Coexistence between communications and radar systems: A survey

Data traffic demand in cellular networks has been tremendously growing and has led to creating congested RF environment. Accordingly, innovative approaches for spectrum sharing have been proposed and implemented to accommodate several systems within the same frequency band. Spectrum sharing between radar and communication systems is one of the important research and development areas. In this paper, we present the fundamental spectrum sharing concepts and technologies, then we provide an updated and comprehensive survey of spectrum sharing techniques that have been developed to enable some of the wireless communication systems to coexist in the same band as radar systems.
