Channel Measurements and Modeling for Joint/Integrated Communication and Sensing, as well as ISAC Proofs-of-Concept, Phase III

Published: November 2026

This report represents the third phase of the Next G Alliance effort to advance ISAC technologies. The Phase I (2024) and Phase II (2025) white papers established essential foundations for ISAC target and background channel modeling that continue to underpin ongoing research. Since then, however, the technical landscape has evolved rapidly. The focus has expanded beyond initial modeling assumptions to encompass more diverse propagation environments, sensing geometries, deployment scenarios, and validation through indoor and outdoor testbeds as well as proof-of-concept implementations. Building on these earlier efforts, this Phase III report identifies the enhancements needed to support credible modeling, performance evaluation, and practical deployment of ISAC in 6G systems, while also providing an overview of current prototyping activities across industry and academia.
