Özet

Water-filling (WF) algorithms are pivotal in maximizing capacity and spectral efficiency in multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) systems. However, traditional WF approaches cater solely to communication requirements, neglecting the emerging heterogeneity of 6G, including sensing and joint radar-communication (JRC). As these diverse demands grow in importance and have different Quality of Service (QoS) constraints, traditional WF becomes inadequate. Therefore, in this letter, we propose a unified interference-aware and QoS-constrained WF algorithm for systems with communication, sensing, and JRC. The proposed algorithm enables power allocation for multi-user MIMO systems, effectively addressing interference and balancing the support for heterogeneous user requirements.
