Architecture Proposal for 6G Systems Integrating Sensing and Communication

Integrating sensing functionality into 6G communication networks requires some changes to existing components as well as new entities processing the radar sensing signals received by the communication antennas. This whitepaper provides a comprehensive overview of the 6G design proposal for ISaC (Integrated Sensing and Communication). The whitepaper has been created by the architecture group of the KOMSENS-6G project. It represents an intermediate state of the work, as the KOMSENS-6G project is still ongoing. The proposal should serve as a basis for further discussions and alignment across innovative 6G projects.
