Millimeter wave (mmWave) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems capable of integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) constitute a key technology for connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs). In this context, we propose a multi-beam object-localization (MBOL) model for enhancing the sensing beampattern (SBP) gain of adjacent objects in CAV scenarios. Given the ultra-narrow beams of mmWave MIMO systems, a single pencil beam is unsuitable for closely located objects, which tend to require multiple beams. Hence, we formulate the SBP gain maximization problem, considering also the constraints on the signal-to-interference and noise ratio (SINR) of the communication users (CUs), on the transmit power, and the constant modulus of the phase-shifters in the mmWave hybrid transceiver. To solve this non-convex problem, we propose a penalty-based triple alternating optimization algorithm to design the hybrid beamformer. Finally, simulation results are provided for demonstrating the efficacy of the proposed model.
