Description

Passive RFID-oriented spread spectrum and broadband perception enhancement method and system
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), and particularly relates to a passive RFID-oriented spread spectrum and broadband perception enhancement method and system.
Background
In recent decades, sensing systems based on passive RFID have received much attention from research teams and manufacturers at home and abroad in terms of motion recognition, material quality detection, target location, and the like. However, the sensing features extracted by most current RFID sensing operations are one-dimensional (spatial or frequency), low-speed (40-200 times per second) metrics, such as phase and strength information of the physical layer of the reply signal of the RFID tag. Such features do not support more fine-grained perceptual requirements, such as diluted/counterfeit/outdated food with subtle differences, fast actions by the user during non-contact human-computer interaction, etc.
In order to improve the RFID perception granularity, a representative solution is to use a plurality of labels (label arrays) to simultaneously perceive the target, so as to improve the spatial dimension information of the perception feature; another solution is to use frequency hopping communication to improve the frequency dimension information of the sensing features.
However, communication collisions between multiple tags and a delay in frequency switching of the RFID hopping pattern further reduce their sensing speed, and the use of multiple tags increases cost investment. Recent research suggests that in the RFID communication process, sensing granularity can be greatly improved by using additional devices to receive and transmit ultra-wideband signals (500-1000 MHz), but the cost of such ultra-wideband devices and the synchronization overhead between two signals are still high, and popularization is difficult.
Disclosure of Invention
The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method and a system for enhancing passive RFID-oriented spread spectrum and broadband sensing, which are based on a single set of RFID devices, are compatible with RFID protocols, meet the radio frequency spectrum allocation regulations, and can provide a novel RFID sensing technology with high granularity (multidimensional, high-speed) sensing characteristics.
The invention adopts the following technical scheme:
a spread spectrum and broadband perception enhancement method facing to passive RFID comprises the following steps:
s1, designing a generating mechanism of an OFDM symbol, carrying out amplitude control on the generated OFDM symbol and carrying out linear superposition on the OFDM symbol and an RFID continuous wave to form a remodulated continuous wave, transmitting the corresponding remodulated continuous wave during RFID communication, wherein a receiving signal comprises a plurality of orthogonal frequency components, and realizing a spread spectrum mechanism compatible with an RFID protocol;
s2, expanding the communication bandwidth, and reconfiguring the RFID communication parameters through an optimization algorithm, wherein the reconfiguration comprises a maximum value of the bandwidth, the range of the OFDM symbol length in the RFID protocol spread spectrum mechanism realized in the step S1 and other RFID baseband communication parameters;
and S3, according to the RFID spread spectrum and broadband transmission mechanism obtained in the step S2, the RFID equipment is utilized to receive and transmit the broadband signal spread spectrum in the step S2, a receiving end replies a high level and a low level of the signal from the tag, the high level corresponds to an on state, the low level corresponds to an off state, an OFDM symbol is extracted and channel frequency response is calculated, and a characteristic calculation mode with frequency priority and resolution priority is adopted for the channel frequency response aiming at static and dynamic targets, so that the perception enhancement of frequency dimension and time resolution dimension is realized.
Specifically, in step S1, the OFDM symbol generation mechanism is as follows:
grouping pseudo-random binary sequences, each group containing log 2 n binary bits, where n is the order of phase shift keying; mapping each binary bit group to a constellation diagram by adopting nPSK (binary phase Shift keying) to obtain a complex value containing a real part and an imaginary part; performing serial-to-parallel conversion on the N serial complex numbers to obtain N parallel complex numbers; performing a quasi-Fourier transform on the N parallel complex numbers to obtain N parallel complex numbers after the transform; and performing parallel-to-serial conversion on the converted N parallel complex numbers to obtain N serial complex numbers as one OFDM symbol.
Further, at least one complete OFDM symbol exists for each on and off state duration of the RFID tag reply signal:

wherein B is bandwidth, mu is label reply bit identification, M is base band signal sampling point number in label circuit state duration, f BLF Is the backscatter link frequency.
Specifically, in step S1, emitting the modulated continuous wave S in a manner of combining an amplitude-controlled linear amplification OFDM symbol, a linear superposition OFDM symbol, and an original continuous wave is:
s=α×s OFDM +s CW
wherein s is OFDM For the generated OFDM symbol, s CW Alpha is a linear amplification factor for the original continuous wave of the RFID.
Further, the modulated continuous wave s satisfies orthogonality among subcarriers, which is specifically:

wherein, d i Is the data carried by the ith subcarrier cos (i ω t), and ω is the subcarrier center angular frequency.
Specifically, in step S2, a target bandwidth B and other communication parameters are obtained by searching and matching through an optimization equation, and then the number of subcarriers is determined by observing the influence of subcarrier spacing on the sensing effect through experiments.
Further, the bandwidth B is determined by searching and matching through the optimization equation as follows:

the matrix is N multiplied by T, N is the number of subcarriers, and T is the number of high or low levels in the EPC signal replied by the RFID tag at one time in the time domain sequence.
Another technical solution of the present invention is a passive RFID-oriented spread spectrum and broadband perception enhancement system, including:
the spread spectrum module is used for designing a generation mechanism of the OFDM symbol, carrying out amplitude control on the generated OFDM symbol and carrying out linear superposition on the OFDM symbol and the RFID continuous wave to form a remodulated continuous wave, transmitting the remodulated continuous wave corresponding to RFID communication, and realizing a spread spectrum mechanism compatible with an RFID protocol, wherein a received signal contains a plurality of orthogonal frequency components;
the transmission module expands the communication bandwidth, reconfigures RFID communication parameters through an optimization algorithm, and comprises a maximum available value of the bandwidth, the range of OFDM symbol length in an RFID protocol spread spectrum mechanism of the spread spectrum module and other RFID baseband communication parameters, wherein if the RFID communication meets the parameter configuration, a radio frequency signal contains a plurality of orthogonal frequency components in a larger bandwidth range, so that the RFID spread spectrum and broadband transmission mechanism is realized;
and the enhancement module is used for receiving and transmitting the broadband signal spread by the enhancement module by using the RFID equipment according to an RFID spread spectrum and broadband transmission mechanism realized by the transmission module, replying the high level and the low level of the signal from the tag at a receiving end, wherein the high level corresponds to an on state and the low level corresponds to an off state, extracting an OFDM symbol and calculating channel frequency response, and aiming at static and dynamic targets, adopting a characteristic calculation mode with frequency priority and resolution priority for the channel frequency response to realize the perception enhancement of frequency dimension and time resolution dimension.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has at least the following beneficial effects:
the spread spectrum and broadband perception enhancement method facing the passive RFID can break through the dimensionality and rate limitation of the extracted features of the existing RFID perception system, is realized by depending on a single set of RFID equipment, does not need to introduce additional transceiving equipment, is compatible with an RFID protocol, does not influence the normal communication and original functions of the RFID, and does not exceed the allowed communication bandwidth of the RFID in industrial, scientific and medical frequency bands (ISM bands). The invention can provide the sensing characteristics of multiple frequencies (mutual independence) and high bandwidth (high time resolution), and is suitable for the practical application fields of non-invasive material detection, non-contact human-computer interaction, intelligent manufacturing and the like.
Furthermore, the OFDM symbol generated by the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing technology can enable the radio frequency signal to simultaneously contain a plurality of orthogonal frequency components on a specific bandwidth, compared with the traditional RFID sensing method that the signal strength or phase information is obtained from a single frequency for sensing, the method provided by the invention has the advantage that the frequency dimension information of the sensing signal is richer by calculating the channel frequency response of each frequency component of the signal. The invention chooses to enhance the perception based on the RFID, because the RFID is a low-energy-consumption communication technology with high popularization, wide deployment and low cost, and has strong practicability by providing more enhanced (compared with the prior art) perception capability on the basis of not influencing the normal work of the RFID. The RFID label reply signal adopts an On-Off Keying (OOK) modulation mode, the OFDM technology adopts a Phase Shift Keying (PSK) modulation mode, the two modulation modes are mutually independent, and no mutual influence exists during demodulation, so the invention also provides an additional data transmission capability for the RFID system.
Furthermore, the RFID tag reply signal adopts an on-off keying modulation mode, namely, the tag circuit has two states of 'on' and 'off', if the state switching is in a complete OFDM symbol and linear superposition period, larger signal fading can be generated to influence the sensing characteristic, so that when the length of the OFDM symbol is less than one half of the length of the 'on' and 'off' state, a complete OFDM symbol can be ensured to exist in each 'on' and 'off' state period, and the sensing characteristic extracted from the OFDM symbol is more robust.
Furthermore, the original continuous wave of the RFID is directly replaced by the generated OFDM symbol, so that the RFID tag cannot be activated to reply due to insufficient signal energy; if the original continuous wave of the RFID is replaced by the OFDM symbol subjected to linear amplification, when the energy meets the condition of activating the tag to reply, the waveform is noisy due to the overlarge linear amplification coefficient, and the reader-writer cannot correctly decode the data replied by the tag. Therefore, the modulated continuous wave s is transmitted in a mode of combining amplitude control (linear amplification of OFDM symbols) and linear superposition (OFDM symbols and original continuous waves), so that not only is the spread spectrum sensing of multi-frequency components realized, but also the normal communication of the RFID is not influenced.
Furthermore, the modulated integral is set through calculating the content supplementary explanation of the product of the target operator carrier and the received OFDM signal, and the fact that each subcarrier can be correctly separated is found, so that the purpose or the benefit of orthogonality among the subcarriers contained in each wave of the continuous wave s subjected to remodulation is still met, principle analysis is given, mutual interference and influence do not exist, the sensing characteristics extracted from each subcarrier (frequency component) contain independent sensing information, and the effectiveness of the spread spectrum sensing provided by the invention is proved.
Further, step S1 realizes the spread spectrum of the existing RFID system, but actually the RFID bandwidth is narrow (1 to 2 MHz), and if the communication bandwidth (2 to 26 MHz) allowed by the RFID in the industrial, scientific and medical band (ISM band) can be fully utilized to realize the RFID spread spectrum broadband transmission, the frequency dimension of the sensing feature extracted by the invention is wider and the time resolution is higher, but the communication parameter of the RFID is directly affected by the bandwidth conversion, so the reconfiguration needs to be performed according to the hardware characteristic and the protocol. The parameter configuration result determines a target bandwidth and other baseband communication parameters, but the number of subcarriers of an OFDM symbol determines a range, and experimental observation shows that after the number of subcarriers in a specific bandwidth is increased to a certain value, the gain caused by sensing is no longer obvious, and the calculation overhead is continuously increased, so that the specific number of subcarriers needs to be determined according to a sensing scene and experimental experience.
Furthermore, the target bandwidth and the baseband communication parameters are determined by searching and matching an optimization equation, and compared with the trial efficiency through repeated experiments, the method has higher trial efficiency, wherein the upper limit of the bandwidth has a definite reference basis in each country and region, namely the industrial, scientific and medical frequency band (ISM band); the selectable bandwidth in the range is determined by the hardware characteristics of equipment, namely when an extraction and interpolation operation factor D (the ratio between the digital-to-analog conversion rate of the antenna and the target bandwidth) is an integral power of 2 during signal receiving and transmitting, the signal cannot influence the perception effect due to the roll-off problem; in the selectable bandwidth, the RFID baseband communication parameters at least must ensure that the number of baseband sampling points of each command in the protocol is a positive integer, otherwise, the RFID cannot perform stable communication.
Furthermore, as the sending signal, namely the re-modulated continuous wave is a known complex sequence, the receiving signal is directly obtained by the RFID equipment, symbol synchronization can be realized through autocorrelation to obtain each complete OFDM symbol, the change between the receiving complex sequence and the receiving complex sequence is calculated one by one through a least square method, namely the channel frequency response, and the amplitude and phase information of each frequency component is included as the initial sensing characteristic. The RFID system adopts a self-sending and self-receiving communication mode, and the received signals do not need to be subjected to frequency offset estimation and correction, so that the calculation of the channel frequency response is more robust.
Further, since the invention does not affect the normal communication of the RFID, the bit sequence of the tag reply signal can be correctly obtained, so that the complete OFDM contained during the "high" and "low" levels, i.e. the "on" and "off" states, can be obtained and the channel frequency response calculated, respectively. When the high level of the signal is replied by the tag, the tag and the sensing target generate a coupling effect, and meanwhile, the signal is transmitted through the sensing environment, so that the high level signal comprises the sensing target and the environment information; when the tag replies the low level of the signal, the tag is in a non-response state, and the signal propagation also passes through the sensing environment, so that the low level signal only contains the environment information and aims at the static sensing target. Therefore, for a static sensing target, calculating the difference value of the high-level and low-level channel frequency responses as the static sensing characteristic F _ sta can remove the environmental influence from the sensing characteristic and retain the information about the sensing target; aiming at the dynamic sensing target, only the channel frequency response of OFDM symbols contained in the high level or the low level of the reply signal of the RFID tag is calculated, and the dynamic sensing characteristic F _ dyn is obtained by arranging according to the time domain sequence, so the time resolution of the sensing characteristic is improved by the high bandwidth. The invention provides a platform type technology which can sense whether a signal bears data, the number of frequency components (subcarriers), the setting of actual bandwidth, the calculation and optimization of characteristics and the like, and can further adjust or process according to actual application scenes and requirements. The invention can provide multi-frequency high-speed perception characteristics aiming at a single RFID label, and is also suitable for a multi-label (label array) scene, namely, the perception characteristics are enhanced from the space and frequency dimensions at the same time.
In conclusion, the passive RFID-oriented spread spectrum and broadband perception enhancement technology is realized by modulating the RFID continuous wave, expanding the communication bandwidth and extracting the perception characteristics, the perception granularity (frequency dimension and time resolution) of the conventional RFID perception system is greatly improved (2 orders of magnitude), and the passive RFID-oriented spread spectrum and broadband perception enhancement technology can be applied to two perception targets, namely a dynamic perception target and a static perception target and has good application value, research prospect and development potential.

The invention provides a passive RFID-oriented spread spectrum and broadband perception enhancement method, which is characterized in that an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing technology is utilized to customize RFID continuous waves and increase information of perception signal frequency dimension; the time resolution of the sensing signal is improved by optimizing and expanding the bandwidth of the hardware characteristic, the RFID protocol and the communication parameter; two feature extraction algorithms of frequency priority and time resolution priority are adopted, so that the perception features are suitable for different scenes and target requirements. The invention only needs a single set of RFID equipment, is compatible with the RFID protocol, accords with the spectrum allocation regulation, has the characteristics of universality, light weight, low cost, low overhead and the like, and has better application value, research prospect and development potential.
Referring to fig. 1, the present invention provides a passive RFID-oriented spread spectrum and broadband sensing enhancement method, including the following steps:
s1, frequency multiplexing: aiming at a certain specific communication bandwidth, combining an RFID protocol and an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing technology, designing a generation mechanism of an OFDM symbol, carrying out amplitude control on the generated OFDM symbol and carrying out linear superposition on the OFDM symbol and an RFID continuous wave, and realizing a spread spectrum mechanism compatible with the RFID protocol;
orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) divides a channel into a plurality of Orthogonal sub-channels, converts a high-speed data signal into parallel low-speed sub-data streams, and modulates the parallel low-speed sub-data streams onto each sub-channel for transmission. The orthogonal signals can be separated by using correlation techniques at the receiving end, which can reduce the mutual interference ICI between the sub-channels. The signal bandwidth on each subchannel is less than the associated bandwidth of the channel, and therefore can be viewed as flat fading on each subchannel, so that intersymbol interference can be eliminated. And since the bandwidth of each sub-channel is only a small fraction of the original channel bandwidth, channel equalization becomes relatively easy.
Each communication process of the RFID mainly includes a reader QUERY command, a tag RN16 reply, a reader ACK command, and a tag EPC reply, as shown in fig. 2. Each communication process runs on a single frequency, and the signal phase and strength information extracted by the existing RFID sensing system is also a sensing characteristic under the single frequency.
Continuous Wave (CW) defined by the RFID protocol is an unmodulated baseband signal with a constant amplitude, and is used to activate the RFID tag after being transmitted, and experiments show that a reply signal of the RFID tag only depends on the frequency of the Continuous Wave transmitted by the reader/writer, and is not sensitive to the waveform of the Continuous Wave, that is, the tag replies the signal as long as the frequency meets the requirement no matter the Continuous Wave transmitted by the reader/writer is a constant value or a random sequence, as shown in fig. 3. Therefore, the invention utilizes the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing technology to modulate the RFID continuous wave, so that the label reply signal comprises a plurality of orthogonal frequency components (subcarriers) which can be used for extracting the perception characteristics under different frequencies in the process of one-time RFID communication.
Specifically, the process of generating the OFDM symbol includes random sequence generation, constellation mapping, serial-to-parallel conversion, inverse fourier transform, and parallel-to-serial conversion: grouping pseudo-random binary sequences, each group containing log 2 n binary bits, where n is the order of Phase Shift Keying (PSK); mapping each binary bit group to a constellation diagram by adopting nPSK (binary phase Shift keying) to obtain a complex value (containing a real part and an imaginary part); performing serial-to-parallel conversion on the N serial complex numbers to obtain N parallel complex numbers; performing a quasi-Fourier transform on the N parallel complex numbers to obtain N parallel complex numbers after the transform; performing parallel-to-serial conversion on the converted N parallel complex numbers to obtain N serial numbersIs called an OFDM symbol.
The length N (upper limit of the number of subcarriers) of the OFDM symbol is limited by the RFID protocol. The RFID label reply signal adopts an on-off keying modulation mode, namely, a label circuit has two states of 'on' and 'off', and if the state switching is in a complete OFDM symbol period, larger signal fading is generated to influence the perception characteristic. The RFID protocol specifies the number M of baseband signal sampling points, the bandwidth B and the backscatter link frequency f in the state duration of a tag circuit BLF And data bit determination:
M=B/(μ×f BLF ) (1)
where μ =1 when the tag reply data is bit "1", and μ =2 when the tag reply data is bit "0".
If the length of one OFDM symbol is to be used
Figure GDA0003745009410000101
Then it is guaranteed that at least one complete OFDM symbol exists for each "on" and "off" state duration of the RFID tag reply signal:
Figure GDA0003745009410000102
furthermore, the original continuous wave of the RFID is directly replaced by a plurality of OFDM symbols, so that the RFID tag cannot be activated to reply due to insufficient signal energy; if the original continuous wave of the RFID is replaced by a plurality of linearly amplified OFDM symbols, the reader-writer cannot correctly decode the data returned by the tag because the waveform is too noisy. Therefore, the invention transmits modulated continuous waves in a way that combines amplitude control (linear amplification of OFDM symbols) and linear superposition (OFDM symbols and original continuous waves):
s=α×s OFDM +s CW (3)
where s is the actual transmitted modulated continuous wave, s OFDM For the generated OFDM symbol, s CW Alpha is a linear amplification factor (alpha is more than 1) for the original continuous wave of the RFID. Also, the present invention providesThe RFID continuous wave modulation mode still meets the orthogonality among all subcarriers of the transmission signals:
Figure GDA0003745009410000111
wherein d is i For the data (complex number) carried by the ith subcarrier cos (i ω t), ω is the subcarrier center angular frequency, and the integral of the product between different subcarriers in the transmitted signal remains zero (orthogonality).
Further, because the designed OFDM symbols are the same, each OFDM symbol can be used as a cyclic prefix/suffix of a next/previous symbol, so that an additional cyclic prefix/suffix does not need to be inserted into one OFDM symbol. Meanwhile, since the center subcarrier is affected by direct current offset (crystal oscillator leakage), the center subcarrier is not used for sensing in the invention.
S2, bandwidth expansion: when the communication bandwidth needs to be further expanded, according to the RFID hardware characteristics, protocol requirements and industrial, scientific and medical frequency bands (ISM bands), the RFID communication parameters are reconfigured again through an optimization algorithm, wherein the RFID communication parameters comprise a maximum value of the bandwidth, the range of the OFDM symbol length in the spread spectrum mechanism in the step S1 and other baseband communication parameters of the RFID, so that the RFID spread spectrum and broadband transmission mechanism is realized;
the RFID system is allocated with bandwidths (frequency spectrum resources) in different ranges of 2-26 MHz in different countries and regions of the world, but when the RFID system in real life operates, each complete communication process only occupies the bandwidth of 1-2 MHz, so that the bandwidth resources are wasted, and the perceived time resolution is lower when the RFID system is perceived by using a low-bandwidth signal (the perceived time resolution is equal to the reciprocal of the bandwidth).
Specifically, the invention improves the bandwidth of the signal frequency band by improving the sampling rate of the baseband. The sensing characteristics under different frequencies in a larger range can be obtained by improving the bandwidth of the sensing signal, the frequency dimension information sensed by using a single RFID tag is improved, and when more tags are introduced, the information of the sensing space and the frequency dimension can be improved simultaneously. On the other hand, the sensing is carried out by utilizing a large-bandwidth signal, the sensing time resolution is higher, and a fast moving target can be captured more accurately.
Maximum allowable bandwidth B of RFID according to industrial, scientific and medical frequency band (ISM band) u =26MHz, but the setting of its bandwidth B cannot simply choose the upper limit due to the hardware characteristics of the RFID device. The limitation of the hardware characteristics on the bandwidth setting mainly comes from the integrator-comb filter, and the decimation (decimation) and interpolation (interpolation) operation factor D (the ratio between the antenna digital-to-analog conversion rate r and the baseband sampling rate, i.e. the ratio between the antenna digital-to-analog conversion rate r and the baseband sampling rate during signal transceiving, i.e. the ratio
Figure GDA0003745009410000121
) Should be designed to be an integer power of 2, otherwise a large roll-off will occur around the center frequency of the signal, thereby affecting the perception. As shown in fig. 4, when the factor D is odd, the roll-off effect around the center frequency of the sensing signal generates significant distortion; when the factor D is an even number, the roll-off has relatively little effect; when the factor D is an integer power of 2 (2) i I is an integer), the roll-off effect disappears.
Meanwhile, the setting of the bandwidth B also influences the RFID protocol and the communication parameter theta RFID Arrangement of (a), theta RFID Mainly comprising f BLF TRcal, tari, etc., which together determine the number L (B, θ) of baseband signal samples for each type of RFID command ("QUERY", "RN16", "ACK", "EPC", etc.) RFID ). In order to ensure the processing of the baseband signal and establish a stable RFID communication link, the number of sampling points must be a positive integer. In summary, the setting of the bandwidth B requires searching and matching by the optimization equation:
Figure GDA0003745009410000122
after the target bandwidth B is obtained, the upper limit of the number of subcarriers included in the OFDM symbol may be calculated, and the specific number of subcarriers needs to be determined by observing the influence of the subcarrier spacing on the sensing effect through experiments. As shown in fig. 6, the bandwidth B =25MHz is set, the average difference of the sensing characteristics of the distilled water and the sodium sulfide solution is found in the case of 20,50,100,150 and 200 subcarriers, and it is found that the difference of the sensing characteristics is not improved significantly when the bandwidth B is increased to a certain extent. Therefore, it is more effective to select a moderate bandwidth in consideration of reducing the calculation overhead in practical application.
Further, if only the baseband sampling rate is increased without modulating the original continuous wave of the RFID, the bandwidth of the transmission signal band is still concentrated on the center frequency (about 1 MHz), and therefore, it is necessary to cooperate with the continuous carrier modulation in step S1, as shown in fig. 5.
S3, feature extraction: according to the RFID spread spectrum and broadband transmission mechanism provided in the step S2, the RFID equipment is utilized to transmit and receive the spread spectrum broadband signal, the receiving end transmits and receives the reply signal from the label, the receiving end extracts OFDM symbols from the high and low levels, namely the on and off states, of the reply signal of the label and calculates the channel frequency response, and the channel frequency response is subjected to a characteristic calculation mode with frequency priority and resolution priority aiming at different perception scenes such as static and dynamic targets, so that the perception enhancement of frequency dimension and time resolution dimension is realized.
The frequency domain received signal Y (f) is represented by the frequency domain transmitted signal X (f), the channel frequency response H (f), and the channel noise E:
Y(f)=H(f)·X(f)+E (6)
the method comprises the steps that f is a subcarrier frequency, received signals are directly obtained by hardware, transmitted signals are used as known quantities for perception, symbol synchronization of the received signals is achieved through an autocorrelation function, after each complete OFDM symbol is obtained, a least square algorithm is adopted to calculate channel frequency response, and the signal frequency response is further processed according to different perception scenes and targets to obtain broadband multi-frequency component perception characteristics.
Specifically, because the technology provided by the invention does not influence the normal communication of the RFID, the high and low levels (the circuit is in an on state and an off state) of the reply signal of the tag can be directly acquired by the RFID equipment. When the high level of the signal is replied by the tag, the signal and the sensing target generate a coupling effect, and the signal is transmitted through the sensing environment, so that the high level signal comprises the sensing target and the environment information; when the label replies the low level of the signal, the label is in a non-response state, the signal propagation also passes through the perception environment, and therefore, the low level signal only contains the environment information.
Aiming at a static sensing target, respectively calculating channel frequency responses corresponding to all subcarriers of OFDM symbols contained in high and low levels of RFID tag reply signals, and calculating the difference value of the two as a static sensing characteristic

Dynamic perceptual features
Figure GDA0003745009410000146
From the time dimension, the high bandwidth improves the temporal resolution of the perceptual features.
Furthermore, the RFID system adopts a self-sending and self-receiving communication mode, and the received signals do not need to be subjected to frequency offset estimation and correction, so the sensing characteristics are more robust.
Furthermore, the reply signal of the RFID tag adopts an On-Off Keying (OOK) modulation mode, the OFDM technology adopts a Phase Shift Keying (PSK) modulation mode, the two modulation modes are mutually independent, and no mutual influence exists during demodulation, so the invention also provides the additional data transmission capability for the RFID system.
The two obtained sensing characteristics are high-dimensional (frequency dimension) and high-speed (time resolution) sensing characteristics, have finer-grained sensing capability, can obtain sensing target characteristics in a wider frequency range, and can more accurately capture the sensing target characteristics moving at high speed. Meanwhile, the method is also applicable to a multi-label (label array) scene, namely, the perception features are simultaneously enhanced in the aspects of space, frequency dimension and time resolution.
