项目摘要

Sensing is envisioned as an indispensable part to construct an intelligent in-building environment. Compared to well-developed wireless communications, radio/radar sensing is still in its infancy for indoor networks. As 5G and beyond wireless networks will be ubiquitous indoors, it is particularly attractive to realise extra sensing capability that is piggybacked on indoor wireless networks.Recent developments in dual-functional radar-communication (DFRC) systems represent an excellent opportunity to integrate wireless communications and radar sensing indoors. For an indoor DFRC system, its communication and sensing (C&S) performance largely depends on the DFRC transceiver and the radio environment. Even though major efforts have been made on designing DFRC transceivers, radio environments as another key element to realise the potential of DFRC for integrated C&S remain unexplored. To realise the potential of DFRC systems for integrated C&S, the CIRED project will: 1) Define a set of metrics to measure the C&S performance of indoor radio environments; 2) Establish mathematical models to characterise the impact of indoor radio environments on DFRC systems; and 3) Develop advanced algorithms to optimally customise indoor radio environments for C&S. The achievement of these objectives will significantly enhance the C&S performance of indoor DFRC systems. The project is timely as integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) is critical for 6G networks.

感知被认为是构建智能内部构建环境的必不可少的部分。与发达的无线通信相比，无线电/雷达传感仍处于室内网络的起步阶段。由于5G及以后的无线网络将是无处不在的室内，因此实现额外的感应能力特别有吸引力，在室内无线网络上可以背负额外的感应能力。阳性雷达雷达通信（DFRC）系统的发展代表了整合无线通信和雷达传感的绝佳机会。对于室内DFRC系统，其通信和传感（C＆S）性能很大程度上取决于DFRC收发器和无线电环境。尽管在设计DFRC收发器方面已做出了重大努力，但无线电环境是实现DFRC对集成C＆S潜力的另一个关键要素，但仍未得到探索。为了实现DFRC系统对集成C＆S的潜力，CIRD项目将：1）定义一组指标来衡量室内无线电环境的C＆S性能； 2）建立数学模型来表征室内无线电环境对DFRC系统的影响； 3）开发高级算法，以最佳定制C＆S室内无线电环境。这些目标的实现将显着提高室内DFRC系统的C＆S性能。该项目是及时的，因为集成的传感和通信（ISAC）对于6G网络至关重要。
