Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to simultaneous transceiver technology, and particularly to a method for suppressing self-interference of a multi-beam simultaneous transceiver array. Background Art

[0002] The multi-beam simultaneous transceiver array supports transmitting and receiving multiple signals at the same time and frequency, significantly improving communication efficiency and spectrum utilization rate, realizing wireless communication with large communication capacity, wide coverage range, and low transmission delay, and promoting the development of the Internet of Everything communication network. However, due to the close distance between the transceiver arrays, multiple high-power signals of the transmitting array will cause serious self-interference to the receiving array, reducing the reception quality of the desired signal, and even causing the receiving channel to saturate and resulting in communication interruption. Therefore, self-interference suppression is a key technology for realizing a multi-beam simultaneous transceiver array.

[0003] Regarding the self-interference suppression method for a single-beam simultaneous transceiver array, the academic community has conducted relatively sufficient research. The self-interference effect is mainly reduced through spatial domain, radio frequency domain, and digital domain self-interference suppression technologies. In order to fully suppress self-interference, multiple self-interference suppression technologies are usually combined to suppress self-interference step by step. However, the existing research does not involve the self-interference suppression method for a multi-beam simultaneous transceiver array. Directly using the self-interference suppression method for a single-beam simultaneous transceiver array in a multi-beam simultaneous transceiver array will result in poor self-interference suppression performance. Therefore, the self-interference suppression method for a multi-beam simultaneous transceiver array is one of the key technologies that urgently need to be studied at present. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a method for suppressing self-interference of a multi-beam simultaneous transceiver array. By combining the alternating iteration algorithm in the spatial domain and the least squares criterion in the digital domain, the self-interference in the multi-beam simultaneous transceiver array is greatly suppressed, the isolation degree of the transceiver array is improved, and wireless communication with large communication capacity, wide coverage range, and low transmission delay is realized.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: A method for suppressing self-interference of a multi-beam simultaneous transceiver array, the method comprising the following steps:

[0006] S1. Mathematically characterize the transmitted signal, coupled channel, received signal, and reconstructed signal of the multi-beam simultaneous transceiver array;

[0007] S2. Optimize the transmit and receive beamforming coefficients in the spatial domain using the alternating iteration algorithm;

[0008] S3. Calculate the reconstruction coefficients of the linear filter according to the least squares criterion in the digital domain.

[0009] S4. Use the transmit and receive beamforming coefficients and the reconstruction coefficients to achieve self-interference suppression in the multi-beam simultaneous transceiver array.

Subtract the reconstructed signal from the beamformed signal, and the received signal is expressed as

[0048]

[0049] Alternately iterate the optimization problems in sub-steps S203 and S204, and update the transmit and receive covariance matrices in each iteration. Stop the iteration when both the transmit and receive beamforming coefficient vectors converge.

It can be found that when directly using the conventional beamforming and least squares criterion in the self-interference suppression method of the single-beam simultaneous transceiver array, the effective isotropic isolation degree of the transceiver array is only 105 dB. Using the proposed self-interference suppression method for the multi-beam simultaneous transceiver array in this patent, the effective isotropic isolation degree of the transceiver array reaches 173 dB. The proposed self-interference suppression method for the multi-beam simultaneous transceiver array in this patent has a much higher effective isotropic isolation degree of the transceiver array than directly using the self-interference suppression method of the single-beam simultaneous transceiver array, verifying that this method has significant self-interference suppression performance advantages.
