Description

Method in TD-SCDMA wireless telecommunication system calibrating GPS standard time
Technical field
The present invention relates to the TD-SCDMA field of wireless communication, relate in particular to method in TD-SCDMA wireless telecommunication system calibrating GPS standard time.
Background technology
GPS is a kind of satellite-based navigation system, and it is designed and received the control of US military at first by US military, can freely use for anyone.This system is made up of 24 satellites that on 6 intermediate annular tracks, move, and satellite rings was around 12 hours around of one week of track operation.Each satellite constantly sends about the position of current time, all satellites and some related data information as almanac (almanac) and ephemeris (ephemeris).Gps receiver uses this information to calculate the distance between himself and the satellite.For confirming the position, gps receiver must receive the signal from least three satellites.
Primary positioning time (Time to First Fix; TTFF) characterize gps receiver and locate the required time for the first time; TTFF is decided by the receiving sensitivity of receiver to a great extent, and the intensity of the quantity of visible satellite, each satellite-signal, satellite distribution and the receiver on high is to the visual angle of sky.In a kind of hostile environment, the more weak city high rise building gap of signal or indoor for example needs the time calculating locations of a few minutes under some situation.This is unacceptable for local service (LBS) or urgent call (E911), and these situation need a kind of acquisition time faster.For this reason, people have developed auxiliary type GPS (A-GPS) and have solved the TTFF problem under the adverse environment.
The E911 mandatory requirement that the exploitation of A-GPS partly receives FCC (FCC) can provide cellular location to promote to emergency caller.The purpose of A-GPS is or improves TTFF, perhaps when it can not improve TTFF, makes the location computing become possibility.
Different concept and solution have been developed in the past several years under this keyword of A-GPS, these different concept can be divided into support type GPS (Aided GPS) and two types of auxiliary type GPS (Assisted GPS).
Support type GPS improves TTFF through on the mobile network, sending almanac, ephemeris, rough position and time.This support type data can user level (user plane) last in control aspect (control plane) or the mobile network go up transmission.The computing great majority of the position of support type GPS occur on the mobile device.
Auxiliary type GPS makes and adopts quick TTFF calculating location to become possibility.For realizing this point, utilize the extraneous information as time synchronized, more accurate location, Doppler and frequency to be used for confirming the position.This extraneous information can obtain through the infrastructure device of using mobile network's control aspect, and the mechanism as AFLT (AFLT) is used to confirm the position of mobile device.Here, signal sends from mobile device, is received and measures by several mobile base stations.(based on mobile device) can take place in the calculating of position in mobile device, perhaps on mobile network's server, take place (based on network).
Auxiliary type GPS solution based on mobile device receives extra assistant GPS data through the mobile network, but calculates at the enterprising line position of mobile device.LBS or the E911 service that this means must obtain current position from mobile device.
Adopt based on network auxiliary type GPS solution, mobile device sends the GPS secondary server of original gps data in the mobile network.This webserver can utilize and directly come the extra assistant GPS information of automatic network to come calculating location.After calculating, position data is sent to receiver.LBS or E911 service be the location database of access web server directly.
The benefit of A-GPS is to improve TTFF, increase sensitivity and make the availability maximization; Exist these advantages to be because receiver no longer must be downloaded and decoded from the navigation data of gps satellite, receiver can use more time and disposal ability to follow the tracks of gps signal.
The location Calculation of A-GPS can be divided into MS-Based mode and MS-Assisted mode.In the MS-Based mode, calculate and accomplish by the terminal; And in the MS-Assisted mode, location Calculation is accomplished based on the measurement data that SET provides by network.Two kinds of method for calculating and locating cut both ways: the advantage of MS-Assisted be to the terminal require low, but have time delay big, be not suitable for the shortcomings such as location under the situation of running at high speed.Comparatively speaking, the advantage of MS-Based method is the little and location short time delay of network burden; Be fit to the continuous location situation in the short time; Under network can not provide auxiliary situation, can use from the GPS of tool function and locate, thereby reliability is high; Need not core network under this mode and do any improvement, cost is lower.In general, the MS-Based mode is more desirable locate mode.
In the positioning calculation process for GPS, if confirm to understand the local GPS standard time of GPS receiver, this can accurately measure the accurate time delay of each satellite-signal arrival receiver in the gps system.Under this prerequisite, can improve the receiving sensitivity of GPS receiver effectively and reduce primary positioning time.Yet the GPS standard time that in present A-GPS, is obtained is relatively more rough, not accurate enough mostly.
In recent years, along with the increase of user's request, mobile positioning technique receives increasing concern, particularly 3G technology increasingly maturely provides support for the development of mobile positioning technique.In the network of 2G or 2.5G, owing to receive the restriction of network transfer speeds, the application of hi-Fix technology (A-GPS) is limited to, and 3G network can provide the high-speed radio download function, and this just provides more wide development space for mobile location service.
The TD-SCDMA wireless communication system is the autonomous 3G standard of formulating of China.The key technology of TD-SCDMA is exactly a synchronization CDMA, and promptly each terminal signaling of up link is synchronous fully at base-station demodulator.Like this, each code channel that uses orthogonal intersection quadrature fully just when despreading, mutual unlikely generation multiple access interference has solved the capacity of cdma system greatly.For realizing synchronization CDMA, must solve synchronous subject matters such as detection, foundation and maintenance, this also is one of key technology of native system.But because the position of each user terminal in cell coverage area can change, even carry out in the process in communication, the user can also be to move very at a high speed.Because electric wave will cause synchronous variation in the variation in the propagation time from the base station to the user terminal.If consider the influence of multipath transmisstion again, this will be more difficult synchronously, the difficult problem place that Here it is realizes synchronization CDMA.In synchronous CDMA system, synchronous detection is to obtain through asking relevant mode with software.In the wireless base station, we carry out 8 times the sampling of crossing to the signal from user terminal that receives, and promptly in the baseband signal that demodulates, each chip (Chip) equal time are got 8 sample values, ask relevant with the sample value that this obtains then.When relevant peaks does not reach desirable value, search forward or backward again, till obtaining to receive the synchronous starting point of signal.Between synchronous starting point and it that obtains this received frame like this and the synchronous starting point of expectation apart from SS (its unit be the interval of taking a sample, the i.e. integral multiple of 1/8Chip) at every turn.Because at any time, the base station can only receive the access request at a terminal constantly at SYNC1; And have only a terminal sending this signal constantly at SYNC2, all the other terminals crack at this moment are empty slot (EMPTY), so do not have the interference from other-end in this sub-district, have guaranteed the accuracy of synchronous detection.
The TD-SCDMA system adopts TDD duplex technology and FDMA/TDMA/CDMA multi-access mode, in order to reduce interferences, raising power system capacity, requires between each base station, synchronous between base station and the terminal.Simultaneous techniques in the TD-SCDMA system mainly is made up of two parts, one be between the base station synchronously; Another is the uplink synchronous technology between travelling carriage.Adopt synchronously GPS or other technology realize between the base station synchronously, promptly all signal of base station comprise that System Frame Number (SFN) is consistent in the synchro system.
Utilize synchro system synchronization among base stations, each base station location accurately all to have the characteristics of high-precision GPS receiver in known and each base station; Obtain the GPS standard time and pass to synchronous terminal equipment through the base station, can improve the receiving sensitivity of the A-GPS receiver in the terminal equipment effectively and reduce primary positioning time.Yet owing to have certain distance between user terminal and the base station; The certain propagation delay time of the signal demand of base station just can arrive user terminal, so life period is poor between the frame head of the base station of the frame head of the radio frames that subscriber terminal side obtains and reality.Like this; Will there be certain error in the GPS standard time of base station side with the actual end side GPS standard time; This will influence the accuracy of the GPS standard time of user terminal acquisition, and further influence the receiving sensitivity and the primary positioning time of the A-GPS receiver in the terminal equipment.
