- A represents the amplitude of the equivalent baseband signal
- a 0 represents the slope of the equivalent baseband signal
- b 0 represents the intercept of the equivalent baseband signal on the Y axis

- the time delay are linear: the farther the target object, the later the time to receive the reflected signal, then the reflection The greater the frequency difference between the signal and the transmitted signal. Therefore, the distance between the radar and the target object can be determined by judging the frequency of the intermediate frequency signal.
- the foregoing processing of radar signals is only an example, and there is no restriction on the specific radar processing.
- FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of mutual interference between vehicle-mounted radars.
- the radar 1 sends out a transmission signal and receives the reflected signal from the transmission signal on the target object. While radar 1 receives the reflected signal, the receiving antenna of radar 1 also receives the transmitted signal or reflected signal of radar 2, then the transmitted signal of radar 2 received by radar 1 or the reflected signal of radar 2 is interference for radar 1. signal.
- Radar 1 be an observation radar
- the slope of the FM continuous wave is a 0
- the intercept is b 0
- the period is T c .
- Radar 2 is a jamming radar.
- the slope of the FM continuous wave is a 1
- the intercept is b 1.
- b 0 b 1 .
- the echo delay corresponding to the maximum ranging distance of radar 1 is ⁇ max (that is, the time delay calculated by adding the maximum detection distance of the radar in formula 1.6.
- the maximum detection distance of radar is 250 m, which is put into formula 1.6
- the calculated time delay is 1.67 ⁇ s)
- the time delay of the jamming signal of radar 2 reaching the receiver of radar 1 is ⁇ 1 .
- the time interval for the radar to detect the received signal is ⁇ max ⁇ T c .
- radar 1 receives the signal shown by the dotted line of the corresponding frequency, then radar 1 thinks there is "Target object 1"exists; radar 1 detects the signal shown by the dotted line and the reflected signal shown by the solid line during the signal processing time interval ( ⁇ max ⁇ T c ), then radar 1 will show the received dotted line The signal is mistaken for the reflection signal of an object in front, and a false intermediate frequency signal will be generated at this time. Radar 1 undergoes a fast Fourier transform and performs spectrum analysis to find two peaks. As shown in Figure 7, each peak corresponds to a target object. Radar 1 considers that "target object 1" and "target object 2" exist at the same time.
- Radar 1 mistakenly believes that there is “target object 1" ahead, but in fact the "target object 1" does not exist, which is called “ghost” or "false alarm”. After the false alarm is generated, the self-driving car will slow down or brake suddenly when there is no object ahead, which reduces the driving comfort.
- FIGs 8 and 9 are schematic diagrams of a possible interference signal overwhelming the target signal.
- the radar 1 transmits a signal to a target object and receives a reflected signal from the target object.
- the receiving antenna of radar 1 receives the transmitted signal or reflected signal of radar 2 (dotted line).
- the time interval ( ⁇ max ⁇ T c ) of the signal detection of radar 1 the reflected signal of radar 1 and the related signal of radar 2 will be detected at the same time After mixing the detected relevant signal of radar 2 with the reflected signal of radar 1, an intermediate frequency signal containing various frequency components will be generated.
- the signal received at a certain moment or period of time may be an interference signal, or may be a reflected signal of a target object, and the relative changes in the frequency of the transmitted/reflected signal through time can be Clearly reflect the detection situation of the radar. Therefore, in the subsequent explanations of the embodiments of the present application, most of the graphs reflecting the slope of the transmitted/reflected signal (the range of frequency change per unit time) are used to represent the mutual interference between radars.
- FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram of a possible solution.
- the slope and transmission period of the signal of radar 1 are inconsistent with those of radar 2.
- the intermediate frequency signal of constant frequency will not be generated. Because only the intermediate frequency signal with a constant frequency will be reflected as a peak signal in the spectrum analysis, this method can reduce the probability of ghost occurrence.
- FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram of a possible missed detection result. The consequence is that there is an obstacle in front of the vehicle but it is not detected, resulting in missed detection, which has a bad influence on the safety of vehicle driving, especially the safety of unmanned vehicles.
- Figure 14 is a schematic diagram of another possible solution.
- the technology used in this solution is radar waveform frequency shift technology. If the radar detects interference from other radars in its sweep frequency band, it will jump to another frequency band to prevent interference between multiple radars.
- the frequency shift interval in the frequency shift technology can be greater than the radar sweep bandwidth, as shown in Figure 14. In this case, the radar waveforms are completely frequency divided and there is no overlap, but the frequency shift interval is set so that The frequency domain resources are occupied too much, and the frequency domain resources allocated to vehicle radars are currently limited. Or the frequency shift technology is still applied, but after the radar detects interference generated by other radars in the working frequency band, it performs random frequency shift (shift), as shown in Figure 15.
- Figure 15 is a schematic diagram of another possible solution.
- the interference can be reduced to a certain extent, but the completely randomized frequency shift (shift) will inevitably cause the two radar waveforms after the frequency shift (shift) to be too close in the frequency domain, resulting in ghost or interference signals.
- the increased strength of the object leads to missed inspections.
- the absolute value of the difference between the time domain start positions of any two time domain ranges in the L time domain ranges may be greater than or equal to the first threshold and less than or equal to the second threshold, the first threshold It is determined based on at least one echo delay and at least one propagation delay.
- the absolute value of the difference between the time domain starting positions of any two time domain ranges needs to be greater than or equal to at least one echo delay and at least one The maximum value of the propagation delay, and only one radar detection device is allowed to transmit in a time domain range, so that the radar signal sent by one radar detection device will not fall within the target echo observation range of other radar detection devices. The radar signals sent by other radar detection devices will not fall within the target echo observation range of the first radar detection device. In this way, interference between radar detection devices can be reduced.

随着社会的发展,现代生活中越来越多的机器向自动化、智能化发展,移动出行用的汽车也不例外,智能汽车正在逐步进入人们的日常生活中。近些年,高级驾驶辅助系统(advanced driving assistant system,ADAS)在智能汽车中发挥着十分重要的作用,该系统利用安装在车上的各式各样的传感器,在汽车行驶过程中感应周围的环境、收集数据,进行静止、移动物体的辨识、侦测与追踪,并结合导航仪地图数据,进行系统的运算与分析,从而预先让驾驶者察觉到可能发生的危险,有效增加了汽车驾驶的舒适性和安全性。
在无人驾驶架构中,传感层包括车载摄像头等视觉系传感器和车载毫米波雷达、车载激光雷达和车载超声波雷达等雷达系传感器。毫米波雷达由于成本较低、技术比较成熟,率先成为无人驾驶系统主力传感器。目前ADAS已开发出十多项功能,其中,自适应巡航控制(adaptive cruise control,ACC)、自动紧急制动(autonomous emergency braking,AEB)、变道辅助(lance change assist,LCA)、或盲点监测(blind spot monitoring,BSD)等都离不开车载毫米波雷达。毫米波是指波长介于1~10mm之间的电磁波,所对应的频率范围为30~300GHz。在这个频段,毫米波相关的特性非常适合应用于车载领域。例如,带宽大,频域资源丰富,天线副瓣低,有利于实现成像或准成像;波长短,雷达设备体积和天线口径得以减小,重量减轻;波束窄,在相同天线尺寸下毫米波的波束要比微波的波束窄得多,雷达分辨率高;穿透强,相比于激光雷达和光学系统,更加具有穿透烟、灰尘和雾的能力,可全天候工作。
随着车载雷达的广泛使用,车载雷达之间的互干扰越来越严重。由于互干扰会降低车载雷达检测概率或提升其虚警概率,对车辆行驶安全或舒适性造成不可忽视的影响。在这种前提下,如何减小车载雷达之间的干扰是亟需解决的一个技术问题。

为了使本申请实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请实施例作进一步地详细描述。
以下,对本申请实施例中的部分用语进行解释说明,以便于本领域技术人员理解。
1)雷达探测装置,例如为雷达(radar),或者也可以是其他的用于进行探测(例如,测距)的装置。
2)雷达,或称为雷达装置,也可以称为探测器、雷达探测装置或者雷达信号发送装置等。其工作原理是通过发射信号(或者称为探测信号),并接收经过目标物体反射的反射信号,来探测相应的目标物体。雷达所发射的信号可以是雷达信号,相应的,所接收的经过目标物体反射的反射信号也可以是雷达信号。
3)雷达探测装置的发射周期(或者,称为雷达探测装置的扫频周期、扫频时间或扫频时长等),是指雷达探测装置进行一个完整波形的雷达信号发射的周期。雷达探测装置一般会在一段连续的时长内进行多个扫频周期的雷达信号发送。
4)雷达探测装置的初始频率。在一个发射周期的开始,雷达探测装置的会以一个频率发射雷达信号,该频率称为雷达探测装置的初始频率。并且雷达探测装置的发射频率以该初始频率为基础在发射周期内变化。
5)雷达探测装置的扫频带宽,雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的波形所占用的带宽。这里需要说明的是,“扫频带宽”是为了阐述方便而定义的,技术上为雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的波形所占用的带宽。进一步的,雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的波形所占用的频带可以称为扫频频带。
6)调频连续波(frequency modulated continuous wave,FMCW),频率随时间变化的电磁波。
7)线性调频连续波,频率随时间线性变化的电磁波。这里的线性变化一般是指在一个发射周期内线性变化。具体的,线性调频连续波的波形一般是锯齿波或者三角波,或者也可能存在其它可能的波形,例如步进频波形等。
8)雷达探测装置的最大测距距离,或称雷达探测装置的最大探测距离,是与雷达探测装置的配置有关的参数(例如,与雷达探测装置的出厂设置参数相关)。例如雷达探测装置为雷达,长距自适应巡航控制(adaptive cruise control,ACC)雷达的最大测距距离为250m,中距雷达的最大测距距离为70~150m。
9)中频(intermediate frequency,IF)信号,以雷达探测装置是雷达为例,雷达的本 振信号与雷达接收的反射信号(是雷达的发射信号经过目标物体反射后的信号)经过混频器处理后的信号,即为中频信号。具体来说,通过振荡器产生的调频连续波信号,一部分作为本振信号,一部分作为发射信号通过发射天线发射出去,而接收天线接收的发射信号的反射信号,会与本振信号混频,得到所述的“中频信号”。通过中频信号,可以得到目标物体的位置信息、速度信息或角度信息中的一个或多个。其中,位置信息可以是目标物体相对于当前的雷达的位置信息,速度信息可以是目标物体相对于当前的雷达的速度信息,角度信息可以是目标物体相对于当前的雷达的角度信息。进一步的,中频信号的频率称为中频频率。
10)雷达信号的最大传播时延,雷达信号的最大传播时延是根据当前雷达本身的属性或参数确定的,上述属性或参数具体可以包括以下中的至少一个:探测装置(作为干扰源的探测装置)雷达信号的发射功率,探测装置(当前探测装置)接收机的灵敏度。其中,详细来说,另一雷达信号经历一定的传播时延后会被当前雷达接收到,经过所述传播时延后,如果干扰信号的功率大于接收机灵敏度,则所述干扰信号会对当前雷达产生干扰,如果干扰信号的功率不大于接收机灵敏度,则所述干扰信号不会对当前雷达产生干扰,所述干扰信号会被处理为噪声。那么,经过传播时延后、干扰信号的功率若等于接收机灵敏度,则所述传播时延称为雷达信号的最大传播时延。
11)“至少一个”是指一个或者多个,“多个”是指两个或两个以上。“和/或”,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:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B的情况,其中A,B可以是单数或者复数。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,是指的这些项中的任意组合,包括单项(个)或复数项(个)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-b,a-c,b-c,或a-b-c,其中a,b,c可以是单个,也可以是多个。
以及,除非有相反的说明,本申请实施例提及“第一”、“第二”等序数词是用于对多个对象进行区分,不用于限定多个对象的顺序、时序、优先级或者重要程度。例如,第一信息和第二信息,只是为了区分不同的信息,而并不是表示这两种信息的内容、优先级、发送顺序或者重要程度等的不同。
如上介绍了本申请实施例涉及的一些概念,下面介绍本申请实施例的技术特征。
随着社会的发展,现代生活中越来越多的机器向自动化、智能化发展,移动出行用的汽车也不例外,智能汽车正在逐步进入人们的日常生活中。近些年,ADAS在智能汽车中发挥着十分重要的作用,它是利用安装在车上的各式各样的传感器,在汽车行驶过程中随时来感应周围的环境,收集数据,进行静止、移动物体的辨识、侦测与追踪,并结合导航仪地图数据,进行系统的运算与分析,从而预先让驾驶者察觉到可能发生的危险,有效增加汽车驾驶的舒适性和安全性。可以说,真正的无人驾驶是ADAS发展到极致的产物。在无人驾驶架构中,传感层被比作为汽车的“眼睛”,包括车载摄像头等视觉系传感器和车载毫米波雷达、车载激光雷达和车载超声波雷达等雷达系传感器。毫米波雷达由于成本较低、技术比较成熟,率先成为无人驾驶系统主力传感器。目前ADAS已开发出十多项功能,其中自适应巡航、自动紧急制动、变道辅助、或盲点监测等都离不开车载毫米波雷达。
毫米波是指波长介于1~10mm之间的电磁波,所对应的频率范围为30~300GHz。在这个频段,毫米波相关的特性使其非常适合应用于车载领域。带宽大:频域资源丰富,天线副瓣低,有利于实现成像或准成像;波长短:雷达设备体积和天线口径得以减小,重量减 轻;波束窄:在相同天线尺寸下毫米波的波束要比微波的波束窄得多,雷达分辨率高;穿透强:相比于激光雷达和光学系统,更加具有穿透烟、灰尘和雾的能力,可全天候工作。
车载毫米波雷达系统,一般包括振荡器、发射天线、接收天线、混频器、处理器和控制器等装置。如图1所示,为毫米波雷达的工作原理图。振荡器会产生一个频率随时间线性增加的雷达信号,该雷达信号一般是调频连续波。该雷达信号的一部分经过定向耦合器输出至混频器作为本振信号,一部分通过发射天线发射出去,接收天线接收发射出去的雷达信号遇到车辆前方的物体后反射回来的雷达信号,混频器将接收的雷达信号与本振信号进行混频,得到中频信号。中频信号包含了目标物体与该雷达系统的相对距离、速度、以及角度等信息。中频信号经过低通滤波器并经过放大处理后输送到处理器,处理器对接收的信号进行处理,一般是对接收的信号进行快速傅里叶变换,以及频谱分析等,以得到目标物体相对于该雷达系统的距离、速度和角度等信息。最后,处理器可以将得到的信息输出给控制器,以控制车辆的行为。
毫米波雷达的调频连续波波形一般是锯齿波或者三角波,以下以锯齿波为例详细介绍一下毫米波雷达的测距原理,三角波的测距原理与之类似。
如图2所示,线性调频连续波是频率随时间线性变化的信号,如图3所示,调频连续波的周期为T
c,斜率为a
0,带宽为B,其起始频率为b
0。图2所示的一个调频连续波信号也被称为一个线性调频脉冲(chirp)信号。
毫米波雷达的振荡器输出的单周期的调频连续波的等效基带信号可以表示为:
其中A表示等效基带信号的幅度,a
0表示等效基带信号的斜率,b
0表示等效基带信号在Y轴的截距,
表示等效基带信号的初相,exp表示e的指数函数。由于频率定义为相位相对于时间的变化率。因此,上述等效基带信号的频率为:
公式1.2的图像正如图3所示。
振荡器发出的等效基带信号经过上变频后,由毫米波雷达的发射天线向外辐射,发射信号可表示为:
该信号遇到障碍物后,会反射回来,再被该毫米波雷达接收。发射信号的波形与反射信号的波形的形状相同,只是反射信号的波形相对于发射信号的波形会有一段时延τ,可参考图4。在图4中,回波信号就是反射信号。接收的反射信号可表示为:
对接收的等效基带信号进行下变频后得到的信号为:
其中,A′是振荡器发出的等效基带信号经过发射天线增益、目标反射、传播损耗、接收天线增益后的信号的幅度,τ是从毫米波雷达的发射机发送雷达信号到该毫米波雷达的 接收机接收到回波信号(也就是反射信号),这之间的时延,如图4所示,这个时延是2倍距离/光速。另外在图4中,τ
max表示该毫米波雷达的最大探测距离所对应的回波时延,也就是说,τ
max是在该毫米波雷达与目标物体之间的距离是该毫米波雷达所能探测的最大距离时,该毫米波雷达所接收的反射信号相对于发射信号的时延。τ与目标距离d的关系可以表示为:
其中,c为光速。
该毫米波雷达的混频器将接收信号与本振信号混频,并经过低通滤波器后,输出中频信号,中频信号表示为:
将该中频信号送入该毫米波雷达的处理器进行快速傅里叶变换等处理,可得到中频信号的频率f
IF。
另外,如图4所示,中频信号的频率为发射信号的波形的斜率与时延τ的乘积,即:
因此,该毫米波雷达与目标物体之间的距离d为:
通过上面的推导过程可以看出,发射信号与接收信号之间的频率差(即,中频信号的频率)和时延呈线性关系:目标物体越远,接收反射信号的时间就越晚,那么反射信号和发射信号之间的频率差值就越大。因此,通过判断中频信号的频率的高低就可以确定该雷达与目标物体之间的距离。另外,上述的对雷达信号的处理过程只是示例,对于具体的雷达处理过程不做限制。
随着车载雷达渗透率的提升,车载雷达之间的互干扰越来越严重,将会极大降低雷达探测概率或提升雷达探测的虚警概率,对驾驶安全或舒适性造成不可忽视的影响。
可参考图5,为车载雷达之间相互干扰的示意图。雷达1发出发射信号,并接收该发射信号在目标物体上反射回来的反射信号。在雷达1接收反射信号的同时,雷达1的接收天线也接收到了雷达2的发射信号或者反射信号,那么雷达1所接收的雷达2的发射信号或雷达2的反射信号对于雷达1来说就是干扰信号。
例如,令雷达1为观测雷达,其调频连续波的斜率是a
0,截距是b
0,周期是T
c。雷达2为干扰雷达,其调频连续波的斜率是a
1,截距是b
1,此时假设b
0=b
1。雷达1的最大测距距离对应的回波时延是τ
max(即,在公式1.6中带入雷达的最大探测距离所计算出的时延。例如雷达的最大探测距离为250m,带入公式1.6所算出的时延为1.67μs),到达雷达1的接收机的雷达2的干扰信号的时延是τ
1。考虑雷达发射时刻存在定时误差为Δτ(例如,由于全球卫星定位系统(global positioning system,GPS)的定时误差产生的发射时刻的误差,例如60ns)。其中,雷达检测接收信号的时间区间是τ
max~T
c。
图6、图7为一种可能的虚假中频信号的示意图。若雷达1发送的雷达信号的斜率和雷达2发送的雷达信号的斜率一致,即a
0=a
1,且两者的工作频带有重叠,则会出现虚警。 如图6所示,雷达1向目标物体发射信号,并从目标物接收反射信号,但是在雷达1发射信号和接收到反射信号之间的时间范围内,雷达1的接收天线接收到了雷达2的发射信号或者反射信号(虚线)。雷达1的信号波形与雷达2的信号波形一致且两者的扫频带宽相同,在雷达1的目标回波观察范围内,雷达1接收到了对应频率的虚线所示的信号,则雷达1认为有“目标物体1”存在;雷达1在信号处理的时间区间(τ
max~T
c)内检测到虚线所示的信号和实线所示的反射信号,那么雷达1会把接收到的虚线所示的信号误认为是前方存在的物体的反射信号,此时就会产生虚假的中频信号。雷达1经过快速傅里叶变换后进行频谱分析可以发现两个峰值,如图7所示,每个峰值对应一个目标物体,雷达1认为同时存在“目标物体1”以及“目标物体2”。雷达1误认为前方存在“目标物体1”,而实际上该“目标物体1”是不存在的,这就被称为“ghost”或者“虚警”。虚警产生后会使得自动驾驶汽车在前方并没有物体的情况下减速或急刹,降低了驾驶的舒适度。
图8、图9为一种可能的干扰信号淹没目标信号的示意图。如图8所示,雷达1向目标物体发射信号,并从目标物体接收反射信号。但是在雷达1的目标回波观察范围内,雷达1的接收天线接收到了雷达2的发射信号或者反射信号(虚线)。雷达1的信号波形与雷达2的信号波形在斜率上存在差异,在雷达1在信号检测的时间区间(τ
max~T
c)内,会同时检测到雷达1的反射信号和雷达2的相关信号,在将检测到的雷达2的相关信号与雷达1的反射信号混频之后,会产生一个包含各种频率分量的中频信号,经过快速傅里叶变换后如图9所示,会出现一个干扰平台,使得真正的目标物体的“凸出”程度不够,对检测带来困难,提升了漏检的可能。漏检产生后会使得自动驾驶汽车在前方有物体的情况下,误以为没有物体,不采取减速或制动,造成交通事故,降低车辆行驶的安全性。
具体来说,雷达1的信号波形与雷达2的信号波形在斜率上存在差异,假若雷达1的波形斜率为a
0,雷达2的波形斜率为a
1,那么两个斜率的差异可以分为以下两种情况:
当a
1<a
0时,如图10所示,会产生干扰平台问题,从而导致漏检问题。
当a
1>a
0时,如图11所示,也会产生干扰平台问题,从而导致漏检问题。
这里需要说明的是,本领域技术人员可知,在某一时刻或一段时间接收到的信号,可能为干扰信号,可能为目标物的反射信号,通过时间和发射/反射信号频率的相关变化情况能清楚的体现雷达的探测情况。因此,本申请实施例后续的阐述中,大多以反映发射/反射信号的斜率(单位时间内频率的变化范围)的曲线图来表示雷达之间的互干扰情况。
而如果降低雷达探测概率降低,或雷达探测的虚警概率提升,对驾驶安全或舒适性造成不可忽视的影响。因此,如何降低车载雷达之间的干扰是必须要解决的问题。
为了解决上述问题,在一种可能的解决方案中,可以设置不同雷达具有不同的波形斜率、周期等参数。图12为一种可能的解决方案示意图。如图12所示,雷达1的信号的波形的斜率、发射周期等参数与雷达2的不一致,如此一来,即使雷达1接收到了雷达2的信号,由于其信号的波形不一致,在通过混频器时,即两者的频率在做差时,不会产生恒定频率的中频信号。因为只有恒定频率的中频信号才会在频谱分析中体现为峰值信号,所以该方法能够减小ghost发生的概率。但是,若雷达1接收到了雷达2的信号,经过混频器后,干扰信号落在有效的接收中频带宽内,就会抬升干扰信号的强度。干扰信号水平经过抬升后,会使得原有目标被干扰淹没掉,参见图13。图13为一种可能的漏检结果示意图。产生的后果即为车辆前方有障碍物却没有被检测出来,从而产生漏检,这对车辆行驶 的安全造成了恶劣的影响,尤其是无人驾驶车辆的安全。
图14为又一种可能的解决方案示意图。该方案所采用的技术为雷达波形频率切换(shift)技术。若雷达在其扫频频带检测到有其他雷达产生的干扰后,跳到另一个频带,以防止多雷达之间的干扰。频率切换(shift)技术中频率切换(shift)的间隔可以大于雷达扫频带宽,如图14,这种情况下各雷达波形完全频分,没有重叠情况,但是频率切换(shift)间隔的设置使得频域资源被占用太多,而目前分配给车载雷达的频域资源是有限的。又或者仍然应用频率切换(shift)技术,但是雷达在工作频段检测到有其他雷达产生的干扰后,进行随机频率切换(shift),如图15。图15为再一种可能的解决方案示意图。这种情况下能在一定程度上减弱干扰,但是完全随机化的频率切换(shift)难免会造成频率切换(shift)后的两个雷达的波形在频域上过于接近而导致出现ghost或者干扰信号的强度提升而导致物体被漏检。
鉴于此,提供本申请实施例的技术方案。在本申请实施例中,L个时域范围中的任意两个时域范围的时域起始位置的差值的绝对值可以大于或等于第一阈值以及小于或等于第二阈值,第一阈值是根据至少一个回波时延和至少一个传播时延确定的,例如任意两个时域范围的时域起始位置的差值的绝对值都需要大于或等于至少一个回波时延和至少一个传播时延中的最大值,而在一个时域范围只允许一个雷达探测装置进行发送,这样,一个雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号就不会落到其他雷达探测装置的目标回波观察范围内,而其他雷达探测装置所发送的雷达信号也不会落到第一雷达探测装置的目标回波观察范围内。通过这种方式,可以减小雷达探测装置之间的干扰。
如图16所示,为本申请实施例的一种可能的应用场景示意图。上述应用场景可以为无人驾驶、自动驾驶、智能驾驶、网联驾驶等。雷达探测装置可以安装在机动车辆(例如无人车、智能车、电动车、数字汽车等)、无人机、轨道车、自行车、信号灯、测速装置或网络设备(如各种系统中的基站、终端设备)等等。本申请实施例既适用于车与车之间的雷达探测装置,也适用于车与无人机等其他装置的雷达探测装置,或其他装置之间的雷达探测装置。另外,雷达探测装置可以安装在移动设备上,例如安装在车辆上作为车载雷达探测装置,或者也可以安装在固定的设备上,例如安装在路侧单元(road side unit,RSU)等设备上。本申请实施例对雷达探测装置安装的位置和功能等不做限定。
本申请实施例可以由探测装置来执行,例如执行本申请实施例提供的方法的探测装置可以称为第一探测装置。为阐述方便,本申请实施例下文中多以探测装置为雷达探测装置、雷达探测装置为雷达,例如毫米波雷达,为例,进行实施例的解释和说明。但是本申请实施例不限定探测装置仅为雷达探测装置,也不限制雷达探测装置仅为毫米波雷达或者雷达。进一步,本申请实施例中,在L个时域范围中的相应的时域范围发送雷达信号的多个雷达探测装置,可以有着相同的扫频周期。例如,在该多个时域范围内的第1个时域范围发送雷达信号的为雷达探测装置1,在该多个时域范围内的第2个时域范围发送雷达信号的为雷达探测装置2,那么雷达探测装置1的扫频周期和雷达探测装置2的扫频周期相同。
另外,探测装置所发送的信号可以是无线电信号,如果以探测装置是雷达探测装置为例,那么可以认为探测装置所发送的信号是雷达信号。本申请实施例就以探测装置是雷达探测装置、探测装置所发送的信号是雷达信号为例。
需要说明的是,在L个时域范围内,有多个雷达探测装置在相应的时域范围上发射雷达信号。其中,时域范围可以是指一段连续的时长,雷达探测装置可以在这段连续的时长内 进行一个或多个扫频周期的无线电信号的发送。另外,时域范围也可以称为时域单元、时域资源、时间单元、时间资源或时长等,对于具体的名称不做限制。一个时域范围的长度,可以等于雷达探测装置的发射周期(或称为扫频周期、扫频时长等)。也可以说,L个时域范围中的每个时域范围的时域长度都可以是雷达探测装置的扫频周期。或者,一个时域范围的长度,可以等于雷达探测装置的扫频周期的整数倍。例如,某一时域范围的时长为500个扫频周期,则相应的雷达探测装置在这个时域范围内需要发射500个扫频周期的雷达信号。在一些场景下,L个时域范围的时域长度相同。在另一些场景下,L个时域范围的时域长度可以不完全相同。
另外需要说明的是,在一种可能的情况下,雷达探测装置以一定的发射定时进行雷达信号的发射,但是由于实际通信场景、环境或硬件设备存在的可能的差异,雷达信号的实际发送时刻可能会存在误差,也可以称为信号发射误差。例如,由GPS的精度所带来的误差。又一种可能的情况下,在生产制造过程中,不同的雷达探测装置由于生产制造的差异可能导致在信号发射时出现些许误差。在其他情况下,还可能存在其它原因导致的误差。对于上述所有可能的误差,本申请实施例所提供的方法在具体实现时都可以考虑。或者,本申请实施例也可以忽略这些误差,按照统一的标准和发射定时,进行方案阐述。需要明确的是,本申请实施例在阐述技术方案时,上述误差无论是被考虑还是被忽略,都不实质影响本申请实施例的实现及有益效果。
下面结合附图介绍本申请实施例提供的技术方案。
本申请实施例提供一种雷达信号发送方法,请参见图17A,为该方法的流程图。在下文的介绍过程中,以该方法应用于图16所示的网络架构为例。图17A所示的实施例提供的方法,可以由图16所示的网络架构中的雷达探测装置来执行,例如将该雷达探测装置称为第一雷达探测装置。另外在下文的介绍过程中,雷达探测装置所发送的信号,均可以是雷达信号,自然的,所接收的回波信号也可以是雷达信号。
S1701、第一雷达探测装置确定第一时域范围。
其中,所述第一时域范围为L个时域范围中的时域范围,所述L为大于1的正整数。
其中,L个时域范围中的任一个时域范围与其它L-1个时域范围中的至少一个时域范围部分重叠,L个时域范围中任两个时域范围的时域起始位置的差值的绝对值大于或等于第一阈值且小于或等于第二阈值。第一阈值是根据至少一个回波时延和至少一个传播时延确定的,至少一个回波时延包含第一雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延(例如称为第一回波时延),至少一个传播时延包括第一雷达探测装置发送的第一雷达信号对应的传播时延(例如称为第一传播时延)。这里的“L”,可以是预先定义或者配置的,也可以是根据预设的规则确定的。例如,对于一个雷达探测装置来说,“L”可以体现为在一个扫频周期内存在L个候选的时域格点,每个时域格点与一定的时长构成一个时域范围。所述时域格点可以为时域范围的起始位置或者结束位置,或者是时域范围的中间位置等。这里不做具体限定。由于雷达探测装置会工作在一定的时长内,因此本申请以“时域范围”进行方案的阐述和解释。技术上,时域范围可以通过时域格点以及时长来定义,S1701可以替换为“S1701、第一雷达探测装置确定第一时域格点”,所述第一探测装置根据所述第一时域格点确定第一时域范围。进一步,所述第一时域格点为L个时域格点中的一个。
在本申请实施例中,该L个时域范围可以称为一个时域范围的集合。当然,该L个时域范围、该L个时域范围内的每个时域范围,也可以定义为其他名称,无论其名称如何定 义,L个时域范围指代的是一个较大粒度的时间长度,每个时域范围指代的是一个较小粒度的时间长度。
其中,L个时域范围中的任一个时域范围与其它L-1个时域范围中的至少一个时域范围部分重叠(或者说,不完全重叠)。所谓的两个时域范围完全重叠,是指这两个时域范围完全相同,例如两个时域范围的时域起始位置相同且时域结束位置相同;或者,两个时域范围完全重叠,是指两个时域范围中一个时域范围完全包含在另一个时域范围内。而不完全重叠,就是指两个时域范围有交集,但两个时域范围不完全相同,例如两个时域范围的时域起始位置相同而时域结束位置不同,或者两个时域范围的时域起始位置不同而时域结束位置相同,或者两个时域范围的时域起始位置不同且时域结束位置不同。通过这种设计,能够实现避免完全时分的资源设计,节约时域资源;又能够适当的调整雷达探测装置在时域上的分布密度,在保证高性能通信的基础上,使得尽量多的雷达探测装置在一定时域长度内进行雷达信号的发射。
上述多个时域范围部分重叠的设计方式,可以避免将多个雷达探测装置的扫频周期完全在时域上分开而造成的时域资源浪费,可以有效利用时域资源,以较低的时域资源代价实现较高的抗干扰性能,同时又可以支持更多数目的雷达探测装置通信。
进一步地,L个时域范围中任两个时域范围的时域起始位置的差值的绝对值大于或等于第一阈值且小于或等于第二阈值,可以包括如下两种情况。
例如,这L个时域范围的时域起始位置在时域上是等间距划分的。在这个例子中,这L个时域范围中任意两个在时域上“相邻”的时域范围的时域起始位置的差值的绝对值例如等于F,则任意两个时域上“不相邻”的时域范围的时域起始位置的差值的绝对值可以等于F的X倍,X为大于1的正整数。
再例如,这L个时域范围的时域起始位置在时域上不是等间距划分的。在这个例子中,这L个时域范围中的哪两个时域范围的时域起始位置的差值的绝对值最小,则就令这两个时域范围的时域起始位置的差值的绝对值等于F,除了这两个时域范围之外,L个时域范围中的其他的任意两个时域范围的时域起始位置的差值的绝对值都可以大于F。
下面结合图17B进行举例说明。
图17B示意了L等于3时的一种可选案例。L等于3时,3个时域范围可以分别称为第1个时域范围、第2个时域范围、第3个时域范围。这3个时域范围中,任意一个时域范围与其它2个时域范围部分重叠。在图17B中,第1个时域范围与第2个时域范围的重叠区域标记为重叠区域1,第1个时域范围与第3个时域范围的重叠区域标记为重叠区域3,第2个时域范围与第3个时域范围的重叠区域标记为重叠区域2。在图17B中,3个时域范围中任两个时域范围的时域起始位置的差值的绝对值大于或等于第一阈值及小于或等于第二阈值。其中,第1个时域范围的时域起始位置与第2个时域范围的起始位置的差值的绝对值为间隔区域1的长度,第2个时域范围的时域起始位置与第3个时域范围的起始位置的差值的绝对值为间隔区域2的长度,第3个时域范围的时域起始位置与第1个时域范围的起始位置的差值的绝对值为间隔区域3的长度。本申请实施例中,间隔区域1的长度、间隔区域2的长度、间隔区域3的长度均大于或等于第一阈值及小于或等于第二阈值。
需要说明的是,假如该L个时域范围按照时域从前到后的顺序,依次包括第1个时域范围、第2个时域范围、第3个时域范围,称第1个时域范围与第2个时域范围的时域起 始位置的差值的绝对值为第一绝对值,称第2个时域范围与第3个时域范围的时域起始位置的差值的绝对值为第二绝对值,那么第一绝对值可以等于第二绝对值,也可以不等于第二绝对值。但是第一绝对值和第二绝对值都大于或等于第一阈值及小于或等于第二阈值。
第一雷达探测装置可以是需要发送雷达信号的雷达探测装置,因此第一雷达探测装置可以从L个时域范围里选择第一时域范围来发送雷达信号。例如还有第二雷达探测装置,也可以是需要发送雷达信号的雷达探测装置,例如第二雷达探测装置也可以从L个时域范围里选择相应的时域范围来发送雷达信号。其中,时域范围和雷达探测装置应该是一一对应的关系,也就是说,第二雷达探测装置可以从L个时域范围里选择第二时域范围来发送雷达信号,第二时域范围和第一时域范围不是同一个时域范围。但是还有一种可能,第二雷达探测装置在需要选择时域范围时,可能L个时域范围都已被占用,那么第二雷达探测装置可以从已被占用的L个时域范围内选择一个时域范围来进行发送。
另外,第一雷达探测装置和第二雷达探测装置的类别可以不同,或者也可以相同。例如共有N类雷达探测装置,第一雷达探测装置属于N类雷达探测装置中的第一类雷达探测装置,第二雷达探测装置属于N类雷达探测装置中的第二类雷达探测装置。其中,雷达探测装置可以有多种参数,例如一种参数为雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延,例如另一种参数为雷达探测装置所发送的雷达信号的传播时延,那么对于两个雷达探测装置来说,只要这两种参数中的至少一种参数的取值不同,就表明这两个雷达探测装置的类别不同。例如,第一雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延和第二雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延不同,表明第一雷达探测装置和第二雷达探测装置的类别不同;或者,第一雷达探测装置所发送的雷达信号的传播时延和第二雷达探测装置所发送的雷达信号的传播时延不同,表明第一雷达探测装置和第二雷达探测装置的类别不同;或者,第一雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延和第二雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延不同,且第一雷达探测装置所发送的雷达信号的传播时延和第二雷达探测装置所发送的雷达信号的传播时延不同,表明第一雷达探测装置和第二雷达探测装置的类别不同;或者,第一雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延和第二雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延相同,且第一雷达探测装置所发送的雷达信号的传播时延和第二雷达探测装置所发送的雷达信号的传播时延相同,表明第一雷达探测装置和第二雷达探测装置的类别相同。
所述的至少一个回波时延除了包括第一回波时延之外,还可以包括其他的雷达探测装置的回波时延,可以理解为,至少一个回波时延可以对应于至少一个雷达探测装置。例如,第二雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延可以称为第二回波时延,第二回波时延可以包括在所述的至少一个回波时延中。第二回波时延可以等于第一回波时延,也可以不等于第一回波时延。如果第二回波时延不等于第一回波时延,就表明第二雷达探测装置和第一雷达探测装置的类别不同,在这种情况下,第二雷达探测装置所发送的雷达信号(例如称为第二雷达信号)的传播时延可以等于第一传播时延,也可以不等于第一传播时延,不再做限制。
所述的至少一个传播时延除了包括第一传播时延之外,还可以包括其他的雷达探测装置对应的雷达信号(或者说,发送的雷达信号)的传播时延,可以理解为,至少一个传播时延可以对应于至少一个雷达探测装置。例如,第三雷达探测装置所发送的雷达信号(例如称为第三雷达信号)的传播时延例如称为第二传播时延,第二传播时延可以包括在所述 的至少一个传播时延中。第二传播时延可以等于第一传播时延,也可以不等于第一传播时延。如果第二传播时延不等于第一传播时延,就表明第三雷达探测装置和第一雷达探测装置的类别不同,在这种情况下,第三雷达探测装置所发送的第三雷达信号的回波时延可以等于第一回波时延,也可以不等于第一回波时延,不再做限制。
第二雷达探测装置和第三雷达探测装置可以是同一个雷达探测装置,或者也可以是不同的雷达探测装置。
雷达探测装置对应的回波时延是指,雷达探测装置在进行探测时,雷达探测装置发出雷达信号的时刻,与所发出的雷达信号在到达目标物体后被反射后的反射信号被该雷达探测装置接收的时刻,这两个时刻之间的时间差。而雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延是指,雷达探测装置在进行探测时,如果所探测的目标物体与雷达探测装置之间的距离是雷达探测装置支持的最大探测距离,那么雷达探测装置发出雷达信号的时刻,与所发出的雷达信号在到达目标物体后被反射后的反射信号被该雷达探测装置接收的时刻,这两个时刻之间的时间差。
第一阈值可以根据至少一个回波时延和至少一个传播时延确定。例如,根据至少一个回波时延和至少一个传播时延可以确定多个第一子阈值,多个第一子阈值中的最大值就可以作为第一阈值。另外,第二阈值也可以根据至少一个回波时延和至少一个传播时延确定。例如,根据至少一个回波时延和至少一个传播时延可以确定多个第二子阈值,多个第二子阈值中的最小值就可以作为第二阈值。这里需要说明的是,多个第一子阈值和多个第二子阈值均是根据至少一个回波时延和至少一个传播时延确定的,具体的确定方式可以不同。
例如共包括N个雷达探测装置,那么可以根据每两个雷达探测装置求取第一子阈值,也就是说,针对每两个雷达探测装置,都可以求得一个第一子阈值,再取所求得的多个第一子阈值的最大值作为第一阈值。例如,根据N个雷达探测装置,共可以确定
个第一子阈值,
个第一子阈值中的每个第一子阈值是根据N个雷达探测装置中的两个雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延,以及这两个雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的传播时延确定的,那么,第一阈值就可以是
个第一子阈值中的最大值。
另外,可以根据每两个雷达探测装置求取第二子阈值,也就是说,针对每两个雷达探测装置,都可以求得一个第二子阈值,再取所求得的多个第二子阈值的最小值作为第二阈值。例如,根据N个雷达探测装置,共可以确定
个第二子阈值,
个第二子阈值中的每个第二子阈值是根据N个雷达探测装置中的两个雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延,以及这两个雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的传播时延确定的,那么,第二阈值就可以是
个第二子阈值中的最小值。
N个雷达探测装置可以均是需要发送雷达信号的雷达探测装置,或者说,可以均是需要从多个时域范围内选择时域范围以发送雷达信号的雷达探测装置,或者,N个雷达探测装置中的部分雷达探测装置也可能无需从多个时域范围内选择时域范围。本申请实施例对于N个雷达探测装置究竟包括哪些不做限制。
在如上的方式中,不区分雷达探测装置的类别,只要是两个不同的雷达探测装置,都可以根据这两个雷达探测装置来求得第一子阈值或第二子阈值,而这两个雷达探测装置的类别可能不同,也可能相同。
或者还有一种方式,可以区分不同类别的雷达探测装置,可以根据不同类别的雷达探测装置来求得第一子阈值或第二子阈值,也可以根据相同类别的雷达探测装置来求得第一 子阈值或第二子阈值。
例如共包括N类雷达探测装置,那么可以根据每两类雷达探测装置求取第一子阈值,也就是说,针对每两类雷达探测装置,都可以求得一个第一子阈值,再取所求得的多个第一子阈值的最大值作为第一阈值。也可以根据每一类雷达探测装置求取第一子阈值,也就是说,针对每类雷达探测装置,都可以求得一个第一子阈值,再取所求得的多个第一子阈值的最大值作为第一阈值。例如,根据N类雷达探测装置,共可以确定
个第一子阈值,
个第一子阈值中的一个第一子阈值是根据N类雷达探测装置中的两类雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延,以及这两类雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的传播时延确定的,或是根据N类雷达探测装置中的一类雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延,以及这类雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的传播时延确定的,那么,第一阈值就可以是
个第一子阈值中的最大值。
另外,可以根据每两类雷达探测装置求取第二子阈值,也就是说,针对每两类雷达探测装置,都可以求得一个第二子阈值,再取所求得的多个第二子阈值的最小值作为第二阈值。也可以根据每一类雷达探测装置求取第二子阈值,也就是说,针对每类雷达探测装置,都可以求得一个第二子阈值,再取所求得的多个第二子阈值的最小值作为第二阈值。例如,根据N类雷达探测装置,共可以确定
个第二子阈值,
个第二子阈值中的每个第二子阈值是根据N类雷达探测装置中的两类雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延,以及这两类雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的传播时延确定的,或是根据N类雷达探测装置中的一类雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延,以及这类雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的传播时延确定的,那么,第二阈值就可以是
个第二子阈值中的最小值。
或者还有一种方式,可以区分不同类别的雷达探测装置,可以只根据不同类别的雷达探测装置来求得第一子阈值或第二子阈值,而如果两个雷达探测装置的类别相同,则不根据这两个雷达探测装置来求得第一子阈值或第二子阈值。
例如共包括N类雷达探测装置,那么可以根据每两类雷达探测装置求取第一子阈值,也就是说,针对每两类雷达探测装置,都可以求得一个第一子阈值,再取所求得的多个第一子阈值的最大值作为第一阈值。例如,根据N类雷达探测装置,共可以确定
个第一子阈值,
个第一子阈值中的每个第一子阈值是根据N类雷达探测装置中的两类雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延,以及这两类雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的传播时延确定的,那么,第一阈值就可以是
个第一子阈值中的最大值。
另外,可以根据每两类雷达探测装置求取第二子阈值,也就是说,针对每两类雷达探测装置,都可以求得一个第二子阈值,再取所求得的多个第二子阈值的最小值作为第二阈值。例如,根据N类雷达探测装置,共可以确定
个第二子阈值,
个第二子阈值中的每个第二子阈值是根据N类雷达探测装置中的两类雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延,以及这两类雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的传播时延确定的,那么,第二阈值就可以是
个第二子阈值中的最小值。
其中,根据一类雷达探测装置进行计算时,只需根据一类雷达探测装置中的任一个雷达探测装置进行计算即可。N类雷达探测装置可以均是需要发送雷达信号的雷达探测装置,或者说,可以均是需要从多个时域范围内选择时域范围以发送雷达信号的雷达探测装置,或者,N类雷达探测装置中的部分类别的雷达探测装置也可能无需从多个时域范围内选择 时域范围,例如N类雷达探测装置可以包括目前市场上所有的类别的雷达探测装置。本申请实施例对于N类雷达探测装置究竟包括哪些不做限制。
本申请实施例中,对于第一阈值(或者说,第一子阈值)或第二阈值(或者说,第二子阈值),可以有不同的确定方法。在下面的介绍过程中,以第一阈值是根据第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置计算得到的为例。也就是说,第一阈值是多个第一子阈值中的最大值,而最终选择的这个最大值,例如是根据第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置计算得到的。其中,第四雷达探测装置或第五雷达探测装置例如为第一雷达探测装置,或者,第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置都不是第一雷达探测装置。但因为第一阈值是多个第一子阈值中的最大值,而第一雷达探测装置的参数(例如第一回波时延和第一传播时延)也参与了对于多个第一子阈值中的部分第一子阈值的计算过程,因此,即使第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置都不是第一雷达探测装置,也依然可以认为,第一阈值是根据至少一个回波时延和至少一个传播时延确定的,至少一个回波时延包含第一回波时延,至少一个传播时延包括第一传播时延。
另外,第一子阈值或第二子阈值的确定也与雷达探测装置的位置有关。例如,雷达探测装置是可移动的雷达探测装置,例如车载雷达探测装置(例如车载雷达),和雷达探测装置是固定位置的雷达探测装置(例如设置在RSU上的雷达探测装置),在这两种情况下,所确定的第一子阈值或第二子阈值可能有所不同。下面分别介绍。在下面的介绍过程中,以第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置参与计算为例,也就是说,下面所介绍的过程,可以认为是在确定第一阈值和第二阈值,也可以认为是在确定第一子阈值和第二子阈值。
一、雷达探测装置是可移动的雷达探测装置,例如车载雷达。
在这种情况下,可以根据第四雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延、第五雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延、第四雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的最大传播时延(或者说,第四雷达探测装置的发射信号的最大传播时延)、以及第五雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的最大传播时延(或者说,第五雷达探测装置的发射信号的最大传播时延),确定一个第一子阈值。也可以根据第四雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延、第五雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延、第四雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的最大传播时延(或者说,第四雷达探测装置的发射信号的最大传播时延)、以及第五雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的最大传播时延(或者说,第五雷达探测装置的发射信号的最大传播时延),确定一个第二子阈值。
例如,最终的第一阈值是根据第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置所确定的第一子阈值,最终的第二阈值是根据第六雷达探测装置和第七雷达探测装置所确定的第二子阈值。也就是说,第二阈值是根据第六雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延、第七雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延、第六雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的最大传播时延、以及第七雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的最大传播时延所确定的第二子阈值。其中,第四雷达探测装置和第六雷达探测装置可以是同一个探测装置,或者也可以是不同的探测装置;第五雷达探测装置和第七雷达探测装置可以是同一个探测装置,或者也可以是不同的探测装置。
接下来,以根据第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置进行计算为例,介绍如何得到第一子阈值和第二子阈值。需要说明的是,如果根据其他的雷达探测装置来进行计算,例如根据第六雷达探测装置和第七雷达探测装置来进行计算,则计算过程也是跟如下的过程 类似的。下文仅是示例性以第一阈值是根据第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置得到的第一子阈值、第二阈值是根据第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置得到的第二子阈值进行方案的说明。
其中,雷达信号的最大传播时延是根据当前的雷达探测装置本身的属性或参数确定的。详细来说,另一雷达信号经历一定的传播时延后会被当前的雷达探测装置接收到,经过所述的传播时延后,如果干扰信号的功率大于当前的雷达探测装置的接收机的灵敏度,则干扰信号会对当前的雷达探测装置产生干扰,而如果干扰信号的功率不大于当前的雷达探测装置的接收机的灵敏度,则干扰信号不会对当前的雷达探测装置产生干扰,干扰信号会被处理为噪声。那么,经过传播时延后,干扰信号的功率如果等于当前的雷达探测装置接收机的灵敏度,则发射该干扰信号的雷达探测装置与当前的雷达探测装置之间的距离,称为干扰最大容忍距离,该传播时延称为最大传播时延。
其中,第四雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延和第五雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延,可以相同也可以不同;第四雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的最大传播时延和第五雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的最大传播时延,可以相同也可以不同。第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置可以是同一类别的雷达探测装置,或者也可以是不同类别的雷达探测装置。
以第四雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号在时间上早于第五雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号为例,本申请实施例在设置时域范围之间的间距时,可以考虑以下几条:
(1)若第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置之间的距离很近,则第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置的发送时刻之间至少需要间隔τ
max1才能保证这两个雷达探测装置之间不会相互干扰,τ
max1表示第四雷达探测装置的最大探测距离所对应的回波时延;
(3)第五雷达探测装置的发射信号在经历传播时延
后,也不能落在第四雷达探测装置的下一个周期的有效检测区域内。也就是说,对于一个雷达探测装置来说,可能是周期性发送信号以及周期性接收信号的,那么第五雷达探测装置的发射信号在经历传播时延
后的信号,也不能被第四雷达探测装置所接收。综合如上的几条可以得出:
确定第一阈值的公式和确定第二阈值的公式可以合并为一个公式,例如公式2.1,那 么可以一并确定第一阈值和第二阈值;或者,确定第一阈值的公式和确定第二阈值的公式也可以单独存在,可以分别确定第一阈值和第二阈值。
公式2.1中,
表示第四雷达探测装置的最大探测距离所对应的回波时延,
表示第五雷达探测装置的最大探测距离所对应的回波时延。
表示第四雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的最大传播时延,因此在公式2.1中,
也可以表示为
表示第五雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的最大传播时延,因此在公式2.1中,
也可以表示为
a
1表示第四雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的斜率,a
2表示第五雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的斜率。在本申请实施例中,斜率的绝对值可以表示单位时间内的频率变化量(或者,表示单位时间内的频率变化范围),所以也可以认为,a
1表示第四雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号在单位时间内的频率变化量,a
2表示第五雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号在单位时间内的频率变化量。在后文中为了便于理解,依然描述为,a
1表示第四雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的斜率,a
2表示第五雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的斜率。需要理解的是,本申请实施例中的a
1可以表示斜率的绝对值,或者也可以表示斜率,如果a
1表示斜率,则a
1的取值可能为正,也可能为负。同理,a
2可以表示斜率的绝对值,或者也可以表示斜率,如果a
2表示斜率,则a
2的取值可能为正,也可能为负。Δ
t表示L个时域范围中任两个时域范围的时域起始位置的差值的绝对值。T
c表示第四雷达探测装置的扫频周期。其中,因为第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置都是可移动的雷达探测装置,因此在公式2.1中带入的是这两个雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的最大的传播时延,而不是这两个雷达探测装置的发送的雷达信号实际的传播时延。
可参考图18,为按照如上方法所确定的第四雷达探测装置的时域范围和第五雷达探测装置的时域范围的示意图。图18中,实线都表示第四雷达探测装置的信号,虚线都表示第五雷达探测装置的信号(竖直的三条虚线除外),B表示第四雷达探测装置的扫频带宽。根据要求可知,第五雷达探测装置发出信号的时刻至少需要晚于第四雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延(图18中,从左往右的第一条实线表示第四雷达探测装置在一个周期的发射信号,从左往右的第二条实线表示该发射信号的反射信号,也就是回波信号,从左往右的第三条实线表示该发射信号经历最大传播时延
后的信号),以及要晚于第四雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的最大传播时延,这样第四雷达探测装置的发射信号才不会被第五雷达探测装置当做接收信号所接收。因此有,
另外还需要保证,第五雷达探测装置的发射信号在带宽B的范围内不会落到第四雷达探测装置的目标回波观察范围内,也就是说,使得第五雷达探测装置的发射信号在带宽B 的范围内不会与第四雷达探测装置的目标回波观察范围相交,当然也要保证第四雷达探测装置的发射信号在带宽B的范围内不会落到第五雷达探测装置的目标回波观察范围内。因此有,
而且,a
2需要满足以下的约束,如上的公式才能对第五雷达探测装置的扫频周期没有限制:
综合如上的三个公式,可以得到公式2.1。在图18中可以看到,两个雷达探测装置的发射信号彼此都不会落在对方的目标回波观察范围内,不会给对方造成干扰。另外,图18是以第四雷达探测装置的信号作为基准,要使得第五雷达探测装置的信号满足相应的需求以使得两个雷达探测装置之间不会相互干扰,因此在将公式2.1应用于图18时,T
c可以是第四雷达探测装置的扫频周期。
以第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置均为车载雷达为例。例如,第四雷达探测装置的扫频带宽为250MHz,扫频周期为Tc为27.8μs,最大探测距离250m,对应的最大中频频率为15MHz。第五雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的斜率(对于一个雷达探测装置来说,发射信号(也就是所发送的雷达信号)的斜率、反射信号的斜率和发射信号经历传播时延后的信号的斜率都相同)为第四雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的斜率的1.2倍,第五雷达探测装置的最大探测距离也为250m,多雷达间信号的最大传播时延为2μs(例如第四雷达探测装置发射的雷达信号经过600米的传播后,到达第五雷达探测装置接收机处的信号功率为-115dBm,等于第五雷达探测装置的接收机灵敏度,故第四雷达探测装置的最大传播时延是2μs)。根据最大探测距离为250m可计算出
带入公式2.1可得,
即为6.7μs≤Δ
t≤25.7μs。例如取L个时域范围中的任意两个时延范围的时域起始位置的差值的绝对值为6.7μs,则在27.8μs的扫频周期下,可以支持的互不干扰的雷达探测装置的数量为
基于以上分析,在该场景下L=4。
可参考图19,为多个雷达所在的时域范围的一种排布示意图。在图20中,较粗的实线都代表相应的雷达的发射信号,虚线表示相应的雷达的反射信号(回波信号),较细的实线表示相应的雷达的发射信号在经历传播时延后的信号。显然的,时域范围之间的间距越小,在相同的扫频时长下所排布的时域范围就越多。雷达探测装置和时域范围可以是一一对应的关系,因此在本申请的各个实施例中,通过将时域范围的间距取所求得的范围的最小值,可以容纳更多的雷达探测装置。
还有一种较为特殊的情况,就是第四雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的斜率和第五雷达 探测装置发送的雷达信号的斜率相同,那么,公式2.1可以变形为:
确定第一阈值的公式和确定第二阈值的公式可以合并为一个公式,例如公式2.2,那么可以一并确定第一阈值和第二阈值;或者,确定第一阈值的公式和确定第二阈值的公式也可以单独存在,可以分别确定第一阈值和第二阈值。
可参考图20,为按照如上方法所确定的第四雷达探测装置的时域范围和第五雷达探测装置的时域范围的示意图。图20中,实线都表示第四雷达探测装置的信号,虚线都表示第五雷达探测装置的信号(竖直的三条虚线除外),B表示第四雷达探测装置的扫频带宽。根据要求可知,第五雷达探测装置发出信号的时刻至少需要晚于第四雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延(图20中,从左往右的第一条实线表示第四雷达探测装置在一个周期的发射信号,从左往右的第二条实线表示该发射信号的反射信号,也就是回波信号,从左往右的第三条实线表示该发射信号经历最大传播时延
后的信号),以及要晚于第四雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的最大传播时延,这样第四雷达探测装置的发射信号才不会被第五雷达探测装置当做接收信号所接收。因此有,
而因为第四雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的斜率和第五雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的斜率相同,因此不用考虑两个雷达探测装置的波形会相交的情况,那么
就是公式2.2。在图20中可以看到,两个雷达探测装置的发射信号彼此都不会落在对方的目标回波观察范围内,不会给对方造成干扰。
另外,图20是以第四雷达探测装置的信号作为基准,要使得第五雷达探测装置的信号满足相应的需求以使得两个雷达探测装置之间不会相互干扰,因此在将公式2.2应用于图20时,T
c可以是第四雷达探测装置的扫频周期。
以第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置均为车载远程雷达(long range radar,LRR)、且第四雷达探测装置的参数和第五雷达探测装置的参数相同为例。例如,第四LRR的扫频带宽为250MHz,扫频周期Tc为27.8μs,最大探测距离为250m,对应的最大的中频频率为15MHz,最大传播时延为2μs(例如第四LRR的雷达信号经过600米的传播后,到达第五LRR接收机处的信号功率为-115dBm,等于第五LRR的接收机灵敏度,故第四LRR的 最大传播时延是2μs)。因为第四LRR的参数和第五LRR的参数相同,因此如上的参数是对应于第四LRR的,也是对应于第五LRR的。根据最大探测距离为250m可计算出
带入公式2.2可得,max(1.67,2)≤Δ
t≤27.8-max(1.67,2),即为2μs≤Δ
t≤25.8μs。例如取L个时域范围中的任意两个时域范围的时域起始位置的差值的绝对值为2μs,则在27.8μs的扫频周期下,可以支持的互不干扰的LRR的数量为
多个LRR所在的时域范围的一种排布示意图可继续参考图19。另外,考虑LRR可以使用76~77GHz的1GHz带宽,LRR的扫频带宽为250MHz,所以可以频分出4个互不干扰的频域资源供LRR使用,可参考图21,这4个频域资源分别为图21中的76GHz~76.25GHz、76.25GHz~76.50GHz、76.50GHz~76.70GHz、以及76.70GHz~77GHz。其中,在每个频域资源上均可以设置多个时域范围。这样,在76~77GHz的1GHz带宽内,可以总共支持4*13=52组互不干扰的雷达信号,也就是可以支持52个LRR。
再例如,在公式2.2的基础上,如果第四雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延等于第五雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延,且第四雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的最大传播时延等于第五雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的最大传播时延,例如第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置是同一类型的雷达探测装置。那么,公式2.1还可以变形为:
max(τ
max,Δ
p)≤Δ
t≤T
c-max(τ
max,Δ
p) (公式2.2-1)
其中,公式2.2-1也可以看做是两个公式,例如,max(τ
max,Δ
p)≤Δ
t可以认为是第二公式,用于确定第一阈值,Δ
t≤T
c-max(τ
max,Δ
p)可以认为是第六公式,用于确定第二阈值。其中,τ
max表示第四雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延,也表示第五雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延,Δ
p表示第四雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的最大传播时延,也表示第五雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的最大传播时延。可见,如果两个雷达探测装置相应的参数相同,则只需根据其中一个雷达探测装置的参数计算第一阈值或第二阈值即可。
确定第一阈值的公式和确定第二阈值的公式可以合并为一个公式,例如公式2.2-1,那么可以一并确定第一阈值和第二阈值;或者,确定第一阈值的公式和确定第二阈值的公式也可以单独存在,可以分别确定第一阈值和第二阈值。
以第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置均为车载雷达为例。例如,第四雷达探测装置的扫频带宽为250MHz,扫频周期为Tc为27.8μs,最大探测距离250m,对应的最大中频频率为15MHz,多雷达间信号的最大传播时延为2μs(例如第四雷达探测装置发射的雷达信号经过600米的传播后,到达第五雷达探测装置接收机处的信号功率为-115dBm,等于第五雷达探测装置的接收机灵敏度,故第四雷达探测装置的最大传播时延是2μs)。根据 最大探测距离为250m可计算出
带入公式2.2-1可得,max(1.67,2)≤Δ
t≤27.8-max(1.67,2),即为2μs≤Δ
t≤25.8μs。例如取L个时域范围中的任意两个时延范围的时域起始位置的差值的绝对值为2μs,则在27.8μs的扫频周期下,可以支持的互不干扰的雷达探测装置的数量为
如上的公式2.1、公式2.2和公式2.2-1并未考虑雷达探测装置之间的同步误差,而不同的雷达探测装置对于时间的理解可能存在不一致的情况,例如第四雷达探测装置认为一个时刻是10:00:00,而第五雷达探测装置可能认为该时刻是10:00:02,因此这两个雷达探测装置之间就会存在同步误差。如果考虑两个雷达探测装置之间的同步误差,那么第一阈值的确定方法会有所不同。例如可以根据至少一个传播时延、至少一个回波时延、以及第一信息来确定第一阈值,可以根据至少一个传播时延、至少一个回波时延、以及第一信息来确定第二子阈值。
如果以第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置为例,就是可以根据第四雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延、第五雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延、第四雷达探测装置所发送的雷达信号的最大传播时延、第五雷达探测装置所发送的雷达信号的最大传播时延、以及第一信息来确定第一阈值。同理,如果以第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置为例,就是可以根据第四雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延、第五雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延、第四雷达探测装置所发送的雷达信号的最大传播时延、第五雷达探测装置所发送的雷达信号的最大传播时延、及第一信息来确定第二子阈值。
其中,第一信息可以包括时间余量,或,包括两个雷达探测装置之间的同步误差,或,包括时间余量和两个雷达探测装置之间的同步误差之和。例如,以第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置参与计算,那么第一信息就可以包括时间余量,或,包括第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置之间的同步误差,或,包括时间余量以及第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置之间的同步误差之和。在参与计算的雷达探测装置有所不同时,同步误差可能会有所不同,时间余量可以不同,或者也可以相同。
其中,Δ表示第一信息。例如Δ=Δ
s+δ,或者Δ=Δ
s,或者Δ=δ。Δ
s表示两个雷达探测装置之间的同步误差,如果以第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置参与计算,则Δ
s表示第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置之间的同步误差。δ表示时间余量。
其中,确定第一阈值的公式和确定第二阈值的公式可以合并为一个公式,例如公式2.3,那么可以一并确定第一阈值和第二阈值;或者,确定第一阈值的公式和确定第二阈值的公 式也可以单独存在,可以分别确定第一阈值和第二阈值。
以第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置均为LRR为例。例如,第四LRR的扫频带宽为250MHz,扫频周期为Tc为27.8us,最大探测距离250m,对应的最大中频频率为15MHz。第五LRR发送的雷达信号的斜率(对于一个雷达探测装置来说,发射信号的斜率、反射信号的斜率和发射信号经历传播时延后的信号的斜率都相同)为第四LRR发送的雷达信号的斜率的1.2倍,第五LRR的最大探测距离也为250m,第四LRR发送的雷达信号的最大传播时延为2μs,第五LRR发送的雷达信号的最大传播时延也为2μs(例如第四LRR的雷达信号经过600米的传播后,到达第五LRR接收机处的信号功率为-115dBm,等于第五LRR的接收机灵敏度,故第四LRR的最大传播时延是2μs)。根据最大探测距离为250m可计算出
第四LRR和第五LRR之间的同步误差Δ
s一般参考全球定位系统(global positioning system,GPS)的定时误差,如2μs。若第一信息包括第四LRR和第五LRR之间的同步误差,且不包括时间余量,带入公式2.3可以得到8.7μs≤Δ
t≤21.8μs。δ可以是预先定义或者预先配置的常量,代表LRR本身器件的非理想因素造成的时间抖动,例如以δ=1μs为例。如果第一信息包括时间余量以及第四LRR和第五LRR之间的同步误差,则带入公式2.3可以得到,9.7μs≤Δ
t≤20.8μs。只要使得L个时域范围中的任意两个时延范围的时域起始位置的差值的绝对值大于或等于9.7μs且小于或等于20.8μs,都可以使得在L个时域范围内发送雷达信号的任意两个雷达探测装置之间无干扰。例如,可以使得L个时域范围中的任意两个时延范围的时域起始位置的差值的绝对值等于第一阈值,例如等于9.7μs,这样可以使得互不干扰的雷达探测装置的数量达到最多,提高对于时域资源的利用率。例如取L个时域范围中的任意两个时延范围的时域起始位置的差值的绝对值为9.7μs,则在27.8μs的扫频周期下,可以支持的互不干扰的雷达探测装置的数量为
关于多个LRR所在的时域范围的一种排布示意图,可继续参考图19。
在考虑了第一信息的情况下,也可以考虑一种特殊的情况,即第四雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的斜率和第五雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的斜率相同的情况。那么,公式2.3可以变形为:
公式2.4也可以看做是两个公式,例如,
可以认为是第四公式,用于确定第一阈值,
可以认为是第八公式,用于确定第二阈值。其中,确定第一阈值的公式和确定第二阈值的公式可以合并为 一个公式,例如公式2.4,那么可以一并确定第一阈值和第二阈值;或者,确定第一阈值的公式和确定第二阈值的公式也可以单独存在,可以分别确定第一阈值和第二阈值。
以第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置均为LRR、且第四雷达探测装置的参数和第五雷达探测装置的参数相同为例。例如,LRR的扫频带宽为250MHz,扫频周期Tc为27.8μs,最大探测距离为250m,对应的最大的中频频率为15MHz,也就是第四雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的最大传播时延和第五雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的最大传播时延均为2μs(例如第四雷达探测装置的雷达信号经过600米的传播后,到达第五雷达探测装置接收机处的信号功率为-115dBm,等于第五探测装置的接收机灵敏度,故第四雷达探测装置的最大传播时延是2μs)。因为第四雷达探测装置的参数和第五雷达探测装置的参数相同,因此如上的参数是对应于第四雷达探测装置的,也是对应于第五雷达探测装置的。根据最大探测距离为250m可计算出
第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置之间的同步误差Δ
s一般参考GPS的定时误差,如2μs,如果第一信息包括第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置之间的同步误差,且不包括时间余量,带入公式2.4可以得到4μs≤Δ
t≤23.8μs。δ可以是预先定义或者预先配置的常量,代表雷达探测装置本身器件的非理想因素造成的时间抖动,例如以δ=1μs为例。如果第一信息包括时间余量以及第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置之间的同步误差,则带入公式2.4可以得到,5μs≤Δ

确定第一阈值的公式和确定第二阈值的公式可以合并为一个公式,例如公式2.4-1,那么可以一并确定第一阈值和第二阈值;或者,确定第一阈值的公式和确定第二阈值的公式也可以单独存在,可以分别确定第一阈值和第二阈值。
以第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置均为车载雷达为例。例如,第四雷达探测装置的扫频带宽为250MHz,扫频周期为Tc为27.8μs,最大探测距离250m,对应的最大中频频率为15MHz,多雷达间信号的最大传播时延为2μs(例如第四雷达探测装置发射的雷达信号经过600米的传播后,到达第五雷达探测装置接收机处的信号功率为-115dBm,等于第五雷达探测装置的接收机灵敏度,故第四雷达探测装置的最大传播时延是2μs)。根据最大探测距离为250m可计算出

如上介绍的是雷达探测装置是可移动的雷达探测装置的情况,下面再介绍雷达探测装置不可移动的情况。
二、雷达探测装置的位置是固定的。例如雷达探测装置固定在RSU上,或者固定在基站上,或者固定在其他的设备上。或者雷达探测装置也可以独立部署,但位置是固定的。
在这种情况下,可以根据至少一个传播时延和至少一个回波时延来确定第一阈值(或者说,确定第一子阈值),也可以根据至少一个传播时延和至少一个回波时延来确定第二阈值(或者说,确定第二子阈值)。
以第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置参与计算为例,就是根据第四雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延、第五雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延、第四雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的传播时延、以及第五雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的传 播时延来确定第一阈值。同理,以第六雷达探测装置和第七雷达探测装置参与计算为例,就是根据第六雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延、第七雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延、第六雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的传播时延、以第七雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的传播时延确定第二阈值。
其中,第四雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延和第五雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延,可以相同也可以不同;第四雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的传播时延和第五雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的传播时延,可以相同也可以不同。另外,因为雷达探测装置的位置都是固定的,因此,所述的第四雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的传播时延,是指第四雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号到达第五雷达探测装置的传播时延,所述的第五雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的传播时延,是指第五雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号到达第四雷达探测装置的传播时延。第六雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延和第七雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延,可以相同也可以不同;第六雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的传播时延和第七雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的传播时延,可以相同也可以不同。另外,因为雷达探测装置的位置都是固定的,因此,所述的第六雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的传播时延,是指第六雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号到达第七雷达探测装置的传播时延,所述的第七雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的传播时延,是指第七雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号到达第六雷达探测装置的传播时延。
以第四雷达探测装置在时间上早于第五雷达探测装置发送雷达信号为例,本申请实施例在设置L个时域范围中的任意两个时域范围的时域起始位置的差值的绝对值时,同样需要考虑在第一点中所述的第(1)条、第(2)条和第(3)条。
因此,综合如上几条可以得出:
确定第一阈值的公式和确定第二阈值的公式可以合并为一个公式,例如公式2.5,那么可以一并确定第一阈值和第二阈值;或者,确定第一阈值的公式和确定第二阈值的公式也可以单独存在,可以分别确定第一阈值和第二阈值。
可参考图22,为按照如上方法所确定的第四雷达探测装置的时域范围和第五雷达探测装置的时域范围的示意图。图22中,实线都表示第四雷达探测装置的信号,虚线都表示第五雷达探测装置的信号(竖直的三条虚线除外),B表示第四雷达探测装置的扫频带宽。根据要求可知,第五雷达探测装置发出雷达信号的时刻至少需要晚于第四雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延(图22中,从左往右的第一条实线表示第四雷达探测装置在一个周期的发射信号,从左往右的第二条实线表示该发射信号的反射信号,也就是回波信号,从左往右的第三条实线表示该发射信号经历传播时延
后的信号),以及要晚于第四雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的传播时延,这样第四雷达探测装置的发射信号才不会被第五雷达探测装置当做接收信号所接收。因此有,
另外还需要保证,第五雷达探测装置的发射信号在带宽B的范围内不会落到第四雷达探测装置的目标回波观察范围内,也就是说,使得第五雷达探测装置的发射信号在带宽B的范围内不会与第四雷达探测装置的目标回波观察范围相交,当然也要保证第四雷达探测装置的发射信号在带宽B的范围内不会落到第五雷达探测装置的目标回波观察范围内。因此有,
而且,a
2需要满足以下的约束,如上的公式才能对第五雷达探测装置的扫频周期没有限制:
综合如上的三个公式,可以得到公式2.5。在图22中可以看到,两个雷达探测装置的发射信号彼此都不会对方的目标回波观察范围内,不会给对方造成干扰。另外,图22是以第四雷达探测装置的信号作为基准,要使得第五雷达探测装置的雷达信号满足相应的需求以使得两个雷达探测装置之间不会相互干扰,因此在将公式2.5应用于图22时,T
c可以是第四雷达探测装置的发送周期。
以第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置均为设置在RSU上的雷达为例,可分别称为RSU雷达1和RSU雷达2。例如,RSU雷达1的扫频带宽为250MHz,扫频周期T
c为27.8μs,最大探测距离为250m,对应的最大中频频率为15MHz。RSU雷达2发送的雷达信号的斜率为RSU雷达1发送的雷达信号的斜率的1.2倍,RSU雷达2的最大探测距离为200m,扫频带宽为250MHz,扫频周期T
c为27.8μs,对应的最大中频频率为15MHz。假设RSU 雷达1和RSU雷达2相距300m,则可得出
根据第四雷达探测装置的最大探测距离为250m可计算出
以及,根据第五雷达探测装置的最大探测距离为200m可计算出
带入公式2.5可得,
即为5.7μs≤Δ
t≤26.7μs。例如取L个时域范围中的任意两个时域范围的时域起始位置的差值的绝对值为5.7μs,则在27.8μs的扫频时长下,可以支持的互不干扰的雷达探测装置的数量为

还有一种较为特殊的情况,就是第四雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的斜率和第五雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的斜率相同,那么,公式2.5可以变形为:
确定第一阈值的公式和确定第二阈值的公式可以合并为一个公式,例如公式2.6,那么可以一并确定第一阈值和第二阈值;或者,确定第一阈值的公式和确定第二阈值的公式也可以单独存在,可以分别确定第一阈值和第二阈值。
可参考图23,为按照如上方法所确定的第四雷达探测装置的时域范围和第五雷达探测装置的时域范围的示意图。图23中,实线都表示第四雷达探测装置的信号,虚线都表示第五雷达探测装置的信号(竖直的三条虚线除外),B表示第四雷达探测装置的扫频带宽,从左往右的第一条实线表示第四雷达探测装置在一个周期的发射信号,从左往右的第二条实线表示该发射信号经历传播时延
后的信号,从左往右的第三条实线表示该发射信号的反射信号,也就是回波信号。要求第四雷达探测装置的发射信号以及该发射信号经历传播时延
后的信号不落在第五雷达探测装置的目标回波观察范围内,因此有,
而因为第四雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的斜率和第五雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的 斜率相同,因此不用考虑两个雷达探测装置的波形会相交的情况,那么
就是公式2.6。在图23中可以看到,两个雷达探测装置的发射信号彼此都不会落在对方的目标回波观察范围内,不会给对方造成干扰。
另外,图23是以第四雷达探测装置的雷达信号作为基准,要使得第五雷达探测装置的雷达信号满足相应的需求以使得两个雷达探测装置之间不会相互干扰,因此在将公式2.6应用于图23时,T
c可以是第四雷达探测装置的发送周期。
以第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置均为设置在RSU上的雷达为例,可分别称为RSU雷达1和RSU雷达2,RSU雷达1发送的雷达信号的斜率和RSU雷达2发送的雷达信号的斜率相同。例如,RSU雷达1的扫频带宽为250MHz,扫频周期T
c为27.8μs,最大探测距离为250m,对应的最大中频频率为15MHz。RSU雷达2的最大探测距离为250m,扫频带宽为250MHz,扫频周期T
c为27.8μs,对应的最大中频频率为15MHz。假设RSU雷达1和RSU雷达2相距300m,则可得出
根据最大探测距离为250m可计算出
带入公式2.6可得,max(1.67,1)≤Δ
t≤27.8-max(1.67,1),即为1μs≤Δ
t≤26.8μs。例如取L个时域范围中的任意两个时域范围的时域起始位置的差值的绝对值为1μs,则在27.8μs的扫频时长下,可以支持的互不干扰的LRR的数量为

再例如,在公式2.6的基础上,如果第四雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延等于第五雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延,且第四雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的传播时延等于第五雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的传播时延,那么,公式2.6可以变形为:

确定第一阈值的公式和确定第二阈值的公式可以合并为一个公式,例如公式2.6-1,那么可以一并确定第一阈值和第二阈值;或者,确定第一阈值的公式和确定第二阈值的公式 也可以单独存在,可以分别确定第一阈值和第二阈值。
以第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置均为设置在RSU上的雷达为例,可分别称为RSU雷达1和RSU雷达2。例如,RSU雷达1的扫频带宽为250MHz,扫频周期T

p=1μs。根据最大探测距离为250m可计算出τ

作为一种可选的实施方式,公式2.6和公式2.6-1可以认为是适用于第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置之间的距离小于
和
中的较大值所对应的光速传播距离的情况。也就是说,在传播时间为
和
中的较大值,且传播速度为光速时,可以计算得到一个距离,该距离就是
和
中的较大值所对应的光速传播距离。如果第四雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的斜率和第五雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的斜率相同,且第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置之间的距离小于该距离,就可以使用公式2.6或公式2.6-1。而如果第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置之间的距离大于或等于该距离,关于确定Δ
t,还可以有其他的方式。
例如,如果第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置之间的距离大于或等于

中的较大值所对应的光速传播距离,则Δ
t可以取T
c的整数倍,也就是说,Δ
t=MT
c,M为正整数。例如简单起见,M可以取0,则第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置同时发送信号即可。
可参考图24,为按照如上方法所确定的第四雷达探测装置的时域范围和第五雷达探测装置的时域范围的示意图。图24中,从左往右的第一条实线表示第四雷达探测装置在一个周期的发射信号,也表示第五雷达探测装置在一个周期的发射信号,从左往右的第二条实线表示第四雷达探测装置的发射信号的反射信号,也就是回波信号,从左往右的第一条虚线表示第五雷达探测装置的发射信号的反射信号,也就是回波信号,从左往右的第三条实线表示第四雷达探测装置的发射信号经历传播时延
后的信号,从左往右的第二条虚线表示第五雷达探测装置的发射信号经历传播时延
后的信号。可以看到,两个雷达探测装置的发射信号彼此都不会落在对方的目标回波观察范围内,不会给对方造成干扰。
如上的公式2.5、公式2.6或公式2.6-1并未考虑第一信息,如果考虑第一信息,那么第一阈值的确定方法会有所不同。例如,可以根据至少一个回波时延、至少一个传播时延和第一信息来确定第一阈值。同理,可以根据至少一个回波时延、至少一个传播时延和第一信息来确定第二阈值。
如果以第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置参与计算为例,则可以根据第一雷达探 测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延、第二雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延、第一雷达探测装置所发送的雷达信号的传播时延、第二雷达探测装置所发送的雷达信号的传播时延、以及第一信息确定第一阈值。同理,如果以第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置参与计算为例,则可以根据第一雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延、第二雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延、第一雷达探测装置所发送的雷达信号的传播时延、第二雷达探测装置所发送的雷达信号的传播时延、以及第一信息确定第二阈值。
其中,确定第一阈值的公式和确定第二阈值的公式可以合并为一个公式,例如公式2.7,那么可以一并确定第一阈值和第二阈值;或者,确定第一阈值的公式和确定第二阈值的公式也可以单独存在,可以分别确定第一阈值和第二阈值。
以第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置均为设置在RSU上的雷达为例,可分别称为RSU雷达1和RSU雷达2,例如RSU雷达2发送的雷达信号的斜率是RSU雷达1发送的雷达信号的斜率的1.2倍。例如,RSU雷达1的扫频带宽为250MHz,扫频周期T

在前文介绍了,如果有多个雷达探测装置(或者多类雷达探测装置),则可以求得多 个第一子阈值,再取多个第一子阈值中的最大值作为第一阈值。同理,如果有多个雷达探测装置(或者多类雷达探测装置),则可以求得多个第二子阈值,再取多个第二子阈值中的最大值作为第二阈值。以下举例介绍。例如,最终的第一阈值采用的是根据第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置计算得到的第一子阈值,第二阈值采用的是根据第六雷达探测装置和第七雷达探测装置计算得到的第二子阈值。也就是说,可以根据第四雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延、第五雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延、第四雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的最大传播时延(或者说,第四雷达探测装置的发射信号的最大传播时延)、以及第五雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的最大传播时延(或者说,第五雷达探测装置的发射信号的最大传播时延),确定一个第一子阈值,该第一子阈值就是多个第一子阈值中的最大值,也就是最终的第一阈值。可以根据第六雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延、第七雷达探测装置的最大探测距离对应的回波时延、第六雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的最大传播时延、以及第七雷达探测装置发送的雷达信号的最大传播时延,确定一个第二子阈值,该第二子阈值就是多个第二子阈值中的最大值,也就是最终的第二阈值。
另外,在如上的介绍过程中,是以根据第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置计算得到第二子阈值为例,如果根据第六雷达探测装置和第七雷达探测装置来计算得到第二子阈值(最终会作为第二阈值),那么计算公式可以与如上的公式相同,为了简化,在根据雷达探测装置和第七雷达探测装置来计算得到第二子阈值时,也可以采用上述的用于计算第二子阈值的公式中的各个字母代表对应的参数,相当于,本申请实施例可能用相同的字母代表了不同的参数。例如公式2.1~公式2.8中的任一个公式,只需代入相应的雷达探测装置的参数,就可以根据相应的雷达探测装置进行计算。在如上的介绍过程中,在公式2.1~公式2.8中代入的均是第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置的参数,而还可以并不代入第四雷达探测装置和第五雷达探测装置的参数,而是代入第六雷达探测装置和第七雷达探测装置的参数,这样就是根据第六雷达探测装置和第七雷达探测装置计算第一子阈值或第二子阈值。
第四雷达探测装置和第六雷达探测装置可以是同一个探测装置,或者也可以是不同的探测装置;第五雷达探测装置和第七雷达探测装置可以是同一个探测装置,或者也可以是不同的探测装置。
例如,有雷达探测装置1、雷达探测装置2和雷达探测装置3,雷达探测装置1与雷达探测装置2相距300m,雷达探测装置1与雷达探测装置3相距400m,雷达探测装置2与雷达探测装置3相距500m,且,雷达探测装置1发送的雷达信号的斜率、雷达探测装置2发送的雷达信号的斜率以及雷达探测装置3发送的雷达信号的斜率相同。例如不考虑第一信息,根据公式2.5计算得到,雷达探测装置1的时域范围与雷达探测装置2的时域范围的时域起始位置的差值的绝对值的范围为1μs≤Δ
t≤26.8μs,雷达探测装置1的时域范围与雷达探测装置3的时域范围的时域起始位置的差值的绝对值的范围为1.3μs≤Δ
t≤26.5μs,雷达探测装置2的时域范围与雷达探测装置3的时域范围的时域起始位置的差值的绝对值的范围为1.67μs≤Δ
t≤26.1μs,则,取这三个范围的交集(也就是相当于, 取多个第一子阈值中的最大值为第一阈值,取多个第二子阈值中的最小值为第二阈值),可得L个时域范围中的任意两个时域范围的时域起始位置的差值的绝对值的范围为1.67μs≤Δ
t≤26.1μs。
在本申请实施例中,可以由一个雷达探测装置计算Δ
t,从而确定L个时域范围,再将L个时域范围的信息发送给其他的雷达探测装置。这样,雷达探测装置从L个时域范围内选择相应的时域范围来发送雷达信号即可。或者,L个时域范围也可以是通过协议规定的,例如协议规定了L个时域范围和Δ
t,这样,雷达探测装置从L个时域范围内选择相应的时域范围来发送雷达信号即可。或者,L个时域范围也可以预配置在雷达探测装置中,例如L个时域范围的信息和Δ
t都预配置在雷达探测装置中,这样,雷达探测装置从L个时域范围内选择相应的时域范围来发送雷达信号即可。
另外在实际应用中,可以通过本申请实施例提供的方法来计算第一阈值和第二阈值,从而根据第一阈值和第二阈值确定Δ
t;或者,也可以只是通过本申请实施例提供的方法来计算第一阈值,而第二阈值可以通过其他方式来计算,再根据第一阈值和第二阈值确定Δ
t,对于第二阈值的计算方法不做限制;或者,也可以只是通过本申请实施例提供的方法来计算第二阈值,而第一阈值可以通过其他方式来计算,再根据第一阈值和第二阈值确定Δ
t,对于第一阈值的计算方法不做限制。
S1702、第一雷达探测装置在所述第一时域范围内发送第一雷达信号。
在选择第一时域范围后,第一雷达探测装置就可以在第一时域范围内发送第一雷达信号,第一雷达信号到达目标物体后可以反射回来,从而第一雷达装置接收反射信号,第一雷达装置将反射信号和本振信号进行混频,得到中频信号,从而根据该中频信号就可以确定目标物体的位置、速度或角度等信息中的一个或多个。
如果还有其他的雷达探测装置也需要发送雷达信号,例如还有第二雷达探测装置,那么第二雷达探测装置可以从L个时域范围内选择第二时域范围来发送第二雷达信号。
也就是说,不同的雷达探测装置可以选择不同的时域范围来发送雷达信号。第一时域范围和第二时域范围可以有交集,也可以没有交集,如果第一时域范围和第二时域范围有交集,那么第一时域范围和第二时域范围的时域起始位置的差值的绝对值可以是在S1701中所计算的Δ
t。从而通过本申请实施例提供的方法,可以保证雷达探测装置的相互干扰区域消失,避免出现虚警或者干扰平台的问题。另外,本申请实施例还可以令Δ
t取所计算的范围中的最小值,也就是令Δ
t等于第一阈值,则在相同的可用时域资源下,可以使得可支持的互不干扰的雷达探测装置的数量最多,极大地增加了对时域资源的利用率。
