Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of wireless communication, and particularly relates to a multi-reflector joint positioning and communication method based on environmental backscattering.
Background
The environmental backscattering technology is one of solutions of the internet of things proposed in recent years, and uses an existing radio frequency source in the environment as a signal source, and does not need to separately configure a radio frequency signal source like the traditional backscattering technology. The backscattering technology has the advantages of low power consumption and low cost, and on the basis of the application of the environmental backscattering technology, the cost is further reduced and the spectrum efficiency is improved due to the fact that a special radio frequency signal source is not required to be deployed.
With the development of science and technology, the demand for the simultaneous communication and positioning of the internet of things equipment is more and more extensive. The system capable of simultaneously realizing communication and positioning of a plurality of reflecting devices in the environment backscatter communication system is designed, and has wide application prospect. For example, in logistics management, the need for using a robot to replace manual operation is increasing, and when the robot knows the information and the position of a logistics item, corresponding actions can be performed, so that the logistics item using the internet of things device needs to have the information decoded correctly and also needs to know the position of the logistics item, and the robot and other devices can be used more conveniently to replace tedious manual operation.
However, since the environmental backscattering technology uses the existing radio frequency signal source in the environment, compared with the conventional backscattering technology, new challenges are brought about in the aspects of radio frequency source signal interference elimination, backscatter signal demodulation and the like. The OFDM technology is widely applied to commercial communication systems today, and therefore, OFDM signals are commonly used environmental signals for environmental backscatter communication systems, and have a cyclic prefix structure, and therefore, designing a multi-reflector joint positioning and communication system based on environmental backscatter according to the characteristics of the common radio frequency source signals also has important practical significance.

The invention designs the waveform of the reflected signal, and the specific waveform design scheme is as follows:
it is assumed that the reflection device symbol period is K times the OFDM radio source symbol period. Binary information from each reflecting device is Bl(m) represents, Bl(m) ± 1. When a certain symbol b (m) in the transmission chip is equal to-1, the following waveform of the reflection device is designed
Figure BDA0002935624730000063
NcIs the length of the cyclic prefix of an OFDM radio source symbol, N is the data portion length, N + NcConstituting the length of one complete OFDM symbol.
When one symbol b (m) of the transmission chip is 1, the reflection device waveform is constant at 1.
As shown in fig. 2, when transmitting-1, the waveform is designed to make a jump in the middle of one OFDM radio source symbol from 1 to-1, and when transmitting 1, the waveform is designed to have no jump.
L +1 angles of arrival can be estimated using the DOA estimation algorithm, here the Root-MUSIC algorithm (Barabell, "Improving the resolution performance of the eigen-based direction-defining algorithms," ICASSP'83.IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, Boston, Massachusetts, USA,1983, pp.336-339, doi:10.1109/ICASSP.1983.1172124) is used as an example estimation algorithm:

2. Calculating y (n) autocorrelation matrix R, R ═ E { y (n) yH(n), where the statistical average may be replaced by a time average,
namely, it is

4. Construct vector a (z), a (z) [1, z ]-1,...,z-(M-1)]T。
The following function is constructed:

5. Defining polynomial
Figure BDA0002935624730000074
Let it be 0, solve the equation. And obtaining the value of z.
6. The number of the target signals is L +1, the z value is subjected to modulo subtraction by 1, and then the absolute value is taken to be sorted from small to large. This would find 2L +2 roots closest to modulo 1 (a heavy root would appear). Since the signal reflected by the back scatterer undergoes two attenuations, its signal strength is much less than the direct signal. The root closest to the unit circle belongs to the direct link signal. And the other roots are subjected to de-duplication to obtain the arrival angle of the reflected link signal.
7. Since z is ejφPhi is the spatial angular frequency, phi ═ pi sin theta. Thus, it is possible to provide

And reflected signal angle of arrival estimate
Figure BDA0002935624730000077
And then, spatial filtering is carried out. The aim is to only keep the signal in a certain direction and set the signals in other directions to zero.
There are many algorithms for spatial filtering, and one example here is a spatial filtering algorithm to retain

The reflected signal of the direction, the signal of other estimated directions is set to zero as an example to explain:

the specific algorithm steps are as follows:

Figure BDA0002935624730000085
The reflected signal of (2) is taken as an example, and after the spatial filtering is finished, the signal form is as follows:
z(n)＝wHy(n)
that is, the signal is:
Figure BDA0002935624730000086
Figure BDA0002935624730000087
wherein w is a weight vector designed in the spatial filtering process, p0＝wHa(θ0)，εl＝wHa(θl)εd＝wHa(θd) Representing the degree of suppression of the power of the respective signal component, depends on the accuracy of the DOA estimation. If the DOA estimate is accurate, p0≈1，εlAnd εdAre all very small values, about 0, and can be classified as noise, as discussed below based on the fact that p is0＝1，ε＝0。
Measurement z0(n) the power of the signal is Pz0When p is01, reflection coefficient alpha0Given that n and β are known after the actual measurement, it can be estimated

I.e. the product D of the distance of the radio frequency source to the reflecting device and the distance of the reflecting device to the receiver.
Figure BDA0002935624730000089
Keeping the signals of the direct link, suppressing all reflected signals to estimate the distance from the radio frequency source to the receiver, and performing spatial filtering according to the similar method to obtain
Figure BDA0002935624730000091
In the formula pd＝wHa(θd)，pd≈1，εlIs a very small value, about 0, and can be classified as noise. Therefore, the signal z can be obtaineddPower of (n)
Figure BDA0002935624730000092
Calculate dfTo estimate the distance of the outgoing frequency source to the receiver.
Figure BDA0002935624730000093
The problem of localization of the reflected signal can therefore be modeled as a geometric problem as follows:
θdand theta0Can be obtained after performing DOA estimation, and dfBy keeping only the signal of the direct path one can estimate,
Figure BDA0002935624730000094
as the product of the two path distances can also be estimated. Then the cosine theorem of the triangle. The included angle between the direct path and the reflection path is delta theta ═ thetad-θ0The following equation can be established:
Figure BDA0002935624730000095
in the equation, the ratio of the sum of the coefficients,d and Δ θ and DfBoth equations are known, and can be solved
Figure BDA0002935624730000096
And
Figure BDA0002935624730000097
thus, the distance from the reflecting device to the receiver
Figure BDA0002935624730000098
Can be estimated and the arrival angle theta of the signal is known0The position of the reflecting device can be estimated.
The coordinate calculation method of the reflecting device is as follows, and the coordinate of the known receiver is set as (x)r,yr) The coordinates of the reflecting device are (x, y) and the angle of arrival is theta
Figure BDA0002935624730000099
And finally obtaining the positioning result of the reflected signal.
The method for locating and simultaneously demodulating the reflected signal is as follows:
for the sake of analysis convenience, the assumption that K is 1, i.e. the duration of one period of the reflection device waveform c (n) is the same as the duration of one OFDM symbol, does not affect the correctness of the theoretical derivation as well. I.e. one complete OFDM symbol corresponds to the symbol B of a reflecting devicel(m), i.e. a Bl(m) within a symbol period of N + NcC (n) samples.
The spatial filtered signal is as follows:
Figure BDA0002935624730000101
the model can be simplified to the following form:
z0(n)＝K0s(n)c0(n)+ω(n)
wherein
Figure BDA0002935624730000102
Is a constant number of times that the number of the first,
Figure BDA0002935624730000103
and
Figure BDA0002935624730000104
since the spatial filtering has been zeroed out, it is included in the ω (n) term.
As shown in fig. 3, assume that the delay spread of channel h is LhThen, a certain intersymbol interference will be caused to the CP symbol, and the length of the CP is greater than the delay spread, so that a part of CP symbols will not cause intersymbol interference, and the samples of the part without intersymbol interference are used for processing. I.e. ISI does not affect the accuracy of the derivation.
Due to the nature of the cyclic prefix:
s(n)＝s(n+N),n＝0,...,Nc-1
due to the nature of the designed waveform:
Figure BDA0002935624730000105
in one OFDM symbol period, i.e. one B0In (m) symbol periods, neglecting the effect of noise, as shown in FIG. 3, z0(n) the signal has the following properties: when n is equal to Lh-1,...,NcAt the time of-1
Figure BDA0002935624730000106
Processing the signal to cause:
Figure BDA0002935624730000111
then
Figure BDA0002935624730000112
ωcrossAnd (n) is a cross term generated in the conjugate multiplication operation and is also attributed to a noise term.
Therefore, if noise is ignored, u (m) ═ Ko|2|s(n)|2B (m), i.e., u (m) after processing is the original transmission symbol b (m) multiplied by a constant.
The judgment rule for B (m) during demodulation is as follows:
Figure BDA0002935624730000113
thus, the symbols transmitted by the reflecting device can be recovered.
The known pilot sequence is used for carrying out correlation operation on the pilot part of the decoded reflection signal, and when the correlation operation result of the demodulated signal and a certain known pilot sequence is the maximum, the corresponding relation between the signal and the known pilot can be determined, so that the reflection device to which the signal belongs can be known while information is transmitted.
Simulation analysis:
the number of reflecting devices is 4, the positioning area is a space of 10 m × 10 m, the receiver is in the space, and the ambient radio frequency source is outside the space.
N of OFDM symbols of an ambient radio frequency sourcecSet to 16, N to 64, N + NcIs 80 and is the number of sampling points for one OFDM symbol. The reflection device symbol period is the same as the OFDM symbol period. A total of 80000 samples, i.e., 1000 symbol sequences, are collected for DOA estimation. The source transmission power is fixed to be 1, the source coordinate is set to be (-5,15), and the number of receiving antennas of the receiver is 8. The channel parameters β are set to 1 and the range attenuation coefficient is set to 2.5. The fixed coordinate of the receiver is (5,0), the arrival angle of the direct signal is-33.7 degrees, the distance from the source transmitter to the receiver is 18.03 meters, and the ratio of the signal-to-noise ratio of the direct link signal to the signal-to-noise ratio of the transmitted signal is delta gamma by the former signal modeld＝-31.4dB。
The reflection coefficient of the reflection device is set to α ═ 0.2+0.3 j. Coordinates of the reflecting device are fixed in the simulation, and coordinates of the reflecting device numbered 0 are (2,3), coordinates of the reflecting device numbered 1 are (4,7), coordinates of the reflecting device numbered 2 are (6,1), and coordinates of the reflecting device numbered 3 are (7, 9). I.e. 4 reflecting devices reach the receiver at distances of 4.24 meters, 7.07 meters, 1.41 meters and 9.22 meters, respectively, and the true directions of the 4 reflecting devices to the receiver are 45.0 °, 8.1301 °, -45.0 °, 12.53 °, respectively. The pilot sequence length of the reflecting device is set to 64 reflecting device symbols.
From the previous signal model, the ratio of the power of the reflected signal and the signal-to-noise ratio of the transmitted signal of the ith reflecting device at fixed coordinates can be calculated as:
Figure BDA0002935624730000121
under the simulation condition, the Delta gamma of 4 reflection devices can be knowniRespectively-53.1 dB, -57.1dB, -43.9dB, -61.2dB, the reflected signal power difference of the reflecting devices at different positions can be up to about 20dB.
Altering the power signal-to-noise ratio gamma of a transmitted signalsFrom 30dB to 60dB, the signal-to-noise ratio of the received signal of the direct link is gammas+△γdThe signal-to-noise ratio of the received signals of the 4 reflection devices is gammas+△γi. And carrying out a plurality of Monte Carlo experiments in each round, and in each Monte Carlo experiment, counting the accuracy rate of the judgment of the reflection signals as corresponding reflection equipment and counting the error rate of each reflection equipment.
As shown in fig. 4, the signals of multiple reflection devices are simultaneously accessed, and the reflected signals are determined as simulation results of the reflection devices. It can be seen that the probability of correct decision is high when the signal-to-noise ratio of the transmitted signal is greater than 40 dB. Indicating that the scheme is valid. Meanwhile, the lowest decision probability is about 20%, because for a signal in one direction, assuming a completely random decision, it is possible to decide that 4 reflection devices reflect the signal or direct the signal, and the probability that the correct decision is exactly 20%.
Fig. 5 is a bit error rate simulation result of multi-reflector signal demodulation. It can be seen that the bit error rate performance is greatly affected by the signal-to-noise ratio of the received signal. Meanwhile, when the signal-to-noise ratio is high enough, the error rate of demodulation of the reflection device is also satisfactory, which indicates the correctness of the signal demodulation scheme.
