Prof. Dr. Diana Moya Osorio\, ISY\, Linköping U niversity\, Sweden\n\nAbstract: Radar technology is undergoing rapid expan sion\, with applications now spanning military systems\, transportation\, healthcare\, personal security\, and robotics. Modern radars must therefor e become faster\, more adaptable\, and more intelligent. In parallel\, the wireless communication field is transitioning toward 6G\, with technical studies initiated in 3GPP Release 20 (2025–2026)\, leading to the first 6G specifications in Release 21 (2028–2029) and commercial deployment ex pected around 2030.\n\nRadar and wireless communication systems have tradi tionally evolved independently as core applications of electromagnetic wav es. However\, recent advances in antenna architectures\, hardware platform s\, and new spectrum allocations have brought their designs closer togethe r. Increasing spectrum congestion and rising data-rate demands from 5G and beyond have positioned the upper mid-band (7–24 GHz\, FR3) as a promisi ng region for both coverage and bandwidth. These developments have renewed interest in unified system designs that integrate sensing and communicati on\, enabling significant gains in spectrum and energy efficiency\, hardwa re reuse\, and computational savings.\n\nThis talk explores how modern wir eless networks can function as distributed sensor arrays capable of provid ing radio-based environmental perception and precise localization. This em erging paradigm\, known as Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC)\, i s a key topic in ongoing 6G standardization efforts. In this context\, we discuss how mobile networks can serve applications like drone detection an d tracking\, analysing waveform requirements\, cooperation strategies\, an tenna configurations\, and resource allocation trade-offs. While ISAC alon e cannot fully meet the strict demands of drone surveillance\, we aim to i dentify the potential contribution of mobile networks to this emerging use case. Finally\, we briefly address the security and privacy implications associated with ISAC-enabled systems.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Johannes Kepler University Linz\n\nSpeaker(s): Diana Moya Osorio\n\nRoom: MT 226/1\, Bldg: Science Park 1\, Johannes Kepler University Linz\, Altenbergerstr. 69\, L inz\, Oberosterreich\, Austria\, 4040 LOCATION:Room: MT 226/1\, Bldg: Science Park 1\, Johannes Kepler University Linz\, Altenbergerstr. 69\, Linz\, Oberosterreich\, Austria\, 4040 ORGANIZER:andreas.springer@jku.at SEQUENCE:12 SUMMARY:Talk @ JKU: Communications and Radar Convergence\, Feb. 18th\, 10:0 0 URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/538887 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>Talk of Assoc.
