载波聚合下, 终端工作的小区分为一个主小区 PCell ( Primary Cell ) 和若干个辅小区 SCell ( Second Cell ) , 主小区承担了大部分控制和信令 的工作,如发送对下行数据的上行反馈、 CQI ( Channel Quality Indicator, 信道质量指示)上报、 上行导频传输等, 辅小区主要是作为资源, 承担 数据传输的功能。
在载波聚合场景中, 由于不同载波可能存在不同传播环境(例如, 不同的频率, 或网络侧不共址导致传播环境不同), 因此同一个终端在 不同的载波上可能出现不同的上行定时提前量。
在载波聚合时, 也存在聚合的载波不共址的场景, 不同的载波上的 上行定时提前量不同。 如果不同的载波的信噪比不同或者测量带宽不 同, 对定位的测量精度也会有影响。
基于网络侧的终端位置定位技术包括 CELL— ID 定位技术和 TA+AOA定位技术。 CELL— ID定位方法是基于小区覆盖的定位方法, 采用已知的服务小区地理信息估计目标 UE的位置。 该服务小区信息可 以通过呼叫、寻呼、 TA( Tracking Area,跟踪区)更新等方式获得。 TA+AOA 定位方法在 CELL— ID 定位方法的基础上考虑了定时提前量(即 TA, Timing Advance ) 以及来波方向 (即 AOA, Angle of Arrival ) 的因素, 从而达到更精确的定位目的。
基站通过智能天线得到 UE发射信号的 AOA, UE处于以基站为起 点的射线上, 射线从正北方向逆时针旋转的角度为 AOA。 TA+AOA定 位技术的原理为: TA 的获得可以通过终端上报 UE接收和发送的时间 差, 加上基站测量到的接收和发送的时间差来计算(此方法计算得到的 TA称之为 TA TYPE1 ), 也可以通过专用随机接入过程由基站测量得到 (此方法计算得到的 TA称之为 TA TYPE2 )。 TA乘以光速除以 2, 表示 了 UE同基站之间的距离, 如图 1所示, UE就处于以基站为圓心、 终端 和基站距离为半径的圓周上, 根据 AOA的角度信息就可以获得终端的 位置。
使用 TA+AOA 方法进行终端定位主要涉及以下流程: 定位服务器 获得终端的测量能力, 并决定所需的测量量, 请求基站启动相关测量; 基站向定位服务器上报相关测量结果和位置信息, 定位服务器进行位置 计算。
在 TA typel中, 需要终端提供 UE Rx-Tx time difference (即 UE接 收和发送的时间差)的测量结果。该测量的精度要求如 36.133协议所示: 表 1、 UE Rx-Tx time difference测量精度要求 Paramet Unit Conditions (条件 ) er Downlin (单 Accurac Bands Bands Bands Band 26 Bands Bands c参数) k 位) y (精 1, 4, 6, 2, 5, 7, 25 3, 8, 12, 9, 42,

TA+AOA定位方法只应用于主服务小区, 是单小区的定位方法, 定 位的效果取决于该小区的测量效果。实际上 TA和 AOA的测量准确性会 受到环境, 信号强度, 干扰等因素的影响, 在不同的频率上多径效果可 能是不同的。 在信号质量差, 信噪比低以及小带宽的情况下, 测量的精 度也不高。 在引入多载波系统后, 终端可以同时工作在多小区下, 只能 在 Pcell ( Primary cell, 主小区)上进行 TA+AOA的定位。 在 Pcell上的 信道质量下降的情况下, 该测量的精度会变差。
针对上述 TA+AOA 定位技术存在的问题, 本申请实施例给出了多 载波聚合场景下, 根据终端的各服务小区的带宽, 和 /或, 信号接收质量 来选择执行 TA+AOA 的服务小区, 从而对终端进行定位的方法, 来提 升测量精度和定位精度。
下面以在支持多载波技术的 LTE-A Rel- 10系统中使用 TA TYPE 1进 行定位为例, 结合附图对本申请实施例进行详细描述。
实施例一
本实施例中, 基站在接收到定位服务器对目标终端的定位请求后, 在该目标终端的服务小区中选择一个适合进行定位相关测量的小区, 然 后启动终端在该小区进行定位相关测量, 并且该基站也在相应小区对该 目标终端进行定位相关测量; 基站接收到该目标终端上报的测量结果 后, 将该基站和该目标终端的定位相关测量结果发送给定位服务器进行 终端定位。
如图 2所示, 该流程可包括:
步骤 201: UE通过非接入层( Non-Access Stadium, NAS )消息向移 动性管理实体 ( Mobility Management Entity , ΜΜΕ )发起定位请求, 请 求获取自身的位置信息。 本步骤的一种可选实现方案是: 某个定位服务 的客户端( Location Services Client, LCS客户端 )向 MME发起定位请 求, 请求获取某个 UE的位置信息。
步骤 202: MME向演进服务移动定位中心( Evolved Serving Mobile Location Center, E-SMLC )发起定位请求。
步骤 203a~203b: E-SMLC查询并获取 UE的定位能力信息。
步骤 204a~204c: E-SMLC 获取演进节点 B, 也即基站 (evolved NodeB, eNB ) 的定位相关测量结果以及服务小区的信息。 该过程中, eNB在接收到 E-SMLC发送的 LPPa测量请求消息后(步 骤 204a ), 获得该目标 UE的信息, 判断其工作在多小区上, 获取目标 UE 所使用的聚合的服务小区, 从中选择一个适合进行定位相关测量的 小区, 并通过无线资源控制 (Radio Resource Control, RRC ) 测量控制 消息将测量配置信息发送给该 UE, 其中指示出 eNB所选择的小区, 以 启动该 UE 在该小区上测量 UE 的信号接收和发送的定时偏差 (UE Rx-Tx Time difference )和 AOA (步骤 205a ) , UE根据 eNB的指示进行 定位相关测量, 并通过 RRC 测量报告将测量结果上报给 eNB (步骤 205c )。 并且, eNB自身也在所选择出的小区对该 UE的 UE Rx-Tx Time difference和 AOA进行测量(步骤 205b )。
具体实施时, eNB 所选择的小区可以是目标 UE 的服务小区中的 Pcell, 也可以是 Scell。 优选的, eNB可选择目标 UE的服务小区中带宽 最宽的小区, 也可选择目标 UE的服务小区中信号传输质量最好的小区 (比如在 UE使用的聚合载波的带宽都比较宽,例如均为 20MHz的情况 下 ),还可选择目标 UE的带宽最宽的服务小区中信号传输质量最好的小 区。
其中, 信号传输质量可以是测量信号的接收质量。 信号传输质量可 使用参考信号接收质量( Reference Signal Receiving Quality, RSRQ )或 信噪比来衡量。 eNB可根据 UE已经上报的各个服务小区的 RSRQ或信 噪比来选择要执行定位测量的小区。
eNB在接收到 UE的 RRC测量报告后 (步骤 205c ), 根据 UE在选 择的小区所测量到的 UE Rx-Tx Time difference以及 eNB在选择的小区 所测量到的 UE Rx-Tx Time difference , 计算得到 TA TYPE 1。
步骤 206: E-SMLC根据 eNB上报的测量结果以及其它各方面输入, 计算出 UE的位置信息。 其中, eNB 上报给 E-SMLC 的测量结果中包括计算得到的 TA TYPE1 , 以及 UE和 eNB在所选择出的小区上测量到的 AOA。 E-SMLC 根据 eNB上报的 TA TYPEl , 以及 UE和 eNB测量到的 AOA对该 UE 进行定位。
步骤 207: E-SMLC将定位结果(位置信息)发给 MME。
步骤 208: MME将定位结果(位置信息)发给 UE或者 LCS客户 端。
进一步的, 步骤 204a中, E-SMLC可在发送给 eNB的 LPPa测量请 求消息中携带指示信息,以指示 eNB在信号传输质量最好的小区对目标 UE进行定位相关测量。 相应的, eNB从目标 UE的服务小区中选择信 号传输质量最好的小区, 并在该小区上对目标 UE进行定位相关测量, 并启动目标 UE在该小区上进行定位相关测量。
通过实施例一的上述流程可以看出, 在对目标终端进行定位的过程 中, 由于基站在目标终端的各服务小区中选择带宽最宽, 和 /或, 信号接 收质量最好的小区, 启动目标终端在该小区执行 TA+AOA测量, 并且 该基站也在相应小区执行 TA+AOA 测量, 以使定位服务器根据该测量 结果进行终端定位, 从而提高了终端定位的精度。
实施例二
本实施例中, 基站在接收到定位服务器对目标终端的定位请求后, 在该目标终端的服务小区中选择多个适合进行定位相关测量的小区, 然 后启动终端在该多个小区进行定位相关测量, 并且该基站也在相应小区 对该目标终端进行定位相关测量; 基站在接收到该目标终端上"¾的测量 结果后, 进一步从中选择适合定位测量的小区的测量结果, 然后将该基 站和目标终端在选择出的小区上的测量结果发送给定位服务器进行终 端定位。 如图 3所示, 该流程可包括:
步骤 301 : UE通过 NAS层消息向 MME发起定位请求, 请求获取 自身的位置信息。 本步骤的一种可选实现方案是: 某个 LCS 客户端向 MME发起定位请求, 请求获取某个 UE的位置信息。
步骤 302: MME向 E-SMLC发起定位请求。
步骤 303a~303b: E-SMLC查询并获取 UE的定位能力信息。
步骤 304a~304c: E-SMLC获取 eNB的相关测量结果以及服务小区 的信息。
该过程中, eNB在接收到 E-SMLC发送的 LPPa测量请求消息后(步 骤 304a ), 获得该目标 UE的信息, 判断其工作在多小区上, 获取目标 UE 所使用的聚合的服务小区, 从中选择适合进行定位相关测量的多个 小区, 并通过 RRC测量控制消息将测量配置信息发送给该 UE, 其中指 示出 eNB所选择的小区,以启动该 UE在这些小区上测量 UE Rx-Tx Time difference和 AOA(步骤 305a ), UE根据 eNB的指示进行定位相关测量, 并通过 RRC测量报告将测量结果上报给 eNB (步骤 305c )。 并且, eNB 自身也在所选择出的小区对该 UE的 UE Rx-Tx Time difference和 AOA 进行测量(步骤 305b )。
具体实施时, eNB 所选择的小区可以是目标 UE 的服务小区中的 Pcell和 Scell, 或选择多个 Scell。 优选的, eNB可选择目标 UE的服务 小区中带宽最宽 (在这样的小区有多个的情况下)或较宽的多个小区, 也可选择目标 UE的服务小区中信号传输质量最好的小区 (在这样的小 区有多个的情况下 ),也可选择目标 UE的服务小区中信号传输质量高于 设定门限值的服务小区 (在这样的小区有多个的情况下)。
其中, 信号传输质量可以是测量信号的接收质量。 信号传输质量可 使用 RSRQ或信噪比来衡量。 eNB可根据 UE已经上报的各个服务小区 的 RSRQ 或信噪比来选择要执行定位测量的小区。 比如, eNB 可根据 UE上报的各小区的信噪比是否大于预设门限(如 -3db )的指示信息, 获 知 UE的各服务小区的信噪比情况, 以作为小区选择操作的依据。例如, 该指示信息可以是 1101 , 表示对应小区的信噪比是否大于设定门限值, 即小区 0、 1和 3的信噪比大于设定门限值, 小区 2的信噪比小于设定 门限值。
eNB在接收到 UE的 RRC测量报告后(步骤 305c ), 进一步从中选 择一个小区的测量结果, 根据 UE在选择的小区所测量到的 UE Rx-Tx Time difference 以及 eNB 在选择的小区所测量到的 UE Rx-Tx Time difference , 计算得到 TA TYPE 1。
具体实施时, eNB可从 UE上报的各小区的定位相关测量结果中选 择适合进行定位测量的一个小区进行上报。 具体的, eNB可选择带宽最 宽的小区, 也可选择信号传输质量最好的小区, 还可选择目标 UE的带 宽最宽的小区中信号传输质量最好的小区。
步骤 306: E-SMLC根据 eNB上报的测量结果以及其它各方面输入, 计算出 UE的位置信息。
其中, eNB 上报给 E-SMLC 的测量结果中包括计算得到的 TA TYPE1 , 以及 UE和 eNB在所选择出的小区测量到的 AOA。 E-SMLC 根据 eNB上报的 TA TYPEl , 以及 UE和 eNB测量到的 AOA对该 UE 进行定位。
步骤 307: E-SMLC将定位结果(位置信息)发给 MME。
步骤 308: MME将定位结果(位置信息)发给 UE或者 LCS客户 端。
进一步的, 步骤 305a中, eNB可在发送给 UE的 RRC测量控制消 息中携带指示信息(此处称为第一指示信息), 以指示 UE上报其所测量 的小区的信号传输质量信息。 UE根据该指示信息对指定小区进行信号 传输质量的测量, 比如测量指定小区的 RSRQ或者对指定小区的信噪比 进行测量。 UE可将指定小区的信号传输质量信息通过 RRC测量 告发 送给 eNB,作为 eNB选择服务小区进行测量结果上报的依据。对于测量 得到的信号传输质量信息以及定位相关测量结果, UE 可以分开上报给 eNB, 也可以一起上报给 eNB, 如果分开上报, 则由基站自行根据两种 测量报告的内容进行处理。 进一步的, UE还可在 RRC测量报告中指明 所测的小区, 比如, 对应上报的测量结果携带相应的小区标识, 以标识 出是哪个小区的测量结果。
进一步的, 步骤 304a中, E-SMLC可在发送给 eNB的 LPPa测量请 求消息中携带指示信息 (此处称为第二指示信息), 以指示基站将信号 传输质量最好的小区的定位相关测量结果发送给 E-SMLC。
通过实施例二的上述流程可以看出, 在对目标终端进行定位的过程 中, 由于基站启动目标终端在多个小区执行 TA+AOA 测量, 并进一步 在目标终端上报的测量结果中选择带宽最宽, 和 /或, 信号接收质量最好 的小区的测量结果, 并将选择出的测量结果以及该基站在相应小区上的 测量结果上报给定位服务器, 以使定位服务器根据该测量结果进行终端 定位, 从而提高了终端定位的精度。
实施例三
本实施例中, 基站在接收到定位服务器对目标终端的定位请求后, 在该目标终端的服务小区中选择多个适合进行定位相关测量的小区, 然 后启动终端在该多个小区进行定位相关测量, 并且该基站也在相应小区 对该目标终端进行定位相关测量; 基站在接收到该目标终端上"¾的测量 结果后, 将该基站和目标终端在该多个小区上的测量结果发送给定位服 务器, 由定位服务器进一步选择合适的小区的测量结果进行终端定位。 如图 4所示, 该流程可包括:
步骤 401~404c: 与图 3所示流程中的步骤 301~304c基本相同, 不 同之处在于:
eNB在接收到 UE的 RRC测量报告后(步骤 405c ), 将该测量报告 中所携带的 UE在各小区的定位相关测量结果, 以及 eNB自身在相应小 区的定位相关测量结果, 通过 LPPa测量响应消息发送给 E-SMLC。
进一步的, eNB可在发送给 UE的 RRC测量控制消息中携带指示信 息,以指示 UE上报其所测量的小区的信号传输质量信息。 UE根据 eNB 的指示对相应小区的信号传输质量进行测量, 并将这些小区的信号传输 质量信息发送给 eNB (比如可通过 RRC 测量报告或新增消息发送给 eNB )。 eNB将这些小区的信号传输质量信息携带于 LPPa测量响应消息 发送给 E-SMLC , 也可通过新增加的消息发送给 E-SMLC , 以作为 E-SMLC选择服务小区进行定位计算的依据。
进一步的, UE还可在 RRC测量报告中指明所测的小区, 比如, 对应上 的测量结果携带相应的小区标识, 以标识出是哪个小区的测量 结果。
步骤 406: E-SMLC根据 eNB上报的测量结果以及其它各方面输入, 计算出 UE的位置信息。
该步骤中, E-SMLC接收到 eNB上报的测量结果后, 从中选择一个 小区的测量结果, 根据 UE在选择的小区所测量到的 UE Rx-Tx Time difference以及 eNB在选择的小区所测量到的 UE Rx-Tx Time difference, 计算得到 TA TYPE1 , 根据该 TA TYPE1 , 以及 UE和 eNB在选择的小 区所测量到的 AOA对该 UE进行定位。
优选的, E-SMLC可选择这些小区中带宽最宽的小区; 或者, 根据 eNB上报的各小区的信号传输质量信息, 选择这些小区中信号传输质量 最好的小区; 或者, 根据 eNB上报的各小区的信号传输质量信息, 选择 这些小区中带宽最宽的小区中信号传输质量最好的小区。 E-SMLC根据 选择出的小区的定位相关测量结果进行定位计算。
步骤 407: E-SMLC将定位结果(位置信息)发给 MME。
步骤 408: MME将定位结果(位置信息)发给 UE或者 LCS客户 端。
通过实施例三的上述流程可以看出, 在对目标终端进行定位的过程 中, 由于基站启动目标终端在多个小区执行 TA+AOA 测量, 并将多个 小区的测量结果上报给定位服务器, 使定位服务器从中选择适合定位测 量的小区的测量结果, 并进行终端定位, 从而提高了终端定位的精度。
实施例四
本实施例中, 基站在接收到定位服务器对目标终端的定位请求后, 启动终端在其所有服务小区进行定位相关测量, 并且该基站也在相应小 区对该目标终端进行定位相关测量; 基站在接收到该目标终端上>¾的测 量结果后, 从中选择适合定位测量的小区的测量结果, 然后将该基站和 目标终端在选择出的小区上的测量结果发送给定位服务器进行终端定 位。
如图 5所示, 该流程可包括:
步骤 501~504c: 与图 3所示流程中的 301~304c基本相同, 不同之 处在于:

当然, 基站在接收到定位服务器对目标终端的定位请求后, 也可以 启动终端在其部分服务小区进行定位相关测量。 这种情况下, 其终端定 位流程基本与图 5所示流程相同, 在此不再赘述。
通过实施例四的上述流程可以看出, 在对目标终端进行定位的过程 中, 由于基站启动目标终端在其所有服务小区执行 TA+AOA 测量, 并 进一步在目标终端上报的测量结果中选择带宽最宽, 和 /或, 信号接收质 量最好的小区的测量结果, 并将选择出的测量结果以及该基站在相应小 区上的测量结果上报给定位服务器, 以使定位服务器根据该测量结果进 行终端定位, 从而提高了终端定位的精度。

需要说明的是, 以上各实施例虽然是以使用 TA TYPE1进行定位为 例描述的, 但是针对 TA TYPE2也可基于相同的原理实现终端定位, 并 与现有 TA Type2方法相比可提高定位精度。 在使用 TA TYPE2方法时, 可以选择上行带宽大, 和 /或, 上行信噪比高的小区来执行 TA TYPE2测 量, 以提升测量精度和定位精度。
