Imagine if your Wi-Fi or mobile signal didn't just carry data, but acted like a radar. It could 'feel' where people and objects are in a room without needing cameras. This allows the network to guide robots or protect pedestrians by knowing exactly where they are in real time.
Current 5G networks can transmit data but cannot 'see' their surroundings, making them unable to support critical safety tasks like pedestrian detection or robot navigation without expensive external sensors.
The project is building distributed ISAC architectures, physical-layer waveforms, and resource allocation protocols, validated through several demonstrators.
If you are a city planner dealing with dangerous road intersections — this project developed distributed sensing that detects vehicles and pedestrians in real time to enhance traffic safety.
If you are a factory manager dealing with robot collisions — this project developed network-based sensing that allows mobile robots to navigate efficiently and safely.
If you are a hardware manufacturer dealing with high energy costs — this project developed intelligent sensing activation that allows networks to adapt to their environment using fewer resources.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost structures are not provided as the project is in the research and development phase.
Yes, the project includes 7 industrial partners and focuses on developing demonstrators and prototypes to validate concepts in realistic scenarios for industrial relevance.
Based on available project data, academic partners ensure dissemination through patents, though specific licensing terms for the 11 partners are not detailed.
The project aims to bridge theoretical approaches with standards-compatible distributed joint communication and sensing to ensure alignment with global 6G development.
The project runs from 2024-01-01 to 2026-12-31, suggesting that validated prototypes will be available toward the end of 2026.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward commercial application, with a 64% industry ratio comprising 7 companies and 1 SME. This strong industrial presence, combined with 3 universities and 1 research center across 5 countries, indicates a high priority on translating scientific leadership into market-ready 6G hardware and protocols.
