Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the interdisciplinary technical field of millimeter wave beam management and sensing technology, and in particular to a multimodal multi-user positioning composition and beam management method, device and storage medium. Background Art
[0002] The integration of communication and perception is developing into a key technology for millimeter-wave wireless communications. Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLM) has become a key framework for millimeter-wave communication systems. Its core functionality is to simultaneously locate users and create radio maps, which typically encapsulate key environmental features describing millimeter-wave multipath propagation. Implementation options for SLM range from geometry-based approaches to randomized finite set methods and belief propagation algorithms. Despite its potential, SLM is currently typically deployed at the user end, which can lead to frequent radio map updates due to the mobility of millimeter-wave devices and the limited sensing capabilities of terminals.
[0003] To address the above challenges, the concept of multi-user simultaneous localization and mapping has become an important research direction. The method revolves around three key steps: first, the client performs simultaneous localization and mapping locally, and then uploads its estimated wireless environment features to the base station or the cloud; next, the base station or the cloud fuses these line environment feature estimates to create a global radio map; finally, the user downloads the global radio map to improve their local simultaneous localization and mapping process. The dynamic nature of the user means that they will encounter a variety of environmental features, resulting in local radio maps that can only partially overlap. Coupled with the changes in user access time and sensing capabilities, these conditions bring significant design challenges to the multi-user simultaneous localization and mapping technology system.
[0004] Millimeter-wave communication systems utilize directional transmission through beamforming, a technique that, while effective, requires significant beam management overhead. Recent research has investigated using historical beam measurements, user-side motion, and environmental characteristics to simplify beam management and reduce overhead. Multimodal communication and perception-integrated systems, equipped with a variety of sensors, have introduced innovative beam tracking strategies, promising improved accuracy by leveraging additional sensor data. Notably, binocular cameras are considered adept at capturing user-side motion and are often used to assist in direct path tracking.
[0005] However, there is little research on the integration of camera perception results with multi-user simultaneous localization and composition techniques. At the same time, few studies have considered how to use the global radio map and user position estimation of multi-user simultaneous localization and composition techniques to form multi-user beam management. Summary of the Invention
[0006] Each exemplary embodiment of the present application provides a multi-modal multi-user positioning composition and beam management method, which has at least the technical effect of simultaneously obtaining multi-user position estimates and radio maps and completing multi-user beam management.
[0007] Each exemplary embodiment of the present application provides a multi-modal multi-user positioning patterning and beam management method, comprising the following steps:
[0008] Each target user estimates the multipath parameters of the propagation channel from the base station to the user based on the downlink pilot signal from the base station to the user. It then uses its own IMU measurement values to complete its initial position estimation and environmental feature estimation, and then feeds back to the base station.
[0009] The base station or cloud performs feature fusion based on the estimated environmental features of each target user to construct a global radio map, and generates radio map prior information for each target user based on the initial self-position estimate of each target user and the estimated environmental features fed back by the user;
[0010] The base station or the cloud obtains the perception results of the fixed binocular camera, and based on the perception results, integrates the initial self-position estimates of the target users to obtain the final user position estimate;
[0011] The base station or the cloud generates a multi-user beam management angle range based on the global radio map and the end user position estimate;
[0012] Each target user downloads radio map prior information from the base station or the cloud, updates its current location estimate and the current environment feature estimate, and simultaneously downloads the beam management angle range for beam management.
[0013] In another aspect of the present application, a multi-modal multi-user positioning composition and beam management method and apparatus is also proposed, comprising:
[0014] The initial estimation generation module is configured so that each target user estimates the multipath parameters of the propagation channel from the base station to the user based on the downlink pilot signal from the base station to the user, combines its own IMU measurement value to complete the initial self-position estimation and environmental feature estimation, and feeds it back to the base station;
[0015] A global radio map construction module is configured to perform feature fusion based on the estimated environmental characteristics of each target user at the base station or the cloud to construct a global radio map, and generate radio map prior information for each target user based on the initial self-position estimate of each target user and the estimated environmental characteristics fed back by the user;
[0016] A perception module is configured to obtain perception results from a fixed binocular camera at a base station or in the cloud, and based on the perception results, fuses the initial self-position estimates of each target user to obtain a final user position estimate;
[0017] a beam management angle generation module configured to generate a multi-user beam management angle range at a base station or a cloud based on the global radio map and the end user position estimate;
[0018] The update module is configured to download radio map prior information from the base station or the cloud for each target user, update the current estimate of its own position and the current estimate of environmental characteristics, and simultaneously download the beam management angle range to perform beam management.
[0019] In another aspect of the present application, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, wherein the storage medium stores a computer program, wherein the computer program is configured to execute the steps of any of the above method embodiments when run.
[0020] In another aspect of the present application, an electronic device is proposed, comprising a memory and a processor, wherein a computer program is stored in the memory, and the processor is configured to run the computer program to execute the steps in any one of the above method embodiments.
[0021] This application has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] 1. Most existing radio map construction methods rely on single-user implementation at the user end. This solution considers the fusion of multi-user composition results, resulting in a more accurate global radio map composition result.
