Array Resource Allocation for Radar and Communication Integration Network
A radar and communication integration (RCI) system has great flexibility in
allocating antenna resources to guarantee both radar and communication
performance. This paper considers the array allocation problems for multiple
target localization and multiple platforms communication in an RCI network. The
objective of array allocation is to maximize the communication capacity for
each channel and to minimize the localization error for each target. In this
paper, we firstly build a localization and communication model for array
allocation in an RCI network. Minorization maximization (MM) is then applied to
create surrogate functions for multiple objective optimization problems. The
projected gradient descent (PGD) method is further employed to solve two array
allocation problems with and without a certain communication capacity
constraint. Computer simulations are conducted to evaluate the performance of
the proposed algorithms. The results show that the proposed algorithms have
improved localization and communication performance after efficiently
allocating the array resource in the RCI network.Comment: 31 page
