Title
Cognitive Resource Allocation For Target Tracking In Location-Aware Radar Networks
Abstract
In this letter, a general framework of cognitive resource allocation for target tracking in radar networks is proposed. Firstly, an allocation strategy evaluation metric is established in this framework, i.e., the predicted conditional Cramer-Rao lower bound (PC-CRLB), for evaluating the future response of each candidate allocation strategy. Then, the optimal resource allocation strategy can be found by solving a constrained optimization problem. To specify the framework implementation details, a dwell time allocation problem is considered. For this given problem, the analytical expressions of PC-CRLB and its derived scalar strategy evaluation metric are derived, enabling us to convert the allocation problem to a second-order cone program (SOCP). Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework.
