Power Distribution for an OFDM-Based Dual-Function Radar-Communication Sensor
Tuanwei Tian, Guchong Li, Tao Zhou
Abstract
This letter investigates the problem of power distribution along with the word error probability (WEP) constraint for the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing based (OFDM) dual-function radar and communication sensor. First, we optimize the radar signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) with the constraints of the WEP requirement and total transmit power. Second, we propose an alternating direction sequential relaxation programming algorithm that involves solving a sequence of approximation convex version of the original nonconvex problem. Finally, simulation results are provided to evaluate the effect of different WEP requirements on the radar SNR, and a significant gain in the radar SNR can be achieved, compared to the average power allocation case.
