As the standardization of 5G wireless networks progresses, the research community has started focusing on what 6G will be.Motivated by the need of ensuring high data-rates, while at the same time saving spectrum, a major technology that has beenproposed for 6G is the integration of communication and sensing services in the same infrastructure. This enables wireless networksto perceive the surrounding environments, triggering new services and leading to a more efficient use of resources. The INTEGRATE project focuses on the theoretical, algorithmic, and architectural foundations of integrated communication and sensing networks,developing the first open access network-level simulator for joint communication and sensing. To this end, a new implementation ofwireless transceiver is proposed, which leverages the use of reconfigurable holographic surfaces and allows the integration ofcommunication and sensing with remarkable performance while at the same time reducing the energy consumption. Specifically,INTEGRATE will: 1) Develop reconfigurable holographic surfaces capable of supporting joint communication and sensing tasks and that can be integrated in wireless transceivers with minimal cost and energy requirements. 2) Characterize the fundamental performance limits of integrated communication and sensing networks, developing an algorithmic framework and protocol suite toapproach these limits. 3) Build the first open access software simulation platform for joint communication and sensing networks.

随着5G无线网络的标准化的进展，研究界已经开始关注6G的含义。由于需要确保高数据速率的需要激发，而同时节省了Spectrum，这是一项用于6G的主要技术，是在同一基础架构中的沟通和感应服务的整合。这使无线网络可以感知周围环境，触发新服务并更有效地利用资源。集成项目的重点是集成通信和传感网络的理论，算法和建筑基础，开发了首个用于联合通信和传感的开放访问网络级别模拟器。为此，提出了一个新的实施无线收发器，该实施利用了可重新配置的全息表面的使用，并允许集成通信和感知性能，同时降低能源消耗。具体而言，集成意愿：1）开发能够支持联合通信和感应任务的可重构全息表面，并且可以将其集成到具有最低成本和能源需求的无线收发器中。 2）表征集成通信和传感网络的基本性能限制，开发算法框架和协议套件供这些限制。 3）构建第一个开放式访问软件仿真平台，用于联合通信和传感网络。
