ABSTRACT
Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) will play a pivotal role in the fifth-generation-advanced (5G-A) and sixth-generation (6G) multi-functional networks for its promising potential to bridge between real and digital worlds via the Metaverse. Realizing sensing functions based on the existing 5G network is the primary concern of the communication-centric ISAC technical route. However, the simulation methods verifying multi-node communication and sensing functions are absent nowadays. Therefore, in this paper, a software platform aimed at evaluating miscellaneous performances of the 5G-based ISAC system is introduced. The gNB-based ISAC scenario, the platform architecture design, 5G time-frequency resources, and the 3D-FFT signal processing algorithm are briefly illustrated. System-level performance evaluation results serve as examples of the platform capacities, including the feasibility of certain 5G reference signals to conduct sensing services, and the performance trade-off between communication and sensing using certain reference signals.
