1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a base station of a wireless communication network and from a management platform, a request for the base station to obtain radar data associated with an area;
determining, by the base station and based on a parameter of the radar data, a configuration of wireless communication resources for obtaining the radar data;
allocating, by the base station, the configuration of wireless communication resources of the base station to configure a synthetic wireless communication signal as a radar signal,
configuring, by the base station, the synthetic wireless communication signal as the radar signal, the synthetic wireless communication signal being configured according to a protocol of the wireless communication network, wherein the wireless communication network includes at least one of:
a cellular network,
a public land mobile network (PLMN),
a local area network (LAN), or
a wide area network (WAN);

transmitting, by the base station, the configured synthetic wireless communication signal;
