| contents | Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) in the terahertz (THz) band enables obstacle detection, which in turn facilitates efficient beam management to mitigate THz signal blockage. Simultaneously, a THz radio map, which captures signal propagation characteristics through the distribution of received signal strength (RSS), is well-suited for sensing, as it inherently contains obstacle-related information and reflects the unique properties of the THz channel. This means that communication-assisted sensing in ISAC can be effectively achieved using a THz radio map. However, constructing a radio map presents significant challenges due to the sparse deployment of THz sensors and their limited ability to accurately measure the RSS distribution, which directly affects obstacle sensing. In this paper, we formulate an integrated problem for the first time, leveraging the mutual enhancement between sensed obstacles and the constructed THz radio maps. To address this challenge while improving generalization, we propose an integration framework based on a conditional generative adversarial network (CGAN), which uncovers the manifold structure of THz radio maps embedded with obstacle information. Furthermore, recognizing the shared environmental semantics across THz radio maps from different beam directions, we introduce a novel voting-based sensing scheme, where obstacles are detected by aggregating votes from THz radio maps generated by the CGAN. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed framework outperforms non-integrated baselines in both radio map construction and obstacle sensing, achieving up to 44.3% and 90.6% reductions in mean squared error (MSE), respectively, in a real-world scenario. These results validate the effectiveness of the proposed voting-based scheme. |
