Open ISAC Testbed
Sensing and communication on shared radio infrastructure
6G is expected to extend wireless networks beyond communication. With Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC), the same radio infrastructure used to transmit information can also be used to understand the physical environment. The Open6GE ISAC environment explores this using 5G NR signals such as CSI-RS to extract sensing information.
This means the mobile network can gradually evolve from simply connecting devices to becoming a distributed sensing infrastructure. Applications could eventually span industrial environments, mobility, robotics, smart cities, public safety and environmental awareness.
The testbed covers pseudo-monostatic sensing, range and Doppler estimation, live range-Doppler mapping, line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight detection, and the antenna design for the sensing node itself, integrated with O-RAN radios.
