Speech Title: Target Sensing for Near-Field
Integrated Sensing and Communication with
Ultra-Large-Scale Arrays
Abstract: This talk focuses on near-field
integrated sensing with ultra-large-scale arrays for
6G mmWave systems. First, we introduce the
fundamental challenges of near-field target
perception, including spherical wavefront distortion
and high-speed user Doppler interference. From two
core dimensions of sensing algorithms and
theoretical performance bounds, we systematically
elaborate our series works. For pure near-field
localization, a discrete fractional Fourier
transform (FrFT) combined quasi-Newton refinement
estimator is proposed to jointly resolve range,
angle and radial velocity, effectively mitigating
off-grid errors. For hybrid far-near-field
scenarios, we design a sliding fractional
synchrosqueezing transform (SFSST) to separate
linear frequency modulation components, paired with
ridge extraction for low-complexity channel and
target parameter estimation. Furthermore, beyond the
classic Cramér-Rao Bound (CRB) only valid at high
SNR, we derive the Ziv-Zakai Bound (ZZB)
incorporating parameter prior information, which
accurately characterizes estimation errors across
full signal-to-noise regimes. Simulations verify the
superior accuracy and robustness of our proposed
frameworks.
