Sensing manner switching method and apparatus, communication device, and storage medium

A sensing manner switching method, comprising:

• when a sensing manner of a sensing target is initiated to be switched from a first sensing manner to a second sensing manner, receiving, by a first node, a first request message sent by a first device, wherein the first request message is used to request at least one target candidate node to perform sensing measurement on the sensing target in the second sensing manner, a signal sending node in the first sensing manner and a signal receiving node in the first sensing manner are a same node, and a signal sending node in the second sensing manner and a signal receiving node in the second sensing manner are different nodes;
• and
• sending, by the first node, a feedback message to the first device, wherein the feedback message is used to indicate whether the target candidate node agrees to perform sensing measurement on the sensing target in the second sensing manner.

A communication device, comprising a processor and a memory storing instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising

• obtaining a first measurement report, wherein the first measurement report is generated by a source node by performing first sensing measurement on a sensing target in a first sensing manner, wherein a signal sending node in the first sensing manner and a signal receiving node in the first sensing manner are a same node, and the first device is the same as or different from the source node;
• and
• determining whether to initiate switching of a sensing manner of the sensing target from the first sensing manner to a second sensing manner based on the first measurement report, wherein a signal sending node in the second sensing manner and a signal receiving node in the second sensing manner are different nodes.
