Study on integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) for C-V2X application

The Work Item “Study on Integrated Sensing and Communication for C-V2X Application” aims to discuss the integration of sensing and communication systems into one system from an automotive perspective. The Work Item aims to identify key features relevant for the realization of the selected automotive use cases.

The Technical Report outlines the objectives and goals of the work item, implementation descriptions of automotive use cases with ISAC and key technology trends to facilitate the application of ISAC in C-V2X scenarios. The objectives of the work item are thus:

Analysis of ISAC use cases and ISAC concept development

  • Identify applicable ISAC use cases for connected mobility from 5GAA, academia, standards organizations (SDO) such as 3GPP SA1, etc.
  • Define criteria/rationales to select a subset of use cases.
  • Update use cases to identify the value and impact of ISAC technologies.
  • Derive sensing requirements for selected use cases.
  • Establish quantitative general metrics to evaluate and measure the performance of ISAC solutions to guide research and standardization.
  • Describe an ISAC concept based on existing technologies in the automotive sector/field.

Study possible ISAC technology trends

  • Do state-of-the-art study of the evolution and technology trends of new ISAC features in research and SDOs (e.g. 3GPP, ETSI) and analyze the potential impact on both communication and sensing systems from the automotive
    perspective.
  • Analyze ISAC technology features relevant for the identified automotive use cases
