研究简介
什么是信道知识地图?
(1)以移动节点物理或虚拟位置为主要索引的数据库
(2)直接反映特定位置的本地化信道特征,与收发机活动无关,可融合区域内所有终端的海量历史数据
(3)直接基于位置提前获取信道先验信息
(4)提升当地无线环境的认知能力,实现信道知识的快速实时预测推理
(5)避免重复的在线环境感知及信道获取
(6)由环境未知通信与感知迈向环境认知通信与感知的使能技术

研究方向
1. 信道知识地图应用
信道知识地图在环境认知通信与感知拥有广泛的应用前景,其典型应用场景包括:
(1)未到达位置的信道:主动切换、网联无人机或网联机器人路径规划
(2)非合作节点间的信道:认知无线电:次发射机到主接收机; 物理层安全:发射机到窃听者
(3)大维信道:大规模MIMO、超大规模MIMO (XL-MIMO)
(4)硬件/信号处理受限的信道:混合波束赋形、低分辨率模数转换器、可重构智能表面(RIS)
2. 信道知识地图构建
为了实现基于信道知识地图的的通信与感知,首先需要以一种有效的方式构建信道知识地图。信道知识地图构建的本质是基于在少数位置获得的数据来重构出环境中所有感兴趣位置的信道信息,其主要方法可分为数据驱动和模型驱动两类。其中,数据驱动构建方法包括克里金法、张量补全、深度学习等;模型驱动构建方法包括空间损失场模型、虚拟障碍物模型等。
