Integrated sensing and communication in 6G - Ericsson
October 23, 2025 - To enable communication service providers (CSPs) to monetize these new uses cases, the future mobile system must have new functionalities in both the radio access network (RAN) and the core network, as well as new exposure functionality. To address these needs, Ericsson has developed a novel end-to-end (E2E) architecture for 6G sensing.

December 24, 2025 - It can provide advantages to end users by collecting data from ubiquitous mobile devices, such as computers, smartphones, RFIDs, actuators, and sensors [94]. According to Cisco’s projections [95], there will be 500 billion IoT devices online by 2030. Furthermore, an IHS Markit report [96] predicts that the number of globally linked IoT devices will increase by an astounding 12% annually, from about 27 billion in 2017 to 125 billion in 2030. Given this, 6G is positioned to be a key component of future IoT networks and applications, offering all-encompassing wireless coverage and including all necessary features like sensing, transmission, computation, cognitive processing, and completely automated control.

February 23, 2026 - Following the trend initiated in the 5G new radio (NR) systems, sixth generation (6G) will continue to develop towards even higher frequency ranges, wider bandwidths, and massive antenna arrays. In turn, this will enable sensing solutions with very fine range, Doppler and angular resolutions, as well as localization to cm-level degree of accuracy. Moreover, new materials, device types, and reconfigurable surfaces will allow network operators to reshape and control the electromagnetic response of the environment.
