Layer 3: Radar Signal Processing & 4D Point Cloud (2D-FFT Range-Doppler / MUSIC AoA / CFAR Detection / Micro-Doppler Extraction): Sub-decimeter range and velocity resolution, constant false-alarm rate (CFAR) detection, and micro-Doppler biomechanical gait and drone propeller classification.
Layer 4: Network Sensing Orchestration & 3GPP Rel-19 (3GPP Rel-19 ISAC Core / Sensing Function (SF) / Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS)): Cell-free collaborative radar networks, dynamic time-frequency resource allocation balancing communication SLA against radar revisit time.
