In this paper, we investigate the coexistence of a single cell massive MIMO communication system with a MIMO radar. We consider the case where the massive MIMO BS is aware of the radar's existence and treats it as a non-serviced user, but the radar is unaware of the communication system's existence and treats the signals transmitted by both the BS and the communication users as noise. Using results from random matrix theory, we derive the rates achievable by the communication system and the radar. We then use these expressions to obtain the achievable rate regions for the proposed joint radar and communications system. We observe that due to the availability of a large number of degrees of freedom at the mMIMO BS, results in minimal interference even without co-design. Finally we corroborate our findings via detailed numerical simulations and verify the validity of the results derived previously under different settings.
