Sensing Using Coded Communications Signals

Abstract

A key challenge for common waveforms for Integrated Sensing and Communicationswidely regarded as a resource-efficient way to achieve high performance for both functionalities -lies in leveraging information-bearing channel-coded communications signal(s) (c.c.s) for sensing. In this paper, we investigate the range-Doppler sensing performance of c.c.s in multi-user interference-limited scenarios, and show that it is affected by sidelobes whose form depends on whether the c.c.s modulates a singlecarrier or OFDM waveform. While uncoded signals give rise to asymptotically zero sidelobes due to the law of large numbers, it is not obvious that the same holds for c.c.s, as structured codes (e.g., linear block codes) induce dependence across codeword symbols. In this paper, we show that c.c.s also give rise to asymptotically zero sidelobes -for both single-carrier and OFDM waveforms -by deriving upper bounds for the tail probabilities of the sidelobe magnitudes that decay as exp(−O(code rate × block length)). Consequently, for any code rate, c.c.s are effective sensing signals that are robust to multi-user interference at sufficiently large block lengths, with negligible difference in performance based on whether they modulate a single-carrier or OFDM waveform. We verify the latter implication through simulations, where we observe the sensing performance (i.e., the detection and false-alarm probabilities) of a QPSK-modulated c.c.s (code rate = 120/1024, block length = 1024 symbols) to match that of a comparable interference-free FMCW waveform even at high interference levels (SIR of −11dB), for both single-carrier and OFDM waveforms.

Strengthening the Open Proportional Election System after the Constitutional Court Decision Number 114/PUU-XX/2022 from the Perspective of People's Sovereignty

“…According to Suhartoyo, the Constitutional Court Judge, [11] So with an open proportional system has several advantages, both for voters, candidates for legislative candidates, and political parties, among others, for voters, given the widest possible space for aspirations and public participation to elect people's representatives directly in accordance with the desired figure and; for candidates, can garner support directly from the people so that they can be elected in elections; Political parties, the degree of representation is very high, with the support of obtaining seats that are comparable to the support of the people's votes so that legitimacy in the eyes of Rayat is also high.…”

Beamforming Design for Integrated Sensing and Wireless Power Transfer Systems

“…The takeaway is that, while the (complex) symbol mean is essential for sensing, the sensing's performance is not affected by either having identical or different means on the real and imaginary symbol parts, as long as the total power allocated to the symbol means is fixed, which is in sharp contrast with the powering system's preference as it has been mentioned. • From 'B' to 'C', the aISPLD is looser (from −0.998 to = −0.94), but the achievable rate constraint, C min , is tighter (from 0 to 0.82 bits/s/Hz) 7 . Since the sensing and communications constraints are non-trivial, 'C' corresponds to an input distribution designed for ISCAP.…”

“…This calls for better spectrum utilization to accommodate more users and services, as well as a sustainable energizing technique [1]- [3]. For the former, integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) using a common transmit signal has been widely investigated [4]- [7]. For the latter, thanks to the consistent decrease in the power consumption of wireless devices [8], wireless information and power transfer (WIPT) has been regarded as a promising technique to provide sustainable powering, by generating power from the communicating RF signals.…”
