Description
本發明係關於一種距離測量方法及系統,特別關於一種測量行動電話用戶之間距離之方法及行動通訊系統。 The present invention relates to a distance measuring method and system, and more particularly to a method and a mobile communication system for measuring the distance between mobile phone users.
行動電話藉由與蜂窩狀分佈之基地台(Base Transceiver Station,BTS)之間交互而實現通訊。如圖1所示,一種行動通訊系統100包括複數個基地台102,該等基地台102通常被設置成如蜂窩104之分佈形式。行動電話106被包圍在蜂窩104中,由圍成相應蜂窩104之基地台102來承擔與行動電話106進行交互之服務。當行動電話106由一個蜂窩移動到另一個蜂窩時,相應之服務亦由上一個基地台切換到圍成新蜂窩之基地台承擔。從而,藉由與基地台102之交互,行動電話106之間得以實現行動通訊。 The mobile phone communicates by interacting with a Base Transceiver Station (BTS). As shown in FIG. 1, a mobile communication system 100 includes a plurality of base stations 102 that are typically arranged in the form of a distribution of cells 104. The mobile phone 106 is enclosed in the cell 104, and the base station 102 enclosing the corresponding cell 104 assumes the service of interacting with the mobile phone 106. When the mobile phone 106 is moved from one cell to another, the corresponding service is also switched from the previous base station to the base station enclosing the new cell. Thus, by interacting with the base station 102, mobile communication is enabled between the mobile phones 106.
根據行動電話用戶所處之蜂窩以及圍成該蜂窩之基地台之位置,可以計算出該行動電話用戶所處之位置。如圖2所示,在該行動通訊系統200中,需定位之行動電話210之用戶發送一個定位指令,該指令被傳送到鄰近之三個基地台202、204、206,再藉由與基地台相連之基地台控制中心(Base Station Controller,BSC)傳送到行動交換機(Mobile Switching Center,MSC)。根據指令到達三個基地台之不同時間計算出時間差,而得到行動電話210與各基地台202、204、206之間之距離S1、S2、S3,由於各基地台之位置為已知固定的,行動電話210之位置便可以確定。 The location of the mobile phone user can be calculated based on the location of the cell in which the mobile phone user is located and the base station surrounding the cell. As shown in FIG. 2, in the mobile communication system 200, a user of the mobile phone 210 to be located transmits a positioning command, which is transmitted to the adjacent three base stations 202, 204, 206, and by using the base station. Connected base station control center (Base The Station Controller (BSC) is transmitted to the Mobile Switching Center (MSC). Calculating the time difference according to different times when the command arrives at the three base stations, and obtaining the distances S1, S2, and S3 between the mobile phone 210 and each of the base stations 202, 204, and 206, since the positions of the base stations are known to be fixed, The location of the mobile phone 210 can be determined.
然而,行動電話用戶往往不僅希望知道自身所處之位置,還希望知道自己與另外一個用戶之間之距離。 However, mobile phone users often not only want to know where they are, but also want to know the distance between themselves and another user.
有鑒於此,有必要提供一種可以測量行動電話用戶之間距離之方法。 In view of this, it is necessary to provide a method for measuring the distance between mobile phone users.

如圖3所示,一種較佳實施方式之行動通訊系統300包括複數個基地台(Base Transceiver Station,BTS)302、304 、306、308,處於該等基地台包圍中的行動電話310、320可與基地台之間進行通訊。基地台302、304、306、308圍成兩個相鄰之位置區,其中基地台304、306為行動電話310、320共同之服務基地台。 As shown in FIG. 3, a mobile communication system 300 of a preferred embodiment includes a plurality of Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) 302, 304. 306, 308, the mobile phones 310, 320 in the encirclement of the base stations can communicate with the base station. The base stations 302, 304, 306, 308 enclose two adjacent location areas, wherein the base stations 304, 306 are service base stations common to the mobile phones 310, 320.
在計算兩部行動電話310、320之間之距離時,將基地台304確定為基準基地台、基地台306確定為參考基地台。藉由基地台302、304、306可以實現行動電話310之定位,即當行動電話310發出定位之需求時,與基地台302、304、306相連之行動交換機(Mobile Switching Center,MSC)將根據該定位需求計算出該行動電話310與基準基地台304之間之距離L 1、與參考基地台306之間之距離L 2;同理,該行動交換機還可以計算出行動電話320與基準基地台304之間之距離L 3、與參考基地台306之間之距離L 4。 When calculating the distance between the two mobile phones 310, 320, the base station 304 is determined to be the reference base station, and the base station 306 is determined to be the reference base station. The location of the mobile phone 310 can be achieved by the base stations 302, 304, 306, that is, when the mobile phone 310 issues a positioning request, the Mobile Switching Center (MSC) connected to the base stations 302, 304, 306 will calculate the distance from the positioning requirements of the mobile phone 310 and the reference base station 304 L 1, the distance between the reference base station 306 L 2; Similarly, the operation switch may also be calculated by mobile phone 320 and the reference base station 304 The distance L 3 between the distance L 3 and the reference base station 306 is L 4 .
行動通訊服務提供商在設置基地台時,便已確定基準基地台304、參考基地台306之間之距離D 1,因而可以根據該距離D 1以及行動電話310與基準基地台304之間之距離L 1、與參考基地台306之間之距離L 2計算出行動電話310與參考基地台306相對於基準基地台304所成之角度θ 1,具體計算方法可採用餘弦定理,即:
同理,還可以計算出行動電話320與參考基地台306相對於基準基地台304所成之角度θ 2,即:
行動電話310及320相對於基準基地台304所成之角度為θ 1+θ 2,因而,行動電話310與行動電話320之間之距離X 1即可以由以下公式計算得到:
如圖4所示,另一較佳實施方式之行動通訊系統400包括複數個基地台402、404、406、408、410及412,行動電話420被包圍在基地台402、404及406圍成之位置區中,行動電話430被包圍在基地台408、410及412圍成之位置區中。由該等基地台所圍成之兩個位置區之位置不相鄰,因而行動電話420、430之間沒有共同之服務基地台。 As shown in FIG. 4, another preferred embodiment of the mobile communication system 400 includes a plurality of base stations 402, 404, 406, 408, 410, and 412 surrounded by base stations 402, 404, and 406. In the location area, the mobile telephone 430 is enclosed in a location area enclosed by the base stations 408, 410, and 412. The locations of the two location areas enclosed by the base stations are not adjacent, so there is no common service base station between the mobile phones 420, 430.
與前一實施方式中類似,在計算兩部行動電話420、430之間之距離時,將基地台402確定為基準基地台、基地台406確定為第一參考基地台、基地台408確定為第二參考基地台。藉由相鄰近之三個基地台402、404、406即可定位行動電話420 ,並得到其與基準基地台402之間的距離L 1',同時還可得到行動電話420、第一參考基地台406相對於基準基地台402所成之角度θ 1';同理,藉由相鄰之三個基地台408、410、412即可定位行動電話430,並得到其與第二參考基地台408之間之距離L 2'及行動電話430、基地台410相對於第二參考基地台408所成之角度θ 2'。 Similar to the previous embodiment, when calculating the distance between the two mobile phones 420, 430, the base station 402 is determined as the reference base station, the base station 406 is determined as the first reference base station, and the base station 408 is determined to be the first Second reference base station. The mobile phone 420 can be located by the adjacent three base stations 402, 404, 406, and the distance L 1 ' between the base station 402 and the reference base station 402 can be obtained, and the mobile phone 420 and the first reference base station can also be obtained. 406 is at an angle θ 1 ' with respect to the base base station 402. Similarly, the mobile phone 430 can be located by the adjacent three base stations 408, 410, 412, and obtained with the second reference base station 408. The distance L 2 'and the mobile phone 430 and the base station 410 are at an angle θ 2 ' with respect to the second reference base station 408.
行動通訊服務商在設置基地台時,即已確定基準基地台402與第二參考基地台408之間之距離D 1'、基準基地台402與基地台410相對於第二參考基地台408所成之角度θ 3、第一參考基地台406與第二參考基地台408相對於基準基地台402所成之角度θ 4,因而行動電話430與基準基地台402之間之距離L 3'可以根據以下公式來確定:
從而,在由基準基地台402、行動電話420、行動電話430構
成之三角形中應用餘弦定理可求得行動電話420與430之間之距離X 1',其可表示為:
如圖5所示,若在另一實施方式之行動通訊系統900中,兩部行動電話910、920處於由基地台902、904、906圍成之同一個網格中,則基地台902、904、906都分別是行動電話910、920之服務基地台。在此情況下,行動電話910、920之間之距離之計算方式與圖3所示之實施方式類似:確定基地台904為基準基地台、基地台906為參考基地台,從而,行動電話910、920之間的距離X 1"之計算式可以表示為:
由以上三種實施方式可見,實現兩部行動電話之間之距離測量均是藉由選取兩部行動電話之多個服務基地台中的其中一個作為基準基地台(例如圖3中的基地台304、圖4中的基地台402、圖5中的基地台904),以該基準基地台與兩部行動電話圍成之三角形進行計算,即可得到兩部行動電話之間之距離。 It can be seen from the above three implementation manners that the distance measurement between the two mobile phones is achieved by selecting one of the plurality of service base stations of the two mobile phones as the reference base station (for example, the base station 304 in FIG. 3, The base station 402 in FIG. 4 and the base station 904 in FIG. 5 are calculated by the reference base station and the triangle enclosed by the two mobile phones, so that the distance between the two mobile phones can be obtained.
然而,如果兩部行動電話所處之位置區之相對關係不同,其進行距離測量時計算之過程亦不同。如果兩部行動電話所處之位置區相鄰,兩部行動電話有至少兩個共同之服務基地台 (例如圖3中的基地台304、306,或圖5中的基地台904、906),則僅須選擇一個共同之服務基地台(例如圖3中的基地台304、圖5中的基地台904)作為上述基準基地台,另外再選擇一個共同之服務基地台(例如圖3中的306、圖5中的基地台906)作為參考基地台,由兩部行動電話相對於該兩個共同之服務基地台之定位訊息便可計算出兩部行動電話之間之距離。如果兩部行動電話所處之位置區不相鄰,兩部行動電話沒有共同之服務基地台,則須選取一個服務基地台(例如圖4中的基地台402)作為基準基地台,另外再選擇每部行動電話之服務基地台各一個作為參考基地台(例如圖4中的基地台406、408),根據兩部行動電話、兩個參考基地台、一個基準基地台之相對位置訊息計算出兩部行動電話之間之距離。 However, if the relative positions of the location areas of the two mobile phones are different, the process of calculating the distance is different. If the two mobile phones are located adjacent to each other, the two mobile phones have at least two common service base stations. (e.g., base stations 304, 306 in Figure 3, or base stations 904, 906 in Figure 5), then only one common serving base station (e.g., base station 304 in Figure 3, base station in Figure 5) 904) as the above reference base station, additionally selecting a common service base station (for example, 306 in FIG. 3, base station 906 in FIG. 5) as a reference base station, and the two mobile phones are in common with the two mobile phones. The location information of the service base station can calculate the distance between the two mobile phones. If the location areas of the two mobile phones are not adjacent, and the two mobile phones do not have a common service base station, then a service base station (such as base station 402 in Figure 4) must be selected as the reference base station. Each service base station of each mobile phone serves as a reference base station (for example, base station 406, 408 in FIG. 4), and calculates two relative position information based on two mobile phones, two reference base stations, and one reference base station. The distance between the mobile phones.
以下以圖4所示之行動通訊系統為例說明行動通訊系統進行距離測量之工作原理。當行動電話420提出與行動電話430進行距離測量之需求時,與請求行動電話(即行動電話420)所在區域之基地台相連之行動交換機(Mobile Switching Center,MSC)藉由被請求側之基地台控制中心(Base Station Controller,BSC)向被請求行動電話(即行動電話430)發出業務請求。行動電話430接收到該業務請求後,其用戶可依據實際情況給予該業務請求一個回應訊息,該回應訊息被發送到行動交換機。若行動電話430之回應訊息表明被請求行動電話430同意進行距離測量,則行動交換機根 據兩部行動電話420、430所在之區域訊息計算兩部行動電話之位置,進一步根據兩部行動電話之位置訊息來計算兩部行動電話之間之距離,並將所計算得到的距離藉由基地台控制中心發送到請求行動電話420,從而完成一次服務。若行動電話430之回應訊息表明被請求行動電話430不同意進行距離測量,則基地台控制中心BSC藉由行動交換機MSC向請求行動電話420發送拒絕訊息。 The following is an example of the mobile communication system shown in FIG. 4, which illustrates the working principle of the distance measurement by the mobile communication system. When the mobile phone 420 proposes a distance measurement with the mobile phone 430, the Mobile Switching Center (MSC) connected to the base station in the area where the mobile phone (ie, the mobile phone 420) is located is requested by the base station on the requested side. The Base Station Controller (BSC) sends a service request to the requested mobile phone (i.e., mobile phone 430). After receiving the service request, the mobile phone 430 can request the service to send a response message according to the actual situation, and the response message is sent to the mobile switch. If the response message of the mobile phone 430 indicates that the requested mobile phone 430 agrees to perform the distance measurement, the mobile switch root Calculate the location of the two mobile phones based on the regional information of the two mobile phones 420 and 430, and further calculate the distance between the two mobile phones based on the location information of the two mobile phones, and calculate the calculated distance by the base. The station control center sends a request to the mobile phone 420 to complete a service. If the response message of the mobile phone 430 indicates that the requested mobile phone 430 does not agree to perform the distance measurement, the base station control center BSC sends a reject message to the requesting mobile phone 420 via the mobile exchange MSC.
