Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of wireless mobile communications and relates to multi-user multi-input multi-output transmission in deep learning and high-speed rail scenarios, and more specifically to a geographically-based high-speed rail mobile communication 6G fully isolated network uplink transmission method and system. [Background technology]

[0002] With the rapid development of railway systems, high-speed train communication is attracting widespread attention. Fifth-generation mobile networks (5G) achieve significant performance improvements through large-scale multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) joint precoding designs, maximizing diversity and multipath gain. However, at high mobility, channels degrade in various aspects such as Doppler frequency offset (DFO), reduced coherence time, and phase noise, significantly reducing the performance of high-speed railway communication systems. Furthermore, because 5G uses higher frequency bands, handovers between base stations become more frequent in high-speed mobile scenarios.

[0003] Conventional solutions for Long-Term Evolutionary Technology (LTE-R) in rail networks plan to use more frequent pilot transmissions and channel status information (CSI) feedback. This leads to the consumption of large amounts of time-frequency resources, and furthermore, feedback delays become more severe in high-speed mobile scenarios, making it difficult to obtain accurate CSI even when frequent pilots are used for channel estimation.

[0004] Sixth-generation (6G) mobile communication networks are expected to offer more flexible resource allocation and improve the user experience. In "A Fully-Decoupled RAN Architecture for 6G Inspired by Neurotransmission," Academician Yu Quan and colleagues proposed a 6G fully decoupled radio access network (FD-RAN) architecture that separates conventional base stations into up-uplink base stations (UBS), down-uplink base stations, and control base stations. FD-RAN has significant advantages in high-speed rail communication systems. On the one hand, since all control plane signals are transmitted by the control base station, the amount of control information data is small, allowing the control base station to cover a wider area using lower frequency bands, which can significantly reduce handover overhead. On the other hand, FD-RAN employs a geographic location-based feedback-free transmission solution. This solution not only mitigates the negative effects of channel changes and resource overhead, but also avoids feedback delays through location prediction, and since the train's track is fixed, the train's position can be easily predicted in advance. However, determining appropriate precoding from location information alone remains difficult. Furthermore, considering the multiple mobile relays (MRs) installed on the train, a joint precoding design is required because a multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) scenario needs to be utilized. Additionally, to conserve more pilot resources, it is difficult to use the real-time channel estimated by the pilot for signal reception at the base station.

[0005] As described above, the problems with conventional technologies are as follows: (1) Conventional pilot-based channel estimation incurs significant resource overhead in high-speed rail scenarios, and feedback delays make it difficult for the transmitter to obtain real-time channel information. (2) In fully isolated 6G networks, large feedback delays caused by hardware isolation and isolation architectures significantly degrade the performance of transmission methods that rely on existing feedback mechanisms. [Overview of the Initiative] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0006] Objective of the Invention: The objective of the present invention is to provide a geolocation-based high-speed rail mobile communication 6G fully isolated network uplink transmission method and system that, instead of the conventional channel estimation and channel feedback process, can directly select a precoding based on the geolocation of a train by fitting the mapping relationship between the geolocation of the train and the precoding using deep learning. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives of the invention, the technical solutions employed in this invention are as follows: A geographic location-based high-speed rail mobile communication 6G fully isolated network uplink transmission method is Step 1 involves performing pure line-of-sight channel mapping based on the geographical location of the train and each uplink base station, and using this as channel estimation to perform joint reception processing for secondary merging of uplink signals. Step 2 involves designing a deep neural network that takes pure line-of-sight channel information mapped between a train and an uplink base station as input and outputs multi-user joint precoding information satisfying certain modulus constraints, designing the loss function of the deep neural network according to the system optimization goal, and performing data transmission using the precoding output by the deep neural network. Step 3 involves training a deep neural network offline using the historical channel data of the sample at each location, and updating the parameters until convergence occurs. The method includes step 4, which involves inputting a line-of-sight channel corresponding to the train position during the actual deployment phase, outputting joint precoding at the corresponding position using a deep neural network, thereby achieving feedback-free transmission.

[0008] Furthermore, in this scenario, we assume there are L base stations providing service to K train mobile relays, and the actual channel between the mobile relay on the kth train and the lth uplink base station is H kl Therefore, the pure line-of-sight channel mapping relationships are as follows:

[0025] The geographic location-based high-speed rail mobile communication 6G fully isolated network uplink transmission method disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention mainly comprises the following steps:

[0026] Step 1: Perform pure line-of-sight channel mapping based on the geographical location of the train and each uplink base station, and use this as channel estimation to perform joint receive processing for secondary merging of uplink signals.

[0027] Step 2: Design a deep neural network that takes pure line-of-sight channel information mapped between the train and the uplink base station as input and outputs multi-user joint precoding information that satisfies certain modulus constraints. Design the loss function of the deep neural network according to the system optimization goal, and perform data transmission using the precoding output by the deep neural network.

[0028] Step 3: Use the historical channel data of the samples at each location to train the deep neural network offline and update the parameters until convergence occurs.

[0029] Step 4: In the actual deployment phase, a pure line-of-sight channel corresponding to the train position is input, and a deep neural network outputs joint precoding at the corresponding position, thereby achieving feedback-free transmission.

[0030] The specific steps of an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the high-speed rail communication scenario shown in Figure 1. Assume that the uplink base station and the mobile relay are located on the same plane, and that there are L base stations providing service to K train mobile relays, and that the actual channel between the mobile relay on top of the k-th train and the l-th uplink base station is H kl Therefore, the pure line-of-sight channel mapping relationships are as follows:

[0041] The network training process is shown in Figure 2. This process converges to minimize the loss function, finding the optimal solution to the optimization problem—that is, the precoding that maximizes the sum of the system's spectral efficiency—and thereby enabling the design of a channel-information feedback-free, geographically-based precoding. The convergence curve during network training is shown in Figure 3. This shows that the network can complete convergence within 20 iterations, indicating that it requires few computing resources during the training process.

[0042] To make this embodiment more intuitive and to compare the advantages and disadvantages of the FD-RAN architecture with other architectures, Figure 4 shows a schematic comparison of simulation results of the spectral efficiency of high-speed rail relays under different architectures. The results show that small cell performance is inferior to the FD-RAN structure because large inter-relay interference cannot be eliminated in individual signal reception. Compared to cellular networks, higher spectral efficiency can be achieved when the train is close to a cellular base station. However, spectral efficiency is lower at the cellular end. This demonstrates that the FD-RAN architecture in this embodiment can provide stable and high spectral efficiency in high-speed rail communications. A computer system disclosed in one embodiment of the present invention includes memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in memory and operable on the processor, wherein the computer program is loaded onto the processor to implement the steps of the high-speed rail mobile communication 6G fully isolated network uplink transmission method based on geographic location information relating to the steps described above.
