Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC)

This advanced training provides a comprehensive overview of Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC)—an emerging paradigm that unifies wireless communication and environmental sensing into a single platform. ISAC is gaining attention as a key enabler for 6G networks, autonomous systems, smart cities, and defense applications by leveraging shared spectrum, hardware, and signal processing techniques to simultaneously transmit data and sense the environment. Participants will explore both theoretical foundations and practical implementation strategies of ISAC, including waveform design, joint resource allocation, target detection, and parameter estimation. The course also addresses challenges in interference management, trade-offs between sensing and communication performance, and hardware/software co-design for ISAC systems.
