## Abstract (arXiv)

With the advent of emerging IoT applications such as autonomous driving, digital-twin and metaverse etc. featuring massive data sensing, analyzing and inference as well critical latency in beyond 5G (B5G) networks, edge artificial intelligence (AI) has been proposed to provide high-performance computation of a conventional cloud down to the network edge. Recently, convergence of wireless sensing, computation and communication (SC2) for specific edge AI tasks, has aroused paradigm shift by enabling (partial) sharing of the radio-frequency (RF) transceivers and information processing pipelines among these three fundamental functionalities of IoT. However, most existing design frameworks separate these designs incurring unnecessary signaling overhead and waste of energy, and it is therefore of paramount importance to advance fully integrated sensing, computation and communication (ISCC) to achieve ultra-reliable and low-latency edge intelligence acquisition. In this article, we provide an overview of principles of enabling ISCC technologies followed by two concrete use cases of edge AI tasks demonstrating the advantage of task-oriented ISCC, and pointed out some practical challenges in edge AI design with advanced ISCC solutions.
