Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of wireless communication testing, and particularly relates to a four-dimensional over the air performance test method for a dynamic scene channel.


BACKGROUND

With the advent of the 5th Generation (5G) mobile communication era, the testing principles of the new generation of mobile communications have become the focus of attention in the academic and industrial circles in recent years, while Over-The-Air (OTA) testing gradually replaces conduction testing, and has become the main testing form for 5G millimeter waves and 6G systems. The Multi-Probe Anechoic Chamber (MPAC) is currently the most recognized OTA performance test method in the world due to its high precision and wide application range. According to MPAC, multiple antenna probes are arranged at different positions in the anechoic chamber according to a certain spatial density, which can be spherical, planar, cylindrical or in other distributions, multiple angles of incidence or angles of arrival are simulated, and the spatial channel environment around the device under test (DUT) is constructed by the fading channel matrix generated by a channel simulator. Therefore, the positions, number and power weight of the probes in the MPAC test system have a significant impact on the accuracy of channel simulation. At the same time, since each dual-polarized antenna probe corresponds to two radio frequency channels of the channel simulator, and the channel simulator is very expensive, a suitable probe selection optimization algorithm can greatly reduce the number of channel simulator ports that need to be used, thereby reducing the cost of the MPAC test system.


However, the current MPAC technology is mainly suitable for OTA performance testing where the spatial parameters have time-domain stationarity, and the probe optimization algorithm aims at a certain time point. If the terminal is moving at a high speed, the relative distance and angle between it and the base station are changing rapidly, and the channel exhibits time-domain non-stationary characteristics, then the probe configuration optimized at a certain time moment may not necessarily be used at other time moments. In the vision for 6G, more high-speed motion scenes will be introduced. In addition to high-speed rails, satellites, unmanned aerial vehicles, vehicles, ships and other diverse terminals will also be incorporated into the air-land-sea-space integration scene, such as an unmanned aerial vehicle communication channel which has three-dimensional deployment, high mobility, space-time non-stationarity, etc., which may bring a greater Doppler frequency shift, make the spatial characteristic change of the channel more significantly, and also bring new challenges to OTA performance testing. Up to now, the time-varying scene of spatial parameters is not considered in most of the studies, and it is difficult to simulate the dynamic changes of the spatial parameters such as the angle of arrival and the angle of departure of the device during the moving process, and for the device with a certain motion trajectory and speed under the specific environment, its communication performance cannot be accurately tested.


The existing evaluation criteria for channel simulation accuracy have static properties, while the dynamic scene channel simulation is carried out in a time period rather than at a time point, so a new systematic method and overall evaluation criteria for multi-time point testing are needed so as to more scientifically reflect the effect of channel construction.


SUMMARY

The present disclosure aims to provide a four-dimensional over the air performance test method for a dynamic scene channel so as to solve the technical problem of being able to effectively and accurately reproduce a target dynamic scene channel model in an anechoic chamber on the basis of reducing the cost of a test system as much as possible, and provide an index for judging the accuracy of constructing the dynamic scene channel model.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

To better know the objectives, structures, and functions of the present disclosure, a four-dimensional over the air performance test method for a dynamic scene channel of the present disclosure is further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.


In order to construct a mobile scene channel test system, the continuous time period to be tested needs to be discretized into multiple time moments, and channel modeling is performed at each time moment. In this operation, we need pay attention to the displacement distance between all sampling points to ensure spatial consistency. The channel modeling method can use the ray-tracing (RT) algorithm or other geometry-based stochastic channel model (GBSM) modeling algorithms to obtain the geometric channel model based on a clustered delay line (CDL) at each time moment. The line-of-sight (LOS) direction between DUT and a launch station is used as the reference direction, and by means of the rotation of the DUT on a three-dimensional turntable in the anechoic chamber and the position change of activated probes on an MPAC probe wall, the motion of the device under test is simulated, and the resulting changes in channel parameters such as angle, power, delay, and Doppler frequency are emulated. The principle block diagram of the specific test system is shown in FIG. 1.


The following steps need to be completed in dynamic scene channel modeling: Step 1: the motion speed and trajectory of a device under test in a specific scene and a time T to be tested are determined, and the position, transmitting power and frequency of a base station and the position, motion speed and direction of user equipment are determined.


Step 2: the time period T to be tested is discretized into N time moments [t1, t2, . . . , tn, . . . , tN], each time moment respectively corresponds to one of positions [p1, p2, . . . , pn, . . . , pN] of the user equipment, and respectively performs channel modeling algorithm simulation on the user equipment at each time moment to obtain a spatial channel model at each time moment, including an azimuth angle of arrival (AOA), a zenith angle of arrival (ZOA), an azimuth angle of departure (AOD), a zenith angle of departure (ZOD), power and delay of each cluster. Azimuth angle spread of arrival (ASA), zenith angle spread of arrival (ZSA), azimuth angle spread of departure (ASD), zenith angle spread of departure (ZSD), and power angular spectrum (PAS) of each cluster are stipulated, so as to complete modeling of a dynamic scene cluster delay line channel. The azimuth angle of arrival and the azimuth angle of departure of each cluster are in the range of −180° to 180°, and the zenith angle of arrival and the zenith angle of departure of each cluster are in the range of 0° to 180°.


Step 3: the obtained channel model according to the relative line-of-sight direction between the device under test and the base station at each time moment is corrected, the relative position between a terminal and the base station through a three-dimensional turntable is simulated, and the multipath component simulated by an over the air probe to achieve a dynamic effect is cooperated with.


A dynamic scene channel model in a multi-probe anechoic chamber test system is constructed by the followings:


Step 1: by the constructed power angular spectrum of a target channel and an antenna array of the device under test, a target Butler beam forming power pattern Bt in a multi-probe anechoic chamber sector is determined, at the time moment of tn, Bt(Ω,tn)=aH(Ω)Rt(tn)a(Ω), where Ω=(Θ, ϕ) is a solid angle, Θ is a vertical azimuth angle, φ is a horizontal azimuth angle, a(Ω) ∈CU×1 represents an array steering vector of the device under test when a spatial angle is Ω in a far-field condition, the uth element thereof is a(Ω) ∈CU×1, a(Ω) ∈CU×1 is a wave vector when the angle is a(Ω) ∈CU×1, where a(Ω) ∈CU×1 is a wavelength. a(Ω) ∈CU×1 is a position vector of the uth antenna, where a(Ω) ∈CU×1, a(Ω) ∈CU×1 are respectively corresponding rectangular coordinates of the uth antenna in x, y and z directions a(Ω) ∈CU×1 is a spatial correlation matrix of the target channel of the device under test of an antenna, a(Ω) ∈CU×1, where a(Ω) ∈CU×1 is a corresponding normalized power angular spectrum power when the spatial angle at the time moment of tn is a(Ω) ∈CU×1.


Step 2: according to the power angular spectrum distribution of the cluster at each time moment obtained by channel modeling, through a probe selection algorithm, K activated antenna probes are selected from a total of M antenna probes, and the selected K probes are used for simulating the dynamic scene channel model within the time period T to be tested.


Step 3: a simulated Butler beam forming power pattern Be through the selected K activated probes is calculated, at the time moment of tn, Be(Ω,tn)=aH(Ω)Re(tn)a(Ω), where Be(Ω, tn)=aH(Ω)Re(tn)a(Ω) is a spatial correlation matrix, for simulating the dynamic channel, of the device under test having U antennae in total at the time moment of tn, Re(tn) ∈CU×U, where Re(tn) ∈CU×U is a solid angle corresponding to the kth probe, Re(tn) ∈CU×U represents an array steering vector of a DUT under the setting of a multi-probe anechoic chamber when the spatial angle is Re(tn) ∈CU×U in a far-field condition, and the uth element is, where Re(tn) ∈CU×U represents the distance from the kth OTA probe to the uth antenna, and Re(tn) ∈CU×U represents the path loss in this distance. Re(tn) ∈CU×U represents the normalized power of the over the air antenna probe with the spatial angle of Re(tn) ∈CU×U at the time moment of tn.


Step 4: a concept of a time-averaged four-dimensional power spectrum similarity percentage (4D PAS Similarity Percentage, 4D-PSP) for the construction quality of the multi-probe anechoic chamber dynamic channel test system in the continuous time T is proposed, namely, a time dimension on the basis of a static three-dimensional PSP is added, and the calculation method is as follows:
