通信感知一体化/通感一体化:
无线通信和雷达传感在信号处理算法、设备以及一定程度上的系统架构方面都有很多共性。早期对通信系统和雷达系统共存的问题进行了广泛的研究,侧重是开发有效的干扰管理技术,使两个单独部署的系统能够在相互不干扰的情况下平稳运行。虽然雷达和通信系统可能在同一位置,甚至物理上集成,但它们在时间/频率域传输的是不同的两种信号。它们通过合作共享相同的资源,以最大限度地减少同时工作是对彼此之间的干扰。相应的措施包括波束赋形、合作频谱共享、主次频谱共享、动态共存等。
然而有效的干扰消除通常对节点的移动性和节点之间的信息交换有着严格的要求,因此频谱效率的提高实际比较有限。由于共存系统中的干扰是由发射两个独立的信号引起的,因此会存在是否可以同时使用一个发射信号同时进行通信和雷达传感的提问。雷达系统通常使用特别设计的波形,如短脉冲和啁啾,能够实现高功率辐射和简化接收机处理,然而这些波形对雷达探测来说不是必需的,例如无源雷达或无源传感以不同的无线电信号作为感知信号。
机器学习,特别是深度学习技术进一步促进了非专用无线电信号用于雷达传感的潜力。基于这些技术,传统雷达朝着更通用的无线感知方向发展。这里的无线感知可以广泛地指从接收到的无线电信号中检索信息,而不是在发射机上调制到信号的通信数据。对于感知目标位置相关的无线感知,可以通过常用的信号处理方法,对目标信号反射时延、到达角(Angle-of-Arrival,AoA)、离开角(Angle-of-Departure,AoD)、多普勒等动力学参数进行估计;对于感知目标物理特征,可以通过测量设备、对象、固有模式信号来实现。两种感知方式可以分别称为感知参数估计和模式识别。在这个意义上,无线感知是指使用无线电信号的更通用的传感技术和应用。
通信感知一体化(Integrated Sensing and Communication,ISAC)有潜力将无线感知集成到大规模移动网络中,可以称为感知移动网络(Perceptive Mobile Networks,PMNs)。PMN可以从目前的5G移动网络演变而来,有望成为一个无处不在的无线传感网络,同时提供稳定高质量的移动通信服务,可以建立在现有移动网络基础设施之上,而不需要对网络结构和设备进行重大改变。PMN将释放移动网络的最大能力,并避免花费高昂基础设施成本去额外单独建设新的广域无线传感网络。随着覆盖范围的扩大,综合通信和传感能力有望实现许多新的应用。感知移动网络能够同时提供通信和无线感知服务,并且由于其较大的宽带覆盖范围和强大的基础设施,有可能成为一种无处不在的无线传感解决方案。其联合协调的通信和传感能力将提高我们社会的生产力,并有助于催生出大量现有传感器网络无法有效实现的新应用。例如基于GSM的无线电信号的交通监控、天气预报和降雨遥感。感知移动网络可以广泛应用于交通、通信、能源、精准农业和安全领域的通信和传感,还可以为现有的传感器网络提供互补的传感能力,具有独特的昼夜操作功能,能够穿透雾、树叶甚至固体物体。
