Abstract: A communication method and apparatus are provided. The communication apparatus communicates with a device to obtain first information that includes location information and/or motion information of the device, and senses an environment to obtain environment sensing information that includes location information and/or motion information of an object in the environment. The communication apparatus determines a first antenna panel and/or a second antenna panel different from the first antenna panel based on the first information and the environment sensing information, where the first antenna panel is configured to communicate with a first device, and/or is configured to send, to the first device, a signal for sensing information, the second antenna panel is configured to receive sensing signal from the first device. In the communication apparatus, sensing and communication functions can be implemented in a single hardware system, thereby decreasing a size of the communication apparatus and reducing the cost.

Abstract: A terahertz sensing system and a terahertz sensing array are provided. The terahertz sensing array includes N sensing unit groups arranged in an array form, and each of the N sensing unit groups includes M reconfigurable sensing units. Each of the M reconfigurable sensing units can detect one type of terahertz wave physical characteristic parameter, and the type of the terahertz wave physical characteristic parameter that can be detected by the reconfigurable sensing unit may vary based on a detection configuration, where N and M are positive integers greater than 1.
