.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in a case where the above-mentioned N sets of transmission resources are periodic transmission resources, a first time unit is determined according to second information. Herein, the first time unit is a time unit (a slot, a sub-slot, or at least one time domain symbol) where the first set of transmission resources of the above-mentioned N sets of transmission resources is located; and the first set of transmission resources is the one set of transmission resources with earliest transmission time in the N sets of transmission resources. The second information is configuration information or the above-mentioned first information.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first time unit is indicated by the second information, or is determined according to a transmitting time unit of the second information and a first time offset. Herein, the first time offset is a predefined time offset or a time offset indicated by the second information.

Example 1-1

For example, the configuration information may indicate at least one of: a first time unit where the first set of measurement signals being located or a first time offset.

Furthermore, the time unit where the first set of transmission resources of N sets of transmission resources is located may be the first time unit, or may be determined by the time unit for transmitting the configuration information and the first time offset, or may be the time unit determined by the time unit for transmitting configuration information and the predefined offset.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, after the above-mentioned S201, the following S209 may further be included.

S209: the control node transmits first information.

In a possible example, the control node may transmit the first information to the sensed node after transmitting the configuration information, so as to indicate the transmission resources for the sensed node to transmit the reporting information.

Example 1-2

For example, the first information may indicate at least one of: a second time unit where the first set of measurement signals is located or a second time offset.

Furthermore, the time unit where the first set of transmission resources of N sets of transmission resources is located may be the second time unit, or a time unit determined by the time unit for transmitting the first information and the second time offset, or a time unit determined by the time unit determined by the time unit for transmitting first information and the predefined offset.

It should be noted that the first time unit and the second time unit may be the same time unit or different time units, and the first time offset and the second time offset may be offsets with a same value or offsets with different values, which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

For the condition 1-2

For example, concentrating the transmitting of measurement signals in a relatively short period of time can not only reduce the impact of the sensing measurement procedure on the communication procedure, but also perform the measurement with a smaller signaling overhead.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the configuration information may be used to indicate a starting location of N sets of transmission resources and at least one of: a duration, an end location, or value of N; where the number of time domain symbols occupied by each set of transmission resources is predefined or indicated by the configuration information.

For example: {symbol 0 in slot n, symbol 6 in slot n, symbol 12 in slot n+2, symbol 0 in slot n+3}.

Herein, a number of time domain symbols included in each transmission opportunity is predefined or indicated by the configuration information.

It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the manner for determining the slot n may refer to the manner for determining the above-mentioned first time unit, which will not be repeated herein.

It can be understood that in a case where transmission channels from different sensing nodes to the sensed nodes are different and capabilities and power consumption of different sensing nodes are different, different numbers of transmission resource configurations may be used based on different sensing nodes.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, for a sensing node, it is not necessary to acquire all N sets of transmission resources configured by the control node, and only needs to acquire its own transmission location. That is, the configuration information transmitted from the control node to the sensed node may be used to indicate N sets of transmission resources, indicate at least one sensed node to transmit a sensing signal or a measurement signal to the sensed node through the N sets of transmission resources, and the configuration information transmitted to each sensing node may be used to indicate transmission resources corresponding to each sensing node.
