Abstract

This invention discloses an orthogonal time-frequency-space cross-domain multiple access method applied to a RIS-assisted MIMO-OTFS system. The base station superimposes the information to be transmitted to each user in the power domain, performs OTFS modulation, and generates a transmit signal. The transmit signal is reflected by the RIS to reach the receiver, constructing the user's time-domain received signal. Each group of users demodulates the time-domain received signal using OTFS to obtain the information sent to them by the base station. Based on this, optimization is performed on three important factors affecting system performance: the beamforming vector of the base station antenna, the power allocated by the base station to each user's information, and the RIS phase shift matrix. The original non-convex optimization problem is transformed into a convex optimization problem for solution. While ensuring rapid convergence of the algorithm, the system rate of the RIS-assisted OTFS cross-domain multiple access system is maximized, achieving a higher system rate and more user access compared to traditional orthogonal multiple access systems.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wireless multiple access technology, and more specifically to an orthogonal time-frequency-space cross-domain multiple access method. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the development of technology, communication scenarios have become increasingly diversified, and communication needs have become increasingly differentiated. Many high-speed mobile scenarios have emerged, such as vehicle communication, high-speed rail communication, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communication, and low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite communication. In these high-speed mobile communication scenarios, due to the large relative movement speeds of the transmitting and receiving ends, severe Doppler frequency offset leads to serious inter-carrier interference in traditional Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), significantly reducing system performance. Unlike OFDM, Orthogonal Time-Frequency Space (OTFS) is a two-dimensional modulation technique that modulates information in Delay-Doppler (DD). It can convert a bidispersive channel into a two-dimensional quasi-time-invariant channel and achieve two-dimensional interleaving, thereby obtaining full time-frequency gain. Due to the modulation characteristics of OTFS, it can provide more reliable communication services in high-speed mobile scenarios.

[0003] Intelligent Reflectors (RIS) can significantly improve the performance of OTFS systems when the direct path is blocked by constructing reflection paths and adjusting the reflection coefficients of the reflecting elements. The selection of the reflection coefficients of the reflecting elements is crucial to improving the performance of RIS-assisted OTFS systems. Furthermore, the number of mobile users accessing the system will continue to increase in the future. With limited time and frequency resources, traditional Orthogonal Multiple Access (OMA) technology is insufficient to serve a large number of users; Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) technology, compared to OMA, can accommodate more users and improve system speed. Current research has considered using NOMA for user access in RIS-OTFS systems, but its transmitter focuses on a single antenna and only optimizes the RIS phase shift coefficient, without considering the joint optimization of beamforming, RIS phase shift coefficient, and power allocation in a multi-antenna RIS-OTFS system. Therefore, this system loses degrees of freedom and cannot achieve higher system speeds. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an orthogonal time-frequency-space cross-domain multiple access method to maximize the system rate.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution:

[0073] This invention addresses the RIS-assisted OTFS cross-domain multiple access system by constructing an optimization problem with the goal of maximizing system rate. It jointly optimizes active beamforming, RIS phase shift coefficients, and power allocation coefficients. Furthermore, it employs semidefinite programming (SDP), continuous convex approximation (SCA), and Schur complement methods to transform the original non-convex optimization problem into a convex optimization problem for solution.

[0074] In a RIS-assisted MIMO-OTFS system, there is one base station, one smart reflector, and K user groups. Each user group contains two users who access each other via multiple access in a non-orthogonal manner. Furthermore, it is assumed that the first user in each group has stronger decoding capabilities, while the second user has weaker decoding capabilities. The base station has N transmit antennas. t N t ≥K, each user is equipped with only one antenna; the number of reflective antenna elements in the RIS is N. r .

[0075] The technical solution of this invention is as follows:

[0076] Step 1: The base station superimposes the information to be transmitted to each user in the power domain, performs OTFS modulation, and then outputs it to N. t The antenna transmits.

[0077] After mapping the information of the two users in the k-th group to a constellation, the base station superimposes the information in the power domain to obtain the superimposed constellation symbol:

[0084] The base station generates a transmission signal s from the time-domain signals of the K groups of users after OTFS modulation and transmits it.

[0085]

[0091] r k,c =G k,c ΘHs+n

[0092] Where c represents the user index value, taking the value 1 or 2; n represents the noise vector; H represents the equivalent channel matrix between the base station and the RIS, which can be specifically represented as:

[0093]

[0094] Define H BR,g,f This represents the channel response matrix (g = 1, 2, ..., N) between the g-th transmit antenna of the base station and the f-th reflection element of the RIS. t f = 1, 2...N r ), which constitute a submatrix in the g-th row and f-th column of H, H BR,g,f Specifically, it is expressed as follows:

[0095]

[0096] In the above formula, P1 represents the total number of multipaths between the base station and the RIS. Let represent the fading coefficient, time delay coefficient, and Doppler coefficient of the i-th (i = 0, 1, ..., P1-1) path between the g-th transmit antenna of the base station and the f-th reflection element of RIS, respectively.

[0104]

[0105] In the formula, P k,c This represents the total number of multipaths from RIS to the c-th user in the k-th group; Let Π and Δ represent the fading coefficient, delay coefficient, and Doppler coefficient of the f-th reflection unit of the RIS reaching the c-th user in the k-th group via the a-th path, respectively; Π and Δ are in the form of the above.

[0106] Θ represents the phase shift matrix of RIS, which can be expressed as:

[0107]

[0108] Where diag(·) represents a diagonal matrix constructed using its elements. I represents the reflection coefficient of each RIS reflection unit. MN Let θ represent an M×N dimensional identity matrix. f This represents the reflection phase of the f-th reflection unit of the RIS.

[0109] Step 3: Each user performs OTFS demodulation to obtain the information sent by the base station.

[0110] Each group of users will demodulate the time-domain received signal using OTFS, where the demodulated signal of the c-th user in the k-th group is... It can be represented as:

[0111]

[0112] Where F N I represents the conjugate transpose of an N-dimensional Fourier transform matrix; M This represents an M-dimensional identity matrix.

[0113] Then the second user in the kth group directly decodes its own demodulated signal. That is, the second user in the kth group passes Directly perform constellation demapping to obtain the information transmitted to itself by the base station.

[0114] The first user in group k first demodulates the signal. Perform constellation demapping to obtain the information transmitted by the base station to the second user in the k-th group, then from... The information of the second user is subtracted from the first user's information, and then constellation demapping is performed to obtain the information sent to itself by the base station.

[0115] Based on the above scheme, this invention addresses the beamforming vector w of the base station antenna and the power α allocated by the base station to each user. k,c We optimize the solution for three important factors that affect system performance: the RIS phase shift matrix Θ, in order to maximize the system speed.

[0116] Step 4: Determine the user's received signal-to-noise ratio.

MN This represents an M×N dimensional identity matrix, where c is the index, taking the value 1 or 2; α k,1 With α k,2 These represent the power allocation coefficients for the first user and the second user, respectively.

[0125] Ω k,1 (w,Θ), Ω k,2 (w,Θ) can be uniformly represented as:

[0126]

[0127] in,‖·‖ 2 This represents the square of the F norm of a matrix.

[0128] Step 5: Construct an optimization problem with the goal of maximizing system speed.

[0129]

[0130] In the formula, R k,1,min ,R k,2,min Let P represent the minimum channel capacity of the first and second users in the k-th group, respectively. max θ represents the maximum transmission energy of the base station. f R represents the reflection phase of the f-th RIS emitter unit. k,1 R k,2 The channel capacity of the first and second users in the k-th group can be expressed as:

[0131] Rk,1 =log2(1+γ) k,1 )

[0132] R k,2 =log2(1+γ) k,2 )

[0133] Step 6: Decouple the optimization problem into two sub-optimization problems and solve them.

[0134] Since the beamforming vector, RIS phase shift matrix, and power allocation coefficient of the base station are tightly coupled in the original optimization problem, making it difficult to solve, the original problem is decomposed into a joint optimization subproblem of beamforming vector and power allocation, and an optimization subproblem of RIS phase shift matrix.

[0135] When solving the joint optimization subproblem of beamforming and power allocation, the RIS phase shift coefficient is kept constant, and the following definition is made: B k,c =(G k,c ΘH) H (G k,c ΘH), where (·) H Let the conjugate transpose of the matrix be used. Then the joint optimization subproblem of beamforming and power allocation can be reformulated as:

[0136]

[0137] C10:0<α k,1 <1

[0138] C11:Q k ≥0

[0139] C12:Rank(Q k ) = 1

[0140] C13:β k,1 ≥γ k,1,min ,β k,2 ≥γ k,2,min

[0141] In the formula, (·) (e) and(·) (e-1) Let represent the variable values ​​obtained in the e-th and (e-1)-th iterations, respectively; Rank(·) represents the rank of the matrix; Tr(·) represents the trace of the matrix; β k,1 ,β k,2 υ represents the signal-to-noise ratio auxiliary parameter introduced during the solution process for the first and second users in the k-th group; k,1 υ k,2 υ k,3 An auxiliary variable introduced to handle bilinear nonconvex constraints; μ k,1 μ k,2Auxiliary variables introduced to handle fractional constraints; c k,1 c k,2 The intermediate auxiliary variables introduced to tighten the upper bound of the constraints and accelerate the convergence of the algorithm are updated according to the following rules in each iteration;

[0142]

[0143] Γ k,1 (Q) and Γ k,2 (Q) can be uniformly represented as:

[0144]

[0145] Where c equals 1 or 2; γ k,1,min With γ k,2,min Specifically:

[0146]

[0147] We can initially ignore the rank-one constraint in C12; the entire problem is a convex optimization problem, solvable using the CVX toolkit. For this sub-optimization problem, the obtained beamforming vector matrix is ​​a rank-one solution. Therefore, the joint optimization sub-problem of beamforming and power allocation is iterated until the change in system rate is less than ε1, where ε1 is a value defined by the solver based on the required accuracy. After solving this sub-problem, the obtained beamforming vector and power allocation coefficients are fixed, and the RIS phase shift matrix is ​​optimized. The RIS phase shift matrix optimization sub-problem can be expressed as:

[0148]

[0149] C6:V≥0

[0150] C7:Rank(V)=1

[0151] C8:β′ k,1 ≥γ k,1,min ,β′ k,2 ≥γ k,2,min

[0152] Where V = θ H θ, Let β′ represent the equivalent channel matrix from the f-th RIS transmitter unit to the c-th user in the k-th group. k,1 ,β′ k,2 μ′ represents the signal-to-noise ratio auxiliary parameter introduced during the solution process for the first and second users in the k-th group. k,1 , μ′ k,2 Auxiliary variables introduced to handle fractional constraints; c′ k ,c″ k,1 ,c″k,2 The intermediate auxiliary variables introduced to tighten the upper bound of the constraints and accelerate the convergence of the algorithm are updated according to the following rules in each iteration:

[0153]

[0154] In the formula: (·) (e) and(·) (e-1) These represent the variable values ​​obtained in the e-th and (e-1)-th iterations, respectively. Additionally: this part...

[0155]

[0156] We can ignore the rank-one constraint in C10 for now. The whole problem is a convex optimization problem, which can be solved using the CVX toolkit. After the matrix V is obtained through optimization, the corresponding θ can be obtained by Gaussian randomization.

[0157] The two subproblems, beamforming and power allocation joint optimization and RIS phase shift matrix optimization, are iteratively solved until the change in system rate is less than Δ. At this point, the beamforming vector, RIS phase shift coefficient, and power allocation coefficient of the base station are output. The base station configures the transmitting antenna according to the obtained beamforming vector, allocates power to users according to the obtained power allocation coefficient, and configures the phase shift of each reflection unit according to the obtained RIS phase shift coefficient. This achieves a higher system rate and improves the service quality of the base station when serving multi-user communication.

[0158] Example:

[0159] Figure 1 The figure shows the convergence analysis of the joint optimization algorithm for beamforming and power allocation; the simulation results in the figure demonstrate the convergence of the sub-optimization algorithm under different numbers of antennas. It can be seen that the joint optimization algorithm for beamforming and power allocation proposed in this invention can achieve fast convergence under different numbers of transmit antennas.

The simulation results in the figure demonstrate the convergence of the sub-optimization algorithm under different numbers of RIS reflection units. It can be seen that the optimization algorithm proposed in this invention can converge quickly under different numbers of RIS reflection units.
