Study on Integrated Sensing and Communication
The present document describes use cases and potential requirements for enhancement of the 5G system to provide sensing services addressing different target verticals/applications, e.g. autonomous/assisted driving, V2X, UAVs, 3D map reconstruction, smart city, smart home, factories, healthcare, maritime sector.
Use cases focus on NR-based sensing, while some use cases might make use of information already available in EPC and E-UTRA (e.g. cell/UE measurements, location updates). This study will not lead to impacts on EPC and E-UTRA. Some use cases could also include non-3GPP type sensors (e.g. Radar, camera).
The aspects addressed in the present document include collecting and reporting of sensing information, sensing related KPIs. Security, privacy, regulation and charging are additional topics of concern.
