| contents | Integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) is emerging as a cornerstone technology for sixth generation (6G) wireless systems, unifying connectivity and environmental mapping through shared hardware, spectrum, and waveforms. The following paper presents an ISAC imaging framework utilizing channel state information (CSI) per-path components, transmitter (TX) positions, and receiver (RX) positions obtained from the calibrated NYURay ray tracer at 6.75 GHz in the upper mid-band. Our work shows how each resolvable multipath component can be extracted from CSI estimation and cast into an equivalent three-dimensional reflection point by fusing its angle and delay information, which is useful and challenging for multi-bounce reflections. The primary contribution of the paper is the two-segment reflection point optimization algorithm, which independently estimates the path lengths from the TX position and RX position to an equivalent reflection point (ERP) on the object surface, thus enabling precise geometric reconstruction. Subsequently, we aggregate the ERPs derived from multiple pairs of TX and RX positions, generating dense three dimensional point clouds representing the objects in the channel. Experimental results validate that the proposed ISAC imaging framework accurately reconstructs object surfaces, edges, and curved features. To the best of our knowledge, this paper provides the first demonstration of multi bounce ISAC imaging using wireless ray tracing at 6.75 GHz. |
