[0045] like Figure 1As shown, the communication network constructed by the integrated sensing beam scheduling method for multi-base station 5G AeroMACS according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes multiple 5G AeroMACS mobile base stations equipped with 5G AeroMACS transceiver antenna arrays provided on the airport surface. In this embodiment, cooperative vehicles are equipped with 5G AeroMACS transceiver antenna arrays and satellite positioning systems. The cooperative vehicles serve as 5G AeroMACS mobile base stations, and non-cooperative vehicles, aircraft, etc., are used as sensing targets. The cooperative vehicles and sensing targets are used as targets. In the communication network constructed by the integrated sensing beam scheduling method for multi-base station 5G AeroMACS of this embodiment, advanced waveform design technology is used to form an integrated sensing beam (i.e., an integrated sensing beam) pointing towards the cooperative vehicles and sensing targets, thereby achieving efficient sensing of multiple cooperative vehicles and sensing targets on the airport surface. Each cooperative vehicle can transmit and receive the integrated sensing beam, and through precise signal processing, the positioning, identification, and tracking of targets can be achieved. The targets may include cooperative vehicles and sensing targets. The design of this communication network takes into account the complex and dynamic environment of airports, improving system robustness and reliability through optimized signal transmission and processing strategies. Furthermore, the network exhibits excellent scalability, allowing for flexible addition or adjustment of the number and location of 5G AeroMACS mobile base stations (i.e., cooperative vehicles) to meet the sensing requirements of different scenarios, based on the actual needs of the airport. This integrated sensing and beamschewing method for multi-base station 5G AeroMACS provides an innovative solution for airport safety management and operation.

[0046] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the scheduling algorithm framework in the sensing-integrated beam scheduling method for multi-base station 5G AeroMACS provided in the first embodiment of the present invention, when the sensing-integrated network of 5G AeroMACS at the airport surface serves the communication and perception of surface vehicles, since each sensing target is in real-time motion, this embodiment comprehensively considers multiple cooperating vehicles acquiring their own and the sensing targets' position and speed measurements in parallel: Based on the active sensing function of the 5G AeroMACS sensing-integrated mobile base station's Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) wireless system, information such as the relative distance, relative speed, and relative angle between the 5G AeroMACS transceiver antenna array equipped on the cooperating vehicle and the sensing target can be obtained. The relative distance is estimated through signal transmission and reception delay, the relative speed through Doppler frequency offset of the received signal, and the relative angle through phase difference estimation of the received signal reaching the 5G AeroMACS transceiver array antenna. The satellite positioning system equipped on the cooperating vehicles is a vehicle-mounted satellite positioning system, which acquires the absolute position information of the cooperating vehicles by capturing navigation signals broadcast in real time by satellites. The cooperative vehicles can also be equipped with their own speed sensing system, which uses wheel speed sensors and other devices integrated into the control system of the cooperative vehicles to obtain the absolute speed information of the cooperative vehicles in real time.

[0047] refer to Figures 1 to 3 The integrated sensing beam scheduling method for multi-base station 5G AeroMACS provided by the first embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps.

[0048] Step S0 involves providing a cooperative vehicle at the airport, equipped with a 5G AeroMACS transceiver array antenna (hereinafter referred to as the array antenna), a satellite positioning system, and its own speed sensing system, with non-cooperative vehicles as the sensing targets. The absolute position information of the cooperative vehicle is obtained through the satellite positioning system, and the speed sensing system includes a speedometer integrated into the control system of the cooperative vehicle. This speedometer can be a wheel speed sensor. Optionally, the sensing targets may also include aircraft at the airport. The cooperative vehicle configured as described above serves as a 5G AeroMACS mobile base station.

[0049] Step S1: Establish an airport surface 5G AeroMACS integrated sensing communication network based on the cooperative vehicles and sensing targets. The targets include the cooperative vehicles and sensing targets. The number of cooperative vehicles is set to [number missing]. The number of perceived targets is In the current frame of the current round At that moment, the target The true state vector is:

[0050] in, Indicates the index of the target and , Indicates the first The horizontal position of the target Indicates the first The vertical position of the target Indicates the first The horizontal velocity of the target Indicates the first The vertical velocity of the target. Here, the horizontal and vertical directions are mutually perpendicular directions on the plane of the target's motion. The horizontal direction can be, for example... Figure 4 and Figure 5 The x-axis direction in the diagram; the vertical direction can be, for example, Figure 4 and Figure 5 The y-axis direction in the equation. Therefore, we can obtain that, ( As the first The true location of each target, ( As the first The true speed of the target This is the frame number, representing the current frame of the current round. In this implementation, each frame represents a moment in time, and the frame interval can be set as needed. For example, in one example, the first frame can be set. Corresponding to time 0.1s, the second frame Corresponding to time 0.2s, the third frame This corresponds to the 0.3s mark, and so on.

[0051] More specifically, the true state vector of the target can be represented as the true state vector of the cooperative vehicle and the true state vector of the perceived target, respectively. Indicates the index of the cooperating vehicles, and , Indicates the first The horizontal position of the cooperative vehicles Indicates the first Vertical position of each cooperating vehicle Indicates the first The horizontal speed of the cooperative vehicles Indicates the first The vertical speed of the cooperating vehicles, ( As the first The actual location of each cooperating vehicle, As the first The actual speed of each cooperative vehicle; The index represents the perceived target, and , Indicates the first The horizontal position of a perceived target Indicates the first The vertical position of a perceived target. Indicates the first The horizontal velocity of a perceived target Indicates the first The vertical velocity of the perceived target, ( As the first The true location of a perceived target, ( As the first The actual speed of each perceived target. Targets include cooperative vehicles and perceived targets, in... At that time, the first The first goal and the first One corresponding cooperative vehicle; in At that time, the first The first goal and the first Each perception target corresponds to one.

[0052] The above processing yields the true state vectors of all targets at the current frame time.

[0053] Step S2 involves establishing a measurement model, including an active sensing model, a satellite positioning model for the cooperative vehicles, and a speed model for the cooperative vehicles themselves. Measurements are then taken to obtain the measurement set for the current frame. Specifically, a cooperative vehicle's array antenna transmits a signal while simultaneously acquiring reflected echoes from the target (including both the cooperative vehicle and the sensing target). After sampling and downsampling to baseband, the relative distance, speed, and angle of the cooperative vehicle relative to the target are estimated using a transmit / receive correlation method, thus establishing the active sensing model. The cooperative vehicle uses its equipped satellite positioning module to obtain its own position estimate, thereby establishing its satellite positioning model. Finally, the cooperative vehicle uses its speedometer to obtain the displayed speed, establishing its own speed model. Step S2 specifically includes the following steps.

[0054] Step S2.1, Construct an active perception model:

[0055]

[0056]

[0057] in, Indicates the index of the cooperative vehicle and ,symbol Represents the measured value. Indicating cooperative vehicles With the goal The measured value of the relative distance, Indicates the first The horizontal position of the cooperative vehicles Indicates the first Vertical position of each cooperating vehicle Indicating cooperative vehicles With the goal The measured value of the relative velocity, Indicates the first The horizontal speed of the cooperative vehicles Indicates the first The vertical speed of each cooperating vehicle Indicating cooperative vehicles With the goal The measured value of the relative angle, This represents measurement noise.

[0058] Step S2.2: Based on the satellite positioning system equipped in the cooperative vehicles, construct a satellite positioning model for the cooperative vehicles:

[0059]

[0060] in, The number obtained by the satellite positioning system The horizontal position of each cooperative vehicle. The number obtained by the satellite positioning system The vertical positions of the cooperative vehicles. Therefore, the measured values ​​of the positions of the cooperative vehicles can be obtained as ( , ).

[0061] Step S2.3: Based on the speed sensing system of the cooperating vehicle, construct the speed model of the cooperating vehicle:

[0062] in, Indicates the first The speedometers of the cooperating vehicles display the speed. Therefore, the measured speed value can be obtained. .

[0063] Step S2.4: Based on the target reflected echo of the sensing beam emitted in the previous iteration, perform corresponding signal processing and target parameter estimation to obtain the target parameters of each sensing target in the current iteration. The frame contains measurements of position and velocity. For the first iteration, the measured values ​​of position and velocity of the target can be preset.

[0064] Step S2.5: Measurement results are obtained through the constructed active perception model, the satellite positioning model of the cooperative vehicle, and the self-velocity model of the cooperative vehicle. This yields the measurement set for the current frame, including measurements of the relative distance, relative velocity, and relative angle between the cooperative vehicle and the target, the position and velocity of the cooperative vehicle, and the position and velocity of the perceived target. Specifically, based on the position and velocity measurements of the cooperative vehicle and the perceived target, the measurement results for each target are obtained, denoted as the [missing value]. The first goal Frame measurement results , including the The first goal in The measurements of the frame's position and velocity.

[0065] Through the above steps, we obtain the position and velocity measurements of all targets at the current frame time, as well as the relative distance, relative velocity, and relative angle measurements between each cooperating vehicle and all targets.
