6G Positioning and Sensing Through the Lens of Sustainability, Inclusiveness, and Trustworthiness
6G promises a paradigm shift by integrating positioning and sensing, enhancing not only the communication performance but also enabling location- and context-aware services. Historically, positioning and sensing were focused on cost and performance trade-offs, implying an escalated demand for resources, such as radio, physical, and computational resources, for improved performance. However, 6G expands this perspective, embracing a set of broader values, namely sustainability, inclusiveness, and trustworthiness. From a joint industrial/academic perspective, this article aims to shed light on these important value indicators and their relationship with the conventional key performance indicators in the context of positioning and sensing.
