LASSO
LAboratory of WirelesS communications and System Optimization
Bridging cutting-edge academic research and industrial deployment: dedicated to developing prototype-verified sensing and communication systems, with core focus on integrated sensing and communications (ISAC), simulation-driven RF sensing, cellular & Wi-Fi resource scheduling and standardization.
Research Areas
Low-Altitude Drone Sensing via Communication Signals
Developing full-spectrum prototype passive radar testbeds by exploiting cellular base station downlinks for low-altitude drone surveillance. Mitigating strong direct-path clutter to achieve real-time 3D airspace localization and trajectory tracking using existing cellular network infrastructures.
Pioneering high-precision contactless wireless sensing using 60 GHz millimeter-wave signals. Exploiting phased-array beamforming and micro-Doppler signatures to reconstruct sub-decimeter fine-grained trajectories, contactless handwriting, and predict dynamic link blockages in non-line-of-sight propagation environments.
Trajectory Tracking via Millimeter-Wave Passive Sensing
Wi-Fi Sensing & Network Intelligence
Developing intelligent Wi-Fi systems that sense, localize, track, and optimize. Our research explores Doppler- and CSI-based sensing for active devices and passive targets, together with learning-driven resource scheduling for adaptive and application-aware Wi-Fi networks.
Simulation-Driven RF Sensing
Overcoming physical data acquisition bottlenecks in wireless sensing through high-fidelity electromagnetic simulation. Developing the CASTER 3D ray-tracing channel simulator to generate synthetic micro-Doppler signatures, enabling robust sim-to-real domain adaptation and few-shot human activity recognition.
Open Datasets
Providing real-world drone RF scattering IQ signals and GPS flight ground-truth captured in outdoor field tests for research and reproducibility.
