Description

OTDOA measures and positioning assistance data sending method, system and device
Technical field
The present invention relates to wireless communication field, relate in particular to a kind of OTDOA and measure and positioning assistance data sending method, system and device.
Background technology
In UMTS (UMTS); Observed time difference (OTDOA) method is mainly according to the measurement result of observed time difference type 2 between system-frame (SFN-SFN observed time difference type 2); And can estimate position, terminal (UE) with reference to first path type (First Path Type) of each sub-district, the reception signal strength signal intensity (RSS on DwPTS) of descending pilot frequency time slot and the measurement result of terminal relevant speed (UE Related Speed).These measurement results combine the result of the actual drive test and the network planning, can be used for effectively estimating the UE position.But the certainty of measurement of this method depends on number, measuring period, certainty of measurement and the location-estimation algorithm of measurement cell.And can have the processing and the compensation method of the navigation system of non-direct reach path through some, the First Path Type according to measurement and report obtains better location estimation result.
Such as; In TD SDMA (TD-SCDMA) system; The OTDOA method is to confirm the UE position through the time difference of detecting two base station signals arrival, and measuring amount is observed time difference between system-frame (SFN-SFN Observed Time Difference), and this measurement is carried out by UE.The OTDOA method is called hyperbola positioning method again, and it is on the hyperbola of focus that UE is positioned at two base stations.Need set up plural Hyperbolic Equation owing to confirm the UE position, two two-dimensional position coordinates that hyp intersection point is UE, therefore, the OTDOA method requires to have simultaneously the base station more than three to participate in the measurement of positional parameter, and is as shown in Figure 1.
The rudimentary algorithm principle of OTDOA method is following:
Suppose the height at delocalization terminal, the coordinate at terminal be (x, y), 3 base station signals of then minimum needs are received, the position coordinates of i base station transmitter is (x i, y i), i=1,2,3.The time difference of terminal observation is respectively τ 1,2, τ 2,3, τ 1,3The group of then solving an equation
( x - x 2 ) 2 + ( y - y 2 ) 2 - ( x - x 1 ) 2 + ( y - y 1 ) 2 = τ 1,2 c ( x - x 3 ) 2 + ( y - y 3 ) 2 - ( x - x 1 ) 2 + ( y - y 1 ) 2 = τ 1,3 c ( x - x 3 ) 2 + ( y - y 3 ) 2 - ( x - x 2 ) 2 + ( y - y 2 ) 2 = τ 2,3 c
Can obtain the terminal coordinate (x, y).If the measurement result at terminal is accurate, and the influence that does not have multipath to disturb, there is redundant one in so above 3 equations, just 3 equations are 2 uncorrelated equations.When equation had only one to separate, this was separated the coordinate that is UE and separates.When equation has 2 to separate, use with less that of this cell base station distance and separate, another is separated abandon as separating at last.When equation does not have when separating, this time location survey is invalid.The positioning accuracy of this method is probably at 10-200 rice.
In Long Term Evolution (LTE) system; The principle of OTDOA method is similar; Just measuring amount is that the reference signal time difference, (Reference Signal Time Difference, RSTD), its implication was the time difference of the reference signal of two sub-districts receiving.With SFN-SFN observed time difference type 2 in the UMTS system be that similarly the method for using in the location also is similar.
In the LTE system, the positioning flow of OTDOA is roughly following:
Location-server (E-SMLC) is through LTE location Additional Agreement (LTE Positioning Protocol Annex; LPPa) (eNB) obtains the OTDOA auxiliary data of sub-district under this eNB from the base station; Position reference symbol (Positioning Reference Signalling, configuration information PRS) etc. comprising each sub-district.When the OTDOA location need be carried out in the terminal, E-SMLC provided the OTDOA auxiliary data to the terminal, was about to OTDOA measurement cell collection and disposed to the terminal, and the OTDOA measurement cell is concentrated the PRS relevant configuration information that comprises each OTDOA measurement cell.The terminal is measured according to OTDOA auxiliary data that E-SMLC the provided PRS to the OTDOA measurement cell; Obtain the RSTD of OTDOA measurement cell; And measurement result is passed through LTE system location protocol, and (LTE Positioning Protocol LPP) reports E-SMLC.E-SMLC calculates the position at this terminal according to the measurement result at terminal.Concrete positioning flow is as shown in Figure 2:
Step 0:UE sets up Non-Access Stratum (NAS) with mobile management entity MME and is connected;
Step 1:UE sends Location Request to MME;
Step 2:MME sends to E-SMLC with Location Request;
Step 3:E-SMLC selects the OTDOA localization method;
Step 4:E-SMLC sends the LPP that carries the OTDOA auxiliary data to UE auxiliary data message is provided, and UE measures according to the PRS of OTDOA auxiliary data to the OTDOA measurement cell;
Step 5:E-SMLC sends LPP request position information message to UE;
Step 6:UE sends the LPP that carries measurement result to E-SMLC location information message is provided;
Step 7:E-SMLC calculates the position coordinates of UE according to the measurement result of UE;
Step 8:E-SMLC is carried at positioning result and sends to MME in the location response;
Step 9:MME sends to UE with location response;
Step 10:UE returns Release complete to MME.
Wherein, above-mentioned steps 4, E-SMLC according to residing sub-district, terminal with and the frequency range ability information supported, determine the required OTDOA auxiliary data of UE in the follow-up position fixing process, and provide auxiliary data message to send to UE through LPP.LPP provides in the auxiliary data message possibly comprise following information:
The information of OTDOA reference cell comprises the information such as Physical Cell Identifier (PCI), cellular global identity (CGI) and PRS configuration of OTDOA reference cell, and the reference cell of choosing is not limited to Serving cell;
The information list of the adjacent sub-district of OTDOA comprises the information such as PCI, CGI, frequency, PRS configuration of the adjacent sub-district of each OTDOA.Information of adjacent cells tabulation is to be beneficial to the adjacent sub-district of measurement according to some that in advance estimation of UE position is chosen.
The base station reports in the OTDOA auxiliary data that E-SMLC and E-SMLC offer UE through LPPa and comprises the PRS configuration information, and this PRS configuration information comprises the configuration index number of PRS, and concrete corresponding configuration is with reference to following table:
Figure BDA00001605782800031
Figure BDA00001605782800041
The terminal can also provide OTDOA auxiliary data through OTDOA request for assistance data message active request location-server in LPP.
In LPP E-SMLC send to the information of reference cell and the adjacent sub-district at terminal can be referring to agreement TS36.355.
E-SMLC offers in the OTDOA auxiliary data of UE, can also provide the sub-frame offset (prs-SubframeOffset) of PRS to each sub-district, the deviation of first PRS position of its expression reference cell and first PRS position of adjacent sub-district.
Following explanation about the OTDOA auxiliary data is arranged in LPP:
E-SMLC need provide at least one UE can obtain System Frame Number (SFN) in auxiliary data, promptly can search the sub-district of its signal, like Serving cell, can this sub-district be put in reference cell or the adjacent cell list.Otherwise; UE can't carry out OTDOA and measure; (The location server should include at least one cell for which the SFN can be obtained by the UE will fail in the location; E.g.the serving cell; In the assistance data, either as the assistance data reference cell or in the neighbor cell list.Otherwise the UE will be unable to perform the OTDOA measurement and the positioning operation will fail).
In long-term evolution upgrading (LTE-A) system, the peak rate of system has huge raising than LTE system, requires to reach descending 1Gbps, up 500Mbps.Therefore; The LTE-A system needs the terminal extension available bandwidth, has introduced carrier aggregation (CA) technology, be about under the same base station a plurality of continuous or discrete carrier aggregation together; Be terminal service simultaneously; So that required speed to be provided, these carrier waves that condense together be called again member carrier (Component Carrier, CC).Each sub-district can be a member carrier.In order to guarantee backwards compatibility, each carrier wave maximum is no more than 20MHz.
In the LTE-A system; In the sub-district of terminal on measuring a plurality of frequencies, need to give the base station through Radio Resource control (RRC) signaling transmission OTDOA cell information or frequency information, (GAP) at interval measured for this terminal configuration in the base station; Network dispatch terminal not during measuring GAP; Let the terminal carry out different-frequency measure, the terminal is carried out relevant OTDOA and is measured during measuring GAP.
In realizing process of the present invention, the inventor finds to exist in the prior art following technical problem:
In some cases, in fact location-server can't guarantee in auxiliary data, to carry the sub-district that at least one UE can obtain SFN.Such as, when location-server is not known the information of the Serving cell at UE place, and owing to do not know the position of UE sub-district of living in, this UE of adjacent sub-district that is provided can't search, and makes UE can't carry out OTDOA and measures.Can recognize also that according to the description in the above-mentioned agreement this situation is contingent.In case the measurement that UE can't carry out OTDOA has taken place, just can't reach the purpose of location.Under urgent situation, can't satisfy location requirement is hazardous, like urgent call, and urgent rescue etc.
