Chance Constrained Beamforming for Joint Radar-Communication Systems

We present an intelligent sensor array-based joint radarcommunication system which exploits chance constrained programming to develop a robust beamforming design. Probabilistic chance constraints are introduced for the communication operation where the communication objectives are achieved with a desired success rate in the presence of communication channel uncertainties. The chance constraint optimization is then relaxed to form a deterministic and convex problem by employing the statistical profile of the communication channels. Simulation results illustrate the performance of the proposed strategy.
