Characterizing the sensing and communication performance tradeoff in integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) systems is challenging in the applications of learning-based human motion recognition. This is because of the large experimental datasets and the black-box nature of deep neural networks. This paper presents SDP3, a Simulation-Driven Performance Predictor and oPtimizer, which consists of SDP3 data simulator, SDP3 performance predictor and SDP3 performance optimizer. Specifically, the SDP3 data simulator generates vivid wireless sensing datasets in a virtual environment, the SDP3 performance predictor predicts the sensing performance based on the function regression method, and the SDP3 performance optimizer investigates the sensing and communication performance tradeoff analytically. It is shown that the simulated sensing dataset matches the experimental dataset very well in the motion recognition accuracy. By leveraging SDP3, it is found that the achievable region of recognition accuracy and communication throughput consists of a communication saturation zone, a sensing saturation zone, and a communication-sensing adversarial zone, of which the desired balanced performance for ISAC systems lies in the third one.

Human motion recognition (HMR) based on wireless sensing is a low-cost technique for scene understanding. Current HMR systems adopt support vector machines (SVMs) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to classify radar signals. However, whether a deeper learning model could improve the system performance is currently not known. On the other hand, training a machine learning model requires a large dataset, but data gathering from experiment is cost-expensive and time-consuming. Although wireless channel models can be adopted for dataset generation, current channel models are mostly designed for communication rather than sensing. To address the above problems, this paper proposes a deep spectrogram network (DSN) by leveraging the residual mapping technique to enhance the HMR performance. Furthermore, a primitive based autoregressive hybrid (PBAH) channel model is developed, which facilitates efficient training and testing dataset generation for HMR in a virtual environment. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed PBAH channel model matches the actual experimental data very well and the proposed DSN achieves significantly smaller recognition error than that of CNN.
