Abstract
In an aspect, first and second UEs each detect a target associated with a deflection point for a transmission beam from a BS to the respective UE, and each transmit, to the BS, information associated with the target. The BS transmits STRS configuration information to the first and second UEs. The BS multicasts, to the first and second UEs, an STRS on the transmission beam in accordance with the STRS configuration information.
Claims26
A method of operating a network component, comprising:
- receiving, from a first user equipment (UE), information associated with a first target, the first target associated with a deflection point for a transmission beam from the network component to the first UE;
- receiving, from a second UE, information associated with a second target, the second target being a deflection point for the transmission beam from the network component to the second UE;
- transmitting, to the first UE and the second UE, sensing-tracking reference signal (STRS) configuration information that is based on the information associated with the first target and the second target;
- multicasting, at least to the first UE and the second UE, a sensing-tracking reference signal (STRS) on the transmission beam in accordance with the STRS configuration information;
- wherein the first target and the second target correspond to a common target;
- and
- wherein the STRS configuration information is transmitted without the network component having knowledge that the first target and the second target correspond to the common target.
