Abstract
For the next generation of mobile communications systems, the integration of sensing and communications promises benefits in terms of spectrum utilization, cost, latency, area and weight. In this paper, we categorize and summarize the key features and technical considerations for different integration approaches and discuss related waveform design issues for a future sixth generation (6G) system. We provide results on new candidate waveforms for monostatic sensing and finally highlight important open issues and directions that deserve future in-depth research.
