Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of geolocation of mobile terminals, for example, geolocation by means of a triangularization technique via antennas close to a mobile terminal.
- these estimates can be made by the transmission by the mobile equipment of location signals according to the method called Uplink Time Difference of Arrival (U-TDOA). Localization is done in two steps. First, the time differences are estimated.
- the mobile equipment transmits an uplink signal which arrives at different times at each of the base stations consisting of a radio unit ("Radio Unit” or RU in English), a distributed unit (“Digital Unit” or DU in English) and a centralized unit (CU) of the radio access network (“Radio access network” or RAN in English).
- a central server retrieves these different signals from the base stations and determines the difference in arrival time between the signals.
- These time differences are estimated by subtracting the times of arrival (TOA) from each of the base stations.
- TOA times of arrival
- equipment of the DU type and of the RU type tend to be more and more distant from each other over distances which can vary from a few meters to several tens of kilometers.
- the travel time between these devices is no longer negligible and falsifies the geolocation measurements.
- One of the aims of the invention is to remedy these drawbacks of the state of the art.
- the invention improves the situation with the aid of a method for receiving an uplink reference signal sent by a mobile terminal to a network entity through a radio unit connected to an antenna, used for geolocation of the mobile terminal, the method being implemented by the network entity and comprising:
- the recording as the instant of arrival of the reference signal, of an instant obtained by adding a so-called time delay to the instant of transmission of the reference signal by the radio unit, the delay time being of a value greater than a transmission path time of a so-called comparison signal, between the radio unit and the network entity, and
- this is not the actual time of arrival of the signal from reference which is recorded, but a fictitious moment of arrival calculated to compensate for inaccuracies due to the non-air part of the reference signal path.
- the effective travel time of a signal between the radio unit and the network entity which is of a duration which depends on the distance traveled and on time-varying transmission conditions, it is possible to deduce the travel time of this signal between the mobile terminal and the antenna of the radio unit, i.e. the travel time through the air (also called flight time), simply by knowing the timeout value and the total fictitious journey time between the mobile terminal and the network entity.
- the travel times in the air of the reference signals also called time of flight, between several antennas and a mobile terminal, which make it possible to calculate its position with respect to these antennas with precision.
- the portion of the travel time downstream of an antenna is extended by a fictitious value equal to the time delay, and is therefore constant whatever the distance traveled and the transmission conditions.
- the flight time is obtained. It only remains for the network entity to transmit to a geolocation server either this flight time, or the difference between two of these flight times if the entity receives two reference signals having passed through two units different radios.
- the proposed method compensates for the transmission delays which are due to the non-aerial part of the paths of the reference signals used to determine the geolocation of a terminal.
- the comparison signal can be any signal between the radio unit and the network entity, including being the reference signal itself.
- it comprises measuring a value of the transmission path time of the comparison signal.
- the network entity can verify that the delay is indeed greater than the travel time of a comparison signal, and trigger a procedure for updating the value of the delay if this is not the case. .
- the comparison signal is the reference signal. Thanks to this aspect, no specific signal, other than the reference signal itself, is necessary for the proposed method.
- the comparison signal is a signal distinct from the reference signal.
- the measurement of the travel time of a comparison signal can be performed by the network entity prior to the processing of the reference signal, and independently of the latter.
- the proposed method comprises the transmission, to the radio unit, of a request for transmission of the comparison signal.
- the network entity or another entity further upstream, can receive a comparison signal which enables it to determine a value of the delay which is greater than the travel time of a comparison signal.
- the proposed method comprises the reception of a message comprising the value of the time delay.
- the network entity applies a time delay imposed on it to the reference signal, and does not need to determine it itself.
- the value of the timeout delay can for example be supplied to the network entity by a centralized unit further upstream in the network.
- the proposed method comprises the determination of the value of the time delay as a function of the measured value of the travel time of the comparison signal, and where the message intended for a geolocation server comprises the determined value of the timeout period.
- the network entity determines itself the delay which it applies to the reference signal.
- the network entity must then transmit the value of the time delay to the entity responsible for geolocation, so that it can correct the information which reaches it relating to the travel times of reference signals.
- the message intended for a geolocation server comprises the recorded arrival time.
- the geolocation server receives information known in the standard under the name TOA (Time Of Arrival) by all the network entities.
- the network entity does not calculate the differences between TOAs of reference signals, but sends to the geolocation server the fictitious times of arrival of these reference signals, and possibly the value or values of the time delays, so that the geolocation server can calculate the times of flight of all the reference signals.
- the invention also relates to a device for receiving an uplink reference signal transmitted by a mobile terminal to a network entity through a radio unit connected to an antenna, used for geolocation of the mobile terminal, the device being included in the network entity and comprising a receiver, a transmitter, a processor and a memory coupled to the processor with instructions intended to be executed by the processor for:
- the recording as the instant of arrival of the reference signal, of an instant obtained by adding a so-called time delay to the instant of transmission of the reference signal by the radio unit, the delay time being of a value greater than a transmission path time of a so-called comparison signal, between the radio unit and the network entity, and
- This device capable of implementing in all its embodiments the method for receiving an uplink reference signal which has just been described, is intended to be put implemented in a network entity of a base station of a cellular network, for example of the Digital Unit (DU) type.
- DU Digital Unit
- the invention also relates to a computer program comprising instructions which, when these instructions are executed by a processor, lead the latter to implement the steps of the method for receiving an uplink reference signal, which comes from be described.
- the invention also relates to an information medium readable by a network entity of a base station of a cellular network, and comprising instructions from a computer program as mentioned above.
- the above mentioned program may use any programming language, and be in the form of source code, object code, or intermediate code between source code and object code, such as in partially compiled form, or in n any other desirable shape.
- a medium may comprise a storage means, such as a ROM, for example a CD ROM or a microelectronic circuit ROM, or even a magnetic recording means.
- a storage means such as a ROM, for example a CD ROM or a microelectronic circuit ROM, or even a magnetic recording means.
- Such a storage means can for example be a hard disk, a flash memory, etc.
- an information medium can be a transmissible medium such as an electrical or optical signal, which can be conveyed via an electrical or optical cable, by radio or by other means.
- a program according to the invention can in particular be downloaded from an Internet-type network.
- an information medium may be an integrated circuit in which a program is incorporated, the circuit being adapted to execute or to be used in the execution of the method in question.
- Figure 1 schematically presents a network entity, a radio unit and a mobile terminal according to one embodiment of the invention
- FIG 2 shows an example of implementation of the method for receiving an uplink reference signal, according to one embodiment of the invention
- FIG 3 shows an example of the structure of a device for receiving an uplink reference signal, according to one aspect of the invention.
- transmission conditions it is understood both the conditions internal to the network (prioritization, resource allocation, routing path, buffering, channel coding, etc.) and the conditions external to the network (schedule, variation of temperature, significant traffic fluctuation, electromagnetic interference, etc.). These transmission conditions impact the signal transmission time more or less significantly.
- Signals used to estimate the position of a terminal are understood to mean the signals used to determine travel times between two points of the network, for example, between a mobile terminal whose position is to be determined and a network entity via a radio antenna or even a radio unit whose position is known (for example, a signal which is intended to allow measurement of a transmission path time between the network entity and the mobile terminal via the radio unit ) or even between the network entity and the radio unit (for example, a signal which is intended to allow a measurement of a transmission path time on a part of a communication network between the network entity and radio unit).
- These signals can be reference signals.
- the signals used may be positioning reference signals (PRS).
- PRS sequences are particularly advantageous insofar as they have good autocorrelation properties and low cross-correlation, thus making it possible to precisely extract the PRS in order to measure its time of arrival.
- radio unit is meant the radio transceiver which processes or produces the electrical signal transmitted to the antenna or received from the antenna and which corresponds to the radio signal transmitted or received by the antenna.
- the radio unit is the term used in the 5G standard but this unit can also be called remote radio head or "remote radio head” in English (RRH) or even remote radio unit or "radio remote unit” in English ( RRU). This radio unit is separate from the network entity.
- the terminal can at least partially decode the signals it receives from the radio unit.
- the mobile terminal can be connected to the base station corresponding to the radio unit.
- the network entity can be a distributed unit (this is the term used in the 5G standard) also called a digital unit or a base band unit (“base band unit” in English, BBU). This can be included in a base station or co-located with a centralized unit (CU).
- the network entity is connected to the radio unit by optical and/or microwave links, over distances varying from a few meters to several tens of kilometers.
- the network entity allows the processing of digital data to and from the radio unit which receives and transmits this data in radio form.
- the measurement of the transmission path time of a signal between the radio unit and the entity of the network can be carried out by any known technique, in one direction or the other.
- a measurement of the transmission path time can be carried out by sending a signal comprising information relating to the moment of its transmission and the receiver can then compare the time of arrival with the time of transmission of the signal.
- the measurement of the transmission path time between the network entity and the radio unit can then be performed by the network entity when the radio unit sends the second signal or by the radio unit when the network entity sends the second signal.
- the radio unit can transmit this measurement to the network entity if necessary (each time the network entity uses this measurement and it has not calculated it itself, it obtained via the radio unit).
- Figure 1 schematically presents a network entity, a radio unit and a mobile terminal according to one embodiment of the invention.
- the mobile terminal 1 of a user 2 is in the radio coverage of two radio antennas 3.0 and 4.0.
- the mobile terminal 1 receives the signals produced by the radio units (RU) 3.1 and 4.1 and transmitted respectively by the antennas 3.0 and 4.0.
- the 3.1 and 4.1 radio units are each connected to a 5.0 network entity.
- the links 3.2 and 4.2 between the network entity and the radio units 3.1 and 4.1 can be optical or even electrical links.
- the 5.0 network entity in the 5G standard is a distributed unit (DU).
- This network entity 5.0 sends signals to the radio units 3.1 and 4.1 which the radio units 3.1 and 4.1 convert into electrical signals inducing radio signals via the antennas 3.0 and 4.0, and vice versa.
- the 3.1 radio unit and the 5.0 network entity can be co-located, the link between the radio unit and the 5.0 network entity is then short, for example a few meters.
- the network entity 5.0 can also be located at a distance from the radio unit 4.1, for example several kilometers or tens of kilometers.
- a single network entity 5.0 is represented for the two radio units 3.1 and 4.1.
- each radio unit 3.1 and 4.1 can be served by a separate network entity, which is not shown in the figure, but the implementation of the invention in this case does not imply any particular modification with respect to the implementation depicted in Figure 1.
- a centralized unit (CU) 6 is also connected to the network entity 5.0.
- the separation of the functions of a base station means that it can consist of a centralized unit CU connected to one or more network entities DU, each DU being connected to one or more radio units RU.
- the geolocation of the mobile terminal 1 is done, among other things, by a measurement relating to the signal transmission journey time, for example reference signals such as the PRS, between the network entity 5.0 and the mobile terminal 1.
- the mobile terminal 1 sends a PRS, denoted PRS1, to the network entity 5.0 via the radio unit 3.1 and another PRS, denoted PRS2, to the network entity 5.0 via the radio unit 4.1. More precisely, the mobile terminal 1 emits a PRS signal in radio waves, which is picked up both by the antenna 3.0 of the radio unit 3.1 and by the antenna 4.0 of the radio unit 4.1, after flight times a priori different. Each radio unit then transmits the signal it has received to the network entity 5.0.
- PRS1 a PRS
- PRS2 another PRS
- the network entity 5.0 measures the TOA (Time Of Arrival) of each of the PRS signals received.
- the TOA (Time Of Arrival) obtained do not take into account the transmission path time of the signals PRS1 and PRS2 on the links 3.2 and 4.2, these not having the same transmission characteristics.
- the transmission path times of the PRS1 and PRS2 signals on the links 3.2 and 4.2 that is to say between the radio units 3.1 and 4.1 respectively and the network entity 5.0, are denoted t3 and t4 respectively.
- the measurement of times t3 and t4 can be made using dedicated signals S1 and S2 in the control plane, called comparison signals. Alternatively, this measurement can also be made directly on the PRS1 and PRS2 signals by the network entity 5.0 when it receives them. In this case, the reference signals PRS1 and PRS2 also serve as comparison signals.
- the geolocation of the mobile terminal 1 is estimated based on a direct measurement of the difference in the transmission path times of PRS1 and PRS2, i.e. U-TDOA.
- U-TDOA the difference in the transmission path times of PRS1 and PRS2, i.e. U-TDOA.
- this geolocation method is imprecise because it does not take into account the difference between times t3 and t4 in the calculation of U-TDOA.
- the transmission of PRS1 and PRS2 to determine the U-TDOA are triggered by a request to the geolocation server 7 (Geoloc) requesting the positioning of the mobile terminal 1.
- This may be requested by an application of the mobile terminal 1 or by a request external to the terminal, for example by an authority distinct from the operator, to geolocate a person, that is to say the user 2 of the mobile terminal 1 .
- the server 7 sends a request to the centralized unit 6 which controls the network entity 5.0 in order to obtain the data necessary for a geolocation of the mobile terminal 1.
- the centralized unit 6 then sends a command message to the network entity 5.0 to trigger the transmission of PRS1 and PRS2.
- the radio units 3.1 and 4.1 delay the PRS1 and PRS2 when they receive them, before transmitting them to the mobile terminal 1 .
- the time delay t34* applied is the same for all the radio units, and is calculated with respect to the instant of transmission of the reference signals PRS1 and PRS2 by the network entity.
- the times t3 and t4 being constant and all having the value of the time delay t34*, no longer need to be measured.
- the geolocation server 7 can perform precise geolocation without knowing the times t3 and t4 or their difference.
- FIG. 2 represents an example of implementation of the method for receiving an uplink reference signal, according to one embodiment of the invention.
- network entity 5.0 is configured, i.e. one or more values of time delay t34* is recorded in its memory. Different values can indeed be used for each of the radio units 3.1 and 4.1.
- the server 7 receives a geolocation request from the mobile terminal 1, for example, a request sent by a supervision entity further upstream in the network, or by an application in the mobile terminal 1.
- the server 7 sends a TOA measurement request to the centralized unit 6.
- the centralized unit 6 sends a message through a control channel to the network entity 5.0 to trigger the PRS travel time measurement protocol.
- the central unit can also send this message to other network entities to which other radio units, not shown, are connected.
- the network entity 5.0 which received the message, commands the mobile terminal 1 to transmit the reference signals PRS1 and PRS2, PRS1 being sent to the network entity 5.0 via the radio unit 3.1 and PRS2 being sent to the mobile terminal 1 via the radio unit 4.1.
- the reference signals are timestamped at the time of their transmission by the mobile terminal 1 .
- the network entity 5.0 also commands each of the radio units 3.1 and 4.1 to transmit, in the control plane, the comparison signals S1 and S2 to the network entity 5.0.
- the comparison signals are timestamped at the time of their transmission by the radio units 3.1 and 4.1, respectively.
- the reference signals serve as comparison signals and it is not necessary for the signals S1 and S2 to be sent.
- these comparison signals can equally mean signals distinct from the reference signals, or identical.
- the reference signals PRS1, PRS2, and the comparison signals S1 and S2 can be transmitted periodically.
- the network entity 5.0 detects that the travel time of a comparison signal is greater than its timeout delay t34* stored during step St 1 , then, during a step St5' not shown in the figure 2, the network entity 5.0 triggers a timer review procedure, so that the value of the timer delay is revised upwards.
- the method then stops, or returns to step St 1 .
- the radio units 3.1 and 4.1 receive the signals PRS1 and PRS2 emitted by the mobile terminal 1, assign them a timestamp of passage and retransmit them without delay to the network entity 5.0.
- the network entity 5.0 receives, at a priori different instants, the signals PRS1 and PRS2 emitted by the mobile terminal 1, through the radio units 3.1 and 4.1 respectively, after a priori flight times different.
- the network entity 5.0 modifies the instant of reception of a reference signal received (PRS1 or PRS2) by adding the time delay t34* to the timestamp of passage of the reference signal through the radio unit, and saves the result as TOA of the reference signal.
- the network entity 5.0 sends to the server 7 the TOAs of the reference signals PRS1 and PRS2.
- the server 7 can determine U-TDOA, the difference between the travel times of these reference signals.
- the network entity 5.0 sends to the server 7 the time delay(s) t34* corresponding to the TOAs, possibly at the request of the server 7.
- the server 7 can determine the flight times of the reference signals PRS1 and PRS2, based on TOA and t34*.
- the server 7 can also correct the U-TDOA, when the time delays t34* are not of identical value for all the reference signals.
- the server 7 can then determine a precise position of the mobile terminal 1 on the basis of the times of flight (in the air) of the signals PRS1 and PRS2, and possibly on the basis of other time of flight measurements obtained separately from other network entity(ies) and other radio units connected to other antennas.
- time delay t34* must therefore be set to keep a margin of time in the total propagation time between network entity and mobile terminal. However, it is not advisable to set t34* arbitrarily at 500ps to cover all cases. For example, the time delay t34* between the radio unit 3.1 and the network entity 5.0 can be fixed at a value 10% greater than the time t3.

- Such a device 100 can be implemented in a network entity DU.
