Abstract
Disclosed are systems and techniques for efficient joint communications and radio frequency (RF) sensing. For example, a method for communications and sensing can include receiving, by a receiver, a first signal based on a reflection of a second signal from a target, wherein the first signal comprises a waveform including a plurality of communications instances and a plurality of sensing instances. The method can include determining, using radio frequency sensing, at least one characteristic of the target based on information in at least one of the plurality of sensing instances.
Claims30
A method for communications and sensing, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a receiver, a first signal based on a reflection of a second signal from a target, wherein the first signal comprises a waveform including a plurality of communications instances and a plurality of sensing instances;
- and
- determining, using radio frequency sensing, at least one characteristic of the target based on information in at least one of the plurality of sensing instances.
An apparatus for communications and sensing, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors configured to:
- receive a first signal based on a reflection of a second signal from a target, wherein the first signal comprises a waveform including a plurality of communications instances and a plurality of sensing instances, and
- determine, using radio frequency sensing, at least one characteristic of the target based on information in at least one of the plurality of sensing instances.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium of a receiver, the non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive a first signal based on a reflection of a second signal from a target, wherein the first signal comprises a waveform including a plurality of communications instances and a plurality of sensing instances;
- and
- determine, using radio frequency sensing, at least one characteristic of the target based on information in at least one of the plurality of sensing instances.
