US 2026/0101239 A1 · METHODS, ARCHITECTURES, APPARATUSES AND SYSTEMS FOR EFFICIENT SENSING IN WIRELESS NETWORKS

Abstract

Procedures, methods, architectures, apparatuses, systems, devices, and computer program products for providing a sensing service in an integrated sensing and communication network are disclosed. Sensing entities in the network are assigned to one or more groups. A first group of sensing entities provides a set of sensing measurements, and a sensing result is determined from those measurements. The quality of the sensing result is compared to a required quality of the sensing service. If the sensing result falls below the required quality of service, a second set of entities is activated to provide a second set of measurements. An updated sensing result is determined based on the first and second set of sensing measurements. The efficiency of the sensing service is improved owing to the second group of sensing entities only being activated when the first set of sensing entities fail to provide the required quality of sensing service.
