It is kind of hard to truly restrict its usage sure but how about we don't create IEEE standards for it.
You would get uncomfortable seeing an IEEE 802.11dp that's able determine if you're wearing an underwear that day, but they are going in that direction.
IEEE 802.11bf is the one you're looking for as far as WiFi goes. 5G and 6G are bigger than 802 but have been quite "transparently" designed with sensing in mind, as in you can read 100s of industry publications about this.
IEEE has a whole working group for standards around this stuff: https://signalprocessingsociety.org/community-involvement/in...
Here's a paper about related standards: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/11142711
The paradigm itself goes back decades now. It used to be called "joint communication and sensing" in the 00s, and then it was called "integrated sensing and communications".
I would rather a standard exist so that the layperson can get a sense of what’s possible.
