Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) is increasingly recognized as a pivotal technology for next-generation cellular networks, offering mutual benefits in both sensing and communication capabilities. This advancement necessitates a re-examination of the fundamental limits within networks where these two functionalities coexist via shared spectrum and infrastructures. However, traditional stochastic geometry-based performance analyses are confined to either communication or sensing networks separately. This paper bridges this gap by introducing a generalized stochastic geometry framework in ISAC networks. Based on this framework, we define and calculate the coverage rate of sensing and communication performance under resource constraints. Further, we present theoretical results for the coverage rate of unified ISAC performance, taking into account the coupling effects of dual functions in coexistence networks. Extensive numerical results validate the accuracy of all theoretical derivations, and also indicate that denser networks significantly enhance ISAC coverage. Specifically, increasing the base station density from 1 km-2to 10 km-2can boost the ISAC coverage rate from 1.4% to 39.8%.
