Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the precoding design for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) systems based on the concept of exploiting constructive interference (CI). Considering low-resolution digitalto-analog converter (DAC) and low-resolution phase shifter (PS) as two efficient hardware options, we propose corresponding finite-alphabet precoding schemes. The formulated optimization problem aims at maximizing a weighted objective function consisting of two parts: the minimum CI scaling factor for communications and target illumination power for radar sensing. The cross-entropy optimization (CEO) framework is employed to effectively solve this discrete non-convex optimization problem. Moreover, an “indirect power scaling” method is proposed for the precoding design based on DAC quantization to enhance the ISAC performance. From the simulation results, we can observe that the proposed precoding schemes can achieve satisfactory ISAC performance with low complexity. In the considered ISAC systems, increasing the quantization bits for DAC and PS quantizations can improve the ISAC performance, and the gain for DAC quantization is more pronounced.
