Co-Existence Operations Involving a Radar-Enabled User Equipment and Other User Equipments

A method performed by a radio network node of a wireless communication network, the method comprising:

• receiving Uplink (UL) reference-signal transmissions corresponding to respective UL transmit beam directions at the wireless communication device;
• estimating UL received powers for the UL reference-signal transmissions;
• and
• sending feedback for the wireless communication device, the feedback indicating the UL received powers corresponding to one or more of the UL transmit beam directions.

A wireless communication device comprising:

• communication circuitry configured for communicating with a wireless communication network and performing radar transmissions for surrounding-environment sensing;
• and
• processing circuitry operatively associated with the communication circuitry and configured to:
• classify, individual radar beam directions among a plurality of radar beam directions as being restricted or unrestricted;
• and
• adapt radar transmissions by the wireless communication device in consideration of the classifications made for the individual radar beam directions;
• wherein the classifying comprises determining one or more radio network nodes of the wireless communication network to consider, and for each radio network node being considered and each radar beam direction being considered, estimating an Uplink (UL) received power that would be experienced at the considered radio network node for a radar transmission performed by the wireless communication device in the considered radar beam direction.

A radio network node configured for operation in a wireless communication network, the radio network node comprising:

• communication circuitry;
• and
• processing circuitry configured to:
• receive, via the communication circuitry, Uplink (UL) reference-signal transmissions corresponding to respective UL transmit beam directions at the wireless communication device;
• estimate UL received powers for the UL reference-signal transmissions;
• and
• send, via the communication circuitry, feedback for the wireless communication device, the feedback indicating the UL received powers corresponding to one or more of the UL transmit beam directions.
