Waveform Design Using Half-duplex Devices for 6G Joint Communications and Sensing

Joint communications and sensing is a promising 6G technology, and the challenge is how to integrate them efficiently. Existing frequency-division and time-division coexistence can hardly bring a gain of integration. Directly using orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) to sense requires complex in-band full-duplex to cancel the selfinterference (SI). To solve these problems, this paper proposes novel coexistence schemes to gain super sensing range (SSR) and simple SI cancellation. SSR enables JCS to gain a sensing range of a sensing-only scheme and shares the resources with communications. Random time-division is proposed to gain a super Doppler range. Flexible sensing implanted OFDM (FSIOFDM) is also proposed. FSI-OFDM uses random sensing occasions to gain super Doppler range, as well as utilizes the fixed tail sensing occasions to achieve supper distance range. The simulation results show that the proposed schemes can gain SSR with limited resources.
