Abstract
Large-scale deployment of connected vehicles with cooperative sensing technologies increases the demand on the vehicular communication spectrum in 5.9 GHz allocated for the exchange of safety messages. To support the high data rates needed by such applications, the millimeter-wave (mmWave) automotive radar spectrum at 76–81 GHz can be utilized for wideband communication as well. For this purpose, various joint automotive radar-communication (JARC) systems have been proposed in the literature to perform both functions using the same wideband waveform. However, the wideband joint waveforms encounter frequency-selectivity in both radar and communication channels due to multi-path propagation. In this paper, we address the optimal joint waveform design problem to exploit the frequency-selectivity for wideband JARC operations via orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) wherein subcarrier coefficients are designed for optimal power allocation and phase coding. We show that the problem is a non-convex quadratically constrained quadratic programming (QCQP) problem which is known to be NP-hard. Existing approaches to solve QCQP include semidefinite relaxation (SDR) which incurs high time complexity. Instead, we propose approximation methods to solve QCQP more efficiently by leveraging structured matrices and using convex approximations. Finally, we demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed approaches through numerical simulations.
