Abstract: Future wireless communication systems are equipping more and more antennas for high spectral efficiency with increasing the number of power-hungry radio frequency (RF) chains. Can we increase the number of antennas with a fixed number of RF chains? How much performance gain can it achieve and how to design the signals to achieve its limit? Integrated sensing is expected to be featuring technology and enabling technology for 6G wireless communication networks. The waveform representing different bits needs to be as separable as possible, while that for sensing targets needs to be as deterministic as possible. How to characterize the conflict and trade-off between communications and sensing when they are integrated within the same waveform? Existing wireless communications are originally designated for signal/data recovery, not for signal/data specific usage. The fast development of artificial intelligence (AI) enables diverse data usage for various tasks. How to design signals for task-oriented and data-aware wireless communications? In this talk, the speaker will give his research on signal designs for green multiple-antenna communication systems with a limited number of RF chains, signal designs for future wireless communications integrating sensing, and signal designs for benefiting remote AI inference beyond signal recovery.
