This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program grant (CFDA 47.070) provides $172,848 to the Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines to investigate fundamental design trade-offs in a retro-reflective uplink enabled integrated sensing and communication with optical wireless (ISAC-OW) system for large-scale networks. The project will develop a cross-domain framework for the integrated design of efficient and scalable retro-reflective uplink-enabled ISAC-OW networks. Key research goals include modeling the retro-reflective optical link, investigating MAC protocols, developing spectrum allocation strategies, and integrated system modeling and assessment. This project aims to advance the state-of-the-art of basic theory and practical design strategies for ISAC-OW systems, which are a potential 6G enabling technology. The award period is from August 15, 2024 to September 30, 2025.
