Signal Configuration for Integrated Communication Sensing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In integrated communication and sensing systems, the lack of a unified standard for signal formats leads to inefficiencies and increased complexity in signal processing for receive end devices, as they need to differentiate between communication, sensing, and integrated signals without clear configuration information.
Innovation Solution
The transmission method involves sending configuration information, such as signal waveform, target measurement quantity, or signal sequence information, from the transmit end device to the receive end device to facilitate differentiated processing, improving efficiency and reducing complexity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the receive end device processes signals without unified configuration information, then the system can operate with simpler hardware sharing, but the signal processing efficiency decreases and complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The transmit end device sends configuration information (first signaling) to the receive end device before signal transmission. This preliminary action provides the receive end device with advance knowledge of signal format, waveform, and processing requirements, enabling efficient signal processing without increasing hardware complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The configuration information acts as an intermediary element that bridges the transmit end and receive end devices. It contains metadata about signal characteristics and processing requirements, allowing the receive end device to efficiently differentiate and process various signal types without complex hardware modifications
2Adaptability or versatility
If no unified standard for signal formats is adopted, then system flexibility is maintained, but the receive end device cannot perform differentiated processing efficiently
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adapts signal processing based on configuration information received from the transmit end. The receive end device adjusts its processing parameters and methods according to the specific signal type and requirements indicated in the configuration information, maintaining flexibility while simplifying operation
Solution Approach 2:
The signal processing task is segmented into different processing paths based on signal type identification. The configuration information enables the receive end device to segment and process communication signals, sensing signals, and integrated signals according to their specific requirements, improving operational ease
