Abstract
Systems and methods for the generation of sensing signals and sensing signal configurations for a wireless communication network are provided. In an embodiment, a sensing node identifier (ID) associated with a network entity is determined. This sensing node ID is used to determine a sensing signal configuration, which includes a resource configuration and a symbol sequence. The resource configuration is selected from a set of physical resources associated with a wireless communication network. The symbol sequence is based on the sensing node ID and is specific to the network entity in the wireless communication network. A sensing signal can be transmitted according to the sensing signal configuration.
