Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of wireless positioning technology, and in particular relates to a long-distance target positioning method, system and storage medium based on heterogeneous direct communication networking. Background Art

[0002] Wireless positioning technology has always been a hot topic of research. As construction machinery develops towards intelligence and unmanned operation, the demand for locating target vehicles has increased significantly to meet the needs of various application scenarios. Although the global positioning system (GPS) has been widely deployed on smartphones and vehicles, the accuracy of GPS tends to decrease in environments where the GPS signal strength decreases, such as remote areas, underground spaces, and local area network construction areas. Since these scenarios cover a large part of people's daily activities, how to accurately locate target users in these large areas becomes an important issue. This invention focuses on studying commonly used Wi-Fi devices, such as vehicle-mounted terminals, Wi-Fi networking devices, smartphones, etc., to achieve long-distance and high-precision positioning. In view of the large number of Wi-Fi devices and their ability to operate continuously, the ability to locate Wi-Fi devices at long distances in areas where GPS coverage may be limited or unreliable is crucial to providing accurate navigation services.

[0003] Existing Wi-Fi positioning methods do face the challenge of achieving long-distance positioning and high-precision positioning at the same time. These methods usually rely on Wi-Fi gateways as anchor points to estimate the location by extracting time-of-flight ToF and angle information from the communication between the target Wi-Fi device and the anchor point. However, significant challenges arise when the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the anchor point drops significantly, especially in long-distance scenarios. In this case, the communication between the target device and the anchor point will be affected by excessive noise or may even fail completely, resulting in degraded positioning performance.

[0055] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0056] Example 1

[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment proposes a long-distance target positioning method based on heterogeneous direct communication networking, including:

[0058] Acquire Wi-Fi target devices and ultra-wideband (UWB) anchor points that operate in the same frequency band;

[0059] Establish a communication link between the Wi-Fi target device and each UWB anchor point, and obtain the timestamp information of the propagation signal in each communication link;

[0060] Calculating the arrival time difference of the propagation signal in each communication link according to the timestamp information;

[0061] The location of the Wi-Fi target device is obtained according to the arrival time difference.

[0062] Wi-Fi UWB joint positioning technology WULoc (Wi-Fi UWB Location) is an innovative long-distance and high-precision positioning design for Wi-Fi devices. WULoc establishes a connection between a Wi-Fi target device and a UWB anchor point in the same operating frequency band, collects timestamp data from multiple links between the target and the anchor point, and finally calculates high-resolution positioning based on the collected time difference information. This overcomes the limitation that UWB and Wi-Fi cannot communicate directly. Even if the Wi-Fi device is far away from the UWB anchor point, high-resolution timestamp collection can be achieved, improving the accuracy of long-distance wireless positioning.

[0063] Example 2

[0064] Based on Example 1, this example also makes the following design.

[0065] The long-distance target positioning method based on heterogeneous direct communication is specifically divided into the following steps:

[0066] Step 1: Heterogeneous Network Construction

[0067] Unlike traditional positioning methods that use Wi-Fi base stations as anchor points, WULoc assigns anchor points to ultra-wideband technology UWB devices operating in the 6GHz band, which overlaps with the Wi-Fi 802.11ax 6E band.

[0068] Step 2: Heterogeneous direct connection

[0069] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, using heterogeneous direct connection technology, WULoc can establish a one-way communication link from the Wi-Fi target device working in 802.11ax 6E mode to the UWB anchor point. Through data packet simulation, a specially customized Wi-Fi data packet is identified and received as a UWB data packet at the UWB anchor point. After receiving the simulated UWB data packet, the UWB anchor point can extract the accurate timestamp.

[0070] In order to establish efficient cross-technology communication from UWB to Wi-Fi, such as Figure 5 As shown, the high configurability of Wi-Fi devices is used to transmit specially designed payloads to simulate UWB signals. Since the UWB protocol bandwidth is much higher than the Wi-Fi protocol bandwidth, the UWB signal to be transmitted is first generated, the simulated UWB signal is embedded in the Wi-Fi data packet, and the UWB 500MHz signal is reduced to the same 80MHz signal as Wi-Fi through downsampling, and then the signal is modulated and transmitted through the Wi-Fi device. To achieve downsampling, the signal must first be low-pass filtered, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0071] ,

[0072] Among them, s represents the complex frequency variable, which is the variable in Laplace transform and represents the frequency characteristics of the system; is the cutoff frequency, which indicates the frequency point at which the filter begins to significantly attenuate the signal, and n is the order of the filter.

[0073] After filtering, the signal retains the low-frequency 80MHz information, and then through the formula Complete downsampling, where is the sampling point of the original signal before sampling, M is the downsampling coefficient, is the signal point after sampling.

[0074] The Wi-Fi modulated signal is received through the UWB anchor point, and the signal in the entire bandwidth is divided into subcarriers based on Parsval's theorem and Fourier transform. The time domain signal is converted into the Wi-Fi orthogonal amplitude modulation point using orthogonal amplitude demodulation, and the symbol sequence corresponding to each subcarrier is solved, thereby inferring the payload of the Wi-Fi protocol.

[0075] Since there are errors in the forced conversion process of the signal, the error of the signal simulation time domain will be manifested in the frequency domain. Therefore, it is necessary to pre-select a special cyclic prefix length and a special UWB preamble sequence according to the error. The error calculation formula is as follows:

[0076] ,

[0077] Among them, U[k] is the frequency domain sequence of the analog signal, V[k] is the frequency domain sequence of the standard signal, u(t) is the time domain sequence of the analog signal, and v(t) is the time domain sequence of the standard signal.

[0078] Step 3: Time difference calculation

[0079] WULoc uses the high power output of Wi-Fi devices to achieve long-distance positioning, while using the high sampling rate of UWB to improve the accuracy of Wi-Fi target positioning. In this way, the signal broadcast by the Wi-Fi device is received by multiple UWB anchor points, such as Figure 3 As shown, by measuring the arrival time difference of the Wi-Fi signal at each anchor point, the signal propagation speed is used to determine the distance between the Wi-Fi target and each anchor point.

[0080] Due to the inherent bias of devices, the heterogeneous network is introduced in advance. Figure 6 A wireless synchronization mechanism is used to achieve high-precision synchronization between devices. The clock calculation formula is as follows:

[0081] ,

[0082] in, and Send for wireless synchronization source, The timestamp of the target sending record, The time recorded by anchor point A when data packet 1 is received locally. The time recorded by anchor point B when data packet 1 is received locally. The time recorded by anchor point A when data packet 2 is received locally. The time recorded by anchor point B when data packet 2 is received locally. The time recorded by anchor point A when data packet 1 is received locally. The time recorded by anchor point B when packet 3 is received locally.

[0083] After synchronizing the devices, the path difference between UWB anchor point A and UWB anchor point B and the Wi-Fi target is calculated. To calculate the time difference between the propagation signal reaching the two anchor points , the formula is as follows:

[0084]

[0085] Then we can calculate: .

[0086] Based on the hyperbolic formula, assuming the target position is , the positions of anchor point A and anchor point B are and , we can get the distance difference between the target and the anchor point, and the formula is as follows:

[0087]

[0088] From this, the hyperbolic equation of the time difference and coordinates can be calculated.

[0089] Step 4: Multi-anchor positioning

[0090] In WULoc, it is necessary to obtain a unique positioning result by comprehensively calculating the TDoA data between multiple anchor points. Two anchor points can only determine two curves based on the hyperbola equation, such as Figure 4 As shown, multiple hyperbolic equations are established through multiple anchor points to obtain more intersection points, and the target position is located based on different weights of the intersection points.

[0091] like Figure 7 As shown, WULoc needs to obtain the first peak of the channel impulse response of different anchor points to give different weights to different anchor points, where the calculation formula of the channel impulse response is as follows:

[0092]

[0093] in, is the channel impulse response function of the anchor point at time t, is The impulse function of the impulse signal arriving at time .

[0094] WULoc gives weights to different hyperbolic intersection points according to the different channel impulse response amplitudes of different anchor points, and finally realizes the joint positioning of the target. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0095] ,

[0096] Among them, the hyperbolic corner weights of anchor points m and n are The calculation formula is: ,in, is the location of the Wi-Fi target device, K represents the number of UWB anchor points, represents the coordinates of the intersection of the hyperbola between anchor point m and anchor point n, is the channel impulse response of anchor point m, is the channel impulse response of anchor point n.

[0097] WULoc leverages the inherent capabilities of UWB technology to achieve long-range and high-precision positioning for Wi-Fi target devices. UWB anchors have signal reception capabilities with extremely low signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), which enables them to reliably extract timestamps from Wi-Fi-UWB communications, even over long distances. In addition, the shortest path from the Wi-Fi target device to the UWB anchor is marked with a high-precision (15.62 picosecond level) timestamp, which is the key to accurate time difference calculation, helping to achieve precise positioning of Wi-Fi target devices.

[0098] Example 3

[0100] Heterogeneous networking building module: Select Wi-Fi target devices and ultra-wideband UWB anchor points with the same operating frequency band as networking communication devices;

[0101] Heterogeneous direct connection module: Establish efficient cross-technology communication from the UWB anchor point to the Wi-Fi target device, so that the UWB anchor point can successfully identify the signal transmitted by the Wi-Fi target device and record the timestamp information;
