Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of wireless communication, and in particular to a communication and sensing integrated waveform design method for vehicle networking. BACKGROUND

[0002] Due to the rapid deployment of 5G networks, the sharp increase in the number of vehicles, and the continuous progress of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology, spectrum resources are facing unprecedented pressure. At the same time, V2X applications have strict requirements on delay, but the transmission of a large amount of sensing and communication data hinders real-time communication between vehicles and the surrounding environment, which exacerbates the contradiction between limited communication and sensing resources of networked vehicle devices. In this case, Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) has become a key solution in V2X applications. ISAC is a technology that combines sensing and communication, which can sense details such as direction, distance, and speed while transmitting information, has advantages such as improving spectrum utilization, reducing hardware deployment costs, and alleviating electromagnetic interference between communication and sensing, thereby realizing the complementarity of communication and sensing functions. On the one hand, sensing can enhance communication through more accurate channel modeling, channel estimation, beam management, and multi-vehicle resource joint management; on the other hand, communication can also enhance sensing. ISAC not only meets the communication needs between vehicles, but also collects accurate environmental information using its sensing capabilities. By efficiently utilizing limited spectrum resources, ISAC improves the performance of communication and sensing, and provides a strong guarantee for more intelligent traffic management and safe control of vehicles.

[0003] At present, ISAC based on V2X has been deeply researched in many aspects, but the research on ISAC waveform design in V2X is still in a blank state. Waveform design is a key aspect of ISAC, which determines the performance boundary that the ISAC system can achieve. V2X has more stringent requirements for communication and sensing capabilities. The existing ISAC waveform design method only considers the weighted optimization of MUI and waveform similarity, and does not take into account the sensing and communication problems brought by high dynamic changes in V2X, so it cannot well adapt to the V2X environment. The ISAC collaborative design waveform method involves creating a new waveform that seamlessly integrates communication and sensing functions. This requires the waveform to perform sensing tasks such as parameter estimation and target detection, while supporting communication through information data transmission. SUMMARY

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention aims to provide an integrated communication and sensing waveform design method for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) networks.

By minimizing the weighted sum of multi-user interference (MUI), the similarity between the designed waveform and the reference waveform, and the Cramér-Rao bound (CRB), the ISAC waveform achieves peak performance while enhancing radar capabilities and ensuring efficient communication. An optimization scheme constrained by total transmitted power and peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) is designed. This waveform exhibits good communication and sensing performance, transforming a non-convex problem into a convex one, which is solved using the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) algorithm. Simulation results show that the designed ISAC waveform has good communication and target detection capabilities, and can improve the spectral efficiency of V2X.
