| Jadoon & Robitzsch | Expires 8 January 2026 | [Page] |
This document defines a basic YANG data model to report sensing measurements utilization score (US) in Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) systems. The score quantifies the resource impact of different sensing measurements, including compute, memory, storage, energy, and latency. The model supports per-measurement telemetry reporting.¶

ISAC introduces a paradigm where network nodes perform both communication and sensing tasks. Several use cases and their requirements for ISAC have been defined in 3GPP [TR22.837] and ETSI[GR-ISC001]. A sensing task involves measurements of parameters such as Doppler, angle of arrival (AoA), and radar cross section (RCS), micro-doppler, range/delay [Jadoon2025] etc., each consumes varying amounts of system resources such as memory, energy, storage.¶
To enable energy-efficient orchestration, it is important to measure and report the utilization impact of each measurement for a sensing task. This draft proposes a YANG data model that allows ISAC-enabled devices to report an SMUS per sensing task, computed from weighted metrics such as CPU usage, memory, energy draw, storage load, and latency.¶
The model is intended for systems that support ISAC and want to participate in energy-aware operations.¶
