Some concepts and/or terms involved in the sensing signal path determination method, device, communication equipment, system and storage medium provided by the embodiments of the present application are explained below.

In the embodiment of this application, a wireless auxiliary device is designed to forward the sensing signal sent by the sensing signal sending device. The specific implementation of the wireless auxiliary device can be an amplification and forwarding relay device, or an amplification and forwarding relay device with beam control function, or an intelligent surface RIS device. It can be understood that the working status of auxiliary equipment, such as switches, beam configurations, etc., is centrally controlled by the sensing signal sending device or by the background of the sensing system. The sensing signal sending device and sensing detection device may be a base station, TRP, Wifi access point or terminal device in the wireless communication system.

Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) is an emerging artificial material device; RIS can dynamically or semi-statically adjust its own electromagnetic properties (such as the phase, amplitude, polarization direction of electromagnetic signals, or a combination of multiple parameters) ), affecting the reflection or refraction behavior of electromagnetic waves incident on RIS; RIS can control the reflected waves or refraction signals of incident electromagnetic signals to achieve functions such as beam scanning or beam forming.

In an actual scenario, the network determines the location of the base station, the terminal location/intended beam direction, and the location of the RIS device and The orientation of the RIS reflection surface determines the relative positional relationship between the network, RIS, and terminal/beam direction, and determines the corresponding RIS beamforming. The network uses the process of simulated beam scanning or beam training to perform beam training of RIS beams. Take downlink beam training as an example. The downlink signal beam of the base station remains unchanged (for example, the beam pointing to the downlink signal of RIS). RIS sequentially uses reflected beams in different directions to forward the downlink signal. The terminal receives the downlink signal to determine the downlink signal at different times. energy intensity, select the RIS reflection beam with the largest downlink signal energy as the RIS optimal beamforming.

The path determination method for sensing signals provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through some embodiments and their application scenarios.

At present, future mobile communication systems such as B5G systems or 6G systems will also have sensing capabilities in addition to communication capabilities. Sensing capability refers to one or more devices with sensing capabilities that can perceive the orientation, distance, speed and other information of target objects through the sending and receiving of wireless signals, or detect, track, and detect target objects, events or environments, etc. Recognition, imaging, etc. In the future, with the deployment of small first devices with high-frequency and large-bandwidth capabilities such as millimeter waves and terahertz in 6G networks, the resolution of perception will be significantly improved compared to centimeter waves, allowing 6G networks to provide more refined perception services.

Awareness deployment solutions can include the following methods:

Single-point centralized sensing: The sensing node (such as a base station) has both the sensing signal transmitting function and the sensing signal receiving and detecting function. The sensing node transmits the sensing signal and detects the reflected signal (echo) of the sensing target for sensing. The sensing node determines the status of the sensing target (such as direction, position, movement, etc.) by sensing the echo signal of the target. Single-point centralized sensing requires the sensing node to have good self-interference elimination performance to ensure the accuracy of sensing detection; single-point centralized sensing uses the signal sent by a single node as a reference signal and does not require synchronous cooperation between multiple nodes.

Multi-point distributed sensing: sensing signal sending equipment and receiving detection equipment are located in different locations. The receiving and detecting device detects the sensing signal sent by the sending device for sensing. For example, the base station 2 senses the environmental information between the base station 1 and the base station 2 by receiving the wireless signal from the base station 1 . Multi-point distributed sensing usually requires comparison of multiple signals to achieve sensing measurement, for example, by comparing the current signal with the historical signal (previous or pre-stored result) to determine the status of the sensing target. Distributed multi-point sensing avoids the interference isolation problem of spontaneous self-collection, but it has higher requirements for time and frequency synchronization between multiple nodes.

Interactive sensing: Through information interaction between the sensing node and the sensing target object, the subject, time, frequency, format, etc. of electromagnetic wave transmission are agreed upon to complete the sensing process. The sensing target has the function of sending and receiving signals, and performs signal interaction according to the sensing process to complete sensing measurements or report sensing results.

In the sensing service, parameter estimation needs to be performed based on the LOS path to obtain the parameters of the sensing target (such as Doppler frequency offset, time delay, angle information, etc.). The system infers the characteristics of the sensing target (such as movement) based on the parameter measurement parameters. speed, position, etc.). The LOS path requirement is a necessary prerequisite to ensure the accuracy of sensing measurement parameters. Because, if the sensing signal passes through the NLOS path reflected/scattered by an unknown object, then the measurement results of the sensing signal will contain the characteristics of multiple objects (sensing targets and unknown objects), and the system cannot distinguish the characteristics of multiple objects. Leading to inaccurate perception results. It can be understood that the single-point centralized sensing system requires the LOS path between the sensing node and the sensing target; the multi-point distributed sensing system requires the LOS path between the sensing signal sending node and the sensing target, the sensing detection node and the sensing target; interactive sensing The system requires a LOS path between the sensing node and the sensing target.

For different sensing services and different sensing system deployment methods, the sensing signal can be a single-beam system or a multi-beam system. Due to the complex and changeable characteristics of the wireless environment, the path from the sensing signal source (such as the base station) to the sensing target may be an NLOS transmission path, resulting in inaccurate sensing measurement results. Therefore, the sensing system can introduce auxiliary nodes to provide reliable transmission paths and realize sensing measurements under NLOS channels. A reliable auxiliary node is a pre-deployed signal forwarding device that implements the transmission path from the sensing signal source to the auxiliary node, and the transmission path from the auxiliary node to the sensing target as the LOS path. In this case, the receiving node of the sensing signal can distinguish the transmission path of the auxiliary node in the signal, thereby performing sensing measurements. Moreover, the auxiliary node is a pre-deployed fixed device, so it can be considered that the additional signal parameter changes (such as Doppler, delay, angle) introduced by the auxiliary node forwarding the signal are knowable and can be compensated from the sensing measurement results. This ensures the accuracy of the measurement results of the perceived target.

Furthermore, considering different sensing systems, the auxiliary node can provide the sensing signal source (base station) to the auxiliary node in a single-beam sensing system, and establish the LOS path from the auxiliary node to the sensing target; or, in a multi-beam sensing system, for reference The beam provides the sensing signal source to the auxiliary node, and the LOS path establishment from the auxiliary node to the sensing measurement node, or in a multi-beam sensing system, for the sensing beam, provides the sensing signal source to the auxiliary node, and the LOS path establishment from the auxiliary node to the sensing target. .

The entire process of the path determination method for sensing signals will be described in detail below through specific implementations (ie, Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2).

Embodiment 1: This embodiment is a solution in which the sensing detection device and the sensing signal transmitting device are at the same location.

In the scenario of spontaneous and self-receiving, the sensing signal sending device has the ability to send and receive sensing signals at the same time, that is, full-duplex capability, such as a base station or a device node dedicated to sensing services. When a LOS path exists, the sensing node chooses to use the LOS path to perform sensing services and follows the existing sensing process. There is no need to configure additional auxiliary nodes; when the LOS path is blocked, the sensing node can send sensing signals to the auxiliary node. The auxiliary node forwards the sensing signal to sense the occluded area. If the sensing node chooses to use an auxiliary node for sensing, the auxiliary node forwards signals according to the preconfiguration. The auxiliary node needs to have full-duplex capabilities (such as RIS or backscatter nodes or full-duplex capable relays).

The sensing signal path determination method provided by the embodiment of the present application specifically includes the following steps 21 to 26:

Step 21: The sensing signal sending device sends sensing signals to the sensing target or sensing area and the auxiliary node.

The above-mentioned sensing signal may be a beam directed to the sensing target or sensing area, or a beam directed to the auxiliary node and then directed to the sensing target or sensing area by the auxiliary node.

The above-mentioned beam is a broadcast beam/wide beam (that is, pointed at the sensing target/sensing area and the auxiliary node at the same time), or it can be multiple narrow beams (that is, directed at the sensing target and the auxiliary node respectively). The transmission beam of the secondary node can be a broadcast beam/wide beam or multiple narrow beams. If the base station uses different narrow beams to point to the sensing target and the auxiliary node respectively, the sensing signals of different narrow beams can use independently configured reference signals (time-frequency resources, pilot sequences).

Before sending the sensing signal to the auxiliary node, the sensing signal sending device configures the relevant parameters of signal forwarding for the auxiliary node, including: the working time period of the auxiliary node, corresponding to the sending time period of the sensing signal; the working status of the auxiliary node, for phase control The type of auxiliary node corresponds to the default forwarding phase and the forwarding phase that is inverted from the default forwarding phase; further, a corresponding forwarding time period is configured for the phase of the auxiliary node's forwarding signal (the default forwarding phase and the corresponding forwarding phase that is inverted from the phase); Further optionally, configure the beam information of the auxiliary node to forward the signal, such as one or more directions of the forwarding beam. Different forwarding directions also need to configure corresponding working time periods. The working state of the auxiliary node, for power control auxiliary nodes (such as relays or power control RIS), corresponds to the signal forwarding state and the silent state.

As an example of the configuration method, the configuration message of the sensing signal sending device includes the sequence of the working status of the auxiliary node, such as the starting time point of the base station configuring the working time of the auxiliary node, and the sequence of the working status of the auxiliary node (bit 0 indicates the default forwarding phase, bit 1 indicates Corresponding phase reversal working state, the sequence can be an OCC sequence, such as "01""10""0101""1100", etc.), and the time length corresponding to each working state (can be symbol/time slot/ The time length in units of subframe/radio frame/absolute time), the auxiliary node determines the time period of each working state of the auxiliary node according to the starting time point sequence. The base station may further configure the forwarding wave corresponding to the working state sequence. bundle. Each forwarding beam corresponds to different time periods, which can be the same working state sequence or different working state sequences.

Step 22: The sensing signal sending device receives the echo reflected by the sensing target, and determines the channel characteristics between the sensing signal sending device and the sensing target or sensing area.

Optionally, before the sensing signal sending device determines the channel characteristics between the sensing signal sending device and the sensing target or sensing area, the sensing signal sending device may determine whether a LOS path exists between the sensing signal sending device and the sensing target or sensing area. Yes: the time range of the expected loopback time RTT (i.e., the distance from the expected sensing target/sensing area to the base station, converted into the expected RTT value); the arrival angle range of the first reach path (i.e., the direction of the expected sensing target/sensing area); perception Whether the emission angle of the signal is the same as the arrival angle of the first reach path. If the judgment criteria are met, it is considered that there is a LOS path between the base station and the sensing target/sensing area; otherwise, it is an NLOS path.

Step 23: The sensing signal sending device receives the sensing signal forwarded by the auxiliary node, and determines the channel characteristics between the sensing signal sending device and the sensing target or sensing area via the auxiliary node.

The sensing signal sending device receives the sensing signal forwarded by the auxiliary node and ensures that the sending beam to the auxiliary device is the same as the sensing beam. The corresponding transmission path for the sensing signal sending device to receive the sensing signal forwarded by the auxiliary device is base station-auxiliary device-sensing target-auxiliary device-base station. The base station detects the channel characteristics of the above-mentioned transmission paths, including RTT, signal strength, and Doppler characteristics.

Step 24: The sensing signal sending device determines whether to use the transmission path corresponding to the auxiliary node for sensing.

The reference criteria may be: the signal strength of the transmission path of the auxiliary node is different from the signal strength of the LOS path (for example, the difference exceeds a predefined threshold); the RTT time conforms to the expected time range of the sensing system.

Step 25: When the sensing signal sending device senses the transmission path corresponding to the auxiliary node, the sensing signal sending device configures parameters for the auxiliary node.

The above configuration parameters include: forwarding beam, transmission power of the forwarding beam, corresponding working time period and working cycle. For different sensing services, the secondary node can have one or more forwarding beams.

For sensing objects in a fixed sensing area, the forwarding beam of the auxiliary node is a fixed beam.

For moving sensing objects, the forwarding beams of the auxiliary node are multiple beams.

The sensing signal transmitting device determines the transmitting beam of the sensing signal based on the arrival angle of the received signal.

If the sensing signal sending device chooses to use the LOS path for sensing services, the sensing signal sending device uses the arrival angle of the first reach path as the beam direction of subsequent sensing services.

If the sensing signal sending device chooses to use the auxiliary node to forward the sensing signal, the sensing signal sending device uses the arrival angle of the received signal on the transmission path of the auxiliary node as the beam direction of the sensing service.

Step 26: The sensing signal sending device sends the sensing signal through the sensing signal transmission path and performs sensing measurement.

Embodiment 2: This embodiment is a solution where the sensing detection device and the sensing signal transmitting device are in different locations.

In a multi-point distributed sensing system, there are two beams, one is the reference beam from the sensing signal sending device to the sensing detection device, and the other is the sensing beam that the sensing signal sending device reaches the sensing detection device after being reflected or scattered by the sensing target. The sensing and detection equipment receives signals corresponding to the reference beam and the sensing beam respectively, and uses the reference beam as a reference to determine the measurement quantity of the sensing beam (such as the arrival time of the sensing beam, Doppler frequency deviation, and angle of arrival). Both of the above beams may be blocked, and additional transmission paths can be established by providing forwarding signals through auxiliary nodes. Here we first describe the method of judging the occlusion situation of the reference beam and the method of switching the auxiliary node.

The signal between the sensing transmitting node and the sensing receiving node can be a downlink channel, an uplink channel or a sidelink channel.

It should be noted that the second embodiment is described below using reference beams and sensing beams respectively.

For reference beam switching, the sensing signal path determination method provided by the embodiment of the present application specifically includes the following steps 31 to 36:

Step 31: The sensing signal sending device sends the first sensing reference signal to the auxiliary node and the sensing detection device.

The above-mentioned first sensing reference signal is used to determine the sensing reference beam.

The sensing signal sending device sends the first sensing signal in a broadcast beam, and the sensing signal sending device may send the first sensing signal in multiple beams. It includes a beam directed to the auxiliary node, and the auxiliary node forwards the first sensing signal with a broadcast beam or multiple narrow beams in different directions.

Step 32: The sensing detection device receives the sensing signal and sends a first sensing reference signal, and the auxiliary node sends a second sensing reference signal.

The perception detection device determines the channel characteristics of the transmission path from the perception signal sending device to the perception detection device via the auxiliary node according to the first perception reference signal, and the perception detection device determines the channel characteristics of the transmission path from the perception signal sending device to the perception detection device according to the second perception reference signal. Channel characteristics.

Before sensing the channel characteristics of the transmission path from the signal sending device to the sensing detection device via the auxiliary node, the sensing detection device can determine whether there is a connection between the sensing sending node and the receiving node based on whether the first reach path and the strongest energy path in the channel information are consistent. There is occlusion.

Step 33: The sensing detection device determines whether to use the transmission path corresponding to the auxiliary node for sensing.

If the arrival time of the transmission path corresponding to the auxiliary node is earlier than the arrival time of the first path measured by the broadcast beam of the sensing signal sending device, then the transmission path corresponding to the auxiliary node is selected as the path of the reference beam.

If the signal energy of the transmission path corresponding to the auxiliary node is stronger than the signal energy corresponding to the first path beam (for example, exceeds a predefined threshold), then the transmission path corresponding to the auxiliary node is selected as the path of the reference beam.

If the beam direction of the sensing target or sensing area is the same as the beam direction of the first reach path (the emission angle difference of the beam signal is less than the predefined threshold), then the transmission path corresponding to the auxiliary node is selected as the path of the reference beam.

Step 34: The sensing detection device reports the selection result or measurement result to the sensing reference signal sending device.

If there are multiple forwarding beams of the auxiliary node, the sensing detection device can measure the signal strength of the multiple forwarding beams and select the one or several paths with the best signal strength as the paths for sensing reference beams.

Step 35: The sensing signal sending device configures subsequent sensing signal sending parameters according to the reporting results.

The sensing signal sending device configures a single sensing reference beam, and uses the beam corresponding to the first reach path from the sensing signal sending device to the sensing detection device, or uses the beam forwarded by the sensing signal sending device through the auxiliary node.
