Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wireless communication network technology, and more specifically to an reachability and rate optimization method based on stacked smart metasurfaces in decellularized networks. Background Technology

[0002] As wireless communication technology evolves towards ultra-high reliability and low latency, high-mobility communication environments such as high-speed rail, low-altitude drones, and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) networks place higher demands on system transmission performance. The high-speed movement of mobile terminals leads to severe Doppler spread and rapidly time-varying channel characteristics in communication links. Although orthogonal time-frequency-space (OTFS) modulation technology can transform rapidly time-varying channels into quasi-static channels in the delay-Doppler domain, and decellularized massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) architectures can improve coverage gain through distributed deployment of access points (APs), the combined system still requires more refined spatial beamforming techniques to further explore the potential of system achievable speeds when dealing with extreme mobile environments.

[0003] To enhance signal processing capabilities, stacked smart metasurfaces (SIMs) can be deployed at the AP (Analog Access Point) to achieve complex spatial beamforming in the analog domain using the diffraction cascade of their multilayer electromagnetic units. However, while the introduction of SIMs improves system performance, it also brings severe optimization challenges. Due to the high-dimensional phase shift search space introduced by their multilayer structure, and the strong coupling non-convex constraints between the phase shifts of each layer, the reachability and rate of the system exhibit extremely high non-convexity as a function of phase shift.

[0004] Currently, phase shift optimization for SIMs often employs greedy algorithms or block-based iterative optimization methods. However, when dealing with multi-layered cascaded physical models and stringent phase shift modulus constraints, existing methods incur significant computational overhead and cannot achieve the desired improvement in system achievable speeds in high-speed mobile decellularization environments. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an reachability and rate optimization method based on stacked smart metasurfaces in decellularized networks, in order to solve the problem that the existing technology has high computational overhead and cannot achieve the improvement of system reachability and rate in high-speed mobile decellularized communication environments.

[0006] A method for optimizing reachability and rate in decellularized networks based on stacked smart metasurfaces includes:

[0007] Step S1: Deploy multiple access points in a high-speed mobile environment to build a decellularized network architecture, and configure multi-layer cascaded stacked smart metasurfaces at the transmitter of the access points. By adopting orthogonal time-frequency control technology at the transmitter, an end-to-end wireless transmission link system is established. The system is used to obtain a quasi-static channel in the time-delay-Doppler domain.

[0008] Step S2: Based on the system established in step S1, firstly, based on the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction theory, the propagation matrix between the stacked smart metasurface layers is obtained. Then, based on the propagation matrix and the phase shift matrix of each metasurface layer, the total equivalent response operator of the stacked smart metasurface is constructed. Finally, based on the total equivalent response operator and the time delay-Doppler domain transform operator, the system equivalent channel matrix is ​​constructed.

[0009] Step S3: Based on the equivalent channel matrix, using channel statistical characteristics and matrix algebraic transformation, derive a closed-form expression for the system achievable sum rate with respect to the phase shift matrices of each layer of the stacked smart metasurface at all access points. Use this closed-form expression as the objective function. Then, with the goal of maximizing the system achievable sum rate, map all the phase shift parameters of the stacked smart metasurface to be optimized to a complex domain multidimensional torus Riemannian manifold that satisfies the unit modulus constraint.

[0010] Step S4: Calculate the Euclidean gradient of the objective function with respect to the phase shift parameters to be optimized using the closed expression, and project it onto the Riemann tangent space to obtain the Riemann gradient. Then, use the Riemann gradient to perform a collaborative update in the tangent space, and remap the updated parameters to the Riemann manifold through a shrinking mapping. After completing the phase shift optimization through iterative loops, configure the finally obtained optimal phase shift to each layer of stacked smart metasurfaces to achieve an improvement in reachability and speed in a cellular network communication environment.

[0011] The reachability and rate optimization method based on stacked smart metasurfaces in decellularized networks provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] This invention transforms the fast time-varying channel in high-speed mobile environments into a quasi-static channel in the time-delay-Doppler domain by deploying a SIM at the access point and combining it with OTFS modulation technology. This effectively resists Doppler spread and lays the foundation for physical layer signal processing. Then, based on Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction theory, a total equivalent response operator is constructed by stacking the propagation matrix between smart metasurface layers and the phase shift matrix of each metasurface layer. Based on the total equivalent response operator and the time-delay-Doppler domain transformation operator, the system's equivalent channel matrix is ​​constructed. Finally, a closed-form expression for the system's achievable sum rate with respect to the phase shift matrices of each SIM layer at all access points is derived. An analytical mapping relationship between phase shift parameters and system performance was established. Furthermore, with the optimization objective of maximizing the system reachability and rate, the phase shift was mapped to a complex multidimensional torus Riemannian manifold. The analytical gradient of the objective function was projected and iteratively updated in the tangent space, ensuring that the phase shift configuration always satisfies the unit modulus physical constraint under non-convex constraints. This invention fully leverages the multi-layer physical space processing capability of SIM and the anti-Doppler diversity characteristics of OTFS. Through low-overhead manifold gradient optimization, it can effectively improve the system reachability and rate in high-speed mobile decellular communication environments while reducing computational overhead.

[0017] Step S1: Deploy multiple access points in a high-speed mobile environment to build a decellularized network architecture, and configure multi-layer cascaded stacked smart metasurfaces at the transmitter of the access points. By adopting orthogonal time-frequency control technology at the transmitter, an end-to-end wireless transmission link system is established.

[0019] Step S2: Based on the system established in step S1, the propagation matrix between the stacked smart metasurface layers is first obtained based on Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction theory. Then, based on the propagation matrix and the phase shift matrix of each metasurface layer, the total equivalent response operator of the stacked smart metasurface is constructed. Finally, based on the total equivalent response operator and the time delay-Doppler domain transform operator, the system equivalent channel matrix is ​​constructed.

[0020] Specifically, step S2 includes:

[0027] Next, the propagation matrix and the phase shift matrix are concatenated to construct the total equivalent response operator of the stacked smart metasurface, expressed as:

Layer and First Propagation matrix between layers Indicates the first The stacked smart metasurface of the access point. Layer and First Propagation matrix between layers Indicates the first The propagation matrix between the first and second layers of the stacked smart metasurface with access points;

[0030] Finally, construct from the first The end user to the first The system equivalent channel matrix of each access point :

For the first The propagation matrix from the first layer of the stacked smart metasurface to the surface of the access points. This is the conjugate transpose operator.

Indicates the first Stacked smart metasurfaces at each access point This represents the Kronecker product operation.

[0033] Step S3: Based on the equivalent channel matrix, using channel statistical characteristics and matrix algebraic transformation, derive a closed-form expression for the system achievable sum rate with respect to the phase shift matrices of each layer of the stacked smart metasurface at all access points. Use this closed-form expression as the objective function. Then, with the goal of maximizing the system achievable sum rate, map all the phase shift parameters of the stacked smart metasurface to be optimized to a complex domain multidimensional torus Riemannian manifold that satisfies the unit modulus constraint.

[0034] First, combining step S2, the total equivalent response operator and spatial channel statistical characteristics are obtained. Then, using a large-scale fading decoding method, the expression for the system signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SIR) with respect to the phase shift matrices of all SIM layers is derived, specifically:

[0037] Furthermore, by incorporating the system bandwidth, a closed-form expression for the system achievable sum rate with respect to the phase shift matrices of each layer of the stacked smart metasurface at all access points is obtained. for:

[0038]

[0039] in, This refers to the system bandwidth.

[0040] Use this closed expression as the objective function, and then apply it to all layers of the SIM. For each element-matrix atom, construct a complex-domain multidimensional torus manifold that satisfies the unit modulus constraint. The phase shift control range of all SIMs is strictly limited within the manifold, wherein, The dimension is The complex field space, express Each phase shift element is distributed on the unit circle of the complex plane.

[0041] Step S4: Calculate the Euclidean gradient of the objective function with respect to the phase shift parameters to be optimized using the closed expression, and project it onto the Riemann tangent space to obtain the Riemann gradient. Then, use the Riemann gradient to perform a collaborative update in the tangent space, and remap the updated parameters to the Riemann manifold through a shrinking mapping. After completing the phase shift optimization through iterative loops, configure the finally obtained optimal phase shift to each layer of stacked smart metasurfaces to achieve an improvement in reachability and speed in a cellular network communication environment.

[0042] Specifically, an analytic manifold gradient operator is constructed, and the chain rule is used to calculate the objective function with respect to the closed-form expression. Euclidean gradient Then perform tangent space projection, and... Projecting onto the Riemannian tangent space defined by the phase shift constraints of each layer's atomic atoms, we obtain the manifold gradient. The expression is:

[0043]

[0044] in, To extract the real part operator, for The complex conjugate, It represents the Hadamah accumulation. The calculation is the radial component of the Euclidean gradient perpendicular to the unit circular manifold. This formula ensures that the phase shift update direction is always tangent to the manifold surface.

[0045] Then, the Riemann gradient descent method is used to synchronously perform step updates along the manifold gradient on the phase shifts of all stacked smart metasurfaces. The point in the tangent space is remapped to the complex unit circle manifold using the shrinkage operator so that the updated phase shifts of each layer always satisfy the unit modulus constraint. The value of the updated objective function is evaluated until the performance gain fluctuation between adjacent iterations is within the preset tolerance range or the maximum number of iterations is reached. The iteration is then stopped, and the obtained optimal phase shift is assigned to the meta-atoms of each stacked smart metasurface to achieve an increase in achievable speed in a cellular network communication environment.

[0046] In summary, the reachability and rate optimization method based on stacked smart metasurfaces in decellularized networks described above has the following beneficial effects:

[0047] This invention transforms the fast time-varying channel in high-speed mobile environments into a quasi-static channel in the time-delay-Doppler domain by deploying a SIM at the access point and combining it with OTFS modulation technology. This effectively resists Doppler spread and lays the foundation for physical layer signal processing. Then, based on Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction theory, a total equivalent response operator is constructed by stacking the propagation matrix between smart metasurface layers and the phase shift matrix of each metasurface layer. Based on the total equivalent response operator and the time-delay-Doppler domain transformation operator, the system's equivalent channel matrix is ​​constructed. Finally, a closed-form expression for the system's achievable sum rate with respect to the phase shift matrices of each SIM layer at all access points is derived.
