Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) is an emerging technology that integrates communication and sensing functions into a single system, offering new possibilities for future wireless networks. A key challenge in ISAC systems is optimizing the trade-offs between sensing and communication performance. Both functions often compete for limited resources, such as spectrum, energy, and hardware, making it essential to balance their performance for maximum system efficiency.
Equally important are channel models that account for the correlation between the sensed channel and the communication channel. These models are crucial for accurately characterizing the interactions between communication and sensing, leading to more effective systems that minimize interference and optimize resource usage.
This Special Issue will focus on trade-off analysis and advanced channel modeling in ISAC systems. Contributions will also explore applications in vehicular communications, where ISAC enables enhanced safety and low-latency communication, and in industrial environments, where it facilitates real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and efficient resource management. We invite researchers to submit works that address both the theoretical foundations and practical implementations of ISAC, providing insights into the future of integrated systems in these domains.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Entropy is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
