Toward Distributed and Intelligent Integrated Sensing and Communications for 6G Networks
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2025
This article introduces the distributed and intelligent integrated sensing and communications (DISAC) concept, a transformative approach for 6G wireless networks that extends the emerging concept of integrated sensing and communications (ISAC). DISAC addresses the limitations of the existing ISAC models and, to overcome them, it introduces two novel foundational functionalities for both sensing and communications: a distributed architecture (enabling large-scale and energy-efficient tracking of connected users and objects, leveraging the fusion of heterogeneous sensors) and a semantic and goal-oriented framework (enabling the transition from classical data fusion to the composition of semantically selected information).
