This application belongs to the technical field of communication, and more particularly relates to a method for sending a radar and communication integrated signal, a method for receiving a radar and communication integrated signal, and a device.
Integrated sensing and communication refers to integrated design of communication and perceptive functions realized within the same system through spectrum sharing and hardware sharing. When transferring information, a system can perceive information such as orientation, distance and speed to detect, track and recognize a target device or event, and a communication system and a perception system complement each other, thereby realizing improvement in overall performance and bringing better service experience.
At present, there have been many correlated researches for integrated design of radar and communication systems, and typical joint design includes spectrum coexistence in which the two systems independently work but can allow information exchange so as to reduce mutual interference; receiving end sharing in which sending ends of the two systems send respective signal waveforms, and the waveforms of the two systems are required to have orthogonality, thereby not influencing respective receiving detection; sending end sharing in which sending ends send radar and communication joint waveforms; and receiving-sending end sharing in which resource sharing is performed on receiving and sending sides of the two systems, and the joint waveforms or waveforms with an orthogonality relation are similarly required to be used. In the radar and communication integrated design, waveform design is a key point, and the key of the integrated waveform design is to reduce interference between communication signals and perception signals as much as possible, thereby satisfying communication and perception function requirements, and improving spectrum efficiency on the premise that system performance is guaranteed.
However, adopting the joint waveforms in the current main radar and communication integrated waveform design often requires complex design and optimization, radar detection performance and communication performance are required to be balanced, for example, to ensure functions of radar detection, spectrum efficiency and demodulation performance of the communication system may be reduced, and modulation of communication information will influence a fuzzy function of radar waveforms, and reduce radar signal detection performance.

However, the following description describes, for the illustrative purpose, a New Radio (NR) system, and NR terms are used in most of the following description, although these technologies may also be applied to applications except NR system applications, such as a 6th Generation (6G) communication system.
A method for sending a radar and communication integrated signal according to the embodiment of this application is described in detail by combining the drawings and embodiments and application scenarios thereof below.
The method in the embodiment of this application is applied to a communication device. The communication device may be the user device, and the user device may refer to an access terminal, a user unit, a user station, a mobile station, a mobile table, a remote station, a remote terminal, a mobile device, a user terminal, a terminal, a wireless communication device, a user agent or a user apparatus. The terminal device may also be a cell phone, a cordless telephone, a Session initiation Protocol (SIP) phone, a Wireless Local Loop (WLL) station, a PDA, a handheld device with a wireless communication function, a computing device or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem, a vehicle-mounted device and the wearable device. The communication device may also be the network side device, such as the base station or the core network.
As shown in
Step 201: Determining a polarization state of a first signal according to a communication information bit to be sent.
Herein, the communication information bit to be sent is obtained according to communication information to be sent, such as the communication information bit to be sent is 0 or 1, or the communication information bit to be sent is 00, 01, 10 or 11.
In the step, the first communication device determines the polarization state of the first signal according to the communication information bit to be sent, thereby performing a next step.
Step 202: Sending the first signal according to the polarization state of the first signal; where the first signal is radar signal.
In the step, the first signal is sent according to the polarization state of the first signal determined in step 201. Because the first signal is the radar signal and the polarization state thereof is determined based on the communication information bit to be sent, the communication information can be carried on the polarization state of the radar signal, and accordingly, the communication information is transferred while radar detection is performed on a target.
According to the method of the embodiment of this application, the polarization state of the first signal is determined according to the communication information bit to be sent, and then, the first signal is further sent according to the determined polarization state of the first signal, thereby realizing radar and communication signal integrated sending, and performing the radar detection on the target while transferring the communication information. In addition, the radar detection is usually in a Line of Sight (LoS) scenario, in which a channel depolarization effect is low, thereby facilitating a receiving end for polarization demodulation.
For example, in the embodiment, step 201 includes:
Herein, the association relationship between the communication information bit and the polarization state is preset so as to determine, for the communication information bit to be sent, the polarization state of the corresponding radar signal according to the association relationship.
For polarization modulation of the radar signal, a polarization modulation order is associated with a number of an information bit carried by a single polarization modulation symbol. In addition, the higher the polarization modulation order, the more information bit carried by the single polarization modulation symbol, and thus, in order to be applicable to different polarization modulation orders, different association relationship between the communication information bit and the polarization state is preset.
So, for example, in the embodiment, corresponding to different polarization modulation orders, the association relationship between the communication information bit to be sent and the polarization state is different, and the polarization modulation order is associated with a number of the information bit carried by the single polarization modulation symbol.
Correspondingly, as shown in
Step 301: Receiving a second signal, the second signal being radar echo signal.
Herein, the radar echo signal is a signal returned after the first signal, namely the radar signal detects the target.
Step 302: Performing detection according to the second signal to obtain a detection result.
In the step, the detection is performed according to the second signal received in step 301 to generate the detection result. The detection is performed based on preset radar detection parameters. For example, the radar detection parameters include but not limited to a distance, Doppler, an angle, a resolution, a coverage area, a detection probability, etc. The radar detection parameters may be adjusted in combination with a current scenario.
Step 303: Determining a current polarization modulation order according to the current detection result.
In the step, after the detection result is obtained in step 302, the current applicable polarization modulation order is further determined according to the detection result. For example, the polarization modulation order is determined according to the parameters such as the distance and the Doppler.
Step 304: Determining, according to the current polarization modulation order, an association relationship between the communication information bit to be sent and the polarization state.
It has been known from the above content that the association relationship between the communication information bit and the polarization state is preset corresponding to the different polarization modulation orders, and the current polarization modulation order is determined in step 303, such that the association relationship between the communication information bit to be sent and the polarization state can be determined based on the current polarization modulation order, thereby more accurately determining the polarization state of the first signal based on the association relationship.
Step 302 includes:
That is, in a scenario with a demand for the polarization characteristic detection, radar detection parameters include relevant parameters of polarization characteristics, the polarization characteristic detection may be performed in combination with the polarization state and the second signal to obtain the required detection result, and of course, the detection result can indicate the current polarization characteristic.
It is to be known that the detection performed according to the second signal in the first communication device is performed in a radar signal processing unit, and thus, if the polarization characteristic detection is required to be performed, the radar signal processing unit may also acquire the current polarization state.
For example, step 202 includes:
The antenna is a polarized antenna of the first communication device. Thus, according to the communication information bit, the radar signal is sent by, different orthogonal polarized antennas to realize modulation, such as Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) modulation.
For example, the sending the first signal through an antenna corresponding to the polarization state includes at least one of following manners:
For example, the first antenna is a horizontal polarized antenna, and the second antenna is a vertical polarized antenna; or, the first antenna is a left-hand circularly polarized antenna, and the second antenna is a right-hand circularly polarized antenna.
For example, a sending antenna array of the first communication device at least includes a pair of dual polarized antennas. If the dual polarized antennas are the left-hand circularly polarized antenna and the right-hand circularly polarized antenna, when the communication information bit is 0, the radar signal is sent by the left-hand circularly polarized antenna; and when the communication information bit is 1, the radar signal is sent by the right-hand circularly, polarized antenna. Or, when the communication information bit is 00, the radar signal is sent by the left-hand circularly polarized antenna; when the communication information bit is 01, the radar signal is sent by the right-hand circularly polarized antenna; when the communication information bit is 10, the radar signal is not sent; and when the communication information bit is 11, the radar signal is sent by the right-hand circularly polarized antenna and the left-hand circularly polarized antenna at the same time.
If the dual polarized antennas are the horizontal polarized antenna and the vertical polarized antenna, when the communication information bit is 0, the radar signal is sent by the horizontal polarized antenna, and when the communication information bit is 1, the radar signal is sent by the vertical polarized antenna. Or, when the communication information bit is 00, the radar signal is sent by the horizontal polarized antenna; when the communication information bit is 01, the radar signal is sent by the vertical polarized antenna; when the communication information bit is 10, the radar signal is not sent; and when the communication information bit is 11, the radar signal is sent by the horizontal polarized antenna and the vertical polarized antenna at the same time.
In addition, in the embodiment, for example, a sending probability of 00 bit may be reduced through some encoding modes; thereby reducing influences on radar performance.
In addition, for example, the sending the first signal according to the polarization state of the first signal includes:
Herein, the polarization state of the radar signal is controlled by the power divider network and the phase shift network to send the first signal, that is, according to the communication information bit, a polarization phase descriptor (amplitude δ and phase φ) of the radar signal is changed by the power divider network and the phase shift network to control the polarization state of the radar signal, thereby realizing polarization modulation. Each polarization state corresponds to one point in a constellation diagram. The constellation diagram may be shown on a Poincare spherical surface according to a relationship between Jones vectors and a Poincare sphere.
The amplitude ratio and the phase difference corresponding to each polarization state may also be preset. After the polarization state of the first signal is determined, the corresponding amplitude ratio and phase difference can be determined, and after the polarization state of the first signal is controlled by the power divider network and the phase shift network, the first signal is sent by the at least one pair of dual polarized antennas included by the first communication device.
As shown in
and the amplitude ratio of the two signal components of the radar signal Si can be controlled by changing an amplitude ratio control parameter δi; and a transfer function of the phase shift network is denoted by
and the phase difference of the two signal components of the radar signal Si can be controlled by changing a phase difference control parameter φi. Accordingly, the radar signal (the first signal) St is divided by the power divider network into the first signal component Si sin δi and the second signal component Si cos δi. The first signal component is processed by the phase shift network into Si sin δiejφ
For example, in the embodiment, step 202 includes:
Correspondingly, serving as a communication receiving end of the first communication device, the second communication device receives the first signal based on the first time unit. After determining the first time unit, the second communication device detects information sent by a sending end; and the first time unit may also be a minimum time unit that the second communication device performs polarization information detection. For example, the first time unit is 1 ms or one slot.
For example, the first time unit is predefined.
For example, if the first time unit is defined by a protocol, the second communication device determine the first time unit by acquiring the predefined first time units.
Considering the situation that the second communication device cannot acquire the predefined first time units, or the first time units are not predefined, for example, in the embodiment, the method further includes:
Accordingly, the second communication device may receive the notification message to determine the first time unit.
Of course, the second communication device further determines the first time unit through blind detection. For example, there are a plurality of first time units which are predefined or indicated by the notification message, for example, the first time unit is 1 ms or 2 ms, and the second communication device determines that the first time unit is 1 ms or 2 ms through the blind detection.
For example, the sending the first signal based on a first time unit includes:
If the first communication device repeatedly transmits the first signal with the first time unit as the basic unit, the first communication device further informs the second communication device of the number N of repeated transmitting times, and N is a natural number greater than or equal to 1. The second communication device determines the first time unit and N, and then detects the information sent by the first communication device.
The adjustment parameter may be predefined. But considering applicability to the scenario, for example, the adjustment parameter is determined according to a detection result obtained after detection on radar echo signal.
The first communication device can adjust the first time unit according to the detection result obtained after detection on the radar echo signal, and thus, applicability of the adjusted second time unit to the scenario is better.
Similarly, N may be predefined, or dynamically adjusted according to the detection result obtained after detection on the radar echo signal.
For example, the farther the distance, the longer the first time unit, or the N is larger, which makes the second communication device first accumulate and combine signals and then detect the polarization state, thereby obtaining diversity/combined gain, and improving a detection signal-to-noise ratio.
For example, the radar signal is a pulse radar signal. Because the pulse radar signal can radiate short high-frequency pulses, then, the antenna is switched to a receiver to receive signals, signal sending and receiving are separated in time, and a polarization modulation scheme is shown in
Or, the radar signal is a continuous wave radar signal, which may be a single-frequency Continuous Wave (CW) or Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW). Taking the FMCW as an example, a polarization modulation scheme is shown in
It is to be noted that, in the embodiment, the first communication device may serve as a sending end of the first signal, or a receiving end of the first signal sent by a third communication device, which is not repeated herein.
As shown in
A baseband processing part is divided into a radar baseband processing unit and a communication baseband processing unit. The radar baseband processing unit is configured to generate radar signals, such as pulse signals or continuous wave signals; and the communication baseband processing unit is configured to generate communication information (communication source information) so as to obtain a communication information bit, for example, the communication baseband processing unit may also perform scrambling and encoding.
A polarization state processing unit is configured to determine a polarization state according to the communication information bit.
A sending front end and a sending antenna array are shared by a communication system and a radar system, responsible for digital to analog conversion of the radar signals, up-conversion, polarization modulation on the radar signals based on the communication information bit, and joint signal sending. The sending antenna array at least includes a pair of dual polarized antennas, such as a left-hand circularly polarized antenna and a right-hand circularly polarized antenna, or a horizontal polarized antenna and a vertical polarized antenna.
A receiving front end and a receiving antenna array are shared by the communication system and the radar system, responsible for down-conversion, analog to digital conversion and amplitude-phase calibration of the radar signals and/or communication signals. The receiving antenna array at least includes a pair of dual polarized antennas, such as a left-hand circularly polarized antenna and a right-hand circularly polarized antenna, or a horizontal polarized antenna and a vertical polarized antenna.

in conclusion, according to the method of the embodiment of this application, the polarization state of the first signal is determined according to the communication information bit to be sent, and then, the first signal is further sent according to the determined polarization state of the first signal, thereby realizing radar and communication signal integrated sending, and performing radar detection on a target while transferring the communication information. In addition, the radar detection is usually in an LoS scenario, in which a channel depolarization effect is low, thereby facilitating the receiving end for the polarization demodulation.

For example, the first signal is sent through an antenna corresponding to the polarization state, the second communication device may adopt non-coherent demodulation to directly measure receiving power of different orthogonal polarized antennas, for example, if a left-hand circularly polarized antenna and a right-hand circularly polarized antenna are adopted, when receiving power of the left-hand circularly polarized antenna of the second communication device is high, it is recognized that a communication information bit sent by a sending end is 0, and when receiving power of the right-hand circularly polarized antenna of the second communication device is high, it is recognized that the communication information bit sent by the sending end is 1; and if a horizontal polarized antenna and a vertical polarized antenna are adopted, when receiving power of the horizontal polarized antenna of the second communication device is high, it is recognized that the communication information bit sent by the sending end is 0, and when receiving power of the vertical polarized antenna of the second communication device is high, it is recognized that the communication information bit sent by the sending end is 1.
