本申请主张在2019年1月2日在中国提交的中国专利申请No.201910000973.8优先权,其全部内容通过引用包含于此。
技术领域
本公开涉及无线通信技术领域,特别是指一种用于移动通信的定位追踪方法及低功耗定位追踪系统。
背景技术
近年来,定位追踪设备与宠物防丢、生命体征监测、冷链物流结合,借助蓝牙、2G/GPRS、ZigBee、Lora等通信技术实现定位追踪端到端服务,已成为研究热点。
在相关的技术方案中,一般利用如下技术及步骤:
1、通过定位系统(如:GPS全球定位系统、北斗)获取定位坐标数据;
2、通过三轴加速度传感器获取运动速度、运动计数数据;
3、通过人体体征传感器获取心跳血压等人体生命体征数据;
4、通过智能手机实现人机交互快捷功能,并提供身份验证功能;
5、采用蓄电池、USB充电、太阳能转电能等方式供电;
6、通过射频模块实现装置与数据接入网之间的信号传输,支持WIFI、蓝牙、zigbee、GPRS/GSM、LORA等,实现无线联网并传输到远程服务器、手机APP等显示并管理;
7、通过移动通信技术将监测信息传输到服务平台。
相关技术中:
(1)定位追踪产品的续航时间一般在3个月之内,对于冷链物流、野外作业人员佩戴等使用场景,待机能力难以满足场景体验。
(2)传输距离短,难以覆盖广阔的活动空间,用户体验有一定局限性。
(3)终端通信数据传输抗干扰能力不强,同时系统数传装置运行维护成本高。
(4)数据无法集中管理,分散于单个佩戴对象设备。
相关的技术方案都存在待机时间不长的问题,主要原因在于定位追踪设备与基站通信时消耗的功耗过高,主要原因包括:
1、定位追踪主要依靠GPS高频次获取精确的经纬度信息,往往不考虑定位对象的位置、移动速度的差异,通信频次非常高,导致而GPS导航芯片及外围电路耗电量普遍较高。
2、定位终端与基站通信信令交互流程复杂,终端入网后会不间断地通过全双工机制调度通信控制面数据,而网络侧为了防止网络信令风暴,设计了不够精细化的通用的定时机制,复杂的数据包交互、通信信号功率强度监听方式、小区重选和切换机制都将消耗较多电量。

下面结合附图以及具体的实施例对本公开的技术方案进行进一步介绍:
本实施例充分考虑定位追踪应用对通信频次的需求,以及移动终端的有效无线连接承载时长,针对相关技术中的定位追踪方法在低功耗方面的不足,提出一种低功耗定位追踪方案,主要利用网络基站定位数据,在确保定位信息准确有效传递的同时,根据移动终端所处位置的不同,结合移动终端的信标场景和位移变化情况,精细化调节位置获取频次,降低移动终端冗余通信过程,并配合休眠机制实现移动终端超长待机能力,以此实现移动终端长达数年不用更换蓄电池。
低功耗定位追踪系统由终端子系统、蜂窝物联网子系统、业务管理平台子系统构成。终端子系统和业务管理平台子系统之间通过蜂窝物联网子系统连接。本实施例的主要应用场景是物资防丢、人员搜寻等难以频繁更换电池,也不需要实时获取精确定位信息的场景,较低频次的定位信息就足以掌握定位对象的大致位置。
其中,终端子系统安装在移动终端上,终端子系统的定位单元,用于周期性获取移动终端当前位置信息,其输出数据中包括移动终端的当前位置信息和速度信息;
终端子系统的通信单元,与所处蜂窝物联网小区基站eNB建立无线资源承载,入网后完成移动终端附着并注册网络。通信单元通过附着请求消息携带休眠模式参数(休眠模式参数包括不活动定时器时间和心跳周期时间间隔,不连续接收模式参数包括扩展寻呼周期和可寻呼窗口时间间隔)和核心网 MME协商,如果MME中没有更高优先级的本地配置的时长,即设置定时参数为当前协商值。在休眠状态下(非可寻呼窗口期间、或者不活动定时器到时之后),移动终端的通信单元关闭信号收发和接入功能,移动终端微控制处理单元赋值指示各工作单元进入休眠,从而减少天线、射频、信令处理等的功耗消耗,但在网络处于注册状态。同时,通信单元监听接收信号功率强度,并测量多个小区的抵达时间差(OTDOA),计算出移动终端当前的位置信息。
终端子系统的蓄电池单元,采用双电池电源的供电方式,为定位单元单独供电。即使由于第三方接口的功能使用频率高而没电后,定位单元还能在工作,使得终端子系统至少具备定位功能。
终端子系统的微控制处理单元,控制终端子系统各单元协同工作,使终端子系统至少包含多种工作模式:
1)信标休眠模式
需要防丢定位的人、宠、物等在一天内的大部分时间是在某些特定位置的,为这些常去的地方放上信标,当定位对象进入信标范围内,则进入超低功耗的休眠模式,此模式下不需要获取定位信息,最大化地减小电能消耗。比如,宠物大部分时间都是在家里或者特定的活动场所。

夜间 00:00
2)周期性休眠模式
当定位移动终端离开安全信标区域,终端子系统将移动终端当前的位置、 速度信息通过通信单元上传至业务管理平台子系统,业务管理平台子系统根据移动终端的当前位置、速度判断行进方式,并以最低功耗开销,适时采集定位信息。
当监测到定位对象以步行速度行驶的时候,终端子系统工作模式开启为PSM(power saving mode,节能模式)模式,即上述第一休眠模式,PSM长周期休眠模式参数包括不活动定时器时长T3和心跳周期T4,其中,不活动定时器在终端子系统RRC连接释放后启动,超时后终端子系统保持深度睡眠以降低功耗,终端子系统每到心跳周期T2超时被唤醒,获取并上报当前位置坐标信息。
当检测到定位对象以车载速度行驶的时候,终端子系统工作模式切换为eDRX(extended Discontinuous Reception,扩展非连续接收)模式,即上述第二休眠模式,为精细化定位,心跳周期缩短为较短周期,较高频率地获取高速运动的定位对象在非信标区域的适时位置信息。不连续接收模式参数包括寻呼周期时间间隔T1和寻呼窗口时间间隔T2,其中,T2<T1。寻呼窗口内以一定寻呼间隔和蜂窝物联网的eNB建立无线承载,终端子系统的通信单元保持激活状态,而寻呼窗口之外的时间终端子系统保持深度睡眠以降低功耗。
在相关技术中,由于网络基站单元eNB无法预知终端子系统是否有数据需要发送,网络侧为了防止反复拆除无线链路带来的大量冗余信令负荷(信令风暴),在移动终端完成业务传输后,无线通信链路总是会保持一段时间再释放。该段时间内移动终端仍处于无线链路连接状态,导致移动终端不得不为此消耗一定电量。因此,对功耗极为敏感的定位移动终端,要想进一步延长电量使用时长,十分有必要优化此过程。本公开就针对移动终端的RRC无线链路释放定时器过长的问题提出优化方案,缩短无线链路连接时间。
首先,终端子系统的通信单元发起服务请求触发启用非接入层NAS协议用于发送数据。NAS协议定义的帧格式包括协议指示、承载标识(ID)、过程事务标识、用户数据段。协议指示用于指示网络需要触发控制面优化来传输用户数据,UE和MME之间使用NAS消息来传输用户数据;承载ID用于指示用户数据的末端位置;过程事务ID用于携带释放辅助信息,用于指示在 此上行数据传输之后是否期待有下行数据传输(例如上行数据的确认和响应)。
接着,当定位移动终端上报定位信息时,通信单元将IP数据包封装到NAS协议数据单元,建立控制面数据传输流程。
接着,通信单元建立无线承载连接后通过附着网络,将通过NAS协议数据单元传输到网络基站单元eNB,eNB通过专用控制信道DCCH向蜂窝物联网单元MME发出NAS信令请求消息,其中上行携带NAS信令标识和已经加密的上行用户数据。
接着,MME通过承载标识获取到该数据包的末端位置。如果释放辅助信息指示不期待接收下行数据并且也没有上行数据需要传递,用户数据包末端位置传输结束后,MME立即释放无线承载连接。避免基站eNB采用相关技术的通用定时方式对低功耗移动终端造成的无线承载连接时间。移动终端立刻退出连接态并启动PSM定时器,到时后马上进入睡眠态,减少了业务连接态的功耗。图5为非接入层NAS协议帧格式定义示意图。
如图6所示,一具体实施例的定位追踪方法具体包括以下步骤:
步骤1:用户在人机交互单元设置关联的定位追踪装置(即包括终端子系统的移动终端),并根据上午、下午、晚上等时段和日历情况,设置常用的场景位置坐标{A1,A2,…,An},其中,An=(Xn,Yn)。将这些常去的安全区域设置为信标区域,例如:公园、家、小区等。同样的,用户可以设置非安全区域作为信标区域。
步骤2、移动终端上电初始化,查找所处小区基站信号,并在附着消息中携带PSM模式定时器参数(不活动定时器时长T3和心跳周期T4),和eDRX模式的定时器参数(寻呼周期时间间隔T1和寻呼窗口时间间隔T2)。接收信号功率指示功能,以实现设备当前的接收功率由接收信号携带的信号强度指示参考值提供,信号强度指示参考值的抽样频率为1s。
步骤3:移动终端的终端子系统将移动终端的当前位置信息、速度信息通过通信单元上传至业务管理平台子系统,业务管理平台子系统可根据当前位置、速度的大小判断行进方式及启动对应的工作模式,并获取定位追踪装置的当前位置坐标信息。人的步行速度一般在4-10公里/小时,则可选地,以 小于10公里/小时的速度判定为步行,10公里/小时以上的速度则判定为乘车。
启动静止模式:
当前位置坐标与信标坐标的差值Lxn=|Xo-Xn|,Lyn=|Yo–Yn|,判断Lxn或Lyn是否小于阈值L,并持续一段时间T0。
当Lxn或Lyn小于阈值L说明移动终端进入信标区域。终端子系统启动静止模式,保持整机休眠降低功耗。
启动PSM:
当获取的定位坐标距离信标坐标大于阈值L,说明定位对象正离开信标区域,终端子系统启动PSM模式,移动终端周期性退出休眠,但在网络中处于注册状态。可选地,心跳周期T4设为较长周期,例如10分钟,即10分钟获取1次定位信息就足以掌握定位对象的大致位置。
出现心跳周期T4超时,移动终端被唤醒,与eNB建立RRC无线承载后将获取到的当前位置信息上报给蜂窝物联网eNB,数据传输结束RRC连接释放后定时器超时后再次进入休眠状态。
终端子系统继续获取移动终端的当前位置信息。
启动eDRX模式:
当检测到定位对象以车载速度行驶的时候,终端子系统工作模式切换为eDRX模式,同时心跳周期缩短为较短周期,例如2分钟。
业务服务平台子系统以寻呼周期T1为间隔,发起位置获取请求,蜂窝物联网子系统的S-GW在非寻呼窗口接收到下行数据,会缓存数据包,待移动终端进入寻呼时间窗口T2,蜂窝物联网子系统的MME寻呼移动终端并触发建立空口连接,转发请求数据包给移动终端。
移动终端响应请求,将当前位置信息上报给蜂窝物联网子系统的eNB,经过核心网各单元转发后传递到业务管理平台子系统。存储处理单元进行位置坐标的判断分析,如果移动终端处于非信标区域,且获取位置坐标值变化,则在寻呼时间间隔T1超时后,再次发起位置获取请求,继续获取移动终端的位置坐标。
本公开能够实现不同的定位场景对通信频次的差异化调节,创新性设计 的精细化调节定位数据获取频次的方法,能够降低移动终端冗余通信过程,并配合休眠机制实现低功耗定位。本公开创新性地应用专用控制信道DCCH上报定位移动终端网络数据,设计了一种NAS协议帧格式,网络管理单元MME能够根据帧标识准确找到移动终端上报数据包有效数据位末端位置,高效缩短相关技术中的基站技术造成的无效的无线承载连接时间。本公开的休眠模式包括信标休眠模式和长周期休眠模式、不连续接收休眠模式的设计方法,其中不连续接收休眠模式能够区分步行和车载前进的定位场景。本公开通过测量多基站小区的信号抵达时间差计算出移动终端当前的位置信息,并根据移动终端所处位置的不同,移动速度的不同,准确有限的传递定位信息,并实现移动终端的超长待机。
