Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of RIS-assisted communication technology, and more specifically, to a method and system for adaptive optimization of high-speed railway communication. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of fifth-generation (5G) and sixth-generation (6G) mobile communication technologies, the demand for wireless communication in HSR (High-Speed ​​Railway) scenarios is constantly increasing. High-speed railway communication systems need to maintain stable and high-speed data transmission links even when trains are operating at speeds of 300–500 km / h. However, the Doppler shift, rapidly time-varying channels, and frequent handovers caused by high-speed motion pose severe challenges to the stability of wireless links. In high-speed mobile environments, the time selectivity of the channel is enhanced, small-scale fading is severe, and coherence time is significantly shortened. These factors make it difficult for traditional fixed-beam or static channel compensation methods to guarantee system performance. Therefore, researching broadband channel modeling and adaptive optimization methods for high-speed railway scenarios has become a key direction in current communication theory and engineering practice. In recent years, the introduction of RIS (Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface) technology has provided a new approach to the programmable control of communication systems.

[0003] Currently, in the field of RIS-assisted communication research, although a large number of results have proven that RIS has significant advantages in improving signal coverage and increasing system capacity, existing technologies still have shortcomings in applications for high-speed mobile scenarios.

[0004] Existing RIS channel research mainly focuses on enhanced coverage analysis in static scenarios, which is difficult to apply to highly dynamic environments such as trains. Furthermore, most studies on the performance of RIS in dynamic environments are based on computer simulations, and the limited amount of field testing only targets low-speed moving environments. There is a lack of field verification and model correction for high-speed railway scenarios.

[0005] Most current RIS channel models focus on large-scale parameters such as power delay spectrum and path loss, neglecting the role of small-scale fading in high-speed scenarios. They pay insufficient attention to the impact of small-scale fading. Furthermore, existing RIS optimization methods based on deep learning or reinforcement learning rely on long-term stable channel state information for training and inference, which cannot adapt to the rapid changes in channel state in high-speed railway scenarios.

[0022] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-2 The present invention provides the following technical solutions: Example 1, see Figure 1 An adaptive optimization method for high-speed railway communication includes: S1.

Furthermore, it models the small-scale fading characteristics and Doppler power spectrum of each multipath tap in order to accurately describe the time-varying characteristics of the channel.

[0027] Furthermore, S3 calculates the RIS path channel model based on the selected beamforming strategy, and further obtains the integrated channel model under RIS-assisted communication by combining the measured TDL model. The RIS path channel model is a VLoS (Virtual Line-of-sight) path, which can be divided into the incident path channel from the transmitter to the RIS unit, the amplitude and phase modulation at the RIS unit, and the reflection path channel from the RIS unit to the receiver.

[0028] Furthermore, the amplitude and phase modulation at the RIS unit are specifically as follows: S301, The signal arrives at the RIS unit, and the reflection coefficient is adjusted by the amplitude and phase of the RIS unit. for: =A ; Where A represents the amplitude of the reflection coefficient. This represents the programmable phase shift of the RIS unit, the It is constructed using an encoding method, for example, in the case of 2-bit encoding, [0,1,2,3] correspond to... And the encoded sequences of all RIS units are combined into a codebook. The codebook is randomly generated, and each set of codebooks corresponds to a beamforming strategy. The codebook generation is random each time S3 is run. The codebook record for the k-th run of S3 is as follows: .

[0029] Furthermore, the incident path channel from the transmitter to the RIS unit is specifically as follows: S302, Incident propagation distance from the transmitter to the RIS unit for: ,in, This represents the RIS unit in the m-th row and n-th column. This represents the distance from the transmitter to the center cell of the RIS surface. This represents the direction vector emitted from the transmitter. This represents the position vector of the RIS cell in the m-th row and n-th column; According to the incident propagation distance Calculate the incident path channel : ; in, This shows the power radiation pattern at the transmitting end. The radiation pattern of the RIS cell is represented, with its amplitude expressed on a linear scale. Indicates free space path loss. This indicates a phase shift.

[0030] Furthermore, the reflection path channel from the RIS unit to the receiver is specifically as follows: S303, Reflection propagation distance from the RIS unit to the receiver for: ,in, This represents the distance from the receiver to the center cell of the RIS surface.

This shows the power radiation pattern at the receiving end. Indicates free space path loss. Indicates phase shift, This indicates the Doppler frequency shift corresponding to the RIS reflection path. This indicates the corresponding time delay caused by the reflection path.

[0031] Furthermore, the RIS path channel model is as follows: S304, According to the incident path channel The reflection coefficient and the reflection path channel Obtain the RIS path channel model : ; in, This represents the reflection coefficient of the signal after amplitude and phase modulation by the RIS unit.

This represents the impulse response of the virtual line-of-sight channel.

[0033] Furthermore, S4 specifically refers to: Channel autocorrelation function for: According to beamforming strategy and channel autocorrelation function Calculate coherence time : ; Coherence time is an important parameter describing the rate of change of a wireless channel over time. It measures how long the channel remains stable or highly correlated. The shorter the coherence time, the faster the channel changes, and the faster the channel estimation and beamforming results will fail. Especially in high-speed rail scenarios, the high train speed makes the channel coherence time only a few milliseconds or even shorter, and the system must frequently update the channel state to maintain communication stability.

[0034] Furthermore, S5 specifically refers to: Repeat steps S3-S4 one hundred times. Note that the number of repetitions should be set as needed. Each time, a codebook is randomly generated to obtain the coherence time of each calculation. The beamforming strategy corresponding to the maximum coherence time is taken as the optimal beamforming strategy. , ; Optimal beamforming strategy The data is returned to the RIS unit, which then applies the optimal beamforming strategy. The optimization work incorporates coherence time into the RIS beam optimization objective function, and uses the coherence time maximization criterion to solve for the optimal phase matrix of the RIS cell. This improves channel stability from a time domain perspective, rather than just pursuing power gain, and achieves active suppression of small-scale fading.
