Abstract: With the rapid development of telemedicine, high level autonomous driving, intelligent manufacturing, and etc., the research on intelligent machine-type communication (IMTC) is imminent. The traditional mobile network technology has been difficult to meet the requirements. To support this, the deep integration of sensing, communication and computing in future mobile communication networks should be studied. This speech will introduce the concept of Joint Communication and Sensing System for IMTC networks, and discuss key challenges and candidate technologies for future research.
