A simultaneously transmitting and reflecting surface (STARS) enabled integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) framework is proposed, where the entire space is partitioned by STARS into a sensing space and a communication space. A novel sensing-at-STARS structure is proposed, where dedicated sens...
