Description

IRS-based UE position determination method, communication method and system
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication, and in particular, to a UE location determining method, a UE location determining communication method, and a UE location determining system based on an IRS.
Background
In the field of 5G wireless communication, millimeter waves play an extremely important role. However, millimeter waves have a serious drawback in that they are easily blocked by obstacles, resulting in poor wireless communication. In order to solve this problem, there is a thought: a low-cost, passive, reflective and Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (LIS/Large Intelligent Surface/configurable Meta-Surfaces/IRS/Intelligent Reflecting Surface, etc., all expressed as IRS) is added to assist communication in a wireless communication environment. Especially, when the strength of a received signal is too small due to the existence of shielding between a wireless Access Point (AP) and User Equipment (UE) and effective communication cannot be achieved, a channel AP-IRS-UE can be formed by installing an IRS at a suitable position and reflecting the signal at the IRS.
As shown in fig. 1, a direct connection channel between a wireless AP and a UE is blocked due to existence of a blocking area, and cannot effectively communicate with the UE, and a bypass channel between the wireless AP and the UE is implemented through reflection of an IRS, where the bypass channel includes: a communication channel h between the AP and the IRS and a communication channel g between the IRS and the UE, wherein the reflection coefficient matrix of the IRS is theta.
The IRS part is shown in fig. 2. As shown in fig. 2, each small rectangle in the figure represents a reflection unit, and the inner symbol represents the reflection coefficient of the reflection unit. The controller part in fig. 2 has the functions of adjusting the phase shift coefficient of the reflection unit, receiving control signaling, feeding back signals, etc. It should be noted that the structure, distribution and number of reflective units, unit spacing, etc. of the IRS can be customized, and the rectangular uniform distribution structure shown in fig. 2 is only one common structure of the IRS. Symbols within each cell in FIG. 2

Further, the reflection coefficient matrix of the IRS is defined as a matrix

In summary, in the 5G background, in the face of the defect that millimeter wave signals are easily blocked, due to the advantages of low cost, signal reflection, reconfigurable property and the like, the application of the IRS has a very broad prospect. However, in the AP-IRS-UE channel, since the IRS is passive, if the reflection unit on the IRS does not perform proper phase shift, the communication condition of the channel may not perform well or even be usable. In order to ensure the low cost advantage of the IRS, a method is needed that can make the IRS reflection coefficient matrix determinable according to actual conditions, so that the IRS-assisted wireless communication system can effectively communicate.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects of the prior art, the invention aims to solve the technical problem that under an AP-IRS-UE channel, because the IRS is passive, if a reflecting unit on the IRS does not perform proper phase shift, the communication condition of the channel is poor or even cannot be used.
In order to achieve the above object, in a first aspect, the present invention provides an IRS-based UE location determining method, including the following steps:
selecting a preset number of Reflecting Unit Sets (RUS) on the IRS, and activating each Reflecting Unit Set according to a preset time sequence; each reflection unit set comprises M reflection units, and the IRS comprises N reflection units; each reflecting unit set can reflect the electromagnetic signals emitted to the reflecting unit set after being activated; m is more than or equal to 1 and less than N, and M and N are integers; the electromagnetic signal is transmitted by a wireless AP or UE;
each activated reflection unit set selects different code words according to a preset time sequence so as to reflect electromagnetic signals emitted to the activated reflection unit set according to different reflection directions; the code word determines the reflection direction of the reflection unit set; determining a code word when the strength of the reflected electromagnetic signal received by the receiving end is maximum according to the strength of the electromagnetic signal reflected by each reflecting unit set under each code word at the receiving end, and determining channel delay under the code word, so as to determine the distance between each reflecting unit set and the UE according to the channel delay determined by the code word when the strength of the reflected electromagnetic signal corresponding to each reflecting unit set is maximum;
and determining the position of the UE according to the position of each reflection unit set on the IRS and the distance between each reflection unit set and the UE.
It should be noted that: the "activated" state of a collection of reflective elements or reflective elements can be individually controlled. When the reflection unit set or the reflection unit is activated, the reflection unit set or the reflection unit reflects signals according to the corresponding code word, namely the emission coefficient matrix, and other irrelevant reflection units on the IRS do not reflect the signals or reflect the signals to a position which cannot be effectively received by a receiving end; typically, only one RUS is activated at a time, and multiple sets of reflecting elements or transmitting elements may be activated simultaneously, ensuring no interference, etc.
In an optional example, the method further comprises the steps of:
for each activated reflection unit set, determining the channel time delay corresponding to the code word when the intensity of the reflected electromagnetic signal received by the receiving end is maximum so as to determine the channel time delay corresponding to each activated reflection unit set;
determining the channel length between the wireless AP and the UE corresponding to each reflection unit set according to the channel time delay corresponding to each reflection unit set;
and forming an equation set according to the channel lengths corresponding to each reflecting unit set in the preset number of reflecting unit sets, and determining the position of the wireless AP and the position of the UE.
In an optional example, when the IRS-received electromagnetic signal is transmitted by a wireless AP, a UE receives an IRS-reflected electromagnetic signal;
estimating a location of the UE based on the electromagnetic signals received by the UE.
In an optional example, when the IRS-received electromagnetic signal is transmitted by a wireless AP, a UE receives an IRS-reflected electromagnetic signal;
the UE returns a corresponding feedback signal to the IRS, and the IRS reflects the feedback signal to the wireless AP;
and estimating the position of the UE according to the strength of the feedback signal reflected by the IRS received by the wireless AP or the strength information of the UE receiving signal carried by the IRS.
Specifically, the strength information of the AP-IRS-UE channel may be UE detection, and then the detection result is sent to the AP, or may be detected by the AP.
In an alternative example, when the electromagnetic signal reflected by the IRS is transmitted by the UE, the UE transmits the electromagnetic signal by means of beam scanning or an omnidirectional antenna;
the IRS reflects an electromagnetic signal which is transmitted to the IRS by the UE;
and estimating the position of the UE according to the strength of the electromagnetic signals reflected by the IRS received by the wireless AP.
Specifically, the calculation of the estimated UE position may be performed by any of the UE, the IRS, or the wireless AP. Specifically, the following conditions can be included: first, the UE calculates the position: in the case of AP transmitting signals, UE receives 'signals transmitted by AP and reflected by IRS' and detects the signal intensity to further obtain distance information, and the UE position can be calculated by combining the IRS transmitted to the UE by the AP and the RUS position information thereof; in the case of UE transmitting signal, AP may detect signal strength and feed back to UE, and IRS may send location information of RUS to UE, and UE may calculate UE location. Secondly, the AP calculates the position: in the case of AP transmitting signals, UE receives the signals, detects the signal intensity and feeds back the signal intensity to the AP, and the AP calculates the position of the UE by combining the position information of the RUS and the distance information derived from the signal intensity; in the case of UE transmitting signal, AP detects signal strength, IRS sends RUS location information to AP, and AP can calculate UE location. Thirdly, IRS calculates the position: in the case of AP signal transmission, UE detects the signal intensity and feeds back the signal intensity to AP, and then the AP feeds back the signal intensity to IRS (or the UE directly feeds back the signal intensity to IRS), and the IRS calculates the position of the UE according to the position information of the RUS and the received signal intensity information (distance information can be deduced); in the example of the UE transmitting signals, the AP detects the signal strength and sends the signal strength to the IRS, and the IRS combines the location information of the RUS to determine the location of the UE.
In an alternative example, the channel delay under the codeword when the strength of the reflected electromagnetic signal received by the receiving end is maximum is determined by a wideband delay estimation, RToF or ToF algorithm.
In an alternative example, the position of the UE is determined based on triangulation based on the position of each set of reflection units on the IRS and the distance of each set of reflection units from the UE.
In a second aspect, the present invention provides an IRS-based communication method, including:
determining the position of the UE based on the UE position determining method provided by the first aspect;
determining a channel between the IRS and the UE according to each distance between the position of the UE and each reflection unit position on the IRS, and determining a channel between the AP and the IRS according to each distance between the position of the wireless AP and each reflection unit position on the IRS;
and determining a reflection coefficient matrix or vector of the IRS according to the channel between the IRS and the UE and the channel matrix between the AP and the IRS, and realizing effective communication between the wireless AP based on the IRS and the UE based on the IRS reflection coefficient matrix or vector.
In an optional example, the channel g between the IRS and the UE is specifically determined by the following formula:
g＝[g1，...，gN](formula 1)

Rhoap，nIs the path loss between the location of the wireless AP and the IRS nth reflecting element location.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
The technical problem to be solved by the invention is as follows: in a passive IRS-assisted wireless communication system, a scheme capable of determining an IRS reflection coefficient matrix is provided, so that the characteristics of the IRS such as passivity and low cost are guaranteed, the defect of overlarge expense in the prior art is overcome, and effective communication of the wireless communication system is realized.
In particular, the present invention proposes two novel and effective tools:
1、RUS
a RUS is a collection of a certain number of controllable reflection units over a certain area of an IRS. The method has the characteristics of strong flexibility, existence of an 'activated' state and the like, and can realize multiple function definitions according to actual needs, wherein the RUS is shown in figure 3.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the flexibility of the RUS is strong, and the number of RUS in one IRS can be customized; the shape of the RUS can be customized; the number of reflecting units of one RUS can be customized; each RUS may be different; the selection of the parameters of the RUS on the IRS can be preset, can be self-adaptive, and the like. In addition, the RUS exists in an "active" state, which can be controlled separately. When the RUS is activated, a reflection unit on the RUS reflects signals according to a corresponding transmission coefficient matrix, and other irrelevant units on the IRS do not reflect the signals or transmit the signals to a position where a receiving end cannot effectively receive the signals; generally, only one RUS is activated at a time, and a plurality of RUSs can be simultaneously activated under the condition of ensuring no interference and the like.
Furthermore, according to actual needs, a certain number of RUSs with a certain size can be selected on the IRS, and corresponding RUSs are activated according to a certain time sequence to realize signal reflection. In some scenarios, such as position estimation, a certain number of small-scale RUS may be activated in a certain time sequence, which may reduce overhead; different areas can be divided on one IRS, which is equivalent to a plurality of IRSs reflecting signals, so that the flexibility of the IRS is improved, and the like.
2. RUS codebook/codeword
Defining: the RUS codebook is a matrix, denoted
Figure GDA0002917283830000091
Where M is the number of reflection units in the RUS and P is a codewordThe number of the cells; the RUS codeword is each column vector of its codebook W, denoted as
Figure GDA0002917283830000092
The method is characterized in that: the RUS codebook is mainly used for the RUS reflection coefficient matrix determination, and each code word thereof represents a reflection direction of the RUS, because each code word corresponds to an RUS reflection coefficient matrix
Figure GDA0002917283830000101
Therefore, the RUS codebook can be viewed as a set of codewords, or a set of corresponding RUS reflection directions.
The RUS codebook may be generated by a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) method, or may be generated by other methods. And acquiring a corresponding RUS codebook, and selecting a corresponding code word in the codebook as a reflection direction of the RUS according to a certain time sequence according to actual needs after the RUS is activated. In general, the RUS codebook/codeword needs to be used when the RUS is required to find the proper reflection direction. In this scenario, the activated RUS selects a corresponding codeword as a reflection direction according to a certain timing sequence, and the RUS or other components of the wireless communication system selects a suitable codeword as a suitable reflection direction of the RUS according to the detection result.
In a specific embodiment, according to the present invention, a method for determining an IRS reflection coefficient matrix θ in an IRS assisted wireless communication system is provided, where a basic flow of the method is shown in fig. 4, and communication channel conditions are shown in fig. 5 and table 1:
table 1 description of related channels
Figure GDA0002917283830000102
As shown in fig. 4, the communication method based on IRS according to the present invention first estimates the location of the UE, then calculates the estimated channel g of the IRS-UE and the AP-IRS channel h, and finally determines the IRS transmission coefficient matrix or vector θ based on the two calculated channels, and realizes the bypass effective communication between AP-IRS-UEs based on the reflection coefficient matrix.
As shown in FIG. 5, the present invention increases the estimated location of the UE over the conventional IRS-assisted wireless communication system (as shown in FIG. 1)
Figure GDA0002917283830000103
IRS-UE estimates the signal strength H of the channel g, AP-IRS-UEf. The invention passes the signal strength H of the available AP-IRS channel H, AP-IRS-UEfAn estimated location of the UE may be calculated
Figure GDA0002917283830000104
Then, an IRS-UE estimated channel g is solved, and finally an IRS transmission coefficient matrix or vector theta is determined based on the two calculated channels.
In a particular embodiment, the electromagnetic signal reflected by the IRS is initially transmitted by the wireless AP, and in particular: the scheme is a concrete implementation of the basic flow and is an expansion of AP transmitting signals, and the flow is summarized as follows:
under the condition that the position of the user UE is unknown and the AP and the IRS are known, the position of the user UE is estimated (recorded as the position of the user UE is recorded as the position of the UE by the AP transmitting signal, the IRS reflecting signal, the UE feedback signal and the like
Figure GDA0002917283830000111
) Then, estimating the position according to the AP position and the user UE
Figure GDA0002917283830000112
And calculating an IRS-UE channel g and an AP-IRS channel h by IRS related information and the like, and further solving a reflection coefficient matrix theta suitable for the IRS.
The communication scheme of the method is shown in FIG. 6, and the detailed step description is shown in Table 2
Table 2 AP transmit signal scheme steps
Figure GDA0002917283830000113
The selection strategy of the code word in the step 3 has a plurality of schemes:
on the whole, if the number and distribution of units in each RUS are the same, optionally, a suitable code word of one of the RUS is first found, and the code word is used as a common code word for other RUS, so that the overhead can be reduced.
From the details, there are several aspects:
1) as to which party selects the codeword: optionally, if the UE selects the codeword, the UE selects a suitable codeword according to the detection result, and the codeword may be directly transmitted to the IRS or fed back to the AP for indirect transmission to the IRS. Optionally, if the IRS selects a codeword, the UE detects and feeds back related information (channel strength or other feasible indicators under the corresponding codeword) to the IRS, or feeds back the related information to the AP and then transmits the information to the IRS, and the IRS selects a suitable codeword.
2) In terms of the time at which the codeword selection is made: optionally, the codeword selection may be completed after receiving all codeword results of the RUS; or judging whether the available requirements are met or not while receiving the code word result, and stopping code word selection after finding a proper code word.
3) For codeword/codebook sources: optionally, the codebook may be preset inside the IRS; optionally, the codebook/codeword of the IRS is transmitted externally by the AP or the like.
Code word selection criteria: optionally, the codeword with the best channel strength is selected according to RSSI, RSRP, SNR, SINR, RSRQ, RS-CINR, CQI, and the like.
The calculation of the time delay in step 4 is detailed in table 3.
