At TNO, we have developed a basic ISAC (Integrated Sensing and Communication) testbed using URSPs and aim to integrate it with our existing B5G/6G testbed. This way, we want to test the feasibility and scope of ISAC, determine use-cases and do sensitivity analysis on its performance with respect to change in number of nodes (transmitters and receivers), waveform parameters, object types, etc. Key activities of the proposed project include: (1) To enhance the available ISAC testbed that enables both monostatic and bistatic sensing of nearby objects using OFDM waveform generated using USRP(s). (2) To integrate radio resource management solutions that addresses (sensing and communications) topology management, scheduling, beamforming with the prototype. This would emulate a more real-life scenario where communications and sensing would happen together. (3) To utilise aforementioned simulator to conduct an extensive set of experiments of either AI/ML-based or heuristic solutions for a range of relevant scenarios and possibly distinct optimisation timescales. (4) To derive key insights and conclusions w.r.t. both the attainable performance and the sensitivity thereof w.r.t. selected scenario aspects and the performance trade-off between communication and sensing tasks. This master graduation project follows a previous master graduation project, and involves closely working with TNO employees. Further, the project will be conducted as part of the large nationally funded research programme ‘Future Network Services’, bringing together >60 partners for a targeted period of six years. The proposed MSc project is envisioned to involve collaborations/regular interactions with FNS partners.
