Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wireless communication physical layer, and in particular to a method for designing optimal antenna spacing of a very large-scale MIMO system based on effective degrees of freedom. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, in order to meet the requirements of ultra-reliability, high capacity density, extremely low latency and low energy consumption for future sixth-generation communications, ultra-large-scale MIMO technology has attracted extensive research attention. Compared with traditional massive MIMO, ultra-large-scale MIMO deploys orders of magnitude more antennas to achieve extremely high spectral efficiency. The increase in the number of antennas not only expands the array scale, but also pushes the system's working environment from the traditional far-field region to the near-field region. Therefore, ultra-large-scale MIMO systems need to consider new channel characteristics, such as spherical wavefront, spatial non-stationarity, etc. Among them, the spherical wavefront characteristics of near-field ultra-large-scale MIMO systems have attracted the attention of the academic community. For traditional far-field channels, due to the single spatial angle of the plane wavefront, the freedom of the line-of-sight path is extremely limited. On the contrary, in the near-field scenario, considering the spherical wavefront, the spatial angle varies across the entire transmit / receive array, which greatly increases the freedom of the ultra-large-scale MIMO system, thereby significantly improving the channel capacity. On the other hand, since the channel capacity mainly depends on the orthogonal sub-channels with large singular values, existing research works are more concerned with the so-called effective degrees of freedom, that is, the number of large singular values of the channel matrix.
[0003] Existing literature shows that increasing the effective degrees of freedom can significantly improve the channel capacity of very large-scale MIMO systems. It should be pointed out that although the effective degrees of freedom can be increased by increasing the number of antennas or reducing the distance between the transmit and receive arrays, the effective degrees of freedom increased by these means are very limited. This means that only when more or even excessive antennas are deployed or the distance between the transmit and receive arrays is very close can the system have a larger effective degree of freedom, but this is not practical. Therefore, for the existing very large-scale MIMO systems, there is an urgent need for a solution that can effectively increase the effective degrees of freedom to fully utilize the near-field characteristics of the spherical wavefront to increase the system capacity. Summary of the invention
[0004] The present invention provides a method for designing optimal antenna spacing of a very large-scale MIMO system based on effective degrees of freedom. The effective degrees of freedom of the very large-scale MIMO system are effectively improved by increasing the antenna spacing, and an expression for the optimal antenna spacing of the system that maximizes the effective degrees of freedom of the channel is theoretically derived, providing guidance for the design of the very large-scale MIMO system.

[0017]
[0018] Where i is the imaginary unit, r and r′ are position vectors;
[0019] Step S103: Considering that both the system transmitting array and the receiving array are configured with point source antenna arrays, then N S The signal transmitted by the point source transmitting antenna is received by the point source receiving antenna r Ri The signal wave generated at is:
[0020]
[0021] Among them, the position of each transmitting antenna is denoted as r Sj , j = 1, 2, ..., N S , the position of each receiving antenna is denoted as r Ri , i = 1, 2, ..., N R , N R is the number of receiving antennas, s j is the transmitting antenna r Sj The source of the transmitted signal; g ij represents the position of the transmitting antenna r Sj and the receiving antenna position r Ri The Green's function between is defined as:
[0022]
[0023] Step S104: Based on step S103, receiving a received signal on the array plane It is expressed as:

[0028]
[0029] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, step S2 specifically includes the following steps:

[0031] In step S202, it is considered that the transmitting array is focused on the receiving antenna r0, and each transmitting antenna transmits the same transmitting signal s, and the power is P / N. Then the receiving signal at the receiving antenna r0 is expressed as:
[0032]
[0033] Where P is the total power of the signal transmitted by the transmitting array, The steering phase offset applied to the transmitting antenna (m, n) to focus the transmitting array on the receiving antenna r0, where n is additive white Gaussian noise and follows the distribution is the channel coefficient corresponding to the receiving antenna r0, and the expression is as follows:

[0038]
[0039] Where ρ0 is the array gain of the transmitting array at r0, expressed as:
[0040]
[0041] Since the transmit array is focused on the receive antenna r0, the steering phase shift The array gain ρ0 should be maximized, so its value is:

[0058]
[0059] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, step S4 specifically includes the following steps:
[0060] Step S401, according to step S3, when the transmitting array is focused on the receiving antenna r0 (0, 0, L), the size of the interference signal received at the receiving antenna r1 (d, 0, L) closest to the receiving antenna r0 is proportional to the size of the array gain ρ1; when the interference to the adjacent antenna is minimized, that is, when the effective degree of freedom of the channel is maximized, therefore, to maximize the effective degree of freedom of the channel, only the zero point of the array gain ρ1 needs to be considered;
[0061] Step S402, considering ρ1 = 0, then Given the system's operating frequency, the distance between the transmit and receive arrays, and the number of transmit and receive antennas, the antenna spacing that maximizes the channel's effective degrees of freedom is expressed as:
[0062]
[0063] The method for designing the optimal antenna spacing of a very large-scale MIMO system based on effective degrees of freedom in an embodiment of the present invention is more effective than the solution in the existing literature that increases the effective degrees of freedom of a very large-scale MIMO system by increasing the number of antennas or reducing the distance between the transmitting and receiving arrays.

[0094]
[0095] The effective degrees of freedom of the channel can be calculated as follows:
[0096]
[0097] Consider the example system operating frequency f = 30GHz (λ = 0.01m), the number of antennas N S =N R =25×25, the distance between the transmitting and receiving arrays is L=4000λ, then the effective degree of freedom varies with the antenna spacing d of the array as follows: Figure 3 shown.
