Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, and in particular to a resource collaborative optimization method and device for integrating sensing and communication in a MU-MIMO system. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of wireless communication technology, millimeter-wave and terahertz massive multi-user multiple-input, multiple-output (MU-MIMO) technology has become a key technology for future wireless communication systems due to its abundant spectrum resources in high-frequency bands and the spatial freedom provided by large-scale antenna arrays. As 5G-A / 6G mobile communication networks expand into millimeter-wave and terahertz high-frequency bands, the need for spectrum sharing for communication and radar sensing is becoming increasingly urgent. Integrated communication and sensing technology, achieving dual functionality through a unified hardware architecture and spectrum resources, has become a core research direction for 6G networks.
[0003] In massive multi-user MIMO-OFDM systems, subcarrier allocation strategies are a core challenge in improving ISAC system spectrum efficiency. Traditional approaches typically employ either strict subcarrier partitioning or full subcarrier sharing, but both have significant limitations. The former strictly partitions spectrum resources, allocating independent subcarriers for communication and sensing functions. While this approach can prevent interference between communication and sensing, it struggles to adapt to real-time changes in channel conditions and sensing requirements in dynamic multi-user scenarios, resulting in inefficient spectrum resource utilization. For example, when communication users are sparse, a large number of subcarriers dedicated to communication may remain idle, resulting in wasted resources. Conversely, when communication load surges, sensing subcarriers cannot be flexibly switched to communication use. The latter achieves theoretically maximum spectrum efficiency through full subcarrier sharing, but the randomness of communication data can lead to radar beam pattern mismatch. Especially in multi-user scheduling scenarios, multi-access interference between users further degrades sensing accuracy.
[0004] Therefore, the current synaesthesia integration technology has the problems of limited spectrum efficiency and performance imbalance caused by the rigid subcarrier resource reuse. Summary of the Invention

By jointly characterizing the subcarrier-level beam direction and resource reuse relationship, the communication rate maximization and radar beam matching error minimization are transformed into a multi-objective optimization problem.

The subcarrier reuse strategy is defined with binary variables. The reused subcarriers are screened by beam direction similarity measurement, and the communication-specific resources and communication perception reuse resources in the subcarrier resources are separated.

Through a deep unfolding model, each iteration of solving the communication rate-sensing accuracy trade-off problem is treated as a layer of a deep neural network. Backpropagation is used to optimize the weights and step size to generate a hybrid beamforming matrix.

[0082] To meet the collaborative needs of high-precision environmental perception and high-speed data transmission in scenarios such as intelligent transportation and the Industrial Internet of Things, and to address the problems of limited spectrum efficiency and performance imbalance caused by the rigid subcarrier resource reuse in tele-sensing integration, the present invention proposes a resource collaborative optimization method and device for integrated sensing and communication in a MU-MIMO system, achieving communication-perception collaborative optimization through partial subcarrier multiplexing and layered beamforming design.
[0083] like Figure 1 As shown, a resource collaborative optimization method for integrating sensing and communication in a MU-MIMO system includes:
[0084] S1. Acquire subcarrier resources for sensing and communication;
[0085] S2. Establish a communication-perception performance coupling model. This model transforms maximizing communication rate and minimizing radar beam matching error into a multi-objective optimization problem by jointly characterizing the relationship between subcarrier-level beam direction and resource reuse.
[0086] S3. Based on a multi-objective optimization problem, a perception accuracy constraint system based on partial subcarrier reuse is constructed. The subcarrier reuse strategy is defined with binary variables. The reused subcarriers are screened by beam direction similarity measurement, and the communication-specific resources and communication perception reuse resources in the subcarrier resources are separated.
[0087] S4. Based on the separated communication-specific resources and communication-sensing multiplexing resources, a hierarchical optimization mechanism is determined for the hybrid beamforming architecture. Each iteration of solving the communication rate-sensing accuracy trade-off problem is treated as a layer of a deep neural network through a deep unfolding model. The weights and step size are optimized through backpropagation to generate a hybrid beamforming matrix.
[0088] S5. Allocate subcarrier resources according to the hybrid beamforming matrix.
[0089] Optionally, the present invention first provides a modeling method for a massive multi-user MIMO communication perception integrated system. Consider a broadband MIMO ISAC system with an ISAC base station equipped with a hybrid beamforming architecture and N r The base station uses OFDM waveform to transmit radar and communication integrated signals, and consists of a base station supporting ISAC and M equipped with Nr The user equipment with 1 antenna receives the signal, and T sensing targets reflect the signal so that the base station can obtain their location. The base station is equipped with a large number of MIMO antennas on the transmitting end and adopts hybrid precoding to reduce the demand on the RF chain. On the receiving end, full digital beamforming is considered to facilitate the implementation of spatial diversity and spatial multiplexing technology on the receiving end, and improve signal processing flexibility. Indicates the subcarriers of the system. In order to ensure communication performance, all subcarriers will be used for communication, and only some subcarriers Can be reused as radar function. Define a binary variable r k Indicates whether the kth subcarrier is reused. If r k =1, it means that the kth subcarrier can be reused; if r k =0, it means it is not reused. Using the subcarrier level beamforming strategy, the multiplexed subcarriers are adjusted by the offset of the beam direction to achieve the trade-off between radar and communication performance. Data is sent on each subcarrier separately, and the baseband data stream transmitted on the kth subcarrier is used Indicates that Corresponding to the signal vector transmitted to the mth user, each information symbol constituting it is a random variable and satisfies The data streams on different subcarriers are independent and orthogonal to each other. s N is the number of independent data streams transmitted in parallel for a single user on a subcarrier. s ≤min(N t ,N r ). The signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) is used as a communication performance indicator, so the distribution of information symbols is not restricted. The transmitted signal is expressed as:
[0090] x m [k]=F RF F BBm [k]s m [k],
[0091] in is the frequency-flat analog beamforming matrix that constitutes the hybrid beamforming, and It is a frequency-dependent digital beamforming matrix. The frequency-flat analog beamforming matrix is the analog precoding component used to process wideband signals in hybrid beamforming. Its characteristic is that it does not change with frequency, that is, the same beamforming matrix is used on all subcarriers, simplifying hardware implementation and reducing complexity. The frequency-dependent digital beamforming matrix precodes each subcarrier in the digital domain, which can be optimized according to the channel characteristics of each subcarrier, improving the system's spectrum efficiency and signal quality. RFis the number of Radio Frequency (RF) chains, M≤N RF ≤N t In view of the characteristics of massive multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) with a large number of antennas and RF chains, a partial connection structure is adopted. RF Represented as a block diagonal structure:
[0092]
[0093] in Is an L=N t / N RF dimensional constant modulus constraint vector, i.e. |f i (j)|=1,j=1,…,L; there are no other hardware-related restrictions on the baseband precoder. Due to the high free space path loss, the characteristics of the high-frequency signal propagation environment are characterized by a cluster channel model. The channel modeling adopts the Saleh-Valenzuela (SV) model, and the channel matrix Expressed as:
[0094]
[0095] Where P represents the number of scattering paths, α p is the complex gain of the pth scattering path, a r (θ r,p ,f k ) and a t (θ t,p ,f k ) represent the receiving and transmitting antenna steering vectors, respectively, where θ r,p ,θ t,p and τ p Represent the angle of arrival (AOA), angle of departure (DOA) and delay of the p-th scattering path, respectively. represents the frequency of the kth subcarrier, where B represents the system bandwidth, and f c Represents the system center frequency. The steering vectors of the receiving antenna and the transmitting antenna can be expressed as:
[0096]
[0097] The signal received by user m in the frequency band of subcarrier k can be expressed as:
[0098]
[0099] in, is the channel matrix of user m at subcarrier k, represents the receiving beamforming vector of user m for the kth subcarrier, is the corresponding channel additive white Gaussian noise, In this application, it is assumed that both the transmitter and receiver have perfect channel state information. In practice, CSI can be accurately and efficiently obtained through channel estimation at the receiver and further shared at the transmitter through effective feedback technology. Therefore, based on the received signal model, the spectral efficiency for user m on subcarrier k is expressed as:
[0100]
[0101] The hybrid precoder satisfies P BS is the total transmit power of the base station, is defined as the interference plus noise covariance matrix:
[0102]
[0103] The spectral efficiency of the entire system can be expressed as:
[0104]
[0105] For perception, MIMO radar with OFDM waveform provides a larger virtual array aperture and achieves higher degrees of freedom (DoFs) than traditional phased array radar. Assume that there are T radars of interest to detect targets, with θ t ∈[-π / 2,π / 2], t=1,…,T represents the azimuth angle from the base station to the t-th target. The present invention designs a beamforming strategy to maximize the detection signal power at the target of interest and match the desired transmit beam pattern:
[0106]
[0107] About the covariance matrix design. It is the ideal beam pattern corresponding to the target on subcarrier k, which has a beam width B in the target direction. width A binary vector with 1 in each direction and 0 in the other directions. By finding a suitable R[k], G(θ t ,f k ) can be as equipped as possible with Similar spatial characteristics are expressed as:
[0108]
[0109] stC1:
[0110] C2:R[k]≥0
[0111] C3:R[k]=R[k] H
[0112] Where C1 represents the beamforming power constraint expressed by the covariance matrix, C2 represents the semi-positive definite property of the covariance matrix, and C3 represents the conjugate symmetric property of the covariance matrix. Solving this problem will yield the covariance matrix R[k] that best achieves radar beam alignment. From another perspective, the covariance matrix of the actual transmitted signal on subcarrier k is
[0113]
[0114] Expanded to:
[0115]
[0116] When designing the beamforming strategy, the actual covariance matrix C[k] is made as close as possible to the ideal R[k]. The perceived beam covariance mismatch is expressed as:
[0117]
[0118] The perception function is only This part of the subcarrier is considered, while the other subcarriers are fully used for communication. τ is defined as the perceived beam covariance mismatch, which is used to indirectly measure the degree of deviation between the radar beam direction and the ideal direction.
[0119] Furthermore, the present invention provides a communication-perception coupled multi-objective optimization model and a corresponding transformation method, which simultaneously designs the receive beamformer u m [k], digital precoder F at the transmitter BBm [k], the unit mode part is connected to the analog beamformer F RF and a subcarrier set multiplexed for radar sensing functions To obtain the maximum communication spectrum efficiency and the minimum perception beam mismatch error, it is expressed as:
[0120]
[0121] stC1:
[0122] C2:
[0123] C3:
[0124] The constraint C1 is a partial connection structure constraint, i.e., the analog precoder F RF Belongs to a group of block matrices where each block is a unit modulo N t / N RF dimensional vector, C2 is the base station transmit power budget constraint, and C3 explains that the multiplexed subcarriers belong to a subset of the total subcarrier set. Multi-objective optimization problems often involve multiple conflicting objectives, such as the spectrum efficiency of the communication system and the beam matching error of the perception system. Directly solving multi-objective optimization problems is usually more complicated because it is necessary to consider the trade-offs of multiple objectives at the same time. By converting the multi-objective optimization problem into a single-objective optimization problem, the solution process can be simplified and the problem can be made easier to handle. By assigning importance weights to multiple objectives, the multi-objective optimization problem is converted into:
[0125]
[0126] stC1:
[0127] C2:
[0128] C3:
[0129] Among them, α represents the importance of communication, and β represents the importance of perception. In the collaborative obstacle avoidance scenario of the Internet of Vehicles, it is necessary to prioritize the radar's perception refresh rate of obstacles. In this case, β>α should be set; in the industrial AR quality inspection scenario, the demand for high-definition video streaming is dominant, and α>β should be set. In addition, hybrid scenarios (such as low-altitude inspections by drones) adopt an α≈β balance mode, and dynamically adjust the weights through an online feedback mechanism to adapt to the real-time demand fluctuations of communication-perception. The problem is further transformed into the optimization of communication spectrum efficiency under the constraint of perception accuracy. The larger the beam matching error, the lower the perception accuracy. Therefore, by limiting the beam matching error to ensure that the perception accuracy meets the specific business requirements, the transformed problem is expressed as:
[0130]
[0131] stC1:
[0132] C2:
[0133] C3:τ≤τ0
[0134] C4:
[0135] The newly added constraint C3 is the radar perception performance constraint, which sets a minimum requirement for the alignment of the radar beam with the target on the multiplexed subcarriers to ensure the sensing capability in these desired sensing directions.
[0136] Furthermore, the present invention proposes a subcarrier reuse screening mechanism based on beam direction similarity. The core idea is to dynamically select the subcarriers with the highest beam direction consistency for synaesthesia resource reuse by quantifying the matching degree of communication and perception beams in spatial spectrum distribution, thereby achieving collaborative optimization of spectrum efficiency and perception accuracy. The mechanism first calculates the Frobenius norm difference {τ1,…,τ K}, to characterize the spatial energy focusing deviation between the two in the target direction. On this basis, all subcarriers are sorted in ascending order according to the beam matching error, and the first J subcarriers with the highest matching degree are preferentially selected to form a multiplexing set to ensure that the energy coverage of the multiplexing resources in the direction of the perceived target in the spatial dimension is maximized. J is determined according to the needs of the actual scenario. For example, a larger J is set for scenarios with high requirements for perception accuracy, such as intelligent driving, to improve perception performance. In order to reduce the complexity of system optimization, the mechanism adopts a decoupled design architecture: in the first stage, the system performs beamforming optimization on all subcarriers based on pure communication performance indicators (for example, system communication spectrum efficiency or multi-user weighted combined rate) to generate an initial communication beam pattern; in the second stage, by calculating the similarity measure between the communication beam of each subcarrier and the preset perception beam, subcarriers with high spatial spectrum overlap are selected as the multiplexing candidate set; in the third stage, communication-perception joint beamforming optimization is performed only on the selected multiplexing subcarriers. Furthermore, to address demand fluctuations in dynamic environments, this mechanism embeds an adaptive weight adjustment strategy in the multiplexed subcarrier optimization process. By providing real-time feedback on the perceived accuracy deviation and communication rate threshold, it dynamically adjusts the penalty coefficient for the beam matching error term, thereby establishing a closed-loop control between the rigid constraints of resource reuse and the flexible requirements of performance balance. This mechanism uses beam direction similarity screening to naturally align multiplexed subcarriers in the spatial dimension with the perceived target direction, effectively suppressing the perceived signal-to-noise ratio degradation caused by beam mismatch. The decoupled optimization architecture transforms the combinatorial optimization problem into a low-complexity sorting and subset optimization problem, making the algorithm computationally feasible in real time within millimeter-wave / terahertz massive MIMO systems.
[0137] Furthermore, the present invention provides a hybrid beamforming design method for a communication-aware integrated system based on deep expansion, and develops a multi-objective learning framework based on the projected gradient ascent (PGA) method. This enables efficient updating of {F RF ,F BBm [k]} to simultaneously maximize the communication weighted spectrum efficiency J and minimize the radar beam error τ. For the multiplexed subcarriers, the beamforming design problem is:
[0138]
[0139] stC1:
[0140] C2:
[0141] The importance weight coefficients of communication and perception are changed into one by proportional means, and ω = β / α is set, so the problem is transformed into
[0142]
[0143] stC1:
[0144] C2:
[0145] Where ω can be considered as a regularization factor. In principle, ω should be determined by the maximum beam error. However, here it is considered as a given hyperparameter and iterated in the subsequent depth expansion. For a fixed F RF ,F BBm [k] can be updated in the i+1th iteration by a projected gradient ascent step, i.e.:
[0146]
[0147] in, Indicates R for F RF Find the gradient. Given F RF , F BBm [k] can be updated in the i+1th iteration as:
[0148]
[0149] Afterwards, update F for multiple iterations RF , then update F BBm [k], and Apply weight η so that F RF In the iterative process, BBm [k] keep in sync. Let X represent the number of outer iterations and Y represent the update F RF The number of inner iterations, F RF The update is expressed as:
[0150]
[0151] in and μ (i,j) are the precoder and step size of the jth inner iteration in the i-th outer iteration, respectively, and is the final precoder obtained after the i-th outer layer iteration after completing all inner layer iterations. On the other hand, F BBm [k] Updated as follows:
[0152]

[0213] Deep unfolding is an emerging deep learning method that stems from the need to address the lack of interpretability and difficulty integrating domain knowledge in traditional deep learning models. By combining traditional optimization algorithms with deep learning, it improves model performance and interpretability. In recent years, deep unfolding has been widely applied and developed in various fields, such as image super-resolution, signal processing, and wireless communications. In wireless communications, deep unfolding has been applied to tasks such as signal detection, channel estimation, and beamforming design, providing strong support for the development of 6G technology. Its core principle is to treat each step of an iterative optimization algorithm as a network layer, thereby transforming the optimization algorithm into a deep neural network. Specifically, an iterative optimization algorithm relevant to the problem is first selected. Each iteration in the algorithm is then unfolded into a layer in the network, each containing learnable parameters. These parameters are optimized in an end-to-end manner during training, allowing the entire network to better adapt to the data. In this way, the deep unfolding network inherits the interpretability and domain knowledge integration capabilities of traditional optimization algorithms while also possessing the efficiency and flexibility of deep learning.
