Title of talk: Integrated Sensing and Communications for 6G and Beyond

Abstract:
In this talk, I will present on the wireless evolution towards latest IMT-2030/6G framework, trends, challenges, standardization aspects, new spectrum opportunities in mid-band to high frequency bands, and related use cases. In particular we will discuss about achieving the “integrated” 6G and beyond services through the utilization of integrated sensing and communications (ISAC). We will discuss the synergies of ISAC with the key objectives of 6G framework such as ubiquitous intelligence via non-terrestrial networks, sustainable and resilient networking, inter-twining of electromagnetic signal and information theory with ISAC, and latest use cases of ISAC such as in public safety and 6G-empowered robotics applications.
