Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart of an information reporting method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, and is applied to a network device, such as a base station. As shown in fig. 1, the method comprises the following steps:

step 101, acquiring a first reference signal.

Wherein the first reference signal comprises: at least one reference signal of C-SRS-Pos, PRACH, DMRS, and SRS.

The virtual wavelength is constructed by using phase measurement values measured by C-SRS-Pos transmitted by a plurality of carrier frequencies, so that the space searching speed of the whole-cycle ambiguity is accelerated.

And 102, measuring according to the first reference signal to obtain a first phase measurement quantity.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the measurement method of the first phase measurement amount is not limited. The network device may select the measurement method based on a pre-configured or its own policy. The first phase measurement includes at least one of an intra-cycle phase value (M), an integer ambiguity (A), and an integer phase value (N).

There is an uncertainty problem of integer periods, since the receiving side cannot directly measure the number of integer periods of the phase change experienced by the first reference signal on the propagation path through the first reference signal. Integer ambiguity refers to the number of indeterminate or ambiguous integer number of cycles that the receiving side cannot directly measure. The full-cycle phase value refers to the number of integer cycles of the phase change experienced by the first reference signal on the propagation path, which can be directly measured by the receiving side through the first reference signal. The intra-cycle phase value refers to the number of fractional cycles of a phase change experienced by the first reference signal on the propagation path, which can be directly measured by the receiving side through the first reference signal.

In practical applications, the first phase measurement is UL-POA, UL-RPOA, or UL-RSPD, wherein the UL-POA, UL-RPOA, or UL-RSPD is obtained according to at least one of a whole-cycle ambiguity, a whole-cycle phase value, and an intra-cycle phase value.

Wherein the UL-RPOA is: a phase value of a starting time point of a subframe i containing the first reference signal received by the node j with respect to a configurable reference time point or a UL-RPOA reference time point.

Wherein the configurable reference time point is 1900 years, 1 month, 1 day, 0 hour, 0 minute and 0 second. The UL-RPOA reference time point is T0+ T _ SRS, T0 represents a time of a start position of a system radio frame numbered 0, and T _ SRS is (10n ═ SRS)_f+n_sf)×10^-3Wherein n is_fAnd n_sfRespectively representing the system radio frame number of the subframe i containing the first reference signal and the subframe number in the system radio frame.

The UL-RSPD is as follows: the relative phase difference upstream between node j and reference node i. The UL-RSPD may be calculated as follows:

UL-RSPD ═ P (received subframe, node j) -P (received subframe, node i);

The node j comprises a terminal to be positioned, and the node i comprises a reference terminal, a reference base station, a reference cell or a reference TRP. In practical applications, a starting time point of a subframe from the node i or the node j is determined according to at least one first reference signal resource. The first reference signal resource may include: C-SRS-Pos resources, PRACH resources, DMRS resources, SRS resources and the like.

As shown in fig. 2, the rectangles in the figure represent the received subframes a from UE i, respectively, and the line 21 in the figure represents the reference time point. Thus, the phase difference between the subframe start time point of the reception subframe a and the reference time point is UL-RPOA. And the small block 22 represents SRS-Pos resources used to determine the starting point in time of one subframe for UE i or UE j.

As shown in fig. 3, two rectangles in the figure represent the received subframe from UE i and the received subframe from UE j, respectively, and the received subframe B is the closest subframe in time between the received subframe a received by UE i and all the subframes received by UE j. Thus, the phase difference between the subframe start time point of the reception subframe a and the subframe start time point of the reception subframe B is UL-RSPD. And the

small blocks

31 and 32 represent SRS-Pos resources, respectively, which are used to determine a starting time point of one subframe of UE i or UE j.

Wherein the unit of the first phase measurement is a first unit of time or radians. The first time unit is G times a second time unit, wherein G is a positive number, and the second time unit is a second, millisecond, microsecond or nanosecond.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the calculation method of the first phase measurement amount may be determined according to the content of the first phase measurement amount.

One, if the first phase measurement comprises an integer ambiguity:

(1) the unit of the first phase measurement is a first unit of time:

in this case, the full cycle phase value is an integer part of the first time unit of the remaining phase measurement value part of the first phase measurement.

(2) The unit of the first phase measurement is radian:

in this case, the full-cycle phase value is an integer multiple of 2 π of the remaining phase measurement value portion of the first phase measurement.

Second, if the first phase measurement does not include integer ambiguity:

(1) the unit of the first phase measurement is a first unit of time:

in this case, the whole-cycle phase value is an integer part of the first time unit of the phase measurement of the first phase measurement.

(2) The unit of the first phase measurement is radian:

in this case, the full-cycle phase value is an integer multiple of 2 π of the phase measurement of the first phase measurement.

Thirdly, if the first phase measurement comprises integer ambiguity:

(1) the unit of the first phase measurement is a first unit of time:

in this case, the intra-cycle phase value is a fractional part of the first time unit of the remaining phase measurement value part of the first phase measurement.

(2) The unit of the first phase measurement is radian:

in this case, the in-cycle phase value is a fractional part of 2 π of the remaining phase measurement part of the first phase measurement.

Fourthly, if the first phase measurement does not include integer ambiguity:

(1) the unit of the first phase measurement is a first unit of time:

in this case, the intra-week phase value is a fractional portion of a first time unit of the phase measurement of the first phase measurement.

(2) The unit of the first phase measurement is radian:

in this case, the intra-cycle phase value is a fractional multiple of 2 π of the phase measurement of the first phase measurement.

Specifically, if the unit of the first phase measurement is the first time unit, the first phase measurement may be calculated in different manners according to different contents included in the first phase measurement.

POA ═ uxa + N + M; or

POA＝A+N+M。

POA ═ uxa + M; or

POA＝A+M。

POA＝N+M。

specifically, if the unit of the first phase measurement is radian, the first phase measurement can be calculated in different ways according to different contents included in the first phase measurement.

POA ═ (uxa + N + M) × 2 pi; or

POA＝(A+N+M)×2π。

POA ═ (uxa + M) × 2 pi; or

POA＝(A+M)×2π。

POA＝(N+M)×2π。

in the above formula, POA represents the first phase measurement; u represents an adjustment coefficient and is an integer greater than or equal to 0; a represents the integer ambiguity; n represents a whole-cycle phase value; m denotes the intra-week phase value.

Wherein, the reporting resolution R of the integer ambiguity_AComprises the following steps:

wherein k is_AIs 0 or a positive integer, the value of which is configurable, k_AThe smaller the value, the higher the resolution.

Wherein, the reported resolution R of the whole-cycle phase value_NComprises the following steps:

wherein k is_NIs 0 or a positive integer, the value of which is configurable, k_NThe smaller the value, the higher the resolution.

Wherein the intra-cycle phase values have a different resolution than the full-cycle phase values. Reporting resolution R of the phase value in the period_MComprises the following steps:

wherein k is_MIs 0 or a positive integer, the value of which is configurable, k_MThe larger the value, the higher the resolution.

In addition, the resolution k can be configured according to at least one item of information such as Carrier working frequency, Carrier bandwidth, SCS (Sub Carrier Spacing), indoor or outdoor, positioning accuracy requirement and the like_NOr k_MTo meet the positioning accuracy requirement.

And step 103, reporting the first phase measurement quantity.

In practical applications, the base station may report the first phase measurement to an LMF (Location Management Function), an LMC (Location Management Center), or other Location processing units.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a flowchart of an information reporting method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, and is applied to a location management device. The location management device may be an LMF, LMC, or other location processing unit. As shown in fig. 4, the method comprises the following steps:

step 401, receiving a first phase measurement.

Wherein the first phase measurement comprises at least one of an intra-cycle phase value, an integer ambiguity, and an integer phase value. The meaning of each information in the first phase measurement amount can be referred to the description of the foregoing embodiment.

And step 402, calculating the position of the terminal according to the first phase measurement quantity.

Wherein, on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, the location management device may further receive at least one of measurement quality indication information and measurement confidence level information.

If the network equipment reports the time delay measurement quantity, the positioning management equipment can also receive the time delay measurement quantity and the relation between the first phase measurement quantity and the time delay measurement quantity, so that the position of the terminal can be calculated conveniently. If the network equipment does not report the time delay measurement quantity, the positioning management equipment can also obtain the time delay measurement quantity according to the first phase measurement quantity, so that the position of the terminal is conveniently calculated.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the unit of the first phase measurement is nanosecond, and includes a whole-cycle ambiguity, a whole-cycle phase value and an intra-cycle phase value.

Wherein, integer ambiguity A in the first phase measurement: i.e. the integer ambiguity part of the first phase measurement.

When the first phase measurement is in nanoseconds, the whole-cycle phase value N in the first phase measurement is an integer part of nanoseconds of a remaining phase measurement part of the first phase measurement excluding the whole-cycle ambiguity.

When the first phase measurement is in nanoseconds, the intra-cycle phase value M in the first phase measurement is the fractional part of nanoseconds of the portion of the remaining phase measurement that does not include the whole cycle ambiguity in the first phase measurement.

The calculation method of the first phase measurement quantity comprises the following steps:

when the first phase measurement is in nanoseconds, POA ═ u × a + N + M;

where u is a configurable adjustment coefficient, and its value is 0 or a positive integer, A is the integer ambiguity, N is the integer phase value, and M is the intra-cycle phase value.

If the carrier frequency is very high (e.g., FR2), the intra-cycle phase value M (i.e., the fractional part) in the first phase measurement can be ignored, and only the integer ambiguity and the integer phase value can be reported, so as to reduce the reporting overhead.

It should be noted that, according to the formula POA + N + M for the first phase measurement, a is the integer ambiguity and is an unknown quantity for the base station, that is, the base station does not know how many integer cycles have passed compared with the reference time point after receiving the uplink positioning reference signal, so there is ambiguity problem. The integer ambiguity a, which is an integer number of nanoseconds, cannot be obtained by measurement but by spatial search. The whole-cycle phase value N is a whole-cycle phase value that can be obtained by the base station through measurement, is a known quantity to the base station, is an integer part of nanoseconds in a phase value that can be obtained through measurement, and is also an integer part of nanoseconds of a remaining phase measurement value part of the first phase measurement quantity that does not include the whole-cycle ambiguity. The intra-cycle phase value M is an intra-cycle phase value that can be obtained by the base station through measurement, is a known quantity for the base station, and is a fraction of nanoseconds in a phase value that can be obtained through measurement, and is a fraction of nanoseconds of a remaining phase measurement value portion of the first phase measurement quantity that does not include the integer ambiguity. The whole-cycle phase value N + the intra-cycle phase value M together constitute a phase value known to the base station.

For example, as shown in fig. 5, assume that a gNB1 is a serving base station of a UE1, a gNB2 is a neighbor base station of a UE1, and a gNB1 and a gNB2 receive uplink positioning reference signals SRS-Pos1 and SRS-Pos2 transmitted by a UE1, respectively. The adjustment coefficient u is set to 1, and assuming that the integer ambiguity a1 calculated by the gNB1 from the SRS-Pos1 measurement from the UE1 is 923 nsec, the N1 is 51 nsec, the M1 is 0.28 nsec, and the integer ambiguity a2 calculated by the gNB2 from the SRS-Pos2 measurement from the UE1 is 1265 nsec, the N2 is 72 nsec, and the M2 is 0.65 nsec, then:

the values of the first phase measurement obtained from SRS-Pos1 are: POA1 ═ u a1+ N1+ M1 ═ 1 ═ 923+51+0.28 ═ 974.28 (nanoseconds)

The values of the first phase measurement obtained from SRS-Pos2 are: POA2 ═ u × a2+ N2+ M2 ═ 1 × 1265+72+0.65 ═ 1337.65 (nanoseconds)

If the positioning scheme is based on a base station (gNB-based), the gNB1 or gNB2 may calculate values of the first phase measurement quantities for SRS-Pos1 and SRS-Pos2 according to the above formula, thereby completing the UE position solution.

In case of a positioning scheme assisted by a base station (gNB-assisted), the gNB1 reports a1 of 923 nsec, N1 of 51 nsec, and M1 of 0.28 nsec obtained from SRS-Pos1, and the gNB reports a2 of 1265 nsec, N2 of 72 nsec, and M2 of 0.65 nsec obtained from SRS-Pos2 to the LMF, and the LMF performs further UE position resolution according to the above formula.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first phase measurement includes three items of information, i.e., a whole-cycle ambiguity, a whole-cycle phase value, and an intra-cycle phase value, and the unit is a nanosecond. After the first phase measurement quantity is reported, the first phase measurement quantity is not required to be multiplied by the carrier wavelength to obtain a distance value, but is directly multiplied by the speed of light to obtain the distance value, the phase value is consistent for different carrier wavelengths, and the resolution ratio is also consistent, so that the speed and the efficiency of UE position calculation are improved, and the positioning accuracy of a system is also improved.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the unit of the first phase measurement is radian, which includes a whole-cycle ambiguity, a whole-cycle phase value and an intra-cycle phase value.

Wherein, integer ambiguity A in the first phase measurement: the integer ambiguity part in the first phase measurement; when the first phase measurement is in radians, the whole-cycle phase value N in the first phase measurement is an integer multiple of 2 pi of the remaining phase measurement portion of the first phase measurement excluding the whole-cycle ambiguity; when the first phase measurement is in radians, the intra-cycle phase value M in the first phase measurement is a fractional part of 2 pi of the part of the remaining phase measurements in the first phase measurement that does not include the whole-cycle ambiguity.

when the first phase measurement is in radians, POA ═ (uxa + N + M) × 2 pi;

If the carrier frequency is very high (e.g. FR2), the intra-cycle phase value M (i.e. fractional part) in the first measurement quantity can be ignored, and only the integer ambiguity and the integer phase value can be reported, so as to reduce the reporting overhead.

It should be noted that, according to the calculation formula of the first phase measurement amount, POA is (uxa + N + M) × 2 pi, the integer ambiguity a is an integer ambiguity, and is an unknown amount for the base station, that is, after receiving the uplink positioning reference signal, the base station does not know how many integer cycles have passed compared to the reference time point, so that there is an ambiguity problem. The integer ambiguity a, which is an integer number of 2 pi, cannot be obtained by measurement but by spatial search. The whole-cycle phase value N is a whole-cycle phase value that can be obtained by the base station through measurement, is a known quantity to the base station, is an integral multiple part of 2 pi in the phase value that can be obtained through measurement, and is also an integral multiple part of 2 pi in the remaining phase measurement value part excluding the whole-cycle ambiguity in the first phase measurement quantity. And the in-week phase value M is an in-week phase value that can be obtained by the base station through measurement, is a known quantity to the base station, is a fractional part of 2 pi in the phase value that can be obtained through measurement, and is a fractional part of 2 pi in the remaining phase measurement value part excluding the whole-cycle ambiguity in the first phase measurement quantity. The whole-cycle phase value N + the intra-cycle phase value M together constitute a phase value known to the base station.

For example, as shown in fig. 6, assume that a gNB1 is a serving base station of a UE1, a gNB2 is a neighbor base station of a UE1, and a gNB1 and a gNB2 receive uplink positioning reference signals SRS-Pos1 and SRS-Pos2 transmitted by a UE1, respectively. The adjustment coefficient u is configured to be 1, and assuming that the global ambiguity a1 calculated by the gNB1 according to the SRS-Pos1 measurement from the UE1 is 4032, the N1 is 89, the M1 is 0.35, and the global ambiguity a2 calculated by the gNB2 according to the SRS-Pos2 measurement from the UE1 is 3876, the N2 is 96, and the M2 is 0.86, then:

the values of the first phase measurement obtained from SRS-Pos1 are:

POA1＝(u*A+N+M)×2π＝(1*4032+89+0.35)×2π

4121.35 x 2 pi (radian)

The values of the first phase measurement obtained from SRS-Pos2 are:

POA1＝(u*A+N+M)×2π＝(1*3876+96+0.86)×2π

3972.86 x 2 pi (radian)

If the positioning scheme is a base station-assisted (gNB-assisted) positioning scheme, the gNB1 reports measurement values obtained from SRS-Pos1, such as a1 ═ 4032, N1 ═ 89, and M1 ═ 0.35, and the gNB2 reports measurement values obtained from SRS-Pos2, such as a2 ═ 3876, N2 ═ 96, and M2 ═ 0.86, to the LMF, and the LMF further resolves the UE position according to the above formula.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first phase measurement includes three items of information, i.e., a whole-cycle ambiguity, a whole-cycle phase value, and an intra-cycle phase value, and the unit is radian. The integer ambiguity and the integer phase value are integral multiples of 2 pi, and are integral multiples of the phase in one wavelength in a real physical sense.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the unit of the first phase measurement is a nanosecond, which includes a full-cycle phase value and an intra-cycle phase value.

When the first phase measurement is in nanoseconds, the whole cycle phase value N in the first phase measurement is an integer part of nanoseconds of the phase measurement in the first phase measurement;

when the first phase measurement is in nanoseconds, the intra-cycle phase value M in the first phase measurement is the fraction of nanoseconds of the phase measurement in the first phase measurement;

when the first phase measurement is in nanoseconds, POA is N + M;

where N is the whole-cycle phase value and M is the intra-cycle phase value.

If the carrier frequency is very high (e.g. FR2), the intra-cycle phase value M (i.e. the fractional part) in the first measurement quantity can be ignored, and only the whole-cycle phase value can be reported, so as to reduce the reporting overhead.

It should be noted that, according to the calculation formula POA of the first phase measurement amount, the whole-cycle phase value N is a whole-cycle phase value that can be obtained by the base station through measurement, and is a known amount for the base station, and is an integer part of nanoseconds in the phase value that can be obtained through measurement, and is also an integer part of nanoseconds in the phase measurement value in the first phase measurement amount. The phase value M is a phase value M obtained by the base station through measurement, and is a known quantity for the base station, which is a fraction of nanoseconds in the phase value obtained through measurement, and is also a fraction of nanoseconds in the phase measurement value in the first phase measurement quantity. The whole-cycle phase value N + the whole-cycle phase value M together constitute a phase value known to the base station.

For example, as shown in fig. 7, it is assumed that a gNB1 is a serving base station of a UE1, a gNB2 is a neighbor base station of the UE1, and the gNB1 and the gNB2 respectively receive uplink positioning reference signals SRS-Pos1 and SRS-Pos2 transmitted by the UE 1. Assuming that gNB1 calculated from SRS-Pos1 measurements from UE1 yields N1-51 nsec, M1-0.28 nsec, gNB2 calculated from SRS-Pos2 measurements from UE1 yields N2-72 nsec, and M2-0.65 nsec, then:

the values of the first phase measurement obtained from SRS-Pos1 are:

POA1 ═ N1+ M1 ═ 51+0.28 ═ 51.28 (nanoseconds)

The values of the first phase measurement obtained from SRS-Pos2 are:

POA2 ═ N2+ M2 ═ 72+0.65 ═ 72.65 (nanoseconds)

If the positioning scheme is a base station-assisted (gNB-assisted) positioning scheme, the gNB1 reports the measured values of N1 ═ 51 nsec and M1 ═ 0.28 nsec obtained according to SRS-Pos1, and the gNB2 reports the measured values of N2 ═ 72 nsec and M2 ═ 0.65 nsec obtained according to SRS-Pos2 to the LMF, and the LMF further performs UE position resolution according to the above formula.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first phase measurement includes two items of information, i.e., a full-cycle phase value and an intra-cycle phase value, and the unit of the first phase measurement is nanoseconds. After the first phase measurement quantity is reported, the distance value is obtained without multiplying the first phase measurement quantity by the carrier wavelength, but the distance value can be obtained by directly multiplying the first phase measurement quantity by the light speed, the phase value is consistent for different carrier wavelengths, and the resolution is also consistent.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the unit of the first phase measurement is radian, which includes a full-cycle phase value and an intra-cycle phase value.

When the first phase measurement is in radian, the whole-cycle phase value N in the first phase measurement is an integral multiple part of 2 pi of the phase measurement value in the first phase measurement; when the first phase measurement is in radians, the intra-cycle phase value M in the first phase measurement is a fractional multiple of 2 pi of the phase measurement in the first phase measurement.

when the first phase measurement is in radians, POA ═ N + M × 2 pi;

where N is the whole-cycle phase value and M is the intra-cycle phase value.

Note that, the calculation formula POA of the first phase measurement amount is (N + M) × 2 pi. The whole-cycle phase value N is a whole-cycle phase value that can be obtained by the base station through measurement, is a known quantity to the base station, is an integral multiple part of 2 pi in the phase value that can be obtained through measurement, and is also an integral multiple part of 2 pi in the phase measurement value in the first phase measurement quantity. The phase value M is a known value which is a fractional part of 2 pi in the phase value obtained by measurement by the base station and is a fractional part of 2 pi in the phase measurement value in the first phase measurement quantity. The whole-cycle phase value N + the whole-cycle phase value M together constitute a phase value known to the base station.

For example, as shown in fig. 8, it is assumed that a gNB1 is a serving base station of a UE1, a gNB2 is a neighbor base station of the UE1, and a gNB1 and a gNB2 are uplink positioning reference signals SRS-Pos1 and SRS-Pos2 transmitted by a UE1, respectively. Assuming that gNB1 calculated from SRS-Pos1 measurements from UE1 yields N1-89 and M1-0.35, and gNB2 calculated from SRS-Pos2 measurements from UE1 yields N2-96 and M2-0.86, then:

the values of the first phase measurement obtained from SRS-Pos1 are:

POA1 ═ N + M × 2 pi ═ 89+0.35 × 2 pi ═ 89.35 × 2 pi (radians)

The values of the first phase measurement obtained from SRS-Pos2 are:

POA1 ═ N + M × 2 pi ═ 96+0.86 × 2 pi ═ 96.86 × 2 pi (radians)

If the positioning scheme is a base station-assisted (gNB-assisted) positioning scheme, the gNB1 reports the measured values of N1-89 and M1-0.35 obtained from SRS-Pos1, and N2-96 and M2-0.86 obtained from SRS-Pos2 to the gNB1 or LMF, and the gNB or LMF performs further UE position resolution according to the above formula.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first phase measurement includes two items of information, i.e., a whole-cycle phase value and an intra-cycle phase value, and the unit is radian. The phase value of the whole circle is integral multiple of 2 pi, which is integral multiple of the phase in one wavelength in real physical sense.

In an embodiment of the invention, the following resolution may also be calculated:

resolution of integer ambiguity: reported resolution R of whole-cycle phase value_AComprises the following steps:

Resolution of whole-cycle phase values: reported resolution R of whole-cycle phase value_NComprises the following steps:

Resolution of intra-cycle phase values: the intra-cycle phase values have a different resolution than the full-cycle phase values. Reported resolution R of phase value in cycle_MComprises the following steps:

In specific application, the resolution k can be configured according to at least one item of information such as carrier working frequency, carrier bandwidth, SCS, indoor or outdoor, positioning accuracy requirement and the like_NOr k_MTo meet the positioning accuracy requirement.

For example: if the system positioning accuracy requirement is centimeter level, the positioning distance resolution is required to be 1 centimeter. If the system configuration requires that, when the first phase measurement consists of a full cycle phase value and an intra-cycle phase value, and the first time unit is nanoseconds, 1 nanosecond corresponds to 0.3 meters.

Suppose a system configuration k_AWhen 0, the resolution of the whole-cycle phase value is:

i.e. the time resolution of the whole-cycle phase values is 1 nanosecond, the corresponding range resolution is 0.3 meters.

Suppose a system configuration k_MThen the resolution of the intra-cycle phase values is:

i.e., the temporal resolution of the phase values in the week is 1/32 nanoseconds, corresponding to a range resolution of about 0.01 meters.

It can thus be seen that the resolution of the first phase measurement, consisting of the whole-cycle phase value and the intra-cycle phase value, can be on the order of 1 cm.

In the embodiment of the invention, each first phase measurement quantity can correspond to measurement quality indication information. The measurement quality indication information of the first phase measurement quantity comprises: error value E_VError resolution E_RAnd the number of error sampling points E_NAnd/or the like. Wherein the error value E_RMeans an optimal estimate of the uncertainty of the measured value; error resolution E_RIs the error value E_VThe quantization step size of the indicated domain; number of error sampling points E_NRefers to calculating an error value E_VThe number of measurements used.

Each first phase measurement may correspond to measurement confidence level information. Confidence level Y refers to: error value E of the first phase measurement_VIn a confidence interval [ X_min,X_max]I.e.:

Y＝Prob{X_min≤E_V≤X_max}

wherein, X_min，X_maxAre all greater than 0 for configuration information.

For example, when the unit of the first phase measurement is nanosecond, the error value E_VWith 5 bits instead, different bit sequences representing different error values, and error resolution E_RSelected by UE from {0.01m, 0.1m, 1m, 10m } setReporting to meet different indoor or outdoor positioning accuracy requirements. Number of error sampling points E_NThe number of sampling points used by the UE for error measurement may be set to 1000, for example.

And when the system configures a confidence interval [ X ]_min,X_max]Is [0 cm, 5 cm ]]If the first phase measurement has 1000 error values E_V950 error values are in the interval 0 cm, 5 cm]When, the confidence level Y is 95%. The base station can measure and report the confidence level so that the LMF and the like can evaluate the measurement quality of the phase measurement quantity.

When the base station reports, there may be the following two reporting modes:

(1) and the base station reports one of the first phase measurement quantity and the time delay measurement quantity.

Since the base station can calculate the corresponding TOA (Time Of Arrival) or TDOA (Time Difference Of Arrival) through the first phase measurement, if the phase measurement is configured, the delay measurement will not be reported.

(2) And the base station simultaneously reports the first phase measurement quantity and the time delay measurement quantity.

The base station reports the first phase measurement quantity and the time delay measurement quantity, and configures the correlation or corresponding relation between the first phase measurement quantity and the time delay measurement quantity, thereby facilitating the measurement quantity combination at the receiving side.

In particular, since a plurality of positioning methods can be simultaneously configured and used, such as a positioning method based on time measurement and a positioning method based on phase measurement; meanwhile, in order to support a plurality Of positioning methods, a plurality Of positioning measurement quantities are also configured at the same time, such as a delay measurement quantity (TOA or TDOA) and a Phase measurement quantity (POA (Phase Of Arrival) or PDOA (Phase Difference Of Arrival)). Because the phase measurement is more accurate and has higher precision, and the time delay measurement can be calculated from the phase measurement, the time delay measurement can not be reported any more if the phase measurement is configured.

In addition, considering that if the base station reports the delay measurement and the first phase measurement simultaneously, the reliability of positioning can be improved, and the positioning delay is reduced, the system can also configure the base station to report the phase measurement and the delay measurement simultaneously. In this case, in order to combine the measurement quantities at the receiving side, the base station reports the correlation between the phase measurement quantity and the delay measurement quantity at the same time when reporting the measurement quantities.

The base station only reports one of the phase measurement quantity and the time delay measurement quantity, or the base station reports the time delay measurement quantity and the phase measurement quantity at the same time and also reports the incidence relation between the phase measurement quantity and the time delay measurement quantity, so that the signaling overhead of reporting can be reduced, or the positioning accuracy is improved.

It can be seen from the above description that, by adopting the scheme of the embodiment of the present invention, a more accurate position of the terminal can be calculated through the reported information of the whole cycle phase value and the cycle phase value of the phase measurement, and the like, thereby avoiding the terminal positioning position deviation caused by insufficient accuracy of the time delay measurement in the prior art, and further improving the system positioning accuracy.
