Environment sensing using radio frequencies

Abstract

Disclosed are techniques for environment sensing by an electronic device, such as a user equipment (UE) or base station. In an aspect, the electronic device uses a radio frequency (RF) signal configured to transmit information on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols in accordance with a wireless communication standard, such as Fifth Generation (5G) New Radio (NR), for environment sensing. The electronic device configures one or more transmission parameters for the RF signal based on one or more factors related to a resolution to be provided by the RF signal, a type of application for which the environment sensing RF signal is being transmitted, capabilities of the UE, and the like. The electronic device then transmits the environment sensing RF signal, over an uplink, downlink, or sidelink, as appropriate to the type of electronic device, in accordance with the one or more transmission parameters.
