Description:
Future mobile networks are expected to support a variety of new applications. These include industrial automation, remote control, self-driving vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV)-based communication, extended reality (XR), sensing and localization. Beyond conventional content distribution and data exchange, these applications are often mission-critical and demand tight service requirements, such as ultra-high reliability, low-latency, massive connectivity, high bandwidth efficiency, and heterogeneous data traffic, among others. In the existing paradigm, it is challenging to achieve these critical requirements in a dynamic environment of the mobile network. Moreover, mobile applications such as indoor positioning, vehicular networks, and covert communications, require the network to provide not only communication connections but also sensing services. In such networks, joint sensing and communication design/operation becomes a promising way to improve the efficiency of exploiting spectral and signaling resources. Such integration of sensing and communication can happen at different levels, from loosely coupled to fully integrated. This “Pervasive Communications, Networking and Sensing” track seeks to bring together researchers from academia and industry to share their views on the trends and challenges in mobile applications and sensing.
