Abstract

Integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) spans radiofrequency (RF), visible-light, optical-fiber, power-line, and acoustic systems, yet technology transfer across these domains remains underexplored. This article examines bidirectional knowledge and technology transfers centred on RF-ISAC. It shows how VLC motivates power-domain sensing, fiber enables differential referencing and distributed processing, and PLC inspires topology-aware monitoring and adaptive probing. Conversely, RF-ISAC contributes joint signal design, nuisance suppression, and weak-return recovery. The article highlights transferable principles, required adaptations to improve ISAC, and information potentially lost across physical media.
