A person of ordinary skill in the art can know that with the evolution of the system architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solution proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure is also applicable to similar technical problems.

The following embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to the communication system 100 shown in FIG1 , or part of the subject, but are not limited thereto. The subjects shown in FIG1 are examples, and the communication system may include all or part of the subjects in FIG1 , or may include other subjects other than FIG1 , and the number and form of the subjects are arbitrary, and the subjects may be physical or virtual, and the connection relationship between the subjects is an example, and the subjects may be connected or disconnected, and the connection may be in any manner, and may be a direct connection or an indirect connection, and may be a wired connection or a wireless connection.

The embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), LTE-Beyond (LTE-B), SUPER 3G, IMT-Advanced, the fourth generation mobile communication system (4G), the fifth generation mobile communication system (5G), 5G new radio (NR), Future Radio Access (FRA), New-Radio Access Technology (RAT), New Radio (NR), New radio access (NX), Future generation radio access ... The present invention relates to wireless communication systems such as LTE, Wi-Fi (X), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM (registered trademark)), CDMA2000, Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.20, Ultra-WideBand (UWB), Bluetooth (registered trademark), Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) network, Device to Device (D2D) system, Machine to Machine (M2M) system, Internet of Things (IoT) system, Vehicle to Everything (V2X), systems using other communication methods, and next-generation systems expanded based on them.

Radar (radio detection and ranging) is a widely used wireless sensing technology that uses radio waves to determine the distance (range), angle, or instantaneous linear velocity of an object. There are other sensing technologies, including non-RF sensors that have been used in other fields, such as time-of-flight cameras, accelerometers, gyroscopes, and lidar.

Integrated sensing and communication in 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) systems means that sensing capabilities are provided by the same wireless communication system and infrastructure used for communication. In addition, both UE and NR RAN nodes can be used as sensing senders and sensing receivers in 3GPP-enabled sensing systems.

In a sensing scenario, UE/gNB can sense humans in an uninformed manner. UE/gNB can obtain sensitive information about humans (e.g. heart rate) through the sensing process. To avoid being sensed in an uninformed manner, humans should be able to use their UE to detect potential sensing tasks. One possible way is to use UE to receive broadcast information about sensing tasks. However, there is no existing mechanism that can broadcast sensing task information.
