Webinar Overview

This webinar will explore a novel subcarrier allocation strategy for enhancing the communications-sensing performance tradeoff in wideband integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) systems. The presentation focuses on optimizing dual-functional waveforms across the entire bandwidth.

The proposed method selectively assigns subcarriers for radar sensing while enabling communication across the full bandwidth. This ensures dedicated subcarriers for communications without radar interference, while maintaining sensing accuracy.

The presenters will discuss a sum rate maximization problem and a three-step solution with efficient initialization methods. Simulation results demonstrate a 70% improvement in sum rate while maintaining radar beampattern accuracy and requiring fewer RF chains.
