| contents | This paper studies an uplink dual-functional sensing and communication system aided by a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS), whose reflection pattern is configured to trade-off sensing and communication functionalities. Specifically, the Bayesian Cramér-Rao lower bound (BCRLB) for estimating the azimuth angle of a sensing user is minimized while ensuring the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio constraints for communication users. We show that this problem can be formulated as a novel fractionally constrained fractional programming (FCFP) problem. To deal with this nontrivial optimization problem, we extend a quadratic transform technique, originally proposed to handle optimization problems containing fractional structures only in objectives, to the scenario where the constraints also include ratios. First, we consider the case where the fading coefficient is known. Using the quadratic transform, the FCFP problem can be turned into a sequence of subproblems that are convex except for the constant-modulus constraints which can be tackled using a penalty-based approach. To further reduce the computational complexity, we leverage the constant-modulus conditions and propose a novel linear transform. This new transform enables the FCFP problem to be turned into a sequence of linear programming (LP) subproblems, which can be solved efficiently. Then, we consider the case where the fading coefficient is unknown. A modified BCRLB is used to make the problem more tractable, and the proposed quadratic transform based algorithm is used to solve the problem. Numerical results unveil nontrivial and effective reflection patterns that can be synthesized by the RIS to facilitate both communication and sensing functionalities. |
