Abstract

This paper investigates intelligent predictive beamforming design for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer-integrated sensing and communication (SWIPT-ISAC) systems for low-altitude economy wireless networks. Considering the downlink scenario where the base station aims to localize the moving targets/communication users and also transfer power to them, we formulate a weighted sum optimization problem to balance the trade-off between achievable communication rate and harvested energy, subject to sensing accuracy constraints defined by the Cramér–Rao lower bound. To address the non-convexity of the problem, we propose the Time-Spatial Fusion Network (TSFusionNet), an unsupervised deep learning (DL) framework that leverages multi-step historical channel state information for predictive beamforming design. TSFusionNet integrates convolutional and recurrent layers with a differential attention mechanism to capture spatial-temporal dependencies and mitigate non-stationary channel dynamics. We introduce a dynamic penalty-based loss function to enforce sensing constraints during training. Simulation results show that by adjusting the weight factor, the proposed method achieves a trade-off between rate and energy while meeting sensing accuracy requirements. Moreover, it significantly reduces computational complexity by up to approximately 96.8% in parameters and 81.5% in FLOPs, compared to existing DL frameworks.
