Tasks scheduling for multistatic radar network

This paper presents a radar tasks scheduling method for multistatic radar network. Rather than assuming the task periods to be highly correlated to each other, the task periods in this paper are considered to be arbitrary. A three-step strategy is employed to design the scheduling method. Firstly, we build a radar task model with variable period. Then, we slot each radar timeline with different sizes and refresh periods of tasks according to the minimum deviation. Finally, a heuristic method is adopted to schedule tasks to each radar. The numerical simulations are presented to evaluate the validity of the method.
