Project: Integrated Communications and Sensing for Next-Generation Optical Satellite Networks

Acronym: SenSat
Main Objective:
OBJ1.1: Develop a numerical simulation tool for high-capacity Earth-satellite FSO communication
OBJ1.2: Integrate gases/particles signatures into the channel simulator
OBJ1.3: Explore in simulation the sensing capabilities of FSO satellite network.

OBJ2.1: Determine the impact of different gases/particles on the optical wireless beam
OBJ2.2: Identify the dominant signatures of different gases/particles in the optical beam
OBJ2.3: Build an AI-based model for identifying gases/particles in typical FSO links

OBJ3.1: Characterize the impact of sensing features on the communication performance of coherent FSO links
OBJ3.2: Maximize achievable capacity for different scenarios / use cases
OBJ3.3: Define dominant degrees of freedom for communication encoding

OBJ4.1: Exploit coherent DSP to extract gases/particles signatures
OBJ4.2: Enhance sensing capabilities by adding extra optical hardware
OBJ4.3: Design an optimized ISAC-FSO communication architecture

OBJ5.1: Provide experimental support to T2, T3 and T4.
OBJ5.2: Validate the proposed sensing methodology in an atmospheric chamber
OBJ5.3: Integrate the sensing capabilities with real-time 400 Gbps transmission
