Integrated Sensing and Communication in Next‐Generation Wireless Networks: Insights and Trends
Shatakshi Singh, Umashankar Samal
Abstract
ABSTRACT Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC), wherein sensing and communication share the same frequency band and hardware, has emerged as a pivotal technology in future wireless systems. A thorough study is required for researchers because ISAC has attracted a lot of interest and attention from academia and industry. In this paper, we present a bibliometric review that seeks to map the current state of ISAC research by addressing three crucial aspects. The aspects are (1) locating key journals, and significant authors, and creating network maps within ISAC; (2) defining theme‐based clusters based on keyword co‐occurrence analysis; and (3) developing a strong research framework to direct future ISAC investigations. This study provides profound insights and a structured foundation for researchers, enhancing the understanding and development of ISAC technologies. By highlighting significant advancements and research trends, this review aims to foster further innovation and academic discourse in the field of ISAC.
