contents Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) enables numerous innovative wireless applications. Communication-centric design is a practical choice for the construction of the sixth generation (6G) ISAC networks. Continuous-wave-based ISAC systems, with orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) being a representative example, suffer from the self-interference (SI) problem, and hence are less suitable for long-range sensing. On the other hand, pulse-based half-duplex ISAC systems are free of SI, but are also less favourable for high-throughput communication scenarios. In this treatise, we propose MASked Modulation (MASM), a half-duplex ISAC waveform design scheme, which minimises a range blindness metric, termed as "mainlobe fluctuation", given a duty cycle (proportional to communication throughput) constraint. In particular, MASM is capable of supporting high-throughput communication ($\sim$50% duty cycle) under mild mainlobe fluctuation. Moreover, MASM can be flexibly adapted to frame-level waveform designs by operating on the slow-time scale. In terms of optimal transmit mask design, a set of masks is shown to be ideal in the sense of sidelobe level and mainlobe fluctuation intensity.
