Detailed Description
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more comprehensible, the present application is described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and the detailed description.
The LoRa network consists of terminal nodes, base station nodes and a server. The terminal has an LoRa network connection capability and accesses the LoRa network. According to different application scenarios deployed by the LoRa network, the terminal may include different electronic devices, for example, when the LoRa network is applied in city management, the terminal may include a smart meter; when the LoRa network is applied to a digital home, the terminal may include various smart appliances and the like.
The base station, also called gateway or concentrator in the LoRa network, has a wireless connection convergence function, and includes that the terminal provides an entrance for accessing the LoRa network, and forwards data from the server or the terminal, so as to realize data interaction between the terminal and the server. Of course, the base station can also perform data interaction with other base stations within the signal coverage of the base station by transmitting radio frames.
The server may include a server or a server cluster, and is configured to perform service processing according to data acquired from a base station or a terminal, and control an operating mode and an operating state of the base station or the terminal.
The important reason for the low positioning accuracy of the current LoRa network is that a low-frequency low-bandwidth wireless frequency band is used. One of the core ideas of the embodiments of the present application is that, in the LoRa positioning scheme, the existing low-frequency narrowband LoRa module (whose operating frequency includes but is not limited to 470M-510MHz frequency band) is no longer used for distance measurement, but a high-frequency LoRa module (whose operating frequency includes but is not limited to 2.4GHz frequency band) is used for distance measurement. Although the low-frequency narrow-band LoRa module has the characteristics of low power consumption, long transmission distance and high sensitivity, the ranging precision is low. And the high frequency LoRa module the consumption higher, transmission distance shorter, sensitivity is higher, and the range finding precision is higher. In addition, the maximum transmitting power of the 470M-510MHz frequency band is 17dbm, while the maximum transmitting power of the 2.4G frequency band can reach more than 20dbm, and the transmission power is higher.
Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart illustrating steps of embodiment 1 of a positioning method for a communication network according to the present application is shown, where the communication network includes: the method comprises the following steps:
step 101, the server determines one or more first base stations;

Specifically, the first base stations are base stations capable of communicating with the terminals, and the terminals are within the coverage area of each first base station.
In some specific areas (e.g., a campus), the locations of the base stations and the terminals are fixed, and the server can directly determine which base stations the terminals are within the coverage area of.
In addition, the LoRa network has its own mechanisms and protocols to enable the server to know which base stations the terminal is in coverage.

the server may notify each first base station to transmit a ranging request radio frame.
And each first base station sends a ranging request wireless frame to a second high-frequency ranging module of the terminal sequentially through the first high-frequency ranging module according to a certain time sequence.
The operating frequency of the high frequency ranging module includes, but is not limited to, the 2.4GHz band.
103, the terminal sends a ranging response radio frame aiming at the ranging request radio frame to a first high-frequency ranging module of the first base station through a second high-frequency ranging module of the terminal;
after receiving the ranging request radio frame, the terminal sequentially sends ranging response radio frames aiming at the ranging request radio frame to the first high-frequency ranging modules of the first base stations through the second high-frequency ranging modules of the terminal.
104, the first base station calculates distance information between the first base station and the terminal by adopting the ranging response wireless frame through a first high-frequency ranging module of the first base station, and sends the distance information to a server;
after receiving the ranging response radio frame, the first base station calculates the distance between the first base station and the terminal through a first high-frequency ranging module of the first base station.
And an algorithm for calculating distance information is built in the high-frequency ranging module. Specifically, the high-frequency ranging module can calculate the flight time of electric waves ranging from 2 points according to the sending time t1 of the ranging request radio frame and the receiving time t2 of the ranging response radio frame, the duration of the ranging request radio frame and the ranging response radio frame, and the fixed processing time of the chip, so as to calculate the distance.
And each first base station sends the calculated distance information to a server.
And 105, the server calculates the position of the terminal by adopting the distance information between each first base station and the terminal.
Specifically, the server knows the location of each first base station in advance. And the server calculates the position of the terminal by adopting a positioning algorithm (such as a triangulation method) according to the distance information between each first base station and the terminal.
In this embodiment, each first base station sends a ranging request radio frame to the second high-frequency ranging module of the terminal through its own first high-frequency ranging module, and the terminal returns a ranging response radio frame to the first high-frequency ranging module of each first base station through the second high-frequency ranging module. And each first base station calculates the distance information between the first base station and the terminal according to the response wireless frame through a first high-frequency ranging module of the first base station, and the server determines the position of the terminal according to the distance information between each first base station and the terminal. Compared with the existing method for positioning through the low-frequency LoRa module, the method for positioning through the high-frequency ranging module in the embodiment of the application can improve the positioning accuracy.
Compared with the GPS positioning technology, the GPS positioning cannot support the indoor positioning, and the GPS positioning requires a longer time to search for GPS satellites. The embodiment of the application has the characteristics of high real-time performance, indoor positioning support and the like.
Referring to fig. 2, a flowchart illustrating steps of embodiment 2 of a positioning method of a communication network according to the present application is shown, where the communication network includes: the method comprises the following steps:

the server selects a base station capable of communicating with the terminal from the base stations of the whole network as the second base station, for example, the base station with the best communication signal with the terminal is selected as the second base station.
And the server sends a positioning command request message to the second base station so as to start a positioning process.
Step 202, the second base station sends a positioning request radio frame to the terminal according to a positioning command request message, wherein the positioning request radio frame comprises the first identification information for the ranging request radio frame;
after receiving the positioning command request message, the second base station extracts first identification information aiming at the ranging request radio frame in the positioning command request message; then, the second base station generates a positioning request wireless frame and adds the first identification information into the positioning request wireless frame; and finally, the second base station sends the positioning request wireless frame to the terminal so as to inform the terminal of the impending positioning.
After receiving the location request radio frame, the terminal may analyze the location request radio frame to obtain the first identification information. Furthermore, the transmission power, frequency parameter, bandwidth parameter, modulation parameter, etc. of the ranging request radio frame in the subsequent process can be obtained by analyzing the positioning request radio frame.
In this embodiment, the base station may further include a first low frequency communication module, and the terminal may further include a second low frequency communication module;

In the embodiment of the present application, the operating frequencies of the first low frequency communication module and the second low frequency communication module include, but are not limited to, the 470M-510MHz frequency band.
The second base station may not have the first high frequency ranging module, and the second base station may send the location request wireless frame to the second low frequency communication module of the terminal only through the first low frequency communication module of the second base station.
Step 203, the server determines a first base station and sends a ranging command request message to the first base station; the ranging command request message includes second identification information for a ranging request radio frame;
the server selects one or more first base stations from the network-wide base stations. Specifically, the first base stations are base stations capable of communicating with the terminals, and the terminals are within the coverage area of each first base station.
The server may sequentially transmit the ranging command request message to each of the first base stations according to a certain timing.
And step 204, the first base station generates a ranging request radio frame by using the second identification information for the ranging request radio frame.
After receiving the ranging command request message, the first base station extracts second identification information aiming at the ranging request radio frame in the ranging command request message; then, the first base station generates a ranging request radio frame and adds the second identification information to the ranging request radio frame.
In general, the second identification information received by each first base station is the same.
Step 205, the first base station sends a ranging request radio frame to a second high-frequency ranging module of the terminal through a first high-frequency ranging module of the first base station;
each first base station may send a ranging request radio frame to the second high-frequency ranging module of the terminal in sequence through its own first high-frequency ranging module according to a certain time sequence.
Step 206, the terminal compares the first identification information aiming at the ranging request radio frame acquired in advance with the second identification information aiming at the ranging request radio frame;
the terminal compares whether the first identification information obtained from the positioning command request message sent by the second base station is the same as the second identification information obtained from the wireless frame of the ranging request sent by the first base station.
Step 207, if the two are the same, the terminal sends a ranging response radio frame aiming at the ranging request radio frame to a first high-frequency ranging module of the first base station through a second high-frequency ranging module of the terminal;
the first identification and the second identification are used for uniquely identifying two parties communicating through the high-frequency ranging module. If the first identification and the second identification are the same, the communication is proved to be allowed by the server. And the terminal returns a ranging response wireless frame to the first high-frequency ranging module of the corresponding first base station through the second high-frequency ranging module.
If the first identification is different from the second identification, the terminal can perform frame loss processing and does not return to the ranging response radio frame. In the embodiment of the application, whether the base station and the terminal are allowed to perform ranging is judged through the identification, so that the base stations allowed to perform ranging are all base stations predetermined by the server.
Step 208, the first base station calculates distance information between the first base station and the terminal by using the ranging response radio frame through a first high-frequency ranging module of the first base station, and sends the distance information to a server;
in the embodiment of the present application, the step 208 may include the following sub-steps:

and a substep S12, calculating, by the first base station, distance information between the first base station itself and the terminal by using the sending time and the receiving time through a first high-frequency ranging module of the first base station itself.
And an algorithm for calculating distance information is built in the high-frequency ranging module. Specifically, the high-frequency ranging module can calculate the flight time of electric waves ranging from 2 points according to the sending time t1 of the ranging request radio frame and the receiving time t2 of the ranging response radio frame, the duration of the ranging request radio frame and the ranging response radio frame, and the fixed processing time of the chip, so as to calculate the distance.
Step 209, the server calculates the location of the terminal by using the distance information between each first base station and the terminal.
Specifically, the server knows the location of each first base station in advance. And the server calculates the position of the terminal by adopting a positioning algorithm (such as a triangulation method) according to the distance information between each first base station and the terminal.
In this embodiment, each first base station sends a ranging request radio frame to the second high-frequency ranging module of the terminal through its own first high-frequency ranging module, and the terminal returns a ranging response radio frame to the first high-frequency ranging module of each first base station through the second high-frequency ranging module. And each first base station calculates the distance information between the first base station and the terminal according to the ranging response wireless frame through a first high-frequency ranging module of the first base station, and the server determines the position of the terminal according to the distance information between each first base station and the terminal. Compared with the existing method for positioning through the low-frequency LoRa module, the method for positioning through the high-frequency ranging module in the embodiment of the application can improve the positioning accuracy.
