Description

用于终端设备的定位方法、装置及系统

技术领域
本申请涉及定位技术领域，尤其涉及通信系统中终端设备的定位技术。
背景技术
随着通信技术的发展和移动设备越来越高的普及，人们对自身位置的定位服务需求日益激增。基于移动通信网络的定位技术得到飞速发展，无论是在人们的日常出行、交通工具定位导航，还是无线资源分配和整合、国家信息安全等方面都有着举足轻重的地位。当前3GPP协议中，无线通信系统中的用户定位是利用基站和/或终端检测到的无线信号观测量来进行定位解算，主要的定位技术包括：(1)距离定位：利用终端与两个或多个基站之间的距离(TOA)进行定位解算；(2)角度定位：利用终端和两个或多个基站之间的角度(AOA)进行定位解算。现有的技术采用的TOA和AOA均为在视线传输(Line of Sight，简称为LOS)环境下的观测量，并未考虑非视线传输(Not Line of Sight，简称为NLOS)环境。
现有的定位方法是基于多个基站和一个终端之间的定位测量信息检测，对网络同步性要求较高，定位精度依赖于信道的传输状态，因此定位精度受到环境影响较大。随着大带宽通信和Massive MIMO技术在未来5G系统中的使用，NLOS环境下的多径反射分量(TOA和AOA)可以被检测和区分出来。但目前对于避免多基站对时间和数据同步要求严格的问题，如何具体实现基于单基站的定位测量，在实现时网络中的设备将发生怎样的动作，仍无具体定义和方案。因此，需要有一种定位所需交互流程方案，实现终端设备的定位。

具体实施方式
为使本申请解决的技术问题、采用的技术方案和达到的技术效果更加清楚，下面将以实施例的形式结合附图对本申请的技术方案作进一步详细的描述。所述详细的描述通过使用方框图、流程图、示例中的一种或多种提出了设备和过程的各种实施例。由于这些方框图、流程图或示例包含一个或多个功能和/或操作，所以本领域技术人员将理解可以通过许多硬件、软件、固件或它们的任意组合单独或共同实施这些方框图、流程图或示例内的每个功能和/或操作。
本申请中“多个”是指两个或两个以上。本申请中的术语“和/或”，仅仅是一种描述关联对象的关联关系，表示可以存在三种关系，例如，A和/或B，可以表示：单独存在A，同时存在A和B，单独存在B这三种情况。另外，本文中字符“/”，一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。本申请中的术语“第一”、“第二”、“第三”、“第四”等是为了区分不同的对象，并不限定该不同对象的顺序。
本申请中，名词“网络”和“系统”经常交替使用，但本领域的技术人员可以理解其含义。本申请所提及的所有“终端”/“终端设备”，在一些情况下可以是指移动设备，例如移动电话、个人数字助理、手持或膝上型计算机以及具有电信能力的类似设备，有些情况下还可以是穿戴设备或车载设备等，并包括未来5G网络中的终端或者未来演进的公共陆地移动网络(Public Land Mobile Network，简称为PLMN)中的终端等。这种终端可以包括设备及其相关联的可移除存储模块(例如但不限于:包括订户标识模块(Subscriber Identification Module，简称为SIM)应用、通用订户标识模块(Universal Subscriber Identification Module，简称为USIM)应用或可移除用户标识模块(Removable User Identity Module，简称为R-UIM)应用的通用集成电路卡(Universal Integrated Circuit Card，简称为UICC)))。备选地，这种终端可以包括没有这种模块的设备本身。在其它情况下，术语“终端”/“终端设备”可以是指具有类似能力但是不可携带的设备，例如，台式计算机、机顶盒或网络设备。术语“终端”/“终端设备”还可以是指可端接用户的通信会话的任何硬件或软件组件。此外，“用户终端”、“User Equipment”、“UE”、“站点”、“station”、“STA”、“用户设备”、“用户代理”、“User Agent”、“UA”、“用户装备”、“移动设备”和“设备”等皆是与本文中“终端”/“终端设备”同义的替代术语。为方便描述，本申请中，上面提到的设备统称为用户设备或UE。
本申请中提及的“接入节点”，是一种网络设备，部署在无线接入网中用以为终端设备提供无线通信功能的装置。所述接入节点可以包括各种形式的宏基站、微基站、中继站、接入点等等，包括作为对传统无线电信系统中的对等设备改进的系统和设备。这 种高级或下一代设备可以包含在长期演进LTE通信系统、5G通信系统、未来演进系统或者多种通信融合系统中，例如，LTE系统中包括的演进通用陆地无线接入网节点B(E-UTRAN Node B，简称为eNB)、5G包括的新无线接入网节点B(New Radio Access NodeB，简称为NR NodeB)、其他无线接入点或类似组件，在采用不同的无线接入技术的系统中，具备接入节点功能的设备名称可能会有所不同。为方便描述，本申请中，上述为UE提供无线通信功能的装置统称为接入节点。
本申请中，术语“定位服务功能实体”是指为UE提供定位服务的功能实体，其可以是独立于接入节点设置的服务功能实体或高层服务功能实体，也可以是设置于接入节点上的服务功能实体，只要实现相关功能的实体，皆属于“定位服务功能实体”的范畴。在不同系统中、不同的设置位置上，具备定位服务功能实体功能的实体名称可能会有所不同，例如“定位业务服务中心”、“增强服务移动定位中心(Enhanced Serving Mobile Location Centre，简称为E-SMLC)”等。为方便描述，本申请中，上述为UE提供定位服务的实体统称为定位服务功能实体。
图1a给出了本申请涉及的一种网络系统架构，该系统用于UE的定位，其包括UE100、接入节点200、定位服务功能实体300和反射体400。图1a所示的系统中，为方便功能描述的划分，定位服务功能实体300与接入节点200给出了分离设置的示意，但这并非对其关系的限制，接入节点200上可以配置定位服务功能，定位服务功能实体300也可以设置于接入节点200上。在电磁波传播的环境中，有建筑物、自然景观等对电磁波传播产生影响的障碍物，这些障碍物统称为反射体400，其也可以成为散射体，因此如图1a所示，UE100收到的电磁波可以分为两类路径，一类是与UE100附近接入节点200对应的主径(接入节点200直接到UE100的路径)，另一类是与反射体400对应的至少一条反射径(接入节点200到反射体400，再由反射体400到UE100的路径)。本申请中，对UE100定位的系统中，接入节点200为用于UE100定位的单接入节点，但需说明的是，接入节点200不一定是UE100已经接入的接入节点200。本申请的定位测量是针对单接入节点的多径定位测量，包括针对主径和至少一条反射径的定位测量，或，针对至少两条反射径的定位测量；其中，定位测量，可以涉及用于距离定位的到达时间TOA的测量，也可以涉及用于角度定位的到达角度AOA的测量。对于达到角度AOA，可参见图1b和图1c给出的不同定位测量场景下的AOA示意图，图1b给出了涉及主径和反射径的到达角度AOA的示意图，图1c给出了涉及至少两条反射径的到达角度AOA的示意图，如图1b所示，圆圈代表UE位置，方块代表接入节点位置，三角形为反射体位置。接入节点发射信号，UE接收信号。接入节点发出的部分信号在空中直接传递至UE，该传播路径为直射径，即主径；部分信号经过反射体反射后被UE接收，此路径为反射径。以UE为坐标原点，接收到的直射径角度为θ 0，即主径AOA；接收到的反射径角度为θ 1，即反射径AOA。图1c中，圆圈代表UE位置，方块代表接入节点位置，三角形为反射体位置。接入节点发射信号，UE接收信号。接入节点发出的信号由于某些障碍物遮挡没有直接传递至UE，部分信号经过反射体1反射后被UE接收，此路径为反射径1；部分信号经过反射体2反射后被UE接收，此路径为反射径2。以UE为坐标原点，接收到的反射径1角度为θ 1，即反射径1的AOA；接收到的反射径角度为θ 2，即反射径2的AOA。图1b和图1c给出的是接入节点到UE的信号路径对应的AOA的示意图，UE到接入节点的达到角度与此类似，不再重复解释。
图1a中给出了UE100执行定位测量的下行方向上的信号示意图，其并非对本申请的限制，仅是一种场景的示意，定位测量可以单由UE100执行，也可以单由接入节点200执行，还可以由UE100和接入节点200共同执行。在由UE100执行定位测量的场景下，UE100通过接收下行方向上的基于单接入节点200的定位参考信号，采用多天线技术，检测同一信号的不同到达角度(Angle of Arrival，简称为AOA)和/或达到时间(Time of Arrival，简称为TOA)，得到多径AOA和/或TOA的测量值；在由接入节点200执行定位测量的场景下，单接入节点200通过接收上行方向上的待定位UE100发来的定位参考信号，采用多天线技术，检测同一信号的不同到达角度和/或达到时间，得到多径AOA和/或TOA的测量值；在由UE100和接入节点200共同执行定位测量的场景下，UE100和接入节点200分别获得下行方向和上行方向上测量的多径AOA和/或TOA的测量值。
UE100和/或接入节点200向定位服务功能实体300报告多径AOA和/或TOA的测量值(UE100与定位服务功能实体300之间通过接入节点200进行通信连接)。定位服务功能实体300获得UE100和/或接入节点200报告的多径AOA和/或TOA的测量值后，能够对UE100的位置进行估计，从而对实现UE100的定位。需要说明的是，如果反射体400的位置已知，那么位置估计的计算结果会更精确。
需要说明的是，图1a所示的仅是本申请所涉及的一种网络系统架构的示例，本申请并不局限于此。类似的，本申请还可以在IEEE802.11的系统中应用，通过利用基于单接入点(Access Point，简称为AP)的多径测量信息，提高室内无线保真(Wireless Fidelity，简称为WiFi)的定位精度。
实施例一
根据本申请的实施例，图2为本申请提供的一种终端设备的定位方法的第一个实施例的流程图。为了便于方案理解，在描述时，本实施例及后续实施例皆从交互多方的角度进行整体描述，但绝非限定系统中交互各侧的步骤必须合在一起执行，本申请提出的技术方案，在系统中每一侧均有改进。
该方法包括：
S101.UE获得基于单接入节点的多径定位测量信息。
UE获得定位测量信息，可以是从能够进行定位测量的实体获得，也可以是UE直接进行定位测量获得，具体的，定位测量为根据单接入节点发来的定位参考信号进行的基于所述单接入节点的多径定位测量，定位测量信息即为基于所述单接入节点的多径定位测量的测量结果信息。
基于单接入节点的定位测量中，需结合多径定位测量来实现，多径包括与单接入节点对应的主径，和与反射体对应的至少一条反射径；或者与反射体对应的至少两条反射径，反射体在系统中有至少两个。但需说明的是，其中，如果涉及多反射径的情况，多反射径包括多个反射体分别对应的反射径，也包括多次测量中，一个反射体对应的多次反射径；另外单接入节点不一定是UE已经接入的接入节点，其可以是UE附近的接入节点，用于UE定位。UE可采用多天线技术，检测同一信号(下行定位参考信号)的AOA和/或TOA，得到多径AOA和/或TOA的测量值。
可选的，可以通过以下方式确定TOA、AOA：
(a)、对于TOA测量值估计，假设定位参考信号在单接入节点和UE之间的传播时间为t prop，那么信号的传播距离L＝c*t prop，其中c表示光速。UE接收时间戳可以表示为：
t＝t ms+t prop+ε sync
其中t ms表示单接入节点发送定位参考信号的时间戳，t prop表示所述信号的传播时间，ε sync为UE和单接入节点的时间同步误差。基于该估计方式，通过检测同一所述信号的不同到达时间得到多径TOA的测量值。
(b)、对于AOA测量值估计，定位参考信号到UE入射角度AOA可以表示为：
Figure PCTCN2018123374-appb-000001
其中，[x BS,y BS]和[x UE,y UE]分别为单接入节点和UE的坐标，ε AOA为测量噪声。基于该估计方式，通过检测同一所述信号的不同到达角度得到多径AOA的测量值。
可选的，UE获得定位测量信息可以周期性进行获得操作，也可以根据定位服务功能实体发来的请求或接入节点发送定位参考信号的触发来进行获得操作。
S102.UE发送基于单接入节点的多径定位测量信息给定位服务功能实体，定位服务功能实体接收该定位测量信息。
通过UE与定位服务功能实体之间的信令交互，UE向定位服务功能实体发送携带定位测量信息的消息，使得定位服务功能实体获得基于单接入节点的多径定位测量的测量结果信息。可选的，在不同系统中，UE可通过不同消息携带该基于单接入节点的多径定位测量信息，如，在LTE系统中，可以通过LTE定位协议(LTE Positioning Protocol，简称为LPP)实现目标设备(UE)与定位服务功能实体之间的点到点的双向传递，LPP协议包括定位信息(Location Information)传递，因此可以在LPP消息中携带所述定位测量信息。需要说明的是，这里“定位信息(Location Information)”既可以表示UE的实际位置估计，也可以表示用于定位计算的测量数据(如，TOA、AOA测量)；以上仅为举例，也可以在LTE系统中的其他消息中携带上述定位测量信息，或者在未来5G网络中的终端或者未来演进的公共陆地移动网络(Public Land Mobile Network，简称为PLMN)中，通过其他消息携带上述定位测量信息。
可选的，UE向定位服务功能实体发送定位测量信息可以周期性进行发送操作，也可以根据定位服务功能实体发来的请求或接入节点发送定位参考信号的触发来进行发送操作。
S103.定位服务功能实体基于收到的定位测量信息，对UE的位置进行估计，实现定位。
在上述多径定位测量针对不同多径情况的考虑，定位服务功能实体可选的，可通过以下方式进行位置估计：
(方案a).针对多径包括主径加至少一条反射径，可以包括以下处理步骤：
根据主径TOA和AOA测量值及已知单接入节点的位置初步估计UE位置，获得第一UE位置；
根据所述第一UE位置、接入节点位置和反射径TOA和AOA测量值估计反射体位置；其中，考虑的反射体有至少一个，当针对多于一个反射体的情况，则针对多个反射体分别进行各反射体的位置估计；
重复进行反射体位置估计，得到预定次数反射体位置估计，将预定次数反射体位置估计取平均值确定最终反射体估计位置，这样提高了反射体位置估计的精度；其中，针对多于一个反射体的情况，分别进行各反射体的位置重复估计，获得各反射体的最终估计位置。
根据所述最终反射体估计位置、接入节点位置、主径TOA和AOA进行UE位置第二次估计，确定UE位置；其中，如果反射体多于一个，则针对多个反射体分别进行UE位置的第二次估计，最后根据这些估计结果，最终确定UE的位置。
以上方案是针对反射体位置是未知的情况，需要进行反射体位置的估计，如果系统中反射体位置已知，则UE定位精度会更加提高。如果反射体位置已知，那么处理流程中反射体位置估计的相关处理可以免去，可直接利用已知的反射体位置和主径TOA和AOA进行UE位置的估计，确定UE位置。
(方案b).针对多径包括至少两条反射径(至少两个反射体的反射径)，可以包括以下处理步骤：
根据至少两个反射体对应的反射径TOA和AOA测量值初步估计UE位置和反射体位置；其中，具体地，该步骤包括：根据至少两条反射径，获得反射径的时间差值；基于所述时间差值、至少两条反射径对应的TOA和AOA和接入节点的位置，获得UE位置和至少两个反射体的位置估计值；
针对所述至少两个反射体，重复进行反射体位置估计，得到预定次数反射体位置估计值，将预定次数反射体位置估计值取平均值确定最终反射体估计位置；其中，这样多次估计取平均的做法提高了反射体位置估计的精度；
根据接入节点位置、至少两个反射体的所述最终反射体估计位置和至少两个反射体对应的反射径TOA和AOA测量值进行UE位置第二次估计，确定UE位置。
以上方案是针对反射体位置是未知的情况，需要进行反射体位置的估计，如果系统中反射体位置已知，则UE定位精度会更加提高。如果至少两个反射体位置已知，那么处理流程中反射体位置估计的相关处理可以免去，可直接利用至少两个反射体的位置和至少两个反射体对应的反射径TOA和AOA测量值进行UE位置估计。
需要说明的是，以上方案a和b中，一次测量过程中，一个反射体对应一个反射径，UE在运动过程中(当然UE也可以是静止的)，定位参考信号会多次发送，从而可以进行多次测量，多次反射体的位置估计是针对每个反射体的，对各反射体而言，利用针对该反射体的多次测量值取平均提高该反射体的估计精度。
本申请实施例的一种终端设备的定位方法，通过UE把基于单接入节点的多径测量信息报告定位服务功能实体的交互流程，实现了对UE的精确定位，避免了多基站对时间和数据同步要求严格的问题。
实施例二
图3为本申请提供的一种终端设备的定位方法的第二个实施例的流程图。本实施例与实施例一的区别在于，该实施例中，增加了接入节点与其他对象之间的交互流程，与 实施例一相同或类似的内容在本实施例中不再赘述。
该方法包括：
S201.定位服务功能实体向UE发送位置信息请求。
该交互流程为可选的，因为在对UE进行定位的流程中，可选的，可以由UE周期性上报进行，也可以由定位服务功能实体向UE发送位置信息请求进行触发，定位服务功能实体向UE发送位置信息请求，指示UE发送定位测量信息，可以按需触发，减少了UE频繁报告定位测量信息带来的开销。其中，该位置信息请求，在不同系统中可以携带在不同的消息中，例如，在LTE系统中可以携带在LPP消息中发送，也可以携带在其他消息中发送。
S202.定位服务功能实体向接入节点发送指示接入节点传输定位参考信号的指示信息。
定位服务功能实体可以选择UE附近的一接入节点，向其发送指令，指示该接入节点发送定位参考信号用来进行UE定位。可选的，所述指令可以携带在LTE定位协议附件(LTE Positioning Protocol Annex，简称为LPPa)消息中发送，此处仅为举例，也可以在LTE系统中的其他消息中携带所述指令，或者在未来5G网络中的终端或者未来演进的公共陆地移动网络(Public Land Mobile Network，简称为PLMN)中，通过其他消息携带所述指令。
S203.接入节点向UE发送定位参考信号。
可选的，定位参考信号可以是专门用于定位的参考信号，也可以是现有的信号，如PRS和CRS。可选的，接入节点向UE发送定位参考信号，可以是向UE侧完成定位测量的实体发送，该实体可与UE分体设置。
S204.UE获得基于单接入节点的多径定位测量信息。
可以参考实施例一步骤S101，在此不再赘述，当然不申请不限于此。
S205.UE发送基于单接入节点的多径定位测量信息给定位服务功能实体，定位服务功能实体接收该定位测量信息。
可以参考实施例一步骤S102，在此不再赘述，当然不申请不限于此。
S206.定位服务功能实体基于收到的定位测量信息，对UE的位置进行估计，实现定位。
可以参考实施例一步骤S103，在此不再赘述，当然不申请不限于此。
本申请实施例的一种终端设备的定位方法，通过定位服务功能实体指示接入节点传输定位参考信号，使得UE把基于单接入节点的多径测量信息报告定位服务功能实体的交互流程，实现了对UE的精确定位，避免了多基站对时间和数据同步要求严格的问题。
对于以上进行终端设备定位的实施例，如果在系统中，UE均支持基于单接入节点的多径定位测量，能够识别基于单接入节点的多径测量信息，那么定位服务功能实体可以选择默认所有UE具有支持基于单接入节点的多径定位测量的能力。如果在系统中，并非默认所有UE具有支持基于单接入节点的多径定位测量的能力，那么定位服务功能实体需确定UE所支持的定位测量的能力，以确定是否采用基于单接入节点的多径定位测量方式对UE进行定位。定位服务功能实体确定UE所支持的定位测量的能力，可以通过UE报告来获知UE所支持的能力，确定UE是否支持基于单接入节点的多径定位测量，可 选的，如果UE能力固定，还可以通过第三方(如，设备能力寄存功能实体)获得UE所支持的能力，下面通过具体交互流程进行描述。
图4为本申请中确定终端设备支持的定位测量能力的交互流程示意图。如图4所示，确定UE所支持的定位测量能力，包括以下步骤：
S301.定位服务功能实体向UE/第三方发送UE的能力请求。
该步骤为可选步骤，可以理解的，定位服务功能实体确定UE所支持的定位测量能力，可以在需要时通过发送能力请求，指示UE/第三方反馈，也可以由UE/第三方周期性地报告来确定。通过定位服务功能实体发送能力请求，可以按需触发UE/第三方反馈，减少了UE/第三方频繁报告带来的开销。
如果该能力请求是发给UE，可选的，可以携带在LPP消息中发送，LPP协议包含定位能力(Positioning Capabilities)交互；此处仅为举例，也可以在LTE系统中的其他消息中携带该请求，或者在未来5G网络中的终端或者未来演进的公共陆地移动网络(Public Land Mobile Network，简称为PLMN)中，通过其他消息携带该请求。
需要说明的是，以下步骤S302和S303并非流程中的先后步骤，其二者是UE具备定位测量能力在不同情况下的两种处理方式。
S302.UE/第三方向定位服务功能实体反馈UE所支持的能力，其中指示UE支持基于单接入节点的多径测量。
UE/第三方可以通过在向定位服务功能实体反馈的消息中特定的字段或者某些比特位等方式来指示UE是否支持某些能力，可选的，如系统存在多种定位测量方式，则在这些定位方式对应的指示位，通过0、1等取值信息来指示UE是否支持这种能力。
可选的，对于UE而言，如果具备检测并区分单接入节点的多径测量信息的能力，则在接收到上述请求后，以LPP消息携带为例，在LPP相关的能力信息中增加1比特信息，如多组件标识(Multiple Components Identificaiton,简称为MPC Identificaiton)，MPC Identificaiton＝ON(＝1)表示UE能够识别单接入节点的多径测量信息。此举例，并非对本申请的限制，也可通过MPC Identificaiton＝ON(＝0)或其他方式来指示UE支持该能力，也可通过其他消息携带该指示信息。
S303.UE/第三方向定位服务功能实体反馈UE所支持的能力，其中指示UE不支持基于单接入节点的多径测量。
UE/第三方可以通过在向定位服务功能实体反馈的消息中特定的字段或者某些比特位等方式来指示UE是否支持某些能力，可选的，如系统存在多种定位测量方式，则在这些定位方式对应的指示位，通过0、1等取值信息来指示UE是否支持这种能力。
可选的，对于UE而言，如果不具备检测并区分单接入节点的多径测量信息的能力，则在接收到上述请求后，以LPP消息携带为例，在LPP相关的能力信息中增加1比特信息，如MPC Identificaiton＝OFF(＝0)表示UE不能够识别单接入节点的多径测量信息。此举例，并非对本申请的限制，也可通过MPC Identificaiton＝ON(＝1)或其他方式来指示UE不支持该能力，也可通过其他消息携带该指示信息。
S304.定位服务功能实体根据接收到的UE能力反馈信息，确定UE的能力。
定位服务功能实体能够根据UE能力反馈信息，确定UE是否支持基于单接入节点的多径定位测量，进而确定是否采用该方式实现UE的位置估计。在确认UE支持该方式时，则可以结合上述实施例一和实施例二的方式实现UE的位置估计。
该设计能够使得定位服务功能实体确定UE所能支持的定位测量方式，从而有效实现定位。
实施例三
根据本申请的实施例，图5为本申请提供的另一种终端设备的定位方法的第一个实施例的流程图。为了便于方案理解，在描述时，本实施例及后续实施例皆从交互多方的角度进行整体描述，但绝非限定系统中交互各侧的步骤必须合在一起执行，本申请提出的技术方案，在系统中每一侧均有改进。
该方法包括：

该接入节点为单一接入节点，该接入节点获得定位测量信息，可以是从能够进行定位测量的实体(如，可与接入节点分离设置的测量单元)获得，也可以是接入节点直接进行定位测量获得，具体的，定位测量为根据待定位的UE发来的定位参考信号进行的基于所述单接入节点的多径定位测量，定位测量信息即为基于所述单接入节点的多径定位测量的测量结果信息。
基于单接入节点的定位测量中，需结合多径定位测量来实现，多径包括UE与单接入节点之间的主径，和接入节点与反射体之间的至少一条反射径；或者与反射体对应的至少两条反射径，反射体在系统中有至少一个。但需说明的是，其中，如果涉及多反射径的情况，多反射径包括多个反射体分别对应的反射径，也包括多次测量中，一个反射体对应的多次反射径；另外该接入节点不一定是待定位UE已经接入的接入节点，其可以是UE附近的接入节点，用于UE定位。该接入节点可采用多天线技术，检测同一信号(上行定位参考信号)的AOA和/或TOA，得到多径AOA和/或TOA的测量值。其中，TOA、AOA的测量估计方式可选用与实施例一中例举的类似方式，在此不再赘述。

通过接入节点与定位服务功能实体之间的信令交互，接入节点向定位服务功能实体发送携带UE定位测量信息的消息，使得定位服务功能实体获得基于单接入节点对UE进行的多径定位测量的测量结果信息。可选的，在不同系统中，接入节点可通过不同消息携带该基于单接入节点的多径定位测量信息，如，在LTE系统中，可以通过LTE定位协议附件(LTE Positioning Protocol，简称为LPPa)实现接入节点与定位服务功能实体之间的点到点的双向传递，LPPa协议包括定位信息(Location Information)传递，因此可以在LPPa消息中携带所述定位测量信息。需要说明的是，这里“定位信息(Location Information)”既可以表示UE的实际位置估计，也可以表示用于定位计算的测量数据(如，TOA和AOA测量)；以上仅为举例，也可以在LTE系统中的其他消息中携带上述定位测量信息，或者在未来5G网络中的终端或者未来演进的公共陆地移动网络(Public Land Mobile Network，简称为PLMN)中，通过其他消息携带上述定位测量信息。
可选的，接入节点向定位服务功能实体发送定位测量信息可以周期性进行发送操作，也可以根据定位服务功能实体发来的请求或UE发送定位参考信号的触发来进行发送操作。
S403.定位服务功能实体基于收到的定位测量信息，对UE的位置进行估计，实现定位。
其中，对UE进行位置估计的方式可选用与实施例一中例举的类似方式，在此不再赘述。

该方法包括：
S501.定位服务功能实体向接入节点发送位置信息请求。
该交互流程为可选的，因为在对UE进行定位的流程中，可选的，可以由接入节点周期性上报进行，也可以由定位服务功能实体向接入节点发送位置信息请求进行触发，定位服务功能实体向接入节点发送位置信息请求，指示接入节点发送定位测量信息，可以按需触发，减少了接入节点频繁报告定位测量信息带来的开销。其中，该位置信息请求，可以携带在LPPa消息中发送；此处仅为举例，也可以在LTE系统中的其他消息中携带该请求，或者在未来5G网络中的终端或者未来演进的公共陆地移动网络(Public Land Mobile Network，简称为PLMN)中，通过其他消息携带该请求。
S502.定位服务功能实体向UE发送指示UE传输定位参考信号的指示信息。
定位服务功能实体向待定位的UE发送指令，指示该UE发送定位参考信号用来进行定位。可选的，所述指令可以携带在LTE定位协议(LTE Positioning Protocol，简称为LPP)消息中发送；此处仅为举例，也可以在LTE系统中的其他消息中携带该指令，或者在未来5G网络中的终端或者未来演进的公共陆地移动网络(Public Land Mobile Network，简称为PLMN)中，通过其他消息携带该指令。
S503.UE向接入节点发送定位参考信号。
UE向其附近的接入节点发送定位参考信号，可选的，定位参考信号可以是专门用于定位的参考信号，也可以是现有的信号，如PRS和CRS。可选的，UE向接入节点发送定位参考信号，可以是向接入节点侧完成定位测量的实体(如，与接入节点分离设置的测量单元)发送。

对于以上进行终端设备定位的实施例，如果在系统中，接入节点均支持基于单接入节点的多径定位测量，能够识别基于单接入节点的多径测量信息，那么定位服务功能实体可以选择默认所有接入节点具有支持基于单接入节点的多径定位测量的能力。如果在系统中，并非默认所有接入节点具有支持基于单接入节点的多径定位测量的能力，那么在上述定位测量的交互流程之前，定位服务功能实体需确定接入节点所支持的定位测量的能力，以确定是否使用该接入节点采用基于单接入节点的多径定位测量方式对UE进行定位。定位服务功能实体确定接入节点所支持的定位测量的能力，可以通过接入节点报告来获知接入节点所支持的能力，确定接入节点是否支持基于单接入节点的多径定位测量，可选的，如果接入节点能力固定，还可以通过第三方(如，设备能力寄存功能实体)获得接入节点所支持的能力，下面通过具体交互流程进行描述。
图7为本申请中确定接入节点支持的定位测量能力的交互流程示意图。如图7所示，确定接入节点所支持的定位测量能力，包括以下步骤：
S601.定位服务功能实体向接入节点/第三方发送接入节点的能力请求。
该步骤为可选步骤，可以理解的，定位服务功能实体确定接入节点所支持的定位测量能力，可以在需要时通过发送能力请求，指示接入节点/第三方反馈，也可以由接入节点/第三方周期性地报告来确定。通过定位服务功能实体发送能力请求，可以按需触发接入节点/第三方反馈，减少了接入节点/第三方频繁报告带来的开销。
如果该能力请求是发给接入节点，可选的，可以携带在LPPa消息中发送，LPPa协议包含定位能力(Positioning Capabilities)交互；此处仅为举例，也可以在LTE系统中的其他消息中携带该请求，或者在未来5G网络中的终端或者未来演进的公共陆地移动网络(Public Land Mobile Network，简称为PLMN)中，通过其他消息携带该请求。
需要说明的是，以下步骤S602和S603并非流程中的先后步骤，其二者是接入节点具备定位测量能力在不同情况下的两种处理方式。
S602.接入节点/第三方向定位服务功能实体反馈接入节点所支持的能力，其中指示接入节点支持基于单接入节点的多径测量。

可选的，对于接入节点而言，如果具备检测并区分单接入节点的多径测量信息的能力，则在接收到上述请求后，在LPPa相关的能力信息中增加1比特信息，如多组件标识 (Multiple Components Identificaiton,简称为MPC Identificaiton)，MPC Identificaiton＝ON(＝1)表示接入节点能够识别单接入节点的多径测量信息。此举例，并非对本申请的限制，也可通过MPC Identificaiton＝ON(＝0)来指示接入节点支持该能力，也可通过其他消息携带该指示信息。
S303.接入节点/第三方向定位服务功能实体反馈接入节点所支持的能力，其中指示接入节点不支持基于单接入节点的多径测量。

该设计能够使得定位服务功能实体确定用于UE定位的接入节点所能支持的定位测量方式，从而有效实现UE定位。
以上实施例中UE位置估计是分别从UE侧发送基于单接入节点的多径定位测量信息和接入节点侧发送基于单接入节点的多径定位测量信息的角度进行介绍。可以理解的是，定位服务功能实体对UE的位置估计可以根据UE报告的测量信息，也可以根据接入节点报告的测量信息，还可以根据UE和接入节点都报告的测量信息进行UE位置估计。下面从定位服务功能实体进行位置估计的可选用计算方法进行介绍。
