Summary: Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) technology combines communication and sensing technologies, enhancing communication-assisted sensing performance and sensing-assisted communication performance enhancement. The high integration of information transmission capability and sensing capabilities fosters mutual benefits between communication and sensing, serving as a critical direction and key supporting technology for future networks including IMT-2020 networks and beyond. Some organizations and working groups have done some related works. Current ISAC projects have involved use cases, service requirements, signalling discussion, quality of services assurance, security, etc. However, the standardization of network requirements and framework of ISAC is lacked. This new work item will specify requirements and framework of ISAC, including common requirements, collaborative sensing requirements, requirements of communication-assisted sensing, and requirements of sensing-assisted communication, as well as the ISAC framework in IMT-2020 and beyond. The framework will contribute to enhancements of the IMT-2020 network architecture [ITU-T Y.3104].
