Generative AI for Integrated Sensing and Communication: Insights From the Physical Layer Perspective
Bibliographic record
Abstract
As generative artificial intelligence (GAl) models continue to evolve, their generative capabilities are increasingly enhanced, and being used exten-sively in content generation. Furthermore, GAl also excels in data modeling and analysis, benefiting wireless communication systems. In this article, we investigate applications of GAI in the physical layer and analyze its support for integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) systems. Specifically, we first provide an overview of GAI and ISAC, touching on GAl's potential support across multi-ple layers of ISAC. We then thoroughly investigate GAl's applications in the physical layer, such as channel estimation, which demonstrates the benefits that GAl-enhanced physical layer technologies bring to ISAC systems. Finally, in the case study, we present a diffusion model-based method for estimating signal direction of arrival in near-field scenarios using uniform linear arrays with antenna spacing over half the wavelength. With a mean square error of 1.03 degrees, the method confirms GAl's support for the physical layer in near-field sensing and communications.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
