System, method, and device for supporting communication and sensing

A method by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a base station, sensing configuration information for a sensing operation;
• and
• performing a communication operation based on the sensing configuration information,
• wherein the sensing configuration information includes information of a first sensing signal and a second sensing signal for the sensing operation, the second sensing signal being reflected from a target based on the sensing configuration information and the first sensing signal, and
• wherein the sensing configuration information includes resource allocation information for the sensing operation.

A base station in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

• a transceiver;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the transceiver and configured to:
• transmit, to a user equipment (UE), sensing configuration information for a sensing operation;
• and
• transmit a first sensing signal for the sensing operation based on the sensing configuration information;
• and receive a second sensing signal reflected from a target based on the sensing configuration information and obtain sensing data based on the second sensing signal,
• wherein the sensing configuration information includes resource allocation information for the sensing operation.
