Co-Design for Spectral Coexistence between RIS-aided MIMO Radar and MIMO Communication Systems
Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) refers to a signal reflection surface containing a large number of low-cost passive reflecting elements. RIS can improve the performance of radar and communication systems by dynamically modulating the wireless channels. In this paper, we consider the co-design for improving the co-existence between multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) radar and MIMO communication system with the aid of RIS.The design purpose is to improve the radar detection performance and guarantee the communication capability. Due to the unimodular constraint on the RIS coefficients and the constant-envelope constraint on the radar transmit waveforms, the associated optimization problem is non-convex.To tackle this problem, we develop a cyclic method based on minorization-maximization, semi-definite programming, and alternating direction method of multipliers. Numerical examples verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
