InterDigital’s Alain Mourad Elected Chair of New ETSI Industry Specification Group on Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC)
21 Novembro 2023 - 6:30AM
InterDigital, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDCC), a mobile and video technology
research and development company, today announced that Dr. Alain
Mourad, Head of InterDigital’s Wireless Lab Europe, has been
elected Chair of the ETSI’s newly developed Industry Specification
Group (ISG) on Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC).
The election was held at the inaugural ETSI ISAC
ISG meeting on November 17, which also saw the election of vice
chairs Dr. Ayman Naguib from Apple, Dr. Richard Stirling Gallacher
from Huawei, and Prof. Henk Wymeersch from Chalmers University.
More than 80 representatives from across industry and academia
participated in the kickoff meeting in Sophia Antipolis, France,
and collectively agreed that the ISG will establish the technical
foundation for the development of ISAC technology and its
standardization in 6G.
Sensing refers to the use of radio signals to
detect and estimate characteristics of target objects in the
environment and its integration enables the network to act as a
“radar” sensor and utilize its own radio signals to comprehend the
physical world it operates within. This enables the network to
collect data on a plethora of device and object features, including
range, velocity, position, orientation, size, shape, image,
materials, and more. The sensing data gathered and processed by the
network can be used to enhance network operations, augment existing
services such as XR and digital twins, and enable new services like
gesture and activity recognition, object detection and tracking,
and imaging and environment reconstruction.
“I’m delighted to lead the ISAC ISG for its
inaugural two-year release. ISAC is a pillar technology for 6G and
it’s timely for ETSI’s ISAC ISG to streamline the ongoing research
on ISAC towards its future specifications in the first release of
6G,” said Alain Mourad, InterDigital’s Head of Wireless Labs Europe
and ISAC ISG Chair. “I look forward to working with all the
stakeholders to deliver on the exciting mission of this ISAC
ISG.”
The ETSI ISAC ISG will define a prioritized set of
6G use cases and sensing types and develop an evaluation roadmap
focused on advanced 6G use cases and sensing types not expected to
be covered by 3GPP Release 19, though may be included in future 6G
releases. The ISG also aims to develop advanced channel models for
ISAC use cases and validate them through extensive measurement
campaigns to address gaps in existing communications-based channel
models.
“Alain’s strong leadership as the chair of the ETSI
ISG on ISAC will provide a bedrock for enhanced capabilities and
new use cases to explore in 6G,” said Rajesh Pankaj, Chief
Technology Officer, InterDigital. “Alain’s election adds to the
list of leadership positions InterDigital holds in other ETSI ISGs
like Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces, Permissioned Distributed
Ledger, and Securing AI, all of which do the critical, early work
of shaping of our 6G future.”
As part of their purview, the ETSI ISAC ISG will
undertake two studies, one on privacy and security aspects
associated with sensing data within the ISAC 6G framework and the
other on the impact of widespread deployment of ISAC on UN
sustainability goals.
