Abstract

The integration of communication, sensing, and computing in 6G represents a significant exploratory direction for the future of the communication field. This paper delves into the network architecture and key technologies of 6G integrated communication, sensing, and computing. With the deepening application of 5G networks, 6G, as the future development direction of communication technology, will integrate technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data to achieve higher speeds, lower latency, broader coverage, and stronger intelligent processing capabilities. The 6G integrated communication, sensing, and computing network architecture is divided into four layers: sensing, communication, computing, and application, offering advantages such as efficient information exchange, powerful computing capabilities, flexible network configuration, and a wide range of application scenarios. Key technologies include communication-sensing integration, computing power network technology, and intelligent resource allocation. These technologies will drive the digital transformation and intelligent development of various industries, creating greater value for society.
