Abstract

This paper investigates the resource allocation of a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-aided joint communication and sensing (JCAS) system in a coal mine scenario. In the JCAS system, an RIS is implemented at the corner of the zigzag tunnels to improve the complicated wireless environment, where ground obstacles frequently block direct links. In addition, a wireless backhaul base station with a limited energy budget is deployed in the depth of the mine to sense the target area and provide internet of things (IoT) services and communication services for users. Furthermore, a data center is placed on the ground to analyze the obtained data and route the communication data. Under this deployment, a joint optimization problem of RIS phase shift matrix, RIS element switches, and area sensing time is proposed. We aim to maximize the successful sensed bits under total completion time, and maximum transmit power constraints. In order to solve this problem, an iterative algorithm is proposed. The successive convex approximation (SCA) based algorithm is used for the RIS phase shift matrix optimization subproblem. For the sensing time optimization subproblem, the quadratic approximation method is proposed to optimize the number of area perceptions. The coordinate descent method is utilized to optimize the RIS element switches. Simulation results show that the energy efficiency is improved by up to 38%, and 7% increases the specific data size compared with the benchmark solutions.
