Waveform Design for the Integrated Sensing, Communication, and Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer...

Next-generation communication systems demand the integration of sensing, communication, and power transfer (PT) capabilities, requiring high spectral efficiency, energy efficiency, and low cost while also necessitating robustness in high-speed scenarios. Integrated sensing and communication systems (ISACSs) exhibit the ability to simultaneously perform communication and sensing tasks using a single RF signal, while simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) systems can handle simultaneous information and energy transmission, and orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) signals are adept at handling high Doppler scenarios. Combining the advantages of these three technologies, a novel cyclic prefix (CP) OTFS-based integrated simultaneous wireless sensing, communication, and power transfer system (ISWSCPTS) framework is proposed in this work. Within the ISWSCPTS, the CP-OTFS matched filter (MF)-based target detection and parameter estimation (MF-TDaPE) algorithm is proposed to endow the system with sensing capabilities. To enhance the system's sensing capability, a waveform design algorithm based on CP-OTFS ambiguity function shaping (AFS) is proposed, which is solved by an iterative method. Furthermore, to maximize the system's sensing performance under communication and PT quality of service (QoS) constraints, a semidefinite relaxation (SDR) beamforming design (SDR-BD) algorithm is proposed, which is solved using through the SDR technique. The simulation results demonstrate that the ISWSCPTS exhibits stronger parameter estimation performance in high-speed scenarios compared to orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), the waveform designed by CP-OTFS AFS demonstrates superior interference resilience, and the beamforming designed by SDR-BD strikes a balance in the overall performance of the ISWSCPTS.
