contents We propose a cooperative sensing framework for mmWave ISAC networks in which a target is sensed by its nearest BS while opportunistically exploiting bistatic echoes from neighboring BSs. Cooperation requires no dedicated resources or exchange of sensing results, and is realized via non-coherent echo-power combining. Using stochastic geometry, we characterize sensing/communication coverage and rates and, for the first time, the cooperative sensing meta-distribution to quantify reliability across targets. Results show substantial sensing gains with limited communication loss and improved high-reliability tail, increasing the fraction of targets meeting stringent reliability guarantees crucial for safety-critical applications.
