Communication technology selection for radio frequency based sensing

Abstract

The present invention relates to selecting a communication technology () in a radio frequency (RF)-based sensing system () with one or more nodes (). The RF-based sensing system () is configured for performing RF-based sensing using one or more of two or more different communication technologies (). A communication technology () for performing RF-based sensing in the RF-based sensing system () is selected for one or more of the nodes () based on one or more parameters related to RF-based sensing in the RF-based sensing system (). A communication technology () optimal for a current sensing application with a current sensing quality requirement in a current context considering the available system resources can be selected. The communication technologies can be wideband () and narrowband () communication technologies. The parameters can include sensing application parameters, sensing quality parameters, system resource parameters, and contextual parameters.
