Submission Deadline: March 31, 2025
Aims & Scope:
6G vertical services, such as autonomous driving, Industry 4.0, and contactless health monitoring will all require the integration of sensing and communication functions, known as integrated sensing and communications (ISAC), aiming to embed sensing capabilities into base stations and user devices. The development and realization of ISAC in 6G networks require knowledge of radio propagation and duplication of hardware, e.g., antennas and antenna arrays. To this end, the special section aspires to bring together world-leading researchers to share their latest research findings with regard to innovative antenna design and fundamental understanding of radio propagation for ISAC.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Broadband or multi-band antenna and array designs for ISAC applications
- Antenna and array designs for full-duplex systems
- SI cancellation methodologies in microwave and mmWave
- Antenna-in-Package and Antenna-on-Chip for ISAC applications
- Development of channel sounder and measurement methodologies for ISAC channel characterization
- Radar cross-section (RCS) characterization of typical objects (e.g., people, buildings, vehicles, and machinery) in the environments
- Advances in ISAC channel modeling, e.g., ray-based, stochastic, and hybrid channel models
- Recent (pre-)standardization activities of ISAC channel modeling in e.g., 3GPP, ETSI, and ITU
Keywords:
- Integrated sensing and communications
- Full-duplex systems
