This paper studies the transmit beamforming in a downlink integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system, where a base station (BS) equipped with a uniform linear array (ULA) sends combined information-bearing and dedicated radar signals to simultaneously perform downlink multiuser communication and radar target sensing. Under this setup, we maximize the radar sensing performance (in terms of minimizing the beampattern matching errors or maximizing the minimum beampattern gains), subject to the communication users minimum signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) requirements and the BSs transmit power constraints. In particular, we consider two types of communication receivers, namely Type-I and Type-II receivers, which do not have and do have the capability of cancelling the interference from the {emph{a-priori}} known dedicated radar signals, respectively. Under both Type-I and Type-II receivers, the beampattern matching and minimum beampattern gain maximization problems are globally optimally solved via applying the semidefinite relaxation (SDR) technique together with the rigorous proof of the tightness of SDR for both Type-I and Type-II receivers under the two design criteria. It is shown that at the optimality, dedicated radar signals are not required with Type-I receivers under some specific conditions, while dedicated radar signals are always needed to enhance the performance with Type-II receivers. Numerical results show that the minimum beampattern gain maximization leads to significantly higher beampattern gains at the worst-case sensing angles with a much lower computational complexity than the beampattern matching design. It is also shown that by exploiting the capability of canceling the interference caused by the radar signals, the case with Type-II receivers results in better sensing performance than that with Type-I receivers and other conventional designs.

In this paper, we develop an analytical framework for the initial access (a.k.a. Base Station (BS) discovery) in a millimeter-wave (mm-wave) communication system and propose an effective strategy for transmitting the Reference Signals (RSs) used for BS discovery. Specifically, by formulating the problem of BS discovery at User Equipments (UEs) as hypothesis tests, we derive a detector based on the Generalised Likelihood Ratio Test (GLRT) and characterise the statistical behaviour of the detector. The theoretical results obtained allow analysis of the impact of key system parameters on the performance of BS discovery, and show that RS transmission with narrow beams may not be helpful in improving the overall BS discovery performance due to the cost of spatial scanning. Using the method of large deviations, we identify the desirable beam pattern that minimises the average miss-discovery probability of UEs within a targeted detectable region. We then propose to transmit the RS with sequential scanning, using a pre-designed codebook with narrow and/or wide beams to approximate the desirable patterns. The proposed design allows flexible choices of the codebook sizes and the associated beam widths to better approximate the desirable patterns. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper jointly optimizes the flying location and wireless communication transmit power for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) conducting covert operations. This is motivated by application scenarios such as military ground surveillance from airborn e platforms, where it is vital for a UAVs signal transmission to be undetectable by those within the surveillance region. Specifically, we maximize the communication quality to a legitimate ground receiver outside the surveillance region, subject to: a covertness constraint, a maximum transmit power constraint, and a physical location constraint determined by the required surveillance quality. We provide an explicit solution to the optimization problem for one of the most practical constraint combinations. For other constraint combinations, we determine feasible regions for flight, that can then be searched to establish the UAVs optimal location. In many cases, the 2-dimensional optimal location is achieved by a 1-dimensional search. We discuss two heuristic approaches to UAV placement, and show that in some cases they are able to achieve close to optimal, but that in other cases significant gains can be achieved by employing our developed solutions.
This paper investigates the integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) in vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) networks. To realize ISAC, an effective beamforming design is essential which however, highly depends on the availability of accurate channel t racking requiring large training overhead and computational complexity. Motivated by this, we adopt a deep learning (DL) approach to implicitly learn the features of historical channels and directly predict the beamforming matrix to be adopted for the next time slot to maximize the average achievable sum-rate of an ISAC system. The proposed method can bypass the need of explicit channel tracking process and reduce the signaling overhead significantly. To this end, a general sum-rate maximization problem with Cramer-Rao lower bounds (CRLBs)-based sensing constraints is first formulated for the considered ISAC system. Then, by exploiting the penalty method, a versatile unsupervised DL-based predictive beamforming design framework is developed to address the formulated design problem. As a realization of the developed framework, a historical channels-based convolutional long short-term memory (LSTM) network (HCL-Net) is devised for predictive beamforming in the ISAC-based V2I network. Specifically, the convolution and LSTM modules are successively adopted in the proposed HCL-Net to exploit the spatial and temporal dependencies of communication channels to further improve the learning performance. Finally, simulation results show that the proposed predictive method not only guarantees the required sensing performance, but also achieves a satisfactory sum-rate that can approach the upper bound obtained by the genie-aided scheme with the perfect instantaneous channel state information.
We consider the problem of quantifying the Pareto optimal boundary in the achievable rate region over multiple-input single-output (MISO) interference channels, where the problem boils down to solving a sequence of convex feasibility problems after c ertain transformations. The feasibility problem is solved by two new distributed optimal beamforming algorithms, where the first one is to parallelize the computation based on the method of alternating projections, and the second one is to localize the computation based on the method of cyclic projections. Convergence proofs are established for both algorithms.

With the continuous increase of the spectrum and antennas, endogenous sensing is now possible in the fifth generation and future wireless communication systems. However, sensing is a highly complex task for a heterogeneous communication network with massive connections. Seeking multi-domain cooperation is necessary. In this article, we present an integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system that performs active, passive, and interactive sensing in different stages of communication through hardware and software. We also propose different methods about how multi-user and multi-frequency band cooperate to further enhance the ISAC systems performance. Finally, we elaborate on the advantages of multi-domain cooperation from the physical layer to the network layer for the ISAC system.
