Detailed Description
Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application and not all embodiments of the present application, and that the present application is not limited by the example embodiments described herein.
With the rapid development of information technology, the dilemma of insufficient spectrum resources is increasingly highlighted. The spectrum band where the floodlight is located is always an idle resource for communication, which is a great waste. In order to efficiently utilize spectrum resources, a new communication spectrum resource for free space floodlight communication is developed, so that the available resources are more than 1 ten thousand times of the existing radio communication spectrum.
The engineering and technology problems mainly faced by the present application are that the radio spectrum as an unrecoverable resource is nearly exhausted, and compared with a 5G network, the 6G communication capacity and the bandwidth are further improved by hundreds or thousands of times compared with 5G, and the exhausted resource makes the performance of the mobile communication network difficult to obtain further breakthrough. Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a relationship between a visible light VLC resource and a floodlight resource, and fig. 2 shows a schematic diagram of a spectrum resource division including the visible light VLC resource and the floodlight resource. It can be understood that the spectrum resources used by visible light VLC are a subset of floodlight (as shown in fig. 1), and the bandwidth of the frequency band is narrow and far less extensive than the spectrum resources included in floodlight. The application provides a 6G network floodlight communication architecture based on 6G photonics, a future new generation mobile communication system is composed of a floodlight air interface, a floodlight base station and a floodlight terminal, floodlight spectrum resources with wide frequency bands are fully utilized, integrated novel spectrum resources such as high-frequency terahertz (more than 3 THz), infrared rays, visible light with various colors and ultraviolet rays are used as carriers of user data (shown in figure 2), idle frequency bands, authorized and unauthorized frequency bands of the floodlight spectrum resources from terahertz (THz) to Hertz (PHz) are shared, ultrahigh-rate, ultrahigh-capacity and ultralong-span mobile data transmission is provided, and development requirements of 6G services are met. Thus, the uplink and downlink bandwidth between the terminal and the network can be extended to 100G bps or even 1T bps or higher.
For example, a small micro base station may be installed on a fluorescent lamp in a classroom, a street lamp in a city street, an LED lamp in a home, a lighting facility in a station, an airport, a dock, a shop, a library, an office, and the like. The problems of inflexibility and inconvenience of wired access in a room are solved; the problems of weak wireless access signals and low bandwidth are solved; the illumination and fast response characteristics of the LEDs enable both high quality lighting experience and high speed communication experience. Enabling ubiquitous coverage of lighting and communications: global lighting networks, with approximately 460 million indoor lights, 160 million outdoor lights; there are approximately 1800 million global macrocell mobile base stations and more than 5 hundred million Wi-Fi access points. The visible light spectrum occupies about 300THz bandwidth, and the traditional wireless spectrum is about 30GHz, so that the visible light communication has ultrahigh-speed communication and access potential. The modulation bandwidth is about 40MHz by using commercial LEDs, the utilization rate of visible spectrum is only 700 ten-thousandth, so that the available frequency space is large, and the space for improving the communication speed is remarkably improved. The LED is efficient and energy-saving, the communication is integrated by means of illumination, and green and energy-saving communication can be realized. The visible light communication also has the characteristics of directional radiation, rapid attenuation, high space reuse rate and the like, and opens up brand-new frequency spectrum resources. The VLC optical uplink is a short board that can make up for this deficiency by tightly coupling with Wi-Fi. Another problem to be solved by the present application further includes: traditional visible light communication can not realize reliable communication under night or low light scene, and contains the frequency channel of a large amount of invisible light in the floodlight spectrum, and the development space is very big, can effectually avoid unnecessary light pollution. It follows that free space based floodlight communication will be the direction of future evolution of visible light communication.
The application expands the available frequency band of the traditional mobile communication to 3 THz-30 PHz (frequency 3 multiplied by 10)12~3×1016Hertz, wavelength 100 μm to 10nm, approximately thirty thousand terahertz spectrum bandwidths) comprising: high-frequency terahertz light, infrared light, visible light with various colors, ultraviolet light and The like (as shown in fig. 2), and a three-light communication Architecture (The Triple flood Architecture) based on a flood air interface, a flood base station and a flood terminal of a 6G network is established. The floodlight communication in free space is formed by the visible light range, the high-frequency terahertz light, the infrared light, the ultraviolet light and other invisible light ranges. The floodlight source of the invisible light can meet the requirements of users at night and in low-light scenes, and can effectively avoid unnecessary light pollution. The high-frequency terahertz has not only the physical characteristics of wireless microwaves but also the physical characteristics of light waves, and is one of the important transmission frequency bands of floodlight communication.
Fig. 3 shows a schematic system architecture diagram of a 6G floodlight communication network according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. In the system architecture shown in fig. 3, on the basis of inheriting the naming mode of the 5G network air interface (5G New Radio,5G NR) and the base station system (gNB), the optical air interface of the 6G network is defined as 6G FLR (6G flow Light Radio), and the optical base station system of the 6G network is defined as 6G FL-NB (6G flow Light Node B). As shown in fig. 3, the 6G floodlight communication network of the present application mainly involves three parts, 6G FLR, FL-NB and optical terminal, and is compatible with existing LTE eNB and 5G gbb networks.
Referring to fig. 3, a 6G floodlight communication network comprises a floodlight base station 10 and a floodlight air interface device 20. It should be understood herein that while the floodlight base station 10 and the floodlight air interface device 20 are shown as two devices for ease of description herein, they may also be collectively referred to as, or belong to, a floodlight base station. The floodlight base station 10 described herein is a base station control system based on floodlight exchange, and the floodlight interface device 20 is a floodlight access device, so that a floodlight terminal 30 described later can access to the floodlight base station 10 via the floodlight interface device 20 (or access device).
The floodlight base station 10 differs from conventional wireless communication base stations, such as 4G LTE base stations eNB and 5G base stations gNB, mainly in that the data exchanged by the floodlight base station 10 is entirely based on floodlight signals, and therefore, as mentioned above, has significant advantages in terms of frequency and bandwidth, etc., compared to conventional base stations. Other aspects of the floodlight base station 10, such as the protocols applied therein, etc., may utilize or be compatible with protocols in 5G base stations, or may be a 6G photonic communication protocol developed in the future. The floodlight base station 10 may relay the processed data through optical-to-electrical conversion, and transmit the data to a conventional 4G LTE base station eNB or a 5G base station gNB network, so as to be compatible with an existing network, and may also transmit the data to a 6G core network, which may also be an all-optical network.
In some embodiments, the floodlight base station 10 may have various all-optical switching control modules as a processing control unit of the floodlight radiation signal, and is an optical signal data switching and processing center of the floodlight communication architecture. As will be described below, the floodlight base station 10 can have functions of multi-stage amplification, modulation/demodulation, optical filter bank, channel/source coding and signaling parsing for the transmitted floodlight signal.
In some embodiments, the cellular network architecture of the floodlight mobile communication base station 10 can be divided into two types, a base station-centric conventional cellular networking and a user-centric novel cellular networking. The former architecture regards the floodlight radiation source as a 'cell base station', and controls user access and resource management through centralized scheduling of the base station, which is similar to the base stations in the 4G network and the 5G network; the latter framework performs resource management by taking a user as a center, so that optical signals of a plurality of floodlight radiation sources are mutually matched by taking the user as the center, the experience quality of each user is improved, the cell edge or cell switching is not perceived, and the transmission service quality of the system is integrally improved.
The same floodlight base station 10 can be associated with multiple floodlight air interface units 20, where the floodlight air interface units 20 are floodlight access points of an overall floodlight communication architecture, which can be disposed at multiple remote locations or sites around the base station. The floodlight interface device 20 may include, for example, a broadband floodlight radiation source (e.g., an LED or Micro-LED light source, a broadband laser, etc.) capable of emitting terahertz light, infrared light, visible light, ultraviolet light, etc., or an nxm radiation integrated array composed of a plurality of broadband floodlight radiation sources, so as to transmit modulated user data signals according to different floodlight frequency bands. The floodlight interface device 20 further comprises a light detector (e.g., a photosensitive array with ultra-wide spectral response or an optical imaging array) or an integrated array of multiple light detectors capable of receiving floodlight signals of corresponding frequency bands, and the floodlight signals can be received through technologies such as spectral sensing, photon counting, and optical imaging. These radiating transmitting and receiving arrays constitute an optical antenna system of a floodlight communication architecture. The optical signal to be transmitted or received may also be power amplified by the floodlight interface device 20.
Different from the conventional wireless antenna feed system, the optical antenna (specifically, the broadband floodlight radiation source) of the floodlight air port device 20 utilizes a free-form surface lens or a photonic crystal lens with a micro-nano structure to process the optical signal emitted by the floodlight radiation source, so that the diffused light becomes collimated light, and a specific floodlight super-spectrum optical antenna is formed. In order to be fused with the existing wireless communication, the coverage area formed by the optical antenna can be a traditional cellular cell, and a non-cellular signal coverage area can also be formed according to requirements, so that a floodlight communication network is conveniently and flexibly established, and the frequency spectrum utilization efficiency is higher. Meanwhile, the optical air interface supports the optical link to move quickly, is compatible with various optical infrastructures, and can adapt to noise and interference caused by surrounding environment light sources. As will be described in further detail below, the flood air interface 20 may comprise a planar/area-directed flood radiation array or a spherical omnidirectional flood radiation array.
A plurality of floodlight terminals 30 can be connected to a floodlight communication network as shown in fig. 3. The floodlight terminal 30 may include all intelligent mobile terminal systems with various application functions, such as a mobile phone supporting floodlight communication, a tablet computer, a vehicle-mounted floodlight terminal, and the like. The floodlight communication terminal 30 can use a small-sized broadband light radiation source and a small-sized broadband light detector to replace the conventional microwave radiation antenna, determine the scale of the radiation/reception array according to the size of the terminal, and communicate with the optical cavity and the optical base station by using floodlight radiation. In some embodiments, the floodlight terminal 30 may include modules such as a light signal amplifier, a light filtering device, and a photoelectric conversion device. The baseband system of the floodlight terminal 30 processes the floodlight signal by using the optical switching technology, and the signal is subjected to photoelectric conversion and then is sent to the terminal CPU for processing and displaying on the screen. The floodlight terminal 30 includes all intelligent mobile terminals based on floodlight signal exchange. In other embodiments, the floodlight terminal 30 may also be a conventional component operating based on current/voltage, and the electrical signal is subjected to optical-electrical conversion and then is communicated with the floodlight interface device 20 through the floodlight interface.
In the floodlight communication architecture shown in fig. 3, the system units are interconnected by a high-speed light-carrying network. For example, the floodlight base station 10 and the floodlight air interface device 20 can be interconnected through a wired optical fiber, and the floodlight air interface device 20 and the floodlight terminal 30 can be interconnected through a wireless optical path.
Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of an optical antenna according to an exemplary embodiment, which can be applied to the floodlight interface device 20 shown in fig. 3. As shown in fig. 4, the optical antenna 40 may be a planar/area-directional floodlight radiation array (as shown in (a) of fig. 4) or a spherical omnidirectional floodlight radiation array (as shown in (b) of fig. 4), each of which may include a broadband floodlight radiation source array 42, an ultra-wide-band spectral response detection integrated array 44 and an optical pixel imaging detection integrated array 46, wherein the ultra-wide-band spectral response detection integrated array 44 and the optical pixel imaging detection integrated array 46 may be separate arrays or may be arranged as a hybrid array, as shown in fig. 4. The broad-band flood radiation source array 42 may comprise a plurality of flood radiation units 41 for emitting optical radiation, the ultra-wide-band spectral response detection integrated array 44 may comprise a plurality of broad-spectrum response detection units 43 for receiving optical radiation signals, and the optical pixel imaging detection integrated array 46 may comprise a plurality of optical pixel detection units 45 for performing imaging detection. The optical antenna 40 employs spectral response, photon counting, optical imaging, and other techniques to transmit high bandwidth and high volume data.
As shown in fig. 4, the optical antenna 40 may employ a planar directional large-scale optical radiation integrated array or a spherical omnidirectional large-scale optical radiation integrated array for externally emitting optical radiation at frequencies ranging from 3THz to 30PHz, including, for example, visible light, high-frequency terahertz waves, infrared light, ultraviolet light, and the like, for a flood connection with the terminal device 30 and/or other optical cavities. It will be appreciated that the frequency of the flood signals emitted by the radiation array and detected by the detection array may be suitably selected according to the needs of the scene, for example in the visible region of the user activity, the flood signals emitted and detected may be in a frequency range including visible light, whereas in dark environments the flood signals emitted and detected may be in a frequency range other than visible light to avoid unwanted light pollution. The nxm radiating array is composed of a plurality of single light radiation sources such as Micro-LEDs or small high broadband lasers, and an optical radiation receiving device composed of an ultra-wide spectral response detector array is arranged near the array and used for receiving floodlight signals from a terminal or an optical air interface.
The floodlight signals emitted by the floodlight radiation unit 41 can include three types of signals, the first type is floodlight signals carrying information with rapid change of luminous intensity with flicker speed exceeding the threshold value of human eyes and is generally used for VLC communication, the second type is single/multi-photon signals of point-to-multipoint communication and can be used for FLC and VLC communication, and the third type is floodlight signals emitting two-dimensional signal space flow through a light source array and can be used for implicit or explicit information transmission and can be used for FLC and VLC communication.
The ultra-wide spectral response detector 44 can be made of a floodphoton wave-absorbing flexible curved surface material, so that the selective absorption capacity (including single/multiple photons) of floodlight spectra of different frequency bands can be improved, and data transmission can be performed according to the floodlight spectral response of the different frequency bands. The method can improve the internal and external quantum efficiency and the received luminous flux, and improve the communication transmission capacity. Each of the ultra-wide spectral response detection units 43 can employ a transmission technique based on light intensity modulation, and also a transmission technique based on single photon detection, making full use of the particle dichroism of light, as will be described in detail later with respect to physical layer transmission techniques.
The optical pixel detection unit 45 can use floodlight as an information carrier, send a two-dimensional space signal stream through an optical radiation array, and then use a pixel detector array receiver of the integrated optical system for imaging detection. The detection unit 45 mainly includes an imaging photosensitive device, such as a high-sensitivity cmos (complementary Metal Oxide semiconductor) device, for example, and recovers transmission information by analyzing and processing a frame image signal to implement communication. The advantages of this approach are, for example: (a) the optical camera device of the existing mobile terminal can be conveniently utilized, and the quick engineering realization is facilitated; (b) the optical MIMO receiving capacity with large-scale independent channels is realized; (c) having multicolor acceptance; and (d) acceptance with flexible variable field angles.
The floodlight radiation and detection device in the optical air interface system may further include a plurality of optoelectronic devices such as an external modulator, an amplifier, a multiplexer, a demultiplexer, an optical switch, and an integrated transceiver, which are used to form a full optical path device or an optical path/circuit hybrid device, so as to process an optical signal or an optical-electrical hybrid signal, and implement a desired function of the optical air interface device 20, for example, an air interface function similar to that implemented by a conventional circuit in 4G or 5G.

A physical layer transmission technique that can be used in the above-described floodlight communication system will be described below. The transmission channel of the floodlight communication in the free space is limited by the frequency response characteristics of the transmitting and receiving ends, the spatial light field distribution, the atmospheric turbulence, the background noise, the light scattering, diffraction and reflection and other factors. The physical layer transmission modulation signal of the floodlight communication architecture comprises positive and negative amplitude modulation and complete phase information, the modulation technology comprises single carrier modulation, multi-carrier modulation, carrierless modulation, color modulation and the like, and the multiple access technology comprises orthogonal frequency division multiple access, code division multiple access, color division multiple access, non-orthogonal multiple access and the like. In some embodiments of the present application, these multiple access techniques can be applied with substantially the same principle as the conventional 4G and 5G multiple access techniques, except that the bipolar electromagnetic wave signal is converted into a unipolar real signal (i.e. optical signal) to adapt to the optical path device of the present application, the energy efficiency of the signal is not lost, and the spectrum utilization rate is high. The non-orthogonal multiple access technology based on the sparse code and the power domain breaks through the traditional mode of constructing a multi-channel mode in an orthogonal mode, introduces the non-orthogonal multi-channel and can effectively improve the frequency spectrum utilization rate.
In some embodiments of the present application, the following three physical layer transmission techniques may be employed to implement the floodlight signal transmission.
1. Intensity modulation based transmission techniques are employed. This is a communication technique that uses rapid changes in luminous intensity to carry information. In some embodiments of the application, a broadband LED or a high-broadband laser is used, the equivalent bandwidth is large, the sensitivity in a floodlight wave band is high, the interference by visible light intensity is small, and high transmission rate and communication capacity can be achieved. The transmission technology based on intensity modulation is mainly inherited to earlier researches on visible light communication, such as multicolor visible light transmission, MIMO-VLC and the like, and on the basis, the floodlight transmission problem is pertinently solved.
2. Single/multiphoton based transmission techniques are employed. The wave-particle duality of light is the physical basis for the realization of single photon detection technology. On one hand, the fluctuation of light is adopted, and the transmitting end realizes the loading of information by adjusting the power of the floodlight signal; on the other hand, since the optical power is actually a macroscopic manifestation of large-scale particle motion, the receiving end fully utilizes the particle property of light to extract the transmitted signal information in a photon counting mode. Some embodiments of the application adopt a single/multi-photon detection technology to redesign a Poisson channel under a Gaussian noise channel, model non-orthogonal multiple access systems and code division multiple access systems under the Poisson channel, solve the influence of the SPAD dead time effect on the imaging contrast of the photon technology, and obtain a design method for solving the general problem.
3. And communication is carried out by adopting a transmission technology based on optical imaging in an implicit transmission mode of pushing a two-dimensional space signal stream to a user. The transmission technology can comprise two transmission modes of non-imaging optical MIMO and imaging optical MIMO, and the full-rank characteristic of a channel matrix of the imaging optical MIMO is fully utilized, so that floodlight can carry out signal transmission in a low-illumination scene, and high data transmission performance can be obtained; meanwhile, a frame image of a receiving end can be modeled by using a mixed frame detection algorithm, so that the floodlight signal of a user is transmitted more reliably.
Some embodiments of the application also support the integration of the floodlight communication protocol and heterogeneous protocols of other networks such as radio and the like, so that the respective advantages of various networks are exerted, and better network performance is provided.
