Abstract

Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) technology

regarded as one of the potential key technologies for 6G

expands the functional boundaries of communication systems by deeply integrating communication and sensing functions. Through a multi-dimensional analysis of the application trends

geographical layouts

and major innovative entities of patents related to 6G ISAC technology

the development paths of patent technologies for the main technical branches

including waveform design

interference and resource management

beamforming

and reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) assistance

were systematically sorted out. This analysis revealed the layout and competitive landscape of related technologies on a global scale. From the perspective of patents

the research hotspots and development trends of 6G ISAC technology were disclosed

providing strong guidance and reference for domestic research on related technologies.
