What if the network didn’t just carry data but could also sense the world around it?
That’s the promise of Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC), widely seen as a cornerstone capability for 6G. But delivering it will require more than incremental improvements to today’s radio technologies. It may demand a fundamentally different waveform.
This paper from MNIS sponsor Cohere Technologies explores why Zak-Orthogonal Time Frequency Space (Zak-OTFS) is emerging as a compelling candidate. By operating in the delay-Doppler domain, Zak-OTFS is designed to handle highly dynamic environments while enabling networks to simultaneously communicate and sense their surroundings.
The report, produced by TÉRAL Research in association with Cohere Technologies, examines the technical foundations of Zak-OTFS and why it could play a central role in future sensing-enabled wireless networks.
