Deep Learning Based Multi-Node ISAC 4D Environmental Reconstruction with Uplink- Downlink Cooperation

Utilizing widely distributed communication nodes to achieve environmental reconstruction is one of the significant scenarios for Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) and a crucial technology for 6G. To achieve this crucial functionality, we propose a deep learning based multi-node ISAC 4D environment reconstruction method with Uplink-Downlink (UL-DL) cooperation, which employs virtual aperture technology, Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) detection, and Mutiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) algorithm to maximize the sensing capabilities of single sensing nodes. Simultaneously, it introduces a cooperative environmental reconstruction scheme involving multi-node cooperation and Uplink-Downlink (UL-DL) cooperation to overcome the limitations of single-node sensing caused by occlusion and limited viewpoints. Furthermore, the deep learning models Attention Gate Gridding Residual Neural Network (AGGRNN) and Multi-View Sensing Fusion Network (MVSFNet) to enhance the density of sparsely reconstructed point clouds are proposed, aiming to restore as many original environmental details as possible while preserving the spatial structure of the point cloud. Additionally, we propose a multi-level fusion strategy incorporating both data-level and feature-level fusion to fully leverage the advantages of multi-node cooperation. Experimental results demonstrate that the environmental reconstruction performance of this method significantly outperforms other comparative method, enabling high-precision environmental reconstruction using ISAC system.

ISAC 4D Imaging System Based on 5G Downlink Millimeter Wave Signal

Integrated Sensing and Communication(ISAC) has become a key technology for the 5th generation (5G) and 6th generation (6G) wireless communications due to its high spectrum utilization efficiency. Utilizing infrastructure such as 5G Base Stations (BS) to realize environmental imaging and reconstruction is important for promoting the construction of smart cities. Current 4D imaging methods utilizing Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) based Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) are not suitable for ISAC scenarios due to the higher bandwidth occupation and lower resolution. We propose a 4D (3D-Coordinates, Velocity) imaging method with higher sensing accuracy based on 2D-FFT with 2D-MUSIC utilizing standard 5G Downlink (DL) millimeter wave (mmWave) signals. To improve the sensing precision we also design a transceiver antenna array element arrangement scheme based on MIMO virtual aperture technique. We further propose a target detection algorithm based on multi-dimensional Constant False Alarm (CFAR) detection, which optimizes the ISAC imaging signal processing flow and reduces the computational pressure of signal processing. Simulation results show that our proposed method has better imaging results. The code is publicly available at https://github.com/MrHaobolu/ISAC\_4D\_IMaging.git.
