Recently it was shown that cosmic anisotropy can be well tested using either standard siren measurement of luminosity distance dL(z) from gravitational-wave (GW) observation or dispersion measure (DM(z)) from fast radio burst (FRB). It was also observed that the combined measurement of dL(z)⋅DM(z) from the GW/FRB association system as suggested in some of FRB models is more effective to constrain cosmological parameters than dL(z) or DM(z) separately due to its independence from Hubble constant. In this paper, we will show both theoretically and with simulation that, this upgraded sirens from combined GW/FRB observations could test cosmic anisotropy with a double relative sensitivity compared to the usual standard siren from GW observation alone.
