US 12,716,998 B2 · Landscape sensing using radio signals

Abstract

Systems and methods for landscape sensing using radio signals are provided. In some embodiments, a base station configured to communicate with a User Equipment (UE) includes a radio interface and processing circuitry configured to: obtain a plurality of channel measurements relating to the UE; and determine a landscape type in which the UE is operating based on the plurality of channel measurements. In this way, the base station can infer the UE's landscape without the need for any new sensor or radar infrastructure requirements. In this way, the signaling need between base stations can be reduced. In some embodiments, smaller dimension input features will reduce the computational complexity so that it can be implemented on an embedded base station hardware.

Dependent claims

A method performed by a base station for determining a landscape type surrounding a User Equipment, UE, served by the base station, the method comprising:

obtaining measurements related to a path-gain between the UE and a plurality of base stations including the serving base station, obtaining the measurements comprising receiving, from the plurality of base stations, the measurements related to the path-gain between the UE and the plurality of base stations based on uplink measurements;
and
determining the landscape type based on the obtained measurements and a classification model, determining the landscape type based on the obtained measurements comprising determining the landscape type using only strongest N measurements related to the path-gain between the UE and the plurality of base stations.
