Fifth generation new radio radio frequency sensing with polarization configuration

A network node comprising:

• a memory storing processor-readable code;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory, the at least one processor configured to execute the processor-readable code to cause the at least one processor to:
• receive a first polarization indicator and a second polarization indicator from a network entity, the first polarization indicator associated with transmission of a first reference sensing signal and the second polarization indicator associated with reception of a second reference sensing signal;
• perform sensing measurements using the first polarization indicator and the second polarization indicator;
• and
• transmit a sensing measurement report including the sensing measurements associated with the second reference sensing signal to the network entity.
