Joint Near-Field Target Tracking and Communications with Full Duplex Holographic MIMO

Abstract

In this paper, we present a simultaneous target tracking and multi-user communications system realized by a full duplex holographic Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) node equipped with Dynamic Metasurface Antennas (DMAs) at both its communication ends. Focusing on the near-field regime, we extend Fresnel's approximation to metasurfaces and devise a subspace tracking scheme with DMA-based hybrid Analog and Digital (A/D) reception as well as hybrid A/D transmission with a DMA for sum-rate maximization. The presented simulation results corroborate the efficiency of the proposed framework for various system parameters.
