A method used in a serving radio node, wherein the serving radio node serves one or more client radio nodes which are connected to the serving radio node via one or more radio links, in a coverage area neighboring to one or more coverage areas served by one or more neighboring radio nodes in a wireless communication network, the method comprising: receiving, from a control node controlling the serving radio node, a sounding and sensing related configuration for the serving radio node, wherein each sounding resource element indicated by the sounding and sensing related configuration is orthogonal to each sounding resource element indicated by a sounding and sensing related configuration for each neighboring radio node, wherein the received sounding and sensing related configuration indicates two or more sounding and sensing windows per sounding and sensing duration, one or more sounding and sensing windows of which are configured as sensing windows for sensing by the serving radio node, and the remaining sounding and sensing windows of which are configured as sounding windows for sounding by the serving radio node; and sensing, through a Receiver, RX, Radio Frequency, RF, chain of the serving radio node configured for each radio link of the one or more radio links, all sounding signals in a direction of the radio link based on the received sounding and sensing related configuration, wherein the RX RF chain is configured with the same resource element for sensing all possible sounding signals in its link direction as a Transmitter, TX, RF chain of a neighboring radio node for transmitting sounding signals in its link direction, wherein a receiver of each link pair of the serving radio node is configured with the same time-frequency radio resource pattern to directionally monitor all possible sounding signals in its link direction as a corresponding transmitter of the radio link of each link pair sending a directional sounding beam in its link direction, and wherein the receiver of each link pair of the serving radio node is in a directional sensing state when the corresponding transmitter of the radio link is sending directional sounding signals. receiving, from a control node controlling the serving radio node, a sounding and sensing related configuration for the serving radio node, wherein each sounding resource element indicated by the sounding and sensing related configuration is orthogonal to each sounding resource element indicated by a sounding and sensing related configuration for each neighboring radio node, wherein the received sounding and sensing related configuration indicates two or more sounding and sensing windows per sounding and sensing duration, one or more sounding and sensing windows of which are configured as sensing windows for sensing by the serving radio node, and the remaining sounding and sensing windows of which are configured as sounding windows for sounding by the serving radio node; and sensing, through a Receiver, RX, Radio Frequency, RF, chain of the serving radio node configured for each radio link of the one or more radio links, all sounding signals in a direction of the radio link based on the received sounding and sensing related configuration, wherein the RX RF chain is configured with the same resource element for sensing all possible sounding signals in its link direction as a Transmitter, TX, RF chain of a neighboring radio node for transmitting sounding signals in its link direction, wherein a receiver of each link pair of the serving radio node is configured with the same time-frequency radio resource pattern to directionally monitor all possible sounding signals in its link direction as a corresponding transmitter of the radio link of each link pair sending a directional sounding beam in its link direction, and wherein the receiver of each link pair of the serving radio node is in a directional sensing state when the corresponding transmitter of the radio link is sending directional sounding signals.
