Robitzsch Intended status: Standards Track InterDigital Europe Ltd Expires: 20 April 2026 17 October 2025 A YANG Data Model for Reporting Utilization Scores in ISAC draft-jadoon-green-isac-utilization-02 Abstract 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.

Introduction 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), radar cross section (RCS), micro- doppler, and range/delay [Jadoon2025], each consuming varying amounts of system resources such as memory, energy, and storage. To enable energy-efficient orchestration, it is important to measure and report the utilization impact of sensing measurements for a sensing task. This draft proposes a YANG data model that allows ISAC-enabled devices to report a utilization score (US) per sensing task, computed from weighted metrics such as CPU usage, memory, energy draw, storage load, and latency. 2. Model Scope The model is intended for systems that support ISAC and want to participate in energy-aware operations. 3.
