Abstract

The present invention provides a two-dimensional phased antenna array-based rapid and accurate beam tracking method. The method is suitable for millimeter wave mobile communication. By dividing a time-varying channel into three situations, i.e., a quasi-static scene, a dynamic type I, and a dynamic type II, the method uses the optimized detection direction and tracks channel parameters under each situation according to a random Newton's method. The advantage of the method is that it can achieve the minimum pilot overhead of the joint tracking of the two-dimensional beam direction and the channel coefficient. For the quasi-static scene and the dynamic type I, the performance of the method can approach the Cramer-Rao lower bound of the tracking error. For the dynamic type II, the method can achieve higher tracking accuracy and faster tracking speed.

Description

一种基于二维相控天线阵列的快速精确波束跟踪方法A fast and accurate beam tracking method based on two-dimensional phased antenna array 技术领域Technical field
本发明属于通信技术领域,涉及毫米波移动通信,特别涉及一种基于二维相控天线阵列的快速精确波束跟踪方法。The invention belongs to the field of communication technology, relates to millimeter wave mobile communication, and particularly relates to a fast and accurate beam tracking method based on a two-dimensional phased antenna array.
背景技术Background technique
巨大的带宽优势使得毫米波通信具有广阔的应用前景。由于波长较短,毫米波通信系统常常配备大规模的天线以实现高阵列增益,这使得毫米波波束很窄,轻微的对不准就可能造成巨大的能量损失。在信道变化很慢的静态场景或准静态场景下,波束对准可以通过导频训练的方式来实现,这会占用巨大的导频资源。然而,在信道快速变化的场景下,无法直接通过导频训练的方式实现对准。因此,移动场景下用尽可能少的导频开销实现精确的波束跟踪是必要的。The huge bandwidth advantage makes millimeter wave communication have broad application prospects. Due to the short wavelength, millimeter wave communication systems are often equipped with large-scale antennas to achieve high array gain, which makes the millimeter wave beam very narrow, and a slight misalignment may cause huge energy loss. In a static scene or a quasi-static scene where the channel changes slowly, beam alignment can be achieved through pilot training, which will occupy huge pilot resources. However, in a scene where the channel changes rapidly, the alignment cannot be achieved directly by means of pilot training. Therefore, it is necessary to achieve accurate beam tracking with as little pilot overhead as possible in mobile scenarios.
同时,随着天线数目的增多和载频的提高,毫米波通信中采用全数字波束成形架构的硬件开销和能量损耗都巨大无比。一种经济可行的解决方式是采用模拟波束成形架构。当采用模拟波束成形架构时,接收机每次只能获得一个特定方向的观测,所选取的探测波束成形矢量会对系统性能产生很大的影响。因此,如何选取探测波束成形矢量,从而实现对波束的精确跟踪,是快速移动场景下毫米波通信的重要问题。At the same time, with the increase in the number of antennas and the increase in carrier frequency, the hardware overhead and energy loss of the all-digital beamforming architecture used in millimeter wave communications are huge. An economically feasible solution is to use an analog beamforming architecture. When the analog beamforming architecture is adopted, the receiver can only obtain observations in a specific direction at a time, and the selected detection beamforming vector will have a great impact on system performance. Therefore, how to select the detection beamforming vector to achieve accurate beam tracking is an important issue for millimeter wave communications in fast-moving scenarios.
针对移动场景下的毫米波波束跟踪问题,已存在一系列的研究算法。通过利用毫米波信道的稀疏特性,一种基于压缩感知的算法被提出。然而,这种算法主要针对静态或准静态场景设计,在快速移动的场景中算法性能较差。IEEE 802.11ad中提出了一种简单的动态跟踪算法,它基于接收到的信号强度,在当前波束和相邻波束间切换。有人把卡尔曼滤波的思想应用到了波束跟踪问题中,以波束方向和信道系数作为系统状态,应用扩展卡尔曼滤波的方法进行跟踪。然而,这些方法都没有对探测波束成形矢量进行优化,在模拟波束成形架构中, 跟踪的性能跟选取的探测波束成形矢量密切相关,没有优化探测波束成形矢量使得这些算法的跟踪精度都不够高。基于一维天线阵列,一种信道系数和波束方向联合跟踪的算法被提出,并且对探测波束成形矢量进行了优化。然而,该算法只能支持一维波束方向的跟踪,在诸如无人机通信的很多场景下,波束方向可能从不同的水平和垂直方向到达,因此,需要对二维的波束方向同时进行跟踪。There have been a series of research algorithms for millimeter wave beam tracking in mobile scenes. By using the sparsity of the millimeter wave channel, an algorithm based on compressed sensing is proposed. However, this algorithm is mainly designed for static or quasi-static scenes, and its performance is poor in fast-moving scenes. IEEE 802.11ad proposes a simple dynamic tracking algorithm, which switches between the current beam and adjacent beams based on the received signal strength. Someone applied the idea of Kalman filtering to the beam tracking problem, using the beam direction and channel coefficients as the system state, and applying the extended Kalman filtering method for tracking. However, these methods do not optimize the detection beamforming vector. In the analog beamforming architecture, the tracking performance is closely related to the selected detection beamforming vector. Failure to optimize the detection beamforming vector makes the tracking accuracy of these algorithms insufficient. Based on a one-dimensional antenna array, an algorithm for joint tracking of channel coefficients and beam direction is proposed, and the detection beamforming vector is optimized. However, this algorithm can only support one-dimensional beam direction tracking. In many scenarios such as UAV communication, the beam direction may arrive from different horizontal and vertical directions. Therefore, it is necessary to track the two-dimensional beam direction simultaneously.

The pilot overhead used should be as small as possible and the detection beamforming vector should be optimized. , In order to achieve the highest possible tracking accuracy and the fastest possible tracking speed.

步骤32,在每个探测通信周期的探测时段,依次发送3个导频,进行3次不同方向的探测。探测的方向为上一次估测的方向加上三组固定偏移量Δ DII,1DII,2DII,3,这三组偏移量位于二维平面的一个环上:0.4≤|Δ DII,i|≤0.6,i=1,2,3。三组偏移量可依据要跟踪的目标进行优化,优化目标包括但不限于信道矢量的均方误差,方向参数矢量的均方误差。 Step 32: In the detection period of each detection communication cycle, three pilots are sent in sequence to perform three detections in different directions. The detection direction is the last estimated direction plus three sets of fixed offsets Δ DII,1 , Δ DII,2 , Δ DII,3 , these three sets of offsets are located on a ring in the two-dimensional plane: 0.4≤ |Δ DII,i |≤0.6,i=1, 2, 3. The three sets of offsets can be optimized according to the target to be tracked. The optimization targets include but are not limited to the mean square error of the channel vector and the mean square error of the direction parameter vector.
步骤33,基于探测结果及历史上记录的信息,利用随机迭代法更新估测值。采用的随机迭代法可包括但不限于随机牛顿法。Step 33, based on the detection result and historically recorded information, update the estimated value using a random iteration method. The random iteration method used may include, but is not limited to, the random Newton method.

具体实施方式Detailed ways
下面详细描述本发明的实施例,实施例的示例在附图中示出,其中自始至终相同或类似的标号表示相同或类似的元件或具有相同或类似功能的元件。下面通过参考附图描述的实施例是示例性的,仅用于解释本发明,而不能理解为对本发明的限制。The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary, and are only used to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
本方法研究接收端的跟踪问题,发射端的跟踪可以通过信道互易性实现。This method studies the tracking problem at the receiving end, and the tracking at the transmitting end can be achieved through channel reciprocity.
考虑如图1所示的二维相控阵列天线接收机:平面天线阵列由M×N个分布在矩形区域内的阵子构成,x(y)轴方向相邻阵子之间的距离为d 1(d 2)。接收机采用模拟波束成形架构,每一个阵子通过单独的移相器连接到同一个射频链路上。本实施例中,信道在探测通信周期内保持不变。在每个探测通信周期的探测时段,发射机发射q个相同的已知导频s p,用以估测信道系数和到达的波束方向。 Consider the two-dimensional phased array antenna receiver shown in Figure 1: The planar antenna array is composed of M×N elements distributed in a rectangular area, and the distance between adjacent elements in the x(y) axis is d 1 ( d 2 ). The receiver uses an analog beamforming architecture, and each element is connected to the same RF link through a separate phase shifter. In this embodiment, the channel remains unchanged during the probing communication period. Each probe in the probe communication cycle period, the transmitter transmits the q same known pilot s p, for estimating the channel coefficients and the beam direction of arrival.
毫米波散射效应较弱,信道中仅仅存在一条直射径和少量的反射径。由于角度扩展很小,多径之间的相互干扰相当微弱。因此,可以独立地跟踪多径中的每一径。本实施例重点研究一径的跟踪方法,其它多径可以通过相同的方法独立跟踪。在第k个探测通信周期,要研究的该径到达波束方向为(θ kk),其中θ k为到达波束方向的俯仰角,φ k为到达波束方向的方位角。这一径的信道矢量可以表示为 The millimeter wave scattering effect is weak, and there is only a direct path and a small amount of reflection path in the channel. Because the angle extension is small, the mutual interference between multipaths is quite weak. Therefore, each path in the multipath can be tracked independently. This embodiment focuses on the tracking method of one path, and other multipaths can be tracked independently by the same method. In the k-th detection communication cycle, the direction of the beam arrival beam to be studied is (θ k , φ k ), where θ k is the elevation angle of the arrival beam direction, and φ k is the azimuth angle of the arrival beam direction. The channel vector of this path can be expressed as

在准静态场景、动态I型和动态II型场景下,要保证利用每个探测通信周期的探测结果获得信道参数矢量的唯一估计,所需的最小导频开销均为每探测通信周期3个导频,因此q=3。In quasi-static scenarios, dynamic type I and dynamic type II scenarios, it is necessary to ensure that the detection results of each detection communication cycle are used to obtain a unique estimation of the channel parameter vector. The minimum pilot overhead required is 3 pilots per detection communication cycle. Frequency, so q=3.
