Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC): Goals and Examples

prof. dr hab. inż Tomasz P. Zieliński

Tomasz Piotr Zieliński received the M.Sc. and D.Sc. degrees in electronics and electrical engineering from the AGH University of Science and Technology (AGH-UST), Krakow, Poland, in 1982 and 1996, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia, Bulgaria, in 1988.,Since 2006, he has been a Full Professor with the Department of Telecommunications, AGH-UST. In 2021, he authored the textbook Starting Digital Signal Processing in Telecommunication Engineering. A Laboratory-Based Course published by Springer Nature. His research interests include advanced digital signal processing in telecommunication, biomedical and smart power delivery systems, particularly time-frequency, and time-scale signal analysis.

Keynote talk description:

In the beginning, fundamental ISAC goals will be presented. Then, it will be shown how to transform standard OFDM-based receivers to OFDM-based passive radars. Similarity of such radars to cross-ambiguity-based ones will be shown. Next, practical examples of using DAB, DVB-T2 and 5G in OFDM-based passive radars will be presented. Finally, a new orthogonal time frequency space modulation (OTFS), introduced recently, will be described, and its usage to integrated sensing and communications in high-mobility scenarios will be explained.
