Abstract
This letter presents a novel framework for integrated sensing and communication in WLAN systems. The proposed approach adapts multi-user multi-input multi-output precoder of Wi-Fi systems to enable simultaneous communication and sensing and simplifies power allocation between both tasks as an independent optimization problem while requiring minimal software upgrades. A flexible power allocation method optimizes signal-to-noise-plus-interference-ratio (SINR) balancing for users and targets, accommodating trade-offs between communication and sensing. Numerical results demonstrate the framework’s effectiveness in achieving balanced SINR and enhancing integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) performance.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Communications Letters publishes short papers in a rapid publication cycle on advances in the state-of-the-art of communication over different media and channels including wire, underground, waveguide, optical fiber, and storage channels. Both theoretical contributions (including new techniques, concepts, and analyses) and practical contributions (including system experiments and prototypes, and new applications) are encouraged. This journal focuses on the physical layer and the link layer of communication systems.
