Special Session: Communications, Sensing and Computing for future wireless networks

The future wireless networks are evolving toward the deep integration of communication, sensing, and computing. This new paradigm, known as Integrated Communications, Sensing, and Computing (ICSC), transcends the functional boundaries of traditional communication systems, enabling networks not only to transmit information but also to actively sense the environment and perform distributed computing tasks. By sharing spectrum, hardware, and computing resources, ICSC significantly improves resource utilization efficiency, reduces latency, and enhances network intelligence, providing critical support for enabling 6G, the Internet of Things (IoT), Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications, edge intelligence, and other emerging applications. This Special Issue aims to bring together researchers from academia and industry to explore the theoretical foundations, key technologies, and system implementations of ICSC, thereby fostering collaborative innovation and standardization efforts in this field.
