下面对本申请实施例所涉及到的ISAC系统进行介绍。
ISAC系统包括感知功能设备、感知发送节点(sensing TX node，STN)、感知接收节点(sensing RX node，SRN)和感知对象(sensing object，SO)。ISAC系统的感知模式包括以下六种：
(1)单传输接收点(transmitter receiver point monostatic，TRP monostatic)模式；
(2)双传输接收点(TRP-TRP bistatic)模式；
(3)终端-传输接收点双站(UE-TRP bistatic)模式；
(4)传输接收点-终端双站(TRP-UE bistatic)模式；
(5)终端单站(UE monostatic)模式；
(6)终端-终端双站(UE-UE bistatic)模式。
在一些实施例中，“感知对象”、“被测对象”、“被测物体”、“感知目标”、“目标物体”、“目标对象”等术语可以相互替换。
图1B是根据本公开实施例示出的ISAC系统感知模式的一种示意图，如图1B所示，对上述六 种模式进行解释。
模式1(mode 1)：基站A自发自收(即TRP mono-static)。基站A发送感知参考信号，感知参考信号经过被测对象O1后，基站接收反射/散射的感知参考信号并测量。
模式2(mode 2)：基站A发基站B收(即TRP-TRP bi-static)。基站A发送感知参考信号，感知参考信号经过被测对象O2后，基站B接收反射/散射的感知参考信号并测量。
模式3(mode 3)：终端A发基站A收(即UE-TRP bi-static)。终端A发送感知参考信号，感知信号参考经过被测对象O3后，基站接收反射/散射的感知参考信号并测量。
模式4(mode 4)：基站B发终端B收(即TRP-UE bi-static)。基站B发送感知参考信号，感知参考信号经过被测对象O4后，终端B接收反射/散射的感知参考信号并测量。
模式5(mode 5)：终端A自发自收(即UE mono-static)。终端A发送感知参考信号，感知参考信号经过被测对象O5后，终端A接收反射/散射的感知参考信号并测量。
模式6(mode 6)：终端A发终端B收(即UE-UE bi-static)。终端A发送感知参考信号，感知参考信号经过被测对象O6后，终端B接收反射/散射的感知参考信号并测量。
在一些实施例中，上述六种模式可以分为两类。第一类为单站(mono-static)，也即感知参考信号的发送节点和感知参考信号的接收节点部署在同一设备上；第二类为双站(bi-static)，也即感知参考信号的发送节点和感知参考信号的接收节点部署在不同设备上。
在上述感知网络中，为了提供高性能的感知服务，感知参考信号应该尽量在频域、时域以及空域上占用更多的资源，但是，这样又会降低感知网络中的资源利用效率。
那么，如何提高感知网络中的资源利用效率是亟待解决的问题。
本公开实施例提供一种通信方法、通信设备、通信系统、存储介质及程序产品，以提高感知网络中的资源利用效率。
在一些实施例中，通信系统包括：感知功能设备(即第一节点)、第一感知发送节点、第二感知发送节点、第一感知接收节点、第二感知接收节点以及被测对象。
在一些实施例中，第一感知发送节点为用于探测被测对象的感知发送节点。在一些实施例中，第一感知发送节点的数量可以为一个或多个。
在一些实施例中，第一感知接收节点为用于探测被测对象的感知接收节点。在一些实施例中，第一感知接收节点的数量可以为一个或多个。
在一些实施例中，第二感知发送节点为用于跟踪被测对象的感知发送节点。在一些实施例中，第二感知发送节点的数量可以为一个或多个。
在一些实施例中，第二感知接收节点为用于跟踪被测对象的感知接收节点。在一些实施例中，第二感知接收节点的数量可以为一个或多个。
在一些实施例中，在单站感知模式下，感知发送节点和感知接收节点可以为同一节点。
在一些实施例中，在双站感知模式下，感知发送节点和感知接收节点可以为不同节点。
在一些实施例中，在感知网络中，用于探测被测对象的感知节点(如第一感知发送节点、第一感知接收节点)的数量可以大于或等于用于跟踪被测对象的感知节点(如第二感知发送节点、第二感知接收节点)的数量，从而提高感知网络中感知资源的利用效率。在一示例中，在多个第一感知发送节点中，部分或者全部的第一感知发送节点被复用为第二感知发送节点。相应的，在多个第一感知接收节点中，部分或者全部的第一感知接收节点被复用为第二感知接收节点。
在一些实施例中，被测对象的数量可以为一个或多的。在一示例中，被测对象的数量为多个，被测对象可以包括第一被测对象和第二被测对象。
在一些实施例中，上述通信系统还可以包括其他感知发送节点和其他感知接收节点，更多的感知发送节点向更多的感知接收节点发送更多的参考信号，以获得更多的测量量，使得能够基于更多的测量量对被测对象进行探测，从而提高探测的效率。
在一些实施例中，每个感知接收节点可以接收一个或多个感知发送节点发送的感知参考信号。在一示例中，感知参考信号也可以被称为参考信号(记为RS)。
在一些实施例中，感知功能设备已知每个感知发送节点和每个感知接收节点的位置。
在一些实施例中，一个感知发送节点可以关联一个或多个感知接收节点。这些感知接收节点能够对关联的感知发送节点发送的参考信号进行处理，而不对非关联的感知发送节点发送的参考信号进行响应。
在一些实施例中，一个感知发送节点关联一个感知接收节点，该感知发送节点和关联的感知接收节点可以组成感知节点对。在一示例中，第一感知发送节点与第一感知接收节点关联，第一感知发送节点和第一感知接收节点组成一个感知节点对；第二感知发送节点与第二感知接收节点关联，第二感知发送节点和第二感知接收节点组成一个感知节点对。
在一些实施例中，“探测(detection)”、“初始探测(initial detection)”、“测量(measurement)”、“定位 (positioning)”等术语可以相互替换。
下面，以STN A、SRN A、STN B和SRN B这一系统架构为例，对上述通信方案进行说明。其中，STN A与SRN A组成感知节点对A，STN B与SRN B组成感知节点对B。
在一些实施例中，在单站感知模式下，STN A和SRN A可以部署于同一设备，STN A和SRN A可以部署于同一设备。
在一些实施例中，在多站感知模式下，STN A和SRN A可以部署于不同的两个设备，STN B和SRN B可以部署于不同的两个设备。
图2A是根据本公开实施例提供的通信方法的第一种示例性交互图。如图2A所示，本公开实施例涉及通信方法。由上述通信系统执行，该通信方法包括步骤S2101至步骤S2109。
在步骤S2101中，感知功能设备发送第四信息。
在一些实施例中，STN A接收第四信息。
在一些实施例中，感知功能设备可以为为STN A分别配置用于探测的资源，并通过第四信息向STN A进行指示。此时，第一感知发送节点可以包括STN A。
在一些实施例中，第四信息用于指示感知功能设备配置的用于探测的资源(如第二资源)。在一些实施例中，第四信息用于指示感知功能设备为STN A配置的用于探测的资源。在一些实施例中，第四信息用于指示感知功能设备为感知节点对A配置的用于探测的资源。在一示例中，用于探测的资源(如第二资源)也可以被称为探测资源。
在一些实施例中，第四信息可以为广播信息，并承载于广播消息中进行发送。在一些实施例中，感知功能设备可以为一个或者多个感知接收节点配置探测资源，并通过广播信息中的不同信息域向每个感知发送节点指示各自的探测资源。此时，第四信息可以用于指示一个或多个感知发送节点的探测资源。在一示例中，第四信息通过第一信息域指示STN A的探测资源，使得STN A在接收到第四信息后可以从第一信息域确定自身的探测资源。在一示例中，第四信息通过第一信息域指示STN A的探测资源以及第二信息域指示STN B的探测资源，使得STN A在接收到第四信息后可以从第二信息域确定自身的探测资源，STN B在接收到第四信息后可以从第二信息域确定自身的探测资源。
在一示例中，上述广播信息可以为系统信息，如主信息块(main information block，MIB)、系统信息块(systeminformation block，SIB)等。在一实施例中，SIB可以包括SIB1至SIBx中的至少之一，x为正整数。当然，第四信息还可以为其他系统信息，本公开实施例对此不作具体限定。
在一些实施例中，第四信息可以下行高层信令，并承载于高层消息中进行发送。在一些实施例中，感知功能设备可以为一个或者多个感知接收节点配置探测资源，并通过高层信令分别向每个感知发送节点指示各自的探测资源。此时，第四信息可以用于指示一个感知发送节点的探测资源。在一示例中，发送给STN A的第四信息指示STN A的探测资源，使得STN A在接收到第四信息后可以确定自身的探测资源。
在一示例中，上述下行高层信令可以包括无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)消息、媒体接入控制(media access control，MAC)控制单元(control element，CE)、下行控制信息(downlink control information，DCI)、物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel，PDCCH)、物理下行共享信道(physical downlink share channel，PDSCH)、非接入层(non access stratrm，NAS)消息等中的信令。当然，第四信息还可以为其他下行高层信令，本公开实施例对此不作具体限定。
在一些实施例中，探测资源可以包括以下至少之一：用于探测的一个或多个参考信号(如第一参考信号)的配置以及与用于探测的参考信号的配置关联的感知节点。在一示例中，用于探测的参考信号(如第一参考信号)可以被称为探测参考信号，用于探测的一个或多个参考信号的配置(如第一参考信号的配置)可以被称为探测参考信号的配置。在一些实施例中，不同的探测参考信号可以具有不同的空间特性以及对处理能力的需求也不同，因此，不同的探测参考信号的配置关联的感知节点可以是不同的。
在一些实施例中，探测参考信号的配置可以包括第一指示信息和第一配置信息，此时，第一指示信息与第一配置关联。在一些实施例中，第一指示信息用于指示参考信号的用途(usage)为探测。在一些实施例中，第一配置信息用于指示一个或多个参考信号。在一些实施例中，第一指示信息是用来指示第一配置信息所指示的参考信号的用途。在一示例中，第一指示信息可以为信元“usage”，信元“usage”的值为第一值(如0)，以此表示参考信号的用途为探测。在一示例中，第一指示信息可以为信元“usage”，信元“usage”的值为第一值(如0)，以此表示参考信号的用途为初始探测。在一示例中，信元“usage”信元可以与参考信号的配置1、配置2、配置3关联，那么，配置1对应的参考信号1、配置2对应的参考信号2以及配置3对应的参考信号3用于探测被测对象。换言之，参考信号1、参考信号2和参考信号3为探测参考信号。
在一些实施例中，探测参考信号的配置也可以仅包括第一配置信息。此时，第四信息承载于用于配置探测资源的消息中，也就是说，第一配置信息指示的一个或多个参考信号的用途被缺省配置为探测。在一些实施例中，探测参考信号的配置也可以仅包括第一指示信息。此时，也探测参考信号的配置可以是协议 规定的，也就是说，一个或多个参考信号是已知的，通过第一指示信息来配置这些参考信号的用途。
在一些实施例中，第一配置信息指示的参考信号为多个，这些参考信号可以属于同一参考信号组(RS group)，也可以属于不同的参考信号组。换言之，感知功能设备可以为STN A配置一个或多个参考信号组，每个参考信号组包括一个或多个参考信号，这些参考信号的用途为探测。
在一些实施例中，第一配置信息可以包括一个或多个配置索引(index)。通过这些配置索引，可以指示一个或多个参考信号。
在一些实施例中，第一配置信息可以包括一个或多个配置参数。通过这些配置参数，可以指示一个或多个参考信号。在一些实施例中，一个或多个配置参数可以包括参考信号在时域的配置参数、参考信号在频域的配置参数和参考信号在空域的配置参数中的至少之一。在一示例中，时域配置参数可以包括感知帧的时长、时域密度等。在一示例中，频域配置参数可以包括带宽、频域密度等。在一示例中，空域配置参数可以包括波束方向、波束宽度等。
在一些实施例中，属于同一参考信号组的多个参考信号的配置可以是不同的。在一些实施例中，参考信号的配置可以包括参考信号在时域、频域、空域至少之一上的配置。在一些实施例中，不同参考信号在时域、频域、空域至少之一上的配置是不同的。在一些实施例中，不同参考信号在时域、频域、空域上的配置均为不同的。在本公开实施例中，由于多个探测参考信号的配置不同，能够为被测对象的探测提供更为多样的探测参考信号，从而提供更为精确的探测结果，提高探测的效率。
在一些实施例中，探测参考信号的配置还可以包括第四指示信息，第四指示信息用于指示参考信号的发送周期。此时，发送周期是由感知功能设备配置的。在一些实施例中，发送周期可以是针对参考信号进行配置的，也就是说，不同的参考信号可以配置不同的发送周期。在一些实施例中，发送周期可以是针对参考信号组进行配置的，也就是说，不同的参考信号组可以配置不同的发送周期，那么，属于同一参考信号组的参考信号配置的发送周期相同，属于不同参考信号组的参考信号配置的发送周期不同。
在一些实施例中，发送周期还可以是根据协议规定的，在此情况下，探测参考信号的配置可以不包括第四指示信息。
在一些实施例中，探测资源还可以包括第五指示信息。第五指示信息用于指示与上述多个参考信号的配置关联的感知节点。在一些实施例中，第五指示信息可以指示与上述多个参考信号的配置关联的感知节点，如STN A、SRN A或感知节点对A。在一些实施例中，第五指示信息可以指示与上述多个参考信号的配置关联的感知发送节点，如STN A。在一些实施例中，第五指示信息可以指示与上述多个参考信号的配置关联的感知接收节点，如SRN A。在一些实施例中，第五指示信息可以指示与上述多个参考信号的配置关联的感知节点对，如感知节点对A。在一些实施例中，第五指示信息可以指示与上述多个参考信号的配置关联的感知发送节点、感知接收节点以及感知节点对中的至少之一，如STN A、SRN A和感知节点对A中的至少之一。
在一示例中，第五指示信息可以包括STN A的标识和SRN A的标识中的至少之一。在一示例中，第五指示信息可以包括感知节点对A的标识。在一示例中，第五指示信息可以包括感知节点对A的标识以及STN A的标识和SRN A的标识中的至少之一。
在一些实施例中，SRN A可以与上述多个参考信号的配置中的一个或多个关联，在此情况下，SRN A能够基于关联的参考信号探测被测对象。在一些实施例中，同一参考信号的配置可以关联于一个或多个感知接收节点，配置给不同感知接收节点的参考信号的配置中可以包括相同的配置。
在一些实施例中，不同的参考信号具有相同的空间特性、对处理能力的需求相同等，在此情况下，与参考信号的配置关联的感知节点可以是缺省设置的，探测参考信号的配置可以不包括第五指示信息。
在一些实施例中，第四信息可以包括第一指示信息、第一配置信息、第四指示信息以及第五指示信息中的至少之一。
在一些实施例中，“参考信号”、“探测参考信号”、“用于探测的参考信号”、“用途为探测的参考信号”等术语可以相互替换。
在一示例中，图3A是根据本公开实施例提供的探测资源的一种示意图。如图3A所示，感知功能设备为STN A配置的探测资源可以包括3种参考信号的配置，如配置1、配置2、配置3。其中，配置1对应的参考信号为参考信号1、配置2对应的参考信号为参考信号2、配置3对应的参考信号为参考信号3。参考信号1、参考信号2和参考信号3在时域和频域上的配置均不同。参考信号1、参考信号2和参考信号3属于同一参考信号组，该参考信号组的发送周期为T。参考信号1、参考信号2和参考信号3按照T在时域上周期发送。
在步骤S2102中，STN A发送探测参考信号。
在一些实施例中，SRN A接收STN A发送探测参考信号。在一些实施例中，STN A发送的探测参考信号由被测对象反射或散射至SRN A。
在一些实施例中，如果SRN A是基站(BS)，则可以直接通过SF来配置作为SRN的BS需要监听的 探测参考信号的配置。在一些实施例中，如果SRN A是UE，对于处于RRC空闲态(idle态)的UE来说，可以通过寻呼信令来配置作为SRN的UE需要监听的探测参考信号的配置。在一些实施例中，如果SRN A是UE，对于处于RRC连接态(connected态)的UE来说，可以通过高层信令来配置作为SRN的UE其需要监听的探测参考信号的配置。在一示例中，高层信令可以为上述下行高层信令。
在一些实施例中，STN A在接收第四信息之后，可以确定感知功能设备为自身配置的探测资源，然后，STN A使用自身的探测资源，发送探测参考信号。
在一些实施例中，STN A可以发送一个或多个探测参考信号。在一些实施例中，STN A关联的SRN A可以为多个，各个SRN A接收一个或多个探测参考信号。
在一些实施例中，STN A发送的探测参考信号可以为探测资源中的部分或全部参考信号。
在一些实施例中，STN A发送的探测参考信号经由与SRN A之间视距路径和非视距路径中的至少之一到达SRN A。在一些实施例中，如果STN A与SRN A之间存在非视距路径，则表示STN A与SRN A存在被测对象。
在一些实施例中，STN A与SRN A之间非视距路径上的被测对象与STN B与SRN B之间非视距路径上的被测对象可以为同一对象，也可以为不同对象。
在步骤S2103中，SRN A基于探测参考信号，获得第二探测数据。
在一实施例中，SRN A对自身接收到的每个探测参考信号进行计算，获得相应的第二探测数据。
在一示例中，第二探测数据可以包括到达角(angle of arrival，AOA)、到达时间(time of arrival，TOA)、到达时间差(time difference of arrival，TDOA)、往返时延(round trip time，RTT)、接收强度(received signal strength，RSS)、参考信号接收质量(reference signal receiving quality，RSRQ)、参考信号接收功率(reference signal receiving power，RSRP)等。当然，第二探测数据还可以包括其他测量量，本公开实施例对此不作具体限定。
在一些实施例中，在SRN A接收到多个探测参考信号的情况下，SRN A可以获取多个探测参考信号的测量量(如第二探测数据)。在一些实施例中，在SRN A接收到一个探测参考信号的情况下，SRN A可以获取该探测参考信号的测量量(如第二探测数据)。
在步骤S2104中，SRN A根据第二探测数据，确定第一探测数据。
在一些实施例中，SRN A从第二探测数据中确定有效的探测数据(如第一探测数据)，第一探测数据能够供感知功能设备确定是否探测到被测物体。在一些实施例中，SRN A确定的第一探测数据，能够供感知功能设备确定SRN A是否探测到被测物体。
在一些实施例中，第一探测数据为感知接收节点发送给感知功能设备的第二探测数据。在一些实施例中，感知接收节点通过测量探测参考信号可以得到多个第二探测数据，第一探测数据为多个第二探测数据中的一个或多个。
在一些实施例中，在SRN A接收到一个探测参考信号的情况下，SRN A可以获得一个第二探测数据。那么，SRN A可以将得获得的一个第二探测数据确定为第一探测数据。
在一些实施例中，在SRN A接收到多个参考信号的情况下，SRN A可以获得多个第二探测数据。那么，SRN A可以将得获得的多个第二探测数据中的一个或者多个确定为第一探测数据。
在一些实施例中，SRN A可以基于以下至少之一确定第一探测数据：探测参考信号的信号质量、来自同一感知发送节点的探测参考信号的数量、探测数据的上报数量。
在一些实施例中，SRN A可以基于多个探测参考信号的信号质量，从多个第二探测数据中确定第一探测数据。其中，探测参考信号的信号质量越好，其关联的第二探测数据被确定为第一探测数据的可能性越大。
在一些实施例中，在SRN A接收到多个探测参考信号的情况下，多个探测参考信号可以来自不同的感知发送节点，那么，SRN A可以选择发送探测参考信号的数量，从多个第二探测数据确定第一探测数据。在一示例中，SRN A可以选择发送探测参考信号的数量达到预设阈值的STN A的第二探测数据作为第一探测数据。在一些实施例中，预设阈值可以是有感知功能设备配置的，也可以是协议规定的，还可以为感知接收节点根据自身实现确定的。
在一些实施例中，SRN A可以根据探测上报配置中配置的探测数据的上报数量，从多个第二探测数据中选择满足上报数量的第二探测数据作为第一探测数据。
在一些实施例中，对于第一探测数据的选择还可以是随机的、任意的。也就是说，SRN A可以从得到的多个第二探测数据中随机选择一个或多个作为第一探测数据。
在一些实施例中，步骤S2104可以被省略，SRN A直接将获取到的第二探测数据全部作为第一探测数据上报给感知功能设备。
在步骤S2105中，SRN A发送第一信息。
在一些实施例中，SRN A发送第一信息。
在一些实施例中，感知功能设备接收SRN A发送的第一信息。
在一些实施例中，SRN A根据第二探测数据确定第一探测数据之后，基于第一探测数据确定第一信息。
在一些实施例中，第一信息包括感知接收节点的感知信息。在一些实施例中，第一信息包括SRN A的感知信息。
在一些实施例中，第一信息可以包括第一事件信息、第一探测数据以及被测对象的探测结果中的至少之一。在一些实施例中，SRN A确定的第一信息可以包括第一事件信息、第一探测数据以及SRN A探测到的被测对象的探测结果中的至少之一。在一示例中，第一信息中可以包括第一事件信息和被测对象的探测结果。在一示例中，第一信息中可以包括第一探测数据。
在一些实施例中，第一事件信息用于指示探测到被测对象。在一些实施例中，SRN A发送的第一信息可以包括SRN A的第一事件信息，以向感知功能设备指示SRN A探测到被测对象。
在一些实施例中，SRN A在确定第一探测数据之后，可以对第一探测数据进行处理，以确定自身是否探测到被测对象。在SRN A确定探测到被测对象情况下，第一信息可以包括SRN A的第一事件信息。
在一些实施例中，SRN A探测到的被测对象与SRN B探测到的被测对象可以包括同一被测对象，也可以包括不同的被测对象。
在一些实施例中，被测对象的探测结果是基于第一探测数据确定的。在一些实施例中，SRN A对第一探测数据进行处理，除了可以确定自身探测到被测对象之外，还可以获得探测到的被测对象的探测结果。在一示例中，被测对象的探测结果可以包括被测对象的位置、尺寸、速度、加速度等。在一示例中，SRN A根据AOA、TOA、TDOA、RTT、RSS、RSRQ以及RSRP中的至少之一对被测对象进行定位，由此可以确定被测对象的位置、尺寸、速度等。
在一些实施例中，第一信息可以上行高层信令，并承载于高层消息中进行发送。在一示例中，上述上行高层信令可以包括RRC消息、上行控制信息(uplink control information，UCI)、PUCCH、PDSCH、NAS消息等中的信令。当然，第一信息还可以为其他上行高层信令，本公开实施例对此不作具体限定。
在一些实施例中，在SRN A探测到被测对象的情况下，执行步骤S2105。在一些实施例中，在SRN A未探测到被测对象的情况下，步骤S2105至步骤S2109被省略。
在一些实施例中，在SRN A向感知功能设备发送第一探测数据的情况下，无论SRN A是否探测到被测对象，均执行步骤S2105，此时，第一信息包括第一探测数据。
至此，完成了STN A和SRN A对被测对象的探测过程。
在步骤S2106中，SRN A发送第三信息。
在一些实施例中，SRN A发送第三信息。
在一些实施例中，感知功能设备接收SRN A发送的第三信息。
在一些实施例中，第三信息用于指示感知接收节点对同时跟踪多个被测对象的能力。在一些实施例中，第三信息用于指示感知接收节点对同时跟踪多个被测对象的支持能力。在一些实施例中，第三信息用于指示感知接收节点是否支持同时跟踪多个被测对象。在一些实施例中，第三信息用于指示感知接收节点是否支持在同一时间跟踪多个被测对象。在一些实施例中，“同时”、“同一时间”可以理解为同一时段，“同时跟踪多个被测对象”、“在同一时间跟踪多个被测对象”可以理解为在同一个时间段上跟踪多个被测对象。
在一些实施例中，SRN A发送的第三信息用于指示SRN A是否支持同时跟踪多个被测对象。
在一些实施例中，第三信息用于指示感知接收节点支持同时跟踪多个被测对象。或者，在一些实施例中，第三信息用于指示感知接收节点不支持同时跟踪多个被测对象。在一些实施例中，SRN A发送的第三信息用于指示SRN A支持同时跟踪多个被测对象。或者，在一些实施例中，SRN A发送的第三信息用于指示SRN A不支持同时跟踪多个被测对象。
在一些实施例中，感知功能设备根据第三信息可以为感知发送节点和感知接收节点配置用于跟踪的资源(如第一资源)。
在一些实施例中，感知功能设备根据SRN A发送的第三信息，为STN A配置用于跟踪的资源。在一些实施例中，感知功能设备根据SRN A发送的第三信息，为感知节点对A配置用于跟踪的资源。
在一些实施例中，步骤S2106可以被省略，在此情况下，感知功能设备可以根据缺省设置确定SRN A是否支持在同一时间跟踪多个被测对象，进而基于此为STN A和SRN A配置用于跟踪被测对象的资源。
在步骤S2107中，感知功能设备发送第二信息。
在一些实施例中，STN A接收第二信息。
在一些实施例中，感知功能设备根据SRN A发送的第一信息，发送第二信息。在一些实施例中，感知功能设备根据SRN A发送的第一信息和第三信息，发送第二信息。
在一些实施例中，第二信息用于指示跟踪被测对象的资源(如第一资源)。在一些实施例中，第二信息用于指示感知功能设备为STN A配置的用于跟踪的资源。在一些实施例中，第二信息用于指示感知功能 设备为感知节点对A配置的用于跟踪被测对象的资源。在一示例中，用于跟踪被测对象的资源也可以被称为跟踪资源。在一些实施例中，跟踪资源可以随着被测对象的移动而更新。
在一些实施例中，在SRN A探测到一个或多个被测对象的情况下，感知功能设备可以为每个被测对象配置跟踪资源，并向用于跟踪该被测对象的感知节点发送第二信息，以指示该被测对象的跟踪资源。在一些实施例中，SRN A探测到被测对象O1(如第一被测对象)，那么，感知功能设备可以为被测对象O1配置跟踪资源，并向STN A发送第二信息，以指示被测对象O1的跟踪资源。在一些实施例中，SRN A探测到被测对象O1，SRN B也探测到被测对象O1，那么，感知功能设备可以分别为STN A配置被测对象O1的跟踪资源以及为STN B配置被测对象O1的跟踪资源，并向STN A发送第二信息，以指示被测对象O1的跟踪资源，以及向STN B发送第二信息，以指示被测对象O1的跟踪资源。此时，向STN A发送的第二信息可以指示被测对象O1的跟踪资源中与STN A和/或SRN A关联的部分，向STN B发送的第二信息可以指示被测对象O1的跟踪资源中与STN B和/或SRN B关联的部分。
在一些实施例中，第二信息可以为广播信息，并承载于广播消息中进行发送。在一些实施例中，感知功能设备可以为一个或者多个感知接收节点配置跟踪资源，并通过广播信息中的不同信息域向每个感知发送节点指示各自的跟踪资源。此时，第二信息可以用于指示一个或多个感知发送节点的跟踪资源。在一示例中，第二信息通过第一信息域指示STN A的跟踪资源，使得STN A在接收到第二信息后可以从第一信息域确定自身的跟踪资源。在一示例中，第二信息通过第一信息域指示STN A的跟踪资源以及第二信息域指示STN B的跟踪资源，使得STN A在接收到第二信息后可以从第二信息域确定自身的跟踪资源，STN B在接收到第二信息后可以从第二信息域确定自身的跟踪资源。在一示例中，上述广播信息可以为系统信息，如MIB、SIB等。在一实施例中，SIB可以包括SIB1至SIBx中的至少之一。当然，第二信息还可以为其他系统信息，本公开实施例对此不作具体限定。
在一些实施例中，第二信息可以下行高层信令，并承载于高层消息中进行发送。在一些实施例中，感知功能设备可以为一个或者多个感知接收节点配置跟踪资源，并通过高层信令分别向每个感知发送节点指示各自的跟踪资源。此时，第二信息可以用于指示一个感知发送节点的跟踪资源。在一示例中，发送给STN A的第二信息指示STN A的跟踪资源，使得STN A在接收到第二信息后可以确定自身的跟踪资源。
在一示例中，上述下行高层信令可以包括RRC消息、MAC CE、DCI、PDCCH、PDSCH、NAS消息等中的信令。当然，第二信息还可以为其他下行高层信令，本公开实施例对此不作具体限定。
在一些实施例中，一个被测对象的跟踪资源可以包括以下至少之一：用于跟踪被测对象的感知节点、用于跟踪的一个或多个参考信号(如第二参考信号)的配置以及被测对象的跟踪优先级。在一示例中，用于跟踪的参考信号可以被称为跟踪参考信号，用于跟踪的一个或多个参考信号的配置(如第二参考信号的配置)可以被称为跟踪参考信号的配置。
在一些实施例中，用于跟踪被测对象的感知节点可以包括以下至少之一：用于跟踪被测对象的一个或多个感知发送节点、用于跟踪被测对象的一个或多个感知接收节点以及用于跟踪被测对象的一个或多个感知节点对。
在一些实施例中，用于跟踪被测对象的感知节点可以通过节点的标识进行指示。此时，第二信息包括第六指示信息，指示用于跟踪被测对象的感知节点。在一些实施例中，发给STN A的第二信息可以包括第六指示信息，用于指示用于跟踪被测对象的感知节点，如STN A和SRN A。在一示例中，第六指示信息可以包括STN A的标识和SRN A的标识中的至少之一。在一示例中，第六指示信息可以包括感知节点对A的标识。在一示例中，第五指示信息可以包括感知节点对A的标识以及STN A的标识和SRN A的标识中的至少之一。
在一些实施例中，在一个被测对象被一个感知接收节点探测到的情况下，用于跟踪该被测对象的感知节点可以包括探测到该被测对象的感知接收节点、其所关联的感知发送节点、其所属的感知节点对。在一些实施例中，在一个被测对象被多个感知接收节点探测到的情况下，用于跟踪该被测对象的感知节点可以包括探测到被测对象的多个感知接收节点、每个感知接收节点所关联的感知发送节点、每个感知接收节点所属的感知节点对。在一示例中，SRN A发送的第一信息指示SRN A探测到被测对象O1，那么，用于跟踪被测对象O1的感知节点包括：SRN A、STN A以及感知节点对A中的至少之一，此时，第六指示信息可以包括SRN A的标识、STN A的标识以及感知节点对A的标识中的至少之一。
在一些实施例中，在一个被测对象被多个感知接收节点探测到的情况下，感知功能设备可以从多个感知接收节点中选择满足预设条件的一个或多个感知接收节点用于跟踪该被测对象。在此情况下，用于跟踪上述一个被测对象的感知节点是用于探测该被测对象的感知节点中的一部分。换言之，探测到一个被测物体的感知节点中的一部分被复用跟踪该被测物体。
在一示例中，预设条件可以为距离被测对象最近、位于被测对象周围的预设范围内、参考信号接收质量超过预设阈值、参考信号的接收功率超过预设阈值等。在一些实施例中，预设条件可以是感知功能设备自行确定的，也可以是网络配置的，还可以是协议规定的。在一示例中，SRN A和SRN B探测到被测对 象O1，感知功能设备可以从SRN A和SRN B中选择距离被测对象O1最近的SRN A用于跟踪被测对象O1。此时，SRN A、STN A、感知节点对A既用于探测被测对象O1，又用于跟踪被测对象O1，SRN B、STN B、感知节点对B仅用于探测被测对象O1。
在一些实施例中，SRN A可以与上述多个参考信号的配置中的一个或多个关联，在此情况下，SRN A能够基于关联的参考信号跟踪被测对象。
在一些实施例中，同一参考信号的配置可以关联于一个或多个感知接收节点，配置给不同感知接收节点的参考信号的配置中可以包括相同的配置。
在一些实施例中，不同的参考信号具有相同的空间特性、对处理能力的需求相同等，在此情况下，与跟踪参考信号的配置关联的感知节点可以是缺省设置的，第二信息可以不包括第六指示信息。在一实施例中，与跟踪参考信号的配置关联的感知节点可以为与探测参考信号关联的感知节点。换言之，用于探测被测对象的感知节点继续用于被测对象的跟踪，此时，第二信息可以不包括第六指示信息。
在一些实施例中，跟踪参考信号的配置可以包括第二配置信息、第二指示信息以及第三指示信息中的至少之一。此时，第二指示信息与第二配置信息关联。在一些实施例中，第二信息还可以包括第二配置信息、第二指示信息以及第三指示信息中的至少之一。
在一些实施例中，第二指示信息用于指示参考信号的用途(usage)为跟踪。在一些实施例中，第二配置信息用于指示一个或多个参考信号。在一些实施例中，第二指示信息是用来指示第二配置信息所指示的参考信号的用途。在一示例中，第二指示信息可以为信元“usage”，信元“usage”的值为第二值(如1)，以此表示参考信号的用途为跟踪。在一示例中，信元“usage”信元可以与参考信号的配置3关联，那么，配置3对应的参考信号3用于跟踪被测对象。换言之，参考信号3为跟踪参考信号。
在一些实施例中，跟踪参考信号的配置也可以仅包括第二配置信息。此时，第二信息承载于用于配置跟踪资源的消息中，也就是说，第二配置信息指示的一个或多个参考信号的用途被缺省配置为跟踪。在一些实施例中，跟踪参考信号的配置也可以仅包括第二指示信息。此时，跟踪参考信号的配置可以是协议规定的，也就是说，一个或多个参考信号是已知的，通过第二指示信息来配置这些参考信号的用途为跟踪。在一些实施例中，跟踪参考信号可以复用探测参考信号的全部，此时，可以通过仅发送第二指示信息，以指示第一配置信息所指示的一个或多个参考信号的用途变更为“跟踪”，或者以指示第一配置信息所指示的一个或多个参考信号的用途增加“跟踪”。
在一些实施例中，第二配置信息指示的参考信号为多个，这些参考信号可以属于同一参考信号组(RS group)，也可以属于不同的参考信号组。换言之，感知功能设备可以为STN A配置一个或多个参考信号组，每个参考信号组包括一个或多个参考信号，这些参考信号的用途为跟踪。
在一些实施例中，第二配置信息可以包括一个或多个配置索引(index)。通过这些配置索引，可以指示一个或多个参考信号。
在一些实施例中，第二配置信息可以包括一个或多个配置参数。通过这些配置参数，可以指示一个或多个参考信号。在一些实施例中，一个或多个配置参数可以包括参考信号在时域的配置参数、参考信号在频域的配置参数和参考信号在空域的配置参数中的至少之一。在一示例中，时域配置参数可以包括感知帧的时长、时域密度等。在一示例中，频域配置参数可以包括带宽、频域密度等。在一示例中，空域配置参数可以包括波束方向、波束宽度等。
在一些实施例中，属于同一参考信号组的多个参考信号的配置可以是不同的。在一些实施例中，参考信号的配置可以包括参考信号在时域、频域、空域至少之一上的配置。在一些实施例中，不同参考信号在时域、频域、空域至少之一上的配置是不同的。在一些实施例中，不同参考信号在时域、频域、空域上的配置均为不同的。在本公开实施例中，由于多个跟踪参考信号的配置不同，能够为被测对象的跟踪提供更为多样的跟踪参考信号，从而提供更为精确的跟踪结果，提高跟踪的效率。
在一些实施例中，同一感知发送节点用于跟踪一个被测对象的跟踪参考信号可以为该感知发送节点的探测参考信号中的一个或多个。换言之，跟踪参考信号可以复用部分或全部的探测参考信号。
在一些实施例中，跟踪参考信号的配置还可以包括第三指示信息，第三指示信息用于指示被测对象的激活时长。在一些实施例中，跟踪参考信号在关联的激活时长内被激活，以用于跟踪被测对象。在一些实施例中，跟踪参考信号在关联的激活时长超时之后被去激活。在一些实施例中，激活时长是由感知功能设备配置的。在一些实施例中，激活时长可以是针对参考信号进行配置的，也就是说，不同的参考信号可以配置不同的激活时长。在一些实施例中，激活时长可以是针对参考信号组进行配置的，也就是说，不同的参考信号组可以配置不同的激活时长，那么，属于同一参考信号组的参考信号配置的激活时长相同，属于不同参考信号组的参考信号配置的激活时长不同。
在一些实施例中，激活时长还可以是根据协议规定的，在此情况下，跟踪参考信号的配置可以不包括第三指示信息。
在一些实施例中，跟踪参考信号的激活或去激活还可以通过下行指令来指示。在一示例中，SF向STN  A发送第五信息，第五信息用于指示一个或多个跟踪参考信号激活，或者第五信息用于指示一个或多个跟踪参考信号去激活。在一示例中，第五信息可以为上述下行高层信令。
在一些实施例中，同一感知接收节点还可以探测到多个被测对象。在此情况下，感知功能设备还可以为每个被测对象配置跟踪优先级，使得感知节点可以先根据跟踪优级对自身关联的多个被测对象进行跟踪。这里，感知节点关联的被测对象可以理解为感知接收节点探测到的被测对象，也可以理解为感知发送节点关联的感知接收节点探测到的被测对象，还可以理解为感知节点对中你的感知接收节点探测到的被测对象。
在一些实施例中，跟踪资源还包括一个或多个被测对象的跟踪优先级。在一些实施例中，第二信息可以包括第七指示信息，第七指示信息用于指示感知发送节点关联的一个或多个被测对象的跟踪优先级。在一示例中，SRN A探测到被测对象O1(如第一被测对象)和被测对象O2(如第二被测对象)，第七指示信息中可以包括被测对象O1的优先级和被测对象O2的优先级。在一示例中，若被测对象O1的跟踪优先级高于被测对象O2的跟踪优先级，则STN A和SRN A优先跟踪被测对象O1。在一示例中，STN A优先发送被测对象O1关联的跟踪参考信号。在一示例中，SRN A优先处理被测对象O1关联的跟踪参考信号，以得到被测对象O1的跟踪结果。
在一些实施例中，第二信息可以包括第六指示信息、第一配置信息、第二指示信息、第三指示信息以及第七指示信息中的至少之一。
在一些实施例中，“参考信号”、“跟踪参考信号”、“用于跟踪的参考信号”、“用途为跟踪的参考信号”等术语可以相互替换。
在步骤S2108中，STN A发送跟踪参考信号。
在一些实施例中，SRN A接收跟踪参考信号。
在一些实施例中，SRN A接收STN A发送探测参考信号。在一些实施例中，STN A发送的探测参考信号由被测对象反射或散射至SRN A。
在一些实施例中，STN A在接收第二信息之后，可以确定感知功能设备为自身配置的跟踪资源，然后，STN A使用自身的跟踪资源，发送跟踪参考信号。
在一些实施例中，STN A可以发送一个或多个跟踪参考信号。在一些实施例中，STN A关联的SRN A可以为多个，各个SRN A接收一个或多个跟踪参考信号。
在一些实施例中，STN A发送的跟踪参考信号可以为跟踪资源中的部分或全部参考信号。
在一些实施例中，STN A发送的跟踪参考信号经由与SRN A之间视距路径和非视距路径中的至少之一到达SRN A。在一些实施例中，STN A与SRN A之间非视距路径随着被测对象的移动而变化。
在一示例中，图3B是根据本公开实施例提供的跟踪资源的一种示意图。如图3B所示，在t1时刻，SRN A探测到被测对象O1。感知功能设备为STN A配置的被测对象O1的跟踪资源可以为参考信号的配置3。那么，在t1时刻之后，STN A可以发送参考信号3，以对被测对象O1进行跟踪。
在一些实施例中，STN A在发送跟踪参考信号的同时可能还需要发送其他探测参考信号。也就是说，发送探测参考信号与发送跟踪参考信号在时间上有重叠，此时，由于被测对象的跟踪优先级高于被测物体的探测，所以，STN A优先发送跟踪参考信号。
在步骤S2109中，SRN A跟踪被测对象。
在一些实施例中，SRN A基于接收到的一个或多个跟踪参考信号，对被测对象进行跟踪。
在一些实施例中，SRN A对自身接收到的每个跟踪参考信号进行计算，获得被测对象的跟踪数据。在一些实施例中，SRN B对被测对象的跟踪数据进行处理，以得到被测度对象的跟踪结果，如位置、姿态、速度等。在一些实施例中，SRN B还可以将被测对象的跟踪数据发送给感知功能节点，由感知功能节点对跟踪数据进行处理，以得到被测度对象的跟踪结果。
在一些实施例中，被测对象的跟踪结果随着被测对象的移动而变化。
在一示例中，跟踪数据可以包括AOA、TOA、TDOA、RTT、RSS、RSRQ、RSRP等。当然，跟踪数据还可以包括其他测量量，本公开实施例对此不作具体限定。
在一些实施例中，在SRN A接收到多个跟踪参考信号的情况下，SRN A可以获取多个跟踪参考信号的测量量。在一些实施例中，在SRN A接收到一个跟踪参考信号的情况下，SRN A可以获取该跟踪参考信号的测量量。
至此，针对探测到的被测对象，完成了STN A和SRN A对该被测对象的跟踪过程。
在一些实施例中，感知系统中的其他感知节点，如STN B和SRN B也可以执行上述步骤S2101至步骤S2108，以实现对被测对象的探测和跟踪。为了说明书简洁，在此不做赘述。

在一些实施例中，用于initial detection的sensing RS是需要持续发送的，有点类似于同步信息块(SSB)，按照周期一直发。当检测到SO后，SF将指示某个STN发送用于跟踪(tracking)的sensing RS。tracking sensing RS是在探测到SO之后才发的，而且还会随着SO的移动等而更新。
在一些实施例中，SF为STN配置sensing RS group，该group中包含N个sensing RS configuration。N≥1。
在一些实施例中，每一个sensing RS configuration可以有不同的配置参数，包括：带宽、频域密度、感知帧时长、时域密度、空间参数等。空间参数包括波束方向、波束宽度等。
在一些实施例中，sensing RS group以周期T发送。
在一些实施例中，由于N个sensing RS configuration空间特性以及所需要计算处理能力不同，SF还可以配置与N个sensing RS configuration对应的SRN。如果SRN是BS，则可以直接通过SF来配置作为SRN的BS需要监听的sensing RS configuration。如果SRN是UE，对于RRC idle态UE可以通过寻呼信令来配置作为SRN的UE其需要监听的sensing RS configuration，对于RRC connected UE可以通过高层信令来配置作为SRN的UE其需要监听的sensing RS configuration。
在一些实施例中，sensing RS group作为initial detection的参考信号，可以被配置其用途为“initial detection”。在一些实施例中，sensing RS group中的sensing RS还可以复用做SO tracking(被测对象跟踪)，例如，其配置参数中包含用途“tracking”。
在一些实施例中，SRN(如SRN A)接收和测量sensing RS group中的一个或者多个sensing RS configuration后，根据测量量(如第一探测数据)确定是否探测到SO，以及SO的初始探测结果(位置、尺寸大小、速度等)。如果探测到SO，则SRN A将探测SO的事件(如第一事件信息)以及初始探测结果(如被测对象的探测结果)上报给SF。或者，SRN A将测量结果(如第一探测数据)上报给SF，由SF来确定是否探测到SO、以及探测到的SO的初始探测结果。如果探测到SO，SF可以根据SO的初始探测结果为该SO配置合适的感知资源(如第一资源)。
在一些实施例中，为SO配置合适的感知资源包括：STN-SRN pair、sensing RS configuration以及SO的tracking优先级。
在一些实施例中，STN-SRN pair。可以配置一个或者多个pair。例如，SF根据SO的初始探测位置，为SO配置距离SO较近的STN/SRN pair以增加sensing RS的接收质量。或者，也可以不配置该pair，还是继续用initial detection的STN-SRN。
在一些实施例中，sensing RS configuration。该sensing RS configuration可以是各个STN所发送的一个或者多个sensing RS configuration。SF依据初始探测结果，可以为SO分配合适的sensing RS configuration(如带宽、频域密度、感知帧时长、时域密度、空间参数等)。
在一些实施例中，该sensing RS可以被配置用途为“tracking”。标记tracking的原因是，对于同一个STN，可能出现tracking sensing RS(如跟踪参考信号)与initial detection sensing RS(如探测参考信号)有重叠的情况，在该情况下，可以优先tracking sensing RS的发送(也即SO tracking优先级更高)。
在一些实施例中，sensing RS configuration可以包含激活时长，例如超时就去激活，或者sensing RS可以被信令去激活。
在一些实施例中，可能出现多个SO的情况。此时，SF要针对不同的SO分别进行上述配置。
在一些实施例中，不同的SO的tracking可以分优先级。例如，当STN要发送多个SO的tracking RS时，保证高优先级的tracking RS优先发送，SRN要处理多个SO的tracking RS时，保证高优先级的tracking RS优先处理。
在一些实施例中，是否可以同时tracking多个SO可以作为SRN的能力。SRX可以向SF上报自己是否支持tracking多个SO，以便于SF对SRN进行合理的配置。
在一些实施例中，initial detection sensing RS是由广域覆盖的STN-SRN收发，但探测到某个SO后，SF将根据SO的粗估位置、速度等配置与SO对应的广域或微域覆盖的STN-SRN收发traking sensing RS。
