Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to synaesthesia integration, intelligent reflecting surface and broadband orthogonal frequency division multiplexing signal, and is a perception-assisted high-precision channel parameter estimation and target positioning method based on intelligent reflecting surface and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing signal. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the intelligent Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile communication networks, an increasing number of devices are connecting to wireless networks, placing new demands on future wireless networks: high capacity, low latency, and high efficiency. In the past, increasing the number of antennas, reducing cell ranges, and exploiting high-frequency bandwidth resources have enabled hundreds of billions of devices to connect to the internet. However, simply increasing the number of antennas, increasing transmitter power, or using high-frequency resources increases system power consumption. In recent years, the introduction of intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRS) and integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) systems has been proposed, believed to improve communication system performance and reduce system energy consumption, and is expected to become a key enabling technology for future mobile communications. An intelligent reflecting surface is a plane composed of a large number of passive reflective elements, each of which can independently control the amplitude and phase of the incident signal, thereby enabling active and intelligent reconfiguration of the wireless environment. However, the performance of an intelligent reflecting surface is highly dependent on the accuracy of channel state information. Although numerous channel estimation algorithms have been proposed, most perform estimation on the user side using downlink pilot signals and then transmit them back to the base station, or perform estimation on the base station side by having the user transmit uplink pilot signals. Both of these solutions require the user to consume significant amounts of energy and spectrum resources, negatively impacting the battery life and user experience of mobile devices. The integrated synaesthesia system integrates communication and perception functions, sharing a single system and spectrum resources to achieve both perception and communication with targets within the service range. Furthermore, semi-passive reflectors can also achieve signal perception by integrating sensor arrays within the reflector. Combining these two technologies is expected to further improve the efficiency and performance of mobile communication systems.

[0003] Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) signals are widely used communications signals, characterized by high spectral efficiency, robust multipath immunity, and interference resistance. Compared to narrowband signals, OFDM signals have dozens or even hundreds of orthogonal subcarriers. Combining OFDM with an IRS system introduces a large number of channel parameters, resulting in computationally intensive and time-consuming channel estimation, and poor real-time performance. Leveraging the sparsity and parameterized nature of millimeter-wave channels can reduce the number of channel parameters while enabling high-precision positioning and velocity measurement of communication targets. Channel parameter extraction methods based on fast Fourier transforms and channel parameter optimization methods based on Newton-like methods enable rapid and accurate parameter estimation. Channel parameters can be used for target positioning, channel prediction, tracking, and reconstruction, thereby optimizing base station and reflector beams, thereby improving system communication performance and spectral efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention focuses on an integrated OFDM communication and perception system assisted by an intelligent reflecting surface, studies the positioning problem of communication targets in three-dimensional space, and improves the system's target positioning accuracy, energy efficiency, and communication spectrum efficiency. In the above-mentioned MIMO system, the sensing elements of the base station and the intelligent reflecting surface sense the communication signal reflected by the target, and the reflecting surface performs analog-to-digital conversion on the data and transmits it to the base station through a reliable link. Based on the communication signal and the perception model, the base station performs an FFT transform on the three-dimensional signal matrix, extracts channel information from the signal matrix, and further improves the estimation accuracy of the channel information by introducing auxiliary variables representing the channel information and using a Newton-like optimization method. Based on the corrected channel information, a positioning and speed measurement method for three-dimensional targets is proposed, thereby achieving high-precision and high-energy-efficiency positioning of the target and further improving the spectrum efficiency of communication. The present invention can be used in deployment, monitoring, and control scenarios of low-altitude aircraft and autonomous driving vehicles.

[0005] Technical solution of the present invention:

[0006] A perception-assisted high-precision channel parameter estimation and target positioning method based on IRS and OFDM, comprising the following steps:

[0007] Step 1. Establish OFDM signal model, channel model and perception model;

[0008] First, an OFDM signal model is established; then, a reflection signal channel model is constructed, which is emitted by the base station, reflected by the target, and sensed by the base station, IRS transverse and longitudinal sensor arrays, including the base station-target-base station link channel response, the base station-target-reflecting surface transverse sensor array link channel response, and the base station-target-reflecting surface longitudinal sensor array link channel response; then, a receiving signal model of the base station, IRS transverse and longitudinal sensor arrays is constructed, and the received signals are respectively filled into the 3D symbol matrix Y 0 , Y 1 and Y 2 .

[0009] Step 2. Extract channel parameters based on FFT and Newton-like method;

[0010] Based on the Fast Fourier Transform algorithm, the received signal model obtained in step 1 is used to roughly estimate the Doppler frequency shift, signal arrival angle, and signal propagation delay in the three directions of the base station and IRS sensor array, a total of 9 channel parameters;

[0011] Auxiliary variables are introduced to compensate for Doppler, cosine of arrival angle and time delay. An optimization problem is constructed and solved using a Newton-like method to improve the estimation accuracy of the nine channel parameters.

[0012] Step 3. Estimate target kinematic parameters:

[0013] Based on the nine channel parameters estimated in step 2 and the known position coordinates of the base station and IRS sensor array, the position and velocity of the target are calculated to obtain the kinematic parameters of the target.

[0014] Beneficial effects

[0015] The present invention combines an integrated telepathic base station, a semi-passive intelligent transmitting surface, and broadband OFDM signals. Using downlink communication signals reflected by the target, the base station performs high-precision channel estimation and high-precision positioning and velocity measurement of the target based on a 3D FFT algorithm and a Newton-like method. In terms of communication, the present invention's use of intelligent reflecting surfaces and OFDM systems can improve communication performance in practical applications. In terms of perception, traditional methods for channel estimation and positioning based on uplink signals at the base station and downlink signals at the user side require the continuous transmission of a large number of pilot signals, consuming significant energy and resources on the user side. The proposed method receives target reflected signals at the base station and semi-passive reflecting surface and performs calculations at the base station, reducing energy consumption and conserving computing resources on the user side. Furthermore, because the transmitted signal is known to the base station, pilot signal overhead can be reduced, improving spectral efficiency. Thanks to the base station's linear array antenna, the linear sensor array of the semi-passive reflecting surface, and the broadband OFDM signal, the present invention can acquire multi-dimensional information such as the distance, velocity, and angle of a target in three-dimensional space, achieving high-precision positioning and velocity measurement.

[0028] A perception-assisted high-precision channel parameter estimation and target positioning method based on IRS and OFDM, comprising the following steps:

[0029] Step 1. Establish OFDM signal model, channel model and perception model

[0030] First, an OFDM signal model is established; then, a reflection signal channel model is constructed, which is emitted by the base station, reflected by the target, and sensed by the base station, IRS transverse and longitudinal sensor arrays, including the base station-target-base station link channel response, the base station-target-reflecting surface transverse sensor array link channel response, and the base station-target-reflecting surface longitudinal sensor array link channel response; then, a receiving signal model of the base station, IRS transverse and longitudinal sensor arrays is constructed, and the received signals are respectively filled into the 3D symbol matrix Y 0 , Y 1 and Y 2 The details are as follows:

[0031] Specific steps for building an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing signal model :

[0032] In step (1.1), assume that the OFDM signal consists of Q consecutive OFDM symbols, each OFDM symbol consists of M orthogonal subcarriers, and the carrier center frequency is f c , the subcarrier spacing is Δf, and the symbol transmitted on the mth subcarrier of the qth OFDM symbol is s q,m , q=0,1,...,Q-1,m=0,1,...,M-1, then the equivalent low-pass signal of the qth OFDM can be expressed as

[0033]

[0034] c(t) satisfies

[0035]

[0036] where T′ = T + T cp , T is the duration of an OFDM symbol, T cp It is a cyclic prefix to avoid interference between OFDM symbols, usually T / 4.

[0037] In step (1.2), the time domain representation of the continuous signal formed by Q consecutive OFDM symbols is

[0038]

[0039] Specific steps for channel model construction :

[0040] In step (1.3), the transmitted broadband signal x(t) propagates in the wireless channel and is affected by path fading, delay, and Doppler, resulting in changes in phase and amplitude.

[0041] Assume that the path attenuation is α, the propagation delay is τ, and the Doppler shift caused by the target motion is f d , considering each subcarrier of the OFDM signal as a flat fading signal, the signal received by the nth element of the uniform linear array antenna with N receiving elements is

[0042]

[0043] Where cosθ is the cosine of the angle between the wave source direction and the antenna array direction, λ is the carrier wavelength, d is the spacing between adjacent elements of the linear array antenna, and w n (t) is Gaussian white noise.

[0044] Step (1.4): Perform Fourier transform on the qth OFDM symbol signal at the receiving end to obtain the frequency domain representation of the signal.

[0045]

[0046] Where W q,n,m is the frequency domain value of Gaussian noise.

[0047] Step (1.5), in the case of a single-input multiple-output channel, the frequency domain response of the wireless channel corresponding to the subcarrier m of the qth OFDM symbol on the nth antenna element is

[0048]

[0049] Step (1.6), consider the case of multiple input and multiple output. Assume that the base station has L transmitting antennas and the antenna steering vector is Then the frequency response vector of the wireless channel is

[0050]

[0051] Where n∈{0,1,...,N-1} represents the serial number of the receiving antenna element or sensor element, and q and m are the same as in step (1.5), representing the OFDM symbol number and subcarrier number, respectively.

[0052] Step (1.7), such as Figure 3As shown in Figure 1, the system consists of an ISAC base station, an IRS semi-passive reflector, and a communication target. The base station and target, aided by the reflector, perform uplink and downlink communication and target perception and positioning. The horizontal and vertical uniform linear sensor arrays of the multi-antenna ISAC base station and semi-passive IRS are denoted as 0, 1, and 2, respectively. The number of sensing elements in the horizontal and vertical uniform linear sensor arrays of the base station and semi-passive IRS are N0, N1, and N2, respectively.

[0053] In step (1.8), let the Doppler shift of the base station-target-base station link be f d,0 , the signal arrival angle is θ0, the propagation delay is τ0, and the spacing between adjacent elements of the base station receiving antenna is d0, then the channel response of the link is

[0054]

[0055] Where n0∈{0, 1, ..., N0-1} represents the serial number of the base station receiving antenna element, q and m are the same as in step (1.5), representing the OFDM symbol number and subcarrier number respectively.

[0056] In step (1.9), let the Doppler shift of the base station-target-reflector transverse sensor array link be f d,1 , the signal arrival angle is θ1, the propagation delay is τ1, and the spacing between adjacent elements of the transverse sensor array of the reflector is d1, then the channel response of the link is

[0057]

[0058] Wherein, n1∈{0, 1, ..., N1-1} represents the serial number of the element of the lateral sensor array of the reflecting surface, and q and m are the same as in step (1.5), representing the OFDM symbol number and subcarrier number, respectively.

[0059] In step (1.10), let the Doppler shift of the base station-target-reflector longitudinal sensor array link be f d,2 , the signal arrival angle is θ2, the propagation delay is τ2, and the spacing between adjacent elements of the longitudinal sensor array of the reflector is d2, then the channel response of the link is

[0060]

[0061] Wherein, n2∈{0, 1, ..., N2-1} represents the serial number of the longitudinal sensor array element of the reflecting surface, and q and m are the same as in step (1.5), representing the OFDM symbol number and subcarrier number, respectively.

[0062] Specific steps for building a signal receiving model for base stations and semi-passive reflector sensor arrays

[0063] In step (1.11), consider a signal transmitted from the base station, passing through the line-of-sight path and the reflection path formed by the reflective surface to reach the target, completing communication. Part of the signal reflected by the target returns to the base station, while the remaining part reflects to the sensor array on the reflective surface. Because the signal after multiple reflections is weak, it is reasonable to assume that the reflected signal primarily originates from the line-of-sight path, while the signal from the reflection path through the reflective surface can be ignored. Furthermore, since the base station and the reflective surface are typically stationary and have a reliable communication link between them, the signal from the base station to the reflective surface array sensor can be easily compensated.

[0064] In step (1.12), assume that the beamforming vector of the base station is b , after passing through the base station-target-base station link, the base station receives the reflected OFDM signal, which is filtered, converted to analog, and demodulated. The frequency domain representation of the signal is:

[0065]

[0066] in is Gaussian white noise.

[0067] Similarly, in step (1.13), the frequency domain representation of the reflected signal sent by the base station, reflected by the target, and sensed by the IRS lateral and longitudinal sensors is:

[0068]

[0069] in and is Gaussian white noise.

[0070] Step (1.14), in the calculation unit on the base station side, with q, n and m as subscripts, the received signal y q,n,m Fill in the three-dimensional matrix respectively and Right now Used for subsequent estimation and calculation of channel parameters and kinematic parameters.

[0071] Step 2. Extract channel parameters based on FFT and Newton-like method;

[0072] This step is based on the 3D symbol matrix Y obtained from (1.14) using the Fast Fourier Transform Algorithm 0 , Y 1 and Y 2 , roughly estimate the Doppler frequency shift, signal arrival angle and signal propagation delay of the target in the horizontal and vertical directions relative to the base station and IRS sensor array, a total of 9 channel parameters;

[0073] Auxiliary variables are introduced to compensate for Doppler, cosine of arrival angle and time delay. An optimization problem is constructed and solved using a Newton-like method to improve the estimation accuracy of nine channel parameters.

[0074] The specific steps are as follows:

[0075] Step (2.1), at the base station, the transmitted downlink communication OFDM symbol s q,m is known and is used to compensate the perception signal for subsequent channel parameter estimation, i.e.

[0076]

[0077] Where * is the conjugate operator. Apply this operation to Y 0 , Y 1 and Y 2 , the signal matrices after compensation are and

[0081] Step (2.3), when the following conditions are met

[0082]

[0083] The amplitude of is maximized. Therefore, through the matrix and The index of the element with the largest amplitude in the equation can be used to obtain the estimated values ​​(rough estimates) of Doppler frequency shift, signal arrival angle and signal propagation delay, that is,

[0084]

[0085] Step (2.4), assume that the matrix and The indices of the elements with the largest magnitude are { q ′0,n′0,m′ n}, {q′1, n′1, m′1}, {q′2, n′2, m′2} , then the estimated values ​​of the channel parameters corresponding to the base station-target-base station link, the base station-target-reflector transverse sensor array link, and the base station-target-reflector longitudinal sensor array link are

[0086]

[0087] In step (2.5), since the number of FFT points is limited and discrete, the probability that the equation in step (2.3) is true is 0. In order to further improve the accuracy of channel parameter estimation and make the relationship in step (2.3) truly satisfied, an auxiliary variable δ is introduced. fd , δcosθ and δt, for Specifically, by Introducing δ fd , the phase change caused by δcosθ and δτ makes the Doppler, arrival angle cosine and time delay become fd +δf d , cosθ+δcosθ and τ+δτ, that is

The channel parameter estimation values ​​are

[0099] Step 3. Estimate target kinematic parameters:

[0100] Based on the 9 channel parameters estimated in step (2.9) and the known base station and IRS sensor array position coordinates, the target position and velocity are calculated to obtain the target's kinematic parameters. The specific steps are as follows:

[0101] Step (3.1), such as Figure 2 As shown, the base station is placed along the y-axis and the reflective surface is located in the xOZ plane. Assume that the position coordinates of the base station and the reflective surface are p0 = [x0, y0, z0] T and p IRS =[x IRS ,y IRS , z IRS ] T The coordinates of the transverse and longitudinal sensor array centers of the reflective surface are p1 = [x1, y1, z1] T and p2 = [x2, y2, z2] T . Let the target position be p = [x, y, z] T , the distance between the target and the base station is r0, the distances between the target and the horizontal and vertical sensor arrays of the reflective surface are r1 and r2 respectively, then according to the geometric relationship, the positions of the base station, the reflective surface and the target in the system satisfy

[0102]

[0103] In the formula

[0104]

[0105] r1=cτ1-r0

[0106] r2=cτ2-r0

[0107] The estimated target position is

[0108]

[0109] In step (3.2), the unit direction vectors from the target to the base station and the reflector array are e0, e1 and e2 respectively. From step (3.1), we can get

[0110]

[0111] Step (3.3), as shown in the figure, assume that the target ground speed is υ=[υ x ,υ y ,υ z ] T , whose radial velocities relative to the base station and the transverse and longitudinal sensor arrays of the reflecting surface are υ0, υ1 and υ2 respectively. d The corresponding relationship between the radial velocity and the radial velocity can be estimated as

[0112]

[0113] Step (3.4), the radial velocity and ground velocity of the target satisfy

[0114]

[0115] Let E = [e0, e1, e2], r =[υ0,υ1,υ2] T , then

[0116] υ r =E T υ
