Alternating EKF tracking and prediction assisted beamforming design of air-to-air integrated sensing and communications
This paper investigates the signal tracking and prediction in the high-altitude air-to-air(A2A) ISAC scenario. First of all, an A2A ISAC system model is established, and state prediction and measurement models suitable for tracking are derived based on the spatial geometric relationship between two aircraft. Then, the model is linearized, and the traditional EKF algorithm is improved to an alternating EKF multi-beam tracking and prediction algorithm, which enables independent tracking and prediction of multiple targets. Furthermore, by reducing the order of the transformation matrix within the model, we further decrease the computational complexity. Utilizing the real-time state information provided by the alternating EKF tracking and prediction algorithm, we maximize the communication rate among multiple aircraft under power-constrained conditions through digital beamforming design, and we present a closed-form solution for the design. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm significantly improves tracking accuracy while extending the time span of multi-target tracking and predictions.
