技术领域technical field
本发明属于无线通信技术领域,具体涉及一种波束偏移效应下毫米波通信系统的混合预编码方法。The invention belongs to the technical field of wireless communication, and in particular relates to a hybrid precoding method of a millimeter wave communication system under the effect of beam shift.
背景技术Background technique
毫米波/亚太赫兹(mmWave/sub-THz)通信是下一代无线通信系统的重要潜在技术,通过利用毫米波/亚太赫兹频段丰富的频谱资源,可以实现每秒几个G比特的通信速率。一方面,为了在性能和复杂度/成本上达到一个平衡,现有技术提出采用极少射频(RF)链路数的混合构架;另一方面,由于采用了大规模阵列天线以及工作在mmWave/sub-THz频段,使得各工作频率下的波束方向会随着频率的变化而变化,这种现象称之为波束偏移效应。为了缓解波束偏移效应,部分现有工作考虑了码本设计以及混合预编码设计来达到此目的,这些传统方案均采取一组阵列响应向量来逼近最优的预编码器。在射频链路数有限时,这些方案会性能损失明显。Millimeter-wave/sub-THz (mmWave/sub-THz) communication is an important potential technology for next-generation wireless communication systems. By utilizing the abundant spectrum resources of the millimeter-wave/sub-THz frequency band, a communication rate of several gigabits per second can be achieved. On the one hand, in order to achieve a balance between performance and complexity/cost, the prior art proposes a hybrid architecture with very few radio frequency (RF) links; In the sub-THz frequency band, the beam direction at each operating frequency changes with the frequency, which is called the beam shift effect. In order to alleviate the beam shift effect, some existing works consider codebook design and hybrid precoding design to achieve this goal. These traditional schemes all adopt a set of array response vectors to approximate the optimal precoder. When the number of RF links is limited, these schemes suffer significant performance losses.
发明内容SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
本发明的目的在于提出更合适的混合预编码器,克服毫米波/亚太赫兹通信中的波束偏移效应。通过设计一组新的射频(RF)预编码向量来更好逼近最优的全数字编码器。所设计的每个基向量都具有较宽的辐射方向图,可以有效覆盖各频率下的偏移波束方向。同时,基向量设计可以构建成一个无穷范数问题,通过采用交替方向乘子法(ADMM)来有效解决。当新的基向量设计好后,混合预编码设计可通过混合模拟/数字预编码矩阵逼近全数字预编码器而获得,接收合并矩阵的设计同混合预编码设计的方案思路相同。The purpose of the present invention is to propose a more suitable hybrid precoder to overcome the beam shift effect in millimeter wave/terahertz communication. The optimal all-digital encoder is better approximated by designing a new set of radio frequency (RF) precoding vectors. Each designed basis vector has a wide radiation pattern, which can effectively cover the offset beam direction at each frequency. At the same time, the basis vector design can be constructed as an infinite norm problem, which is effectively solved by adopting the alternating direction multiplier method (ADMM). After the new basis vector is designed, the hybrid precoding design can be obtained by approximating the all-digital precoder by the hybrid analog/digital precoding matrix. The design of the receiving combining matrix is the same as that of the hybrid precoding design.
本发明的技术方案为:The technical scheme of the present invention is:

The same RF analog precoder is used for each subcarrier and frequency dependent baseband digital precoders Here N s represents the number of data streams. Similarly, the same RF analog receive matrix is used for each sub-carrier and the frequency dependent baseband digital receive matrix The technical solution includes the following steps:

其中和本步骤目标就是求解出最优全数字预编码矩阵Gp和接收矩阵Jp,之后步骤就是通过逼近最优全数字预编码/接收矩阵来求得混合预编码/接收矩阵。这是因为以上目标函数是非凸的以及变量模为一的约束限制。故忽略模拟预编码矩阵中元素的模为一的限制,考虑一个全数字结构,以上问题可以简化为in and The goal of this step is to solve the optimal all-digital precoding matrix G p and the receiving matrix J p , and the next step is to obtain the hybrid precoding/receiving matrix by approximating the optimal all-digital precoding/receiving matrix. This is due to the above objective function being non-convex and the constraint that the variables are modulo one. Therefore, ignoring the limitation that the modulus of the elements in the analog precoding matrix is one, considering an all-digital structure, the above problem can be simplified as

当通过以上方式获得一组基向量集合{bn}后,可以通过逼近最优全数字预编码器来获得混合预编码矩阵,即After obtaining a set of basis vectors {b n } in the above manner, the hybrid precoding matrix can be obtained by approximating the optimal all-digital precoder, namely

该优化可以重新构建成一个稀疏问题,即This optimization can be restructured as a sparse problem, i.e.

The multi-observation vector is sparsely restored based on the orthogonal matching algorithm. When the estimated After that, F takes M t non-zero rows in F RF take the corresponding M t column vectors in B. The hybrid receive matrix design can be obtained by the same principle as the hybrid precoding design, see steps S5 and S6. .
仿真中,考虑点对点下行链路宽带毫米波MIMO-OFDM系统,基站配置天线数为Nt=256,移动用户端配置天线数为Nr=128。系统中心载频为fc=28GHz和带宽为B=4GHz,子载波总数设置为P=512。同时出射角{θl}和入射角{ψl}随机分布在则有sin(θl)∈[-1,+1]和sin(ψl)∈[-1,+1]。每条信道的延迟τl均匀分布在0到100纳秒,信道复合增益为且和同时通信距离D为60米,信道衰落指数α取2,光速为c。数据流数为Ns=3,基向量个数为T=64,且有N=512和d=8。In the simulation, considering the point-to-point downlink wideband millimeter-wave MIMO-OFDM system, the number of antennas configured by the base station is N t =256, and the number of antennas configured by the mobile user terminal is N r =128. The center carrier frequency of the system is f c =28GHz and the bandwidth is B=4GHz, and the total number of sub-carriers is set to P=512. Simultaneously the exit angle {θ l } and the incident angle {ψ l } are randomly distributed in Then there are sin(θ l )∈[-1,+1] and sin(ψ l )∈[-1,+1].

信噪比定义为The signal-to-noise ratio is defined as
在性能分析中,本发明(improved spatially-sparse-precoding,简称I-SSP)将与传统方案(conventional spatially-sparse-precoding,简称C-SSP)比较,且传统方案C-SSP的基向量是阵列响应向量,同时,在仿真中,也加入了全数字最优编码器(称之为full-digital)的性能曲线。所采用的指标是频谱效率(spectral efficiency);。In the performance analysis, the present invention (improved spatially-sparse-precoding, referred to as I-SSP) will be compared with the traditional scheme (conventional spatially-sparse-precoding, referred to as C-SSP), and the basis vector of the traditional scheme C-SSP is an array The response vector, at the same time, in the simulation, also joined the performance curve of the fully digital optimal encoder (called full-digital). The index used is spectral efficiency;
图1描述了各方法频谱效率与SNR的关系,实验条件设置为Mr=Mt=Ns。从图1可以观察出,所提出I-SSP方案相对于传统C-SSP方案有着明显性能优势。这验证了本发明方案可以有效缓解波束偏移效应。图2所设置的实验条件为Mr=Mt=2Ns,同样展示出了所提出方案I-SSP的优势。Fig. 1 describes the relationship between spectral efficiency and SNR of each method, and the experimental conditions are set as Mr =M t =N s . It can be observed from Figure 1 that the proposed I-SSP scheme has obvious performance advantages over the traditional C-SSP scheme. This verifies that the solution of the present invention can effectively alleviate the beam shift effect. The experimental condition set in FIG. 2 is Mr =M t = 2N s , which also shows the advantages of the proposed scheme I-SSP.
图3描述了各方法频谱效率与射频(RF)链路数的关系,实验条件设置为Mr=Mt和SNR=10dB。从图3可以观测出,当射频(RF)链路数越多,就可以获得越好的性能。考虑到RF链路的成本和功耗,所以RF链路数在毫米波通信中是有限的。同时,可以注意到,当RF链路数有限时,所提出的I-SSP相较于传统C-SSP有着较大性能优势。Figure 3 depicts the relationship between the spectral efficiency of each method and the number of radio frequency (RF) links , and the experimental conditions are set as Mr = M t and SNR = 10dB. It can be observed from Figure 3 that when the number of radio frequency (RF) chains is increased, the better performance can be obtained. Considering the cost and power consumption of RF links, the number of RF links is limited in mmWave communications. At the same time, it can be noticed that the proposed I-SSP has a large performance advantage over the traditional C-SSP when the number of RF links is limited.
接下来,图4描述了频谱效率与系统带宽的关系,实验条件设置为Mr=Mt=Ns和SNR=10dB。从图4中可以发现,当带宽变大时,全数字方案于混合预编码方案之间的性能间距越来越大,这是因为随着宽带增加,波束偏移效应越来越明显。同时实验结果表明,对于不同系统带宽,本专利所提出方案I-SSP一直保持着对传统方案C-SSP的优势。Next, Fig. 4 depicts the relationship between spectral efficiency and system bandwidth, and the experimental conditions are set as Mr= Mt = Ns and SNR= 10dB . It can be found from Figure 4 that when the bandwidth becomes larger, the performance gap between the all-digital scheme and the hybrid precoding scheme becomes larger and larger, because as the bandwidth increases, the beam shift effect becomes more and more obvious. At the same time, the experimental results show that, for different system bandwidths, the scheme I-SSP proposed in this patent has always maintained the advantages over the traditional scheme C-SSP.
综上所诉,本发明研究了在波束偏移效应下的毫米波MIMO-OFDM系统中的混合预编码和接收矩阵设计。为了缓解波束偏移效应,构建了一个新的目标函数来设计更合适的RF基向量集合。当设计好基向量之后,可以通过逼近最优全数字编码矩阵来设计混合预编码/接收矩阵。仿真结果表明,本专利所提出的方案,相对于传统方案,可以有效缓解波束偏移效应。To sum up, the present invention studies the hybrid precoding and receiving matrix design in the millimeter-wave MIMO-OFDM system under the beam shift effect. To mitigate the beam shift effect, a new objective function is constructed to design a more suitable set of RF basis vectors. After designing the base vector, the hybrid precoding/receiving matrix can be designed by approximating the optimal all-digital coding matrix. The simulation results show that, compared with the traditional scheme, the scheme proposed in this patent can effectively alleviate the beam shift effect.
