Abstract

The present invention relates to a positioning device and a method using the existing space diversity antenna, which can be used for positioning a mobile station in a wireless communication system. Firstly, a possible arrival angle to a base station of a wireless signal emitted by the mobile station is determined by an arrival angle estimation device composed of a switching cross correlation unit, an accumulation unit and a phase detection unit; afterwards, the distance from the mobile station to the base station is estimated according to the time information of the base station, such as time lead parameters in a global mobile communication system; finally, the position of the mobile station is determined by combining the distance from the estimated arrival angle and the mobile station to the base station. The method can obviously improve the efficiency of a traditional positioning system without largely modifying the hardware structure of the existing base station, and the positioning purpose with a single base station can also be realized.

Description

Positioner and method
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of positioner and method, so that mobile radio station is positioned, and be particularly related to a kind of mixing and use positioner and the method that arrives angle (Angle of Arrival) and base station temporal information (Timinginformation).
Background technology
Along with the progress of science and technology, the development of wireless communication system also is with rapid changepl. never-ending changes and improvements.Wireless communication system is used by office, company and individual widely, is modern's tool of communications very easily.Many countries as the U.S., have begun to amend the law to require wireless communication system that the function of location must be able to be provided, to find out the position of sending out number person, for example when emergency took place, navigation system can be found out the position of sending out number person apace, and unit provides instant support for rescue.The employed method of navigation system (Network-based location systems) based on the networking is with known base station (Base station, BS) mobile radio station (Mobilestation that sends signal is found out in the position, MS) coordinate, mobile radio station for example are mobile phone or other mobile communications devices.Traditional navigation system can with the arrival angle of the signal that the base station received (Angle-of-Arrival, AOA) or time lead (Timing-advance) parameter to carry out the mobile radio station location.
Please refer to Fig. 1, it shows to use and arrives the system diagram that angle is carried out the mobile radio station location.Mobile radio station MS can (Lines of bearing, LOB) intersection point of L1 and second orientation axis L2 be determined its position by the first orientation axis.With regard to this practice, be respectively arranged with a plurality of antennas in first base station BS 1 and second base station BS 2, be referred to as array antenna (Antenna array), in the time of need positioning, mobile radio station MS just sends wireless signal 110, because wireless signal 110 is omnibearing wireless signal, therefore after wireless signal 110 sent, two base stations all can be received; Then, only separately the wireless signal that antenna received 110 in two base stations need be carried out Array Signal Processing (Arrray signal processing) computing after, can learn that wireless signal 110 is incident to the incident angle θ of first base station BS 1 1, and wireless signal 110 is incident to the incident angle θ of second base station BS 2 2By suitable computing, can be by incident angle θ 1With θ 2Try to achieve azimuth axis L1 and azimuth axis L2, and the position that utilizes the intersection point of two axial lines to learn mobile radio station MS.By above narrating as can be known, this method needs at least two base stations to carry out the location of mobile radio station, and in practical application, each base station more needs numerous reception antenna, can make the detection of incident angle more accurate, and then estimation correctly obtain the position of mobile radio station.Thus, though can estimate the position of mobile radio station, increase the complexity of base station construction.In existing wireless communication system, the base station of usage space diversity (Space diversity) technology only has two or three antennas usually, such structure ratio is easier to build, and can alleviate the fading effect (Fading effect) of wireless signal 110 again, is therefore widely used; Reach angle to locate actual be infeasible to use if will revise existing base station, because this cost that need cost a lot of money does not meet economic benefit.
Please refer to Fig. 2, it shows use single sub-district (Single cell) time lead (Timing-advance) parameter, and (Cell global identity, CGI) positioning mode is carried out the system diagram of mobile radio station location in conjunction with the cell global identification code.The residing sub-district of each base station BS (Cell) is to have specific cell global identification code to determine the residing subdistrict position of mobile radio station MS.Time lead is that the wireless signal that sends of mobile radio station MS 110 arrives the required times of base station BS, and the propagation velocity that time lead be multiply by wireless signal 110 can be learnt the distance D of mobile radio station MS and base station BS.According to time lead parameter and cell global identification code, it is the center of circle that the possible position of mobile radio station MS just only drops on the base station BS, is on the formed circle of radius with the distance D.The error of this method depends mainly on the accuracy of time lead parameter estimation, and its error is 1/2nd positions (bit) in gsm system, and it will cause about 550 meters position estimation error.In other words, in gsm system, utilize the time lead parameter in conjunction with cell global identification code positioning mode, the mobile station location of estimating will drop on the base station for center of circle width be between 550 meters ring (Ring) R.If a plurality of base stations are carried out the mobile radio station location simultaneously, then can improve the usefulness of location.
In sum, traditional localization method has following shortcoming at least:
Array antenna all need be set up in two base stations when one, positioning with the arrival angle, does not meet economic benefit, and needs accurately location, two base stations, complex structure at least.
Two, with the time lead parameter in conjunction with cell global identification code positioning mode, single base station is the position of locating mobile stations exactly, and need utilize numerous base stations to locate the position that can make mobile radio station accurately simultaneously.
Summary of the invention
In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of localization method, under the equipment that does not need to change significantly existing base station, use single base station can finish the location, and can improve the usefulness of location significantly.
