Current strategies for joint radar-communication (JRC) rely on prior knowledge of the communication and radar systems within the vehicle network. In this paper, we propose a framework for intelligent vehicles to conduct JRC, with minimal prior knowledge, in an environment where surrounding vehicles execute radar detection periodically, which is typical in contemporary protocols. We introduce a metric on the usefulness of data to help the vehicle decide what, and to whom, data should be transmitted. The problem framework is cast as a Markov Decision Process (MDP). We show that deep reinforcement learning results in superior performance compared to nonlearning algorithms. In addition, experimental results show that the trained deep reinforcement learning agents are robust to changes in the number of vehicles in the environment.
Autonomous vehicles produce high data rates of sensory information from sensing systems. To achieve the advantages of sensor fusion among different vehicles in a cooperative driving scenario, high data-rate communication becomes essential. Current strategies for joint radar-communication (JRC) often rely on specialized hardware, prior knowledge of the system model, and entail diminished capability in either radar or communication functions. In this paper, we propose a framework for intelligent vehicles to conduct JRC, with minimal prior knowledge of the system model and a tunable performance balance, in an environment where surrounding vehicles execute radar detection periodically, which is typical in contemporary protocols. We introduce a metric on the usefulness of data to help an intelligent vehicle decide what, and to whom, data should be transmitted. The problem framework is cast as a generalized form of the Markov Decision Process (MDP). We identify deep reinforcement learning algorithms (DRL) and algorithmic extensions suitable for solving our JRC problem. For multi-agent scenarios, we introduce a Graph Neural Network (GNN) framework via a control channel. This framework enables modular and fair comparisons of various algorithmic extensions. Our experiments show that DRL results in superior performance compared to non-learning algorithms. Learning of inter-agent coordination in the GNN framework, based only on the Markov task reward, further improves performance.
This work implements a real-time operating full-duplex JRC platform using commercial software-defined radios and custom-built mmWave front-ends, leveraging a fully digital MIMO architecture and demonstrates simultaneous data transmission and high-resolution radar imaging capabilities of MIMo OFDM JRC in the mmWave band.
