  • Publication number: 20250031108
    Abstract: An integrated wireless sensing and communication (ISAC) system may allow for a radio access network (“RAN”) node to improve the sensing. There may be a secondary sensing radio link (S-S-RL) for additional sensing functionality. The sensing signal can be used by the RAN node and/or the UE for detecting objects along a radio path between the RAN node and UE to improve the wireless communication through RL. The S-S-RL may be added in a single connectivity system or may be modified in a dual connectivity system. In order to maximize the sensing collaboration benefits among RAN nodes, the S-S-RL can assist communication or assist sensing.

    Abstract: A heating device and control method therefor. The device includes a cylinder for placing an object to be processed and an electromagnetic wave generating system for generating electromagnetic wave signals to heat the object. At each preset time interval, the electromagnetic wave generating system is controlled to adjust the frequency of the generated electromagnetic wave signal within a preset selectable frequency range, and ensure the system meets a preset matching condition. The frequency of the signal that meets the preset matching condition each time is recorded, and the change amount in frequency of the signal that meets the preset matching condition from before the preset number of matches to the current match is calculated. Operation of the system is terminated when any one of preset termination conditions is met.
