The pith

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The reading

This survey argues that Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) is becoming an agentic system: autonomous AI agents that perceive, reason, plan, and act over the radio environment, a paradigm the authors call AISAC. To make that argument testable, the paper proposes a six-stage closed-loop framework (observation, contextualization, reasoning and prediction, planning and orchestration, execution and collaboration, feedback and resilience) and five levels of agentic maturity from physical-layer primitives to fully closed-loop AISAC. It then audits representative studies against nine agentic-specific evaluation criteria and finds that none reports more than one or two of them. The caring point is the gap between claimed and demonstrated agentic maturity: much of the literature labels systems as agentic while omitting measurements of goal completion, tool-call success, contextual correctness, or recovery time.

What carries the argument

The unifying object is the closed-loop abstraction $y^{RF}_t \to o^{phy}_t \to c^{sem}_t \to \hat{s}_{t+1:t+H} \to p_t \to a_t \to y^{RF}_{t+1}$, which turns received signals into physical observations, semantic context, predicted future states, plans, and actions. Carrying the argument are the six-stage framework, the five maturity levels used to classify studies, and the nine evaluation criteria (contextual correctness, uncertainty calibration, goal completion, planning latency, constraint violations, tool-call success, coordination overhead, recovery time, human-intervention frequency) against which the audit is run.

What would settle it

A single agentic ISAC system that reports at least three of the nine criteria quantitatively on a reproducible testbed, including contextual correctness and tool-call success, would directly contradict the audit's headline claim.

Extended reading notes

Core claim

The central claim is that the convergence of agentic AI and ISAC constitutes a new networking paradigm, AISAC, and that judging this paradigm requires distinguishing AI-assisted from genuinely agentic systems. The paper proposes a six-stage closed loop and a five-level maturity scale, then uses both to classify the literature. Its headline empirical finding is that representative works across learning-driven ISAC, federated participant selection, resilience mechanisms, and agent-oriented architectures report at most one or two of nine agentic evaluation dimensions, and agent-oriented architectures report none quantitatively. The authors conclude that fully closed-loop agentic ISAC remains unvalidated and largely unimplemented.

Load-bearing premise

The audit assumes that failure to report a metric means the capability was not demonstrated, and it relies on a hand-selected set of representative studies rather than a systematic corpus.

Editorial extensions

If this is right

  • If the audit is right, the field's agentic claims run ahead of evidence, and maturity should be reported as levels L0-L4 with demonstrated dimensions.
  • The six-stage framework gives a common roadmap to position future ISAC papers, making each work's agentic gap explicit.
  • The nine criteria suggest a community benchmark with standardized logging of tool calls, plans, and recovery for comparison.
  • Full L4 closed-loop AISAC remains open; near-term architectures should be hierarchical, with slow cognitive agents invoking fast physical controllers as tools.

Reading between the lines

Editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • Beyond the paper: the audit's criterion list could double as a reporting checklist for conferences, forcing authors to state which of the nine dimensions their demo actually measures.
  • Beyond the paper: the same framework could be applied to other cyber-physical domains, such as autonomous vehicles or robotics, where 'agentic' labels are also outpacing evaluation.
  • Beyond the paper: the absence of tool-call success metrics suggests that current ISAC agents are not yet safe to expose to untrusted tools; a targeted testbed feeding misconfigured tool calls could quantify that risk.

Referee Report

4 major / 5 minor

Summary. This survey paper proposes a new paradigm, AISAC (agentic AI-enabled integrated sensing and communication), organized around a six-stage closed-loop framework (observation, contextualization, reasoning and prediction, planning and orchestration, execution and collaboration, feedback and resilience) and a five-level agentic maturity taxonomy (L0-L4). It reviews the literature across physical-layer ISAC, RIS, UAV/vehicular networks, federated learning, LLM-based reasoning, and security/resilience, and it claims to audit representative studies against nine agentic-specific evaluation criteria, concluding that no system reports more than one or two of these criteria and that a gap exists between claimed and demonstrated agentic maturity. The paper ends with eight open challenges, including physical-to-semantic grounding, real-time agent-PHY interaction, safe tool use, and reproducible benchmarking.

Significance. The paper's main positive contribution is structural: the six-stage closed-loop framing and the five maturity levels provide a useful organizing lens for a fragmented literature, and the three-layer hierarchy (mission agent, orchestrator, schedulers, physical controllers) offers a plausible architectural answer to the real-time control/reasoning mismatch. The treatment of security and resilience as cross-cutting loop-stage concerns is also a strength, and the survey's tables map the literature more explicitly than most competing surveys. However, the paper's most distinctive empirical claim, the audit result, is currently not stated accurately and rests on a non-systematic sample built from papers that the paper itself classifies as L0-L2. If the audit claim is repaired by restricting it to quantitative measurement and to claim-bearing L3/L4 works, the paper would be a useful reference; as it stands, the central claim is overstated and internally inconsistent.

major comments (4)
  1. [Abstract, Section 1.2, Section 9, Table 10] The headline claim that "no system reports more than one or two" of the nine agentic criteria is contradicted by Table 10's own final row for agent-oriented network architectures, which states "All nine dimensions reported only descriptively, not measured." If descriptive reporting counts as reporting, then that row reports all nine criteria; if only quantitative measurement counts, then the claim must be restated as "no system quantitatively measures more than one or two," and the "Agentic dimensions reported" column must be relabeled to reflect measurement rather than reporting. The current wording in the abstract and Section 9 is therefore internally inconsistent with the audit table.
  2. [Section 3.6 and Table 10] The audit's sample composition makes the field-level conclusion partly tautological. Several works audited in Table 10 are classified in Table 4 as L0-L2 by the paper's own maturity taxonomy (e.g., [27,28] as L0; [29,30] as L1-L2; [33,34] as L2), meaning they are not agentic systems and would not be expected to report agentic-specific metrics. Concluding that non-agentic systems lack agentic metrics does not demonstrate a gap between claimed and demonstrated agentic maturity. The audit should be restricted to, or separately analyzed for, works that actually claim L3/L4 maturity, such as [26,35,36,98], and the field-level conclusion should be based on that subset.
  3. [Section 9, Table 10, and Section 1.2] The audit coding treats the absence of a reported metric as evidence of absence of a demonstrated capability. Table 10 records what papers chose to report (e.g., "None reported quantitatively"), but a paper that was not designed to measure planning latency or tool-call success is not evidence that the underlying system lacks those capabilities. This conflation is load-bearing for the audit claim. The paper should either analyze the actual capabilities of the underlying systems or explicitly reframe the finding as a statement about reporting practices and evaluation culture, not about demonstrated agentic maturity.
  4. [Section 9 and Table 10] The audit is described as covering "representative studies," but no inclusion/exclusion criteria, search protocol, or coding procedure is provided. Without a defined corpus, the reader cannot assess whether the selection is biased toward works reporting physical-layer metrics rather than agentic ones. At minimum, the authors should specify how the studies in Table 10 were selected and how the nine criteria were coded, so that the audit's negative result is reproducible and not an artifact of sample choice.
minor comments (5)
  1. [Section 4, opening paragraph] The sentence "Its exposes measurable physical states" should read "It exposes measurable physical states."
  2. [Section 2.2] The phrase "It was showed that RIS-enabled ISAC" should be "It was shown that RIS-enabled ISAC."
  3. [References, [42]] Reference [42] is missing its article title; it lists only the journal name, volume, pages, and year. Please supply the full title, as the same reference is used in Table 4 and the maturity discussion.
  4. [Table 4] Table 4 uses abbreviated citation labels such as [27,28] without a note explaining that these refer to the reference list; a short caption note or a dedicated column header would improve readability.
  5. [Section 3.3, Table 3] The comparison in Table 3 is useful, but the "Failure handling" row for the conventional column could benefit from a concrete example (e.g., a fallback beamforming policy) to match the specificity of the agentic column.

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged · score 0.0 of 10

No circularity: the survey framework is explicitly a synthesis, and the audit is an external evaluation whose headline overstates Table 10 without reducing to its inputs.

full rationale

The paper is a survey whose only quasi-empirical claim is the audit in Table 10. The audit applies the paper's own nine criteria to external representative studies; that is a standard evaluation design, not a derivation from the criteria. The central framework is explicitly a synthesis: Section 3.1 states 'Equation (1) is a synthesis introduced in this survey rather than a model adopted from a single prior work.' No equation is fitted, no parameter estimated from a subset is renamed as a prediction, and no uniqueness theorem from the authors' prior work is imported to force a choice. Although the paper self-cites works by the same group (e.g., [30, 66, 68, 69, 72]), those citations are used as literature examples in the review, not as load-bearing proof of the framework or the audit. The audit's headline is overstated relative to Table 10: Section 9 claims even the strongest examples 'report at most one or two dimensions,' while Table 10's agent-oriented row says 'All nine dimensions reported only descriptively, not measured.' That is an internal consistency and calibration problem, and the paper should have said 'quantitatively measured' rather than 'reported,' but it does not amount to circularity because the conclusion is not equivalent to the rubric by construction; it is an empirical, though imperfectly coded, summary of what the selected studies publish. The sample also includes works the paper itself classifies as L0-L2, making the absence of agentic metrics unsurprising, but the inclusion of L3 works [35, 36, 98] shows the gap claim is not purely definitional.

Assumptions & free parameters 0 free parameters · 3 assumptions · 0 invented entities

The survey's central claims rest on three non-trivial assumptions: the closed-loop abstraction is the right organizing principle, the nine evaluation criteria are the right yardstick, and unreported metrics can be read as missing capabilities. The first is a domain modeling choice, the second is the authors' own rubric, and the third is the riskiest because it powers the headline audit result. No free parameters were fitted and no new physical entities are introduced.

assumptions (3)
  • domain assumption The six-stage closed loop (observation to feedback, Eq. 1) is a faithful representation of the AISAC paradigm.
    This abstraction is introduced by the authors and used to classify all reviewed literature; if the loop is not the right decomposition, the maturity classification loses meaning.
  • ad hoc to paper The nine agentic-specific evaluation criteria (contextual correctness, uncertainty calibration, goal completion, planning latency, constraint violations, tool-call success, coordination overhead, recovery time, human-intervention frequency) are the appropriate measures of agentic maturity.
    The criteria are defined in this survey (Section 9) and are not taken from an external standard, so they could embed the authors' expectations about what agentic systems should report.
  • domain assumption A study that does not report a metric does not possess the corresponding capability.
    The audit treats absence of reported metrics as absence of demonstrated capability, which conflates reporting practice with system capability.

Agentic artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) from a function-oriented physical-layer technology into a goal-driven, closed-loop intelligent system, a paradigm we term AISAC. Existing work on learning-based sensing, resource allocation, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), edge intelligence, multi-agent coordination, and resilient networking has developed largely in isolation. This survey unifies the literature within a six-stage closed-loop framework comprising observation, contextualization, reasoning and prediction, planning and orchestration, execution and collaboration, and feedback and resilience. It also introduces five levels of agentic maturity, ranging from physical-layer primitives to fully closed-loop agentic ISAC. We use this framework to review advances in multimodal intelligence, large language models, reinforcement learning, federated learning, RIS-assisted control, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and vehicular networks, and AI-native network management, and analyze privacy, security, resilience, and sustainability as cross-cutting requirements of the full perception-reasoning-action loop. An audit of representative studies against nine agentic-specific evaluation criteria shows that no system reports more than one or two of them, exposing a gap between claimed and demonstrated agentic maturity. We identify open challenges in physical-to-semantic grounding, predictive world models, real-time agent-PHY interaction, safe tool use, heterogeneous multi-agent collaboration, benchmarking, and resource-efficient autonomy.
