Temporal-Assisted Dynamic Beampattern Optimization in Integrated Sensing and Communication Systems

In this letter, an integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system is investigated. Initially, we introduce a design criterion wherein sensing data acquired from the preceding time slot is employed for instantaneous optimal beamforming in the succeeding time slot, aiming to enhance the communication rate. Subsequently, the development of optimal beamforming is addressed, and a high-caliber suboptimal resolution is derived utilizing successive convex approximation (SCA) techniques combined with the iterative rank minimization (IRM) methodology. Our evaluations, grounded on numerical analyses, reveal that the communication rate of the introduced beamforming strategy surpasses that of conventional omnidirectional sensing and pilot based approaches.
