Description

基于感知的通信方法及装置
本申请要求在2022年10月21日提交中国国家知识产权局、申请号为202211296757.0的中国专利申请的优先权,发明名称为“基于感知的通信方法及装置”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种基于感知的通信方法及装置。
背景技术
超宽带技术(ultra wideband,UWB)是一种无线载波通信技术,如可以利用纳秒级的非正弦波窄脉冲传输数据,因此其所占的频谱范围很宽。由于其脉冲比较窄,且辐射谱密度低,因此UWB具有多径分辨能力强,功耗低,保密性强等优点。
随着2002年UWB技术被批准进入民用领域,超宽带无线通信成为短距离、高速无线网络热门的物理层技术之一。许多世界著名的大公司、研究机构、标准化组织都积极投入到超宽带无线通信技术的研究、开发和标准化工作之中。电气与电子工程师协会(institute of electrical and electronics engineers,IEEE)已经将UWB技术纳入其IEEE 802系列无线标准,已经发布了基于UWB技术的无线个域网(wireless personal area network,WPAN)标准IEEE 802.15.4a,以及其演进版本IEEE 802.15.4z,目前下一代UWB无线个域网标准802.15.4ab的制定也已经提上日程。用UWB进行感知是802.15.4ab的重要的技术方向之一。例如,利用UWB进行感知时,可以采用脉冲簇的发射方式,每个脉冲簇中包含多个脉冲,脉冲簇重复间隔可以设置较大以保证较大的不模糊距离,同时,由于脉冲数较多,可以提高传输功率。
然而,目前存在的基于感知的通信方法中,感知结果的准确性还有待提高。
发明内容
本申请实施例公开一种基于感知的通信方法及装置,可以有效提高感知结果的准确性。
第一方面,本申请实施例提供一种基于感知的通信方法,所述方法包括:
获取控制信息,所述控制信息包括循环移位参数,所述循环移位参数用于指示M个循环移位位数,所述M个循环移位位数对应M个序列;其中,M=1时,所述M个循环移位位数为序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数;或者,M=2时,所述M个循环移位位数包括所述M个序列中的一个序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数和所述M个序列的相对循环移位位数,或者,所述M个循环移位位数包括所述M个序列中的序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数;或者,M大于2时,所述M个循环移位位数对应的所述M个序列中相邻序列的相对循环移位位数中至少有两个相对循环移位位数不同;基于所述控制信息处理信号。
本申请实施例中,M=1或M=2时,通信双方通过控制信息达到对循环移位位数的理解一致,从而有效避免了由于通信双方对循环移位位数的理解不一致导致的感知结果不准确的情况,提高了感知结果的准确性。
M大于2时,如果相邻序列的相对循环移位位数相同,则感知信号的接收端在执行相关操作时,旁瓣可能会出现重叠,从而导致旁瓣幅度较高,进而导致接收端无法有效确定出峰值位置(如最高峰),无法有效确定出零相关区(zero correlation zone,ZCZ),导致感知结果的准确性不高。然而,本申请实施例中,相邻序列的相对循环移位位数中至少有两个相对循环移位位数不同,由此感知信号的接收端对感知信号进行处理,如执行相关操作时,有效削弱了旁瓣出现重叠的情况,从而降低了旁瓣幅度高的概率。有效降低了非零相关区的旁瓣幅度,保证感知信号的接收端能够有效确定出零相关区,有效提高了感知结果的准确性。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述基于所述控制信息处理信号包括:基于所述M个循环移位位数和所述基准序列确定所述M个序列;基于所述M个序列处理信号。
本申请实施例中,感知信号的接收端基于控制信息可以确定M个序列,从而保证感知信号的接收端与感知信号的发送端对M个序列的理解一致。通信双发对M个序列的理解保持一致,则感知信号的接收端可以有效地基于该M个序列对接收到的感知信号进行相关,从而能够有效提高感知结果的准确性。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述基于所述M个序列处理信号包括:对所述M个序列和接收到的所述 信号进行相关;基于相关的结果确定目标的信息。
示例性的,基于相关的结果确定目标的信息包括:基于相关的结果确定零相关区,基于零相关区确定目标的信息。该目标的信息可以包括如下至少一项:目标的速度、目标的角度、目标的距离、目标的衰减。本申请实施例所示的相关可以包括自相关,如M个序列和接收到的信号进行自相关。示例性的,自相关可以理解为序列及其自身在不同时间点的元素相乘,以及乘积累加。由于接收端接收到的信号是通过M个序列确定的,因此M个序列与所述信号之间可以进行自相关。
在一种可能的实现方法中,所述获取控制信息包括:确定所述控制信息;或者,接收所述控制信息。
本申请实施例中,第一方面的执行主体可以为感知信号的接收端,而感知信号的接收端可以自己确定控制信息,然后向感知信号的发送端发送该控制信息;或者,感知信号的接收端可以接收控制信息。
第二方面,本申请实施例提供一种基于感知的通信方法,所述方法包括:
获取控制信息,所述控制信息包括循环移位参数,所述循环移位参数用于指示M个循环移位位数,所述M个循环移位位数对应M个序列;其中,M=1时,所述M个循环移位位数为序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数;或者,M=2时,所述M个循环移位位数包括所述M个序列中的一个序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数和所述M个序列的相对循环移位位数,或者,所述M个循环移位位数包括所述M个序列中的序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数;或者,M大于2时,所述M个循环移位位数对应的所述M个序列中相邻序列的相对循环移位位数中至少有两个相对循环移位位数不同;基于所述控制信息发送信号。
本申请实施例中,M=1或M=2时,通信双方通过控制信息达到对循环移位位数的理解一致,从而有效避免了由于通信双方对循环移位位数的理解不一致导致的感知结果不准确的情况,提高了感知结果的准确性。
M大于2时,如果相邻序列的相对循环移位位数相同,则感知信号的接收端在执行相关操作时,旁瓣很大可能会出现重叠,从而导致旁瓣幅度较高,进而导致接收端无法有效确定出峰值位置,无法有效确定出零相关区(zero correlation zone,ZCZ),导致感知结果的准确性不高。然而,本申请实施例中,相邻序列的相对循环移位位数中至少有两个相对循环移位位数不同,由此感知信号的接收端对感知信号进行处理,如执行相关操作时,有效削弱了旁瓣出现重叠的情况,从而降低了旁瓣幅度高的概率。有效降低了非零相关区的旁瓣幅度,进而保证感知信号的接收端能够有效确定出零相关区,有效提高了感知结果的准确性。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述基于所述控制信息发送信号包括:基于所述M个循环移位位数和所述基准序列确定所述M个序列;基于所述M个序列发送所述信号。
本申请实施例中,感知信号的发送端基于控制信息可以确定M个序列,从而保证感知信号的接收端与感知信号的发送端对M个序列的理解一致。通信双发对M个序列的理解保持一致,则感知信号的接收端可以有效地基于该M个序列对接收到的感知信号进行相关,从而能够有效提高感知结果的准确性。
在一种可能的实现方法中,所述获取控制信息包括:接收所述控制信息;或者,确定所述控制信息。
本申请实施例中,第二方面的执行主体可以为感知信号的发送端,而感知信号的发送端可以接收控制信息;或者,感知信号的发送端自己确定控制信息,然后向感知信号的接收端发送该控制信息。
结合第一方面或第二方面,在一种可能的实现方式中,所述相对循环移位位数大于或等于循环移位位数阈值,所述循环移位位数阈值基于相邻短突发之间的间隔确定。
本申请实施例中,循环移位位数阈值可以称为M个序列中相邻序列的相对循环移位位数中的最小循环移位位数。通过保证每个相对循环移位位数大于或等于循环移位位数阈值,可以使得通信双方通过M个循环移位位数确定的M个序列之间的零相关区的长度(或称为大小)大于或等于循环移位位数阈值,从而有效增加了不模糊距离,扩大了感知范围。不模糊距离可以理解为一个脉冲遇到目标产生的回波信号达到接收端时,下一个脉冲的直射径也刚好达到该接收端。因此,如果不模糊距离过小,则会导致接收端无法有效分辨出其接收到的信号所对应的脉冲。
结合第一方面或第二方面,在一种可能的实现方式中,所述控制信息还包括如下至少一项:短突发内的脉冲数量、短突发内相邻脉冲之间的间隔、相邻短突发之间的间隔。
本申请实施例中,控制信息中通过包括上述脉冲数量、短突发内相邻脉冲之间的间隔、相邻短突发之间的间隔,可使得接收端能够高效地接收到感知信号,提高通信效率。
结合第一方面或第二方面,在一种可能的实现方式中,第i个短突发内的脉冲由所述M个序列中每个序列的第i个元素确定,所述i为大于或等于1且小于或等于N的整数,所述N等于所述序列的元素个数,所述序列中的元素包括-1、0和+1,-1表示负脉冲,+1表示正脉冲,或者,-1表示正脉冲,+1表示负脉冲。
本申请实施例中,M大于或等于2时,短突发内的多个脉冲可以称为脉冲簇,第i个短突发内的脉冲由M个序列中每个序列的第i个元素确定,从而每个脉冲簇中包含多个脉冲,脉冲簇重复间隔(burst repetition interval,BPI)(也可以理解为相邻短突发之间的间隔)可以设置较大进而保证较大的不模糊距离。同时,由于脉冲数较多,还可以有效提高传输功率。
结合第一方面或第二方面,在一种可能的实现方式中,所述控制信息还包括序列标识、序列长度中的至少一项,所述序列标识、所述序列长度中的至少一项用于指示所述基准序列。
本申请实施例中,控制信息中通过包括用于指示基准序列的信息,可使得通信双方基于控制信息更高效更灵活地确定基准序列,从而基于基准序列有效地确定M个序列。
结合第一方面或第二方面,在一种可能的实现方式中,所述控制信息还包括如下至少一项:序列类型,所述序列类型包括第一序列类型,所述第一序列类型用于指示所述M个序列具有周期零相关区;循环移位的类型,所述循环移位的类型包括使用不同的相对循环移位位数。
本申请实施例中,控制信息中通过包括序列类型或循环移位类型中的至少一项,可以提高感知的灵活性。如通信双方可以基于控制信息确定具有周期零相关区的M个序列,该M个序列中相邻序列的相对循环移位位数中可以有至少两个不同的相对循环移位位数。又如通信双方可以基于控制信息确定具有周期零相关区的M个序列,该M个序列中相邻序列的相对循环移位位数可以相同。又如通信双方可以基于控制信息确定具有非周期零相关区的M个序列。
结合第一方面或第二方面,在一种可能的实现方式中,所述循环移位参数用于指示M个循环移位位数包括:所述循环移位参数包括M个序列中相邻序列的相对循环移位位数;或者,所述循环移位参数包括所述M个序列中相邻序列的相对循环移位位数与循环移位位数阈值的偏移量;或者,所述循环移位参数包括随机数生成算法的信息、随机数的比特数,所述随机数生成算法和所述随机数的比特数用于确定所述M个循环移位位数。
本申请实施例中,循环移位参数通过包括M个序列中相邻序列的相对循环移位位数可以有效节省信令开销。循环移位参数通过包括相对循环移位位数相对于循环移位位数阈值的偏移量可以进一步节省信令开销。循环移位参数通过包括随机数生成算法的信息和随机数的比特数,可使得通信双方通过该随机数生成算法和随机数的比特数生成相同的随机数,从而保证通信双方确定的M个循环移位位数保持一致,提高通信效率,还可以节省信令开销。
第三方面,本申请实施例提供一种通信装置,用于执行第一方面或第一方面的任意可能的实现方式中的方法。该通信装置包括具有执行第一方面或第一方面的任意可能的实现方式中的方法的单元。
第四方面,本申请实施例提供一种通信装置,用于执行第二方面或第二方面的任意可能的实现方式中的方法。该通信装置包括具有执行第二方面或第二方面的任意可能的实现方式中的方法的单元。

具体实施方式
为了使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请作进一步地描述。
本申请的说明书、权利要求书及附图中的术语“第一”和“第二”等仅用于区别不同对象,而不是用于描述特定顺序。此外,术语“包括”和“具有”以及它们的任何变形,意图在于覆盖不排他的包含。例如包含了一系列步骤或单元的过程、方法、系统、产品或设备等,没有限定于已列出的步骤或单元,而是可选地还包括没有列出的步骤或单元等,或可选地还包括对于这些过程、方法、产品或设备等固有的其它步骤或单元。
在本文中提及的“实施例”意味着,结合实施例描述的特定特征、结构或特性可以包含在本申请的至少一个实施例中。在说明书中的各个位置出现该短语并不一定均是指相同的实施例,也不是与其它实施例互斥的独立的或备选的实施例。本领域技术人员可以显式地和隐式地理解的是,本文所描述的实施例可以与其它实施例相结合。
在本申请中,“至少一个(项)”是指一个或者多个,“多个”是指两个或两个以上,“至少两个(项)”是指两个或三个及三个以上,“和/或”,用于描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,“A和/或B”可以表示:只存在A,只存在B以及同时存在A和B三种情况,其中A,B可以是单数或者复数。“或”表示可以存在两种关系,如只存在A、只存在B;在A和B互不排斥时,也可以表示存在三种关系,如只存在A、只存在B、同时存在A和B。字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。“以下至少一项(个)”或其类似表达,是指这些项中的任意组合。例如,a,b或c中的至少一项(个),可以表示:a,b,c,“a和b”,“a和c”,“b和c”,或“a和b和c”。
本申请实施例提供的技术方案可以适用于基于UWB技术的WPAN。如本申请实施例提供的方法可以适用于IEEE802.15系列协议,例如802.15.4a协议、802.15.4z协议或802.15.4ab协议,或者未来某代UWB WPAN标准等,这里不再一一列举。或者,本申请实施例提供的技术方案可以还可以应用于WLAN,如Wi-Fi中的IEEE802.11系列协议,例如802.11a/b/g协议、802.11n协议、802.11ac协议、802.11ax协议、802.11be协议或下一代的协议等,这里不再一一列举。示例性的,本申请实施例提供的技术方案可以支持Wi-Fi7,又可称为极高吞吐量(extremely high-throughput,EHT),又如支持Wi-Fi8,又可称为超高可靠性(ultra highreliability,UHR)或超高可靠性和吞吐量(ultra highreliability and throughput,UHRT)等。或者,本申请实施例提供的方法还可以应用于各类通信系统,例如,可以是物联网(internet of things,IoT)系统、车联网(Vehicle to X,V2X)、窄带物联网(narrow band internet of things,NB-IoT)系统,应用于车联网中的设备,物联网(IoT,internet of things)中的物联网节点、传感器等,智慧家居中的智能摄像头,智能遥控器,智能水表电表,以及智慧城市中的传感器等。还可以适用于LTE频分双工(frequency division duplex,FDD)系统、LTE时分双工(time division duplex,TDD)、长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)系统,也可以是第五代(5th-generation,5G)通信系统、第六代(6th-generation,6G)通信系统等。
UWB技术是一种新型的无线通信技术。它利用纳秒级的非正弦波窄脉冲传输数据,通过对具有很陡上升和下降时间的冲激脉冲进行调制,因此其所占用的频谱范围很宽,使信号具有吉赫(GHz)量级的带宽。UWB使用的带宽通常在1GHz以上。因为UWB系统不需要产生正弦载波信号,可以直接发射冲激序列,所以UWB系统具有很宽的频谱和很低的平均功率,UWB无线通信系统具有多径分辨能力强、功耗低、保密性强等优点,有利于与其他系统共存,从而提高频谱利用率和系统容量。另外,在短距离的通信应用中,UWB发射机的发射功率通常可以做到低于1毫瓦(mW),从理论上来说,UWB信号所产生的干扰可以相当于白噪声。这样有助于超宽带与现有窄带通信之间的良好共存。因此,UWB系统可以实现与窄带(narrowband,NB)通信系统同时工作而互不干扰。本申请实施例提供的方法可以由无线通信系统中的通信装置实现,一个通信装置中,实现UWB系统功能的模块可以被称为UWB模块(如可以用于发送UWB脉冲),实现窄带通信系统功能的模块可以被称为窄带通信模块,UWB模块和窄带通信模块可以为不同的装置或芯片等,本申请实施例对此不作限定。当然UWB模块和窄带通信模块也可以集成在一个装置或芯片上,本申请实施例不限制UWB模块和窄带通信模块在通信装置中的实现方式。示例性的,本申请实施例所示的感知信号可以由UWB模块发送。控制信息可以由UWB模块发送,或者,由窄带通信模块发送等,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
虽然本申请实施例主要以WPAN为例,尤其是应用于IEEE 802.15系列标准的网络为例进行说明。但是,本领域技术人员容易理解,本申请实施例涉及的各个方面可以扩展到采用各种标准或协议的其它网络。例如,无线局域网(wireless local area networks,WLAN)、蓝牙(BLUETOOTH)、高性能无线LAN(high performance radio LAN,HIPERLAN)(一种与IEEE 802.11标准类似的无线标准,主要在欧洲使用)以及广域网(WAN)或其它现在已知或以后发展起来的网络。因此,无论使用的覆盖范围和无线接入协议如何,本申请实施例提供的各种方面可以适用于任何合适的无线网络。
本申请实施例提供的方法可以由无线通信系统中的通信装置实现。该通信装置可以是UWB系统中涉及的装置。例如,该通信装置可以包括但不限于通信服务器、路由器、交换机、网桥、计算机、手机等。又例如,该通信装置可以包括中心控制点,如个人局域网(personal area network,PAN)或PAN协调者等。又例如,该通信装置可以包括用户设备(user equipment,UE),该用户设备可以包括各种具有无线通信功 能的手持设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备、物联网(internet of things,IoT)设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备等,这里不再一一列举。又例如,该通信装置可以包括芯片,该芯片可以设置于通信服务器、路由器、交换机或用户终端中等,这里不再一一列举。
作为示例,图1a和图1b是本申请实施例提供的一种通信系统的架构示意图。图1a是本申请实施例提供的一种星型拓扑结构,图1b是本申请实施例提供的一种点对点拓扑结构。如图1a所示,在星型拓扑中,一个中心控制节点可以与一个或多个其他设备之间进行数据通信。如图1b所示,在点对点拓扑结构中,不同设备之间可以进行数据通信。图1a和图1b中,全功能设备(full function device)和低功能设备(reduced function device)都可以理解为本申请所示的通信装置。其中,全功能设备与低功能设备之间是相对而言的,如低功能设备不能是PAN协调者(coordinator)。又如低功能设备与全功能设备相比,该低功能设备可以没有协调能力或通信速率相对全功能设备较低等。可理解,图1b所示的PAN协调者仅为示例,图1b所示的其他三个全功能设备也可以作为PAN协调者,这里不再一一示出。
可理解,本申请实施例所示的全功能设备和低功能设备仅为通信装置的一种示例,但凡通信装置能够实现本申请实施例所提供的基于感知的通信方法,均属于本申请实施例的保护范围。下文所示的感知发起者和感知应答者等可以是全功能设备,也可以是低功能设备,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
本申请实施例提供的方法可以应用于通信装置,作为示例,本申请实施例所示的通信装置可以包括感知发起者(initiator)、感知应答者(responder)。感知发起者和感知应答者是相对而言的,如感知发起者为发起感知流程的一方,则感知应答者可以为根据发起感知流程的一方所作出应答的一方。例如,感知发起者可以是UWB信号的发射端,感知应答者是UWB回波信号的接收端。又例如,感知发起者可以是UWB回波信号的接收端,感知应答者是UWB信号的发射端。感知请求者可以理解为向感知发起者发起感知请求的一方。在感知发起者是UWB信号的发射端,感知应答者是UWB回波信号的接收端的情况下由于感知发起者发送的UWB信号需要先到达目标,然后到达感知应答者(如UWB信号经过目标反射或散射后到达感知应答者),因此相对于感知发起者发送的UWB信号而言,感知应答者所接收到的信号可以称为UWB回波信号。可理解,为便于描述,下文中将UWB信号和UWB回波信号统称为UWB信号,不做区分。本申请实施例所示的UWB信号也可以称为感知信号或UWB脉冲(简称为脉冲)等。由于UWB信号应用于感知场景,因此该UWB信号也可以称为感知信号,可以理解的是,该感知信号也可以称为信号。
基于以上所示的感知发起者、感知应答者和感知请求者,本申请实施例提供了以下六种场景。可理解,图2a至图2f所示的场景仅为示例,不应将其理解为对本申请实施例的限定。
图2a和图2b可以理解为基于一个感知应答者的感知场景,如称为双站感知(bi-static sensing),图2c和图2d可以理解为基于多个感知应答者的感知场景,如称为多站感知(multi-static sensing)。同时,图2a和图2c中,感知发起者是UWB回波信号的接收端,感知应答者是UWB信号的发射端。图2b和图2d中,感知发起者是UWB信号的发射端,感知应答者是UWB信号的接收端。图2e和图2f可以理解为基于感知发起者、感知应答者和感知请求者参与的感知场景,如称为代理感知(sensing by proxy)。
如图2a所示,感知发起者可以向感知应答者发送控制信息,从而感知应答者基于该控制信息可以发送感知信号。感知发起者接收感知信号,基于该控制信息和感知信号获得目标的相关信息,如目标的距离、角度、速度、衰减等信息。如图2b所示,感知发起者可以向感知应答者发送控制信息,以及基于该控制信息发送感知信号。感知应答者接收控制信息和感知信号,基于该控制信息和该感知信号获得目标的相关信息。可选的,感知应答者可以向感知发起者发送反馈信息,感知发起者通过反馈信息获得与目标相关的信息。该反馈信息用于反馈目标的相关信息。如图2c所示,感知发起者可以向多个感知应答者发送控制信息,从而该多个感知应答者中的感知应答者可以基于该控制信息可以发送感知信号。感知发起者接收来自多个感知应答者的感知信号,基于该控制信息和多个感知信号获得目标的相关信息。如图2d所示,感知发起者可以向多个感知应答者发送控制信息,以及基于该控制信息发送感知信号。该多个感知应答者中的感知应答者接收控制信息和感知信号,基于该控制信息和该感知信号获得目标的相关信息。可选的,该多个感知应答者中的感知应答者可以向感知发起者发送反馈信息,感知发起者可以通过多个反馈信息获得与目标相关的信息。如图2e所示,感知请求者可以向感知发起者发送感知请求,感知发起者向感知应答者发送控制信息,感知应答者基于该控制信息发送感知信号,感知发起者接收感知信号,基于控制信息和感知信号获得目标的相关信息。可选的,感知发起者可以向感知请求者发送反馈信息。如图2f所示,感知请求者向感知发起者发送感知请求,感知发起者向感知应答者发送控制信息,感知发起者基于该控制信息发送感知信号。感知应答者基于控制信息和感知信号获得目标的相关信息。可选的,感知应答者发送反馈 信息,感知发起者接收该反馈信息,向感知请求者发送该反馈信息。
图4所示的方法可以应用于发送端和接收端,该发送端可以理解为感知信号的发送端或者,感知信号的发射端,该接收端可以理解为感知信号的接收端。
示例性的,如发送端可以包括全功能设备,接收端可以包括低功能设备;又如发送端可以包括低功能设备,接收端包括低功能设备;又如发送端包括低功能设备,接收端包括全功能设备;又如发送端和接收端都是全功能设备。
示例性的,发送端可以包括图2a所示的感知应答者,接收端可以包括图2a所示的感知发起者。又如,发送端可以包括图2b所示的感知发起者,接收端可以包括图2b所示的感知应答者。又如,发送端可以包括图2c所示的感知应答者,接收端可以包括图2c所示的感知发起者。又如,发送端可以包括图2d所示的感知发起者,接收端可以包括图2d所示的感知应答者。又如,发送端可以包括图2e所示的感知应答者,接收端可以包括图2e所示的感知发起者。又如,发送端可以包括图2f所示的感知发起者,接收端可以包括图2f所示的感知应答者。可理解,基于图2a至图2f所列举的发送端和接收端仅为示例,但凡能够实现本申请实施例提供的方法的装置均属于本申请实施例的保护范围,因此不应将上述列举示出的发送端和接收端理解为对本申请实施例的限定。可理解,本申请实施例是以发送端和接收端两侧来描述本申请实施例提供的方法的,但是该发送端和接收端在传输信息的过程中,还可以有其他装置的存在,如通过转发装置来转发发送端与接收端之间的信息等。因此,本申请实施例中信息的互相传递以本领域技术人员可以完成的技术手段实现即可,本申请实施例对于发送端和接收端之外的其他装置不作限定。
以上关于通信系统、发送端、接收端的说明下文同样适用。
目前存在一种脉冲簇的发射方式,该多个脉冲簇中的脉冲可以使用序列集进行编码,例如,+1对应一个正脉冲,-1对应一个负脉冲,0对应无脉冲,或者,+1对应一个负脉冲,-1对应一个正脉冲,0对应无脉冲。目前存在的脉冲簇的发射方式中,序列集中相邻序列之间的循环移位位数均相同。示例性的,该序列集中的序列可以包括三个元素,如+1、-1和0。一般来说,序列集中的序列可以包括三元序列(如ipatov序列)及其循环移位序列,该三元序列可以具有完备的周期自相关特性,同时该三元序列的循环移位序列也具有完备的周期自相关特性。由于序列集中的序列具有周期自相关特性,因此该序列集也可以称为周期零相关区(zero correlation zone,ZCZ)序列集。示例性的,关于ipatov序列的相关说明可以参考IEEE802.15.4z-2020.chapter15或IEEE802.15.4-2020.chapter15,本申请实施例对ipatov序列的具体内容不再一一列举。下文所示的三元序列可以理解为ipatov序列。完备的周期自相关特性可以理解为周期自相关的主瓣幅度等于序列中非零元素的个数,旁瓣幅度为0。
三元序列通过循环移位可生成具有周期ZCZ的序列集。将周期ZCZ序列集中的序列作为发射序列(也可以称为发射波形序列),可以有效降低旁瓣幅度,从而降低波形间的干扰,以及增加不模糊距离。图3是本申请实施例提供的一种发射序列的示意图。如图3所示,图3所示的发射(transmitted)表示发射序列,两个横线之间表示发射序列。或者,图3所示的发射表示感知信号的接收端接收到的通过直射径传输的信号。每一行表示一个脉冲簇,每个脉冲簇中有3个脉冲(pulse)(仅为示例),图3中的每一列表示一条三元序列及其循环前后缀。其中,两条横线之间的部分表示不同循环移位的序列集,第一条横线之上的部分是循环前缀,第二条横线之下的部分是循环后缀。图3中所示三元序列的长度为6(即三元序列的元素个数为6个),图3所示的3个序列的循环移位位数依次为0(第一个序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数为0),2(第二个序列相对于第一个序列的循环移位的位数为2),4(第三个序列相对于第一个序列的循环移位的位数为2),循环前后缀的长度为2。
发送端每次发射一个脉冲簇,经过脉冲簇重复间隔(burst repetition interval,BRI)之后,再发射下一个脉冲簇。接收端利用序列集的自相关特性,使用三元序列及其移位序列作为本地序列与接收到的信号做相关,根据相关的峰值位置等信息实现感知的测量。图3所示的掩藏的目标(maskedtarget)可以理解为反射径的延迟时间与直射径的延迟时间接近,或者,反射径的延迟时间小于图3所示的靠近目标和距离远的目标对应的延迟时间。接收端基于接收到的信号只恢复出两个序列的原因在于:接收端还没接收到所有的基于直射径传输的信号,就已经接收到了基于反射径传输的信号,从而导致基于直射径传输的信号掩盖了基于反射径传输的信号。距离远的目标(far-awaytarget)可以理解为距离发送端远的目标,如发送端发送脉冲簇之后,接收端还未接收到该脉冲簇,发送端又发送了一个脉冲簇,从而导致接收端可能在发送端又发送一个脉冲簇之后,才接收到前一个脉冲簇的回波。可理解,图3所示的掩藏的目标、靠近目标(close-bytarget)和距离远的目标可以理解为基于感知信号检测到的三个目标,反射径的延迟时间依次递 增。
一般来说,在循环前缀和循环后缀的长度固定的情况下,该循环前缀和循环后缀可以基于图3所示的两个横线之间的序列得到。因此为便于简洁,本申请实施例所示的发射序列可以理解为图3所示的横线之间的序列。可理解,图3所示的序列的长度、一个脉冲簇中包括的脉冲个数、循环前缀的长度、循环后缀的长度等仅为示例,不应将其理解为对本申请实施例的限定。
图3中所示的序列(两条横线之间的序列)、脉冲簇、脉冲、感知信号之间的关系可以如下所示:
每一列可以表示一个序列,序列的长度等于短突发的数量,序列的个数对应每个短突发内的脉冲个数。每个短突发内的脉冲由每个序列的对应元素确定,如序列的长度为N,则第i个短突发内的脉冲由每个序列中的第i个元素确定,i为大于或等于1且小于或等于N的整数。如第i个元素包括+1,则对应正脉冲,第i个元素包括-1,则对应负脉冲,第i个包括0,则对应无脉冲;又如第i个元素包括+1,则对应负脉冲,第i个元素包括-1,则对应正脉冲,第i个包括0,则对应无脉冲。发送端发送的脉冲可以理解为感知信号。可理解,一个短突发内的多个脉冲还可以称为一个脉冲簇。
循环前缀可以基于循环前缀的长度以及序列确定,循环后缀可以基于循环后缀的长度及序列确定。示例性的,循环前缀的长度为x1,则与循环前缀对应的短突发个数为x1,短突发内的脉冲可以由循环前缀的对应元素确定。示例性的,循环后缀的长度为x2,则与循环后缀对应的短突发个数为x2,短突发内的脉冲可以由循环后缀的对应元素确定。x1+x2=x,则发送端在一个感知时隙中发送的短突发的个数为N+x。x1、x2和x均为正整数。
这里所示的关于序列、脉冲簇、脉冲、感知信号、循环前缀和循环后缀的说明下文同样适用。
以上所示的脉冲簇的发射方式中,周期ZCZ序列集中的任意两个相邻序列之间的相对循环移位位数相同。如图3所示,第二个序列相对于第一个序列的循环移位的位数与第三个序列相对于第二个序列的循环移位的位数相同。也就是说,周期ZCZ序列集中的相邻序列由三元序列依次相对前一序列进行相同位数的循环移位构成。由于相邻序列的相对循环移位的位数相同,则感知信号的接收端在执行相关操作时,旁瓣很大可能会出现重叠,从而导致旁瓣幅度较高,进而导致接收端无法有效确定出峰值位置,无法有效确定出ZCZ(即零相关区的位置判断会不准确),导致感知结果的准确性不高。以及由于相对循环移位位数相同且已知,很容易使不是真正接收端的通信装置生成正确的本地序列,从而与接收到的序列做相关之后,监听到目标的信息,造成目标的相关信息泄露。
鉴于此,本申请实施例提供一种基于感知的通信方法及装置,相邻序列之间的相对循环移位位数中至少有两个相对循环移位位数的取值不同,从而降低非零相关区的旁瓣幅度,有效提高零相关区的位置的判断准确性,提高感知结果的准确性。有效改善由于任意两个相邻序列之间的相对循环移位位数相同而导致非零相关区的旁瓣幅度高的情况,提高零相关区位置的判断准确性,从而有效提高感知结果的准确性。可选的,相邻序列之间的相对循环移位位数中至少有两个相对循环移位位数的取值不同,使得不是真正接收端的通信装置无法获知本地序列,避免其监听到目标的信息,有效改善目标的相关信息泄露的情况,增加了感知的安全性。
在介绍本申请实施例提供的方法流程之前,以下详细说明本申请实施例所示的相对循环移位位数、循环移位参数(如M个循环移位位数)以及控制信息。
一、相对循环移位位数
相对循环移位位数可以理解为一个序列相对于另一个序列的循环移位位数。这里所示的两个序列可以理解为M个序列中的相邻序列。示例性的,M个序列中的第j个序列与第j+1个序列属于相邻序列,或者,第j个序列与第j-1个序列也属于相邻序列。同时,M个序列中的第一个序列与最后一个序列也属于相邻序列。j为大于或等于1且小于或等于M的整数。
可理解,M个序列中相邻序列包括该M个序列中的最后一个序列和第一个序列。因此,M个序列可以对应M个相对循环移位位数,但是为便于通信双方能够有效地确定M个序列中的每个序列,因此循环移位参数所指示的M个循环移位位数中与第一个序列对应的循环移位位数可以由该第一个序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数确定。举例来说,循环移位参数包括M个序列中相邻序列的相对循环移位位数的情况下,该循环移位参数中可以不包括第一个序列相对于最后一个序列的循环移位位数。因为如果循环移位参数中包括第一个序列相对于最后一个序列的循环移位位数、第二个序列相对于第一个序列的循环移位位数等,依次类推,则通信双方无法有效地基于基准序列确定M个序列中的任何一个序列。本申请实施例在涉及到相对循环移位位数的具体取值的相关说明中,相对循环移位位数可以包括第一个序列相对于最后一 个序列的循环移位位数,相邻序列可包括M个序列中的第一个序列与最后一个序列,但是在涉及到循环移位参数中的相对循环移位位数的相关说明中,相对循环移位位数不包括第一个序列相对于最后一个序列的循环移位位数。
当然,通信双方基于M个序列所对应的M个相对循环移位位数,可以确定出该M个序列中的每个序列的情况下,循环移位参数中的相对循环移位位数可以包括M个序列中的第一个序列相对于最后一个序列的循环移位位数。
需要说明的是,本领域技术人员可以理解关于相对循环移位位数的一些特征说明(如下文所示的第二项~第四项中的至少一项)还可以适用于如下类型的循环移位位数:如M个序列中的非第一个序列相对于第一个序列的循环移位位数(如适用于第二项和第四项);又如M个序列中的每个序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数(如适用于第二项和第四项)。类似的,关于相对循环移位位数的特征说明还可以适用于:如M个循环移位位数与循环移位位数阈值的偏移量(如适用于第二项和第四项);又如M个序列中相邻序列的相对循环移位位数与循环移位位数阈值的偏移量(如适用于第二项~第四项)等,这里不再一一列举。
本申请实施例所示的相对循环移位位数的取值可以满足如下至少一项:
第一项、相对循环移位位数大于或等于循环移位位数阈值(也可以理解为相对循环移位位数的取值大于或等于循环移位位数阈值的取值),该循环移位位数阈值基于相邻短突发之间的间隔确定。
示例性的,循环移位位数阈值基于相邻短突发之间的间隔、光速确定。示例性的,该循环移位位数阈值基于相邻短突发之间的间隔、光速、感知范围确定。该感知范围可以理解为感知信号的感知范围,或者,通信双方基于先验信息确定的感知范围等,本申请实施例对于该感知范围的具体取值不作限定。该循环移位位数阈值还可以称为最小的循环移位位数或最小循环移位位数等。可理解,相对循环移位位数大于或等于循环移位位数阈值,但是基于M个循环移位位数确定的M个相对循环移位位数中的最小值(即M个循环移位位数对应的实际的最小相对循环移位位数)不一定是循环移位位数阈值,如可能大于该循环移位位数阈值。
示例性的,该循环移位位数阈值可以满足如下公式:
其中,Nmin表示循环移位位数阈值,R表示感知范围,c表示光速,BRI表示脉冲簇之间的间隔。可理解,脉冲簇之间的间隔可以理解为相邻短突发之间的间隔。
需要说明的是,M个序列中第j个序列与第j+1个序列是相邻序列,该第j个序列与第j-1个序列是相邻序列,M个序列中的最后一个序列与该M个序列中的第一个序列也是相邻序列。
第二项、第一个短突发具有良好的自相关特性。
这里所示的第一个短突发不包括循环前缀对应的短突发,不包括循环后缀对应的短突发,如可以理解为M个序列中由每个序列中的第一个元素确定的短突发。在一段时间内的第一个短突发具有良好的自相关特性。例如,该一段时间可以理解为基于控制信息中的循环移位参数确定的M个序列对应的时间段。示例性的,该一段时间与循环前缀对应的时间以及循环后缀对应的时间之和可以统称为感知时隙(sensing slot),如在一个感知时隙内,感知信号的发送端可以发送如图3所示的三个序列对应的10个短突发内的脉冲。又如,在一个感知时隙内,感知信号的发送端可以发送M个序列对应的N+x个短突发内的脉冲,N表示序列的长度,x表示循环前缀和循环后缀的长度之和。
良好的自相关特性可以理解为主瓣幅度和旁瓣幅度的比值大于或等于某个阈值。对于该某个阈值的具体取值,本申请实施例不作限定。第一个短突发具有良好的自相关特性,可以使得接收端更容易找到直射径到达的位置,从而接收端找到直射径到达的位置(如图5a和图5b中的原点)之后,可以删除该直射径所在位置之前的缓存(buffer),有效减少了接收端的缓存大小。可理解,接收端基于第一个短突发确定直射径到达的位置之后,后续短突发的位置可以随着确定。因此,对于后续短突发的自相关特性,本申请实施例不作限定。
第三项、M个序列中相邻序列的相对循环移位位数中可以至少有两个相对循环移位位数不同。
如果相邻序列之间均使用相同的相对循环移位位数,则非零相关区的旁瓣幅度会比较高,如图5a所示,图5a示出了接收端的归一化自相关结果。图5a中的横坐标表示采样点(也可以为timeshift),单位为码片,纵坐标表示归一化自相关的结果。从图5a可以看出,在零相关区内,除了直射径(line of sight,LOS)径之外(如图5a原点所在位置),还有3个非直射径(non-line of sight,NLOS)径,分别对应3个目标。在非零相关区内,除了有LOS径和NLOS径之外,还存在一些自相关旁瓣。因此,接收端需要通过寻找 最高峰值所在的位置,根据最高峰所在位置判断ZCZ的起始位置,基于相对循环移位位数中的最小循环移位位数和相邻短突发之间的间隔获得ZCZ的长度,从而获得ZCZ的准确位置,得到目标数量及目标距离等信息。然而,当存在噪声等非理想因素的情况下,旁瓣幅度有可能高于主瓣幅度。从而导致接收端无法有效确定ZCZ的准确位置,降低了接收端感知的准确性。示例性的,图5a中的ZCZ长度可以等于相对循环移位位数中的最小循环移位位数*相邻短突发之间的间隔/2。示例性的,ZCZ长度可以等于相对循环移位位数中的最小循环移位位数*相邻短突发之间的间隔*光速/2。
然而,本申请实施例中,有效改善使用相同位数的相对循环移位位数的情况。如图5b所示,图5b示出的是包括至少两个不同的相对循环移位位数时,接收端的归一化自相关结果示意图。从图5b可以看出,通过使用不同的相对循环移位位数,有效降低了非ZCZ区域的旁瓣幅度。从而接收端可以有效地找到最高的峰值,有效保证接收端能够准确地确定ZCZ,提高接收端感知的准确性。
第四项、在不同感知时隙内,循环移位位数可以发生变化。
可理解,当循环移位位数发生变化时,如果接收端本地存储的M个循环移位位数与发送端的不一致,则接收端无法有效提取目标的相关信息。如图5c所示,图5c所示的场景与图5a一致,均包括三个目标。然而,由于通信双方保存的M个循环移位位数不同,因此图5c中的ZCZ中包括多个峰值,从而导致接收端无法分辨出有效目标。
因此,本申请实施例中,通信双方可以通过控制信息获取循环移位位数,或者,通过控制信息获取循环移位位数、基准序列、短突发的脉冲数量等,从而保证通信双方获取到的信息具有一致性。示例性的,循环移位参数指示的M个循环移位位数可以不变,或者,该循环移位参数指示的M个循环移位位数可以在不同感知时隙内进行变化。本申请实施例对于感知时隙的数量不作限定,一般来说,该感知时隙的数量可以由通信双方约定,或者,由协议定义等,不再一一列举。
本申请实施例中,真正的接收端(如合法的通信装置)可以基于控制信息获取循环移位位数,而不是真正的接收端(非法的监听设备),由于无法有效获取循环移位位数,因此其有效获取M个序列,从而无法提取出目标的信息,从而有效提高了感知的安全性,有效保护了目标的相关信息。
基于上文介绍的第一项至第三项中的至少一项确定的循环移位位数的取值均属于本申请实施例的保护范围。作为示例,表1是本申请实施例提供的循环移位位数的不同例子。表1所示的循环移位位数中的第一个位数为序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数,其他位数为对应序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数。示例性的,表1所示的基准序列为{1,1,1,1,1,-1,1,0,-1,1,-1,0,-1,-1,-1,1,-1,-1,0,1,-1,1,1,-1,-1,1,1,0,-1,1,-1,1,0,0,1,0,1,1,1,1,-1,-1,-1,1,1,0,1,1,1,-1,-1,-1,1,1,-1,1,-1}。以循环移位位数中的第一行为例,序列长度为57(不包括循环前缀和循环后缀),M=4,第一个序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数为1,第二个序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数为14,即第二个序列与第一个序列的相对循环移位位数为13。第三个序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数为23,即第三个序列与第二个序列的相对循环移位位数为9。第四个序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数为35,第四个序列与第三个序列的相对循环移位位数为12。第一个序列与第四个序列也是相邻序列,第一个序列相对于第四个序列的循环移位位数为23。
可理解,表1是以序列长度为57,即包括57个元素(元素包括+1、0、-1)为例,以及一个短突发中包括4~8个脉冲为例示出的,但是不应将其理解为对本申请实施例的限定。
可理解,表1所示的循环移位位数仅为示例,在序列的长度为57,一个短突发中包括4个脉冲时,循环移位位数还可以有其他取值,不再一一列举。对于其他长度的序列、脉冲数量、循环移位位数的例子,本申请实施例不再示出。
表1



以上所示的关于相对循环移位位数的说明,下文均适用,下文不再赘述。
二、循环移位参数
循环移位参数用于指示M个循环移位位数,该M个循环移位位数对应M个序列。该M个循环移位位数对应M个序列可以理解为:该M个循环移位位数与M个序列之间具有对应关系;或者,该M个循环移位位数可以用于确定M个序列;或者,该M个序列中序列之间的循环移位位数由M个循环移位位数确定。举例来说,M大于或等于2时,M个循环移位位数中的第j个循环移位位数可以对应M个序列中的第j个序列,如第j个序列相对于某个序列的循环移位位数等于第j个循环移位位数,j为大于或等于1且小于或等于M的整数。对于M个序列来说,上述某个序列可以包括基准序列、第j-1个序列、第j+1个序列、第一个序列中的至少一项。作为一个示例,该某个序列可以为M个序列中的第j-1个序列。作为另一个示例,该某个序列可以为M个序列中的第一个序列。作为又一个示例,该某个序列可以为基准序列。可理解,不管上述某个序列如何设置,M个循环移位位数对应的M个序列中相邻序列的相对循环移位位数中至少有两个相对循环移位位数不同;或者,可以理解为基于循环移位参数确定的M个序列中相邻序列的相对循环移位位数中至少有两个相对循环移位位数不同。
本申请实施例中,第j个序列相对于某个序列的循环移位位数可以是该第j个序列相对于某个序列的向左循环移位的位数,或者,是第j个序列相对于某个序列的向右循环移位的位数。一般来说,M个循环移位位数均是向左循环移位的位数,或者,均是向右循环移位的位数。
可理解,以上所示的循环移位参数也可以理解为:该循环移位参数用于指示M个序列对应的M个循环移位位数;或者,该循环移位参数用于指示M个序列对应的循环移位位数。
可理解,通信双方基于循环移位参数确定的M个序列的循环移位序列,或者,M个序列的取反序列,或者,M个序列的逆序序列等均可以作为发射序列。只要通信双方对发射序列的理解达到一致即可。
示例性的,M=1,即循环移位参数用于指示一个循环移位位数,该循环移位位数为序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数。作为一个示例,该基准序列可以基于控制信息中的序列标识、序列长度中的至少一项确定。如控制信息还可以包括序列标识,该序列标识可以用于指示基准序列。又如控制信息还可以包括序列长度,该序列长度可以用于指示基准序列的长度。如序列长度为57(即序列中的元素为57个),则通信双方可以确定基准序列的长度为57,从而从三元序列中查找长度为57的序列,或者,从具有完备的周期自相关特性的序列中查找长度为57的序列。控制信息中通过包括序列长度或序列标识中的至少一项,可使得通信双方基于该序列长度或序列标识明确获知基准序列,提高通信双方交互的效率。作为另一个示例,该基准序列可以由步骤401所示的控制信息之前的控制信息指示。如为节省信令开销,在基准序列不变的情况下,该通信双方可以基于步骤401所示的控制信息之前的包括序列长度或序列标识至少一项的控制信息确定基准序列。作为又一个示例,基准序列可以为通信双方经过协商后的序列,或者,可以为协议定义的序列。本申请实施例对于基准序列的设置方法不作限定。
举例来说,M=1时,循环移位参数用于指示一个循环移位位数包括:该循环移位参数包括该循环移位位数相对于某个值的偏移量。该某个值可以由通信双方约定,或者,由协议定义等,本申请实施例对此不作限定。通过偏移量的方式指示序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数可以有效节省信令开销。又举例来说,该循环移位参数可以包括序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数,该种方式,可以使得通信双方明确获知循环移位位数,更简单。又举例来说,该循环移位参数可以包括随机数生成算法的信息和随机数的比特数。通过随机数生成算法生成多个比特,然后从多个比特中选取一定比特数(与循环移位参数中指示的比特数一致),该一定比特数表示的数值(如十进制数值)为循环移位位数。例如,通信双方可以用该一定比特数表示的数值作为序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数;或者,通信双方可以用该一定比特数表示的数值与循环移位位数阈值的和作为序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数。通过随机数的生成算法确定循环移位位数,安全性更高。
本申请实施例中,M=1时,通信双方通过控制信息达到对循环移位位数的理解一致,从而有效避免了由于通信双方对循环移位位数的理解不一致导致的感知结果不准确的情况,提高了感知结果的准确性。
示例性的,M=2,即循环移位参数用于指示2个循环移位位数。例如,该2个循环移位位数包括2个序列中的一个序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数和这2个序列的相对循环移位位数。又例如,M个循环移位位数包括M个序列中的序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数。可理解,M=2时,关于循环移位参数用于指示M个循环移位位数的方式可以示例性地参考下文M大于2时的描述。
示例性的,M大于2,循环移位参数用于指示M个循环移位位数,该M个循环移位位数对应的M个序列中相邻序列的相对循环移位位数中至少有两个相对循环移位位数不同。
作为一个示例,M个序列中的第一个序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数可以为M个循环移位位数中的第一个位数。又如该M个序列中第二个序列相对于第一个序列的循环移位的位数为该第二个位数。又如M个序列中的第三个序列相对于第二个序列的循环移位的位数为该第三个位数。又如M个序列中的第四个序列相对于第三个序列的循环移位的位数为该第三个位数。以此类推,这里不再一一列举。
作为另一个示例,M个序列中的第一个序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数可以为M个循环移位位数中的第一个位数。又如该M个序列中第二个序列相对于第一个序列(或基准序列)的循环移位的位数为该第二个位数。又如M个序列中的第三个序列相对于第一个序列(或基准序列)的循环移位的位数为该第三个位数。又如M个序列中的第四个序列相对于第一个序列(或基准序列)的循环移位的位数为该第三个位数。以此类推,这里不再一一列举。
循环移位参数用于指示M个循环移位位数可以包括如下方式:
作为一个示例,循环移位参数可以包括M个循环移位位数,该M个循环移位位数包括M个序列中相邻序列的相对循环移位位数。如M个循环移位位数可以依次是M个序列中的第一个序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数、M个序列中第二个序列相对于第一个序列的循环移位位数、M个序列中第三个序列相对于第二个序列的循环移位位数、…、M个序列中第M个序列相对于第M-1个序列的循环移位位数。或者,循环移位参数可以包括M个循环移位位数,该M个循环移位位数可以是第一个序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数以及M个序列中相邻序列之间的循环移位位数。
示例性的,表2是本申请实施例提供的一种循环移位参数的示意。
表2

可理解,表2所示的序列1表示M个序列中的第一个序列,序列2表示M个序列中的第二个序列,依次类推,序列M表示M个序列中的第M个序列。
示例性的,序列1的循环移位位数可以是序列1相对于基准序列的循环移位位数,或者,序列1相对于基准序列的循环移位位数与循环移位位数阈值(或第一循环移位位数)的偏移量等。序列2的循环移位位数可以是序列2相对于序列1的循环移位位数,或者,序列2相对于序列1的循环移位位数与循环移位位数阈值(或第一循环移位位数)的偏移量等。序列3的循环移位位数可以是序列3相对于序列2的循环移位位数,或者,序列3相对于序列1的循环移位位数,或者,序列3相对于序列2的循环移位位数与循环移位位数阈值(或第一循环移位位数)的偏移量,或者,序列3相对于序列1的循环移位位数与循环移位位数阈值(或第一循环移位位数)的偏移量。以此类推,这里不再一一列举。
作为另一个示例,循环移位参数可以包括M个序列中非第一个序列相对于第一个序列的循环移位位数和第一个序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数。例如,循环移位参数包括M个序列中第一个序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数、M个序列中第二个序列相对于第一个序列的循环移位位数、M个序列中第三个序列相对于第一个序列的循环移位位数,依次类推。也就是说,循环移位参数中可以包括M个序列中的第一个序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数以及M个序列中的非第一个序列相对于第一个序列的循环移位位数。
作为又一个示例,循环移位参数包括M个序列中非第一个序列相对于第一个序列的循环移位位数与循环移位位数阈值的偏移量,以及第一个序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数与循环移位位数阈值的偏移量。示例性的,循环移位参数可以包括M个序列中的第一个序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数与循环移位位数阈值的偏移量、M个序列中第二个序列相对于第一个序列的循环移位位数与循环移位位数阈值的偏移量、M个序列中第三个序列相对于第一个序列的循环移位位数与循环移位位数阈值的偏移量,依次类推。
作为又一个示例,循环移位参数可以包括M个序列中相邻序列的相对循环移位位数与循环移位位数阈值的偏移量,以及第一个序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数与循环移位位数阈值的偏移量。示例性的,循环移位参数可以包括M个序列中的第一个序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数与循环移位位数阈值的偏移量、M个序列中第二个序列相对于第一个序列的循环移位位数与循环移位位数阈值的偏移量、M个序列中第三个序列相对于第二个序列的循环移位位数与循环移位位数阈值的偏移量,依次类推。
可理解,以上所示的偏移量的方式中,循环移位位数阈值仅为示例,如该循环移位位数阈值可以替换为第一个序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数。示例性的,M个序列中第一个序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数为第一循环移位位数,则循环移位参数可以包括0、M个序列中第二个序列相对于第一个序列的循环移位位数与第一循环移位位数的偏移量、M个序列中第三个序列相对于第一个序列的循环移位位数与第一循环移位位数的偏移量,依次类推。示例性的,循环移位参数可以包括0、M个序列中第二个序列相对于第一个序列的循环移位位数与第一循环移位位数的偏移量、M个序列中第三个序列相对于第二个序列的循环移位位数与第一循环移位位数的偏移量,依次类推。
可理解,在通过偏移量的方式指示M个循环移位位数的情况下,控制信息中可以包括上述循环移位位数阈值或第一循环移位位数。控制信息中通过包括循环移位位数阈值和第一循环移位位数可使得通信双方有效获知M个循环移位位数的具体确定方式。
通过偏移量的方式指示M个循环移位位数可以有效节省信令开销。
作为又一个示例,循环移位参数包括随机数生成算法的信息、随机数的比特数,随机数生成算法和随机数的比特数用于确定M个循环移位位数。也就是说,通信双方均基于随机数生成算法生成一些随机数,这些随机数可以作为M个序列的循环移位位数。可理解,发送端和接收端生成的随机数需要保持一致。由此,在未通过控制信息更新循环移位参数的情况下,通信双方均可以通过随机数生成算法生成相同的随机数。
通过配置一个种子,收发双发通过该种子生成相同的随机数,基于随机数和随机数的比特数确定循环移位位数,如表3所示。
表3

其中,种子类型表示随机数的生成算法。示例性的,种子类型取值为0表示通过加扰时间戳序列(scrambled timestamp sequence,STS)(如AES-128算法)生成随机数;种子类型取值为1表示通过线性反馈移位寄存器(linear feedback shift register,LFSR)生成随机数。
随机位数表示一个循环移位位数所对应的比特数,通信双方基于随机数的生成算法生成的随机数和该随机位数可以确定每个序列的循环移位位数。
STS参数(STS Parameter)与种子类型对应,如种子类型表示通过STS生成随机数时存在该STS参数。示例性的,当种子类型取值为0时存在该STS参数,其中,Octets 0-11表示StsVUpper96,Octets 12-15表示StsVCounter,Octets 16-31表示STS密钥(StsKey)。其中,StsVUpper96和StsVCounter共同构成128比特(以AES-128为例是128比特)的STS数据。当种子类型取值为1时不存在该STS参数。
LFSR参数(LFSR Parameter)与种子类型对应,如种子类型表示通过LFSR生成随机数时存在该LFSR参数。示例性的,当种子类型取值为1时存在该LFSR参数,表3中的LFSR参数可以表示LFSR的初始状态,初始状态包含的比特数等于LFSR中的移位寄存器数量。当种子类型取值为0时不存在LFSR参数。
举例来说,当种子类型取值为0时,通信双方可以根据STS参数的输入生成128比特的输出,然后从这128比特中依次取与随机位数一致的比特数,根据与随机位数一致的比特数确定循环移位位数。示例性的,随机位数为4个比特,则通信双方可以从128个比特中依次取4个比特,每4个比特依次对应上述M个循环移位位数。示例性的,M个循环移位位数可以等于循环移位位数阈值与输出的随机数表示的数值之和。又举例来说,当种子类型取值为1时,根据LFSR参数的输入,每次产生1比特,基于随机位数对应的比特数确定循环移位位数。示例性的,随机位数为4个比特,则通信双方可以从LFSR的输出中依次取4个比特,每4个比特依次对应上述M个循环移位位数;或者,M个循环移位位数可以等于循环移位位数阈值与每4个比特表示的数值之和。
示例性的,M个序列中相邻序列的相对循环移位位数与循环移位位数阈值的差可以依次表示为:R1、R2、…、RM,则M个循环移位位数可以满足如下公式:
其中,Nmin表示循环移位位数阈值,M表示序列的个数,N表示序列的长度。示例性的,R1表示序列相对于基准序列的循环移位位数与循环移位位数阈值的差。
基于上述公式可知,随机位数的取值B可以满足如下公式:
关于各个参数的说明可以参考上述公式,这里不作详述。
三、控制信息
控制信息可以包含于物理层(physicallayer,PHY)协议数据单元(protocoldataunit,PPDU)中,该控制信息可以称为脉冲簇感知配置信息单元(informationelement,IE)等,本申请实施例对于该控制信息的具体名称不作限定。示例性的,通信双方可以在感知控制阶段(sensingcontrolphase)进行控制信息的交互。可选的,在一个感知轮(sensinground)通信双方可以进行控制信息的交互,一个感知轮可以包括多个感知时隙,对于一个感知轮包括的感知时隙的数量,本申请实施例不作限定。作为一个示例,通信双方可以通过一个感知轮进行一次控制信息的交互。作为另一个示例,通信双方可以在多个感知轮中进行一次控制信息的交互,即该多个感知轮所对应的控制信息均相同。如循环移位参数未更新的情况下,发送端可以通过最近一个包括循环移位参数的控制信息发送感知信号,接收端可以通过最近一个包括循环移位参数的控制信息进行处理。
可理解,当采用脉冲簇的感知模式,且使用周期ZCZ序列时,控制信息可以包括循环移位参数,以及还包括短突发内的脉冲数量、短突发内相邻脉冲之间的间隔、相邻短突发之间的间隔、序列标识、序列长度、第一序列类型、使用不同的循环移位位数的类型(或使用相同的循环移位位数的类型)中的至少一项。采用上述方式,由于采用脉冲簇的发射方式,因此不模糊距离较大,有效提高了发射功率,增加了感知范围。
示例性的,当M=1时,控制信息可以包括循环移位参数,以及还包括短突发内的脉冲数量为1、短突发内相邻脉冲之间的间隔(等于相邻短突发之间的间隔)、序列标识、序列长度、第一序列类型中的至少 一项。
当采用脉冲簇的感知模式,且使用非周期ZCZ序列时,可以包括短突发内的脉冲数量、短突发内相邻脉冲之间的间隔、相邻短突发之间的间隔、序列标识、序列长度中的至少一项。
示例性的,通信双方使用的非周期ZCZ序列可以如表4所示,可理解,表4仅为示例,不应将其理解为对本申请实施例的限定。表4中的s1~s16可以理解为非周期ZCZ序列,索引为0的序列集表示该序列集中包括8个非周期ZCZ序列,索引为1的序列集表示该序列集中包括16个非周期ZCZ序列,索引为2的序列集表示该序列集中包括4个非周期ZCZ序列,索引为3的序列集表示该序列集中包括4个非周期ZCZ序列。
表4


本申请实施例中,控制信息包括如下至少一项:
循环移位参数、短突发内的脉冲数量(pulse per burst)、短突发内相邻脉冲之间的间隔(pulse interval within burst)、相邻短突发之间的间隔(burst repetition interval)、序列标识(或称为序号指示(index indication)、序列长度(sequence length)、序列类型(sequence type)、循环移位的类型(cyclic shift type)。
以下详细介绍上述各个信息。
作为一个示例,短突发内的脉冲数量的取值可以表示发送端在一个短突发内所发送的最多脉冲数量。如短突发内的脉冲数量可以用于指示一个短突发内的脉冲数量(或码片数量),该脉冲数量可以等于序列的个数。这里所示的脉冲数量是以序列的个数为例示出的,至于一个短突发内的具体脉冲还需要根据M个序列中的第i个元素确定。示例性的,短突发内的脉冲数量取值可以为4,表示发送端在一个短突发内最多可以发送4个脉冲。示例性的,短突发内的脉冲数量取值可以为5,表示发送端在一个短突发内最多可以发送5个脉冲。对于短突发内的脉冲数量大于或等于2的例子,这里不再一一列举。示例性的,短突发内的脉冲数量取值为1,则可以表示发送端使用非脉冲簇的感知模式。非脉冲簇的感知模式如可以包括采用高脉冲重复频率(pulse repetition frequency,PRF)的脉冲发射方式,该方式有较高的传输功率;或者,包括采用较低PRF的脉冲发射方式,该方式有较大的不模糊距离。示例性的,高PRF可以对应百兆赫兹(MHz)级别(如124.8MHz),低PRF可以对应低于100MHz级别(如7.8MHz)。
短突发内的脉冲数量的取值等于序列的个数,这种方式,可以使得接收端能够有效获知循环移位参数中的循环移位位数的个数(即M的取值),从而可以有效获知控制信息所在位置,避免将其他信息单元(informationelement,IE)中的信息误认为是该控制信息中的信息。
作为另一个示例,短突发内的脉冲数量可以表示采用非脉冲簇的感知模式,或者,采用脉冲簇的感知模式。示例性的,短突发内的脉冲数量取值为0,则表示采用非脉冲簇的感知模式;短突发内的脉冲数量 取值为1,则表示采用脉冲簇的感知模式。
短突发内相邻脉冲之间的间隔的单位可以为码片(chip)或纳秒(ns)。
相邻短突发之间的间隔的单位可以为纳秒(ns)或码片。
序列标识可以用于指示基准序列,该序列标识可以理解为序列的序号或序列的索引。序列长度可以用于指示基准序列的长度。该基准序列可以为序列集中的序列,该序列集可以存储于发送端和接收端;或者,该序列集可以由协议定义等,本申请实施例对此不作限定。通过序列标识或序列长度中的至少一项,通信双方可以有效获知基准序列。以上所示的基准序列是以使用周期零相关区的序列为例示出的,即该基准序列可以为具有完备的周期自相关特性的三元序列(如ipatov序列)或其循环移位构成的序列。当通信双方使用非周期零相关区的序列时,该序列标识可以用于指示用于确定感知信号的多个序列的集合标识。该情况下,控制信息可以不包括循环移位参数。
序列类型可以用于表示使用具有周期零相关区的序列,或者,使用不具有周期零相关区的序列。示例性的,序列类型包括第一序列类型,则控制信息包括循环移位参数,第一序列类型可以用于指示M个序列具有周期零相关区。示例性的,序列类型包括第二序列类型,则控制信息不包括循环移位参数,控制信息中包括的序列表示用于指示序列集合标识,该序列集合标识所对应的序列集合中包括多个序列,该多个序列均不具有周期零相关区。举例来说,序列类型取值为0时表示具有周期零相关区的序列集;序列类型取值为1时表示具有非周期零相关区的序列集。
循环移位类型用于表示相邻序列之间使用相同的相对循环移位位数,或者,表示相邻序列之间可以使用不同的相对循环移位位数。举例来说,循环移位类型取值为0时,表示相邻序列间使用相同的相对循环移位位数,循环移位位数可以由序列长度和序列个数(即短突发内的脉冲数量确定,如 循环移位类型取值为1时,表示相邻序列间使用不同的相对循环移位位数。
可选的,控制信息还可以包括循环前缀(cyclic prefix,CP)长度(CP length)、循环后缀(cyclic suffix,CS)长度(CS length)中的至少一项。可理解,循环前缀和循环后缀的长度可以相同,也可以不同。
可理解,上文关于相对循环移位位数、循环移位参数以及控制信息的说明下文同样适用。
图4是本申请实施例提供的一种基于感知的通信方法的流程示意图。关于发送端和接收端的说明可以参考上文。可理解,本申请实施例所示的发送端和接收端是相对于感知信号而言的,因此感知信号的发送端不一定是控制信息的发送端,对应的,感知信号的接收端不一定是控制信息的接收端。如图4所示,该方法包括:
401、发送端获取控制信息。
发送端获取控制信息可以包括:发送端确定控制信息(或称为发送端生成控制信息);或者,发送端接收控制信息。可理解,发送端确定控制信息之后,可以发送该控制信息。
关于控制信息的说明可以参考上文,这里不再详述。
402、发送端基于控制信息发送感知信号,对应的,接收端接收该感知信号。
可理解,图4所示的感知信号仅为一种示例,如该感知信号可以统称为信号;又如该感知信号还可以称为UWB脉冲等。
示例性的,如在发送端向接收端发送控制信息的情况下,发送端可以先确定控制信息,然后基于该控制信息确定M个序列,发送感知信号。又如在发送端向接收端发送控制信息的情况下,该发送端可以先确定M个序列,然后基于该M个序列确定控制信息,发送感知信号。示例性的,在发送端接收控制信息的情况下,发送端可以基于该控制信息获取M个循环移位位数,然后基于M个循环移位位数和基准序列确定M个序列,发送感知信号。
本申请实施例所示的基于控制信息发送感知信号可以理解为:发送端基于序列类型以及循环移位的类型确定待发送的序列的类型。类似的,接收端基于序列类型以及循环移位位数的类型确定待接收的序列的类型。
如在序列类型包括第一序列类型,循环移位的类型包括使用不同的相对循环移位位数的情况下,确定M个序列(如M大于或等于2)。以及发送端可以基于该M个序列、短突发内相邻脉冲之间的间隔、相邻短突发之间的间隔,以及一个脉冲所对应的码片大小发送感知信号。类似的,接收端可以基于该M个序列、短突发内相邻脉冲之间的间隔、相邻短突发之间的间隔,以及一个脉冲所对应的码片大小接收感知信号。如M个序列可以用于确定短突发(或脉冲簇)内包括的正脉冲、负脉冲和无脉冲的位置,一个脉冲对应的码片大小可以用于确定一个脉冲的持续时间(无脉冲时仍会对应一个码片),每个脉冲之间的间隔可以由短突发内相邻脉冲之间的间隔确定。在一个脉冲簇之后,基于相邻短突发之间的间隔确定下一个脉冲簇的 时间。在M=1时,发送端可以基于其确定的一个序列,短突发内的脉冲数量(即为1),相邻短突发之间的间隔发送感知信号,类似的,接收端可以基于其确定的一个序列,短突发内的脉冲数量(即为1)以及相邻短突发之间的间隔接收感知信号。
又如,在序列类型包括第一序列类型,循环移位的类型包括使用相同的相对循环移位位数的情况下,确定相对循环移位位数相同的序列集(如基于循环移位参数、序列标识和序列长度确定)。以及发送端可以基于相对循环移位位数相同的序列集、短突发内相邻脉冲之间的间隔、相邻短突发之间的间隔,以及一个脉冲所对应的码片大小发送感知信号。类似的,接收端可以基于该相对循环移位位数相同的序列集、短突发内相邻脉冲之间的间隔、相邻短突发之间的间隔,以及一个脉冲所对应的码片大小接收感知信号。
又如,在序列类型包括第二序列类型的情况下,发送端可以确定非周期ZCZ的序列集(如基于序列标识或序列长度中的至少一项确定),然后基于该非周期ZCZ的序列集、短突发内相邻脉冲之间的间隔、相邻短突发之间的间隔,以及一个脉冲所对应的码片大小发送感知信号。类似的,接收端可以基于该非周期ZCZ的序列集、短突发内相邻脉冲之间的间隔、相邻短突发之间的间隔,以及一个脉冲所对应的码片大小接收感知信号。
403、接收端获取控制信息,基于控制信息进行处理。
接收端获取控制信息包括:接收端接收该控制信息;或者,接收端确定该控制信息。可理解,接收端确定控制信息之后,可以发送该控制信息。
作为一个示例,发送端可以发送该控制信息,对应的,接收端接收该控制信息。作为另一个示例,接收端可以发送控制信息,对应的,发送端接收该控制信息。
示例性的,接收端可以接收来自发送端的控制信息,获取M个循环移位位数和基准序列,并确定M个序列。示例性的,接收端可以向发送端发送控制信息,如先确定M个序列,然后基于M个序列确定控制信息;或者,可以先发送控制信息,然后基于控制信息确定M个序列。接收端确定M个序列之后,可以对该M个序列和接收到的信号进行相关,基于相关的结果确定目标的信息。示例性的,基于相关的结果确定目标的信息包括:基于相关的结果确定零相关区,基于零相关区确定目标的信息。该目标的信息可以包括如下至少一项:目标的速度、目标的角度、目标的距离、目标的衰减。
发送端在发送感知信号时,在一个短突发内可以发送M个脉冲(仅为示例,具体的脉冲数量基于序列的元素确定),发送端可以发送多个短突发(如N+x个短突发)。这些脉冲有些可能通过直射径到达接收端,有些可能经过反射径到达接收端。
示例性的,接收端在接收到一个短突发内的脉冲之后,可以进行模拟数字转换采样,获得采样值,并基于门限值判断每个采样值为+1、-1、0中的一项。接收端在接收到N+x个短突发内的脉冲之后,或者,接收端在接收到M个序列对应的第一个短突发内的脉冲之后,可以进行相关,将最高峰确定为ZCZ的初始位置,以及基于相对循环移位位数中的最小循环移位位数和相邻短突发之间的间隔确定ZCZ的长度。然后基于ZCZ确定目标的相关信息。示例性的,目标的数量可以由ZCZ中的峰值数量确定。如图5a所示,ZCZ中的最高峰为ZCZ的初始位置,ZCZ中的其他三个峰值可以对应三个目标。
可选的,接收端在基于控制信息进行处理之后,还可以向发送端发送反馈信息,该反馈信息用于反馈目标的相关信息;或者,该反馈信息用于反馈接收端基于控制信息得到的感知测量结果。对于反馈信息的具体内容,本申请实施例不作列举。
本申请实施例中,M=1或M=2时,通信双方通过控制信息达到对循环移位位数的理解一致,从而有效避免了由于通信双方对循环移位位数的理解不一致导致的感知结果不准确的情况,提高了感知结果的准确性。
M大于2时,如果相邻序列的相对循环移位位数相同,则感知信号的接收端在执行相关操作时,旁瓣可能会出现重叠,从而导致旁瓣幅度较高,进而导致接收端无法有效确定出峰值位置(如最高峰),无法有效确定出零相关区(zero correlation zone,ZCZ),导致感知结果的准确性不高。然而,本申请实施例中,相邻序列的相对循环移位位数中至少有两个相对循环移位位数不同,由此感知信号的接收端对感知信号进行处理,如执行相关操作时,有效削弱了旁瓣出现重叠的情况,从而降低了旁瓣幅度高的概率。有效降低了非零相关区的旁瓣幅度,保证感知信号的接收端能够有效确定出零相关区,有效提高了感知结果的准确性。
