Description

Localization method based on the wireless area parameter
Technical field
The present invention relates to mobile communication system, relate in particular to the realization of positioning service.
Background technology
Positioning service refers to the position that obtains portable terminal/portable terminal (Mobile station, i.e. MS) in mobile communcations system by wireless location technology, and provides corresponding service based on the position of portable terminal.The main application of positioning service comprises: public safety urgent call, network optimization charging, value-added service or the like.
Fig. 1 has described the network structure based on the navigation system in the mobile communcations system on portable terminal plane.Wherein, navigation system comprises traditional network entity and the entity that increases newly.The former mainly comprises portable terminal, mobile switching centre and attaching position register, and the latter mainly comprises mobile positioning center, position determining entity and location services clients machine etc.
Portable terminal is the portable terminal end communication equipment with positioning service function, and major function provides the relevant metrical information in location of this portable terminal.Simultaneously, the application of finishing the part positioning service realizes.
Mobile positioning center is the kernel entity that positioning service realizes.Major function is the control position fixing process, with each entity interaction, and storage and the positional information etc. of portable terminal is provided.
The function of position determining entity mainly is that the information that portable terminal is delivered to network side is handled, thereby calculates the positional information of portable terminal.
The location services clients machine is a service application entity.It obtains the positional information of portable terminal by mobile positioning center, provides different location services according to location information of mobile terminal again.This entity is in charge of by positioning service provider.
In above-mentioned fixer network based on the portable terminal plane, portable terminal, mobile positioning center, position determining entity and location services clients machine are to connect by TCP/IP (Transfer Control Protocol/InternetProtocol, that is TCP) network.Certainly, portable terminal, mobile positioning center, position determining entity and location services clients machine also can be connected by existing circuit-switched network.Communication between mobile positioning center and mobile switching centre, the attaching position register is undertaken by the Signaling System Number 7 net.During physics realization, two or more entities in the network configuration can be merged into a physical entity.
In CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access, i.e. code division multiple access) wireless network, location services system can exist a plurality of mobile positioning centers and a plurality of position determining entity in network.When realizing positioning service, in the time of especially will calculating the positional information of portable terminal, will face in the selection of position determining entity the existing method local position determining entity of general direct selection or select position determining entity to calculate the way of the positional information of portable terminal at random.Described local position determining entity is that position determining entity and the mobile positioning center of portable terminal under the ground of opening an account is generally one-to-one relationship.Existing localization method can be with reference to CHINAUNICOM's " plane relevant device specification requirement of 800MHz CDMA digital mobile cellular telecommunication net positioning service portable terminal " and CHINAUNICOM's " specification requirement of 800MHz CDMA digital mobile cellular telecommunication net MAP "
The shortcoming of existing way is: the mobile communication base station data that generally need in the position determining entity to preserve the actual location of portable terminal can accurately be located portable terminal, and when using local position determining entity, portable terminal has roamed into the other places probably, may do not have nonlocal base station in the local position determining entity this moment, especially roam on-site base station data, thereby cause the location failure.The GPS of position determining entity (GlobalPositioning System, be GPS (Global Position System)) satellite with reference to the receiving equipment coverage generally about 600 kilometers, if way according to above-mentioned traditional selection position determining entity, the position that might cause the current actual place of portable terminal not at the gps satellite of selecteed local position determining entity with reference to the receiving equipment coverage, and cause that positioning accuracy reduces, even location failure.And select the method for local position determining entity, bigger to the network design difficulty, network configuration is dumb, and many cover mobile positioning centers and position determining entity need be set in network, and cost is higher.The selection mode of hence one can see that existing position determining entity has its imperfection part.
Summary of the invention
Thereby technical problem to be solved by this invention is to select imperfection to cause the technical problem that positioning accuracy reduces in order to overcome when realizing the location in the existing mobile communication navigation system position determining entity.
The technical scheme that realizes technical problem to be solved by this invention and take is summarized as follows:
A kind of localization method based on the wireless area parameter is provided, comprises the steps:
(1) mobile positioning center receives Location Request, comprises the wireless area parameter of carrying in the portable terminal initiation locating request message in the described Location Request;
(2) mobile positioning center is selected to send Location Request to corresponding positioning entity;
(3) position interacting message between described position determining entity and the portable terminal, calculate the positional information of described portable terminal;
(4) position determining entity sends the positional information of described portable terminal to mobile positioning center.
Further, the wireless area parameter comprises system identification number, network identification mark and Base Station Identification.Adopt technical solution of the present invention, by in position fixing process, selecting corresponding positioning entity, can guarantee that position determining entity provides the base station information of portable terminal current location base station, the current position of portable terminal is in the coverage of position determining entity gps satellite data.Make locating accuracy and success rate strengthen greatly.Wireless area parameter by the portable terminal transmission, can select suitable position determining entity to position on the one hand, thereby improve locating accuracy and success rate, also can increase on the other hand user's positioned area is limited, limited subscriber positions in some zone, to increase professional flexibility.
