Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for detecting an object to be detected. The object is associated with a profile, wherein the profile characterizes the reflection of a signal on the object. The method includes, for a device in a telecommunication network, the acts of selecting a first profile corresponding to a first object to be detected; requesting, based on the first profile, a resource allocation to the communication network; receiving the resource allocation from the communication network; transmitting a signal in the direction of a second object using the allocated resource; receiving a reflected signal, corresponding to the reflection of the transmitted signal on the second object; computing a second profile using the received reflected signal; and indicating the detection of the first object to be detected when the second profile matches the first profile.
