Abstract
A node in a wireless communication system coordinates multistatic radar measurements, wherein the node controls a plurality of wireless communication devices. Coordination involves obtaining an indication that a first sensing area located within a geographic area that is served by the node is to be sensed by a first radar signal. A first multistatic radar group of wireless communication devices selected from a participating group of the plurality of wireless communication devices and the node is formed, wherein the first multistatic radar group comprises at least one device for transmitting the first radar signal and at least two devices for receiving one or more reflections of the transmitted first radar signal. The first multistatic radar group is controlled to introduce the first radar signal into the first sensing area and to receive the one or more reflections of the introduced first radar signal. The sensed reflections obtained by wireless communication devices in the first multistatic radar group are caused to be combined to obtain geographical information about the first sensing area. Other aspects involve a wireless communication device interacting with a network node to receive allocated time and radio frequency resources to be used for a radar function.
