October 25, 2021 - This trend will continue and communication spectra in the sub-Terahertz region will likely be available as some of the frequency bands for 6G deployments. With the introduction of these new frequencies, the potential for very accurate sensing based on radar-like technology arises. That is, reflections of transmitted signals are received in the network and processed to yield spatial knowledge of the physical surroundings.

November 18, 2024 - As radio frequency signals used for wireless communications travel from transmitter to receiver, they bounce off objects in their path. This causes changes which can be detected and analyzed to create a model of objects in an area without other sensors or a camera. Sensing is being integrated in 6G standards by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and several companies are already working on making it a reality.

In 6G mobile communication systems, the use of higher frequency bands (from mmWave up to THz), wider bandwidth, and massive antenna arrays will enable high-accuracy and high-resolution sensing, which can help implement the integration of wireless ...
