Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a millimeter-wave air-to-air beam tracking method, belonging to the field of wireless communication technology. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing application of high-altitude small aircraft in emergency communication relay, long-distance logistics transportation, and border patrol, the demand for high-altitude inter-aircraft communication is becoming increasingly prominent. These aircraft typically operate in the mid-to-high altitude region, between approximately 1,000 and 6,000 meters. Due to the distance from ground base stations at this altitude, and limitations imposed by the Earth's curvature and antenna elevation angles, stable coverage via terrestrial networks is difficult to achieve. While satellite communication offers wide coverage, it suffers from high latency and high cost, making it difficult to meet the requirements for low latency and high throughput. Therefore, direct communication between high-altitude aircraft has become a crucial means of ensuring data transmission.
[0003] High-altitude inter-aircraft communication demands high link stability and transmission rates, typically employing millimeter-wave bands combined with directional beams to achieve high-speed and highly reliable transmission. However, in high-altitude, high-speed motion scenarios, directional beams are highly susceptible to misalignment. Once misalignment occurs, re-establishing beam alignment requires significant time and communication resource overhead, impacting communication performance. Therefore, beam tracking technology is crucial. Existing beam tracking methods mainly fall into two categories: beam training-based and beam prediction-based. The former maintains the link through periodic scanning but consumes substantial time and communication resources; the latter relies on external sensing equipment to locate the aircraft and predict the beam direction, reducing training overhead but requiring additional hardware support, thus increasing system cost and complexity.
[0004] In recent years, with the development of integrated communication and sensing technologies, professionals have attempted to utilize the echo of communication signals to achieve sensing functions, thereby assisting beam tracking without introducing additional sensing equipment. This approach can reduce beam training overhead and improve resource utilization. Among existing methods, professionals have proposed using matched filtering to process the echo signal to estimate target parameters. However, this method directly performs matched filtering on the transmitted waveform, which requires configuring a separate sensing processing link, increasing system hardware complexity and energy consumption. Furthermore, due to the poor correlation of the communication waveform itself, the estimation accuracy is limited, making it difficult to achieve reliable beam tracking in highly dynamic scenarios.
[0005] Furthermore, most current beam tracking methods based on integrated communication and sensing employ fully digital antenna arrays to receive echo signals. However, in large-scale antenna array scenarios, demodulating and processing each antenna element individually is not only complex but also places enormous pressure on chip area, power consumption, and heat dissipation management, especially when processing broadband signals in the millimeter-wave band. These issues limit the effectiveness and widespread application value of existing beam tracking methods in direct communication between small high-altitude aircraft. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the problems of high training overhead, high hardware complexity, and insufficient target parameter estimation accuracy in large-scale antenna array beam tracking under high dynamic scenarios, this invention proposes a millimeter-wave air-to-air beam tracking method based on integrated communication and sensing.
[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above problems is as follows: The steps of the present invention include: Step 1: The transmitting end establishes a communication link with the receiving end through initial beam training, and in the process, obtains the angle between the fixed flight directions of both parties and the initial state variables; Step 2: Based on the relative motion model of the high-altitude aircraft, the transmitting end uses an unscented Kalman filter to predict the system state variables and obtain the predicted values of the state variables at the next moment. Step 3: The transmitting end transmits a communication signal to the receiving end based on the predicted state variables. The communication signal is received by the receiving end for normal communication transmission, and is also reflected by the receiving end to form a sensing echo, which is received by the interleaved hybrid antenna array of the transmitting end for subsequent sensing processing. Step 4: The transmitting end demodulates the received echo signal into the symbol domain and estimates the target's elevation and azimuth angles by combining the subarray correlation characteristics of the interleaved hybrid antenna array.

On the one hand, it is received by the receiving end for service transmission, and on the other hand, it is reflected by the surface of the receiving end to form a sensing echo. Step 304: The receiver at the transmitting end uses an interleaved hybrid antenna array to receive and converge the echo signals to obtain a received data vector for subsequent sensing processing.
[0010] Furthermore, step 304 specifically includes: The receiver's antenna array size is consistent with that of the transmitting antenna, employing an interleaved subarray structure, dividing the uniform planar antenna array into...

[0011] Furthermore, step 4 specifically includes: Step 401: Remove the cyclic prefix from the received signal of each subarray and perform matched filtering. Sample the signal according to the symbol time slot and subcarrier interval to obtain the time-frequency domain symbol. Then map the signal to the time-delay-Doppler symbol domain through the Sine Fourier transform to obtain the relationship between the received symbol and the transmitted symbol. Step 402: Rearrange the received symbols in the same time slot into a matrix according to the subarray dimension, where each column corresponds to a received symbol of a subarray; Step 403: Divide the symbol field receiving matrix into subarrays, perform cross-correlation operations on the column vectors of adjacent subarrays along the x-axis and z-axis respectively, and then accumulate them; Step 404: Extract the cross-correlation parameters and calculate the estimated values of the pitch and azimuth angles.
[0012] Furthermore, step 5 specifically includes: Step 501: Construct a digital merging vector based on the angle estimate obtained in Step 4; Step 502: Based on the symbol domain input-output model and the characteristics of the Dirichlet kernel, define the phase correction term; perform a two-dimensional cross-correlation between the received data and the transmitted symbols to form the time delay-Doppler cumulative statistics; Step 503: Find the maximum value of the time delay-Doppler cumulative statistic, and use its corresponding index as the estimate of time delay and Doppler. Convert the raster index into time delay and Doppler frequency shift.
[0013] Furthermore, step 6 specifically includes: Step 601: Establish an observation model based on the estimated values of elevation and azimuth obtained in Step 4 and the estimated values of time delay and Doppler shift obtained in Step 5; Step 602: Based on the predicted state variables and covariance matrix, generate the following using Cholesky decomposition: One Sigma point; Step 603: Substitute each Sigma point into the observation model to generate the predicted values of the observed variables, the predicted covariance matrix, and the state-observation cross-covariance matrix; Step 604: Calculate the Kalman gain and update the state variables and covariance matrix at the current time step.

The horizontal axis represents the observation time slot, and the vertical axis represents the elevation and azimuth angles. The solid line represents the tracking result of the proposed scheme, and the dashed line represents the actual trajectory. As can be seen from the figure, the proposed scheme can track angles very well, thus providing effective assurance for the stability of the communication link.
[0024] Figure 4a , 4bThe figure compares the root mean square errors (RMSEs) of the proposed scheme with those relying solely on observation or those relying solely on angle tracking in terms of elevation and azimuth angles. The horizontal axis represents the transmit power, and the vertical axis represents the RMSEs of elevation and azimuth angles.
