In recent years, with the rapid development of information and communication technologies driven by automatic driving, intelligent integrated sensing and communications (IISC) has become an indispensable technology vital for future intelligent transportation systems. Meanwhile, 5G/6G-based Internet of Vehicles (IoV) technologies are also incorporating various communication means for intelligent cooperation among vehicles, pedestrians, and roadside devices.

With the continuous maturation and wide application of artificial intelligence (AI), technologies such as automatic driving, multi-vehicle collaborative virtual reality, and augmented reality information fusion are expected to expand the vision and sensing ability of a single vehicle, improving the safety and intelligence level of vehicle systems. Considering the rapid development of autopilot, IISC will break through the bottleneck of vehicle sensing capability and improve the safety and reliability of intelligent IoV systems through multi-vehicle coordination, sensing, and communication. IISC is an important research direction for the development of automatic driving technologies. Furthermore, combined with AI, it can help achieve the Internet of Everything and spawn numerous applications. However, there are still many challenges for IISC IoV systems, such as the design of communication sensing architecture, modeling and reconstruction in complex environments, channel parameter extraction, and target resolution and detection in dense dynamic situations.
