Keywords:
Integrated Sensing, Drones, Localization, Vehicle.Abstract
This paper explores the concept of Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC), a dual-use technology that combines sensing and communication capabilities into a unified system. As wireless communication networks evolve, ISAC is positioned to play a crucial role in overcoming existing limitations in network efficiency, coverage, and resource utilization. The study discusses current challenges in the field, including spectrum management, hardware complexity, power consumption, and security concerns. Additionally, it highlights future directions for ISAC, including advancements in artificial intelligence, edge computing, and high-frequency communication. Through interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation, ISAC technology has the potential to drive significant improvements in various applications such as autonomous vehicles, healthcare, and smart cities. By addressing these challenges and exploring new possibilities, ISAC offers a promising pathway toward more efficient, scalable, and adaptable communication and sensing systems.
