Description

Measurement reporting configuration method, measurement reporting method and device

Technical field

The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of communication technology, and specifically relate to a measurement reporting configuration method, a measurement reporting method and a device.

Background technique

In related technologies, the air interface positioning function is enabled and enhanced. Its enhanced indicators are mainly positioning accuracy (accuracy), positioning end-to-end latency and physical layer latency (end-to-end latency and PHY layerlatency), network overhead, Terminal energy consumption; in other related technologies, air interface positioning will be further enhanced based on positioning integrity (integrity) indicators.

The performance requirement for positioning accuracy is that X% (for example, 80% or 90%) of the terminals in the area reach an accuracy of Y meters (for example, 3m or 0.2m). As shown in Figure 1, the center of the circle is the true position of the terminal. The first The small concentric circle on the layer is the accuracy requirement Y meters, and the large concentric circle on the outermost layer is the upper limit of the positioning error (for example, 10m). The positioning accuracy error obeys a Gaussian distribution and cannot limit the error tail. Therefore, for 10% of the dead pixel areas in the area (corresponding to the 90% accuracy requirement), the positioning accuracy error may be very large, far exceeding the error upper limit.

Positioning integrity further limits the upper limit of the error. As shown in Figure 2, all positioning errors are required not to exceed the upper limit of the error. The introduction of positioning integrity can further improve the reliability of positioning. Use cases such as advanced autonomous driving, Electronic Toll Collection (ETC), and safe positioning of mine personnel all have certain requirements for positioning integrity.

For air interface positioning, the factors that affect positioning integrity mainly include: 1) device performance; 2) channel status; 3) position calculation.

Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments.

Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "such as" in the embodiments of the present application is not to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, use of the words "exemplary" or "such as" is intended to present the concept in a concrete manner.

In order to facilitate understanding of the implementation of this application, the following technical points are introduced below:

1. UE-based positioning

According to the method of solving location information, existing positioning technology can be divided into terminal-based positioning and terminal/base station-assisted positioning (UE-/RAN-assisted positioning). The location information for terminal-based positioning is calculated by the terminal itself; terminal/base station-assisted positioning requires the UE/RAN to report measurement quantities to the Location Management Function (LMF), and the location information is calculated by the LMF.

2. Base station-assisted positioning (RAN-assisted positioning)

For positioning methods that use LMF to resolve positions, the difference between terminal-assisted (UE-assisted) and base-station-assisted (RAN-assisted) lies in the different positioning technologies, that is, who measures and reports the measurement quantities. UE-assisted is aimed at positioning technologies that require terminals to participate in measurement and reporting, including Downlink Time Difference of Arrival (DL-TDOA), Downlink Angle of Departure (DL-AoD), etc.; while RAN-assisted is targeted at The most important ones are positioning technologies that require base stations to participate in measurement and reporting, including Uplink Time Difference of Arrival (UL-TDOA), Uplink angle-of-arrival (UL-AoA), etc.

3. Measurement reporting mechanism

·For UE-based positioning, the terminal calculates the position by itself without reporting it to the positioning management function;

·The UE and RAN sides support periodic reporting of measurement quantities or location estimates:

·The measurement volume or location estimates reporting period on the UE side includes 1, 2, 4, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, and 64 seconds (s);

·The measurement reporting period on the RAN side includes 120, 240, 480, 640, 1024, 2048, 5120, and 10240 milliseconds (ms);

·In each report, the UE/RAN performs layer 3 filtering on multiple measurement results obtained during the measurement period (the measurement interval in each two reports may contain multiple measurable reference signal transmission opportunities) to obtain a measurement quantity ;

· In each report, the UE/RAN will carry the timestamp of the measurement/location estimates, which is selected based on the UE/RAN implementation.

In order to improve the integrity index of positioning and avoid the impact of error factors such as abnormal equipment downtime and channel state mutations on the measurement results as much as possible, the inventor thought of using UE-based positioning and RAN-assisted positioning to perform secondary detection of the measurement results. From a UE-based perspective, it can utilize more non-air interface positioning technologies (RAT-independent positioning), such as Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Bluetooth, Ultra Wide Band (UWB), inertial navigation When the measurement volume is obtained, the impact of error sources existing in air interface positioning on position calculation can be reduced; from a RAN-assisted perspective, base stations/core network elements have stronger processing capabilities, which can reduce the impact of UE processing capabilities. Measurement and calculation errors caused by limitations, etc.

However, the inventor found that in order to accurately match the positions and measurement quantities reported by the UE side and the RAN side, and thereby perform accurate secondary verification, it is necessary to align the measurement windows and reporting times of the two as much as possible. However, in the existing measurement reporting mechanism, firstly, the reporting periods on the UE and RAN sides do not match; secondly, the timestamps carried by the UE and RAN when reporting are based on implementation selection and are difficult to match.
