Integrated Sensing and Communications for Future Wireless Networks

Integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) is being seen as a technology to enable emerging applications such as vehicular networks, environmental monitoring, remote sensing, IoT, smart cities. Importantly, ISAC has been identified as an enabling technology for B5G/6G, and the next-generation Wi-Fi system. ISAC brings together a range of technologies: radar sensing, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, holographic surfaces through to high frequency terahertz, PHY security, channel signaling, multiple access and machine learning. Integrated Sensing and Communications for Future Wireless Networks: Principles, Key Enabling Technologies and Advances presents the principles, methods and algorithms of ISAC, an overview of the essential enabling technologies, as well as the latest research and future directions. Suitable for academic researchers and post graduate students as well as industry R&D engineers, this book is the definitive reference in this interdisciplinary field. Gives an overview of ISAC technology - its potential, the challenges and future research trajectoryPresents dual function ISAC waveform design capabilities including frequency hopping, radar chirp and frequency permutationsIncludes discussion of the following technologies:Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS); Holographic multiple input multiple output (MIMO) Surfaces; Multiple access schemes such as rate splitting multiple access; Machine learning approaches for ISAC; Terahertz (THz) envisioned ISAC and index modulation; Channel estimation, communications, control and localization for ISAC applications
