one6G presented at Meditcom 2022
Prof. Andrea Giorgetti, from WiLab/CNIT – DEI, University of Bologna, represented one6G Association at the IEEE International Mediterranean Conference on Communications and Networking, which took place on 7-8 September in Greece. His presentation focused on Integrated Sensing and Communication – Recent advances and the one6G association perspective.
The next generation of networks (6G) is still in an early stage of definition, but some of its application scenarios and verticals start being focused, and some enabling technologies are already identified. Among those technologies, the joint sensing and communications (JSAC) techniques is globally accepted as one of the 6G pillars. JSAC has different approaches and levels of integration in the RF chain and a set of diverse implementation strategies in every scenario and frequency band. From evolved RF localization techniques to the integration of radar-like signals into the communications link, JSAC is expected to guarantee some crucial functionalities of the 6G, enriching the communications system with a precise knowledge of its environment.
Prof Giorgetti joined the panel that brought together several experts in the field, with complementary views on the topic. They discussed to which extent JSAC will impact on the different verticals of application of the next generation of networks, with special emphasis on the industrial communications.
