Detailed description of the invention
In order to make the purpose of the present invention, technical scheme and advantage clearly understand, below in conjunction with drawings and Examples, the present invention is described in further detail. Should be appreciated that detailed description of the invention described herein is only in order to explain the present invention, does not limit protection scope of the present invention.
The fingerprint positioning method of the present invention, as it is shown in figure 1, include step:
Step S101, between real-time reference point and each access point set up communicate and transmit signal, detection real-time reference point finger print information under the present circumstances, finger print information preferably includes time delay and/or power, and signal is special framing signal or general pilot signal.
Step S102, real-time reference point finger print information under the present circumstances is mated with the finger print information in the fingerprint base under various environment, select one or more sets fingerprint bases agreed with most, described fingerprint base is the set of the reference point finger print information under circumstances of known location, and described real-time reference point is the some points in described reference point. Described various environment is various flow of the people grades such as, and described flow of the people grade is preferably divided into less than 10 people, 10-100 people, 100-500 people, 500-1000 people, unnecessary 1000 people. One matching factor threshold value can be set, real-time reference point finger print information under the present circumstances is mated with the finger print information in the fingerprint base under various environment, select the matching factor fingerprint base higher than threshold value as the fingerprint base agreed with most, if matching factor is below threshold value, then update fingerprint base.
Step S103, set up between terminal with each access point and communicate and transmit signal, the detection terminal finger print information in current location.
Step S104, search the fingerprint base selected according to the terminal finger print information in current location, find out several reference points that finger print information is most like.
Step S105, position weighted average to most like several reference points of finger print information, obtain the position of terminal.
As mentioned above, this method overlaps fingerprint base in off-line phase according to environmental factors foundation more, the finger print information that on-line stage then records according to real-time reference point selects best coupling fingerprint base, thus realizing location estimation, the step of this method off-line and on-line stage is discussed in detail below in conjunction with a specific embodiment.
In the indoor positioning scene described in Fig. 2, distributed 4 access point AP, several make the reference point (in figure stain) of fingerprint base, and RF is real-time reference point, and UE is terminal.
Off-line phase
1) localized service areas is divided by environmental factors, as being divided into<10 people by flow of the people, 10 people 100 people, 100 people 500 people, 500 people 1000 people,>scene such as 1000 people, it is possible to divide according to different time sections every day, obtain the scene that multiple environmental factors is different, with ambient parameter such as flow of the people or time, scene is carried out labelling;
2), when setting up the fingerprint database of corresponding scene, reference point, when specific environmental agents, sends positioning request signal, and described signal can be special framing signal, it is also possible to be general pilot signal;
3) each access point AP receives the signal that above-mentioned reference point sends, reference point is sent framing signal, reference point carries out signal processing to the received signal, and the finger print information such as time delay and/or power of solving and recording framing signal, finger print information preferably selects time delay and power. Described signal processing can be the dependency utilizing signal, and the signal being from a locally generated by the signal received carries out relevant treatment, solves correlation peak and delay positions.
4) above-mentioned steps 3 is repeatedly carried out when specific environmental agents), the associated time delays obtained and power results are carried out computing, takes out the most reliable time delay and power as the fingerprint of described reference point, record the mark of described access point AP simultaneously. Value owing to obtaining is statistical result, it is possible to regards the fingerprint base obtained as and eliminates the impact of channel random factor, only different relevant from building structure, region scene.
5) for specific environmental agents, repeat step (3) (4), measure fingerprint when all the other various scene correspondence environmental factorss respectively.
6) positional information corresponding for all reference points be recorded in fingerprint database. The fingerprint database then collecting all scenes is exactly total fingerprint database of this localized service areas.
7) total fingerprint base content includes: the many sets fingerprint base under the varying environment factor in whole region, the positional information that often set fingerprint base comprises reference point, the access point AP list receiving framing signal, the time delay of each reference point correspondence access point AP and power etc.
On-line stage:
1) the part reference point configuration communication module in region, location or receptor RF, i.e. real-time reference point RF, the finger print data of real time record correspondence reference point locations. Real-time reference point can be distributed by certain principle, as being distributed in environmental factors change place greatly, or the place that location requirement is higher.
2) according to 1) in the finger print data of real-time reference point RF record mate with the fingerprint database under existing varying environment factor, select agree with most one or more sets as location fingerprint data storehouse.
3), in position fixing process, terminal UE sends positioning request signal. Described signal can be special framing signal, it is also possible to be general pilot signal etc.
4) each access point AP receives the UE signal sent, and UE is sent framing signal, and UE carries out signal processing to the received signal, solves and record time delay and the power of framing signal, as measuring sample. Will measure sample and 2) in select location fingerprint data storehouse in finger print data mate.
5) mode of described coupling can be various, it is possible to directly data is mated, it is also possible to mates after some mathematical operation (such as linear superposition).
6) coupling obtains several reference points most like with current location time delay structure, the positional information of described reference point is weighted and is calculated the estimated value of described receiver location, then feeds back to terminal and completes location.
7) can 2) in matching factor threshold value is set, if the matching factor of the finger print information that obtains of real-time reference point RF and the fingerprint base under varying environment factor is below setting threshold value, then fingerprint database is updated by prompting alignment system.
Fingerprint location server of the present invention, as it is shown on figure 3, include:
