Abstract [en]
Joint communication and sensing (JCAS) is a promising technology not only to reuse spectrum and hardware resources, but also to enhance existing communication and sensing services. Recognizing these benefits of JCAS systems, several previous papers have proposed transceiver architectures, beamforming algorithms and joint target search and channel estimation schemes that facilitate the integration of communication and sensing. Realizing that localization of passive mobile objects is vital in, for example, intelligent transportation systems, this work focuses on JCAS beamforming schemes for localization of such objects. Specifically, we propose a single beam and a multibeam scheme for localization of passive objects in the coverage area. We study the inherent trade-off between sensing and communication when using these two schemes, related to the number of time slots and the transmit energy and their impact on the angle estimation errors. The results show that, in general, spatial separation between the communication and sensing beams in the multibeam scheme gives better performance compared to the temporal separation between the sensing and communication beams in the single beam scheme, especially when the power allocated to sensing is low compared to the communication power.
