contents Dual-function radar-communication (DFRC) is a key enabler of location-based services for next-generation communication systems. In this paper, we investigate the problem of designing constant modulus multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) waveforms for DFRC systems. We jointly shape the spatial beam pattern and ambiguity function of the transmit space-time matrix to improve target localization accuracy and enhance target resolution in cluttered environments. For communications, we employ constructive interference (CI)-based precoding, which exploits multi-user and radar-induced interference to enhance MIMO symbol detection. We develop two novel solution algorithms based on majorization-minimization (MM) and the linearized alternating direction method of multipliers (LADMM) principles. For the MM approach, we introduce a novel diagonal majorizer for complex quadratic functions, yielding a tighter surrogate and faster convergence than standard largest eigenvalue-based surrogates. After majorization, we decompose the approximated problem into independent subproblems that can be efficiently solved via parallelizable coordinate descent. To accommodate large MIMO dimensions, we further develop a low-complexity LADMM solution. We combine a biconvex reformulation and first-order proximal approximations to handle the nonconvex quartic objective without requiring costly matrix inversions. We evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithms in comparison to the existing DFRC algorithm. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithms can substantially enhance target detection and imaging performance due to the reduction of space-time sidelobes.
