Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of dual-functional radar communication, and particularly relates to an optimization method for the position of a fluid antenna and a radar communication precoding matrix in a URLLC scenario. Background Art
[0002] In the future intelligent process, wireless communication technology is positioned as the core support for innovative fields such as industrial Internet of Things, intelligent transportation, remote medical treatment, and environmental monitoring, to promote the deep integration of communication, sensing, computing, and decision-making capabilities. In this context, both the academic and industrial circles believe that future wireless systems need to break through the traditional functional boundaries and achieve the coexistence and symbiosis of sensing and communication. In response to this demand, Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC) has emerged and quickly become a key research direction for 6G and the next-generation communication networks. The core idea of ISAC is to deeply integrate radar environmental sensing and wireless data transmission through unified signal design and hardware architecture, reuse spectrum resources and device hardware, thereby significantly improving spectrum utilization, reducing deployment energy consumption and hardware costs, and at the same time achieving two-way enhancement of sensing and communication functions. For example, optimizing the communication link resource allocation through sensing information, or using communication signals to assist high-precision target positioning and environmental modeling.
[0003] In recent years, the exploration of ISAC technology has continuously become a hot topic in the field of wireless communication and sensing integration. However, existing research mostly focuses on improving spectrum efficiency and sensing accuracy, and there is little work on deeply analyzing the strict constraints on ISAC systems in the ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) scenario. In traditional ISAC designs, the coordination of sensing and communication functions often assumes a static or quasi-static environment, making it difficult to meet the high dynamics, extremely low latency, and ultra-high reliability requirements of URLLC. Especially in scenarios such as industrial automation and emergency obstacle avoidance in vehicle-to-everything (V2X), the real-time nature of sensing data and the robustness of communication links are highly coupled. If the communication latency or interruption causes the sensing information update to lag, it may directly trigger system-level security risks.
[0004] As a core technology to support mission-critical applications, URLLC guarantees service quality through mechanisms such as short-frame transmission, resource reservation, and reliable channel coding. However, its strict latency and reliability constraints pose new challenges to the deep integration of sensing functions. For example, how to design waveforms to balance sensing resolution and communication bit error rate. Solving this problem urgently requires breaking through the traditional ISAC framework and constructing a cross-layer optimization theory for URLLC.
[0005] On the other hand, the evolution of ISAC technology has also continuously driven the wireless network towards multi-functional integration, and the rise of Fluid Antennas (FAs) has injected new transformative potential into this field. By dynamically adjusting the antenna morphology, position, or polarization characteristics, fluid antennas can flexibly adapt to complex electromagnetic environments, significantly enhancing the channel degrees of freedom and interference management capabilities. However, existing ISAC research is mostly based on fixed antenna architectures, making it difficult to address performance degradation problems caused by spatial correlation, multipath fading, and burst interference in high-mobility scenarios (such as high-speed vehicle-to-everything (V2X) networks and drone swarms) or dense deployment environments (such as industrial Internet of Things). Especially in URLLC-enabled ISAC systems, due to limited degrees of freedom, traditional fixed antennas are difficult to synchronously optimize the beamforming of sensing waveforms and communication signals under extremely low latency constraints, resulting in a decrease in sensing resolution or communication reliability that cannot meet the stringent QoS requirements. It is worth noting that the deep coupling of fluid antennas with NOMA and URLLC still faces many challenges, such as the co-design of dynamic antenna parameters and ISAC waveforms, the fast feedback mechanism of channel state information (CSI) under ultra-low latency constraints, and the suppression of mutual coupling effects of fluid antennas in high-density deployment scenarios. Solving these problems requires constructing an interdisciplinary theoretical framework that integrates electromagnetics, information theory, and optimization algorithms to unleash the full-dimensional potential of fluid antennas in the next-generation intelligent ISAC system.
[0006] In view of this, it is necessary to provide an optimization method for the position of fluid antennas and the radar communication precoding matrix in the URLLC scenario to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
