Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Conventional direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation methods often depend on an available line-of-sight (LoS) link. In non-line-of-sight (NLoS) scenarios, uncontrolled signal reflections can make target angular information difficult to recover, leading to a clear performance loss. To address this problem, this letter studies a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-based gridless DOA estimation system, where the RIS forms a virtual LoS link between the sensing node and the targets. We formulate DOA estimation through decoupled atomic norm minimization (DANM), using the spatial-domain sparsity of targets. Since conventional semidefinite programming (SDP)-based solvers for the DANM problem are computationally costly and difficult to implement efficiently, we further propose DANM-ADMM, an iterative algorithm based on the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). The main subproblems admit closed-form or projection-based updates. Simulation results show that DANM-ADMM improves DOA estimation accuracy over benchmark methods while maintaining low computational complexity.
