Networked Sensing in 6G Cellular Networks: Opportunities and Challenges
Radar and wireless communication are widely acknowledged as the two most successful applications of the radio technology over the past decades. Recently, there is a trend in both academia and industry to achieve integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) in one system via utilizing a common radio spectrum and the same hardware platform. This article will discuss about the possibility of exploiting the future sixth-generation (6G) cellular network to realize ISAC. Our vision is that the cellular base stations (BSs) deployed all over the world can be transformed into a powerful sensor to provide highresolution localization services. Specifically, motivated by the joint encoding/decoding gain in multi-cell coordinated communication, we advocate the adoption of the networked sensing technique in 6G network to achieve the above goal, where the BSs can share the sensing information with each other for jointly estimating the locations and velocities of the targets. Several opportunities and challenges to realize networked sensing in the 6G era will be revealed in this article. Moreover, the future research directions for this promising trend will be outlined as well.
