1. A method for wireless sensing performed by an apparatus of a transmitter device, comprising:
transmitting parameters for a sensing operation on a wireless channel with a receiver device, the parameters indicating an availability window;
transmitting a null data packet (NDP) configuring the receiver device to perform sensing measurements on the wireless channel;
transmitting or receiving one or more non-sounding frames over the wireless channel associated with the sensing measurements;
transmitting a frame soliciting a sensing measurement report associated with the sensing measurements from the receiver device; and
receiving the sensing measurement report from the receiver device according to the availability window, the sensing measurement report comprising channel state information (CSI) values responsive to at least the NDP.
