Deep-Learning-Based Channel Estimation for IRS-Assisted ISAC System (2402.09439v2)
Abstract: Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) and intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) are viewed as promising technologies for future generations of wireless networks. This paper investigates the channel estimation problem in an IRS-assisted ISAC system. A deep-learning framework is proposed to estimate the sensing and communication (S&C) channels in such a system. Considering different propagation environments of the S&C channels, two deep neural network (DNN) architectures are designed to realize this framework. The first DNN is devised at the ISAC base station for estimating the sensing channel, while the second DNN architecture is assigned to each downlink user equipment to estimate its communication channel. Moreover, the input-output pairs to train the DNNs are carefully designed. Simulation results show the superiority of the proposed estimation approach compared to the benchmark scheme under various signal-to-noise ratio conditions and system parameters.
