It is worth noting that the technology described in the embodiment of this application is not limited to the Long Term Evolution (Long Term Evolution, LTE)/LTE-Advanced (LTE-Advanced, LTE-A) system, and can also be used in other wireless communication systems, such as code 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 (Single-carrier Frequency-Division Multiple Access, SC-FDMA) and other systems. The terms "system" and "network" in the embodiments of the present application are often used interchangeably, and the described technology can be used for the above-mentioned system and radio technology, and can also be used for other systems and radio technologies. The following description describes the New Radio (New Radio, NR) system for exemplary purposes, and uses NR terminology in most of the following descriptions, and these technologies can also be applied to applications other than NR system applications, such as the 6th Generation (6 ^th Generation , 6G) communication system.

In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the embodiments of the present application, the following descriptions are given first.

Future mobile communication systems such as the 5th ^Generation (5G) system or 6G system will not only have communication capabilities, but will also have perception capabilities. Perception capability, that is, one or more devices with perception capability, which can perceive the orientation, distance, speed and other information of the target object through the transmission and reception of wireless signals, or detect, track, and detect the target object, event or environment. identification, imaging, etc. In the future, with the deployment of millimeter-wave, terahertz and other small base stations with high-frequency and large-bandwidth capabilities in 6G networks, the resolution of perception will be significantly improved compared with centimeter waves, so that 6G networks can provide more refined perception services.

The integration of communication and radar is a typical application of communication perception fusion. In the past, radar system and communication system were strictly distinguished due to different research objects and focuses. In most scenarios, the two systems were distributed for research. In fact, radar and communication systems are also typical ways of sending, acquiring, processing and exchanging information. There are many similarities in terms of working principle, system architecture and frequency band. The design of communication and radar integration has great feasibility, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects: First, the communication system and the perception system are both based on the theory of electromagnetic waves, and use the emission and reception of electromagnetic waves to complete information acquisition and transmission; secondly, Both the communication system and the perception system have structures such as antennas, transmitters, receivers, and signal processors, and there is a large overlap in hardware resources; with the development of technology, there are more and more overlaps in the working frequency bands between the two; In addition, there are similarities in key technologies such as signal modulation, reception detection, and waveform design. The integration of communication and radar systems can bring many advantages, such as saving costs, reducing size, reducing power consumption, improving spectral efficiency, reducing mutual interference, etc., thereby improving the overall system performance.
