HCS: Harmonized Communication and Sensing
Wireless communications are paving the way from a communication pipe to harmonized communication and sensing (HCS)which could provide high-resolution sensing, high-accuracy localization, human imaging, and environment reconstruction capabilities. The sensing can not only open the door to deliver intelligent services to users but also provide an efficient method to improve network performance. Recently HCS technology is discussed in 5G-Advanced system, IEEE 802.11bf, 6G white papers, and a series of publications. Such widely research will definitely accelerate the HCS to the way of industrial commercialization in next years. In this panel, we will investigate the research progress of HCS focusing on the fundamental issues including use case, challenges, key techniques, and industrial progress in standard and testbeds. The panel is expected to provide common views on future directions.
