Zusammenfassung:In this paper, we consider an integrated sensing and communications system assisted by a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS). A small number of sparsely placed active sensors are applied in the RIS to perform effective channels and, thereby, enable optimized beamforming for both communications and sensing objectives, namely, establishing reliable communication links with communication users (CUs) and effectively localize targets. The time-varying multipath channels between the RIS and the CU as well as the time-varying channel between the RIS and the targets are estimated by exploiting an interpolated Hermitian and Toeplitz covariance matrix followed by direction-of-arrival estimation using the MUSIC algorithm. Based on such results, we jointly optimize the transmit beamformer at the base station and the unit-modulus RIS passive beamformer. The RIS beamformer is optimized to maximize its minimum beam-pattern gain towards the desired sensing angles subject to the minimum signal-to-noise ratio requirement at the CU. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach, and the performance of different sparse array configurations is compared.
