D2.1 Report on 6G-SENSES use cases, network architecture, KPIs and supported RAN functions

6G-SENSES designs and develops a next generation wireless infrastructure aiming to achieve advanced performance towards the IMT- 2030 vision and KPIs, outperforming the current network implementations and to progress research towards fully perceptive networks. To this end, research is focused on integrating CF networks, RIS infrastructures, as well as ISAC, using as baseline beyond SotA O-RAN and 3GPP specifications for the 5G protocol stack, and developing a sensing and a network intelligence plane spanning across network segments. The technical enablers of the proposed 6G-SENSES solutions centre around two main axes: 1) Access Network Performance and Sensing, and 2) Network Intelligence.
