Radar interference mitigation and orchestration between vehicular radar sensors

A method comprising:

• receiving a first signal associated with a first radio detection and ranging (RADAR) sensor;
• receiving a second signal associated with a second RADAR sensor;
• determining an interference between the first signal associated with the first RADAR sensor and the second signal associated with the second RADAR sensor;
• determining one or more time intervals during which adjustments to an operation of at least one of the first RADAR sensor and the second RADAR sensor are to be applied;
• in response to determining the interference, determining one or more adjustments to an operation of at least one of the first RADAR sensor and the second RADAR sensor based on a safety parameter and a coverage parameter, the coverage parameter determining, for each of the one or more time intervals, an overlap in coverage of the first RADAR sensor and the second RADAR sensor given respective poses of the first RADAR sensor and the second RADAR sensor;
• and
• transmitting one or more instructions to adjust the operation of at least one of the first RADAR sensor and the second RADAR sensor during the one or more time intervals, wherein the one or more instructions prevent simultaneous transmissions by the first RADAR sensor and the second RADAR sensor during the one or more time intervals in which the overlap determined by the coverage parameter exceeds a threshold value.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• receive a first signal associated with a first radio detection and ranging (RADAR)
• sensor;
• receive a second signal associated with a second RADAR sensor;
• determine an interference between the first signal associated with the first RADAR sensor and the second signal associated with the second RADAR sensor;
• determine one or more time intervals during which adjustments to an operation of at least one of the first RADAR sensor and the second RADAR sensor are to be applied;
• in response to determining the interference, determine one or more adjustments to an operation of at least one of the first RADAR sensor and the second RADAR sensor based on a safety parameter, and a coverage parameter, the coverage parameter determining, for each of the one or more time intervals, an overlap in coverage of the first RADAR sensor and the second RADAR sensor given respective poses of the first RADAR sensor and the second RADAR sensor;
• and
• transmit one or more instructions to adjust the operation of at least one of the first RADAR sensor and the second RADAR sensor during one or more time intervals, wherein the one or more instructions prevent simultaneous transmissions by the first RADAR sensor and the second RADAR sensor during the one or more time intervals in which the overlap determined by the coverage parameter exceeds a threshold value.
