Abstract
This paper investigates the potential of multipath exploitation for enhancing target detection in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) systems. The study aims to improve target detection performance by harnessing the diversity gain in the delay-Doppler domain. We propose a weighted generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) detector that effectively leverages the multipath propagation between the base station (BS) and the target. To further enhance detection accuracy, a joint optimization framework is developed for subcarrier power allocation at the transmitter and weight coefficients of the GLRT detector. The objective is to maximize the probability of target detection while satisfying constraints on total transmit power and the communication receiver's signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). An iterative algorithm based on the…
