Abstract
Joint sensing and communications (JSAC) has been regarded as a key technology in the sixth-generation (6G) wireless communications system. Most existing works on JSAC consider a mono-static setting with a single user. In this work, a multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) JSAC system using bi-static sensing with time division is studied. Multi-user interference degrades communications but improves sensing. Both uplink and downlink are investigated. Time division is employed to avoid interference between communications and sensing. A tradeoff measure is optimized with respect to the number of users and time division parameter. Numerical results show that the optimum number of users and time division coefficient exist to maximize both channel capacity for communications and detection probability for sensing.
