NOMA Empowered Integrated Sensing and Communication.

Model

Dual-functional base station (BS) equipped with an $N$-antennas uniform linear array (ULA).

Communication Model

• K = { 1 , … , K } \mathcal{K}=\{1,\ldots,K\} K={ 1,…,K}: $K$ single-antenna users indexed.
• M = { 1 , … , M } \mathcal{M}=\{1,\ldots,M\} M={ 1,…,M}: $M$ radar targets indexed.
• ${\mathbf{w}}_i{s}_i\text{ for }\forall i\in \mathcal{K}$: where ${\mathbf{w}}_i\in {\mathbb{C}}^{N\times 1}$ are beamformers for delivering the information symbol $s_i$ to user $i$. BS transmits the superimposed signals to all users in downlink. ${\mathbf{w}}_i$是波束形成器，$s_i$是发给第$i$个用户的信息。
• 第$k$个用户的接收信号，$y_k={\mathrm{h}}_k^H{\sum }_{i\in \mathcal{K}}{\mathrm{w}}_i{s}_i+n_k={\sum }_{i\in \mathcal{K}}{\mathrm{h}}_k^H{\mathrm{w}}_i{s}_i+n_k$
• 信道增益系数，${\mathrm{h}}_k={\Lambda }_k^{-1/2}{\tilde{\mathsf{h}}}_k,\forall k\in \mathcal{K}$ denotes the BS-user channel, ${\Lambda }_k^{-1/2}$ and ${\tilde{\mathbf{h}}}_k\in {\mathbb{C}}^{N\times 1}$ denote the large and small scale fading, respectively, and $n_k$ denotes the circularly symmetric complex Gaussian noise with variance ${\sigma }_n^2.$
• 不同用户的大尺度衰弱系数不同，即，${\Lambda }_1^{-1}\le {\Lambda }_2^{-1}\le \cdots \le$ ${\Lambda }_K^{-1}.$ We assume that the users’ indexes are in an increasing order with respect to their large-scale channel strength.
• $R_{k\to k}={\log }_2\left(1+\frac{|{\mathrm{h}}_k^H{\mathrm{w}}_k{|}^2}{{\sum }_{i\in \mathcal{K},i>k}|{\mathrm{h}}_k^H{\mathrm{w}}_i{|}^2+{\sigma }_n^2}\right)$, the achievable rate of $s_k$ after SIC at user $k$ for $\forall k\in \mathcal{K},k\ne K$
• Note: 要解码第$k$个用户，先利用将前$k-1$移除，然后将$k$之后的用户当做噪声.
• R k = min ⁡ { R k → k , … , R k → K } . R_k=\min\{R_{k\to k}
