Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of waveform design, and particularly relates to an anti-distance ambiguity integrated sensing and communication waveform design method based on multiple pulse repetition frequencies. BACKGROUND

[0002] As the next generation of mobile communication systems, 6G is required to have the ability of interconnected sensing in addition to the communication ability. The future 6G system will have higher frequency bands, larger bandwidths, and more densely distributed large-scale antenna arrays to integrate wireless signal sensing and communication capabilities, and further improve the collaboration ability between systems. Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) is one of the key scenarios of 6G. The research focus is to design a dual-function waveform that can realize sensing and communication through shared signaling resources.

[0003] Due to the wider frequency band, bandwidth, and antenna conditions of 6G, radar systems can be integrated into the ISAC system for ISAC waveform design. Among them, the pulse-Doppler radar system is used to embed communication symbols to form an ISAC system due to its strong long-range sensing ability. The pulse-Doppler radar is based on a single pulse repetition interval (PRI) echo time delay to perform ranging, and at this time, the selection of pulse repetition frequency (PRF) is particularly important, which needs to meet the distance, speed area coverage and resolution requirements, which involves the trade-off between the maximum unambiguous distance and the maximum unambiguous speed.

[0004] The PRF is divided into low, medium and high frequency bands. The low PRF corresponds to a larger PRI, and does not cause distance ambiguity within the maximum effective distance, but cannot guarantee speed ambiguity. The medium PRF has good all-around coverage for targets, but will cause ambiguity in the distance and speed intervals. The high PRF can not only obtain a wider uncluttered region in the frequency domain to ensure speed ambiguity, but also increase the number of cumulative pulses within a coherent processing interval (CPI), thereby improving the detection signal-to-noise ratio, but cannot avoid distance ambiguity. Since speed is crucial for target tracking and needs to be accurately measured, the PD radar usually selects a high PRF, which will often cause distance ambiguity in the PD radar.

[0005] Distance ambiguity is caused by the echo time delay of a long-distance target exceeding the measurable range of PRI, which is due to the defects of radar ranging system. Radar measures the distance according to the time delay between the transmitted signal and the echo within one PRI. When the target is close, the echo arrives before the next PRI transmission signal, and accurate ranging can be achieved at this time. When the target is far away, the echo returns after several PRIs, and the radar misjudges the target in the current PRI at this time. The true time delay is folded into one PRI range, resulting in a serious decrease in ranging accuracy with the increase of the number of echo delays. Therefore, in the design of ISAC waveform, it is necessary to not only ensure the communication performance, such as transmission rate, but also ensure the sensing performance, such as ranging accuracy. Therefore, it is necessary to effectively solve the ambiguity of the measured distance to achieve more accurate target distance estimation.

[0006] To solve the problem of distance ambiguity, the application designs a multi-pulse repetition frequency based integrated sensing and communication waveform design method. The folded time delay in each PRF is obtained by transmitting different PRFs in multiple CPIs, the unfolded time delay is solved by combining the remainder theorem, and the true distance of the target is estimated according to the unfolded time delay. The proposed waveform design can effectively improve the distance ambiguity problem, expand the maximum non-ambiguous distance range, improve the detection probability and distance estimation accuracy of long-distance targets, and further improve the performance of the ISAC system. SUMMARY

[0084] Advantages

[0085] The method utilizes a full-duplex ISAC node to transmit multiple pulse repetition periods within one coherent processing interval (CPI), and sequentially transmits a perceived signal and a communication symbol in each pulse repetition period. In multiple CPIs, a transmission signal with a multi-PRF is formed by changing the length of the communication symbol. Secondly, the echo of the range ambiguity target is matched filtered by the perceived part of the transmission signal known by the full-duplex ISAC node, thereby avoiding the influence of the random communication symbol on perception. Thirdly, the full-duplex self-interference and noise are reduced through pulse-Doppler processing, thereby enhancing the perception signal-to-interference ratio. On this basis, a fixed threshold is used for target detection in each CPI. Finally, when all the CPIs detect the target, the target apparent time delay in each CPI is obtained by searching for peaks in the range-Doppler matrix obtained after pulse-Doppler processing, and the real time delay is solved by combining the remainder theorem, thereby estimating the real distance of the target.

According to the method for designing a synaesthesia-integrated waveform based on multiple pulse repetition frequencies (PRFs) in claim 1, step three, using the known sensing portion of the transmitted signal of the full-duplex ISAC node to perform matched filtering on the echo of the range-ambiguous target to eliminate interference from random communication symbols, comprises the following steps: When the target is far away and the distance is ambiguous, the echo arrives after several PRIs. At this time, only the sent signal and the received signal perception part can match. The received signal perception vector It can be expressed as: in, represents the power vector of all pulse repetition periods within the i-th CPI, denote the perception signal power and communication signal power respectively, It is a vector composed of the fast time code vector c corresponding to LFM and zero value, expressed as: Therefore, in order to eliminate the influence of random communication symbols on the matching results, the ISAC matching filter h i,k The design is the perception part of the original waveform, expressed as: In the kth PRI of the i-th CPI, k=d,d+1,…,K i -1, the result of performing matched filtering Expressed as: in, express Middle elements, * indicates convolution operation; In the i-th CPI, K i with the same PRFF i The pulse matching filter results are aligned according to the range gate to form a matching filter result matrix Expressed as: in, For the general A vector written as columns, In the kth PRI, when Corresponding to the target apparent delay The corresponding range gate under the i-th PRF Place, that is hour, The range gate corresponding to the target's true distance The peak value is obtained at Expressed as: in,(·) H represents the conjugate transpose, x i,k,r 、z i,k and n i,k are the results of the perception part of the transmitted signal, self-interference and noise passing through the matched filter, expressed as: Among them, when the perceived signal power and communication signal power When fixed, ξ i is a constant, expressed as:
