The terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing the embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application.
[0039] In order to meet the demand for higher-speed wireless communication and higher-precision wireless perception brought about by the surge in the number of IoT devices in the upcoming sixth-generation wireless networks, the current trend of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology is to equip base stations and wireless terminals with more antennas. In related technologies, more antennas than existing large-scale MIMO are usually deployed on base stations (i.e., ultra-large-scale MIMO), which can significantly improve the spatial degrees of freedom, thereby enhancing the communication and perception performance of wireless systems.
[0040] However, since wireless signals may experience random depolarization due to scattering and other environmental factors when propagating in wireless channels, this fixed large-scale antenna array cannot fully align all signal components, causing serious signal attenuation and resulting in low data transmission reliability of wireless signals.
[0041] In order to improve the reliability of data transmission of wireless signals, the embodiment of the present application realizes the fine joint control of the amplitude and phase of the polarization signal by setting a splitter, a dual-path independently controllable attenuator and a phase shifter collaborative architecture in the intelligent polarization shaping antenna, which can effectively solve the signal attenuation problem caused by polarization mismatch in the traditional large-scale MIMO system, and radiate the dynamically adjusted polarization processing signal through the orthogonally arranged dual-polarization units, so that the subsequent communication system equipped with the intelligent polarization shaping antenna can compensate for the random depolarization effect in the wireless channel in real time, thereby significantly improving the polarization matching accuracy without increasing the number of antennas, so as to improve the reliability of wireless signal transmission; in addition, the structure breaks through the limitation of the traditional polarization reconstruction antenna that only adjusts the amplitude, and fully taps the potential of polarization diversity through phase-amplitude collaborative control, so that the base station equipped with the intelligent polarization shaping antenna can adaptively track the spatial orientation changes of the terminal device, maintain a stable polarization alignment state in a complex propagation environment, thereby enhancing the signal transmission reliability in the multi-terminal scenario, and providing better communication quality assurance for high-density Internet of Things devices, while improving the channel space utilization through dynamic optimization of the polarization state.
[0042] The following will further describe the intelligent polarization shaping antenna, communication system, positioning method, communication parameter optimization method and related equipment proposed in the embodiments of the present application. First, an intelligent polarization shaping antenna is described, referring to Figure 1 , is a schematic diagram of the structure of a communication system equipped with an intelligent polarization shaping antenna provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the overall architecture of a communication system equipped with an intelligent polarization shaping antenna is demonstrated. The communication system includes a base station and multiple terminals, wherein the base station is provided with multiple antenna surfaces, and each antenna surface is provided with multiple intelligent polarization shaping antennas; in addition, the terminal is also provided with an intelligent polarization shaping antenna accordingly, so that the terminal and the base station can perform better two-way communication through the intelligent polarization shaping antenna.
[0043] The intelligent polarforming antenna (IPA). This is a new antenna structure that improves wireless sensing and communication performance without increasing the number of antennas and incurring additional costs and energy consumption. Specifically, the intelligent polarforming antenna controls the polarization state of each antenna at the transmitting and / or receiving end by adjusting the polarization shaping vector with adjustable signal amplitude and phase, thereby using polarization diversity to achieve dynamic adjustment of antenna polarization to cope with real-time channel conditions and depolarization effects. This process is achieved through an electronically adjustable polarization former, which integrates a phase shifter and attenuator to collaboratively adjust the phase and amplitude of the transmit / receive signal (see Figure 1). In addition, each IPA can be independently adjusted in position and / or rotation to adapt to the spatial distribution of channels. This can be achieved through mechanical control, that is, physical movement through actuators such as motors and precision gears, as well as external mechanical structures.
[0044] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown in , each smart polarization shaping antenna is provided with a digital signal processor, a radio frequency chain and a polarization shaper connected in sequence. When the smart polarization shaping antenna needs to send a processed signal of a device (such as a base station or a terminal device), the digital signal processor is used to perform corresponding digital signal processing on the processed signal, and then send the processed signal after digital signal processing to the radio frequency chain. The radio frequency chain then performs radio frequency processing on the processed signal, and sends the processed signal after radio frequency processing to the polarization shaper for polarization processing, and then sends the processed signal after polarization processing. Correspondingly, when the smart polarization shaping antenna needs to receive a processed signal, the polarization shaper receives the processed signal for polarization processing, and then transmits the processed signal after polarization processing to the radio frequency chain for corresponding radio frequency processing, and then transmits the processed signal after radio frequency processing to the digital signal processor for corresponding digital signal processing, and then transmits the processed signal back to the device (such as a base station or a terminal device).
[0045] like Figure 1 As shown in, the polarization shaper includes a splitter, a first attenuator, a second attenuator, a first phase shifter, a second phase shifter, a first polarization unit and a second polarization unit; wherein the splitter is connected to the first attenuator and the second attenuator, the first attenuator is connected to the first phase shifter, the second attenuator is connected to the second phase shifter, the first phase shifter is connected to the first polarization unit, and the second phase shifter is connected to the second polarization unit. When the antenna receives the processed signal, the splitter is used to split the processed signal to obtain a first processed signal and a second processed signal, and send the first processed signal to the first attenuator, and send the second processed signal to the second attenuator; the first attenuator is used to perform a first amplitude processing on the first processed signal to obtain a first amplitude processed signal, and send the first amplitude processed signal to the first phase shifter, the second attenuator is used to perform a second amplitude processing on the second processed signal to obtain a second amplitude processed signal, and send the second amplitude processed signal to the second phase shifter; the first phase shifter is used to perform a first phase shift processing on the first amplitude processed signal, and then send the first phase shift processed signal to the first polarization unit, the first polarization unit is used to send the first phase shift processed signal, the second phase shifter is used to perform a second phase shift processing on the second amplitude processed signal, and then send the second phase shift processed signal to the second polarization unit, the second polarization unit is used to send the second phase shift processed signal, and the polarization directions of the first phase shift processed signal and the second phase shift processed signal are perpendicular to each other.
[0046] Therefore, by setting a splitter, a dual-path independently controllable attenuator and a phase shifter collaborative architecture in the intelligent polarization shaping antenna, the refined joint control of the amplitude and phase of the polarization signal is realized, which can effectively solve the signal attenuation problem caused by polarization mismatch in traditional large-scale MIMO systems, and radiate the dynamically adjusted polarization processing signal through orthogonally arranged dual-polarization units, so that the subsequent communication system equipped with the intelligent polarization shaping antenna can compensate for the random depolarization effect in the wireless channel in real time, thereby significantly improving the polarization matching accuracy without increasing the number of antennas, so as to improve the reliability of wireless signal transmission; in addition, the structure breaks through the limitation of the traditional polarization reconstruction antenna that only adjusts the amplitude, and fully explores the potential of polarization diversity through phase-amplitude collaborative control, so that the base station equipped with the intelligent polarization shaping antenna can adaptively track the spatial orientation changes of the terminal equipment, maintain a stable polarization alignment state in a complex propagation environment, thereby enhancing the signal transmission reliability in multi-terminal scenarios, providing better communication quality assurance for high-density Internet of Things devices, and improving the channel space utilization through dynamic optimization of the polarization state.
[0047] Reference Figure 3 , is a performance comparison diagram of a smart polarization shaping antenna provided in an embodiment of the present application and existing antenna technology. Figure 3 As shown, the intelligent polarization shaping antenna is significantly different from the existing six-dimensional mobile antenna and the traditional polarizable reconfigurable antenna. First, the six-dimensional mobile antenna is composed of multiple antennas / subarrays with three-dimensional rotatable and movable positions, which are mechanically controlled, but the six-dimensional mobile antenna either lacks antenna polarization control or is designed under fixed polarization conditions. Second, although traditional polarizable reconfigurable antennas are able to adjust antenna polarization, they only adjust the amplitude of the signal, but cannot adjust the signal phase, and fail to fully utilize polarization diversity. In addition, the polarizable reconfigurable antenna with fixed antenna position / rotation cannot obtain additional spatial degrees of freedom through antenna movement. In contrast, the IPA with polarization shaping function aims to simultaneously adjust the amplitude and phase of the polarized signal to fully exploit the advantages of polarization diversity, while adjusting the position / rotation of the antenna to fully utilize the spatial degrees of freedom.
[0048] First, explain the symbols that appear below: , , as well as denote conjugate, inverse, conjugate transpose, and transpose operations respectively; It means to find the expectation of a random variable; express The identity matrix of ; a⋅b represents the dot product of vector a and vector b; and ∘ denote the Kronecker product and Khatri-Rao product, respectively; , as well as They represent the Euclidean norm, Frobenius norm and infinite norm of a complex vector respectively; Representation vector The j-th element of .
[0049] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, each intelligent polarization shaping antenna can independently apply a certain phase offset (through the phase shifter included in the polarization shaper) and amplitude change (through the attenuator included in the polarization shaper) to the corresponding processed signal for transmission / reception, thereby adjusting the polarization state of the antenna. The phase shifter and attenuator in the polarization shaper achieve precise polarization control by independently adjusting the phase and amplitude of the signal. In this way, the IPA can make full use of polarization diversity by using polarization shaping, and adaptively control the polarization of the antenna so that the polarization between the transmitting and receiving antennas remains consistent. We assume that each transmitting / receiving antenna consists of two orthogonally arranged linear polarization units, one of which is used for vertical polarization ( element), and another polarization unit for horizontal polarization ( Specifically, each terminal Each is equipped with a single intelligent polarization shaping antenna, and its receiving polarization shaping vector is shown in the following formula (1).
[0050]
[0051] Among them, the terminal corresponds to the first polarization unit in the intelligent polarization shaping antenna (i.e. element) and the second polarization unit (i.e. ) have amplitude coefficients of and In addition, the terminal Components and The phase shifts of the components are and .
[0052] The base station has B antenna surfaces (i.e., intelligent polarization antenna (IPA) subarrays), denoted as Each IPA subarray consists of N (≥1) IPAs, denoted as Therefore, the total number of transmitting antennas in the base station is BN. Each IPA subarray is a uniform planar array with a fixed size. All antennas in the same base station subarray have the same polarization characteristics determined by the propagation environment, so their polarization can be controlled by the same polarization shaping vector. The transmit polarization shaping vector of an IPA sub-array is expressed as shown in the following formula (2).

[0054] in, and Respectively represent Each corresponding antenna in the transmit IPA subarray Components and The amplitude coefficient of the element. Similarly, and Respectively represent The antennas in the transmitting IPA subarray Components and The phase offset of the element. The phase and amplitude of the polarization shaping vector can be controlled continuously or discretely. For ease of implementation, discrete control of amplitude and phase offset is adopted in this embodiment. and Respectively represent the polarization shaping amplitude and phase offset control bits of each smart polarization shaping antenna. Therefore, the receiving polarization shaping vector and the transmitting polarization shaping vector are expressed as .

Note that when hour, Degenerates to the case of no attenuation, that is .
[0056] Each IPA can be rotated and / or repositioned within a given space. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the IPA of each terminal can be rotated while maintaining a fixed position. This can be achieved through actuators or auxiliary components (such as rotary motors) or through manual adjustment to achieve physical movement. In contrast, all antennas in each IPA subarray in the base station can be moved in a convex 3D space given by the base station. This process is achieved by connecting the subarrays to the central processing unit of the base station through movable rotating rods with flexible wires, allowing the central processing unit to precisely control their three-dimensional position and rotation angle, thus achieving mechanical control.
[0057] In order to facilitate the description of the movement of the terminal / base station antenna, the present embodiment establishes three Cartesian coordinate systems. Figure 2 , is a schematic diagram of the geometric position of an intelligent polarization shaping antenna provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0066] Based on the above, the following is a mathematical modeling of the signal model in the communication system equipped with the smart polarization shaping antenna.
[0067] For ease of explanation, in the embodiments of the present application, it is assumed that the channel between the base station and each terminal is a far-field line-of-sight link channel. In addition, the position of the terminal changes slowly, and it can be considered that it remains approximately unchanged during the coherence time of each position, while their rotation (orientation) may change arbitrarily during this period.

[0085] Therefore, the The terminal and the base station The dual-polarization response matrix between the dual-polarization antennas on the IPA sub-array is expressed as the following formula (15).
[0086]
[0087] Then, by receiving the polarization shaping vector and the transmit polarization shaping vector Introducing the polarization effect for each antenna, we can get The expression of the IPA polarization shaping channel is shown in the following formula (16).
[0088] (16) Next, in an embodiment of the present application, a communication-aware integrated communication system based on intelligent polarization shaping antenna (IPA) enhancement is studied, which utilizes terminal position awareness to facilitate communication between terminals equipped with IPA and base stations equipped with IPA. In this embodiment, a new type of actual channel setting is considered, that is, the position of the terminal is basically static, but the orientation of the terminal may change frequently. This channel setting is applicable to many scenarios, such as when spectators in a stadium watch a football game, their smartphones are fixed in position but often rotated to take pictures in different directions. Another example is a terminal that plays a virtual reality (VR) game in a fixed position, and their VR devices rotate frequently to enhance the gaming experience. In this scenario, a dual-time-scale transmission protocol for an IPA-enhanced wireless communication and perception system is proposed.
[0089] Reference Figure 4 , is a schematic diagram of a wireless communication and sensing protocol of a communication system provided with a smart polarization shaping antenna provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown in , the protocol consists of two phases, namely a slow time scale phase and a fast time scale phase.
[0090] In the first phase (slow time scale phase): In this initial phase, the terminal position is first sensed, and then the position and rotation of the base station antenna are determined based on the sensed terminal position. Figure 5 , is a schematic diagram of pilot polarization time structured in a coherent time domain provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 As shown in , the base station receives multiple pilot signals from the terminal device, which are shaped by the terminal polarization vector that varies with time. The transmission is performed to achieve the terminal positioning based on polarization shaping. Subsequently, based on the perceived terminal position, the antenna position and rotation of all IPAs in the base station are optimized to maximize the average achievable rate of the terminal. The optimized antenna position and rotation will be implemented on the base station and remain unchanged during the second phase of each positioning coherence time.
[0091] Step 2 (fast time scale phase): The remaining time of each localization coherence time is given by The first phase consists of channel coherence intervals. During each channel coherence interval, the rotation of the terminal (or the resulting channel) remains unchanged. During each channel coherence interval, the transmit and receive polarization shaping vectors are determined jointly based on the instantaneous terminal rotation / channel to maximize the achievable rate for all terminals. The terminal position sensed in the first phase helps to more efficiently obtain the instantaneous channel information within each channel coherence interval, because the terminal position remains unchanged and only the terminal orientation changes during different channel coherence times.
[0092] Based on the communication system modeled above, the terminal positioning method of the communication system provided in the embodiment of the present application will be further described below.

The position training duration is recorded as ,in , Indicates the number of time slots in each pilot signal block. Each terminal sends a known pilot signal to the base station , and in The pilot signal is repeated within a block. The structured pilot-polarization shaping pattern is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the terminal polarization shaping vector of the terminal to be located is In the Block The t_slot remains constant within each time slot and varies between blocks.

To apply the multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm, we first construct the sample covariance matrix based on the channel estimate. The matrices are stacked into a large matrix, i.e. a non-polarized channel matrix. .
[0125] Through the above steps 701 to 705, by generating the side slice matrix and the front slice matrix, combining the pilot signal and the non-polarized channel parameters, and using mathematical methods such as the Cattery-Rao product, the complex value matrix and the non-polarized channel matrix can be effectively estimated. The acquisition of these key parameters provides the basis for the subsequent determination of the arrival direction and distance of the terminal. Finally, through the difference minimization processing, the accuracy of parameter estimation can be improved, thereby achieving more accurate terminal positioning. This positioning method based on intelligent polarization adjustable antenna can greatly improve the positioning performance and service quality of the communication system, and is of great value in high-density Internet of Things applications such as 6G.

These eigenvectors contain the direction information of the signal; then, the steering vector parameters are calculated in combination with the antenna position, rotation angle and other parameters. The direction of arrival function can be obtained by multiplying the steering vector parameters with the eigenvector and performing the inverse processing; finally, the direction of arrival function is optimized to obtain the final direction of arrival vector. This method based on the characteristic analysis of the channel covariance matrix can effectively estimate the direction of arrival of the terminal and provide key parameters for subsequent precise positioning. This direction of arrival estimation technology based on intelligent polarization adjustable antennas can greatly improve the positioning accuracy and robustness of the communication system, and has important application value in application scenarios such as high-density Internet of Things and autonomous driving.
[0144] Step 604: Determine the effective antenna gain corresponding to the antenna rotation angle, and obtain a non-polarization shaped channel model between the terminal and the base station based on the effective antenna gain, the antenna position and the antenna rotation angle.
[0145] Step 604 is described in detail below.
[0146] Next, based on the effective antenna gain formula shown in formula (9) above, it can be determined that at the current antenna rotation angle The corresponding effective antenna gain Then, the non-polarized line-of-sight link channel formula corresponding to the above formula (10) is further used to calculate the effective antenna gain. , Antenna location and antenna rotation angle , we get the non-polarized shaped channel model between the terminal and the base station .

The following will further describe how to estimate the distance between the terminal to be located and the base station.
[0150] Reference Fig. 9 , perform distance estimation based on the non-polarization shaped channel model and the effective antenna gain to obtain the estimated distance between the terminal to be located and the base station, and follow the steps 901 to 903.
[0151] Step 901: A distance numerator parameter is obtained by multiplying the product of the number of antennas and the unit channel power by the accumulated value of the effective antenna gain.
[0152] Step 902: Accumulate the products of all non-polarization shaped channel models and effective antenna gains to obtain a distance denominator parameter.
[0153] Step 903: Obtain an estimated distance based on the ratio of the distance numerator parameter to the distance denominator parameter.
[0154] Steps 901 to 903 are described in detail below.
[0155] In some embodiments, after obtaining the non-polarization shaped channel model Then, the non-polarization shaped channel model is By performing modulo processing, we can obtain the channel amplitude observed in the line-of-sight link channel estimation , and then use all The observed channel amplitude in the line-of-sight link channel estimation And the geometric relationship between the terminal to be located and the base station, which represents the two-norm , we can further construct the following least squares-based method to estimate the distance The estimation of is shown in the following formula (28).

[0164] Step 1001: In a coherent time period, based on a terminal positioning method of a communication system, obtain terminal distances between multiple terminals and a base station.
[0165] The following is a detailed description of step 1001.
[0166] In some embodiments, Figure 4 In the protocol design shown, at the beginning of the coherent time period, the terminal positioning method of the communication system mentioned above is used to determine the terminal distance between each terminal that needs to optimize the communication parameters and the base station. .

[0172] Reference Fig.11 , generating a communication parameter optimization model based on the achievable transmission rate model, including the following steps 1101 to 1104.
[0173] Step 1101: The maximum achievable transmission rate model is used as the rate optimization objective function.
[0174] Step 1102: The antenna position parameters, antenna rotation angle parameters, base station polarization shaping vector parameters, precoding vector parameters of the base station and the terminal polarization shaping vector parameters of each terminal are used as rate optimization variables.
[0175] Step 1103: Generate rate constraints based on the variable optional domain of the rate optimization variable, the position distance constraint between the antenna position parameters, the signal non-reflection constraint of the antenna position parameters and the antenna rotation angle parameters, and the non-forward center constraint.
[0176] Step 1104: Generate a communication parameter optimization model based on the optimization objective function, rate optimization variables, and rate constraints.
[0177] Steps 1101 to 1104 are described in detail below.
[0178] In some embodiments, according to Figure 4 The dual time scale protocol shown in the figure aims to jointly optimize the antenna positions on the base station side in the slow time scale. and antenna rotation angle , and jointly optimize the transmit polarization shaping vector at the base station side on a fast time scale With the precoding vector And the polarization shaping vector on the terminal side , thereby maximizing the weighted total rate of all terminals. That is, using the maximum achievable transmission rate model (30) as the rate optimization objective function, based on the antenna position parameters of the base station , Antenna rotation angle parameters , Base station polarization shaping vector parameters , precoding vector parameters And the terminal polarization shaping vector parameters of each terminal As rate-optimized variables; optional fields based on rate-optimized variables , , , the position distance constraints between antenna position parameters , antenna position parameters and antenna rotation angle parameters signal non-reflection constraints , non-positive center constraint , generating rate constraints. Thus, the corresponding communication parameter optimization model is generated by using the above rate optimization objective function, rate optimization variables and rate constraints as shown in the following formula (31).
[0179]
[0180] in Indicates terminal The rate weights are, ζ represents the total transmit power of the base station, and the expected value is taken from the random channel changes caused by arbitrary terminal rotation. The first two constraints ensure that the receive and transmit polarization shaping vectors meet the discrete amplitude and phase requirements. The fourth constraint ensures that the center of each IPA subarray is located in the convex three-dimensional space of the base station. The fifth constraint enforces the minimum distance Overlap and coupling between IPA subarrays are prevented; the sixth constraint is used to alleviate mutual signal reflections between base station antennas, and the seventh constraint prevents the front of each IPA subarray from facing the base station center of the base station, as that may cause signal blocking.
[0181] Through the above steps 1101 to 1104, by constructing an optimization function with the goal of maximizing the achievable transmission rate, and comprehensively considering various communication parameters such as antenna position, rotation angle, polarization shaping vector and precoding vector as optimization variables, and introducing actual physical limitations such as position distance constraints, signal non-reflection constraints and non-forward center constraints, a comprehensive communication parameter optimization model is finally generated. This model can more effectively coordinate and optimize various communication parameters, thereby maximizing the system transmission rate and improving wireless communication performance while meeting actual constraints.
[0182] Step 1003: Decompose the communication parameter optimization model based on the slow time scale and the fast time scale to obtain a position rotation optimization model and a polarization shaping optimization model.
[0183] The following is a detailed description of step 1003.
[0184] Next, according to Figure 4 The dual time scale protocol shown in the figure decomposes the communication parameter optimization model (31) based on the slow time scale and the fast time scale to obtain a position rotation optimization model for optimizing the antenna position and the antenna rotation angle, and a polarization shaping model for the base station. , precoding And the polarization shaping of the terminal The optimized polarization shaping optimization model is described in detail as follows.
[0185] For fast time scale optimization, in each channel coherence interval, the base station first estimates the instantaneous channel of all terminals, which is the channel for all possible terminal polarization shaping vector parameters and base station polarization shaping vector parameters The antenna position parameters are estimated , Antenna rotation angle parameters and the terminal position remain fixed. Then, the base station determines its transmit polarization shaping vector , precoding vector And the terminal polarization shaping vector parameters In order to facilitate the polarization shaping vector and Each element in is updated in parallel and element by element, thereby simplifying their optimization process. In the embodiment of the present application, auxiliary variables are introduced and Therefore, for fast time scales, there is a polarization shaping optimization model as shown in the following formula (32).

[0187] The mean square error term By combining the weighted minimum mean square error (WMMSE) method, is the equilibrium parameter, Indicates terminal The weighting factor of .
[0188] For the optimization of slow time scale, the antenna position parameter in the communication parameter optimization model (31) is and antenna rotation angle parameters The slow time scale optimization of becomes a stochastic optimization problem due to the expectation operation in the objective function. Since the objective function is difficult to solve, it is approximated as a deterministic function in the embodiment of the present application. Specifically, we generate independently for all terminals A set of random channel samples is generated, and the average achievable rate on these channel samples is used as an approximation of the expected rate in the objective function of the communication parameter optimization model (31). Figure 4 The base station can obtain the line-of-sight channel of the terminal under all possible IPA position-rotation pairs by estimating the terminal position at the beginning of the first phase of the proposed protocol, and based on this, it can change the rotation angle of all terminals independently and randomly. To generate A set of random channel samples.
[0189] Assume that the IPA time-varying channel The samples are . No. The average rate of a terminal can be approximated as ,in Indicates all Thus, the communication parameter optimization model (31) is reformulated as a position rotation optimization model as shown in the following formula (33).

[0191] The following is a detailed description of step 1004.
[0192] In some embodiments, the position rotation optimization model (33) is a non-convex optimization problem, which is due to the non-concave objective function and the non-convex constraints of the 2nd to 4th constraints. Traditional convex optimization methods do not have practical efficiency when solving the position rotation optimization model (33). Inspired by the low complexity of the particle swarm optimization algorithm, the particle swarm optimization algorithm is used in the embodiment of the present application to solve the optimized position rotation angle in the position rotation optimization model (33), that is, including optimizing the antenna position and optimizing the antenna rotation angle, and then adjusting at least one intelligent polarization shaping antenna in the base station based on the optimized antenna position and the optimized antenna rotation angle in the slow time scale within the coherence time.
[0193] Step 1005: Solve the polarization shaping optimization model to obtain the optimized polarization shaping corresponding to each fast time scale, and adjust at least one intelligent polarization shaping antenna in the base station and / or at least one intelligent polarization shaping antenna of at least one terminal in the corresponding fast time scale based on the optimized polarization shaping.
[0194] The following is a detailed description of step 1005.
[0195] In some embodiments, a penalty dual decomposition framework is used to solve the polarization shaping optimization model (32) for a fast time scale, and a two-layer iterative algorithm is developed to solve the polarization shaping optimization model (32). The inner loop uses a block-based minimization method to solve the enhanced Lagrangian problem, and the outer loop updates the dual variables and penalty coefficients according to the constraint violation until convergence, so as to obtain the optimized polarization shaping corresponding to each fast time scale, that is, including the optimized base station polarization shaping vector, the optimized precoding vector of the base station, and the optimized terminal polarization shaping vector of each terminal, so that in each corresponding fast time scale, the intelligent polarization shaping antenna in the base station is adjusted based on the optimized base station polarization shaping vector and the optimized precoding vector parameters, and the intelligent polarization shaping antenna of the terminal is adjusted based on the optimized terminal polarization shaping vector.
[0196] How to solve the polarization shaping optimization model (32) will be further described below.

[0198] Step 1201: convert the polarization shaping optimization model into a Lagrangian format to obtain a converted polarization shaping optimization model.
[0199] Step 1202: using the block coordinate descent method, the conversion polarization shaping optimization model is divided into a terminal polarization shaping optimization model, a base station polarization shaping optimization model and a transmit precoding optimization model.
[0200] Step 1203: Iteratively solve the terminal polarization shaping optimization model, the base station polarization shaping optimization model and the transmit precoding optimization model to obtain optimized polarization shaping.
[0201] Steps 1201 to 1203 are described in detail below.
[0202] Specifically, in the inner loop of the penalized dual decomposition, the block coordinate descent method is applied in the embodiment of the present application to solve the problem. First, the polarization shaping optimization model (32) is converted into a Lagrangian format to obtain the converted polarization shaping optimization model as shown in the following formula (34).

[0228] In the outer loop of the penalized dual decomposition framework, the update rule of the dual variables is shown in the following formula (49).
[0229]
[0230] Through the above steps 1201 to 1203, by performing Lagrangian transformation on the polarization shaping optimization model and decomposing it into multiple sub-problems using the block coordinate descent method, and then solving them iteratively, the complexity of the optimization problem can be effectively reduced, and the polarization shaping can be optimized, thereby better matching the channel characteristics and improving the signal transmission quality and system performance.
[0231] By implementing the communication parameter optimization method of the communication system corresponding to the above steps 1001 to 1005, a reachable transmission rate model is constructed by combining the terminal positioning results, and it is decomposed into position rotation optimization under a slow time scale and polarization shaping optimization under a fast time scale, thereby realizing dynamic adjustment of the base station antenna position, rotation angle and polarization shaping. This method can flexibly optimize communication parameters on different time scales according to channel changes and terminal positions, thereby maximizing the system transmission rate, improving wireless communication performance, and adapting to complex and changing wireless environments.
[0232] In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed solution, a communication system equipped with a smart polarization shaping antenna is simulated and verified in the embodiments of the present application, and compared with other solutions.
[0233] First, in this embodiment, the performance of the terminal positioning method of the communication system equipped with the intelligent polarization shaping antenna proposed in this scheme is evaluated. It is compared with the direct positioning method. The direct positioning method adopts maximum likelihood estimation and iteratively optimizes the arrival angle vector of the terminal. , the distance from the terminal to the base station To maximize the log-likelihood function. The positioning error is defined as ,in Indicates the real location of all terminals, indicates its estimated location In the positioning stage, this embodiment uses the matrix Designed to meet The semi-orthogonal matrix is set based on the Fourier transform matrix . Reference Fig.13 , is a simulation schematic diagram of the first communication system equipped with a smart polarization shaping antenna provided in the embodiment of the present application. Fig.13As shown in the figure, it is shown that the proposed positioning scheme based on polarization shaping (i.e., the terminal positioning method of the communication system equipped with intelligent polarization shaping antenna proposed in this scheme) has higher accuracy than the direct positioning method. This is because by providing a controllable polarization shaping vector, the proposed method makes full use of the measurement diversity of the received signal, thereby improving the estimation accuracy. In addition, the proposed method also effectively utilizes the Khatri-Rao channel structure and converts the stable channel into and dynamic coefficient The estimation of is separated, so that the closed-form solution can be used to locate the terminal based on the decoupled estimation results. Since the proposed algorithm requires less sensing time for positioning, the effective data rate of the terminal can be significantly improved.
[0234] Next, this example verifies the performance of the proposed communication parameter optimization method for a communication system equipped with an intelligent polarization shaping antenna and the performance of the proposed polarization shaping algorithm (fixed antenna position and rotation). The comparison scheme is a fixed parameter scheme, where , , and are fixed. Precoding vector The maximum rate transmission is adopted. This embodiment adopts a three-sector base station configuration, where the number of sectors is , each sector covers 120°. Fig.14 , is a simulation schematic diagram of a second communication system equipped with a smart polarization shaping antenna provided in an embodiment of the present application. Fig.14 As shown in , the proposed scheme of optimizing polarization-based beamforming only is studied for the average total rate that can be achieved when the number of terminals varies, and the impact of different polarization-based beamforming amplitude / phase quantization levels on the achievable rate is also shown. Assume that the number of quantization bits at the base station and the terminal is the same. It can be observed that the performance of polarization-based beamforming optimization with joint amplitude and phase control is better than that of phase control only (i.e. ) and amplitude control only (i.e. ). In addition, the proposed scheme including amplitude control performs better than phase control alone. Furthermore, as the number of terminals increases, The performance improvement brought by amplitude control is more significant as the number of channels increases, because the multi-terminal interference caused by the channel state information estimation error will be more serious. This result shows that in systems with a large number of terminals, polarization shaping using amplitude-phase joint control may be more advantageous than polarization shaping using only amplitude or only phase control.
[0235] Reference Fig.15 , is a simulation schematic diagram of a third communication system equipped with a smart polarization shaping antenna provided in an embodiment of the present application. Fig.15As shown in , the achievable rates of different schemes under the change of base station transmit power are plotted. The results show that compared with the fixed parameter scheme, whether only polarization shaping optimization, only position-rotation optimization, or the algorithm of joint antenna position / rotation and polarization shaping optimization is adopted, the achievable rate can be improved. Among them, the joint optimization scheme (i.e., the communication parameter optimization method of the communication system equipped with intelligent polarization shaping antenna proposed in this application) obtains the highest performance gain. In particular, when only the polarization shaping optimization scheme is adopted, its average rate is significantly higher than that of the fixed parameter scheme. This is because the polarization shaping antenna can dynamically adjust the polarization state of the terminal and the base station to maximize the instantaneous channel gain, thereby effectively utilizing the additional degrees of freedom provided by polarization diversity. In addition, even at the same transmit power, the position-rotation optimization scheme alone can achieve a higher rate than the fixed parameter scheme, because the IPA system with position-rotation adjustment has more spatial degrees of freedom and can more reasonably deploy antenna resources to match the spatial distribution of the terminal channel. Furthermore, as the base station transmit power increases, the performance gap between the proposed scheme and the fixed parameter scheme will continue to widen. This is an expected phenomenon, because as the transmit power increases, the total rate will be limited by more interference. By adjusting the polarization shaping of the terminal / base station and the position and rotation of the base station antenna, the interference suppression conditions of the multi-terminal MIMO channel can be effectively improved with the help of base station precoding.
[0236] Therefore, the wireless system enhanced by the intelligent polarization shaping antenna proposed in the present invention (i.e., the communication parameter optimization method of the communication system equipped with the intelligent polarization shaping antenna proposed in the present application) can provide an efficient communication / perception solution for the wireless network.
