Abstract: Joint Communication and Sensing (JC&S) represents a transformative paradigm in embedded wireless networks, integrating conventional wireless communication with environmental sensing capabilities. By leveraging the same hardware and spectral resources for both tasks, JC&S systems enhance spectrum efficiency, reduce hardware costs, and enable real-time situational awareness. This review comprehensively discusses the principles, architectures, enabling technologies, and applications of JC&S in embedded systems. Key techniques such as radar-assisted communications, waveform design, and machine learning-based signal processing are explored. Additionally, challenges related to hardware limitations, interference management, and energy efficiency are critically analyzed. Future directions emphasizing intelligent adaptive networks, edge computing integration, and multi-modal sensing are highlighted. The paper also presents comparative tables and figures summarizing current research trends and technological trade-offs.
Keywords: Joint Communication and Sensing, Embedded Wireless Networks, Radar-Assisted Communication, Waveform Design, Spectrum Efficiency, IoT, Edge Computing
