4th IEEEInternational Symposium on Joint Communications & Sensing

The integration of communication and radio sensing in the same spectrum is likely to be one of the key features in B5G wireless systems. A joint design of both services will improve the efficiency of spectrum usage, and will offer the opportunity of providing radar as a service, just like communications today. Recent advances in mmWave communications, massive MIMO and machine learning, among others, are making this vision possible, but many technical challenges still remain, from hardware up to the application layer. Therefore, Joint Communications and Sensing (JC&S) is the subject of rapidly growing interest in the research community, and this symposium will focus on the different system and implementation aspects of this promising new approach, bringing together academic and industrial experts from both the radar and communications research communities.

We look forward to welcoming you in beautiful Leuven, Belgium this year. Our local host is the research hub imec. It offers the best conditions for a lively in-person exchange. For those unable to attend, all sessions will also be streamed online and recordings will be available after the event.

Topics include but are not limited to:

• Fundamental information theoretical limits for JC&S
• Network architecture / transmission protocols / frame designs for JC&S
• Innovative hardware designs addressing power consumption, size, and cost benefits for JC&S
• RF system and antenna design for JC&S
