Overview

Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) studies how wireless systems can transmit data and simultaneously detect or track people, vehicles, and other targets. Common approaches reuse OFDM and other communication signals, jointly optimize waveforms, beamforming, and resource allocation, or apply learning methods to channel-state information and multimodal sensor data. Recent work also explores task-oriented and semantic communication, where systems transmit only information needed for goals such as obstacle avoidance or coordinated vehicle motion. The field spans simulations, public datasets, and hardware testbeds, but balancing sensing accuracy, communication quality, latency, energy use, and safety under real-world conditions remains a central challenge.
