Abstract
This letter proposes a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) assisted integrated sensing and hybrid symbiotic radio (ISAHSR) system, where the RIS is utilized to not only assist target sensing within the directions of interest, but also support hybrid symbiotic radio (HSR) communications with both parasitic SR (PSR) and commensal SR (CSR) in the absence of direct links. To enable HSR communications, we first introduce a hybrid modulation scheme combining RIS partitioning (RP) and hybrid phase shift (HPS), referred to as the RP–HPS scheme. For this scheme, we maximize the primary transmission performance under practical constraints on target sensing and hybrid secondary transmissions. A two-layer optimization framework is developed to obtain a high-quality solution. Then, we propose the Pure-HPS scheme, where both PSR and CSR setups are achieved solely through phase shift adjustments, eliminating the need for the RP operation. To optimize this scheme, we design a single-layer optimization algorithm with low complexity. Numerical results demonstrate that the Pure-HPS scheme achieves better performance with significantly reduced computational complexity compared to the RP–HPS scheme.
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.
