Hello! My name is Qinpei Luo (In Chinese: 罗钦培), and you can just call me Sheldon. I am a second year PhD student in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the University of California, San Diego. I am now advised by Dr. Xinyu Zhang. My major interest lies in mobile computing and wireless networks, especially the implementation of machine learning on these topics.

Previously, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Electronics Information Engineering from School of Electronics Engineering and Computer Science, Peking University, where I am honored to be advised by Dr. Boya Di from School of Electronics, Peking University.

I also had the previlegde to work closely with Dr. Lili Qiu from University of Texas, Austin and Microsoft Research Asia.

As a key feature that has the potential to enable many advanced applications, the integration of sensing functionality is considered essential in the 6G network, which motivates the design of integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) systems. However, traditional ISAC systems based on non-overlapped resource allocation face the challenge of poor energy and spectral efficiency. In this paper, we implement an ISAC system named Horus based on reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, which provides an energy-efficient solution to sense objects in a wide range of blind areas. With a carefully designed ISAC protocol, Horus can transmit sensing information to the receiver with high spectral efficiency. We have verified the ability of the proposed system in two case studies of multi-modal sensing and around-corner radar early warning, respectively. Our demonstration video can be found in [11].

In recent years, aiming to enhance and extend user experiences beyond the real world, Extended Reality (XR) has emerged to become a new paradigm that enables a plethora of applications [1], e.g., online gaming, online conferencing, social media, etc. XR refers to the human-machine interactions that combine real and virtual environments with the support of computing/communications technologies and wearable devices. The XR content is generated by providers or other users, including audio, video and other metadata. In general, the generated XR content is transmitted to XR devices and rendered into XR scenes (i.e., to generate an image from a 2D or 3D model by means of a computer program), where users can experience a hybrid experience of the real and virtual worlds.
