contents This work explores the relationship between sensing accuracy and precoding coefficients for edge artificial intelligence (AI) inference in integrated sensing, communication and computation (ISCC) networks. We start by constructing a system model of an over-the-air-empowered ISCC network for edge AI inference, involving distributed edge sensors for feature extraction and an edge server for classification. Based on this model, we introduce a discriminant gain (DG) to characterize sensing accuracy and novelly derive an explicit function of the DG about precoding coefficients, giving valuable insights into precoding design. Guided by this, we propose an effective precoding algorithm to solve a non-convex DG-maximization problem. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed design achieves up to 15% and 10% sensing accuracy improvements on synthetic and real-world datasets, respectively, over the conventional scheme at low SNR, thereby validating its effectiveness and superiority for edge AI inference in ISCC networks.
