Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of communications, and more specifically, to a method and system for discrete modeling of small-scale fading channels in holographic MIMO based on NGLQ. Background Technology
[0002] HMIMO arrays physically exhibit a spatially continuous electromagnetic aperture, integrating high-density antenna elements with near-zero spacing within a compact physical space. In this continuous aperture architecture, the wireless channel no longer represents a traditional set of independent discrete coefficients, but rather a continuous spatial function following the physical laws of electromagnetic wave propagation. To enable the communication system to resolve the available orthogonal spatial channels within the physical space and approach the Shannon capacity limit, it is essential to accurately characterize and reconstruct the electromagnetically constrained channel state information in digital baseband processing and system-level simulation. Therefore, constructing a continuous-to-discrete channel modeling method that combines electromagnetic physical consistency with mathematical computability is a core technological prerequisite for realizing and evaluating HMIMO systems.
[0003] To accurately model the propagation characteristics of electromagnetic waves in physical space, existing techniques first characterize three-dimensional far-field small-scale fading as a zero-mean, spatially stationary, and correlated scalar Gaussian random field. By introducing the physical constraint that this random field must satisfy the Helmholtz equation, a continuous Fourier plane spectrum representation method is derived. Furthermore, since the aforementioned continuous channel model cannot be directly applied to discrete baseband processing and simulation in modern digital communication systems, the closest prior art proposed in this invention is a Nyström discretization method based on Gauss-Legend Quadrature (GLQ) (i.e., the NGLQ method), which serves as a means to achieve discretized modeling of HMIMO channels. This closest prior art employs a fixed physical space degree of freedom (i.e., ... ) plus an empirical constant ( The method statically allocates discrete computing nodes and constructs a discrete kernel matrix accordingly. Subsequently, the method performs standard full eigenvalue decomposition (EVD) on the entire discrete kernel matrix and directly substitutes the extracted full eigenvalue system into the Nyström formula for continuous interpolation reconstruction.
[0004] However, in the actual deployment of complex communication systems, the aforementioned closest existing technology has the following two significant objective technical defects: Defect 1: The node allocation mechanism based on physical degrees of freedom lacks scenario adaptability. Existing technologies rely on the physical spatial degrees of freedom of the antenna (e.g., one-dimensional) to allocate the number of discretized quadrature nodes. This mechanism lacks adaptability to actual electromagnetic propagation environments. In engineering, this directly leads to the following two problems: (1) Inability to handle extreme end-fire scenarios: When an electromagnetic wave is incident from an end-fire direction parallel to the antenna array axis, the spatial phase change reaches its global maximum. At this point, the computational degrees of freedom (cDoF) actually required to ensure the convergence of the numerical quadrature spectrum is significantly reduced. Mathematically, the number of degrees of freedom is strictly greater than that of traditional physical degrees of freedom. Existing technologies that rely on physical degrees of freedom for node allocation will result in undersampling, making it impossible to cross the numerical convergence threshold, and directly causing the channel discretization reconstruction model to fail.
[0005] (2) Causing significant computational redundancy in angle-constrained scenarios: In typical base station sector coverage scenarios (such as beams covering only specific elevation angles), the effective incident angle of electromagnetic waves is strictly limited. Existing technologies perform indiscriminate oversampling of the omnidirectional physical wavenumber domain, resulting in a large number of computing nodes being allocated to spatial directions where no signal energy propagates. Since the computational complexity of subsequent kernel matrix eigenvalue decomposition is increasing... increase( In order to calculate the total number of nodes, this non-environment-aware allocation mechanism inevitably leads to a large amount of wasted computing power and redundant system resources.
[0006] Defect 2: Numerical instability and error margin caused by the coupling between the number of nodes and the number of feature truncations. When the autocorrelation kernel function of a continuous channel possesses... When smoothness is achieved, the eigenvalues of the corresponding integral operator exhibit an exponentially rapid decay. Existing techniques have failed to address the issue of the "total number of quadrature nodes" used for numerical integration. "Number of Feature Modes (Number of Feature Modes)" and "Number of Feature Modes" used for final channel reconstruction Effective decoupling is not possible (i.e., a reasonable feature truncation mechanism is lacking). When the system increases the number of nodes to reduce the quadrature truncation error, the discrete kernel matrix will produce values that fall below the hardware machine accuracy (e.g., less than the required value). The numerical noise eigenvalues of the channel model are used to perform Nyström continuous interpolation. The computation process requires division by these near-zero eigenvalues, which directly leads to a severe amplification of numerical noise. Therefore, existing technologies, in pursuing high-precision channel reconstruction, not only fail to achieve continuous convergence of reconstruction errors but are also limited by a significant error floor, severely impacting the reconstruction accuracy and numerical reliability of the channel model under finite machine precision.
[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a stable HMIMO channel reconstruction method based on environmental awareness and prior truncation to solve the problems of wasted quadrature nodes caused by blind node allocation without environmental awareness in the existing NGLQ discretization method, as well as numerical instability and error amplification caused by the lack of feature truncation mechanism in full eigenvalue decomposition. This would enable high-precision, low-complexity, and high-stability continuous aperture channel reconstruction with limited machine accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention integrates computational degrees of freedom with the spatial boundaries of the communication environment, establishing an adaptive GLQ node allocation rule. This method can handle extreme end-fire scenarios that previous methods could not address, and effectively reduces the number of nodes required for GLQ by considering the limited angular range of the incident wave's vertical and horizontal dimensions. Specifically, considering the typical vertical angular coverage range of base stations in current cellular networks... and the angular coverage of the horizontal dimension The upper limit of the number of points required for the x-axis and y-axis will be constrained as follows:
[0029]
[0030] Compared to non-environment-aware node allocation mechanisms, the required number of GLQ points is reduced. Level. Because the computational complexity of subsequent kernel moment EVD is increasing. This exponential reduction in dimensionality effectively reduces computational complexity and significantly improves the computational efficiency of HMIMO system-level simulations.
[0031] 2. This invention innovatively uses the total number of quadrature nodes for numerical integration. Number of feature modes truncations used for channel reconstruction Decoupling is achieved by introducing a preset machine accuracy threshold for control. The extraction of this feature avoids the noise floor amplification effect caused by dividing by near-zero eigenvalues during Nyström continuous interpolation. This dual independent control rule ensures high accuracy and numerical stability of channel reconstruction under limited hardware precision.
[0032] 3. For directional scattering environments lacking analytical closed-form solutions in practical communication (such as vMF mixing models), this invention proposes a numerical preprocessing framework based on NUIDFT. Compared to the method of "numerical IDFT + zero-padding + continuous interpolation", directly performing NUIDFT can eliminate the error margin introduced by continuous interpolation, thereby achieving near-machine accuracy (e.g., MSRE reaching a certain level). The channel reconstruction requirements (on a scale of several orders of magnitude) have broadened the physical and mathematical boundaries of channel simulation.
[0033] 4. Based on the aforementioned high-fidelity, adaptive, and physically universally applicable discretized framework, this invention can be directly integrated as a bottom-level module into system-level wireless communication simulation platforms or hardware channel emulators. The introduction of this model effectively reduces cascade verification errors caused by distortion in the bottom-level channel modeling, affecting upper-level precoding design, channel estimation, and capacity assessment. This provides rigorous model support for the technical evaluation of next-generation continuous aperture antenna systems. Attached Figure Description

[0064] Example 2: Evaluation of numerical integration error in a linear antenna aperture end-fire scenario: This embodiment, as one of the specific application scenarios of Embodiment 1 above, elaborates in detail the end-fire scenario of a linear antenna aperture (such as...). Figure 2 As shown, this invention demonstrates the necessity and technical advantages of using the effective wavenumber domain range and computational degrees of freedom to determine the number of discrete quadrature nodes.
[0065] 1. Physical settings and kernel function substitution in linear antenna aperture end-fire scenario In such Figure 2 In the environment shown, the electromagnetic wave multipath components reaching the target physical aperture are concentrated in the end-fire direction. At this time, the continuous spatial small-scale fading autocorrelation function obtained in step S2, after mapping, takes the following form:
[0066] in, , ; and These represent mappings to the standard integration interval. Normalized dimensionless spatial coordinates of two independent observation points on the antenna (which correspond to any two spatial positions on the one-dimensional linear physical antenna aperture); The normalized maximum spatial angular frequency (or cutoff spatial frequency) is represented by the physical aperture length. With system carrier wavelength The ratio of is determined by , which physically characterizes the maximum spatial phase deflection rate that can be generated when electromagnetic waves propagate along the antenna aperture in an end-fire scenario.
[0067] The above-specific kernel function Substituting steps S3 to S7 of Embodiment 1, the computer device can perform reconstruction to generate a small-scale fading random channel for that specific physical scenario.
[0068] 2. Numerical integration error assessment Based on the resolvability in the end-fire scenario, the numerical integration error using M GLQ nodes in this scenario can be directly evaluated. Its definition is as follows:
[0069] Where, integrand Defined as a kernel function that maps to a standard interval. Its corresponding characteristic function The product of: , represents the entity mapped by the integrand in a continuous integral equation; This represents the specific integrand expression mapped onto the standard region [-1,1], and its physical essence is the product of the spatial autocorrelation kernel function and the spatial response of the feature pattern; Indicates the first The discrete quadrature weight of each Gauss-Legend quadrature node physically represents the integral proportion of that discrete sampling node in the total spatial energy; Indicates that it is defined in the standard interval. The first The coordinates of each Gauss-Legend discretized quadrature node physically correspond to a specific discrete sampling position on the linear antenna aperture. It represents the continuous characteristic function corresponding to the autocorrelation kernel function in the end-fire scenario, which physically characterizes the spatial characteristic patterns that are orthogonal to each other in the confined space channel; In the above formula .
[0070] Based on the definition of the KLD integral equation in step S5, the equation for the end-fire scenario can be derived. The two corresponding characteristic equations are:
[0071]
[0072] In the formula, and These represent two mutually orthogonal continuous feature functions corresponding to the spatial autocorrelation kernel function in the end-fire scenario.
[0073] because and With only a phase difference, this embodiment extracts the integrand. The evaluation is performed using the following expression:
[0074] In the formula, The specific integrand expansion corresponding to the first feature pattern.
[0075] To quantify numerical integration error, this embodiment extracts... Mid-to-high frequency components To evaluate its numerical integration error, the simulation results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown.
[0076] It is important to note that, in Figure 1 In the scenario shown, where the projectile is fired from the end, Therefore, the number of points selected by GLQ on the X-axis must follow the following rules:
[0077] Figure 3 Statistical results show that under normalized different antenna aperture sizes (i.e. The numerical integration errors are all within approximately [missing information]. It begins to converge at a super-exponential rate. L This represents the physical length of the linear antenna aperture.
[0078] The simulation results objectively verify the accuracy and necessity of the GLQ point selection criterion proposed in this invention under extreme end-fire scenarios. Since the existing methods use the following GLQ point selection rules... This method mathematically leads to undersampling problems, making it unsuitable for extreme end-fire scenarios and unable to adaptively adjust based on the vertical and horizontal ranges of the incident wave. This, in turn, proves the irreplaceable nature of the core truncation mechanism of this invention.
[0079] Example 3: Channel Discretization Reconstruction and Accuracy Verification Based on Anisotropic Scattering Scenarios: This embodiment, as another preferred implementation of Embodiment 1 above, elaborates in detail the implementation details and numerical stability of the method of the present invention in a three-dimensional anisotropic scattering scenario that is closer to a real complex communication environment.
[0080] 1. Physical modeling and kernel function numerical acquisition in non-isotropic scenarios: Unlike linear end-fire scenarios with closed-form solutions, the spatial autocorrelation function in anisotropic scattering scenarios typically cannot be expressed analytically. Therefore, this embodiment employs the widely used vMF mixing model in engineering to characterize the spatial angular power spectrum.
[0081] In a preferred embodiment, the system distributes the spherical angular power. Modeling as The weighted summation of independent scattering clusters is expressed as follows:
[0082] in, For the first Positive real-valued normalized weights for scattering clusters (satisfying) ); For the first The vMF distribution function of each cluster is defined as follows:
[0083] In this distribution, and They represent the first The modal elevation and modal azimuth angles of each scattering cluster; The concentration parameter is used to physically characterize the extent of angular power spread of scattered energy around the modal direction.
[0084] Although the power spectral density (PSD) in anisotropic conditions exhibits boundary singularities, it remains strictly integrable and compactly supported in the wavenumber domain. According to the Paley-Wiener theorem, this physical property mathematically guarantees the corresponding spatial autocorrelation function. Still possess The smoothing properties provide a solid theoretical foundation for applying the NGLQ method. Due to the lack of a closed-form solution, this embodiment performs the following numerical preprocessing steps using a computing device to obtain the continuous kernel function required in Example 1: Step A, Wavenumber Domain Mapping and Numerical Sampling: To obtain a continuous kernel function, it is first necessary to construct the angular power distribution defined on a three-dimensional unit sphere based on the aforementioned vMF mixture model. Transform it into an expression on the two-dimensional wavenumber field plane.
[0085] Specifically, the system first introduces a mapping relationship from standard spherical coordinates to Cartesian wavenumber coordinates (i.e., mapping). correspond , correspond , correspond , Let X, Y, and Z represent the wavenumber components of the electromagnetic wave vector along the three orthogonal dimensions (X, Y, and Z) in a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. Then, since actual physical scattering is typically modeled as an upper hemisphere in front of the receiver, this method utilizes the symmetry of the physical field and integral identities to represent the vertical components in the three-dimensional wavenumber domain. Integration along the projection direction eliminates the inconsistencies. This spatial dimension reduction projection operation, which involves mapping first and then integrating, transforms the original three-dimensional spherical model into one that relies solely on two-dimensional Cartesian wavenumber coordinates. The expression is obtained, thus constructing a two-dimensional integral form that defines the continuous autocorrelation function.
[0086] In this expression, the free space wavenumber is introduced. This defines the physical boundary of the propagation spectrum in the wavenumber domain. The integrand of the reduced integral is composed of the vMF wavenumber domain distribution term after coordinate mapping and the geometric attenuation denominator term resulting from the spherical projection onto the two-dimensional disk (i.e., proportional to...). Subsequently, the wavenumber domain of the specific two-dimensional integrand after dimensionality reduction is performed. ) Grid sampling.
[0087] Step B, Inverse Discrete Transform in the Spatial Domain and Mapping to Continuous Kernel Functions: Based on the wavenumber domain sampling points from step A, the discrete autocorrelation function is obtained using the IDFT method. To ensure a high-precision interpolation basis, in and A relatively large number of sampling points are configured on each axis (e.g., preferably set). This involves introducing zero-padding to improve spatial resolution. By performing the inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT), the generated spatial range is limited by... The discrete kernel function data points are obtained. Continuous interpolation (such as cubic interpolation) is performed on the obtained discrete data points to reconstruct the kernel function defined on the continuous displacement coordinates. and Difference autocorrelation function on Considering the size of the target physical aperture is (i.e., absolute coordinates) ,at the same time Its corresponding relative displacement range naturally covers the interval and Therefore, the system will extract the interpolated function from its original generated sampling range (e.g., ...). Strictly truncate to the displacement region of interest. .
[0088] To adapt to the general discretization framework in Implementation Example 1, based on the principle of spatial stationarity, a system is established from absolute coordinate pairs... To the truncated difference autocorrelation function The mapping relationship is as follows:
[0089] in, and Defined in the physical aperture region Any two spatial locations within the range. 、 、 Let X and Y represent the absolute spatial coordinates of any two independent observation points on the surface of the target physical aperture along the X-axis in a two-dimensional Cartesian rectangular coordinate system. and ) and absolute spatial coordinates along the Y-axis ( and ).
[0090] After the above mapping transformation, the obtained This is the continuous autocorrelation function required in step S2 of Example 1. Subsequently, following steps S3 to S7 of Example 1, the Gauss-Legendary quadrature node pairs are used... Discretization is performed to ultimately complete channel reconstruction in non-isotropic scenarios.
[0091] It should be noted that the kernel function obtained above The method has the low complexity of IFFT, but the interpolation operation introduces interpolation error. To eliminate this error, the NUIDFT method can be directly applied to the sampling points in the wavenumber domain to obtain the differential autocorrelation function. Its corresponding The value of directly corresponds to the value of the non-uniformly distributed GLQ quadrature nodes. Subsequently, channel reconstruction in the non-isotropic scenario is completed according to steps S5 to S7 of Example 1. The spatial computational complexity of the NUIDFT-based method is higher than that of the "IFFT + zero-padding + interpolation method," therefore it is more suitable for high-precision channel reconstruction requirements with small antenna aperture sizes.
[0092] 2. Reconstruction accuracy verification and numerical stability To verify the reconstruction accuracy and numerical stability of the proposed algorithm under highly random environments, the system generated 1000 random channel implementations based on the vMF model, and the CDF of the MSRE was statistically analyzed. In the simulation configuration, the number of scattering clusters... obey Discrete uniform distribution, modal elevation angle With azimuth In respectively and A uniformly distributed concentration parameter describing the angular power spread. exist Uniformly distributed within, with each cluster having a weight. Normalized after uniform sampling. Numerical precision was set to... .
[0093] Figure 4 The statistical results show that, when the NUIDFT method is applied and the numerical precision is set to 1, In this scenario, MSRE can stably reach level (i.e.) (The square of the result). This result fully demonstrates the stability and ultra-high accuracy of the proposed method in numerical reconstruction. On the other hand, in simulation scenarios of very large-scale antenna apertures (i.e., large electrical size) that allow for moderate errors, the application of the IFFT-based and continuous interpolation method can significantly reduce computational complexity, thereby enabling the system to achieve a flexible trade-off between reconstruction accuracy and computational efficiency.
