圖1展示可實施本揭露之例示性實施例之一例示性通訊環境100。通訊環境100包括一第一裝置110、包括參考裝置120-1、120-2、120-3、120-4及120-5在內之一組參考裝置、以及一目標裝置130。為了討論目的,這組參考裝置120-1、120-2、120-3、120-4及120-5統稱為或個別稱為參考裝置120。FIG. 1 shows an
在例示性環境100中,目標裝置130係受到定位之一裝置。在一些例示性實施例中,目標裝置130可包含一終端裝置。在所示實例中,目標裝置130係繪示為一IoT情境中之一機器人。然而,將了解的是,目標裝置130可包含任何其他類型之終端裝置。In the
參考裝置120可包含物理實體,其提供要藉由目標裝置130偵測及測量之信號,以便取得目標裝置130之位置。藉由參考信號120傳送以供定位目標裝置130之信號可包含參考信號,諸如定位參考信號(PRS)或信標信號。參考裝置120亦可稱為參考源或傳送接收點(TRP)。在一些例示性實施例中,參考裝置120可包含位在一無線電接取網路(RAN)中之網路裝置。舉例而言,參考裝置120可包含伺服目標裝置130之一網路裝置,例如與目標裝置130連接之一網路裝置。在一些實例中,參考裝置120可包含伺服網路裝置之一或多個相鄰網路裝置。替代地,或除了RAN中之網路裝置以外,參考裝置120可包含位在一無線接取局部網路(WLAN)中之接取點(AP)、符合其他通訊協定之裝置,諸如藍牙R裝置,及/或類似者。
第一裝置110可包含被組配用以為目標裝置130管理定位及/或向目標裝置130提供資料(例如:「輔助資料」)以促進位置確定之一伺服器及/或任何其他運算裝置。在此類狀況中,第一裝置110可稱為一位置伺服器。在一些例示性實施例中,第一裝置110可包括被組配用以支援終端裝置位置管理之一核心網路(CN)實體。舉例而言,第一裝置110可包含一位置管理功能(LMF),其藉由一目標裝置130將一控制平面(CP)位置解決方案用於5G或NR無線接取支援目標裝置130之位置。在其他實例中,第一裝置110可包含一經發現SLP (D-SLP)或一緊急SLP (E-SLP)。第一裝置110亦可包括一增強型伺服行動位置中心(E-SMLC),其針對藉由目標裝置130之LTE接取使用一控制平面(CP)位置解決方案來支援UE 105之位置。The
用於目標裝置130之定位程序可包括一目標裝置(例如:UE)為基礎之程序或一目標裝置(例如:UE)輔助程序。在目標裝置為基礎之程序中,目標裝置130對從複數個參考裝置120傳送之參考信號進行測量,並且基於測量之結果來估計其位置。測量亦可意指為定位相關測量或針對定位目的而進行之測量。測量之結果可因此稱為定位相關測量結果。在目標裝置輔助程序中,目標裝置130例如經由非接取層(NAS)向第一裝置110回報定位相關測量結果。第一裝置110接著基於定位相關測量結果來估計目標裝置130之位置。第一裝置110可向目標裝置130及/或向對於目標裝置130之位置提出請求之任何其他實體提供估計位置。The positioning procedure for the
據瞭解,裝置之數量僅用於說明目的而非建議任何限制。通訊環境100可包括適於實施本揭露之例示性實施例之任意數量的第一裝置、參考裝置、及目標裝置。It is understood that the number of devices is for illustrative purposes only and does not suggest any limitation. The
通訊環境100中之通訊可根據任何適當之通訊協定來實施,包含、但不限於第一代(1G)、第二代(2G)、第三代(3G)、第四代(4G)與第五代(5G)及類似者之蜂巢式通訊協定、諸如電機電子工程師學會(IEEE) 802.11及類似者之無線局部網路通訊協定、及/或目前已知或未來待開發之任何其他協定。此外,通訊可利用任何適當之無線通訊技術,包含但不限於:分碼多重進接(CDMA)、分頻多重進接(FDMA)、分時多重進接(TDMA)、分頻雙工(FDD)、分時雙工(TDD)、多輸入多輸出(MIMO)、正交分頻多重(OFDM)、離散傅立葉展佈OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)及/或目前已知或未來待開發之任何其他技術。Communication in the
為了支援許多應用中之關鍵服務要求,對於裝置定位之準確度要求不斷提高。舉例而言,5G定位要求之一詳細清單在3GPP規格TS 22.261之表格7.3.2.2-1中有提供,下文複製其內容。 表格7.3.2.2-1 水平及垂直定位服務等級之效能要求
如可見到地,對於一些定位服務等級,定位準確度之等級、以及服務可用性之等級達到具有挑戰性之數字(例如,0.3 m之準確度,伴隨99.9%之可用性),暗指作為一端對端服務之完整性應涵蓋多個領域,使得預期之使用案例在涵蓋範圍內。As can be seen, for some positioning service levels, the level of positioning accuracy, and the level of service availability reach challenging figures (eg, 0.3 m accuracy with 99.9% availability), implying that as an end-to-end The completeness of the service should cover multiple areas such that the intended use cases are covered.
與裝置定位相關聯之一主要問題係安全性問題,作為一通訊網路中總體完整性要求之部分。特別的是,在一些關鍵應用中估計之位置需要非常接近地對應於地面真實位置;否則無法達到完整性等級,且因此定位服務將無法符合其要求。One of the major issues associated with device location is security as part of the overall integrity requirements in a communication network. In particular, in some critical applications the estimated location needs to correspond very closely to the ground truth location; otherwise the integrity level cannot be achieved and therefore the location service will not be able to meet its requirements.
「無效參考裝置」一詞大致用來表示冒名頂替一真參考裝置之一裝置。「無效參考裝置」亦可稱為一「非法參考裝置」、一「偽參考裝置」或「一無效參考裝置」,並且那些用語在本文中可互換使用。與無效參考裝置相反,一真參考裝置亦稱為一「有效參考裝置」、一「合法參考裝置」、或「一真實參考裝置」,並且這些用語在本文中可互換使用。The term "invalid reference device" is loosely used to denote one of the devices impersonating a true reference device. An "invalid reference device" may also be referred to as an "illegal reference device," a "pseudo reference device," or "an invalid reference device," and those terms are used interchangeably herein. In contrast to an invalid reference device, a true reference device is also referred to as a "valid reference device," a "legal reference device," or "a true reference device," and these terms are used interchangeably herein.
一無效參考裝置係藉由攻擊者惡意地用於竄改定位資料(還有其他)並致使故障。更具體而言,一些定位程序要求測量藉由目標裝置處之已知參考裝置所傳送之參考信號,使得可基於定位相關測量結果來估計目標裝置之位置。如果一或多個參考裝置係未對網路註冊並傳送目標裝置所測得參考信號之無效參考裝置,則目標裝置之估計位置將失真。舉例而言,在圖1之通訊環境100中,以一無效參考裝置(諸如參考裝置120-5)來說明,第一裝置110可沒有能力區別合法與不合法之定位相關測量結果,並且可將全部所接收結果用於估計目標裝置130之位置。取決於相關聯之使用案例,目標裝置130之失真位置可造成關鍵問題。An invalid reference device is maliciously used by an attacker to tamper with location data (among other things) and cause a malfunction. More specifically, some positioning procedures require measurement of reference signals transmitted by known reference devices at the target device so that the location of the target device can be estimated based on the positioning-related measurements. If one or more reference devices are invalid reference devices that are not registered with the network and transmit reference signals measured by the target device, the estimated location of the target device will be distorted. For example, in the
一般而言,為了定位目的而傳送之參考信號係非加密信標,因為目標裝置不需要與參考裝置建立安全連接也能接收參考信號。因此,參考信號可輕易地受到惡意攻擊者模仿、重播或竄改。結果是,一無效參考裝置可從未在網路中註冊之一不明位置偽造參考信號。在另一情境中,無效參考裝置可有能力重播來自一合法參考裝置之參考信號,然而,其不在用於目標裝置之有效參考裝置之中。重播之參考信號可潛在地具有一鄰近參考裝置所用參考信號之相同型樣。在此類攻擊情境中,目標裝置可藉由測量並非從合法鄰近參考裝置在網路處註冊之位置發端之參考信號來推導一定位相關測量結果。因此,基於此一「非法」定位相關測量結果,目標裝置之位置可能失真,例如,其未對應於地面真實位置。In general, reference signals transmitted for positioning purposes are unencrypted beacons, since the target device does not need to establish a secure connection with the reference device to receive the reference signal. Therefore, the reference signal can be easily imitated, replayed or tampered with by malicious attackers. As a result, an invalid reference device can forge reference signals from an unknown location that has never been registered in the network. In another scenario, an invalid reference device may be capable of replaying reference signals from a valid reference device, however, which are not among the valid reference devices for the target device. The replayed reference signal may potentially have the same pattern as the reference signal used by a neighboring reference device. In such attack scenarios, the target device can derive a positioning-related measurement by measuring reference signals that do not originate from locations where legitimate neighboring reference devices are registered with the network. Therefore, based on this "illegal" location-related measurement, the location of the target device may be distorted, eg, it does not correspond to the ground truth location.
一些定位程序,諸如一網路輔助定位程序及取得非目標裝置相關聯網路輔助資料之一程序,可不要求目標裝置參與所在處測量及回報。針對正在定位之目標裝置取得並回報定位測量的是網路裝置。由於網路裝置已先與核心網路實體(諸如接取與行動性管理功能 - AMF)建立安全連接才取得及回報定位測量,一無效參考裝置可沒有機會入侵以發起任何攻擊。Some positioning procedures, such as a network-assisted positioning procedure and a procedure to obtain network-assisted data associated with a non-target device, may not require the target device to participate in location measurement and reporting. It is the network device that obtains and reports positioning measurements for the target device being positioned. Since the network device has established a secure connection with core network entities (such as the Access and Mobility Management Function - AMF) before obtaining and reporting location measurements, an invalid reference device has no chance of intrusion to launch any attack.
然而,在如上述目標裝置(例如:UE)為基礎之定位程序或目標裝置(例如:UE)輔助定位程序中,目標裝置需要基於從一組參考裝置接收之參考信號來進行定位相關測量及/或位置估計。為了確保用於一目標裝置之定位完整性,期望從傳送參考信號以供定位目標裝置之一組參考裝置識別一(諸)無效參考裝置。 基本運作原理 However, in a target device (eg, UE)-based positioning procedure or a target device (eg, UE) assisted positioning procedure as described above, the target device needs to perform positioning-related measurements and/or based on reference signals received from a set of reference devices. or location estimation. In order to ensure positioning integrity for a target device, it is desirable to identify an invalid reference device(s) from a set of reference devices that transmit reference signals for positioning the target device. basic operating principle
根據本揭露之一些例示性實施例,提供有一種用於在裝置定位中識別一(諸)無效參考裝置之解決方案。在本解決方案中,一第一裝置針對一組參考裝置中之至少一個參考裝置從一第二裝置接收至少一個第一定位相關測量結果。第二裝置舉例而言,可包含受到定位之一目標裝置或第一裝置知道其位置之任何可信賴裝置。第一裝置基於該至少一個第一定位相關測量結果及該第二裝置之一位置,確定該至少一個參考裝置之至少一個估計位置。第一裝置接著將至少一個估計位置與用於目標裝置之有效參考裝置之一組位置作比較。如果在至少一個估計位置與有效參考裝置之該組位置之間發現一不匹配,則第一裝置確定至少一個參考裝置包含一或多個無效參考裝置。第一裝置可從取得其估計位置之至少一個參考裝置識別無效參考裝置。According to some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, there is provided a solution for identifying an invalid reference device(s) in device location. In this solution, a first device receives at least one first positioning-related measurement from a second device for at least one reference device in a set of reference devices. The second device may include, for example, a target device that is positioned or any trusted device whose location is known by the first device. The first device determines at least one estimated location of the at least one reference device based on the at least one first positioning-related measurement and a location of the second device. The first device then compares the at least one estimated location to a set of locations of valid reference devices for the target device. If a mismatch is found between the at least one estimated location and the set of locations of valid reference devices, the first device determines that the at least one reference device includes one or more invalid reference devices. The first device may identify invalid reference devices from at least one reference device from which its estimated location was obtained.
透過本解決方案,藉由指導一第二裝置回報用於確定一(諸)參考裝置之一(諸)估計位置的一(諸)定位相關測量結果,第一裝置可驗證是否存在一(諸)無效參考裝置。本解決方案可支援該(等)無效參考裝置之準確偵測,而不會導致裝置之間出現顯著額外負荷或現有定位程序出現變化。另外,本揭露之解決方案中不需要重量級密碼編譯解決方案也能隱藏定位相關資訊。With this solution, by directing a second device to report a position-related measurement(s) used to determine the estimated position(s) of one of the reference device(s), the first device can verify the existence of the one(s) Invalid reference device. This solution supports accurate detection of the invalid reference device(s) without causing significant additional load between devices or changes to existing positioning procedures. In addition, the disclosed solution does not require a heavyweight ciphering solution to hide location-related information.
該(等)無效參考裝置之準確偵測可確保目標裝置之準確位置確定,例如藉由將藉由測量一(諸)參考信號取得之一(諸)定位相關測量結果從該(等)無效參考裝置排除。Accurate detection of the invalid reference device(s) can ensure accurate position determination of the target device, for example by transferring a positioning-related measurement result(s) obtained by measuring a reference signal(s) from the invalid reference(s) Device excluded.
下文將參照附圖詳細說明本揭露之例示性實施例。如上述,輔助第一裝置識別該(等)無效參考裝置之第二裝置可以是目標裝置或第一裝置知道其位置之任何其他可信賴裝置。在下文中,取決於第二裝置之選擇,該(等)無效參考裝置之識別可涉及不同裝置,其例示性實施例將分別參照圖2及圖5作說明。 ( 諸) 無效參考裝置之目標裝置輔助識別 Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. As mentioned above, the second device that assists the first device in identifying the invalid reference device(s) may be the target device or any other trusted device whose location is known to the first device. In the following, depending on the selection of the second device, the identification of the invalid reference device(s) may relate to different devices, exemplary embodiments of which will be explained with reference to Figures 2 and 5, respectively. Target Device Aided Identification of Invalid Reference Device ( s)
首先請參照圖2,其根據本揭露之一些例示性實施例,展示用於識別一無效參考裝置之一信令流程200。為了討論目的,信令流程200將參照圖1作說明。信令流程200涉及圖1中之第一裝置110、一組參考裝置120及目標裝置130。在圖2之例示性實施例中,目標裝置130當作一第二裝置,用來為第一裝置110提供輔助資訊以檢查該組參考裝置120中是否包括一(諸)無效參考裝置。Referring first to FIG. 2, a
如圖示,該組參考裝置120為了定位目標裝置130之目的而傳送205相應參考信號。如上述,該組參考裝置120可包含位在RAN中之網路裝置、位在WLAN中之AP、及/或能夠為了定位之目的而傳送參考信號之其他裝置。As shown, the set of
在本揭露之例示性實施例中,目標裝置130藉由從至少一個參考裝置120測量至少一個參考信號來確定210至少一個第一定位相關測量結果,以供定位該組參考裝置120中之至少一者。In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure,
在一些例示性實施例中,目標裝置130可藉由第一裝置110來組配,以針對至少一個參考裝置120回報該(等)第一定位相關測量結果。第一裝置110可向目標裝置130傳送212測量組態資訊。測量組態資訊係用於組配目標裝置130以針對至少一個參考裝置120回報一相應第一定位相關測量結果。至少一個參考裝置120可以是視為一潛在無效參考裝置之一個(諸)參考裝置。在一例示性實施例中,第一裝置110可藉由測量組態資訊來組配目標裝置130,以針對傳送出並藉由目標裝置130測量之一參考信號的各參考裝置120回報一第一定位相關測量結果。In some exemplary embodiments, the
可向目標裝置130提供測量組態資訊作為一實體安全性組態。在接收214測量組態資訊後,目標裝置130便可從而針對組配之參考裝置確定第一定位相關測量結果。在一些例示性實施例中,可指定或預組配目標裝置130以回報與從其偵測到參考信號之各參考裝置120相關聯之第一定位相關測量結果。The measurement configuration information may be provided to the
與一對應參考裝置120相關聯之一第一定位相關測量結果包括可用於確定參考裝置120之一位置的測量資訊。第一定位相關測量結果可包含各種測量資訊以能夠定位參考裝置120。具體而言,第一定位相關測量結果可包含對傳送自對應參考裝置120之參考信號進行之一時序測量、一角度相關測量、及/或一所接收電力相關測量。時序測量可允許目標裝置130與對應參考裝置120之間的距離估計。在一些例示性實施例中,時序測量可包括對應參考裝置120之時序提前(TA)之一測量。A first location-related measurement associated with a
角度相關測量可允許目標裝置130與對應參考裝置120之間的角度估計。在一些例示性實施例中,角度相關測量可包括指出對應參考裝置120處之一出發角(AoD)的測量資訊。可測量AoD作為從對應參考裝置120傳送之參考信號之AoD。The angle-dependent measurements may allow angle estimation between the
如圖3所示,假設目標裝置130被組配用以回報第一定位相關測量結果以供參考裝置120-1至120-5之定位。目標裝置130可使用波束311至315從參考裝置120-1至120-5偵測參考信號,並且測量參考信號之所接收信號電力。目標裝置130可接著確定參考裝置120-1至120-5處之AoD (表示為θ1、θ2、θ3、θ4及θ5)之相應角度相關測量。As shown in FIG. 3 , it is assumed that the
作為一替代方案、或另外,角度相關測量可包括指出從對應參考裝置120抵達目標裝置130之一方向與從一給定參考裝置120抵達目標裝置130之一方向之間的一相對角度的測量資訊。從參考裝置120抵達目標裝置130之方向可藉由測量從參考裝置120傳送之參考信號之抵達方向來確定。也就是說,由於目標裝置130之方位不明,目標裝置130可相對於其看到某參考裝置之一參考角度來測量其看到對應參考裝置120之角度。該相對角度可視為一相對角度。某參考裝置120可以是用於目標裝置130之該組參考裝置120中之一伺服裝置、或當作一測量參考用於確定相對角度之任何其他裝置。Alternatively, or in addition, the angle-related measurements may include measurement information indicating a relative angle between a direction from the
為了更妥適地繪示相對角度之測量,如圖3所示,假設參考裝置120-3係當作一測量參考用於針對其他參考裝置測量相對角度。在目標裝置130處測量起於參考裝置120-1之一抵達方向與起於參考裝置120-3之一抵達方向之間的一相對角度321。類似的是,目標裝置130可測量起於參考裝置120-2與參考裝置120-3之抵達方向之間的一相對角度322、起於參考裝置120-4與參考裝置120-3之抵達方向之間的一相對角度323、以及起於參考裝置120-5與參考裝置120-3之抵達方向之間的一相對角度324。In order to better illustrate the relative angle measurement, as shown in FIG. 3 , it is assumed that the reference device 120 - 3 is used as a measurement reference for measuring relative angles with respect to other reference devices. A
對於一參考裝置120,所接收電力相關測量可包含從此參考裝置120測量之參考信號之一所接收電力。在一些例示性實施例中,所接收電力相關測量指出一參考信號已接收功率(RSRP)、一參考信號已接收品質(RSRQ)、及/或參考信號之所接收能量用之任何其他指示符。在一些例示性實施例中,目標裝置130可針對接收波束中之各者進行所接收電力之一波束特有測量。For a
已經提供一些例示性測量以用於估計參考裝置120之位置。將了解的是,只要此類測量可促進參考裝置120之定位,亦可確定並且在第一定位相關測量結果中包括對傳送自參考裝置120之參考信號進行之測量之各項其他態樣。Some exemplary measurements have been provided for estimating the location of
除了第一定位相關測量結果以外,目標裝置130進一步藉由測量傳送自該組參考裝置120之相應參考信號來確定一組第二定位相關測量結果以供目標裝置130之定位。各第二定位相關測量結果係與該組參考裝置120中之一者相關聯,係藉由測量此對應參考裝置120所傳送之參考信號來取得。In addition to the first positioning-related measurements, the
該組第二定位相關測量結果包括可用於確定目標裝置130之一位置之測量資訊。舉一例來說,目標裝置130可測量起於對應參考裝置120及另一參考裝置120 (其當作一測量參考)之參考信號之下行鏈路(DL)抵達時間參考(DL-TDoA)。因此,與一對應參考裝置120相關聯之一第二定位相關測量結果可包括指出參考信號時差(RSTD)之測量資訊。RSTD係對應參考裝置120與當作一測量參考之另一個參考裝置120之間的一相對時序差異。The second set of location-related measurements includes measurement information that can be used to determine a location of the
將了解的是,取決於第一裝置110所施用之位置估計方法,各第二定位相關測量結果可替代地或另外包括可用於定位目標裝置130之其他測量資訊。It will be appreciated that each second location-related measurement may alternatively or additionally include other measurement information that may be used to locate the
仍請參照圖2,目標裝置130向第一裝置110傳送215用於定位至少一個參考裝置120之至少一個第一定位相關測量結果。另外,目標裝置130向第一裝置110傳送該組第二定位相關測量結果以供目標裝置130之定位。第一定位相關測量結果可與該組第二定位相關測量結果一起或分開傳送。Still referring to FIG. 2 , the
第一裝置110接收220至少一個第一定位相關測量結果以及該組第二定位相關測量結果。為了檢查任何無效參考裝置是否侵入目標裝置130之定位相關測量,第一裝置110基於至少一個第一定位相關測量結果及目標裝置130之一位置來確定225至少一個參考裝置120之至少一個估計位置。The
由於目標裝置130之地面真實位置不明,第一裝置110可基於該組第二定位相關測量結果來確定目標裝置130之一估計位置,並且使用目標裝置130之估計位置來確定至少一個參考裝置120之估計位置。目標裝置130之位置估計已知有各種可用定位方法。第一裝置110可施用該等定位方法中任何適合的定位方法,並且本揭露之範疇不受限於這點。Since the ground truth location of the
給定目標裝置130之估計位置,對於回報有一第一定位相關測量結果之各參考裝置120,第一裝置110可基於對應之第一定位相關測量結果、及目標裝置130之估計位置來確定參考裝置120之一估計位置。Given the estimated location of the
在一些例示性實施例中,第一裝置110可基於相關聯之第一定位相關測量結果及目標裝置130之估計位置中所包括之時序測量(諸如TA之測量)及/或所接收電力相關測量,來確定參考裝置120與目標裝置130之間的一估計距離。第一裝置110可進一步基於取自目標裝置130之至少一個角度相關測量,諸如指出參考裝置120處之AoD、或目標裝置130處兩個參考裝置120之間抵達方向之相對角度的測量資訊,確定從目標裝置130抵達參考裝置120之一方向之一估計角度。第一裝置110可接著基於目標裝置130之估計距離、估計角度、及估計位置來確定對應參考裝置120之估計位置。In some demonstrative embodiments,
將了解的是,取決於第一定位相關測量結果,第一裝置110可將其他方法施用於參考裝置120之位置估計。本揭露之範疇在本文中並不受限。It will be appreciated that the
隨著確定至少一個參考裝置120之至少一個估計位置,第一裝置110將參考裝置120之至少一個估計位置與用於目標裝置130之有效參考裝置120之一組位置作比較。有效參考裝置120可以是在目標裝置130之一追蹤區域中註冊之那些參考裝置。在一些例示性實施例中,有效參考裝置120之該組位置可藉由AMF向第一裝置110提供。在一些例示性實施例中,可將有效參考裝置120之該組位置表示為目標裝置130之追蹤區域之一範圍。As the at least one estimated location of the at least one
取決於比較之結果,如果第一裝置110偵測到參考裝置120之至少一個估計位置與有效參考裝置之該組位置之間不匹配,則第一裝置110可確定有至少一個無效參考裝置傳送藉由目標裝置130測量之參考信號。因此,第一裝置110從至少一個參考裝置120識別230一無效參考裝置。在一些例示性實施例中,如果發現一或多個估計位置遠離有效參考裝置之該組位置,例如遠離目標裝置130之追蹤區域,則可偵測到不匹配。Depending on the result of the comparison, if the
在一些例示性實施例中,由於一無效參考裝置可有能力複製或重播來自一有效參考裝置之參考信號,第一裝置110可能沒有能力在該組第二定位相關測量結果之中區別針對參考裝置進行之合法及非法測量。因此,第一裝置110可將所有參考裝置120視為不可處理之參考裝置,並且可需要驗證各參考裝置120。因此,可請求目標裝置130針對該組參考裝置120中之各者回報第一定位相關測量結果,用於定位之參考信號係測量自參考裝置120。在一些例示性實施例中,如果第一裝置110可採用某方式確定該組參考裝置120中之一或多者未遭由一無效參考裝置冒名頂替,則可不需要來自目標裝置130之第一定位相關測量結果。在這種狀況中,第一裝置110可例如藉由不要求目標裝置130回報第一定位相關測量結果來略過有效參考裝置120之驗證。In some exemplary embodiments, the
在一些例示性實施例中,如果僅需要驗證一個參考裝置120,則此參考裝置120之估計位置與有效參考裝置之該組位置之間的不匹配可指出此參考裝置120係一無效參考裝置。在一些狀況中,如果第一裝置110需要驗證二或更多個參考裝置120,則第一裝置110可不具體地推斷哪個參考裝置120係一個無效參考裝置且其非僅基於估計位置與有效參考裝置之該組位置之間的不匹配。為了在二或更多個參考裝置120之中具體定位出偽參考裝置,第一裝置110可施用一排除方法,用來如果排除一或多個參考裝置120,則檢查其餘參考裝置120之估計位置是否全部匹配有效參考裝置之位置。In some illustrative embodiments, if only one
特別的是,每次排除一或多個參考裝置120時,第一裝置110均捨棄與已排除參考裝置120相關聯之第二定位相關測量結果,並且使用其餘第二定位相關測量結果來更新目標裝置130之估計位置。第一裝置110可基於目標裝置130之已更新估計位置及用於其餘參考裝置120之第一定位相關測量結果來確定其餘參考裝置120之已更新估計位置。Specifically, each time one or
接著將其餘參考裝置120之已更新估計位置與有效參考裝置之該組位置作比較。如果所有已更新估計位置都匹配有效參考裝置之該組位置,舉例而言,如果所有已更新估計位置都在目標裝置130之追蹤區域內,則意味著目標裝置130屬於合法,且因此其餘參考裝置120全都合法。因此,可將一或多個已排除參考裝置120確定為無效參考裝置。The updated estimated positions of the remaining
第一裝置110可進行一反覆過程以驗證參考裝置120之所有可能組合,其中在各輪反覆中從組合中排除若干參考裝置。圖4根據本揭露之一些例示性實施例,繪示識別一無效參考裝置之此一反覆過程400。The
於程序塊405,第一裝置110將要排除之參考裝置之一數量(表示為N)設定為一(「1」)。於程序塊410,第一裝置110從要驗證之複數個參考裝置120排除N個參考裝置。藉由排除不同之N個參考裝置,第一裝置110取得M組其餘參考裝置120,各組包含參考裝置120之一不同組合。At
舉一例來說,假設第一裝置110需要檢查圖1之實例中之五個參考裝置120-1至120-5中之各者是否均係一無效參考裝置。如果要從五個參考裝置中排除一個參考裝置(N=1),則第一裝置110可取得五組其餘之參考裝置,且從一組排除一個不同參考裝置。這五組其餘參考裝置可表示為{120-1, 120-2, 120-3, 120-4}、{120-1, 120-2, 120-3, 120-5}、{120-1, 120-2, 120-4, 120-5}、{120-1, 120-3, 120-4, 120-5}、及{120-2, 120-3, 120-4, 120-5}。For example, assume that the
第一裝置110進行M次反覆以判斷這M組中其餘參考裝置120之估計位置是否與有效參考裝置之該組位置匹配。具體而言,這M組其餘參考裝置可從1標引至M。於程序塊415,第一裝置110將用於一組其餘參考裝置120之一索引i設定為一(「1」)。於程序塊420,第一裝置110基於與第i組其餘參考裝置120相關聯之第二定位相關測量結果來更新目標裝置130之估計位置。可將與從第i組排除之參考裝置相關聯之第二定位相關測量結果從目標裝置130之位置估計捨棄。The
於程序塊425,第一裝置110基於目標裝置130之已更新估計位置及目標裝置130針對第i組其餘參考裝置回報之第一定位相關測量結果,更新第i組其餘參考裝置120之估計位置。第一裝置110可重新運算第i組中各參考裝置120之估計位置。參考裝置120之位置估計可採用與上述相同之方式來進行。At
於程序塊430,第一裝置110判斷第i組其餘參考裝置120之已更新估計位置是否全都匹配有效參考裝置之該組位置。如果已更新估計位置匹配有效參考裝置之該組位置,則過程400前往程序塊435。於程序塊435,第一裝置110將出自第i組其餘參考裝置120之N個已排除參考裝置識別為無效參考裝置。在以上參照圖1之實例中,如果為該組參考裝置{120-1, 120-2, 120-3, 120-4}確定之已更新估計位置匹配有效參考裝置之該組位置,則第一裝置110識別出從該組遺漏之參考裝置120-5係一無效參考裝置。At
如果偵測到已更新估計位置與有效參考裝置之該組位置之間的一不匹配,則過程400前往程序塊440,其中第一裝置110將索引i設定為遞增一(亦即,i=i+1 ),以便驗證下一組其餘參考裝置 120。於程序塊445,第一裝置110藉由檢查是否i>M來確定這M組其餘參考裝置120是否全都經過驗證。如果i≤M,則過程400返回到程序塊420以驗證下一組其餘參考裝置120。如果i>M,則第一裝置110無法藉由僅排除N個參考裝置來具體推斷無效參考裝置,因為無效參考裝置之數量可能大於N。因此,過程400前往程序塊450,其中第一裝置110將N設定為遞增一(亦即,N=N+1),以便將更大量參考裝置從要驗證之複數個參考裝置排除。過程400自程序塊410重複。If a mismatch between the updated estimated position and the set of positions of the active reference device is detected,
藉由在過程400中進行一或多輪反覆,第一裝置110可識別N個(其中N可等於或大於一)無效參考裝置。將了解的是,圖4中所示之反覆過程400係僅為了說明目的而提供。基於反覆過程400,可有許多變例。舉例而言,可在一或多次反覆中排除多於一個參考裝置。關於這點,本揭露之範疇並不受限。By performing one or more rounds of iterations in
在一些例示性實施例中,在參考裝置120之驗證期間,如果一組其餘參考裝置120之已更新估計位置匹配有效參考裝置之該組位置,則可將目前這輪反覆中取得之目標裝置130之已更新估計位置確定為目標裝置130之一有效或合法位置。第一裝置110可向目標裝置130或向對目標裝置130之位置提出請求之任何實體傳送目標裝置130之已確定有效位置。可確保目標裝置130之位置之準確度,因為其係基於與合法參考裝置120相關聯之定位相關測量結果來確定。In some illustrative embodiments, during verification of
在第一裝置110識別出一或多個無效參考裝置120之後,在一些例示性實施例中,第一裝置110可向目標裝置130通知無效參考裝置。請往回參照圖2,在一些狀況中,第一裝置110向目標裝置130傳送235用以指出無效參考裝置120之一指示,目標裝置130從無效參考裝置120偵測到參考信號。藉由從第一裝置110接收240該指示,目標裝置130可判斷哪個(些)參考裝置屬於非法,或哪個(些)參考信號源自無效參考裝置。After the
在一些例示性實施例中,第一裝置110可憑藉一輔助資料更新訊息來更新輔助資料以指出無效參考裝置。此輔助資料更新訊息可含有要測量及回報之參考信號上之已更新資訊,其中可基於無效參考裝置之識別將參考信號標記為合法或不合法。舉例而言,輔助資料更新訊息可包括關於OTDOANeighbourCellInfoList資訊元素(IE)之已更新資訊,無效參考裝置係標示於該IE。In some exemplary embodiments, the
在一些例示性實施例中,如果目標裝置130之位置估計是在本機進行,則目標裝置130可捨棄目前之第二定位相關測量結果而不用於確定其位置。在未來之位置估計中,目標裝置130亦可忽略從無效參考裝置傳送之參考信號,確保位置估計準確。在一些例示性實施例中,如果目標裝置130之位置估計係例如藉由第一裝置110來遠端進行,則目標裝置130可不進行及回報來自無效參考裝置之定位相關測量。In some exemplary embodiments, if the location estimation of the
由於已識別出無效參考裝置,在一些例示性實施例中,第一裝置110可進一步進行確定以致使針對無效參考裝置進行一緩解動作,以便移除通訊網路中之潛在安全性問題。具體而言,第一裝置110可向一網路營運商通知無效參考裝置之存在性。網路營運商可因此通知可能定位出無效參考裝置之一區域中之一執法實體。 ( 諸) 無效參考裝置之可信賴裝置輔助識別 Since the invalid reference device has been identified, in some exemplary embodiments, the
在一些例示性實施例中,如上述,代替依賴於從目標裝置130回報之第一定位相關測量結果,第一裝置110可替代地指導一可信賴裝置測量並回報第一定位相關測量結果,以供定位要驗證之參考裝置120。在一些例示性實施例中,如果目標裝置130之位置在第一裝置110處不可用,舉例而言,如果目標裝置130未向第一裝置120回報第一定位相關測量結果,則可需要來自可信賴裝置之協助。在一些其他狀況中,目標裝置130本身可以是可不提供真實資訊之一惡意裝置。因此,第一裝置110可決定不將來自目標裝置130之回報用於識別無效參考裝置。In some exemplary embodiments, as described above, instead of relying on the first positioning-related measurement reported from the
圖5根據一些例示性實施例,繪示用於識別一無效參考裝置之一信令流程500,其中涉及可信賴裝置。信令流程500涉及圖1中之第一裝置110、一組參考裝置120及目標裝置130。信令流程500另外涉及一可信賴裝置502,其當作一第二裝置,用來協助第一裝置110估計要驗證之參考裝置120之位置。5 illustrates a
可信賴裝置502可以是在第一裝置110信賴之通訊網路中註冊之任何裝置。可信賴裝置502之有效位置在第一裝置110處屬於已知。在一些例示性實施例中,例如在網路部署階段期間,第一裝置110可組配有一或多個可信賴裝置及其有效位置。在一些例示性實施例中,可在操作期間藉由一CN實體向第一裝置110提供一或多個可信賴裝置及其有效位置。可信賴裝置502可以是傳送參考裝置以供定位目標裝置130之參考裝置120之一。在一些其他例示性實施例中,可信賴裝置502可包含通訊網路中能夠從參考裝置120測量參考信號之任何其他網路裝置或已註冊裝置。The trusted
信令流程500類似於圖2之信令流程200,但目標裝置130在信令流程200中之角色係藉由可信賴裝置502來更換。具體而言,如圖示,該組參考裝置120為了定位目標裝置130之目的而傳送505相應參考信號。可信賴裝置502藉由從至少一個參考裝置120測量至少一個參考信號來確定510至少一個第一定位相關測量結果,以供定位該組參考裝置120中之至少一者。各參考裝置120之第一定位相關測量結果可類似於如上述之第一定位相關測量結果。The
可信賴裝置502可藉由第一裝置110來組配,以針對至少一個參考裝置120回報該(等)第一定位相關測量結果。第一裝置110可向可信賴裝置502傳送512測量組態資訊,用來指導可信賴裝置502回報第一定位相關測量結果。在接收514測量組態資訊後,可信賴裝置502可被組配用以針對至少一個參考裝置120測量並回報第一定位相關測量結果。The trusted

在從可信賴裝置502接收520第一定位相關測量結果後,第一裝置110確定525至少一個參考裝置120之至少一個估計位置,並且如果在至少一個估計位置與用於目標裝置130之有效參考裝置之該組位置之間發現一不匹配,則從至少一個參考裝置識別530一無效參考裝置。第一裝置110可施用與以上關於目標裝置130所論述類似之一方式,用來確定至少一個估計位置並識別無效參考裝置。After receiving 520 the first location-related measurement from the trusted
在一些例示性實施例中,第一裝置110可藉由施用與圖4之過程400類似之一反覆過程來驗證哪個(些)參考裝置120係一無效參考裝置。差異在於,在各輪反覆中,可不將可信賴裝置502之位置更新為目標裝置130於程序塊420之位置,因為第一裝置110知道可信賴裝置502之有效位置。如果排除不同之(一個)多個參考裝置120,則可變更參考裝置120之估計位置。In some illustrative embodiments,
在一些例示性實施例中,在第一裝置110已識別出一或多個無效參考裝置120之後,在一些例示性實施例中,第一裝置110亦可藉由向目標裝置130傳送535一指示來向目標裝置130通知無效參考裝置之目標裝置130,如信令流程200中。藉由從第一裝置110接收540該指示,目標裝置130可將無效參考裝置從定位相關測量、測量回報、及/或位置估計排除。 例示方法實施例 In some exemplary embodiments, after the
