An Optimized Resource Allocation Algorithm in Cognitive C-MIMO Radar for Multiple Maneuvering Target Tracking

In this paper, combined with the cognitive tracking technique and the C-MIMO radar system, an efficient resource optimal allocation scheme of the joint power and bandwidth allocation for multiple maneuvering target tracking is proposed. By establishing the system model of maneuvering target tracking and adopting the predicted conditional Cramer-Rao lower bound (PC-CRLB) as the tracking performance metric, the joint power and bandwidth allocation problem for maneuvering target tracking is converted as a non-convex optimal problem, which is solved by a three-step solution method combined with the semidefinite programing (SDP) algorithm. Simulation results demonstrate that the effectiveness of the proposed optimal scheme in improving tracking accuracy.
