[0044] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0045] In the field of wireless communication technology, the waveform on the time delay Doppler domain or the transform domain corresponding to the time delay Doppler domain is called a time delay Doppler waveform, and such a waveform has a strong anti-Doppler frequency shift capability and is the most potential candidate waveform for the sixth generation of mobile communication systems. Typical time delay Doppler waveforms include orthogonal time frequency space, affine frequency division multiplexing, etc. In a time delay Doppler waveform communication system, there are single-input single-output systems and multiple-input multiple-output systems, etc. The following will take a single-input single-output time delay Doppler waveform communication system as an example to illustrate this type of communication system.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 , where the subscript zz of all variables represents any kind of time delay Doppler waveform, such as orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS), affine frequency division multiplexing (AFDM), etc. It is assumed that x zz is a to-be-sent signal vector composed of N orthogonal amplitude modulation (QAM) symbols in the time delay Doppler modulation domain, and the size of each vector is N x 1. For OTFS, it corresponds to the time delay-Doppler domain, and AFDM corresponds to the discrete affine Fourier transform domain. At the transmitting end of the communication system, the time delay Doppler modulation is performed on x zz , i.e. OTFS corresponds to OTFS modulation, and AFDM corresponds to AFDM modulation, so as to transform to obtain a time domain signal vector s zz , the size of which is N x 1. Then, a cyclic prefix (CP) with a size equal to the maximum time delay of the channel is added to obtain a time domain signal vector with a cyclic prefix , which is then sent to a double-fading wireless channel through the transmitting end antenna; the time domain signal vector received by the receiving end antenna from the double-fading wireless channel is The CP is cut off from the vector to obtain a time domain signal vector d zz , the size of which is N x 1.

[0047] The double-fading wireless channel is modeled on the time delay Doppler domain to obtain:

[0048]

[0049] where P represents the double-fading wireless channel is composed of P paths, h i , τ i and v i represent the fading system, time delay and Doppler of the i-th path, respectively.

[0050] The relationship between the time-domain signal vectors without cyclic prefix at the transmitting end and the receiving end is:

[0051]

[0052] where H represents the equivalent time-domain channel matrix, H i represents the sub-time-domain channel matrix, where,

[0053]

[0054] Π N is a forward circular matrix, which has the function of simulating time delay, and its specific expression is:

[0055]

[0056] Δ N is a one-step frequency shift diagonal matrix, which has the function of simulating Doppler frequency shift, and its specific expression is:

[0057]

[0058] k i and l i represent the normalized Doppler frequency shift and time delay in the digital domain, which correspond to v i and τ i , respectively.

[0059] Finally, the d zz is subjected to time delay Doppler demodulation, so as to obtain the time delay Doppler modulation domain signal vector y zz , each vector in the vector has a size of N × 1, and w is a noise vector.

[0060] After the single-input single-output time delay Doppler waveform communication system is described, the multi-input multi-output system is easy to understand, which refers to a technical system using multiple antennas to transmit and receive signals in the field of wireless communication. Assuming that the multi-input multi-output time delay Doppler waveform communication system has N t transmitting end antennas and N r receiving end antennas, it is denoted as N t × N rIn a MIMO system, the channel between each pair of transmitting antenna and receiving antenna is only different in the fading coefficient of each path, and the number of paths, the time delay of paths and the Doppler of paths are all the same, so the diversity gain order of the system is the product of the number of paths P and the number of receiving antennas, and is irrelevant to the number of transmitting antennas N. t In a MIMO system, the channel between each pair of transmitting antenna and receiving antenna is only different in the fading coefficient of each path, and the number of paths, the time delay of paths and the Doppler of paths are all the same, so the diversity gain order of the system is the product of the number of paths P and the number of receiving antennas, and is irrelevant to the number of transmitting antennas N. r In a MIMO system, the channel between each pair of transmitting antenna and receiving antenna is only different in the fading coefficient of each path, and the number of paths, the time delay of paths and the Doppler of paths are all the same, so the diversity gain order of the system is the product of the number of paths P and the number of receiving antennas, and is irrelevant to the number of transmitting antennas N.

[0061] In order to further improve the reliability of the communication system and increase the diversity gain order, please refer to Figure 2 The first embodiment of the present application provides a signal processing method based on time-domain cyclic delay-Doppler shift, which comprises steps S10-S30:

[0062] In step S10, a to-be-sent signal vector of a transmitting antenna is obtained, and time delay-Doppler modulation is performed on the to-be-sent signal vector to obtain a first time-domain signal vector.

[0063] In step S20, cyclic delay shift and cyclic Doppler shift are performed on the first time-domain signal vector according to a preset step number to obtain a second time-domain signal vector.

[0064] In a time delay-Doppler waveform system based on a multiple-input multiple-output technology, the diversity gain of the system is a key index for the system to provide reliable communication services, and the greater the diversity gain, the faster the system bit error rate decreases with the increase of the signal-to-noise ratio, and the better the communication performance. According to the above introduction, it is very difficult to obtain the diversity gain of the transmitting antenna. In order to further improve the reliability of the communication system and increase the diversity gain order, the present application provides a time-domain cyclic delay-Doppler shift (TD-CDDS) method. The core idea of the present application is to perform time-domain Doppler shift on the time-domain signal in advance at the transmitting antenna and then send it to a double-fading wireless channel, so as to increase the equivalent number of paths between the transmitting end and the receiving end, thereby increasing the diversity gain order of the system. The specific steps are as follows:

[0065] In step S201, cyclic delay shift and cyclic Doppler shift are respectively performed according to a shift step number to obtain a cyclic delay shift matrix and a cyclic Doppler shift matrix, and the shift step number includes a time delay shift step number and a Doppler shift step number.

[0066] In step S202, a time-domain cyclic shift matrix is calculated according to the cyclic delay shift matrix and the cyclic Doppler shift matrix.

[0067] Step S203, according to the time domain cyclic shift matrix, time domain cyclic time delay Doppler shift is carried out to the to-be-sent signal vector, and a second time domain signal vector is obtained.

[0068] In the present application, the time domain cyclic time delay Doppler shift of the to-be-sent signal is realized through a time domain cyclic shift matrix. Please refer to Figure 3 , it is assumed that the time delay Doppler modulation is carried out to the to-be-sent signal vector of the tth (t=2, …, N t ) sending end antenna, and a time domain signal vector s zz is obtained. zz The time domain signal vector s is subjected to step 1 cyclic time delay shift and step 2 cyclic Doppler shift, and is recorded as step TD-CDDS, and a time domain signal vector s is obtained. The expression is as follows:

[0069]

[0070] It can be seen that through step 1 cyclic time delay shift and step 2 cyclic Doppler shift, a cyclic time delay shift matrix and a cyclic Doppler shift matrix are respectively generated. The two matrices are multiplied, and a time delay cyclic shift matrix is obtained. Through the time delay cyclic shift matrix , the time domain cyclic time delay Doppler shift of the to-be-sent signal vector can be realized, so as to obtain the time domain signal vector after the shift.

[0071] Step S30, a cyclic prefix is added to the second time domain signal vector, a third time domain signal vector is obtained, and the third time domain signal vector is sent to a double-fading wireless channel.

[0072] After the cyclic prefix is added to the time domain signal vector obtained through the TD-CDDS, it can be sent to the double-fading wireless channel. The receiving end antenna can obtain the time domain signal vector from the channel and remove the cyclic prefix according to the operation of the original system, and the time domain signal vector after the removal of the cyclic prefix is obtained, that is, formula (6) is substituted into formula (2), and the following formula is obtained:

[0073]

[0074] In the formula, s represents the TD-CDDS matrix, that is, the time delay cyclic shift matrix, s represents the component of the time domain signal vector received by the rth receiving end antenna and coming from the tth sending end antenna, wherein t=2, …, N ​

[0075]

[0076]

[0077]

[0078] is the fading coefficient of the ithpath between the rthreceive antenna and the tthtransmit antenna, and denote the equivalent fading coefficient, the equivalent Doppler and the equivalent delay of the ithpath between the rthreceive antenna and the tthtransmit antenna after step cyclic Doppler shift and step cyclic delay shift, respectively, is an exponential constant.

[0079] It can be seen from equation (7) that the step TD-CDDS on the time-domain signal vector in equation (5) is equivalent to that the P paths of the channel are simultaneously subjected to step cyclic delay shift and step cyclic Doppler shift, while the exponential constant attached to the equivalent fading coefficient does not change the amplitude of the original fading coefficient .

[0080] Since the symbol received by a receive antenna is the superposition of the symbols from all transmit antennas, the time-domain signal vector received by the rthreceive antenna can be expressed as:

[0081]

[0082] where w r is the noise vector of the rthreceive antenna.

[0083] Let PATH = {(k1, l1),..., (k P , l P )} be the set of time-domain Doppler parameter pairs of the original channel paths, then denotes the set of equivalent time-domain Doppler parameter pairs after step TD-CDDS on the tthtransmit antenna.

[0084]

[0085] Equation (8) is equivalent to that there are paths with different delays or different Dopplers, where |. | denotes the cardinality of the set, i.e., the number of elements, thus N t x N r is the diversity order of the system.

[0086] When the cardinality |PATH [ALL] | = N [ALL] P, the sets t PATH have no common elements, N t × N r diversity order of the system is N t PN r , that is, the diversity order obtained by using the TD-CDDS method provided by the application is N t times larger than the diversity order of the system before TD-CDDS, that is, full transmit diversity gain is obtained. Since the reflectors of the channel are sparse, the condition |PATH [ALL] | = N t P can be met in practical applications by adjusting the TD-CDDS step number of each antenna in advance through experience, so as to obtain full transmit diversity gain.

[0087] It can be seen that the technical solution provided by the application does not need to make any changes to the receiving end. The TD-CDDS matrix derived according to formula (7) is a sparse permutation matrix, that is, there is only one non-zero value in each row and each column, which is only related to the TD-CDDS step number and is irrelevant to the rapidly changing channel. Therefore, the TD-CDDS matrix only needs to be calculated once at the sending end with extremely low computational complexity and can be used all the time, which is simple to operate. Compared with the classical Alamouti transmit diversity method which needs at least two information symbol vectors time to achieve, TD-CDDS is completed within one information symbol vector time, and there is no limit to the number of transmit antennas, which is particularly suitable for high-mobility scenarios such as vehicle networks, unmanned aerial vehicle clusters, and space-air-ground integrated wireless communication systems with high reliability and low transmission delay.

[0088] The following verifies the performance of the above-mentioned signal processing method based on time-domain cyclic time delay Doppler shift in the AFDM system through numerical simulation, taking bit error rate (BER) as the evaluation standard for channel estimation accuracy. The number of paths between each pair of transmit and receive antennas is 2, the time-domain Doppler parameter pair of the two paths is [-1, 0] and [1, 0], the AFDM subcarrier spacing is Δf AFDN = 4 kHz, the number of subcarriers is N AFDN = 10, and the carrier frequency f cThe maximum mobile speed corresponding to 4 GHz fc is 1080 km per hour, and other main simulation parameters are shown in Table 1, wherein the maximum likelihood detector is the most commonly used optimal detector. The ratio of the time domain received data signal power to the noise power is denoted as SNR (signal-to-noise ratio).

[0089] System parameters Values Carrier frequency 4 GHz Subcarrier spacing 4 kHz Number of symbols (number of subcarriers) 10 Maximum Doppler shift 4 kHz Maximum moving speed 1,080 kmph Number of multipaths 2 Digital modulation scheme BPSK Detector Maximum likelihood detector

[0090] Table 1 System parameter setting

[0091] Attached Figure 4 The bit error rate of the AFDM system under different antenna settings is shown. For convenience of observation, auxiliary lines of diversity gain orders ρ = 2, ρ = 4 and ρ = 8 are provided. In a single-input single-output AFDM communication system, the diversity gain order is the multipath number 2; in a 2 × 1 AFDM communication system, the diversity gain order is 4, that is, the number of transmitting antennas 2 multiplied by the multipath number 2; in a 2 × 2 AFDM communication system, the diversity gain order is 8, that is, the number of transmitting antennas 2 multiplied by the multipath number 2 multiplied by the number of receiving antennas 2. That is, the TD-CDDS method provided by the application can significantly improve the transmit diversity gain, and has a lower bit error rate than the traditional method.

[0092] The signal processing method based on time domain cyclic time delay Doppler shift provided by the embodiment increases the equivalent branch number of the double-fading wireless channel to the original number of transmitting antennas, because the diversity order of the system using the time delay Doppler waveform is equal to the multipath number in the channel, so increasing the equivalent branch number by the method provided by the application can improve the diversity order of the system, that is, the transmit diversity gain is obtained. Moreover, only the time domain cyclic time delay Doppler shift needs to be added between the time delay Doppler modulation and the cyclic prefix addition at the transmitting end, and the receiving end is consistent with the original system operation and does not need additional changes. Therefore, the application can not only realize full transmit diversity gain, but also has low computational complexity and good gain effect, and can be used in all time delay Doppler-based communication systems, and has a very wide prospect in engineering.
