TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a communication and perception integrated waveform design and parameter estimation method, belonging to the technical field of wireless communication and radar perception. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of the fifth generation mobile communication, a large number of intelligent devices need to access the communication network, such as robots, autonomous driving, virtual reality, etc., which all need high-speed communication services and high-resolution perception services. At the same time, high-speed, high-reliability, low-delay communication requirements and high-precision, high-resolution perception requirements require a large amount of spectrum resources, and sharing spectrum between communication and perception is one of the important means to meet the communication and perception requirements. In fact, in addition to the use of frequency bands, there is a common use in hardware architecture, time domain waveform and beamforming, etc. Both communication systems and radar perception systems use radio frequency signals, which have a high degree of similarity. "F. Liu, C. Masouros, A. P. Petropulu, H. Griffiths and L. Hanzo, "Joint Radar and Communication Design: Applications, State-of-the-Art, and the Road Ahead," IEEE Trans. Commun., vol. 68, no. 6, pp. 3834-3862, June 2020." introduces that in the future wireless system, combining the two into a communication and perception integrated system is one of the important research contents of the next generation mobile communication, through the mutual integration of communication and perception, the performance of the whole system can be improved, and the hardware cost and complexity are greatly reduced.

Prior art such as radar waveform-centered design embeds communication symbols between radar pulses or modulates on radar signals, but often has a low communication rate and is difficult to adapt to multipath fading channels. Or communication waveform-centered design develops the sensing ability of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) waveform itself, optimizes waveform indicators such as peak-to-average ratio to adapt to sensing channels and sensing algorithms, and uses matched filtering or carrier phase analysis for ranging and speed measurement, but its accuracy and resolution are directly determined by the OFDM symbol length, which cannot be broken through by algorithm or physical means.

[0120] Actual application-specific simulation experiment results are shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 . Among them, Figure 1 is a simulation experiment result about communication performance in the embodiment of the application. Figure 1 The solid line, the dashed line and the dotted line in the figure respectively represent the bit error rate and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) relationship of single carrier QPSK under a single path channel, QPSK-OFDM under a multi-path channel and the waveform designed in the application under a multi-path channel. As shown in Figure 1 , it can be seen that the communication performance of the waveform designed in the application is similar to that of single carrier QPSK under a single path channel, and is rapidly improved with the SNR from 0 to 20 dB, but the SNR requirement is increased by about 6 dB under the same performance. The performance of QPSK-OFDM under a multi-path channel is almost linearly improved from 0 to 20 dB. Before 13 dB, the communication performance of QPSK-OFDM is slightly higher than that of the waveform designed in the application, and after that, the waveform designed in the application is superior to QPSK-OFDM, and the gap is rapidly improved.

[0121] As shown in Figure 2The figure shows the simulation results of the perception algorithm in this embodiment of the invention. The figure is the time delay spectrum for single-target perception when the SNR is 10dB. Figure 2 As shown, a very obvious broadband signal can be seen. Take the first one with an amplitude greater than 1.5 and record its index a. Then, according to equation (15), the distance measurement can be completed.

[0122] like Figure 3 The figure shows the simulation results of the perception algorithm in this embodiment of the invention. The figure shows the time delay spectrum for multi-target perception when the SNR is 10dB. Figure 3 As shown, the signal of the first sensing target among the three sensing targets is independent, while the time delay spectra of the other two sensing targets overlap due to their close proximity. In this case, the three frequency points a with an amplitude increase greater than 4 are selected. k k = 1, 2, 3, 4. Similarly, according to equation (15), the distance measurement of the three sensing targets can be completed.

[0123] Furthermore, the integrated waveform design and parameter estimation method for communication and sensing proposed in this invention has advantages in multi-base station collaborative sensing due to its passive sensing characteristics. Base stations can estimate distance parameters even without knowing the specific baseband information. For collaborative sensing of equilateral triangle base stations in a cellular network architecture, it can combine the location information and received signals of the three base stations to pinpoint the specific location of the sensing target without beamforming angle measurement, achieving both broadband communication and sensing positioning in low-frequency bands such as Sub6G. Specifically, each base station in the equilateral triangle can transmit the waveform designed in this invention at three different times, while the other two base stations receive the echo signal from the sensing target. The sum of the distances between the sensing target and the two base stations is calculated using the aforementioned sensing processing method. Combined with the fixed geometric relationship of the three base stations, the specific coordinates of the sensing target can be determined.

[0124] In summary, this invention proposes an integrated waveform design and parameter estimation method for communication and sensing. By performing multi-carrier frequency conversion modulation on the baseband signal and oversampling at the receiving end, it accomplishes both user communication and target sensing tasks. In terms of communication, this waveform design can adapt to broadband multipath fading channels, ensuring a communication rate almost identical to that of OFDM systems. In terms of sensing, it can perform distance parameter estimation based on the received signal even without knowing the communication symbols, giving the waveform passive sensing capabilities. Furthermore, the design maximizes the accuracy and resolution of sensing parameter estimation while ensuring communication performance.

[0125] In addition, the sensing performance of the designed waveform is related to the symbol duration, the linear frequency change rate and the oversampling rate, the sensing performance can be improved from multiple dimensions, and the noise sensitivity is low; and the passive sensing ability of the designed waveform is suitable for passive sensing scenes such as multi-base station cooperative sensing, and the positioning of the sensing target can be completed in a low frequency band in multi-base station cooperative sensing.

[0126] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail above in combination with the drawings, but the present application is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge of those skilled in the art without departing from the purpose of the present application.

The base station sequentially analyzes for F(q), first obtains the frequency point value of the first non-zero spectrum value F(q), and then sequentially obtains K-1 frequency points with an amplitude exceeding a preset amplitude threshold compared with the adjacent last spectrum value, totaling K frequency points a k k = 1, 2, …, K; Step D6. According to d k and v k between the relationships In the following equation: The distance parameter of the K perception targets is estimated k The distance estimation between the corresponding perception targets That is, the distance parameter estimation of the K perception targets is completed.
