Digital twin-assisted sensing node activation for wireless sensing

A method of wireless sensing performed by a sensing node, comprising:

• receiving, from a sensing server, a configuration for a sensing session to detect one or more target objects, wherein the configuration includes one or more parameters defining the sensing session;
• and
• receiving assistance data for the sensing session, wherein the assistance data is determined from a digital twin model of an environment of the sensing node, and wherein the assistance data indicates one or more modeled signal quality metrics of reflections from the one or more target objects of one or more sensing signals to be transmitted by one or more transmitter sensing nodes during the sensing session and received at one or more receiver sensing nodes.

A sensing node, comprising:

• means for receiving, from a sensing server, a configuration for a sensing session to detect one or more target objects, wherein the configuration includes one or more parameters defining the sensing session;
• and
• means for receiving assistance data for the sensing session, wherein the assistance data is determined from a digital twin model of an environment of the sensing node, and wherein the assistance data indicates one or more modeled signal quality metrics of reflections from the one or more target objects of one or more sensing signals to be transmitted by one or more transmitter sensing nodes during the sensing session and received at one or more receiver sensing nodes.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a sensing node, cause the sensing node to:

• receive, from a sensing server, a configuration for a sensing session to detect one or more target objects, wherein the configuration includes one or more parameters defining the sensing session;
• and
• receive assistance data for the sensing session, wherein the assistance data is determined from a digital twin model of an environment of the sensing node, and wherein the assistance data indicates one or more modeled signal quality metrics of reflections from the one or more target objects of one or more sensing signals to be transmitted by one or more transmitter sensing nodes during the sensing session and received at one or more receiver sensing nodes.
