Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to a ground receiving terminal positioning method and system based on OTFS modulation enhanced low-orbit satellite opportunity signal. Background Art

[0002] The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) has long been regarded as a standard technical tool for outdoor positioning and is widely used in daily life and industry needs. However, with the continuous improvement of positioning accuracy requirements and the consideration of device power consumption limitations, existing GNSS systems face challenges such as indoor positioning accuracy, anti-interference capabilities, and low power consumption and low complexity requirements. To meet the above challenges, low earth orbit (LEO) satellites have been proposed as an important supplement to the GNSS system. Compared with the GNSS system, LEO satellites have the advantages of stronger signal strength, lower propagation delay, diversified supplementary signals and wide coverage.

[0003] At present, the existing LEO constellations (such as SpaceX's Starlink, Amazon's Kuiper and OneWeb, etc.) are usually used as opportunity signals to locate the ground receiver through Doppler positioning. Most of the existing low-orbit satellite signal modulation technologies use Chirp spread spectrum modulation, direct sequence spread spectrum BPSK modulation and OFDM modulation technology. Although these modulation technologies support long-distance signal transmission, the characteristics of the existing signals make it impossible to effectively distinguish the Doppler shifts of different path signals in dynamic channels, and cannot adapt well to high-speed mobile wireless scenarios, resulting in inaccurate positioning results. In addition, the existing signal processing methods are mainly concentrated in the time-frequency domain, which cannot match the characteristics of the satellite-to-ground channel well. OTFS modulation can convert time-varying channels into quasi-time-invariant channels by mapping signals to the Delay-Doppler (DD) domain, so that all symbols experience the same channel conditions throughout the transmission process. However, OTFS is currently mainly studied for communication scenarios, and its advantages as a positioning waveform have not yet been explored.

[0110] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention can be implemented in many different ways as defined and covered by the claims.

[0111] See also Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a ground receiving end positioning method based on OTFS modulation enhanced low-orbit satellite opportunity signal is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0114] The satellite's position and velocity information is obtained based on the satellite's orbital elements combined with a simplified conventional perturbation propagation model.

[0115] A sub-satellite point trajectory diagram is obtained according to the position information and speed information of the satellite; the sub-satellite point trajectory diagram includes the position information and speed information of a preset number of satellites.

[0116] The real-time position and speed information of E satellites are acquired according to the sub-satellite point trajectory diagram to obtain first data.

[0117] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the longitude and latitude of the sub-satellite point are calculated:

[0118] ,

[0119] in, Indicates the longitude of the subsatellite point; Indicates the latitude of the subsatellite point; and Indicates the coordinate position of the satellite in the geocentric inertial coordinate system.

[0120] Using the WGS-84 ellipsoid model of the earth and combining it with the real-time position information, the satellite's trajectory is projected onto the correct longitude and latitude coordinates on the earth's surface. Finally, for ease of observation, it is converted to the Northeastern Universe (ENU) coordinate system to obtain the final sub-satellite point trajectory map.

[0121] In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, see Figure 2, shows the sub-satellite point trajectory diagrams of four low-orbit satellites, Satellite 1, Satellite 2, Satellite 3 and Satellite 4. The sub-satellite point trajectory reflects the movement path of the satellite on the earth's surface, that is, the dynamic coverage of the satellite relative to the rotation of the earth. The trajectory lines show that the satellite moves in a curve on the earth's surface, which is related to the satellite's orbital inclination and the earth's rotation. The trajectory of each satellite in the figure is different, indicating that they are operating on different orbital planes. The orbital inclination determines the coverage of the sub-satellite point. Satellite trajectories with larger inclinations cover high latitudes, while satellites with smaller inclinations mainly cover medium and low latitudes. The distribution of sub-satellite point trajectories directly affects the positioning geometric distribution conditions (GDOP, geometric sparsity factor). The trajectories of the four satellites are relatively independent, and the angles between the trajectories are well distributed. This geometric distribution helps to reduce positioning errors.
