Original Abstract Submitted
A user equipment (UE) and related techniques are disclosed. In one aspect, the UE provides, to one or more wireless nodes of a radio access network (NG-RAN) associated with the core network or a second network entity of the core network different from the first entity, an indication of sensing directions for transmitting and receiving a radar signal to sense an environment of the apparatus. Latency may be reduced for tracking targets by skipping exhaustive scanning or complex full processing by exploiting prior sensing measurement reports collected by a sensing management function (SnMF). In this way, interference may be reduced and less resource and power usage may be enabled for sensing functions. In one case, sensing directions can be indicated in GCS and translated to a respective sensors' beam direction in LCS at NG-RAN or UE for efficient beam management. In one case, SnMF indicates a sensing direction in LCS to NG-RAN or UE for sensing signal transmission and/or reception.
