Abstract
The 6G networks are anticipated to be instrumental in powering a wide array of upcoming applications, including smart cities and homes, interconnected vehicles, intelligent factories, and the industrial Internet of Things (IoT). These applications need advanced wireless connectivity and robust, precise sensing abilities. A consistent aspect of future 6G plans is the increased importance of sensing, set to play an unprecedented role. By incorporating sensing capabilities, 6G networks will expand beyond traditional communication boundaries, offering pervasive sensing services to analyze and potentially map out the environments they operate in. This capability to collect environmental sensory data is seen as essential for nurturing intelligence in the upcoming era of smart environments. This necessitates a concurrent focus on developing communication and sensing technologies within 6G networks, which has prompted recent explorations in integrated sensing and communications (ISAC).
期刊介绍:
IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine is a premier publication that features peer-reviewed articles showcasing advancements in areas of interest to the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society. Our scope encompasses theoretical, experimental, application, and operational aspects of electrical and electronic engineering relevant to motor vehicles and associated land transportation infrastructure. This includes technologies for terrestrial mobile vehicular services, components, systems, and auxiliary functions within motor vehicles, as well as components and systems used in both automated and non-automated facets of ground transport technology. The magazine focuses on intra-vehicular components, systems, and applications, offering tutorials, surveys, coverage of emerging technology, and serving as a platform for communication between the IEEE VTS governing body and its membership. Join us in exploring the latest developments in vehicular technology.
