On 12 April 2025, ETSI announced the release of the first report that outlines a comprehensive analysis of advanced ISAC use cases and deployment scenarios, setting the foundation for future 6G systems. It aims to identify the critical functional and performance requirements necessary to support these cutting-edge use cases in 6G.
The document, which can be found in [7], details 18 advanced ISAC use cases ranging from human motion recognition and emergency rescue to autonomous vehicle navigation and industrial robotics. Each use case is explored in terms of deployment scenarios, enabling technologies, sensing modes, and required system capabilities.
The analysis introduces three integration levels, namely tight, intermediate, and loose, as well as six sensing modes, including monostatic and bistatic sensing configurations for both base stations and user equipment (UE). These definitions form a key part of a proposed framework to standardize sensing capabilities within future 6G networks.
The report also provides functional requirement categories and proposes new key performance indicators, such as fine motion accuracy and sensing service range, ensuring a robust performance evaluation framework for 6G sensing services.
