AI 中文摘要
传统基于电磁（EM）的集成传感与通信（ISAC）系统在杂乱、受阻和射频不利环境中性能下降，而宏观分子通信（MC）作为ISAC介质尚未得到充分探索。本文介绍了VaporISAC，一种分子ISAC框架，其中化学蒸汽脉冲同时传输信息并探测传播环境，实现一个信号、两个输出范式。对接收到的波形进行联合处理以恢复传输信息并推断环境特性。VaporISAC补充了现有方法，还介绍了其传感原理等内容，使其成为有前景的新范式。
英文摘要
Conventional electromagnetic (EM)-based integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) systems degrade in cluttered, obstructed, and radio-frequency-hostile environments, while macroscopic molecular communication (MC) remains largely unexplored as an ISAC medium. This article introduces VaporISAC, a molecular ISAC framework in which chemical vapor pulses simultaneously convey information and probe the propagation environment, enabling a one signal, two outputs paradigm. The same received waveform is jointly processed to recover transmitted information and infer environmental properties such as airflow, turbulence, smoke, and chemical conditions. Rather than replacing conventional EM-based ISAC, VaporISAC complements existing approaches in chemically dynamic, infrastructure-limited, and EM-challenged environments. The sensing principles, system architecture, proof-of-concept demonstrations, emerging applications, and open research challenges of VaporISAC are presented, positioning it as a promising new paradigm for resilient communication and environmental sensing.
