Sensing resource configuration and coexistence handling in cellular systems

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a transceiver configured to
• receive a time domain resource configuration indicating a time domain resource for sensing operations by the UE, and
• receive a frequency domain resource configuration indicating a bandwidth part (BWP) for the sensing operations by the UE;
• and
• a processor operably coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to perform the sensing operations using the indicated time domain resource and the indicated bandwidth part,
• wherein the transceiver is further configured to:
• transmit assistance information relating to interference between the sensing operations by the UE and cellular communication by the UE, and
• receive an interference measurement configuration for measurement by the UE of the interference.

A base station (BS), comprising:

• a transceiver configured to
• transmit a time domain resource configuration indicating a time domain resource for sensing operations by a user equipment (UE), and
• transmit a frequency domain resource configuration indicating a bandwidth part (BWP) for the sensing operations by the UE,
• wherein sensing operations are performed using the indicated time domain resource and the indicated bandwidth part, and
• wherein the transceiver is further configured to:
• receive assistance information relating to interference between the sensing operations by the UE and cellular communication by the UE, and
• transmit an interference measurement configuration for measurement by the UE of the interference.
