6G With Integration of Sensing and Communication

Abstract

The framework should work under both function cooperation and function convergence models, support cloud-network-terminal cooperation and convergence, and bring the basic radio capabilities of cooperative sensing, cooperative machine learning, and deterministic transmission with higher reliability and data rate. Integration of sensing and communication (ISAC) offers two advantages over dedicated sensing and communication functionalities: 1) gain in integration to more effectively use crowded resources and 2) gain in coordination to balance dual-functional performance. ISAC has lately been proposed for a variety of new applications such as automotive networks, environmental monitoring, remote sensing, IoT, smart cities, and indoor services such as human activity and gesture detection, all of which benefit from these two benefits. More crucially, ISAC has lately been highlighted as a key enabler for B5G/6G and next-generation Wi-Fi systems. The goal of this study is to figure out how sensing and communication can work together to give 6G new capabilities and services.
