contents In the Internet-of-Things (IoT) era, efficient functionality integration is essential to address the growing demands of communication, computation, and sensing. Signal-level integrated sensing, computing, and communication (Sig-ISCC) is envisioned, where a single waveform simultaneously supports sensing, computing and communication via over-the-air computation (AirComp). Meanwhile, federated learning (FL) is widely regarded as a promising distributed machine learning framework that enables network intelligence in a privacy-preserving and secure manner, and exhibits strong synergy with AirComp, which alleviates the communication bottleneck of FL. In this paper, we study uplink Sig-ISCC design for AirComp-FL with joint target detection. We formulate the joint power and receive-scaling control problem, where edge devices' transmitted signals should serve both sensing and AirComp purposes. The goal is to minimize the AirComp aggregation distortion subject to a joint target-detection requirement. Although the resulting problem is non-convex in the original variables, we show that it admits an equivalent convex reformulation after a suitable variable transformation. By exploiting analytical optimality properties, we develop a robust, optimal, and polynomial-time-complexity algorithm that efficiently achieves the optimal transmit powers and receive scaling factor. Simulation results validate the optimality and numerical robustness of the proposed algorithm and show its superior FL performance compared to baseline methods.
