The integration of communication and sensing is to implement integrated design of communication and sensing functions through spectrum sharing and hardware sharing in a same system. While transmitting information, the system may sense information such as azimuth, distance, and speed, to detect, track and identify a target device or event. The communication system and the sensing system complement each other, thus improving overall performance and bringing better service experience.


The integration of communication and radar is a typical application of the integration of communication and sensing (fusion of communication and sensing). In the past, the radar system and communication system were strictly distinguished because of different research objects and focus, and the two systems were studied independently in most scenarios. Actually, the radar and communication systems are also typical ways of information transmission, acquisition, processing, and exchange, and there are many similarities in working principle, system architecture, and frequency band. The integrated design of communication and radar has great feasibility, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects: firstly, both the communication system and the sensing system are based on the electromagnetic wave theory, and implement information acquisition and transmission through transmission and reception of electromagnetic wave; secondly, both the communication system and the sensing system have structures such as an antenna, a transmitter, a receiver, and a signal processor, greatly overlapping in hardware resources. With the development of technologies, the two increasingly overlap in the working frequency band. In addition, there are similarities in key technologies such as signal modulation, reception detection, and waveform design. The integration of communication and radar systems may bring many advantages, such as saving cost, reducing size, reducing power consumption, improving spectrum efficiency, and reducing mutual interference, thus improving overall performance of the system.


According to the difference between a transmitting node and a receiving node of the sensing signal, there may be the following six types of sensing links, as shown in FIG. 1b. It should be noted that in FIG. 1b, each type of sensing link uses one transmitting node and one receiving node as an example. In an actual system, different sensing links may be selected based on different sensing requirements, each type of sensing link may have one or more transmitting nodes and receiving nodes, and an actual sensing system may include a variety of different types of sensing links. Sensing objects in FIG. 1b use people and cars as examples, and sensing objects in an actual system may be more abundant.


1) Echo sensing for a base station. In this manner, the base station sends a sensing signal and obtains a sensing result by receiving echo of the sensing signal.


2) Air interface sensing between base stations. In this manner, a base station 2 receives a sensing signal sent by a base station 1 and obtains a sensing result.


3) Uplink air interface sensing. In this manner, a base station receives a sensing signal sent by User Equipment (UE) and obtains a sensing result.


4) Downlink air interface sensing. In this manner, the UE receives a sensing signal sent by the base station and obtains a sensing result.


5) Echo sensing for a terminal. In this manner, the UE sends a sensing signal and obtains a sensing result by receiving echo of the sensing signal.


6) Sidelink sensing between terminals. For example, UE 2 receives a sensing signal sent by UE 1 and obtains a sensing result.


The following describes in detail a sensing signal processing method provided in the embodiments of this application by using some embodiments and application scenarios thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.


First, the terms involved in the embodiments of this application are explained and described:


1. First Requirement

The first requirement includes a fuzzification requirement related to wireless sensing, a sensing privacy requirement, or a sensing error requirement. For example:


a) Fuzzification requirement/privacy requirement for a position of a sensed sensing object, such as a position of the sensing object plus a random deviation in a range of −1 m to 1 m or a random angle error of −5 degrees to +5 degrees for angle information.


b) Adding a deviation to trajectory information. Trajectory consists of multiple positions at different times. To keep trajectory of fuzzification processing continuous, position errors at different times need to be consistent.


c) Sensing characteristics of a sensing object, such as a human body, for example, scanning body contour characteristics of a person through radio signals, merely for the purpose of virtual fitting, instead of obtaining more detailed information for other purposes. In this case, the first requirement may be a minimum 3D sensing resolution, for example, 5 cm×5 cm×5 cm.


d) Imaging: for example, imaging results of some sensing objects feature privacy.


For example, for face information, 2D information of face may be obtained by radio signal scanning. In this case, the first requirement may be a minimum 2D sensing resolution, such as 2 cm×2 cm. In this case, the first requirement is not to display a sensing result of human face, but only to display a sensing result of other human parts.


e) Map construction/3D environment reconstruction: Map information or environment reconstruction information of some sensitive areas or sensitive buildings belongs to private information. In this case, the first requirement includes characteristic information of the sensitive areas or sensitive buildings, such as location information, and a minimum resolution for map construction of the sensitive areas or sensitive buildings (for example, the minimum resolution of map construction of the sensitive areas or sensitive buildings is 10 m×10 m×10 m, and other non-sensitive areas are 1 m×1 m×1 m).


f) Radar: For example, results of ranging, speed measurement, and angle measurement by radar, and sensing results for some sensing objects may be private. In this case, the first requirement is a resolution requirement for ranging, speed measurement, and angle measurement of some sensing objects, such as a minimum velocity resolution of 1 meter per second, a minimum distance resolution of 10 meters, and a minimum angle resolution of 10 degrees. For another example, the first requirement in this case is to add one absolute error to the result of ranging, speed measurement, and angle measurement, or add a relative error such as a 10% error to the result of ranging, speed measurement and angle measurement.


g) Minimum granularity requirement or quantification requirement of human heart rate and respiratory rate obtained through wireless sensing, for example, the granularity of the minimum heartbeat frequency is 5 times/minute, and the granularity of minimum respiratory frequency is 2 times/minute.


h) Health: Information such as blood oxygen, blood pressure, or sleep quality belongs to personal private information. The first requirement in this case is, for example, the granularity of minimum blood oxygen or blood pressure.


Note: The first requirement may further include a fuzzification mode. For the specific fuzzification mode, refer to the following related descriptions.


2. First Information/Second Information: Interpretation of Parameter Information and Resource Information of the Sensing Signal.

The parameter information of the sensing signal includes at least one of the following:


a) Waveforms, such as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and Single-carrier Frequency-Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA), Orthogonal Time Frequency Space (OTFS), Frequency Modulated CW (FMCW), or pulse signal.


b) Subcarrier spacing, for example, a subcarrier spacing of the OFDM system is 30 KHz.


c) Guard period, that is, a time interval from an end time of sending a signal to a time of receiving the latest echo signal of the signal, where the parameter is proportional to a maximum sensing distance and for example, can be calculated by 2 dmax/c, dmax being a maximum sensing distance (belonging to the sensing requirement). For another example, for a sensing signal spontaneously sent and received, dmax represents a maximum distance from a sensing signal receive point to a signal transmit point. In some cases, a Cyclic Prefix (CP) of OFDM signals can act as a minimum guard period; where c represents the speed of light.


d) Bandwidth: this parameter is inversely proportional to a distance resolution and can be obtained by c/2/delta_d, where delta_d represents a distance resolution (belonging to the sensing requirement).


e) Burst duration: this parameter is inversely proportional to a rate resolution (belonging to the sensing requirement), and this parameter is a time span of the sensing signal, mainly for calculating Doppler frequency shift; this parameter can be calculated by c/2/delta_v/fc, where delta_v represents a velocity resolution, and fc represents a carrier frequency of the signal or a central frequency of the signal.


f) Time domain interval, where this parameter can be calculated by c/2/fc/v_range; v_range represents a maximum rate minus a minimum speed (belonging to the sensing requirement), and this parameter is a time interval between two adjacent sensing signals.


g) Power information of a transmitted signal includes transmission power, peak power, average power, total power, power spectral density, Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP), power of each port, and the like. For example, a value of the transmission power is taken every 2 dBm from −20 dBm to 23 dBm; and a value of the transmit signal power or EIRP, for example, is taken every 2 dBm from −20 dBm to 23 dBm.


h) Signal format, such as Sounding Reference Signal (SRS), Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS), Positioning Reference Signal (PRS), or other predefined signals, and related sequence format (sequence format is associated with sequence content, sequence length, or the like) and other information.


i) Signal direction, such as a sensing signal direction or beam information.


j) Beam information or Quasi co-location (QCL) relationship, where for example, the sensing signal includes a plurality of resources, and each resource corresponds to one Synchronization Signal and PBCH block (SSB) QCL, and a type of QCL includes type A (Type A), type B (Type B), type C (Type C), or type D (Type D);


k) Antenna configuration parameter (applicable to transmission and reception of sensing signals by multi-antenna devices), for example, at least one of orthogonal transmission antenna mode (Time Division Multiplexing (TDM)/Code Division Multiplexing (CDM)/Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM)/Doppler Division Multiplexing (DDM), the number of antenna ports, the number of antenna elements, a distance between antenna elements, the number of receiving channels, the number of transmitting channels, the number of transmitting antennas, and the number of (maximum) uplink or downlink Multi Input Multi Output (MIMO) layers.


The resource information of the sensing signal includes at least one of the following:

    • a) time resource, such as a slot index or symbol index of a slot in which the sensing signal is located; where there are two types of time resources, one is a one-off time resource, for example, one omnidirectional first signal is sent on one symbol; the other is a non-one-off time resource, such as a plurality of groups of periodic time resources or discontinuous time resources (which may include a start time and an end time), sensing signals in the same direction are sent on each group of periodic time resources, and beam directions for different groups of periodic time resources are different; and
    • b) frequency resource, including a central frequency of the sensing signal, bandwidth, Radio Bearer (RB) or subcarrier, or the like.


3. Sensing Requirement (Also Referred to as Second Requirement)

The sensing requirement includes at least one of the following:

    • sensing target area: indicates a location area where the sensing object may exist, or a location area that needs imaging or three-dimensional reconstruction;
    • sensing object type: sensing objects are classified based on their possible motion characteristics, and each sensing object type contains information such as motion speed, motion acceleration, and typical Radar Cross Section (RCS) of typical sensing objects; and
