The invention relates to an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) assisted multi-user communication sensing integrated (ISAC)
system channel
estimation method based on
radar sensing priori and structured sparsity, and belongs to the technical field of
wireless communication. According to the method, the IRS is deployed to construct a
cascade communication link between the
base station and multiple users, and the
radar sensor is arranged near the IRS to realize
perception blind compensation, so that the problems of communication interruption and
radar blind areas of a traditional ISAC
system in a shielding environment are solved. The core technology content comprises the following steps: revealing the partially overlapped structured sparsity existing in the IRS-assisted multi-user communication process, and providing theoretical support for low-overhead channel
estimation; a typical user + remaining user two-stage channel
estimation framework is provided; an angle information conversion model between the sensor and the IRS is constructed, the problem that angle coordinates of a radar target relative to the sensor and the IRS are inconsistent is solved, and
perception-communication cross-domain
information fusion precision is improved. According to the method, the model design is complete, the
algorithm is reasonable, the
normalized mean square error and
pilot frequency overhead of channel estimation can be remarkably reduced, meanwhile, the radar angle estimation precision is improved, and the method is suitable for a B5G / 6G multi-user ISAC complex shielding scene.
