Title

Signal Processing for Integrated Sensing and Communications

Abstract

In this talk, we focus on the recent developments toward distributed integrated sensing and communications (ISAC). We consider a broad definition of coexistence, which covers ISAC, collaborative communications, and sensing with interference. Toward fully realizing the coexistence of the two systems, optimization of resources for both new/futuristic sensing and wireless communications modalities is crucial. These synergistic approaches that exploit the interplay between state sensing and communications are both driving factors and opportunities for many current signal processing and information-theoretic techniques. Building on the existing approaches, the lecture focuses on highlighting emerging scenarios in collaborative and distributed ISAC, particularly at mm-Wave and THz frequencies, highly dynamic vehicular/automotive environments that would benefit from information exchange between the two systems. It presents the architectures and possible methodologies for mutually beneficial distributed co-existence and co-design, including sensor fusion and heterogeneously distributed radar and communications.

Speaker

Dr. Kumar Vijay Mishra is a Senior Fellow at the U.S. DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory and a Research Scientist at the Institute for Systems Research, University of Maryland, College Park. He is an IEEE GRSS Distinguished Lecturer (2024–2025) and has also served as a Distinguished Lecturer for multiple IEEE societies. His research interests include radar systems, signal processing, integrated sensing and communications, remote sensing, and electromagnetics.
