On the Performance of Downlink MIMO-ISAC

This letter analyzes the performance of sensing and communications (S\&C) achieved by a multiple-input multiple-output downlink integrated S\&C (ISAC) system. Three typical ISAC scenarios are studied, including the sensing-centric design, communications-centric design, and Pareto optimal design. For each scenario, diversity orders and high signal-to-noise ratio slopes of the sensing rate and communication rate are derived to gain further insights. It is found that ISAC can provide more degrees of freedom and a broader rate region than existing frequency-division S\&C (FDSAC) techniques.Comment: 5 page

Sum-Rate Optimization for RIS-Aided Multiuser Communications with Movable Antenna

Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) is known as a promising technology to improve the performance of wireless communication networks, which has been extensively studied. Movable antenna (MA) is a novel technology that fully exploits the antenna position for enhancing the channel capacity. In this paper, we propose a new RIS-aided multiuser communication system with MAs. The sum-rate is maximized by jointly optimizing the beamforming, the reflection coefficient (RC) values of RIS and the positions of MAs. A fractional programming-based iterative algorithm is proposed to solve the formulated non-convex problem, considering three assumptions for the RIS. Numerical results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm and the superiority of the proposed MA-based system in terms of sum-rate.Comment: 5 page
