Taming and Leveraging Interference in Mobile Radar Networks

Abstract: Mobile radar networks, such as autonomous driving systems, are subject to the severe challenge of mutual interference. Despite the inborn interference-proof capability in frequency modulation continuous waveform (FMCW) radar, interference management is necessary for dense radar networks. The approaches combatting the radar interference include the timing diversity of waveform parameters, data-driven detection interference, and signal processing based decoupling of interference. Moreover, the leverage of radar interference for inferring the information of interfere is studied. Simulations are carried out in the scenario of radar interferences in vehicular networks, which demonstrates the performance of the proposed algorithms.
