Abstract: Mobile network is evolving from a communication-only network towards one with integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) capabilities, which we call a perceptive mobile network (PMN). It is expected to become part of the 6G mobile communications standard. In PMNs, sensing can be seamlessly realized by using the received communication signals, leveraging communications infrastructure. This talk reviews the latest technologies that enable ISAC in PMN. We first introduce a framework of PMN and discuss required system modifications to enable sensing on current communication-only infrastructure. Within the context of PMN, we review stimulating research problems and elaborate on the solutions to sensing parameter estimation in mono-static and bi-static setups.
Biography: Dr J. Andrew Zhang (M'04-SM'11) is a Professor in the School of Electrical and Data Engineering, University of Technology Sydney, Australia. His research interests are in the area of signal processing for wireless communications and sensing. Prof. Zhang has published more than 270 papers in leading Journals and conference proceedings, and has won 5 best paper awards. He is a recipient of CSIRO Chairman's Medal and the Australian Engineering Innovation Award in 2012 for exceptional research achievements in multi-gigabit wireless communications. Prof. Zhang is one of the pioneer researchers in integrated sensing and communications (ISAC). He initiated the concept of perceptive mobile network, by defining its system framework and demonstrating its feasibility in a set of papers back in 2017. Prof. Zhang co-organized a number of ISAC workshops at leading conferences and special issues in leading IEEE journals. He has delivered ISAC tutorials in WCNC 2021, ICC 2021, and ICC 2022, and numerous keynotes and invited talks. He is serving as the publication co-chair of the IEEE Communication Society's Integrated Sensing and Communication Emerging Technology Initiative (ISAC-ETI) and the Editor-in-Chief for its official publication, the ISAC-Focus. Prof. Zhang has received more than five million dollars of research funds in this area. For details, please refer to https://sites.google.com/view/andrewzhang/.
