To this end, we propose ISACoT as the framework for enabling Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) over IoT devices. ISACoT extends over existing devices via four aspects, namely time, frequency, space, and protocol. We argue that, as the multistatic communication infrastructure of IoT is adverse to device-free sensing (e.g., lack of precise time synchronization), the keystone of ISACoT should be to operate sensing in a monostatic mode (like radar). We tackle the fundamental time aspect based on Wi-Fi first, then explore the other three aspects with both preliminary proposals made and potential challenges raised for future extensions.","PeriodicalId":203933,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1st ACM MobiCom Workshop on Integrated Sensing and Communications Systems","volume":"2 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128781412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The existing methods mainly include waveform design without Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) or the sensing-based waveform design with RIS, which usually degrade the comprehensive performance. To address this issue, the comprehensive waveform design with RIS is proposed, where we jointly maximizing the Signal-to-Interference-and-Noise-Ratio (SINR) for radar and minimizing the RIS-aided Multiple User Interference (MUI). Due to the coupling effect between the phase shifts and waveform, the problem is difficult to solve. Additionally, the CM constraint on both the phase shifts and waveform along with the fractional SINR expression further aggravate the difficulty. To address these issues, a Decoupled Online Learning Network (DOL-Net) method is proposed using the characteristic of multiple input to multiple output mapping, which includes trainable network parameters module, loss calculation module and back-propagation module. Given fixed network parameters, the cost function can be calculated in the loss calculation module. Then, the network parameters are trained by the deep learning optimizer to minimize the loss function. Compared with the existing methods, the proposed method obtains 0.69 dB radar SINR enhancement and 138.8 % communication sum rate improvement.","PeriodicalId":203933,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1st ACM MobiCom Workshop on Integrated Sensing and Communications Systems","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132985392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To tackle this problem, wireless power transfer (WPT) is expected to enable the wirelessly powered ISAC, where the edge nodes equipped with multiple antennas are powered by the beacon and then perform ISAC. To improve the sensing accuracy while guaranteeing the communication throughput, the power control, WPT energy beamforming, and ISAC beamforming are jointly optimized, which results in a non-convex problem.

Due to the coupling between the digital and analog beamformers in the hybrid beamforming structure, the resultant problem is NP-hard. Towards this end, a consensus alternating direction method of multipliers (CADMM) approach is developed, by decoupling the digital precoder and the analog precoder with auxiliary variables. In each iteration, the digital precoder can be analytically obtained, while the analog precoder is designed via a phase-only beamforming method. Both the communication and radar receivers are optimized through the generalized eigenvalue decomposition.

Existing surveys have two important problems: weak robustness and low efficiency. To address them, this article put forward to learn domain independent features, model training and inference localization based on federated transfer learning. Moreover, several efficient methods are proposed to provide a distributed edge device-free sensing mechanism with sensing data privacy protection, low time cost, communication, computing and energy resources.
