Scope and Objectives:
Recently, the integrated sensing and communications (ISAC), in which the sensing and communications share the same frequency band and hardware, has emerged as a key technology in future wireless systems (e.g., 6G and WiFi 7) to enable many important applications such as autonomous vehicles and extended reality (XR). Despite these early research efforts on ISAC, many open problems about ISAC still remain open, such as the unified theoretical frameworks, the fundamental performance limits, the ISAC waveform design, and the ISAC signal processing algorithms. In this SIG group, we provide a platform to bring together academic and industrial researchers to share their ideas and discuss the major technical challenges, recent breakthroughs, and new applications related to ISAC. Topics of interest of this SIG include, but are not limited to:
1. Fundamental information theoretical limits for ISAC
2. Network architectures and communication protocols for ISAC
3. Waveform/sequence/coding/modulation/beamforming design for ISAC
4. MIMO, massive MIMO, and intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) for ISAC
5. Millimeter wave and THz ISAC
6. ISAC in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and vehicular-to-everything (V2X) networks
7. Machine learning/AI enhanced ISAC
8. Channel measurement and modelling for ISAC
9. System-level simulation, prototyping, and field-tests for ISAC
10. Standardization of ISAC
