Abstract: Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) technology offers distinct advantages in the design of integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) systems, such as reshaping the wireless signal propagation environment and regulating signal waveforms. This paper systematically reviews the latest research advances in beamforming design for RIS-assisted ISAC systems. Typical optimization algorithms and corresponding application performance of existing beamforming schemes are summarized and analyzed from three perspectives: passive RIS, active RIS, and hybrid RIS. Meanwhile, the technical challenges confronted in beamforming design for RIS-assisted ISAC systems are dissected. Finally, future research trends in this field are prospected from four aspects: intelligent beamforming, security and privacy optimization, energy efficiency optimization, and near-field propagation beamforming design, so as to provide references for relevant subsequent optimization design.
