Abstract
Most existing works on dual-function radar-communication (DFRC) systems mainly focus on active sensing, but ignore passive sensing. To leverage multi-static sensing capability, we explore integrated active and passive sensing (IAPS) in DFRC systems to remedy sensing performance. The multi-antenna base station (BS) is responsible for communication and active sensing by transmitting signals to user equipments while detecting a target according to echo signals. In contrast, passive sensing is performed at the receive access points (RAPs). Considering the limited capacity of backhaul links, the signals received at the RAPs cannot be sent to the central controller (CC) directly. Instead, a novel metric of result aggregation for IAPS is proposed. Specifically, each RAP, as well as the BS, makes decisions independently and sends its binary inference results to the CC for result fusion via voting aggregation. Then, aiming at minimizing the probability of error at the CC under communication quality of service constraints, an algorithm of power optimization is proposed. Finally, numerical results validate the positive effect of dedicated sensing symbols and the potential of the proposed IAPS scheme.
