Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of visible light communication, and more specifically to a method and apparatus for reducing the peak-to-average power ratio of a micro LED optical communication system. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing demand for data communication, traditional RF (radio frequency) communication technology can no longer meet the requirements of high-speed, high-capacity transmission. Visible light communication (VLC), as an emerging data transmission method, utilizes LED light-emitting devices to transmit data. Due to its abundant spectrum resources, low cost, and immunity to electromagnetic interference, it has become a strong candidate to overcome the limitations of traditional communication. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has become the mainstream modulation technology in VLC systems due to its high data transmission rate and resistance to multipath interference. However, the high PAPR (parallel amplitude resonant frequency) problem of OFDM technology widely used in VLC systems can lead to nonlinear distortion of LEDs, thus affecting the efficiency and signal quality of the entire system.

[0003] Currently, various techniques have been proposed to reduce PAPR in OFDM systems, such as peak clipping and filtering, selective signal mapping (SLM), and partial transmission sequence (PTS). However, these techniques all increase system complexity or sacrifice some data transmission efficiency. In VLC environments, due to the inherent characteristics of their chip structure and materials, LEDs exhibit significant nonlinear characteristics under large-signal driving, especially under high-power driving, where this nonlinearity becomes more pronounced. Peak clipping reduces PAPR by directly reducing the peak signal, but in VLC systems using micro-LEDs as the light source, this method further exacerbates the nonlinear distortion of the optical signal because the high-frequency components generated after peak clipping are amplified by the nonlinearity of the micro-LEDs. Selective signal mapping (SLM) and partial transmission sequence (PTS) reduce PAPR by performing multiple transformations on the input signal to select the signal with the lowest PAPR for transmission, but their implementation requires complex signal processing circuits at both the receiver and transmitter, leading to increased system cost and power consumption.

[0004] In wireless communication, transmitters need to handle long-distance transmission, making the efficiency of power amplifiers particularly important. Excessively high PAPR (Power Amplifier Ratio) leads to a reduction in the power amplifier's output power, thus affecting communication quality and coverage. Reducing PAPR is achieved by pre-distorting the signal at the transmitting end. In the VLC (Video Communication Center) field, since LED-VLC is primarily used for short-range communication, PAPR reduction techniques directly impact the LED's operational stability and also affect the efficiency of the communication system. Therefore, it is mainly achieved by limiting the modulation amplitude of high-peak signals to keep the LED operating within a reasonable linear range.

[0005] Furthermore, the application of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology in VLC systems allows for the simultaneous transmission of multiple signals to increase transmission rate and channel capacity, which further exacerbates the PAPR problem. This is because in MIMO-OFDM systems, the superposition of multiple signals can lead to higher peak power, thus increasing the severity of the PAPR problem.

[0006] Existing PAPR reduction technologies face the dual challenges of complexity and processing efficiency when dealing with complex MIMO-OFDM systems. In actual deployment, these technologies often require special hardware designs, such as adding linearization processing modules, which not only increases costs but also reduces the system's processing efficiency.

[0007] VLC systems based on micro-LEDs are considered an effective way to improve VLC system performance due to their faster modulation speed. However, compared to traditional LED light sources, micro-LEDs have a higher emission bandwidth, which enables them to support higher data transmission rates and are suitable for higher-order modulation schemes (such as QAM-OFDM). This high emission bandwidth allows micro-LEDs to transmit signals over a wider frequency range, making high-frequency components of the signal more susceptible to LED nonlinear effects. When the PAPR of the input signal is high, the instantaneous peak power of the signal may exceed the linear operating range of the micro-LED, leading to signal distortion, which is particularly significant in high-frequency components. This places higher demands on existing PAPR reduction techniques. Summary of the Invention

[0059] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Apparently, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0060] Figure 1 A method for reducing the peak-to-average power ratio of a micro-LED optical communication system provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown, including the following steps:

[0061] S1. Obtain the modulation data of the first user and the modulation data of the second user at the transmitting end of the VLC system, and perform precoding on the modulation data of the first user and the modulation data of the second user through a precoding matrix respectively to obtain the precoded output signal of the first user and the precoded output signal of the second user.

[0062] In a specific embodiment, the order of the precoding matrix is R*N, expressed as:

[0063]

[0064] Among them, PM represents the precoding matrix, and the elements of the precoding matrix are defined as:

[0065]

[0066] Among them, N is the number of subcarriers of the baseband modulation data, Np is the null carrier, 0 < N p < N, R = N + Np, m ∈ {0, 1, 2,..., R - 1}, and k ∈ {0, 1, 2,..., N - 1}, j is an imaginary number, P m,k represents the element in the (m - 1)-th row and the (k - 1)-th column of the precoding matrix, P m,0 represents the element in the (m - 1)-th row and the 1st column of the precoding matrix, expressed as:

[0067]

[0068] In a specific embodiment, the modulation data of the first user and the modulation data of the second user are precoded by a precoding matrix respectively, and the precoded output signals of the first user and the second user are obtained respectively, which specifically includes:

[0069] Y1 = PM * X1;

[0070] Y2 = PM * X2;

[0071] Where, PM represents the precoding matrix, X1 represents the modulation data of the first user, X2 represents the modulation data of the second user, Y1 represents the precoded output signal of the first user, and Y2 represents the precoded output signal of the second user.

[0072] Specifically, the embodiment of the present application is used for a high-speed VLC system of micro LEDs, and specifically combines precoding and companding techniques. The system architecture is as Figure 2 shown, including a transmitting end and a receiving end. As Figure 3 shown, at the transmitting end, assume that X1 and X2 respectively represent the modulation data of the first user (U1) and the second user (U2). The modulation data of the first user and the second user are respectively preprocessed in the frequency domain by a precoding matrix PM, and thus the precoded output signals of the first user and the second user are obtained. In the precoding matrix PM, Np is the null carrier used to reduce adjacent channel interference, and the value of m is 0 ≤ m < N p , corresponding to the null carrier part, the weight is determined by a sine function; the value of m is N p ≤ m < N p + N, corresponding to the valid data subcarrier part; the value of m is N p + N ≤ m < R - 1, corresponding to the high-frequency part of the carrier, and a cosine function is used to determine. Through the linear transformation of precoding, the peak power of the signal can be effectively reduced.

[0073] S2. Based on the power allocation factor and the total power of the precoded output signal of the first user and the precoded output signal of the second user, the precoded output signal of the first user and the precoded output signal of the second user are combined and calculated to obtain a precoded frequency-domain signal.

[0074] In a specific embodiment, the precoded frequency-domain signal is expressed as:

[0075]

[0076] Where, S p is the precoded frequency-domain signal, α is the power allocation factor, Y1 represents the precoded output signal of the first user, Y2 represents the precoded output signal of the second user, P tot is the total power of Y1 and Y2, and S p is composed of N subcarriers and is expressed as:

[0077] S p = [S0, S1, S2, …, S N-1 T ;

[0078] where, S N-1 represents the Nth sub - carrier in the precoded frequency - domain signal;

[0079] The extended signal is expressed as: S HS = [S0, …, S N , …, S 2N-i , …, S 2N-1 T ;

[0080] where, S i represents the (i + 1)th sub - carrier in the extended signal, S 2N-K is the complex conjugate of S i .

[0081] Specifically, considering the power allocation of different user signals, the precoded output signals of the first user and the second user are combined and calculated. During the calculation process, it is necessary to ensure that the transmission power meets the system limit, so the total power of Y1 and Y2 is used.

[0082] S3, the precoded frequency - domain signal is extended to an extended frequency - domain signal with Hermitian symmetry, and the inverse fast Fourier transform is performed on the extended frequency - domain signal to obtain the precoded time - domain signal.

[0083] In a specific embodiment, the precoded time - domain signal is expressed as:

[0084]

[0085] where, Y(n) represents the precoded time - domain signal, S i represents the (i + 1)th sub - carrier in the extended signal, N is the number of sub - carriers of the base - band modulated data, Np is the null carrier, 0 < N p < N, R = N + Np, n represents the discrete - time sampling point of the precoded time - domain signal.

[0086] Specifically, to meet the requirement of outputting a real - valued time - domain signal in visible - light communication of micro - LEDs, the precoded frequency - domain signal S p is extended to an extended signal S HS with Hermitian symmetry. The extended signal S HS generated by Hermitian - symmetry transformation (HS) is the precoded frequency - domain signal S p ​​Twice the length. To adapt to the unipolar optical signal transmission of micro LEDs, a DC bias (DCO-bias) and clipping are required. Therefore, the extended signal is subjected to an inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) to generate a real-valued precoded time-domain signal Y(n), and a DC bias is applied to ensure that the signal is suitable for transmission of micro LED light sources.

[0087] S4 performs μ-law compression on the precoded time-domain signal to obtain a compressed signal, and calculates the peak-to-average power ratio based on the compressed signal.

[0088] In a specific embodiment, the compressed signal is represented as:

[0089]

[0090] Among them, S proposed (n) represents the compressed signal, μ represents the compression control factor, ranging from 0 to 255, v represents the maximum amplitude, and sgn(Y(n)) represents the sign function of Y(n);

[0091] The peak-to-average power ratio is expressed as:

[0092]

[0093] Among them, |S proposed (n) max | 2 E|S represents the peak power of the compressed signal. proposed (n)| 2 This represents the average power of the peak signal.

[0094] Specifically, the precoded time-domain signal Y(n) is subjected to μ-law compression to obtain a compressed signal. The PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio) of the time-domain signal is related to the ratio of the blocked power to the average power of the compressed signal. μ-law compression is applied to the precoded time-domain signal to further suppress instantaneous power peaks. This nonlinear compression operation effectively reduces PAPR while preserving the signal's phase information. Through signal precoding and amplitude compression, the peak power of the signal is reduced. The compressed signal is emitted through a miniature LED light source to achieve wireless transmission of the optical signal. During transmission, high-frequency components of the signal are appropriately suppressed to mitigate the nonlinear distortion of the miniature LED.

[0095] At the receiving end of a NOMA network, the base station (BS) receives the signal transmitted by each user. The received signal is represented as follows:

[0096]

[0097] Where L represents the total number of users, h(g) is the channel coefficient of the g-th user, and P totThis represents the total power used, and ε is Gaussian white noise with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of σ, denoted as ε~N(0,δ).

[0098] like Figure 4 As shown, the receiver receives the optical signal transmitted from the transmitter through a photodetector. After converting the optical signal into an electrical signal, it sequentially performs μ-law inverse compression to restore the dynamic range and removes the cyclic prefix to eliminate the empty carrier portion. The decompression formula is as follows:

[0099]

[0100] Among them, S recv (n) represents the received electrical signal, and μ is the compression control factor consistent with that of the transmitter.

[0101] The time-domain signal is then converted to a frequency-domain signal using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), and a precoding removal operation is performed on the frequency-domain signal to recover the original modulated signal. This is achieved using the inverse matrix PM. -1 The signal is decoded to recover the independent signal for each user. This decoding process ensures the integrity of the user signal and reduces the impact of multi-user interference.

[0102] In multi-user scenarios, the receiver uses serial interference cancellation (SIC) to decode the signal of each user step by step, and finally restores the data by demodulation, thereby realizing the separation and restoration of multi-user signals.

[0103] The method for reducing the peak-to-average power ratio (P / A ratio) of a micro-LED optical communication system proposed in the embodiments of this application is compared with other methods for reducing P / A ratio in terms of overall complexity. The comparison results are shown in Table 1, where U: number of candidate signals, optimization parameter in SLM; V: number of phase rotation combinations, optimization parameter in PTS; N: number of subcarriers, affecting the complexity of all methods; O(x): complexity representation. It can be seen that the method for reducing the P / A ratio of a micro-LED optical communication system proposed in the embodiments of this application can effectively reduce the system complexity.
