The field of mobile networks is moving towards integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) to meet the demands of 5G and 6G applications. Researchers are exploring new approaches to manage security, sensing, and communication in a unified framework. One key direction is the use of intent-based management frameworks to define and enforce complex security requirements. Another area of focus is the development of new waveforms and algorithms for ISAC, such as coordinated FMCW-OFDM and OTFS, which enable integrated sensing and communication while improving system complexity and performance. These advancements have the potential to strengthen the resilience and security posture of next-generation mobile networks. Noteworthy papers include:
- Managing Differentiated Secure Connectivity using Intents, which proposes a novel approach to security management in mobile networks.
- OTFS for Joint Radar and Communication: Algorithms, Prototypes, and Experiments, which demonstrates the effectiveness of OTFS in joint radar and communication systems through experimental results.
