Claim 14:
15. An apparatus for wireless communication at a first wireless node, comprising:
one or more memories;
a transceiver; and
at least one processor, each coupled to at least one of the one or more memories and to the transceiver, the at least one processor being configured to, individually or in combination:
transmit, to a second wireless node, via the transceiver, capability information indicating a capability of the first wireless node to perform object sensing when operating with carrier aggregation;
communicate, via the transceiver, a set of sensing signals on a plurality of carriers between the first wireless node and the second wireless node based on the capability information; and
sense an object based on a set of calculations associated with an aggregated sensing bandwidth of the set of sensing signals;
wherein the sensing the object based on the set of calculations associated with the aggregated sensing bandwidth of the set of sensing signals comprises to localize a position of the object based on the set of calculations associated with the aggregated sensing bandwidth of the set of sensing signals,
wherein the set of calculations comprises at least one of a time of arrival (ToA) associated with the aggregated sensing bandwidth of at least one of the set of sensing signals, an angle of arrival (AoA) associated with the aggregated sensing bandwidth of the at least one of the set of sensing signals, a time difference of arrival (TDoA) between at least two of the set of sensing signals and associated with the aggregated sensing bandwidth of the at least two of the set of sensing signals, or a channel impulse response (CIR) associated with the aggregated sensing bandwidth on at least one communication channel, and
wherein the position comprises at least one of a distance relative to a position of the first wireless node, a distance relative to a position of the second wireless node, a set of coordinates indicating a position of the object with respect to a relative frame of reference, or a set of geographic coordinates.
