Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of wireless power supply sensor network communication, and in particular relates to a wireless power supply sensor network resource allocation method based on information freshness. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, more and more IoT applications require wireless sensors to be deployed in communication networks to perceive the status of the surrounding environment in real time. However, in practical applications, wireless sensors cannot send status updates in a timely manner due to the lack of continuous energy supply, which affects the freshness of the information. Wireless power supply communication networks are considered to be one of the effective solutions to the problem of limited device energy. At the same time, obstacles can easily block the distance between wireless sensors and base stations, affecting the timeliness of information delivery. Intelligent Reflecting Surfaces (IRS) intelligently reconfigure the wireless transmission environment by integrating a large number of low-cost passive reflective elements on a plane. This can effectively solve the problem of communication channel obstacles and improve the performance of wireless communication networks.
[0003] Currently, in IRS-assisted wireless energy communication networks, resource allocation can be optimized by increasing network speed, throughput, and energy efficiency. However, these approaches fail to consider information timeliness and cannot guarantee the reliability and accuracy of real-time allocation decisions. Furthermore, due to the complexity of actual communication scenarios, obtaining perfect channel state information is difficult. Imperfect channel state information affects the probability of interruptions in wireless sensor energy collection and information transmission, severely impacting the timeliness of system information.

[0021] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] The present invention proposes a wireless energy sensor network resource allocation method based on information freshness, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following contents:
[0023] 101. According to the wireless energy supply sensor network architecture with intelligent reflective surface assisted communication, determine the energy collection process information of the wireless sensor collecting energy from the energy station, and the information transmission process information of using the collected energy to transmit information to the base station via the intelligent reflective surface;
[0024] In the embodiment of the present invention, it is necessary to build a wireless power supply sensor network architecture with IRS auxiliary communication, such as Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention considers a wireless energy supply sensor network with IRS assisted communication. The network scenario consists of energy stations, wireless sensors, IRS and base stations. Specifically, there is an N T An energy station with 1 antenna, K single-antenna sensors, a single-antenna base station and N S IRS of reflection units, where N T ≥2, N S ≥2. Energy-constrained wireless sensors collect energy through energy stations and then send the collected status update information to the base station. Due to the obstruction of obstacles between the sensor and the base station, the IRS is used to reflect the signal to the base station. Define the wireless sensor set K≥2.
[0025] In this embodiment of the present invention, energy-constrained wireless sensors collect energy through energy stations and then use the collected energy to transmit collected status updates to a base station. Because obstacles between the sensor and the base station obstruct the signal, an IRS is used to reflect the signal back to the base station. This process information may include channel information, transmission information, and reception information.
[0026] 102. Based on the interruption probability of wireless sensors in the energy collection process and the interruption probability of wireless sensors in the information transmission process, construct an objective function to minimize the average information age;
[0027] This embodiment establishes a robust optimization model for the information age of wireless power supply sensors with IRS-assisted communication. In order to characterize the freshness of transmitted information, the information age is used as a performance indicator. Figure 3 The AoI evolution process of sensor k in the system is described. In the system time, it is assumed that sensor k needs to successfully send M data packets, so there are M update cycles. The total AoI in each update cycle can be Q m Indicates that m∈{1,...,M}. In the mth update cycle, the arrival time of the data packet is recorded as S m , the update time is recorded as D m . Use W m X represents the waiting time from the base station successfully receiving the m-1th data packet to the sensor generating the next data packet, m It can be seen that the actual transmission time of the mth state update information is W. m =S m -D m-1 and X m =D m -S m So the time required for an update cycle is I m =W m +X m .
[0028] In system time N, M data packets are successfully sent, and the average AoI is expressed as:
[0029]
[0030] Known When n→∞, the average AoI of sensor k is expressed as:
[0031]
[0032] Among them, Q m The area is represented as I m The width is 1 and the length is d(1+X m-1 ≤d≤I m +X m-1 ), that is:
[0033]
[0034] The average AoI of sensor k is further expressed as:
[0035]
[0036] In the system model, the waiting time W m It is related to the energy harvesting probability constraint, and its compliance probability is ω k =1-γ k At the same time, the interruption probability in each update cycle is considered to be the same. Then W m The probability mass function is Pr{W m =t}=γ k [m] t-1 (1-γ k [m]). From this we can get:
[0037]
[0038]
[0039] Similarly, assuming that the transmission of a data packet can be completed within one time slot, the transmission time X m It is related to the probability constraint of information transmission interruption, and the probability of compliance is β k =1-τ k The geometric distribution of X m The probability mass function is Pr{X m =t}=τ k [m] t-1 (1-τ k [m]). From this we can get:
[0040]
[0041]
[0042] according to We can get:
[0043]
[0044] according to and The average information age of the kth sensor in the system time is:
[0045]
[0046] Among them, γ k [m] represents the interruption probability of the energy harvesting process of the kth sensor in the mth update cycle, τ k [m] represents the interruption probability of the kth sensor information transmission in the mth update cycle.
[0047] Therefore, based on the above interruption probability, this embodiment constructs an objective function for minimizing the average information age, which can be expressed as:
[0048]
[0049] By minimizing the average information age, the covariance matrix of the energy station, the reflection phase shift of the smart reflector, the interruption probability of the energy collection process and the interruption probability of the information transmission process are obtained.
[0050] 103. Based on the uncertain channel state from the energy station to the wireless sensor and the uncertain channel state from the wireless sensor to the base station through the smart reflective surface, an uncertain channel state constraint for the distribution of channel state information error under a fuzzy set is constructed;
[0051] In order to characterize the uncertain channel state from the energy station to the wireless sensor and the uncertain channel state from the wireless sensor to the base station through the smart reflective surface, this embodiment can construct a channel uncertainty model.
[0052] In practical applications, there are errors in the channel state information. The actual channel state h k and H k Expressed as:
[0053]
[0054]
[0055] in, and Respectively expressed as h k and H k The statistical channel gain, and Indicates h k and H k The uncertainty channel state information estimation error. Compared with obtaining the exact distribution from the channel information state estimation, it is obviously easier to directly obtain the mean and variance of the channel state information error. Therefore, the definition of the fuzzy set This set contains all probability distributions with the same mean and variance, specifically expressed as
[0056]
[0057] in, Represents a fuzzy set Any distribution with mean and variance, and Respectively and The mean of and express and The variance of
[0058] Based on this, the uncertain channel state constraint of the distribution of the channel state information error under the fuzzy set of this embodiment can be expressed as:
[0059]
[0060] in, Represents a fuzzy set Any distribution with mean and variance, represents the probability distribution, and They represent the estimation errors of the uncertain channel state information from the energy station to the kth sensor and from the kth sensor to the base station through the smart reflector surface, respectively.
[0061] 104. Based on the energy collected by the wireless sensor during the energy collection process, the interruption probability, and the energy consumed during the information transmission process, the worst-case collection interruption constraint under the distribution of channel state information error under fuzzy sets is constructed;
[0062] In this embodiment, in the first phase, i.e., the wireless energy collection phase, the wireless sensor collects energy from the energy station. The energy collected by the kth sensor in each time slot of the mth update cycle is:
[0063]
[0064] in, represents the channel vector from the energy station to the kth sensor, represents the energy covariance matrix, is the radio frequency energy signal transmitted by the energy station, and χ represents the energy conversion efficiency.
[0065] Based on the above analysis, the worst energy harvesting interruption constraint under the distribution of channel state information error under fuzzy sets can be obtained, which is expressed as:
[0066]
[0067] in, Indicates the probability distribution The probability that A>B is true is, represents the probability function of the distribution of channel state information error under the fuzzy set, Indicates the minimum energy consumed to transmit information.
[0068] 105. According to the information transmission rate, interruption probability and minimum information transmission probability of wireless sensors in the information transmission process, the transmission interruption probability constraint under the distribution of channel state information error under fuzzy sets is constructed;
[0069] In this embodiment, in the second phase, i.e., the wireless information transmission phase, the wireless sensor uses the energy collected in the first phase to transmit information. The information transmission rate of the kth sensor in the update period m is expressed as:
[0070]
[0071] Where B represents the channel bandwidth, represents the transmission power of the kth sensor, represents the reflection phase shift vector of IRS, represents the cascade channel from the kth sensor to the base station through the IRS, σ 2 Represents the noise power. and denote the channel vectors from the kth sensor to the IRS and from the IRS to the base station, respectively.
[0072] Based on the above analysis, we can derive the transmission interruption probability constraint under the distribution of channel state information error under the fuzzy set, which can be expressed as:
[0073]
[0074] in, represents the information transmission rate of the kth sensor, Indicates the minimum information transmission rate.
[0075] 106. According to the interruption probability of the wireless sensor in the energy collection process and the interruption probability in the information transmission process, the collection interruption probability constraint and the transmission interruption probability constraint are respectively constructed;
[0076] In this embodiment, the probability intervals of the collection interruption probability and the transmission interruption probability need to be limited to between 0 and 1, so the following constraints are constructed:
[0077] C4:0<γ k [m]<1
[0078] C5:0<τ k [m]<1
[0079] 107. Construct a transmit power constraint based on the covariance matrix of the energy station during the energy collection process and the maximum transmit power;
[0080] In this embodiment, the transmit power constraint can be expressed as:
[0081]
[0082] Where Tr(·) represents the trace of the matrix, W represents the energy covariance matrix of the energy station, Indicates the maximum transmission power of the energy station.
[0083] 108. Construct a reflection phase shift constraint of the smart reflective surface based on the reflection angle of the smart reflective surface;
[0084] In this embodiment, the reflection phase shift constraint is expressed as:
[0085] C6:|v n |=1
[0086] Where ν represents the reflection phase shift vector of IRS, v n Indicates the phase shift angle of the nth reflection unit.
[0087] 109. By solving the robust optimization model of the information age of wireless sensors composed of the objective function of minimizing the average information age and various constraints, the covariance matrix of the energy station, the reflection phase shift of the intelligent reflector, the interruption probability of the energy collection process and the interruption probability of the information transmission process are obtained.
[0088] Combining the sensor energy constraint, information transmission rate constraint, IRS reflection phase shift constraint and channel conditions, the robust optimization problem of the system average information age is established, which can be expressed as:
[0089]
[0090]
[0091]
[0092]
[0093] C4:0<γ k [m]<1
[0094] C5:0<τ k [m]<1
[0095] C6:|v n |=1
[0096]
[0097] In this embodiment, the information age robust optimization problem is transformed into two sub-problems to be solved, and an information age optimization solution is obtained.
[0098] The information age optimization solution process includes:
[0099] The CVaR method is used to transform the outage probability constraint into a deterministic constraint, and the rewritten information age robust optimization problem is obtained.
[0100] Considering the uncertainty of channel information in the worst case, the constraint is always established, and the upper bound of the information age of the objective function under the distributed robust optimization opportunity constraint is solved. According to the above fuzzy set The distribution of channel state information error in the worst case is expressed as:
[0101]
[0102]
[0103] To transform the probabilistic constraints into deterministic constraints, a method based on CVaR is introduced, which is a convex approximation of the worst-case chance constraints. and Can be rewritten as:
[0104]
[0105]
[0106] Among them, β1, M1 and β2, M2 are auxiliary variables of energy harvesting opportunity constraint and information transmission opportunity constraint respectively.
[0107] Based on the CVaR method, P1 is rewritten as the following optimization problem:
[0108]
[0109] stC3-C7
[0110]
[0111]
[0112] An alternating iterative algorithm is used to decompose the robust optimization of rewritten information age into two sub-problems.
[0113] Fix v and τ in P2 k , P2 can be transformed into an information age optimization model with the optimization variables being the energy covariance matrix and the energy collection interruption probability, that is, it can be transformed into optimizing W and γ k The sub-problem is expressed as:
[0114]
[0115]
[0116]
[0117]
[0118] C4:0<γ k [m]<1
[0119] Fix W and γ in P2 k , P2 can be transformed into an information age optimization model with the optimization variables being the IRS reflection phase shift and the probability of information transmission interruption, that is, it can be transformed into optimizing v and τ k The sub-problem is expressed as:
[0120]
[0121]
[0122]
[0123] C6:|v n |=1
[0124] The convex optimization tool is used to solve the two sub-problems, and the energy covariance matrix of the energy station, the IRS reflection phase shift, the energy collection interruption probability and the information transmission interruption probability, that is, the information age minimization transmission scheme, are obtained.
[0125] Let V = νν H , where Rank(V)=1 and V≥0. Using the semi-positive definite relaxation method, the information transmission subproblem P4 is transformed into:
[0126]
[0127]
[0128]
[0129] Subproblems P3 and P5 are both standard semidefinite convex optimization problems that can be solved directly using the CVX toolbox. Since P5 relaxes the rank constraint of Rank(V)=1, a Gaussian random method is used to construct a unique solution for V. The eigenvalue decomposition of V, that is, V=UΣU H , U and Σ are unitary and diagonal matrices respectively. The suboptimal solution is ν=UΣ 1 / 2 r, r are circularly symmetric Gaussian random variables with r~CN(0;I). Therefore, the optimal solution to problem P5 is to use The biggest one.
[0130] Under the influence of imperfect channel information, the resource allocation method of this invention aims to improve the information timeliness of the entire system. It considers the energy collection and information transmission probability constraints under the worst-case communication conditions, ensuring the information freshness of wireless sensor communications. The optimal robust optimization scheme for wireless sensor information age is obtained.

Figure 4 It can be seen that the average AoI of the wireless sensor in the present invention can converge to a stable point after several iterations. T and the number of reflection units N S As the value of increases, the average information age of the system decreases. Figure 5 Shows the channel state information error and Impact on Average AoI. As channel state information error increases and channel conditions worsen, the average AoI of the system increases using our method, while the average information age remains unchanged in the non-robust application model. Furthermore, our method outperforms the non-robust method, demonstrating that it is sensitive to variations in channel estimation error and can maintain information freshness even under relatively poor channel conditions, further demonstrating its robustness and practicality.
