Abstract

To support the development of low altitude economy, the air-ground integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) networks need to be constructed to provide reliable and robust communication and sensing services. In this paper, the sensing capabilities in the cooperative air-ground ISAC networks are evaluated in terms of area radar detection coverage probability under a constant false alarm rate, where the distribution of aggregated sensing interferences is analyzed as a key intermediate result. Compared with the analysis based on the strongest interferer approximation, taking the aggregated sensing interference into consideration is better suited for pico-cell scenarios with high base station density. Simulations are conducted to validate the analysis.
