Abstract

Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) enables joint communication and sensing using a shared waveform, but its signal design is challenging due to the inherent trade-off between the two objectives, particularly in the short blocklength regime. This paper proposes an autoencoder (AE)-based framework for ISAC waveform design in noncoherent settings. We derive a modified Cram\'er-Rao bound for multi-target delay estimation and analyze the maximum-likelihood decoding rule for noncoherent communication under correlated fading. These results reveal structural connections and trade-offs between communication and sensing objectives in waveform design. Based on this analysis, the AE learns waveform representations that jointly optimize both functionalities, with a tunable parameter controlling the trade-off. Simulation results show that the proposed design outperforms conventional schemes in both communication reliability and sensing accuracy, especially under short blocklength and fading conditions.
