The Degrees-of-Freedom in Monostatic ISAC Channels: NLoS Exploitation vs. Reduction
in IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology
| Description | This project substantially contributed towards the evolution of next-generation wireless networks. A few of the key findings are: 1/ The designer can strike a compelling trade-off amongst the entire suite of performance metrics of next-generation networks based on our findings; 2/ The space-air-ground integrated networking (SAGIN) concept is capable of eliminating the coverage holes of existing networks; 3/ New perfectly secure quantum networking concepts were developed; |
| Exploitation Route | These findings will gradually influence both academic and industrial research; |

| Description | 1/ The research results have found their way to industry, since Prof. Rob Maunder started the spinoff company AccelerCom; 2/ Furthermore, we organized a 'Hothouse' at BT for a large number of ECRs. In addition to research presentations from a large number of industrial speakers, the Satellite Catapult, OFCOM etc the 2-day workshop also touched upon touched transferable skills. 3/ Furthermore, we also organized a 2-day workshop at Surrey University together with the Indian partners. This has been extremely beneficial, because we were able to secure further funding under the auspices of two India-UK projects. One of them is a coordination/networking activity attracting 1.5M funding with the UNI. of East Anglia, UCL and Surrey. The other one is a pure research project in spectrum innovation as well as integrated sensing and communications known as ISAC. This one also has a value of about 1.5 M over four years. |

| Collaborator Contribution | As an attractive enabling technology for next-generation wireless communications, network slicing supports diverse customized services in the global space-air-ground integrated network (SAGIN) with diverse resource constraints. In this paper, we dynamically consider three typical classes of radio access network (RAN) slices, namely high-throughput slices, low-delay slices and wide-coverage slices, under the same underlying physical SAGIN. The throughput, the service delay and the coverage area of these three classes of RAN slices are jointly optimized in a non-scalar form by considering the distinct channel features and service advantages of the terrestrial, aerial and satellite components of SAGINs. A joint central and distributed multi-agent deep deterministic policy gradient (CDMADDPG) algorithm is proposed for solving the above problem to obtain the Pareto optimal solutions. The algorithm first determines the optimal virtual unmanned aerial vehicle (vUAV) positions and the inter-slice sub-channel and power sharing by relying on a centralized unit. Then it optimizes the intra-slice sub-channel and power allocation, and the virtual base station (vBS)/vUAV/virtual low earth orbit (vLEO) satellite deployment in support of three classes of slices by three separate distributed units. Simulation results verify that the proposed method approaches the Pareto-optimal exploitation of multiple RAN slices, and outperforms the benchmarkers. |
| Impact | 1/ We surveyed the entire field of open radio access networks and composed a technical report; 2/ Organized a workshop in India with the objective of building a long-term consortium for an India - UK project; 3/ Currently we are organizing a similar one in the UK; 4/ We published numerous research studies; |
