Activation conditions for sensing procedures

A network entity, comprising:

• one or more transceivers;
• one or more memories storing processor-executable code;
• and
• one or more processors coupled with the one or more transceivers and the one or more memories, the one or more processors, individually or collectively, are configured to:
• transmit, to a wireless device, an indication of an activation condition to participate in a sensing procedure for a target object, wherein the activation condition is based at least in part on a location of a transmission node or a reception node for the sensing procedure, or is based at least in part on a signal characteristic for the sensing procedure;
• and
• obtain, from the wireless device, measurement information indicative of one or more measurements of a signal reflected from the target object.

A network entity, comprising:

• one or more transceivers;
• one or more memories storing processor-executable code;
• and
• one or more processors coupled with the one or more transceivers and the one or more memories, the one or more processors, individually or collectively, are configured to:
• determine whether an activation condition is satisfied for a wireless device to participate in a sensing procedure for a target object, wherein the activation condition is based at least in part on a location of a transmission node or a reception node for the sensing procedure, or is based at least in part on a signal characteristic for the sensing procedure;
• and
• transmit, to the wireless device, an indication that the wireless device is selected to participate in the sensing procedure based at least in part on a satisfaction of the activation condition for the wireless device.

A method for wireless communications by a wireless device, comprising:

• obtaining, from a network entity, an indication of an activation condition to participate in a sensing procedure for a target object, wherein the activation condition is based at least in part on a location of a transmission node or a reception node for the sensing procedure, or is based at least in part on a signal characteristic for the sensing procedure;
• receiving, based at least in part on a satisfaction of the activation condition, a signal reflected from the target object;
• and
• transmitting, to the network entity, measurement information indicative of one or more measurements of the signal reflected from the target object.
