Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of GNSS positioning technology, and more specifically, to a method and system for enhancing satellite signals through tunnels based on a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS). Background Technology
[0002] With the widespread application of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology, in-vehicle navigation systems have become an important component of intelligent transportation and autonomous driving. GNSS technology provides real-time positioning services through satellite signals, laying a solid foundation for applications such as vehicle navigation, route planning, and autonomous driving. However, traditional GNSS technology faces severe challenges in enclosed environments such as tunnels, mainly manifested as complete signal blockage or severe attenuation, leading to positioning failure or a sharp decline in accuracy. This problem seriously restricts the reliability and applicability of in-vehicle navigation systems in complex urban environments.
[0003] In tunnels and other obstructed environments, GNSS signals cannot directly penetrate reinforced concrete structures, preventing vehicle-mounted receivers from acquiring effective satellite signals. Specifically, when a vehicle enters a tunnel, the satellite signal strength decreases exponentially, interrupting positioning data updates. This signal obstruction problem worsens with increasing tunnel length and depth, potentially causing positioning drift in short tunnels and complete loss of lock-on in long tunnels, posing a significant safety hazard to autonomous driving systems and emergency rescue applications.

[0042] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0043] Example 1 like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for enhancing satellite signals through tunneling based on reconfigurable smart surfaces, including the following steps: S1: Deploy a reconfigurable smart surface RIS array at the tunnel entrance and / or on the tunnel inner wall; S2: Establish a channel model for a tunnel wireless communication network, which includes at least a satellite, a target vehicle inside the tunnel, and the RIS array; the satellite transmits signals to the target vehicle and the RIS array, and the RIS array reflects the signals back to the target vehicle for signal enhancement; S3: Based on the channel model, with the goal of maximizing the minimum transmission rate of the signal, an optimization problem is constructed, and the optimization problem is solved by a preset iterative optimization algorithm to obtain the solution result; S4: Optimize the parameters of the channel model based on the solution results, and perform signal transmission in the tunnel based on the optimized channel model.
[0044] In the specific implementation process, in order to improve the positioning failure and sharp decline in accuracy of existing GNSS vehicle navigation systems (navigation systems using single-point positioning) in enclosed environments such as tunnels due to complete obstruction or severe attenuation of satellite signals, this embodiment proposes a tunnel satellite signal enhancement method based on a RIS array. The core idea of this method is to achieve intelligent relaying and beamforming of GNSS signals by deploying a dynamically configurable RIS array in the tunnel while maintaining system reliability, effectively solving problems such as signal blockage, so as to achieve continuous high-precision positioning in tunnel environments. Specifically, a reconfigurable smart surface RIS array is first deployed at the tunnel entrance and / or the inner wall of the tunnel. Next, a channel model for the tunnel wireless communication network is established. The tunnel wireless communication network includes at least a satellite, a target vehicle inside the tunnel, and a RIS array. The satellite transmits signals to the target vehicle and the RIS array, and the RIS array reflects the signals back to the target vehicle to enhance the signal. Then, based on the channel model, an optimization problem is constructed with the goal of maximizing the minimum transmission rate of the signal. The optimization problem is then solved using a pre-set iterative optimization algorithm to obtain the solution results. Finally, the parameters of the channel model are optimized based on the solution results, and the signal transmission in the tunnel is carried out according to the optimized channel model, ultimately achieving signal enhancement in the tunnel. This method achieves intelligent reconstruction and beamforming of GNSS signals by deploying RIS arrays at the tunnel entrance and / or on the tunnel wall, effectively solving the signal obstruction problem in tunnel environments. This method can significantly improve the positioning performance of vehicle navigation systems in tunnels, providing a more reliable technical solution for applications such as autonomous driving and intelligent traffic management.
