Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication, and in particular to a wireless communication system, method, device and medium assisted by a rotatable antenna. Background Art

[0002] In traditional wireless communication systems, a large number of antennas and base stations are usually used to increase the array gain and spatial multiplexing gain to improve the signal quality of the user terminal. However, the increase in the number of antennas requires more space, higher energy consumption and hardware costs. Since the position and direction of the antennas are fixed, the increase in the number of antennas will make the mutual coupling effect and interference problems between the antennas more serious, and the spatial degrees of freedom cannot be fully exploited. To solve this problem, some new antenna technologies have been proposed, mainly including the following types:

[0003] Fluid antenna / movable antenna: It consists of a software-controllable fluid, conductive or dielectric structure, and can reconfigure characteristics such as gain, radiation pattern, and operating frequency by changing its shape and position. Although it has flexibility, the change of its position requires a large moving space. The mechanical motion type fluid antenna adjusts the antenna position through physical displacement, and the mechanical system is complex, which is easy to increase the device volume and affect the miniaturization design. In addition, the response speed of mechanical drive is slow, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of high-speed application scenarios. Although the non-mechanical drive structure simplifies the design, its adjustable range is small, and the frequency and bandwidth may be limited, resulting in higher maintenance costs and design difficulties.

[0004] Six-dimensional movable antenna: An antenna that allows flexible adjustment of three-dimensional position and three-dimensional rotation. Although the six-dimensional movable antenna can achieve full coverage of the range and make full use of the spatial degrees of freedom, there are more complex angle / position optimization problems, and its control structure is more complex than that of the movable antenna / fluid antenna, and the manufacturing cost is higher.

[0005] In summary, the existing antenna technology solutions all have corresponding problems, and a perfect technical solution is still needed. Summary of the Invention

[0060] To illustrate the technical progressiveness of the method of the present invention, the rotatable antenna-assisted communication system proposed by the present invention is tested in an actual environment and compared with a fixed antenna system. Among them, the fixed antenna system refers to a system with a fixed antenna position and a fixed orientation. In this test, the number of rotatable antennas is 1, and the number of target users is 1.

[0061] In traditional wireless communication systems, usually a large number of antennas and base stations are added to increase the array gain and spatial multiplexing gain to improve the signal quality at the user end. However, the increase in the number of antennas requires more space, higher energy consumption, and hardware costs. Since the position and direction of the antennas are fixed, the increase in the number of antennas will make the mutual coupling effect and interference problems between the antennas more serious, and the spatial degrees of freedom cannot be fully exploited. To solve this problem, some new antenna technologies have been proposed, mainly including the following types:

[0062] Fluid antenna / movable antenna: It is composed of a software-controllable fluid, conductive or dielectric structure, and can reconfigure characteristics such as gain, radiation pattern, and operating frequency by changing its shape and position. Although it has flexibility, the change of its position requires a large moving space. The mechanical motion type fluid antenna adjusts the antenna position through physical displacement, and the mechanical system is complex, which is easy to increase the device volume and affect the miniaturization design. In addition, the response speed of mechanical drive is slow, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of high-speed application scenarios. Although the non-mechanical drive structure simplifies the design, its adjustable range is small, and the frequency and bandwidth may be limited, resulting in higher maintenance costs and design difficulties.

[0063] Six - dimensional movable antenna: An antenna that allows flexible adjustment of three - dimensional position and three - dimensional rotation. Although the six - dimensional movable antenna can achieve full coverage of the range and make full use of the spatial degrees of freedom, there are relatively complex angle / position optimization problems, and its control structure is more complex than that of movable antennas / fluid antennas, and the manufacturing cost is higher.

[0064] Rotatable antenna: It can flexibly adjust the three - dimensional direction of the antenna beam through mechanical rotation or electrical rotation while keeping its position unchanged. Due to its fixed position, the rotatable antenna can significantly reduce the required cost and space while improving communication performance.

[0065] Based on this, the present invention proposes a wireless communication system assisted by a rotatable antenna. Through the target positioning system and the rotatable antenna system, the direction of the antenna can be dynamically adjusted according to the position of the target, ensuring that the beam direction of the antenna is always aligned with the target user to improve communication quality and signal strength.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the composition of the rotatable antenna system of the present invention. The rotatable antenna system 10 includes N rotatable antenna units 105 and a main control unit 101, where N is a positive integer. The rotatable antenna unit includes a motor 102, a motor control module 103, and a directional antenna unit 104. The directional antenna unit 104 is responsible for transmitting and receiving radio frequency signals. The motor 102 is connected to the directional antenna unit 104 to drive the directional antenna unit 104 to perform rotational motion. The motor control module 103 is responsible for receiving the rotation angle signal and controlling the motor 102 to perform horizontal / vertical motion. The main control unit is responsible for determining the rotation angle of the rotatable antenna unit to realize the radio frequency signal transceiver operation of the radio frequency transceiver system 20.

[0067] Refer to Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the composition of the target positioning system of the present invention. The target positioning system 30 further includes an image acquisition unit 301 and a target positioning unit 302. The image acquisition unit 301 is installed on the rotatable antenna system 10 and uses a high - resolution industrial camera to photograph the surrounding environment to obtain clear and accurate environmental images. The target positioning unit 302 is responsible for real - time processing of the obtained environmental images and extracting the coordinate information of the target user. Further, the target positioning unit includes two convolutional neural networks. The first convolutional neural network is used to extract the features of the image, detect the target position and category in the image, so as to extract the target label position information. The second convolutional neural network is used to extract the target feature vector obtained by the first convolutional neural network, match the detected target with the existing trajectory, and perform data association in target tracking.

[0068] Refer to Figure 3Schematic diagram of the relationship composition of each module of the present invention. The main control unit 101 is simultaneously connected to the rotating antenna unit 105, the target positioning unit 302, and the radio frequency transceiver system 20. The main control unit 101 determines the rotation angle of the rotating antenna unit 105. The target positioning unit 302 outputs the position information of the target to the main control unit 101. At the same time, the working process of the radio frequency transceiver system 20 runs on the main control unit 101.

[0069] Reference Figure 4 Working flowchart of the rotatable antenna assisted communication system. The specific implementation details include the following steps:

[0070] Step S101, the system is powered on and starts running;

[0071] Step S102, the main control unit sends a reset signal to the motor control module;

[0072] Step S103, input the target label information into the pre-trained first convolutional neural network;

[0073] Among them, the target label information is the category of the target label. By setting the category of the target label, the target to be recognized can be determined. The structure of the first convolutional neural network is not limited. Commonly used architectures such as CSPDarknet and ResNet can be used. It is possible to select a number of convolutional neural networks to extract multi-scale features of the target, and then fuse the extracted features to integrate the feature information of different signals. Among them, the fusion strategy is not limited. It can be achieved through introducing an attention mechanism, splicing, joint learning, etc. to obtain the positioning information of the target.

[0074] In one embodiment, the first convolutional neural network adopts the CSPDarknet53 architecture, extracts multi-scale features through the C2f module and the Bottleneck Block, introduces an attention mechanism and a path aggregation network for feature fusion, and uses the bottom-up and top-down paths to enhance the interaction of features at different levels; the fused feature vector is sequentially passed through the fully connected layer and the activation function to obtain the position information of the target. The choice of the activation function is not limited, and ReLU (Rectified Linear Unit) etc. can be selected.

[0075] Step S104, the main control unit outputs a pulse signal to the motor control module to control the image acquisition unit to rotate 360°;

[0076] Among them, the visual range and resolution of the image acquisition unit are not limited. An image acquisition module with a larger coverage range and higher resolution can be used. The larger the visual range of the image acquisition unit, the faster the response speed of the system when the target appears.

[0077] In one embodiment, an image acquisition module with a visible range of 135° horizontally and 60° vertically and a resolution of 1920×1080 is adopted. The visible range of the image acquisition module affects the angle of rotation of the motor-controlled antenna.

[0078] Step S105, the target positioning unit determines whether there is a target user in the environment;

[0079] Step S106, if the judgment result is negative, that is, there is no target user, the main control unit periodically outputs a pulse signal to the motor control module to control the periodic rotation of the image acquisition unit.

[0080] Among them, the period of the motor rotation is not restricted and can be set according to the actual situation.

[0081] In one embodiment, a hardware timer is initialized in the main control unit and its period is set to 100000 milliseconds. Further, an activation function is written, which is responsible for sending a control signal to the servo to adjust its angle. The timer is started so that the activation function is triggered every 100 seconds. In this way, the servo will receive a control signal every 100 seconds, thus realizing periodic rotation.

[0082] Step S107, if the judgment result is positive, that is, there is a target user, the target positioning unit outputs the position coordinate information of the target user to the main control unit.

[0083] Step S108, the main control unit processes the position coordinate information of the target user to obtain the corresponding azimuth angle and pitch angle θ;

[0084] Among them, the azimuth angle pointed by the rotatable antenna unit is determined by the coordinate information of the target, the visible range of the image acquisition module, and the size of the picture output by the image acquisition module.

[0085] In one embodiment, the target bounding box output by the target positioning unit is (x 1 , x 2 , y 1 , y 2 ), (x 1 , y 1 ), (x 2 , y 2 ) respectively represent the coordinates of the upper left and lower right corners of the bounding box. x max , y max are respectively the length and width of the picture output by the image acquisition module. 135° and 60° are respectively the horizontal and vertical visible ranges of the image acquisition module. Then the azimuth angle and pitch angle θ of the rotatable antenna unit are respectively:

[0086]

[0087] According to the target bounding box information output by the image positioning module, the steps of channel estimation and target positioning can be simplified, and the angular information of the target can be obtained quickly and accurately, so as to obtain the rotation angle of the rotatable antenna.

[0088] Step S109, the main control unit outputs the corresponding angle information to the motor control module, and rotates the antenna clockwise to the user's corresponding azimuth and elevation angle θ, and detect the signal strength value.

[0089] Step S110, input the output result of the first convolutional neural network into the second convolutional neural network to obtain the appearance features of the target;

[0090] Among them, the structure of the second convolutional neural network is not limited, and common architectures such as ResNet and MobileNet can be used. Several convolutional neural networks can be selected to extract the appearance features of the target.

[0091] In one embodiment, the second convolutional neural network adopts a simplified convolutional neural network structure based on ResNet, and generates a 128-dimensional feature vector for target matching through a convolutional layer, a residual block, a global average pooling layer, and a fully connected layer to represent the appearance features of the target.

[0092] Step S111, use the state prediction method to predict the position of the target in the next frame;

[0093] Among them, the method of state prediction is not limited, and prediction methods such as Kalman filtering and particle filtering can be used to predict the position of the target in the next frame.

[0094] In one embodiment, according to the historical position and speed information of the target, the Kalman filter is used to predict the position of the target in the next frame.

[0095] Step S112, according to the predicted position and appearance features, match the detection result in the current frame with the target;

[0096] Among them, the matching method and order are not limited, and methods such as the Hungarian algorithm, cascade matching, and dynamic template matching can be used to achieve more accurate matching.

[0097] In one embodiment, first, the similarity between two bounding boxes is measured using IOU (Intersection over Union), and a cost matrix is constructed. Then, the Hungarian algorithm is used to optimize the matching of the cost matrix. The Hungarian algorithm can find the optimal matching scheme to ensure a one-to-one matching between each detection box and prediction box. Then, the unmatched detection boxes and prediction boxes are cascaded for matching. Finally, feature similarity matching is used to match the detection boxes and prediction boxes with high feature similarity.

[0098] Step S113, determine whether the target is moving;

[0099] Step S114, if the target is not moving, the antenna rotation angle remains unchanged and always points to the user;

[0100] Step S115, if the target is moving, update the trajectory of the target according to the matching result to obtain the accurate position information of the moving target, and output the position information to the main control unit.

[0101] Step S116, the main control unit processes the updated position coordinate information of the target user to obtain the corresponding azimuth angle and elevation angle θ.

[0102] Step S117, the main control unit outputs the corresponding angle information to the motor control module, rotates the antenna to the corresponding azimuth angle of the user and elevation angle θ, and detects the signal strength value.

[0103] Reference Figure 5 is the curve graph of the relationship between the received power and the target position in different antenna systems for the mobile target provided by the embodiment of the present application. It can be Figure 5 concluded that compared with the fixed antenna system, the received signal power of the user obtained in the rotatable antenna-assisted communication system proposed in the embodiment of the present application is significantly more stable, and the signal quality is significantly higher than that of the fixed antenna system. This verifies that when the rotatable antenna-assisted communication system proposed in the embodiment of the present application is used, the communication quality and its stability can be effectively improved.
