      Sensing performance optimization of UAV-RIS assisted DFRC for ISAC

      • 摘要: 针对目前双功能雷达通信(dual-function radar-communication, DFRC)基站在通感一体化(integrated sensing and communication, ISAC)应用中,因障碍物导致感知质量低的问题,设计一种无人机(unmanned aerial vehicle, UAV)携带智能反射面(reconfigurable intelligent surface, RIS)的ISAC扩展架构。基于通信质量、系统能耗限制模型构建基站主动波束形成、反射面系数矩阵与UAV高度的多变量协同优化模型。首先,应用MM(majorization-minimization)算法构建雷达信干噪比下界表达式,通过半定规划方法求解最优波束成形矩阵;其次,在MM框架内,结合半定松弛方法解决反射面引入的高维运算难题;最后,利用逐次凸近似方法求解UAV高度的最优值。仿真实验结果表明,通过交替优化三变量,雷达信干噪比可提升30~60 dB。与传统单变量优化方案相比,所提出的多元变量联合优化算法收敛速度快,具有更好的通信与感知性能。

         

        Abstract: To address the issue of low perception quality in dual-function radar-communication(DFRC) base stations during integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) applications due to obstacles, an ISAC extension architecture is designed where an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) carries an intelligent reflecting surface (RIS) to expand the sensing range of the base station. Based on the communication quality and system energy consumption constraint models, a multi-variable collaborative optimization model for the active beamforming of the base station, reflection surface coefficient matrix, and drone height is constructed. Firstly, the majorization-minimization (MM) algorithm is applied to construct the lower bound expression of the radar signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), and the optimal beamforming matrix is solved through semi-definite programming. Secondly, within the MM framework, the semi-definite relaxation method is combined to solve the high-dimensional operation problem introduced by the RIS. Finally, the successive convex approximation method is used to solve for the optimal height of the drone. Simulation results show that by alternately optimizing the three variables, the radar SINR can be improved by 30-60 dB. Compared with the traditional single-variable optimization scheme, the proposed multi-variable joint optimization algorithm converges faster and has better communication and sensing performance.
