Coexistence schemes for wireless communication and sensing

An apparatus for wireless communication comprising at least one processor, configured to implement a method, the at least one processor configured to:

• transmit, by a wireless device, a waveform that includes a signal structure,
• wherein the signal structure includes a plurality of data signals,
• wherein the signal structure includes a plurality of sensing signals configured to reflect from an object in an area where the wireless device is operating resulting in a reflected waveform that comprises at least some of the plurality of sensing signals to be received by the wireless device, and
• wherein the plurality of data signals are spread using different spreading codes than that used to spread the plurality of sensing signals;
• receive, by the wireless device, the reflected waveform;
• and
• determine, by processing the reflected waveform, one or more parameters of the object.
