Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a system for collecting positioning auxiliary information. A serving base station collects the positioning auxiliary information through an interactive signaling message via an X2 interface, wherein the mutual signaling message can be an expanding X2 interface building request/response message, or an expanding base station configuration update message or a special positioning auxiliary message request/response message. The interactive signaling message carries an auxiliary message with a geographical position message to reliably collect the positioning auxiliary information. In the mode of auxiliary positioning by UE (User Equipment) or the mode of judgment positioning by UE, the invention can obtain the auxiliary messages of a candidate cell required to be measured by the UE, such as the geographical position message, the longitude message and the latitude message of the candidate cell. After collected by the servicing base station, the messages are reported to an E-SMLC (Serving Mobile Location Center) to realize OTDOA (Observed Time Difference Of Arrival) positioning judgment, thereby more precisely carrying out UE positioning.

Description

The method and system that a kind of positioning auxiliary information is collected
Technical field
The present invention relates to radio honeycomb communication system, relate in particular to Long Term Evolution (LTE) and Long Term Evolution and strengthen the method and system that are used for the positioning auxiliary information collection in (LTE-A) mobile communication system.
Background technology
LTE (Long Term Evolution, Long Term Evolution) network is by E-UTRAN (EvolvedUTRAN, the universal land radio access web of evolution) base station eNB (Evolved NodeB) and evolution packet switching center EPC (Evolved Packet Core) form, the network flattening.Wherein E-UTRAN comprises the set of the base station eNB that is connected by the S1 interface with EPC, can connect by X2 interface between the eNB, and described S1, X2 are logic interfacing.An EPC can manage one or more eNB, and a base station eNB also can be controlled by a plurality of EPC, and an eNB can manage one or more sub-districts.The LTE-A system is by the LTE system evolved, and the network architecture is consistent with LTE.There is Operational Management System (OAM) in the network architecture simultaneously, can operates and manage one or more network element.
Need a lot of work owing to set up and run a network, such as planning, configuration, optimization, calculating, adjustment, test, guard against false, minimizing failure, self-recovery or the like, this just makes operator that the needs that reduce operation cost and maintenance cost are arranged.On the other hand, the user also needs to simplify the use flow process, and such as family expenses node (Home NodeB) equipment, the user buys promptly wish it is a PnP device back home, and one powers on can obtain configuration operation automatically.Therefore, the trend of next generation mobile networks must be self-configuring, self-optimizing, adaptive network, and human factor is more and more littler to the influence of network, and this has just proposed the self-organizing network notion naturally, and self-organizing network comprises self-configuring and self-optimizing two aspects.In self-optimizing, comprise coverage optimization, mobility optimization, wherein relate to the detection that covers leak in the coverage optimization and cover inadequate detection, mobility optimization then needs the various handover event information that take place in the current area are collected and analyzed, and the location information of terminals when wherein taking place for incident plays an important role to the analysis of above optimization scene.
At present, can adopt mobile positioning technique to obtain location information of terminals in 3G network, widely used mobile positioning technique is current to mainly contain three kinds: based on network cell identification (CELL-ID) location technology, can be observed and reach agps system A-GPS (the AssistedGlobal Positioning System) location technology that time difference OTDOA (Observed Time Difference ofArrival) location technology, network are mixed with terminal.
■ CELL-ID location technology
Based on network CELL-ID location technology is the simplest a kind of location technology, is applicable to all cellular networks, and need not mobile phone and network are made amendment, and just can provide automatic positioning service to current mobile subscriber.This technology is according to the position of determining the user for the residing cellular cell ID of portable terminal number, so its positioning accuracy depends on the size of portable terminal cellular cell radius of living in fully, kilometer do not wait from hundreds of rice to tens.Compare with other technology, this technological investment is less, and the location response time is shorter, and generally in 3s, but its precision is minimum, and error is bigger.
■ OTDOA location technology
OTDOA (Observed Time Difference of Arrival, can be observed reach time difference) is a kind of locate mode that is applied to 3G network.This location technology is measured the due in (TOA, Time of Arrival) of the down-bound pilot frequency signal of different base station and is realized the location by portable terminal, its positioning accuracy is higher, and orientation range is about 100~200m.But the dependence to time reference is stronger, and the influence that disturbed by multipath is also bigger.OTDOA location response time ratio CELL-ID is slightly long, approximately wants 10s.This technology need not mobile phone is made amendment and only need be revised network, can directly provide service to existing user.
■ GPS location technology
A-GPS (Assisted Global Positioning System) is the global positioning system of network assistance, this method needs network and portable terminal can both receive GPS information, be a kind of technology that network base station information and GPS information position portable terminal that combines, can in 2G and 3G network, use.The advantage of this technology is mainly on its positioning accuracy, and in open space such as outdoor, its precision can reach 5~10m under the normal operation circumstances, can be rated as the highest a kind of location technology of present positioning accuracy.On the other hand, the supplementary of utilizing network to transmit can strengthen TTFF (Time To First Fix, primary positioning time), and its time of catching gps signal first reduces greatly, generally only need several seconds, and may need 2~3min unlike the capture time first of GPS.The A-GPS location response time is between 3~10s.
In above-mentioned OTDOA technology, in order to position to current UE, E-SMLC (e-Serving Mobile Location Center, Serving Mobile Location Center) needs to collect relevant auxiliary data, and auxiliary data may be sent to UE, auxiliary data comprises: need the PCI and the GCI of the candidate cell that UE measures, the fiducial time of the relative serving BS of candidate cell is poor, the address location information of candidate cell and/or serving BS.Wherein, specifically send which auxiliary data to UE, depend on the location of which kind of mode of employing, such as the location based on UE, that requires UE to obtain all data exactly, positions calculating by UE; Such as the auxiliary location of UE, only need comprise in the auxiliary data so needs the PCI and the GCI of the candidate cell that UE measures get final product, after UE reports E-SMLC with the information that measures, carries out the UE location Calculation by the auxiliary data that the E-SMLC combination was collected.
In network was realized, how serving BS obtained the relevant supplementary of peripheral base station, and make E-SMLC can make full use of supplementary and carry out terminal positioning, be the content that the present invention will solve.
