Abstract
The integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) technique is regarded as a key component in future vehicular applications. In this paper, we propose an ISAC solution that integrates Long Range (LoRa) modulation with frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar in the millimeter-wave (mmWave) band, called mmWave-LoRadar. This design introduces the sensing capabilities to the LoRa communication with a simplified hardware architecture. Particularly, we uncover the dual discontinuity issues in time and phase of the mmWave-LoRadar received signals, rendering conventional signal processing techniques ineffective. As a remedy, we propose a corresponding hardware design and signal processing schemes under the compressed sampling framework. These techniques effectively cope with the dual discontinuity issues and mitigate the demands for high-sampling-rate analog-to-digital converters while…
