Abstract

Recently, visible light positioning and visible light communication are becoming a promising technology for integrated sensing and communication. However, the isolated design of positioning and communication has limited the system efficiency and performance. In this paper, a visible light integrated positioning and communication (VIPAC) framework is formulated, in which the positioning task for the sensing service and the channel estimation task for the communication service are integrated into a unified architecture. Firstly, a multi-task learning architecture, which is composed of a sparsity-aware shared network and two task-oriented sub-networks, is proposed to fully exploit the inherent sparse features of visible light channels, and achieve mutual benefits between the two tasks. The depth of the shared network can be adaptively adjusted to extract the optimal shared features, and the two sub-networks are further optimized for the two tasks, respectively. Moreover, the emerging federated learning technique is introduced to devise a multi-user cooperative VIPAC scheme, which further improves the generalization ability in spatiotemporally nonstationary environments while preserving data privacy. It is shown by theoretical analysis and simulation results that, the proposed scheme can significantly improve the performance of positioning and channel estimation in spatiotemporally nonstationary environments compared with existing benchmark schemes.
