Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
In order to solve the technical problem that the conventional direction of arrival estimation method cannot be applied to a large-range signal-to-noise ratio, the embodiment of the invention provides a direction of arrival estimation method and device based on a cascaded neural network, an electronic device and a computer-readable storage medium.
For ease of understanding, an application scenario of the embodiment of the present invention is described first.
The method for estimating the direction of arrival based on the cascaded neural network provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to a receiving end of a wireless communication system. The receiving end can receive signals sent by a plurality of signal sources at the same time, the incident angle of the signals sent by each signal source is usually different when the signals reach the receiving end antenna array, and the receiving end calculates the incident direction angle of the signals when the signals reach the antenna array according to the received signals, namely the direction of arrival estimation.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a method for estimating a direction of arrival based on a cascaded neural network according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the method may include the following steps:
s101: based on the received signals from the plurality of signal sources, a covariance matrix of the received signals is determined.
In the embodiment of the invention, K signal sources are arranged, and the signal from the kth signal source received at the time t is recorded as sk(t), where k is 1,2, k. these signals are directed at the receiving end at different angles U L a (Uniform linear array of Uniform L inceararrarrarray).
x(t)=As(t)+n(t)
Wherein s (t) ═ s1(t),s2(t),...,sK(t)]TIs a signal vector, n (t) represents statistical independent additive white gaussian noise, A represents an array manifold matrix, and x (t) represents a receiving signal of a receiving end.
Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the DOA estimation problem of a signal can be viewed as a mapping problem, with the objective of establishing a received signal x (t) and a direction of arrival angle θ12k,…θK]In which θ iskI.e. the direction of arrival of the signal from the kth signal source at the receiving end.
In the embodiment of the invention, a receiving end can calculate a covariance matrix based on a received signal x (t), the covariance matrix comprises signal-to-noise ratio information of the received signal and direction-of-arrival information of the signal, if the direction-of-arrival is required to be directly obtained from the covariance matrix, a large amount of matrix inversion operation is involved, and the calculation complexity is high. Therefore, the neural network can be adopted to realize the mapping relation between the data vector of the received signal and the direction of arrival angle so as to rapidly solve the direction of arrival angle.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the covariance matrix of the received signal may be calculated based on the following formula:
Figure BDA0002401555190000081
wherein S represents a preset number of sampling signals.
S102: and carrying out eigenvalue decomposition on the covariance matrix to obtain an eigenvalue vector.
In the embodiment of the present invention, after determining the covariance matrix of the received signal, in order to extract information related to the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal from the covariance matrix, eigenvalue decomposition may be performed on the covariance matrix to obtain an eigenvalue vector, and the eigenvalue vector may be used as a basis for determining the signal-to-noise ratio level of the signal.
S103: and converting the elements in the covariance matrix into normalized real vectors to obtain covariance information vectors.
In the embodiment of the present invention, since the covariance matrix is a conjugate symmetric matrix, the upper triangular region of the covariance matrix may include the direction of arrival information of all received signals. However, since the elements in the covariance matrix are complex numbers, the elements in the upper triangular region of the covariance matrix can be real-valued, and used as a covariance information vector, which includes data information in the covariance matrix and can be used as an input vector of the neural network.
Specifically, let r denote the vectorized upper triangular matrix of the covariance matrix, and its construction method is as follows:
r=[R1,2,R1,3,…,R1,N,R2,3,…,R2,N…,RN-1,N]
wherein R isu,vThe elements in the u-th row and v-th column of the covariance matrix R are shown. r is a complex vector that cannot be used directly as input to the neural network, and is therefore converted to a normalized real vector

As covariance information vectors, i.e.
Figure BDA0002401555190000091
Where Real (·) represents the operation of taking the Real part of the complex value, and imag (r) represents the operation of taking the imaginary part of the complex value.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the execution sequence of step S102 and step S103 is not limited.
S104: inputting the characteristic value vector and the covariance information vector into a pre-trained cascade neural network to obtain the direction of arrival angle of the signal aiming at each signal source; the cascade neural network comprises a signal-to-noise ratio classification network and a direction-of-arrival estimation network, wherein the direction-of-arrival estimation network comprises a high signal-to-noise ratio estimation sub-network and a low signal-to-noise ratio estimation sub-network; the input of the signal-to-noise ratio classification network is a characteristic value vector, and the input of the high signal-to-noise ratio estimation sub-network and the low signal-to-noise ratio estimation sub-network is a covariance information vector; the output result of the signal-to-noise ratio classification network is high signal-to-noise ratio activation high signal-to-noise ratio estimation sub-network; the output of the snr classification network activates the low snr estimation sub-network for low snr.
In order to enable the neural network to be suitable for a wide signal-to-noise ratio range, in the embodiment of the present invention, a cascaded neural network structure is constructed, as shown in fig. 2, the cascaded neural network includes a signal-to-noise ratio classification network and a direction-of-arrival estimation network, wherein the direction-of-arrival estimation network includes a high signal-to-noise ratio estimation sub-network and a low signal-to-noise ratio estimation sub-network, an input of the signal-to-noise ratio classification network is an eigenvalue vector, and an input of the high signal-to-noise ratio estimation sub-.

For example, the receiving end inputs the feature vector and the covariance information vector into a pre-trained cascade neural network, and then the feature vector is input into a signal-to-noise ratio classification network, wherein the signal-to-noise ratio classification network is a single hidden layer multiple input single output neural network, an output value is-1 or +1, -1 represents a low signal-to-noise ratio, and +1 represents a high signal-to-noise ratio. If the output of the signal-to-noise ratio classification network is-1, the low signal-to-noise ratio estimation sub-network is activated, namely the covariance information vector is input into the low signal-to-noise ratio estimation sub-network, and the low signal-to-noise ratio estimation sub-network can output the estimation result of the direction of arrival of the signal; on the contrary, if the output of the snr classification network is +1, the snr estimation sub-network is activated, i.e., the covariance information vector is input to the snr estimation sub-network, and the snr estimation sub-network can output the estimation result of the direction of arrival of the signal.
In addition, in another embodiment of the present invention, the output result of the snr classification network may be divided into a plurality of levels, each level corresponding to a snr range, and accordingly, the direction of arrival estimation network is divided into a plurality of sub-networks, each snr range corresponding to a sub-network in the active direction of arrival estimation network.
For example, the output result of the snr classification network is three levels, i.e., a low snr, a medium snr, and a high snr, and the direction-of-arrival estimation network may include a low snr estimation sub-network, a medium snr estimation sub-network, and a high snr estimation sub-network. And activating the low signal-to-noise ratio estimation sub-network if the output result of the signal-to-noise ratio classification network is the low signal-to-noise ratio, activating the middle signal-to-noise ratio estimation sub-network if the output result of the signal-to-noise ratio classification network is the middle signal-to-noise ratio, and activating the high signal-to-noise ratio estimation sub-network if the output result of the signal-to-noise ratio classification. The grade and range of signal-to-noise ratio division can be set according to actual requirements, and the embodiment of the invention does not limit the grade and range.
Therefore, by adopting the estimation method of the direction of arrival based on the cascaded neural network provided by the embodiment of the invention, the covariance matrix of the received signals is determined based on the received signals from a plurality of signal sources; performing eigenvalue decomposition on the covariance matrix to obtain an eigenvalue vector; converting elements in the covariance matrix into normalized real vectors to obtain covariance information vectors; inputting the characteristic value vector and the covariance information vector into a pre-trained cascade neural network to obtain the direction of arrival angle of the signal aiming at each signal source; the cascade neural network comprises a signal-to-noise ratio classification network and a direction-of-arrival estimation network, wherein the direction-of-arrival estimation network comprises a high signal-to-noise ratio estimation sub-network and a low signal-to-noise ratio estimation sub-network; the input of the signal-to-noise ratio classification network is a characteristic value vector, and the input of the high signal-to-noise ratio estimation sub-network and the low signal-to-noise ratio estimation sub-network is a covariance information vector; the output result of the signal-to-noise ratio classification network is high signal-to-noise ratio activation high signal-to-noise ratio estimation sub-network; the output of the snr classification network activates the low snr estimation sub-network for low snr. Therefore, compared with the traditional method for estimating the direction of arrival by adopting a single neural network, the method can improve the accuracy of the direction of arrival estimation, thereby being suitable for a wide signal-to-noise ratio range.
In one embodiment of the present invention, step S102 may include:
