Signal Processing For Integrated Sensing And Communication (Isac) For 6G

Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) is believed to be a key feature of the next generation wireless communications. The use of higher frequency bands (from mmWave up to THz), wider bandwidth, and denser distribution of massive antenna arrays in future 6G systems will enable the integration of wireless signal sensing and communication in a single system to mutually enhance each other. Signal processing architectures and algorithms are the key to get information out of the sensing signals for different services and to enable collaboration between 6G nodes to jointly work on ISAC. To promote exchanges of views, ideas, and interesting research findings between experts and scholars in this field, we propose to have this panel at the flagship IEEE conference of signal processing. Dr. Peiying Zhu from Huawei will be the moderator for the interactive technical discussion, while experts in this field such as Prof. Wei Yu from University of Toronto, Prof. Petar Popvski from Aalborg University, Prof. Tho Le-Ngoc from McGill University, Prof. Natalia Nikolova from McMaster University and Professor Giuseppe Caire from Technical University of Berlin are the panelists that will share their views on topics such as joint signal framework for RF sensing and communication, sensing enhanced communication and localization, machine learning for the fusion of multi-dimensional sensing results, ISAC with THz bands and ISAC for V2X and UAV scenarios. Short presentations and themed interactive discussions will be combined to make the panel discussion constructive and fruitful.
