Goals:
Imagine a future where our wireless devices do more than just talk to each other. They can also "see" and "feel" their surroundings, gathering valuable information about the environment. This is the promise of Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC), and millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies are the key to unlocking its full potential. Leveraging the abundant bandwidth at mmWave band (30GHz ~ 300GHz), which are currently being explored for future generation of wireless communication systems (cellular and Wi-Fi), radar-like precise and multi-target detection can be implemented, with applications in drone detection, physiological monitoring, smart RAN etc. This VIP project, therefore, see to develop new techniques and technologies to make ISAC a reality at mmWave frequencies.
Key elements:
mmWave, integrated sensing and communication.
Research issues:
The research tasks of the project include:
• Develop efficient hardware: Create integrated circuits that can perform both sensing and communication functions with minimal power consumption.
• Design smart waveforms: Create signals that can simultaneously transmit data and gather information about the environment.
• Optimize resource allocation: Find the best way to share resources like power and bandwidth between sensing and communication tasks.
• Showcase applications: demonstrate ISAC applications in drone detection, physiological sensing, smart RAN, etc.
In essence, this project aims to create a new generation of wireless systems that are not just smarter, but also more aware of their surroundings. By combining the power of ISAC with the unique capabilities of mmWave frequencies, we can pave the way for a truly connected and intelligent future.
