Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and more particularly to a robust beam focusing and nulling method for a communication and perception integrated system. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of wireless communication technology, the complexity and diversity of communication networks are constantly increasing, and the requirements for communication system performance and reliability are also increasing. However, modern communication systems often face a variety of complex interference sources, such as adjacent-channel interference, co-channel interference, and other non-ideal signals. These interference signals seriously affect communication quality, degrading system stability and user experience. To effectively suppress interference and improve channel capacity and communication quality, beamforming technology, due to its efficient directional transmission capabilities, has been widely used.

[0003] Beamforming technology is a technique that forms a beam with enhanced signals in a specific direction by manipulating the signal parameters (such as phase and amplitude) of multiple sensors or antenna arrays. Its core goal is to suppress interference signals from non-target directions and improve system efficiency by transmitting or receiving signals in a directional manner. Existing beamforming methods rely primarily on accurately estimating the target and interference directions to achieve optimized signal processing. However, in complex environments, due to channel uncertainty, device noise, and hardware errors, direction estimation often contains errors, resulting in a performance degradation of traditional beamforming technology.

[0004] Robust beamforming technology optimizes the robustness of the beam based on traditional beamforming technology. The diagonal loading method is one of the most widely used robust beamforming algorithms. By adding a proportional unit matrix to the array signal covariance matrix, it can effectively suppress steering deviation, but the diagonal loading factor is difficult to determine. The eigenspace method projects the assumed steering vector into the signal and interference subspace to estimate the true steering vector. However, it requires prior information such as the assumed desired signal steering vector and the number of interfering signals, and its performance degrades severely in low signal-to-noise ratio environments.

[0005] Prior art discloses a robust beamforming method for integrated radar and communication, taking into account channel error and angle error estimation. An objective function for maximizing the SINR of the radar output signal is constructed to solve the maximization beamforming optimization problem. Robust user quality of service constraints are also given. The robustness constraints in the beamforming optimization problem are simplified by applying existing criteria for solving the residual modulus minimax problem and existing linear fractional programming principles, thereby improving the robustness of the beamforming. However, this solution does not impose range constraints on the uncertainty of the target and interference directions, resulting in a significant impact of the direction estimation error on the received signal-to-noise ratio. An alternating optimization method is used to solve the transmit and receive beamforming vectors, and second-order cone programming is combined to transform the beamforming optimization problem into a convex constraint problem. This results in high computational complexity and lacks constraints on beam flatness, resulting in poor stability of the formed beam. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the problems of current robust beamforming methods being sensitive to directional estimation errors, having high computational complexity, and having poor beam stability, the present invention proposes a robust beam focusing and nulling method for integrated communication and perception systems, which improves the tolerance of directional error estimation, improves beam stability by utilizing flatness constraints, and improves computational efficiency by utilizing semidefinite relaxation and convex optimization tools, thereby reducing technical complexity.

The base station and the communication user are respectively equipped with N R and N T A uniform linear array of receiving antennas;

[0110] Assume that the direction of the communication user relative to the base station antenna is θC , the jammer's direction relative to the base station antenna is θ I , then the total signal y received by the base station is the superposition of the uplink signal transmitted by the communication user to the base station and the interference signal transmitted by the jammer to the base station, and the expression is:

[0177] Example 3

[0178] The base station of the integrated communication and perception system is equipped with 128 antennas, and the direction of the communication user relative to the base station antenna is θ c=0°, the jammer's direction relative to the base station antenna is θ I =60°, the required enhancement degree of the enhanced communication signal is Γ C = 0dBW, the required suppression degree of the interference signal is Γ I =-70dBW, since the estimated information is imperfect, the communication angle range and interference angle range are taken as Θ C =[-32°,-28°], Θ I = [59°, 61°], the discretization angle interval is 0.1°, α = 0.9, β = 0.9, and the robust beamforming pattern is drawn using the robust beam focusing and nulling method proposed in this invention. Figure 3 , we can see that the beam pattern drawn by this solution is flat within the communication direction, but has a flat "dent" in the interference direction. This ensures that even when errors exist in the system, the received signal can still have good quality.

[0179] The beamforming pattern drawn using the existing background technology is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, it can be seen that it cannot achieve a flat range in the communication direction and the interference direction, so when there is an error in the system, it does not have good communication quality.

[0180] Example 4

[0181] The base station of the integrated communication and perception system is equipped with 128 antennas, and the interference and noise power are set to Γ C =0dBW, Γ I =-70dBW, the communication angle range and interference angle range are Θ C =[-32°,-28°], Θ I =[59°,61°], the discretization angle interval is 0.1°, α=0.9, β=0.9; the real communication direction is randomly set to have a mean of -30° and a variance of 2°, and the real interference direction is set to have a mean of 60° and a variance of 1°, and 100 random experiments are performed.
