Description

Method for operating a communication and perception symbiotic system TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of communication and perception integrated architecture and digital signal processing, and particularly relates to a method for operating a communication and perception symbiotic system. BACKGROUND

[0002] The sixth generation (6G) mobile communication network is expected to realize high-quality wireless connection and high-precision perception. In recent years, with the development of multi-input multi-output (MIMO) radar and large-scale MIMO communication technology, radar systems and communication systems are developing towards higher frequency bands and more antennas. Therefore, the hardware architecture, channel characteristics and signal processing procedures of radar and communication systems tend to be consistent, providing new opportunities for communication and perception integration.

[0003] According to the degree of integration of communication systems and perception systems, communication and perception integration can be divided into two categories: (a) radar communication coexistence; (b) full-duplex communication radar. Radar communication coexistence systems strive to eliminate interference between communication systems and radar systems according to prior information, so there is less modification to the existing system hardware architecture. Full-duplex communication radar systems use the same hardware system to send communication and perception integrated signals, and simultaneously realize communication and perception functions to further improve spectral efficiency and reduce hardware costs.

[0004] However, the above existing radar communication coexistence systems and full-duplex communication radar systems each have their own inherent defects. Radar communication coexistence systems use physically separate communication systems and radar systems, which are costly. And because both separate systems need to actively send their own signals, energy consumption is high and interference between devices is serious. Full-duplex communication radar systems have an unavoidable self-interference problem due to the limitation of transmit-receive isolation.

With pitch angle The sensed echo signal obtained in step S32 is subjected to spatial filtering to form nulls at the angle of arrival of the communication user in the beam diagram, thereby eliminating echo interference from the communication user. Step S46: Rearrange the spatially filtered sensing echo signal obtained in step S45 by column vectorization to obtain y′. r The algorithm sets two sets of values ​​for the azimuth angle of the target relative to the sensing node and the elevation angle of the target relative to the sensing node. It defines the ranges for these two sets and the interval for traversing them. A dimensionality-reduced maximum likelihood estimation method is used, and the two sets are traversed at the defined intervals. The angle value obtained in each traversal is substituted into the formula. Obtain the azimuth angle of the target relative to the sensing node. With pitch angle And calculate the position of the perceived target, where, This represents the value in the set of angles of arrival of the sensed echo signal to be estimated. This represents the azimuth and elevation angles of the sensed target relative to the base station at the previous moment.

The working method of a communication sensing symbiotic system according to claim 6, characterized in that: Step S5 specifically includes the following steps: Step S51: Based on the positions of the communication user and the sensing target obtained in steps S44 and S46, calculate the azimuth and elevation angles of the communication user and the sensing target relative to the base station. Step S52: Feed the azimuth and elevation angles obtained in step S51 back to the base station as prior information to assist in generating the downlink communication sensing integrated signal. Step S53: Determine whether the communication and perception tasks should continue. If yes, proceed to step S1 to perform the next moment's communication transmission and target perception; otherwise, end.
