    Abstract: In some implementations, a base station may send, to a user equipment (UE), a message indicating that an RF sensing signal is to be used for the RF sensing, wherein the message indicates: the RF sensing signal comprises a modified synchronization signal block (SSB) for supporting both sensing and initial access/mobility, or the RF sensing signal comprises a non-SSB sensing reference signal (S-RS) of a secondary cell (Scell) and has a quasi co-location (QCL) relationship with a root SSB of a primary cell (Pcell). The base station also may transmit the RF sensing signal.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication at a communication device are described. The communication device may be configured to support reporting of power imbalances between antennas of the communication device. In some cases, the communication device may report a power imbalance between at least two of the antennas in the form of a power offset value based on a respective antenna polarization. In other cases, the communication device may report the power imbalance between the at least two antennas in the form of a power offset value based on a respective antenna panel. In some other cases, the communication device may be configured to report the power imbalance between the at least two antennas in the form of a power offset value for each separate antenna. The communication device may transmit a report with an indication of the power imbalance (e.g., power offset value) to the network.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided for implementing time reversed reference signals for radio frequency (RF) sensing operations in a communication system. An example method for generating channel reciprocity information for radio frequency sensing operations includes receiving radio frequency sensing information from a sensing node, generating a channel reciprocity prediction based at least in part on the radio frequency sensing information and a channel reciprocity prediction model, and providing an indication for time reversal precoding to the sensing node based on the channel reciprocity prediction.

    Abstract: Aspects relate to configuring active groups of antenna ports. An apparatus may support different groups of antenna ports. One or more of these groups may be designated as active (e.g., for a scheduled transmission). In some examples, a first apparatus may send to a second apparatus an indication of the active groups. The second apparatus may then use the active groups for a transmission.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure involve multiplexing the transmission of communications signals and sensing signals at the resource element level. A frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) signal and plurality of orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) signals may be transmitted within an air interface frame structure having a plurality of resource elements, each resource element defined over a symbol duration in a time domain and a subcarrier in a frequency domain. The FMCW signal occupies a first plurality of resource elements and comprises a FMCW waveform repeated in the time domain and transmitted during a first symbol, over a first plurality of subcarriers of the air interface frame structure. The plurality of OFDM signals occupy a second plurality of resource elements in the air interface frame structure and are transmitted during the first symbol, over a second plurality of subcarriers of the air interface frame structure.

    Abstract: Techniques for detecting non-line-of-sight (NLOS) wireless signal paths are described. In some embodiments, a method thereof may include receiving positioning information from one or more networked devices, the positioning information comprising information indicative of measurements of one or more wireless signals transmitted between one or more wireless network nodes and one or more UEs, location data indicative of a location of each of the one or more UEs, or a combination thereof; determining a commonality associated with the received positioning information; and based on the determined commonality, determining that the NLOS wireless signal path is present between the given UE and the one or more wireless network nodes.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided for performing channel stitching for cellular based radio frequency (RF) sensing. An example method of determining range information using joint communication and sensing includes receiving assistance data for joint communication and sensing operations, wherein the assistance data includes mixed numerology information indicating at least a first subcarrier spacing and a second subcarrier spacing, performing joint communication and sensing operations utilizing the first subcarrier spacing to receive communication symbols and the second subcarrier spacing to receive radio frequency sensing symbols, performing one or more channel stitching operations based on the received radio frequency sensing symbols, and determining range information based at least in part on the one or more channel stitching operations.
