Collaborative Sensing in Perceptive Mobile Networks: Opportunities and Challenges

With the development of innovative applications that demand accurate environment information, for example, autonomous driving, sensing becomes an important requirement future wireless networks. To this end, integrated and communication (ISAC) provides a promising platform to exploit synergy between communication, where perceptive mobile networks (PMNs) were proposed add capability existing The well-developed cellular offer exciting opportunities sensing, including large coverage, strong computation, power, and, most importantly, networked perspectives from multiple nodes can be collaboratively utilized same target. However, PMNs also face big challenges, such as inherent interference complex environment, tracking high-speed targets by This article comprehensive review on design PMNs, covering popular network architectures, protocols, standing research problems, available solutions. Several directions are critical discussed.
