DC9 – Project research
This thesis investigates integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) techniques for resilient non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) using free-space optical (FSO) links. The primary objective is to develop adaptive solutions that leverage real-time joint sensing and communication to maintain robust optical wireless links under dynamic atmospheric conditions. Special emphasis is given to the design of efficient waveform schemes, enabling both reliable data transmission and precise environmental sensing to extract key channel parameters. The research will also incorporate AI-based methods, especially for predictive channel modeling and real-time waveform adaptation, to meet the dynamic requirements of ISAC for optical NTN links. In the end, this work is expected to contribute to building resilient optical backbones in the sky-air-ground, aligned with the goals of the FOCAL MSCA Doctoral Networks project.
