Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power safety communication technology, and in particular to a method and system for realizing high-order signal security communication based on phased metasurface. Background Technology
[0002] Existing communication transmitter systems based on phase-tunable metasurfaces can directly modulate baseband data onto a carrier signal illuminating the metasurface by adjusting the metasurface's reflection or transmission coefficients. The signal after reflection or transmission through the metasurface is the conventional radio frequency signal with amplitude-phase modulation. Recent work in this field indicates that, due to the coupling limitations of amplitude-phase modulation, designing metasurface units capable of independently and precisely controlling the amplitude and phase of the incident wave is extremely difficult. Although some published works have achieved independent amplitude and phase control, their control range and accuracy are not ideal, making them unsuitable for direct modulation of higher-order signals. Designing digitally coded metasurfaces with only phase-tunable reflection or transmission coefficients is relatively easier.
[0003] Based on a 2-bit phase-controlled metasurface, Zhang.L et al. proposed a spatiotemporal coding scheme in reference [1] and built a multi-channel direct information transmission system. By optimizing the spatial pattern of the metasurface array and performing periodic sequence coding on each unit, the scheme can independently transmit information to users in different preset spatial directions in different frequency bands, while the signal in the undesired direction will be distorted, which has a certain degree of confidentiality. First, since the scheme introduces a time-dimensional algorithm, the metasurface unit needs to be periodically controlled multiple times for each symbol transmitted, which greatly reduces the modulation efficiency of the electronic control device and wastes the control performance of the device; second, the signal transmitted to the user is an OOK signal, which has low spectrum utilization and low communication rate; finally, the signal beamwidth in the desired direction is large, and when the eavesdropper is in certain specific directions or close to the desired direction, the signal may still be eavesdropped. In the communication transmitter architecture based on metasurface, improving the spectrum utilization of the modulated signal and the modulation efficiency of the electronic control element in the metasurface unit is the key to realizing high-speed communication. In secure communication, increasing the distortion of the signal in the undesired direction is the key to improving the confidentiality performance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, the problem that this invention aims to solve is: poor security and low communication rate, which wastes the control performance of the device.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0007] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for realizing high-order secure signal communication based on phased-array metasurfaces, which includes the following steps.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment of the high-order signal secure communication method based on phased metasurface described in this invention, wherein: when transmitting the symbol of the information symbol sequence, the information symbol sequence to be transmitted is I with a length of Q; when the length of the random sequence S is less than I, the random sequence S is periodically extended to obtain the sequence S1, the length of the sequence S1 is W, W cannot be less than the length of the information symbol sequence I, and WQ consecutive elements are deleted from the sequence S1.
[0025] Align the 0 and 1 elements in the information symbol sequence and the random sequence S1;
[0026] Initialize t to 1 to represent the t-th symbol;
[0027] When the element in the random sequence S1 corresponding to the t-th information symbol to be transmitted is 0, execute the first-level step;
[0028] When the element in the random sequence S1 corresponding to the t-th information symbol to be transmitted is 1, the second-level step is executed.
[0029] t = t + 1, repeat this step until all symbols of the information symbol sequence have been sent.
[0030] As a preferred embodiment of the high-order signal secure communication method based on phased metasurface described in this invention, the first-level step is: according to the symbol to be transmitted, by looking up the mapping relationship table P1, the phase modulation state of the metasurface unit is adjusted so that the preset symbol can be synthesized in the far field of the metasurface normal.
[0031] The secondary step is as follows: based on the symbol to be transmitted, by looking up the mapping table P2, the phase modulation state of the metasurface unit is adjusted, and the preset symbol can be synthesized in the far field of the metasurface normal.
[0032] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention provide a high-order signal secure communication system based on a phased metasurface, which includes a metasurface construction module, an encoding pattern generation module, a random sequence processing module, and an information symbol transmission control module;
[0033] The metasurface construction module constructs an L×L metasurface subarray composed of 2-bit phased arrays and an N×N metasurface subarray composed of metasurface arrays.

[0037] Thirdly, embodiments of the present invention provide a computer device, including a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program, and the processor executes the computer program to implement any of the steps of the above-described method for realizing high-order signal secure communication based on phased metasurface.
[0038] Fourthly, embodiments of the present invention provide a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, wherein: when the computer program is executed by a processor, it implements any of the steps of the above-described method for realizing high-order signal secure communication based on phased metasurfaces.
[0039] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0040] 1. The method provided by this invention is applicable to both reflective and transmissive metasurfaces, and has universality for metasurface communication transmitter systems with 2-bit phase modulation capability.
[0041] 2. The high-order signal synthesis method proposed in this invention does not require periodic time-domain coding. For each symbol transmitted, only a few electronic control elements of each unit need to be adjusted at most once, which realizes high-efficiency utilization of the unit electronic control devices and improves the spectrum utilization rate.
[0042] 3. The high-order signal synthesis method proposed in this invention has the characteristics of directional modulation technology. It introduces a random sequence S. In different symbol periods, the same symbol may correspond to different spatial coding patterns. By utilizing the orthogonality of the demodulation directions of the signal beams generated by different spatial coding patterns in space, the demodulation beam range of the signal in continuous time is reduced. The receiver keeps the magnitude of the error vector (EVM) in the desired communication direction to a minimum. While ensuring the maximum signal quality in the desired direction, it effectively scrambles or hides signals that deviate from the desired communication direction.
[0043] 4. This method utilizes the characteristic of metasurfaces that can modulate the phase of the incident signal without changing the signal amplitude. Through spatial coding, a higher-order signal is synthesized in the far-field region of the metasurface. Through time coding, the spatial direction of the correctly demodulated signal is changed, ensuring that the signal can be continuously demodulated without distortion only in the intersection of the demodulated directions. Each change in the spatial pattern of the metasurface array transmits a corresponding higher-order symbol, realizing efficient utilization of the control performance of the metasurface electronic components and improving spectrum utilization. This method has the same confidentiality characteristics as traditional directional modulation; eavesdroppers may still be able to eavesdrop on the signal in certain specific directions or near the desired communication direction. However, this scheme introduces a random sequence S to dynamically change the spatial distribution of the beam, preventing eavesdroppers from continuously eavesdropping on the signal and allowing them to eavesdrop on only portions of the signal in certain specific directions, thus improving the confidentiality of communication.

[0059] Example 1
[0060] Reference Figures 1 to 8 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a method for realizing high-order secure signal communication based on phased metasurfaces, including the following steps:
[0061] S1. Construct a metasurface subarray consisting of L×L periodically arranged 2-bit phased array units.
[0062] The pre-synthesized QAM signal has an order of M, where M is greater than 8 and is a power of 2. The relationship between L and M is expressed as follows:
[0063]
[0064] in, This indicates the rounding up operation. The metasurface array consists of N×N of the above metasurface subarrays, where N can be any positive integer.
[0065] S2. Set a random sequence S, and combine it into X subsets with each N rows of metasurface units as the basic set. All subsets form a subset space A.
[0066] The random sequence S is of length l and contains both digits 0 and 1, where l is any integer greater than 1.
[0067] In the example, a random sequence S = {0,1,1,1,0,1,0,0,1,0} of length 10 is generated.
[0068] S3. By traversing all the permutations and combinations of phase modulation states among subsets in subset space A, M spatial coding patterns can be obtained, and a mapping table P1 is established between the spatial coding patterns obtained from all subsets in subset space A and the preset M-order signal symbols.
[0069] The subset space A contains all subsets composed of basic sets, and the combination methods are as follows:
[0070] When log2M is even, arbitrarily partition 2 k-1 From the undivided basic set to the k-th subset A k Inside,
[0071]
[0072] When log₂M is odd, both the first and second subsets are partitioned into one unpartitioned basic set, resulting in a 3×2 partition. k-3 From the undivided basic set to the k-th subset A k Inside.
[0073] In the embodiment, each row of metasurface units is used as the basic set to form two subsets. All subsets form a subset space A. Since log2M = 4 is an even number, the first basic set (the first row of metasurface units) is divided into the first subset A1, and the remaining two undivided basic sets (the second and third rows of metasurface units) are divided into the second subset A2.
[0074] Within a symbol period, all 2-bit phase-independent controllable units within each subset of subset A maintain the same phase modulation state. A combination of phase modulation states among subsets is called a spatial coding pattern. By traversing all permutations of phase modulation states among subsets in subset space A, 16 spatial coding patterns can be obtained, such as... Figure 3 As shown.
[0075] Table 1: Mapping relationship between spatial coding patterns obtained from establishing all subsets in subset space A and preset 16th-order signal symbols.
[0076]
[0077]
[0078] S4. Each N columns of metasurface units are used as the basic set to form Y subsets, and all subsets form the subset space B.
[0079] Each column of metasurface units is used as a basic set to form two subsets, and all subsets form a subset space B. Since log2M = 4 is an even number, the first basic set (the first column of metasurface units) is allocated to the first subset B1, and the remaining two basic sets (the second and third columns of metasurface units) are allocated to the second subset B2.
[0080] S5. By traversing all the permutations and combinations of phase modulation states among subsets in subset space B, M spatial coding patterns can be obtained, and a mapping table P2 is established between the spatial coding patterns obtained from all subsets in subset space B and the preset M-order signal symbols.
[0081] Subset space B contains all subsets composed of the basic sets, and the combination methods are as follows:
[0082] When log2M is even, sub-step 6.1: arbitrarily partition 2 k-1 The unpartitioned basic sets are incorporated into the k-th subset Bk.
[0083] When log₂M is odd, both the first and second subsets are partitioned into one unpartitioned basic set, resulting in a 3×2 partition. k-3 The undivided basic set is incorporated into the k-th subset Bk.
[0084] Within a symbol period, all 2-bit phase-independent controllable units within each subset of subset space B maintain the same phase modulation state. A combination of phase modulation states among subsets is called a spatial coding pattern. By traversing all permutations of phase modulation states among subsets in subset space B, 16 spatial coding patterns can be obtained, such as... Figure 4 As shown.
[0085] Table 2: Mapping relationship between spatial coding patterns obtained from establishing all subsets in subset space B and preset 16th-order signal symbols.
[0086]
[0087] S6. Repeatedly send the symbols of the information symbol sequence until the transmission is complete.
[0088] When sending the symbol of the information symbol sequence, the information symbol sequence to be sent is I with a length of Q. When the length of the random sequence S is less than I, the random sequence S is periodically extended to obtain the sequence S1. The length of the sequence S1 is W, and W cannot be less than the length of the information symbol sequence I. WQ consecutive elements are deleted from the sequence S1.
[0089] Align the 0 and 1 elements in the information symbol sequence and the random sequence S1;
[0090] Initialize t to 1 to represent the t-th symbol;
[0091] When the element in the random sequence S1 corresponding to the t-th information symbol to be transmitted is 0, execute the first-level step;
[0092] When the element in the random sequence S1 corresponding to the t-th information symbol to be transmitted is 1, the second-level step is executed.
[0093] t = t + 1, repeat this step until all symbols of the information symbol sequence have been sent.
[0094] The first-level step is as follows: based on the symbol to be transmitted, by looking up the mapping relationship table P1, the phase control state of the metasurface unit is adjusted so that the preset symbol can be synthesized in the far field of the metasurface normal.
[0095] The secondary step is as follows: based on the symbol to be transmitted, by looking up the mapping table P2, the phase modulation state of the metasurface unit is adjusted, and the preset symbol can be synthesized in the far field of the metasurface normal.
[0096] In this embodiment, the information symbol sequence to be sent is I = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15}. The length of the random sequence S is 10, which is shorter than the information symbol sequence I. Therefore, the random sequence S is periodically extended once, and 4 elements are deleted from the end to obtain the sequence S1 = {0,1,1,1,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,1,1,1,0,1}. The information symbol symbols and the 0 and 1 elements in the random sequence S1 are aligned, and the correspondence is shown in Table 3. Let t = 1.
[0097] Table 3: Correspondence Table
[0098] t 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Random sequence S1 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 Symbol sequence I 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
[0099] When the first information symbol is sent, the corresponding random sequence S1 has an element of 0, and the symbol to be transmitted is 0. By looking up the mapping table 1, the phase state of the metasurface unit is adjusted, and the preset symbol is synthesized in the preset direction.
[0100] Let t = t + 1, the spatial coding patterns corresponding to all 10 symbolic elements to be transmitted are as follows: Figure 7 As shown.
[0101] A pre-defined 16th-order QAM signal can be synthesized in the normal direction of a far-field array using a communication transmitter system based on a metasurface with 2-bit phase modulation capability; the signal constellation diagram synthesized at different times deviating from the normal direction is shown below. Figure 6 As shown in the simulation diagram, the distortion distribution of the synthesized signal EVM at different times and directions is as follows: Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, the spatial coding pattern changes of all 16 symbolic units to be transmitted in chronological order are as follows: Figure 8 As shown.
[0102] In summary, this method leverages the characteristic of metasurfaces that can modulate the phase of the incident signal without altering its amplitude. Through spatial coding, a higher-order signal is synthesized in the far-field region of the metasurface. Time coding alters the spatial direction of the correctly demodulated signal, ensuring continuous, distortion-free demodulation only along the intersection of the demodulated directions. Each change in the spatial pattern of the metasurface array transmits a corresponding higher-order symbol, achieving efficient utilization of the metasurface's electronic control components and improving spectral efficiency. While this method retains the same confidentiality characteristics as traditional directional modulation—eavesdroppers might still be able to eavesdrop in certain directions or near the desired communication direction—this scheme introduces a random sequence S to dynamically change the spatial distribution of the beam, preventing eavesdroppers from continuously eavesdropping and limiting their access to portions of the signal in specific directions, thus enhancing communication confidentiality.
