Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of integrated sensing and communication, specifically involving a hybrid waveform design method based on collaborative index optimization, particularly for performance optimization of integrated waveform target parameter estimation in point target detection and multi-user communication scenarios. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of electronic information technology, sensing and communication systems are showing increasing commonalities in spectrum utilization, structural design, and signal processing technologies. Coupled with the explosive growth in the number of network-connected devices, spectrum resources are becoming increasingly scarce, and inter-device interference is becoming more and more serious. In this context, Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) technology has emerged. This technology utilizes the same hardware and radio signals to accomplish the dual tasks of radar detection and communication transmission, offering multiple advantages such as efficient use of spectrum resources, reduced inter-device interference, and endowing information networks with comprehensive, multi-dimensional communication and sensing capabilities. To meet the strong demand for high-performance conditions in future networks and smart applications, innovating and optimizing specific waveform design methods for integrated sensing and communication has become particularly important. This not only concerns efficient target detection and data transmission but also involves factors such as the complexity, reliability, and flexibility of the integrated system. Its successful implementation is expected to significantly improve the performance and efficiency of wireless communication systems, while bringing significant benefits to economic and social development.

[0003] Current research primarily focuses on optimizing the sensing performance of integrated communication-sensing waveforms as a single limiting metric. This involves constructing an optimization problem model with the limiting metric as the cost function under constraints of signal-to-interference plus-noise ratio (SINR) and transmit power. Solution algorithms for this model are mainly limited to deriving closed-form solutions, semidefinite relaxation (SDR) techniques, and the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). These methods do not adequately consider the degrees of freedom of the problem model and practical engineering issues. When the integrated system fails to operate effectively within its maximum detection range, or when using nonlinear amplifiers, signal distortion leading to power loss affects the accurate assessment of the transmitter and receiver system performance. Therefore, further research and design of integrated waveform problem models and optimization algorithms are needed to reduce target estimation errors and improve the quality and accuracy of integrated waveform sensing performance.

[0090] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0091] like Figure 1As shown, this invention provides a synergistic waveform design method based on synergistic index optimization. This method comprehensively considers the synergistic optimization between the target parameter estimation index (CRB) and the communication service quality index (SINR), and formulates a problem model by combining the constant modulus constraint of waveform and the maximum transmit power constraint under practical engineering conditions. To address the non-convex and nonlinear characteristics of the problem model, the SM-RMTR algorithm is proposed to solve the model with lower computational complexity and achieve better optimization results. Specifically, it includes the following steps:

[0092] Step 1: Establish a system equipped with N t One transmitting antenna and N r This is a MIMO-ISAC base station model with K receiving antennas. The base station model uses a uniform linear array (ULA) for antenna layout, with an antenna spacing of half a wavelength. It can sense a single point target while providing communication services to K single-antenna users.

[0093] The MIMO-ISAC system model consists of a base station, a single point target, and K single-antenna users. The base station uses N uniform linear arrays, which are divided into N... t One transmitting antenna and N r There are K receiving antennas. While serving K downlink communication users, the base station also performs target tracking and parameter estimation based on the echo signals.

[0094] Specifically in this embodiment, N t =16, N t =20, K=4.

[0095] Step 2: As Figure 2 As shown, based on the base station model established in step 1, a shared signal and performance index model is constructed.

[0096] Based on the established base station model, the base station's transmitted signal is obtained:

[0097] T = W ISAC S c (1)

[0098] In the formula, Represents the beamforming matrix. This represents the baseband data stream, which follows an independent white Gaussian distribution, where L is the number of symbols contained in a signal frame, and the data streams are independent of each other.

[0099] Based on the established base station model and base station transmitted signal model, calculate the signal flow at the user receiver:

[0100] R c =CT+N c (2)

[0101] In the formula, Let the Gaussian white noise matrix be , and the variance be . This represents the channel matrix between the base station and downlink communication users.

[0102] Based on the obtained user receiver signal stream, in the case of multi-user communication, calculate the SINR of the k-th downlink communication user:

[0103]

[0104] Based on the established base station transmit signal model, calculate the echo signal flow at the base station receiver:

[0105] R r =FT+N r (4)

[0106] In the formula, The variance is expressed as The additive white Gaussian noise matrix, The point target response matrix is ​​represented by F = αu(θ)V. H (θ) = αP(θ). α represents the target received amplitude response influenced by both the target RCS and two-way propagation loss, and θ represents the relative azimuth angle. Indicates the transmitting antenna steering vector. This represents the receiving antenna steering vector.

[0107] Based on the base station model and the echo signal expression of the base station receiver, the center of the uniform antenna array is selected as the reference phase point. The transmitting antenna steering vector and its derivative are then expressed as:

[0108]

[0109] In the formula, v i This represents the i-th element of V;

[0110] According to the echo signal R received by the base station r The CRB relation for the Cramer-Rao boundary at angle θ where the target is located is:

[0111]

[0112] In the formula, Q T The sample covariance matrix of the transmitted signal T is expressed as:

[0113]

[0114] By establishing a shared signal and performance index model as shown in formulas (1)(2)(3)(4)(7), the base station can perceive the target while serving multiple communication users.

[0115] In this specific embodiment, L = 30. θ = 0°, α = 0.1.

[0116] Step 3: As Figure 3 As shown, based on the shared signal and performance index model established in step 2, a problem model for collaborative optimization of parameter estimation performance and communication service quality is established under the constraints of maximum transmit power level and constant waveform modulus.

[0117] Based on the antenna steering vector and its derivative expression, and by the existence of symmetry between them, it can be proved that:

[0118]

[0119] Based on the orthogonality of the steering vector, the Cramer-Rao boundary (CRB) at the target angle θ can be simplified as follows:

[0120]

[0121] Based on the CRB expression, and under the conditions of satisfying the user SINR constraint and the transmitter power constraint, the problem of minimizing the CRB estimation at the target angle θ is equivalently transformed into the problem of maximizing the radiated power at the target angle θ. The integrated beam optimization problem is expressed as follows:

[0122]

[0123] In the formula, ||·|| F Denotes the norm, Γ k P represents the lower bound of the SINR that guarantees user communication. T Indicates the transmission power.

[0124] To further optimize waveform performance and the problem model, parameter estimation (CRB) and communication quality (SINR) are used as joint optimization objectives, transforming explicit SINR constraints into implicit ones. The optimization problem is further formulated as follows:

[0125]

[0126] According to the optimization problem expression, in practical radar and communication systems, it is essential to ensure that the base station can operate efficiently within its maximum detection range and maintain the constant envelope characteristic of the waveform. To avoid distortion caused by amplitude nonlinearity, the trade-off optimization problem after introducing the maximum transmit power level constraint and the constant waveform modulus constraint is expressed as follows:

[0127]

[0128] Specifically in this embodiment, Γ k =15dB, P T=30dBm.

[0129] Step 4: Based on the nonlinear characteristics of the problem model, explore the geometric properties of the nonconvex constraints, and associate the constant modulus constraints with the Riemannian manifold in terms of properties, so that the constrained nonconvex optimization problem is transformed into an unconstrained convex optimization problem on the manifold.

[0130] The inherent geometric structure of the constraints is visualized. Embedding the constraints into the search space and mapping them into the solution space results in the following smooth, flowing representation:

[0131]

[0132] In the formula, It is a complex circular manifold.

[0133] Based on the structure of the complex circular manifold, the linear space surrounding any point on the manifold can be approximated by the tangent space:

[0134]

[0135] In the formula, This represents the tangent vector.

[0136] Based on the established tangent space structure, the inner product of the tangent space should satisfy bilinearity, symmetry, and positive definiteness. By defining inner products that satisfy these properties, a specific structure on the manifold is constructed, namely the Riemannian metric:

[0137]

[0138] Based on the Riemannian complex circular manifold structure and the non-convex optimization problem constructed above, we obtain the unconstrained convex optimization problem based on the Riemannian manifold:

[0139]

[0140] Step 5: Propose the SM-RMTR optimization algorithm to solve the optimization problem model established in Step 4, and obtain the target parameter estimation performance optimization waveform of the integrated sensing and communication system based on the solution results.

[0141] The Euclidean gradient of the objective function with respect to the beamforming matrix is ​​derived, and the Riemann gradient is characterized based on the mapping relationship between the Euclidean and Riemann gradients. An initial iteration point and trust region radius are selected. A local quadratic approximation model is constructed and solved using the objective function and Riemann gradient. The ratio of the predicted reduction to the actual reduction of the objective function is evaluated, and the trust region radius is dynamically updated. This process is iterated until the convergence criterion is met, and finally, the optimal beam matrix w that satisfies the optimization objective of the problem model is extracted. opt .

[0142] To develop the SM-RMTR optimization algorithm, it is necessary to calculate the Riemann gradient and Riemann Hessian of the objective function. The objective function contains complex fractional terms and polynomial summation terms. To facilitate subsequent computation, the objective function is decomposed as follows:

[0143]

[0144] The objective functions of each sub-item with respect to w were calculated. k Euclidean gradient:

[0145]

[0146] Calculate the sum gradient of the Euclidean gradients of each component. Merge W again ISAC Gradients of all columns yield Euclidean gradients.

[0147] The Riemann gradient is an orthogonal projection of the Euclidean gradient, characterized as:

[0148]

[0149] In the formula, represents the orthogonal projection operator; ⊙ represents the Hadamard product, indicating the multiplication of corresponding elements;

[0150] The Riemannian Hessian is a generalization of the second-order partial derivatives of real-valued functions in Euclidean space. It considers the curvature and geometric properties of manifolds and introduces the Riemannian connection theory. Therefore, the Riemannian Hessian can be expressed as:

[0151]

[0152] In the formula, It is expressed as the directional derivative of the Euclidean gradient along the tangent vector.

[0153] To ensure that the points updated along the gradient direction still lie on the manifold, a Riemannian manifold optimization strategy centered on the shrinkage operator is established to obtain the points in the tangent space closest to the manifold. The shrinkage operator is defined as:

[0154]

[0155] Using the Riemann gradient and Riemann Hessian information, the optimization problem in step four can be represented as the following trust region form:

[0156]

[0157] In the formula, For Levi-Civita connection, η k Indicates the radius of the trust region.

[0158] New trust region radius η k+1 The selection is based on the trust region descent ratio, which can be expressed as:

[0159]

[0160] like Figure 4 As shown, the specific process of solving the problem model using the integrated SM-RMTR optimization algorithm is as follows:

[0161] ① Initialization: Starting from the initial point, select an initial trust region radius, which defines the size of the local neighborhood searched by the algorithm.

[0162] ② Constructing a local model: At the current iteration point, a local quadratic approximation model is constructed using the objective function and its gradient. This local model is effective within the trust region.

[0163] ③ Solve the subproblem: Solve the optimization problem of this local model within the current trust region. The solution to this subproblem provides a potential new iteration point.

[0164] ④ Evaluation and Update: Compare the reduction predicted by the local model with the actual reduction of the objective function. If the actual reduction is close enough to the predicted reduction, accept the point and increase the radius of the confidence region as needed; if the actual reduction is much smaller than the prediction, reject the point and decrease the radius of the confidence region.

[0165] ⑤ Iteration: Use the newly found point as the starting point for the next iteration and repeat steps ②-④.

[0166] ⑥ Convergence check: Check whether the algorithm meets the convergence criteria, such as whether the gradient norm is small enough or whether the preset number of iterations has been reached. If the convergence criteria are met, stop iterating; otherwise, continue to step ②.

[0167] like Figure 5 As shown, the radiated power of the transmitted signal beam under the SM-RMTR algorithm at the target azimuth is higher than that of the SDR and ADMM algorithms, verifying its superiority in improving the target detection performance of the signal waveform. Furthermore, the sidelobe levels under the SM-RMTR algorithm are generally lower than those of the comparative algorithms, further confirming its excellent performance in energy concentration and target estimation. Figure 6 As shown, the peak-to-peak value of the SM-RMTR algorithm at the target azimuth is significantly higher than that of the SDR and ADMM algorithms, verifying its significant advantage in enhancing target detection performance. Furthermore, its main peak is sharper and more concentrated, indicating higher spatial resolution, providing more accurate target information, and also demonstrating a significant advantage in suppressing signals from non-target directions. Figure 7As shown, with the continuous improvement of the radar echo signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the target angle estimation error under each optimization algorithm gradually decreases, and the root mean square error (RMSE) curves all take the corresponding CRB curve as their lower bound. The CRB and RMSE curves under the SM-RMTR algorithm are significantly lower than their corresponding curves under SDR technology and ADMM algorithm, indicating its significant advantage in improving the accuracy of waveform target angle estimation. This verifies the efficiency of the optimization algorithm presented in this paper in processing nonlinear and multidimensional data, and demonstrates its ability to better adapt to complex signal environments and optimize parameter estimation performance.

[0168] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
