Radio frequency sensing with channel impulse response

A method of wireless communication performed by an initiating device, comprising:

• transmitting a signal with multiple packets from multiple transmit antennas;
• receiving, from a responding device, one or more channel impulse response (CIR) reports for each packet of the multiple packets;
• aligning, using one or more taps in the one or more CIR reports for each packet, the one or more CIR reports across the multiple packets to identify a target object, a location of the target object, or a movement of the target object, wherein the one or more taps are selected from within a time window;
• and
• performing an action based at least in part on the target object, the location of the target object, or the movement of the target object.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for wireless communication, the set of instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of an initiating device, cause the initiating device to:
• transmit a signal with multiple packets from multiple transmit antennas;
• receive, from a responding device, one or more channel impulse response (CIR) reports for each packet of the multiple packets;
• align, using one or more taps in the one or more CIR reports for each packet, the one or more CIR reports across the multiple packets to identify a target object, a location of the target object, or a movement of the target object, wherein the one or more taps are selected from within a time window;
• and
• perform an action based at least in part on the target object, the location of the target object, or the movement of the target object.
