Signal Processing for Integrated Sensing and Communications

By  Dr. Kumar Vijay Mishra

Abstract：

This is one of the VTS San Diego Chapter Distinguished Lecture series: This talk highlights recent advancements in Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC), emphasizing the optimization of resources for coexistence between advanced sensing and wireless communication systems. While prior work focuses on colocated ISAC, this tutorial explores emerging scenarios in collaborative and distributed ISAC, particularly at mm-Wave and THz frequencies and in dynamic vehicular environments. Key topics include architectures for distributed coexistence, sensor fusion, and heterogeneously distributed radar and communications. It also examines innovations like intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRS), 5G, passive IoT, and ISAC secrecy rate optimization. The goal is to inspire the radar, communications, and signal processing communities to explore this rapidly evolving field and foster cross-disciplinary collaboration.
