Embodiment
Initiatively send locating information by RN in the embodiment of the invention to the base station.The base station can be directly reports to E-SMLC according to the locating information of locating information of this locality and the RN that receives recently, need in reporting process, not carry out having reduced reporting time delay and Internet resources alternately with RN again.
Referring to Fig. 2, the method flow of base station reporting orientation information is following in the present embodiment:
Step 201: receive the locating information that via node RN initiatively reports and preserve and upgrade operation.
Step 202: the locating information that the locating information and the RN of this locality initiatively reported sends to enhanced service mobile location centre Chinese E-SMLC.
Referring to Fig. 3, the method flow of RN reporting orientation information is following in the present embodiment:
Step 301: obtain local locating information.
Step 302: initiatively send locating information to the base station.
In Fig. 2 and the flow process shown in Figure 3, each step all has multiple implementation, comes to introduce in detail through two exemplary embodiments below.
Referring to Fig. 4, in the present embodiment during RN initial service method flow of reporting orientation information following:
Obtain all local OTDOA information during step 401:RN initial service.When comprising the RN starting up during initial service or RN when opening the Uu mouth and being the UE service.Because RN this locality do not obtained OTDOA information before this, all OTDOA information all change, and are equivalent to the OTDOA information that obtains to change so obtain all OTDOA information.OTDOA information comprises one of following message at least: Physical Cell Identifier, E-UTRAN (Evolved UTRAN network) cellular global identity, tracking area; The absolute wireless frequency channel number of E-UTRAN, PRS (location reference signals) bandwidth, PRS configuration index; Circulating prefix-length, descending continuous P RS subframe numbers, antenna end slogan; System Frame Number initialization time, E-UTRAN access point position coordinate, PRS suppress configuration.
The step 402:RN OTDOA information updating message (OTDOA INFORMATION UPDATE) of passing through is initiatively given the base station with all OTDOA information reporting of this locality.
Step 403: preserve and renewal OTDOA information after receiving OTDOA information updating message the base station.The base station possibly almost receive the OTDOA information updating message that a plurality of RN send simultaneously, and adopts serial mode to handle OTDOA information updating message, preserves and renewal OTDOA information.Concrete, an OTDOA information updating of base station single treatment message is preserved and is upgraded the OTDOA information in this message, and to the RN feedback message that sends this message, just execution in step 404 then.Handle next OTDOA information updating message again, the rest may be inferred.
Step 404: the base station is according to preserving and upgrading the result and send feedback message to RN.If preserve and upgrades successfully, then send success message (OTDOA INFORMATION UPDATE ACK), if preserve and renewal is failed then sent failed message (OTDOA INFORMATION UPDATE FAILURE).After RN receives success message, can finish this and report process, if receive failed message, reporting orientation information once more.Preserve and upgrade failure multiple reason is arranged; For example verification is carried out to the locating information of receiving in the base station; The cell ID that discovery is received and the cell ID of local record do not match; The preceding n position of the preceding n position of the cell ID of perhaps receiving and the cell ID of this sub-district is inconsistent, then causes preserving and upgrading failure.This does not match or be inconsistent, and possibly to be data mistake occurs when transmission, or dispose during for RN and base station configuration cell ID inconsistent, also have other reason.The value of n is looked actual conditions and is decided, and n is 20 in the present embodiment.Any reason of base station preservation and renewal failure that causes all is applicable to present embodiment.
Step 405:RN receives the feedback message that send the base station.
More than be RN initiatively to the process of base station reporting orientation information, with the process of the following base station reporting orientation information that will introduce be relatively independent.
Step 406: the base station receives the OTDOA information request (OTDOA INFORMATION REQUEST) that E-SMLC sends.
Step 407: the base station obtains OTDOA information of this locality and the OTDOA information that RN reports.
Step 408: the base station is given E-SMLC through OTDOA information response (OTDOA INFORMATION RESPONSE) with the OTDOA information reporting that the OTDOA information and the RN of this locality reports.If a plurality of RN are arranged, then the base station need report the OTDOA information of all RN.
Referring to Fig. 5, in the present embodiment when the RN locating information changes the method flow of reporting orientation information following:
Step 501:RN obtains all local OTDOA information.
Step 502:RN is when finding that OTDOA information changes, and the OTDOA information updating message of passing through is initiatively given the base station with the OTDOA information reporting that this locality changes.
Step 503: preserve and renewal OTDOA information after receiving OTDOA information updating message the base station; If promptly the base station receives that the cell ID in the OTDOA information updating message that RN initiatively reports is included in the cell ID in the OTDOA information of having preserved, and then replaces original OTDOA information with the up-to-date OTDOA information of receiving; If do not comprise, then preserve this OTDOA information.The base station possibly almost receive the OTDOA information updating message that a plurality of RN send simultaneously, and adopts parallel mode to handle OTDOA information updating message and preservation OTDOA information.Concrete, a plurality of OTDOA information updating of base station single treatment message and the OTDOA information of preserving in this message are then to a plurality of RN feedback messages, just to the synchronous execution in step 504 of a plurality of RN.
Step 504: the base station is according to preserving and upgrading the result and send feedback message to RN.If preserve successfully and upgrade, then send success message, if preserve and upgrade failure then send failed message.Portability waits for that duration, RN receive and find that failed message carries when waiting for duration in the failed message, through reporting orientation information once more behind the said wait duration.
Step 505:RN receives the feedback message that send the base station.
More than be RN initiatively to the process of base station reporting orientation information, with the process of the following base station reporting orientation information that will introduce be relatively independent.
Step 506: when arriving report cycle, the base station obtains OTDOA information of this locality and the OTDOA information that RN reports.This cycle can be carried to the base station when the OTDOA information request is sent in the base station by E-SMLC for the first time, and perhaps E-SMLC carries to the base station through the OTDOA information request when the cycle changes.OTDOA information is fed back after receiving the OTDOA information request in the base station, all can periodically report OTDOA information later on.
Step 507: the OTDOA information reporting message of base station through being used to transmit locating information is given E-SMLC with the OTDOA information reporting that the OTDOA information and the RN of this locality reports.If a plurality of RN are arranged, then the base station need report the OTDOA information of all RN.OTDOA information reporting message can be arbitrary message that can be used for reporting OTDOA information.
In the present embodiment between RN and the base station, the various message transmitted between base station and the E-SMLC all can pass through LPPa (LTE Positioning Protocol A, LTE location protocol A) protocol transmission, the instance of a protocol stack is referring to shown in Figure 6.Wherein, MME (Mobility Management Entity, Mobility Management Entity) is fully transparent to the LPPa agreement.
