KOMSENS-6G

The collaborative project "Perceptive communication networks with integrated sensor technology for 6th generation mobile communications (KOMSENS-6G)" focuses on integrating sensor technology into 6G communication systems. In this way, the researchers want to enable future applications in Industry 4.0 or autonomous mobility. The first step is therefore to analyze requirements from key German industries. Based on this, the project team is developing a new system architecture for which the individual functional blocks, i.e. components, are being defined with the associated open interfaces. Two different application scenarios are being investigated in order to use radar technology effectively in 6G networks. In monostatic radar sensing, the transmitter and receiver are located together, while in multistatic radar sensing, distributed transmitter and receiver units are considered. Finally, the concepts in both use cases will be evaluated in demonstrations and the energy usage will be optimized.
