Task-Oriented Candidate-Latent Feedback for Coarse-to-Fine Sensing in Distributed OFDM-ISAC Networks

arXiv:2608. 03319v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Future integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) architectures separate the sensing entity (SE) that acquires measurements from the sensing function (SF) that performs inference, creating a need for compact, task-oriented feedback on the SE-SF interface.

Energy-Efficient Spiking Neural Networks for Sensing-Aided Beam Prediction

The paper presents energy‑efficient spiking neural network (SNN) architectures for sensing‑aided beam prediction in millimeter‑wave systems, comparing them with conventional artificial neural networks (ANNs) across position‑only, vision‑only, and multimodal inputs. While compact ANNs outperform SNNs for position‑only data, SNNs achieve higher accuracy than ANNs for vision and multimodal sensing at comparable or lower energy costs, with the multimodal SNN reaching 58.08% top‑1 accuracy—an 18.11‑percentage‑point improvement over the nearest‑energy ANN. The study also finds that SNN accuracy is constrained by binary inter‑layer communication rather than model size.

CNN-Transformer with Sigmoid Label for High-Resolution Sub-Degree DOA Estimation

The paper introduces a sigmoid label for deep‑learning based direction‑of‑arrival (DOA) estimation, encoding DOAs as sums of angle‑shifted monotonic sigmoid functions. Using a CNN‑Transformer network trained with this label, the authors achieve sub‑degree accuracy and 1‑degree resolution with a 0.25° grid step, surpassing traditional Gaussian, hard, and BCE labels. Numerical results confirm the sigmoid label’s superior accuracy and resolution over other labeling approaches.

Analog RF Computing for Integrated Data and AI Flows Over Wireless Networks

The paper proposes using analog radio frequency (RF) computing to enable edge devices to perform AI inference by receiving a waveform that encodes neural network weights from a base station. Clients then mix this waveform with their own input-encoded signals to perform matrix‑vector multiplications with minimal power and memory. In a multi‑user MIMO downlink setting, the authors formulate a joint beamforming optimization to balance data and AI flows, showing that the aggregate data rate loss is below 5% under realistic 3GPP channel conditions.

Learning Nonlinear Waveform Fusion Across Scales for Integrated Sensing and Communication

The paper proposes a method for learning nonlinear waveform fusion across scales to improve integrated sensing and communication (ISAC). By adaptively weighting temporal features and updating spectral components, the authors generate a waveform that maintains fixed total energy while combining image features with a deterministic frequency‑modulated reference. Experiments on 512 test images show that the learned waveforms reduce normalized localization error by 29.0 % and 27.0 % and increase mean peak SNR by 1.40 dB and 0.82 dB compared to baseline approaches.
