摘要

与传统无线光通信相比，紫外光通信（UVC）可以通过大气的强散射效应建立非视距（NLOS）链路，具有背景噪声低、局部保密性高、气候适应性强和组网灵活等优点。受大气对紫外光强吸收作用的影响，UVC需借助NLOS紫外光定位（UVP）技术维持以单阶散射为主的NLOS链路，从而尽可能减小路径损耗。目前UVC和UVP大多采用两套独立的系统实现，面临资源利用率低和定位实时性差的问题。为解决上述问题，文章引入了紫外光通信定位一体化（IUCaP）技术，首先明确其资源共享和功能协作分别带来的集成和协作两种潜在增益，其次对实现潜在增益的NLOS UVP、一体化波束控制（IBC）和通信定位协作机制等关键技术展开了介绍，最后阐述了当前IUCaP面临的研究趋势和挑战。

Abstract

Compared with traditional wireless optical communication

Ultraviolet Communication (UVC) can establish Non Line of Sight (NLOS) links by leveraging the strong scattering effect of the atmosphere. It enjoys unique advantages such as low background noise

high local security

strong climate adaptability

and flexible networking. Affected by the strong atmospheric absorption of ultraviolet light

UVC needs to leverage NLOS Ultraviolet Positioning (UVP) technology to maintain single-scatter-dominated NLOS links for minimizing path loss. Current UVC and UVP are mostly implemented in two separate systems

leading to problems such as low resource utilization and poor real-time positioning performance. To address these issues

this review introduces the Integrated Ultraviolet Communication and Positioning (IUCaP) technology. First

the potential gains are clarified into two parts: integrated gain from resource sharing and collaborative gain from functional synergy. Second

the key technologies for achieving these gains

including NLOS UVP

Integrated Beam Control (IBC)

and communication-positioning collaboration mechanisms are discussed in detail. Finally

current research trends and challenges of IUCaP are elaborated.
