Intelligent integrated sensing and communications
Treating the network as a high-precision sensor rather than a data pipe. We initiated and coordinate this work toward 6G.

The challenge
Sensing infrastructure is normally deployed separately from communications infrastructure, and paid for separately. Radar for one purpose, cameras for another, and a network alongside them carrying the results.
Yet a radio signal reflecting off a moving object already carries information about that object. The obstacle is not physics; it is that spectrum, waveform, architecture and privacy all have to be resolved together before a network can be asked to do two jobs at once.
Our approach
We work on architectures where a single waveform carries data and senses the environment it passes through, so presence, position and movement are measured by infrastructure that is already deployed for connectivity.
AI-based prediction and localisation sit on top of the raw measurements, and privacy is treated as an architectural constraint from the start rather than a policy applied afterwards.
