HAPS-ISAC: Enhancing Sensing and Communication in 6G Networks With Advanced MIMO Beamforming by Parisa Kanani, Mohammad Javad Omidi, Mahmoud Modarres-Hashemi, Halim Yanikomeroglu

“…This paper introduces a novel high altitude platform station (HAPS)-based integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system, referred to as HAPS-ISAC, designed to enhance the capabilities of future 6G networks by simultaneously optimizing communication and sensing functions. HAPS operates as a super-macro base station in the stratosphere, utilizing advanced beamforming techniques within a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) architecture, supplemented by multiple-input single-output (MISO) configurations, effectively enabling the system to serve ground communication users (CUs) while conducting high-resolution sensing of potential targets. …”
