Abstract: Disclosed is to an algorithm that will increase the performance of detection processes to be performed in next generation communication systems and a method using this algorithm. The algorithm optimizes the detection performance based on the SINK values of the signals sent and reflected by the wireless communication or detection communication devices in the environment and selects the wireless communication or detection device(s) to be used to detect that object.

Abstract: Some embodiments in the present disclosure relate to sensing application identification. For example, a wireless signal is obtained to be further processed. Then, presence of a sensing signal in the received signal is estimated, the sensing signal being a signal generated by a sensing application. Based on the estimation of the sensing signal, wireless reception, transmission or sensing is then performed. The sensing application detection and/or identification may be performed by a trained model such as machine learning based model. The wireless reception, transmission or sensing performed according to the result of the estimation may further include channel access, resource allocation, utilization of the detected sensing signal for own sensing purposes, or the like.

Abstract: Some embodiments in the present disclosure relate to facilitating coexistence of communication applications and sensing applications in at least partially overlapping bandwidths. A sensing device, a joint sensing and communication device and/or a communication device are provided that transmit a request for transmission resources to a scheduling device in a communication format compliant with a communication standard. In response, the scheduling device allocates resources corresponding to a frame format compliant with a communication standard according to which the communication device operates, if the request was for a communication application or the scheduling device allocates resources corresponding to a frame format compliant with the communication standard or to a frame format suitable for a sensing application, if the request was for the sensing application.
