In this paper, a joint antenna scheduling and power allocation (JASPA) scheme is put forward for multi-target tracking (MTT) in the distributed multiple-input multiple-output (D-MIMO) radar. Aiming at radar resource scheduling in the presence of range deception jamming (RDJ), the false target discriminator is designed based on the Cramer\u2013Rao lower bound (CRLB) in terms of the spoofing range, and the predicted conditional CRLB (PC-CRLB) plays a role in evaluating tracking accuracy. The JASPA scheme integrates the quality of service (QoS) principle to develop an optimization model based on false target discrimination, with the objective of enhancing both the discrimination probability of false targets and the tracking accuracy of real targets concurrently. Since the optimal variables can be separated in constraints, a four-step optimization cycle (FSOC)-based algorithm is developed to solve the multidimensional non-convex problem. Numerical simulation results are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed JASPA scheme in dealing with MTT in the RDJ environment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16142616","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,17]],"date-time":"2024-07-17T15:15:19Z","timestamp":1721229319000},"page":"2616","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Joint Antenna Scheduling and Power Allocation for Multi-Target Tracking under Range Deception Jamming in Distributed MIMO Radar System"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4529-9363","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhengjie","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"High Speed Aerodynamic Institute, China Aerodynamics Research and Development Center, Mianyang 621000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yang","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"High Speed Aerodynamic Institute, China Aerodynamics Research and Development Center, Mianyang 621000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6277-0113","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ruijun","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Air and Missile Defense College, Air Force Engineering University, Xi\u2019an 710051, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6209-9462","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cheng","family":"Qi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Air and Missile Defense College, Air Force Engineering University, Xi\u2019an 710051, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5216-7692","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jieyu","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Air and Missile Defense College, Air Force Engineering University, Xi\u2019an 710051, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3539","DOI":"10.1109\/JSYST.2023.3283974","article-title":"Resource optimization strategy in phased array radar network for multiple target tracking when against active oppressive interference","volume":"17","author":"Li","year":"2023","journal-title":"IEEE Syst.
