The field of integrated sensing and communication systems is rapidly evolving, with a focus on developing innovative solutions that combine sensing and communication functionalities. Recent research has explored the use of embodied edge intelligence, near-field communication, and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces to enhance the performance of these systems. Notably, the integration of sensing and communication has led to the development of new paradigms, such as joint radar-communications waveform design and cooperative sensing-assisted predictive beam tracking. These advancements have the potential to enable a wide range of applications, including remote surgery, autonomous driving, and holographic telepresence. Noteworthy papers in this area include the proposal of AirBreath sensing, a spectrum-efficient framework that mitigates interference in over-the-air distributed sensing, and the development of a programmable scheduler design for Open RAN Distributed Units that guarantees minimum throughput levels to User Equipments via configurable weights.
