performing a first filtering process on the result of channel estimation based on the first filter.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein, determining the first filter further comprises:
determining a maximum main lobe power of the echo signal based on the result of channel estimation; and
determining the first filter based on the maximum main lobe power and noise power.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein, determining the first filter further comprises:
determining a maximum main lobe power of the echo signal, a first distance between the first node and a first target corresponding to the maximum main lobe power, a minimum main lobe power of the echo signal, and a second distance between the first node and a second target corresponding to the minimum main lobe power, based on the result of channel estimation; and
determining the first filter, based on the maximum main lobe power, the first distance, the minimum main lobe power, the second distance, and the noise power.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the distance between the first node and the target is determined based on the result of channel estimation or is received from a second node.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising transmitting, to the second node, a distance between the second node and the target,
wherein different distances correspond to different filters, or a plurality of the different distances correspond to a same filter.

6. The method of claim 4 , further comprising obtaining a first target detection result of the first node based on the result of channel estimation after the first filtering process;
performing a second filtering process on the result of channel estimation based on a filter used by the first node in at least one previous sensing cycle; and
in a case that a second result of channel estimation after the second filtering process and a first result of channel estimation after the first filtering process in the at least one previous sensing cycle satisfy a first condition, determining the first filter based on the result of channel estimation and the distance between the first node and the target.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
receiving, from the second node, third configuration information for configuring a sensing cycle of the first node; and
transmitting, to the second node, fourth configuration information for configuring a sensing cycle of the second node.
