Description

一种确定用户终端UE位置的方法以及处理装置
本申请要求于2019年4月11日提交中国专利局、申请号为201910289466.0、发明名称为“一种确定用户终端UE位置的方法以及处理装置”的中国专利申请的优先权，其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本发明涉及通信技术领域，具体涉及一种确定用户终端UE位置的方法以及处理装置。
背景技术
大规模多入多出天线系统(massive multi in multi out，Massive MIMO)来源于相控阵雷达技术，并在此基础上演进成为蜂窝多天线通信系统，大规模MIMO可以在不增加新频谱资源的情况下，利用空间复用技术极大的提升小区容量和吞吐率。目前大规模MIMO已被业界看做是长期演进(long term evolution，LTE)、LTE+、尤其是在第五代移动通信技术(fifth-generation of wireless mobile telecommunications technology，5G)时代提升频谱利用效率的一个至关重要的方法。
多流配对复用依赖于用户终端(user terminal,UE)信道间的相关性，而影响该相关性的关键因素取决于UE间的空间自由度。在现有技术中，对于实验室确定UE的空间距离通常是采用可变衰减矩阵(variable attenuation matrix,VAM)测试设备来确定UE的空间距离，也就是说在同一个窄波速上变换不同的测量距离进行确定出真实世界中UE的实际位置。若在确定过程中，当不经过信道仿真仪(channel emulator,CE)时，由于空间自由度很低，不能触发8流、16流或者是多于16流的多用户多入多出天线系统(multiple user MIMO,MU-MIMO)配对；而在经过CE时，由于CE通道数规格限制，其最大规格为32×8，导致无法进行超过8流的MU-MIMO测试，也无法满足64T或128T智能天线单元(active antenna unit，AAU)的MU-MIMO或全维多入多出天线系统(full dimension MIMO,FD-MIMO)的测试需求。
由此可知，采用现有技术的方法无法测试和确定出多于128T的多通道信号合成，并且由于大规模多入多出天线系统和通信信道的复杂性，导致其测试方法一直是个难点，且有诸多不确定性。因此，在现有的实验室测试环境确定出这类信道仍然是现阶段以及未来亟需解决的问题。

具体实施方式
本申请实施例提供一种确定用户终端UE位置的方法以及处理装置，不仅能够降低模拟偏差还可以满足实验室内Massive MIMO多用户多流复用的测试场景需求。
下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图，对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述，显然，所描述的实施例仅是本申请一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例，本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例，都属于本申请保护的范围。
本申请的说明书和权利要求书及上述附图中的术语“第一”、“第二”、“第三”、“第四”等(如果存在)是用于区别类似的对象，而不必用于描述特定的顺序或先后次序。应该理解这样使用的数据在适当情况下可以互换，以便这里描述的本申请的实施例如能够以除了在这里图示或描述的那些以外的顺序实施。此外，术语“包括”和“具有”以及他们的任何变形，意图在于覆盖不排他的包含。
本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于实验室内确定用户的3D空间位置，也就是说在三维空间中确定出用户具体位于哪个位置。为准确地在实验室中确定出用户的3D空间位置，在现有技术中，通常是采用可变衰减矩阵测试设备来确定UE到基站的距离，也就是说在基站向UE发送窄波束时，通过在同一个窄波束上变换不同的测量距离进行确定出真实世界中UE的实际位置。由于UE具有移动性，可以在同一个水平维波束上前后移动，也可以不同的垂直维波束上下移动。因此现有的这种确定方法只能够支持UE在同一个水平维波束上前后移动时确定信号的情况，无法支持UE不同的垂直维波束上下移动的情况，也无法支持UE在同一个水平维波束上左右移动的情况。
因此，为了解决上述现有技术中的问题，本申请实施例中对用户的3D空间位置的确定给出了新的方案，进而在实验室中准确地确定出真实世界中用户的实际位置，降低模拟偏差。
图1为本申请实施例的场景架构示意图。如图1所示，包括有天线阵列与4个UE，其中，UE_1与UE_2在同一个水平维度上，而UE_3与UE_4位于垂直维度上。天线阵列可以向UE_1与UE_2发送水平维波束，向UE_3与UE_4发送垂直维波束，要想准确地确定出UE的实际位置，那么就要借助波束到达角AOA，该AOA实际上是指UE向天线阵列发送信号，天线阵列接收该信号时的角度，所以通过AOA可以获知无论UE是在同一个水平维上前后移动还是不同的垂直维波束上下移动时的方向角的偏度情况。
需要说明的一点是，该天线阵列中包括有M个天线阵子，并且这M个天线阵子是按照编号从小到大依次排序，而且M是大于0的整数。在图1中UE的个数仅仅是一个示例，在实际情况中UE的个数可以有5个、6个或者更多，不用将图1理解为是对UE数量的限定。
本申请实施例提出的确定用户终端UE位置的方法，适用于三维空间中确定UE的实际位置。结合上述图1对本申请的场景示意图的介绍，下面将对本申请实施例所提供的确定用户终端UE位置的方法进行介绍，请参阅图2，图2是本申请实施例提供的确定用户终端UE位置 的方法的一个实施例示意图。
如图2所示，本申请实施例提供的确定用户终端UE位置的方法的一个实施例示意图包括：
201、确定M个天线阵子的间距信息和N个UE的角度信息。
本实施例中，间距信息是这M个天线阵子中任意两个天线阵子的间距，而且这两个天线阵子是处于相邻的位置。角度信息是指这N个UE中的任一UE发送给这M个天线阵子时所使用的角度，通常用波束到达角来表示。该角度信息可以包括水平维角度或者是垂直维的角度，该间距信息可以包括水平维间距或垂直维间距。
需要说明的是，M、N都是大于0的整数。
202、根据间距信息和角度信息生成M*N移相值矩阵，移相值矩阵中的移相值用于指示UE的空间位置。
本实施例中，由于每个UE发送给这M个天线阵子时所使用的波束都存在有一个角度信息，因此对于这N个UE中的任意一个UE来说，比如UE_1,该UE_1分别发送波束给这M个天线阵子时，会产生有M*1个角度信息，因此，在同时对于N个UE来说时，比如UE_1、UE_2、UE_3…UE_N，该UE_1分别发送波束给这M个天线阵子时，会产生有M*1个角度信息；同理，当存在两个UE时，如UE_1、UE_2分别发送波束给这M个天线阵子时，会产生有M*2个角度信息，以此类推，当存在N个UE时，如UE_1、UE_2、UE_3…UE_N分别发送波束给这M个天线阵子就会产生有M*N个角度信息。所以可以结合间距信息和角度信息生成M*N移相值矩阵，该移相值矩阵中的每一个移相值可以用来指示出UE的空间位置，即UE位于三维空间的具体方位。
本申请实施例中，通过UE的角度信息与天线阵子的间距信息生成移相值矩阵，使得移相值矩阵中的移相值可以在实验室里被用来指示出UE的空间位置，因此通过角度信息来确定UE的空间位置，不仅能够降低模拟偏差还可以满足实验室内Massive MIMO多用户多流复用的测试场景需求。
为了便于理解，下面对本申请实施例中的具体流程进行具体介绍，请参阅图3，图3为本申请实施例中提供的确定用户终端UE位置的方法的另一个实施例示意图。
301、确定M个天线阵子的间距信息和N个UE的角度信息。
本实施例中，间距信息是这M个天线阵子中任意两个天线阵子的间距，而且这两个天线阵子是处于相邻的位置。角度信息是指这N个UE中的任一UE发送给这M个天线阵子时所使用的角度，通常用波束到达角来表示。该角度信息可以包括水平维角度或者是垂直维的角度，该间距信息可以包括水平维间距或垂直维间距。
上述所描述的波束到达角其实可以使用入射角α进行表示，即UE所在方位到天线阵列的连线与小区法线的夹角，可以根据该入射角计算出波束到达角，从而确定出了角度信息。上述提及的间距信息通常与波束的波长有关，假设波长为λ，所以相邻的天线阵子的间距可以用公式表示为：间距d＝n*λ；也就是说天线阵子的水平维间距可以近似等于相对于波长的n倍，因此可以根据波长的倍数来确定出相邻的两个天线阵子的间距信息。
需要说明的是，M、N都是大于0的整数。
302、根据间距信息和角度信息确定波程差。
本实施例中，该波程是任一UE发送信号后且该信号分别到达每个天线阵子时的路程。 它通常与波束到达天线阵子时的入射角、以及相邻的天线阵子间的间距有关。因此，可以先计算出任一UE发送的信号分别到达基准天线阵子时的波程、第一天线阵子时的波程，进而通过三维角度-相位差模型计算出任一个第一天线阵子与基准天线阵子之间的波程差，该波程差的计算公式可以表示为：波程差＝d*sin(α)。
需要说明的是，上述所提及的基准天线阵子为这M个天线阵子中任意一个天线阵子，而第一天线阵子是该M个天线阵子中除了基准天线阵子以外的M-1个天线阵子。在本实施例中，为了简化计算的目的，通常在天线阵列中选取编号为1的天线阵子作为基准天线阵子，它在天线阵列中的水平维度的阵子编号为1、垂直维度的阵子编号为1，然而此处选取编号为1的天线阵子作为基准天线阵子仅仅是起到详尽说明的作用，但在实际应用场景中对于基准天线阵子的确定可以视情况而定。
进一步需要说明的是，如果同时存在水平维角度和垂直维角度、水平维间距和垂直维间距，那么就需要分别计算出水平维角度与水平维间距的第一波程差，垂直维角度与垂直维间距的第二波程差，并将第一波程差和第二波程差作和计算，以此来得到最终相对于基准天线阵子的波程差。
303、将波程差转化为相位差。
本实施例中，相位差是可以表示为相对于所有的M个天线阵子中的基准天线阵子来说，第一天线阵子接收到信号时所延迟时间内走的路程。由于同一个信号到达任意两个相邻天线阵子时的相位由于路程的不同而存在差异，所以任意两个相邻的天线阵子的相位差多少可以由该信号到达这两个相邻的天线阵子的波程差所决定。因此，可以将波程差转化为相位差。具体地转换公式如下：
第一天线阵子接收到的信号相对于基准天线阵子的相位差为：波程差/λ*2π，其中，π为弧度，因此由此公式可以计算出N个UE发送的信号分别到达这M个天线阵子时任意两个相邻天线阵子的相位差。
需要说明的一点，为了简化过程计算，通常将基准天线阵子的相位信息设置为0，即水平维的相位为0或者是垂直维的相位为0，即基准天线阵子的移相值为0。
304、根据相位差生成移相值矩阵，移相值矩阵中的移相值用于指示UE的空间位置。
本实施例中，在得到了N个UE和M个天线阵子的相位差后，可以直接根据该M*N相位差生成M*N移相值矩阵，该移相值矩阵中的每一个移相值可以用来指示出UE的空间位置，即UE位于三维空间的具体方位。
本申请实施例中，通过UE的角度信息与天线阵子的间距信息确定出波程差，以此来确定相位差，从而根据相位差生成移相值矩阵，使得移相值矩阵中的移相值可以在实验室里被用来指示出UE的空间位置，因此通过相位差所得到的移相值来确定UE的空间位置，不仅能够降低模拟偏差还可以满足实验室内Massive MIMO多用户多流复用的测试场景需求。
为了便于理解，下面对本申请实施例中的具体流程进行具体介绍，请参阅图4，图4为本申请实施例中提供的确定用户终端UE位置的方法的另一个实施例示意图。
401、确定M个天线阵子的间距信息和N个UE的角度信息。
本实施例中，间距信息是这M个天线阵子中任意两个天线阵子的间距，而且这两个天线阵子是处于相邻的位置。角度信息是指这N个UE中的任一UE发送给这M个天线阵子时所使用 的角度，通常用波束到达角来表示。该角度信息可以包括水平维角度或者是垂直维的角度，该间距信息可以包括水平维间距或垂直维间距。
上述所描述的波束到达角其实可以使用入射角α进行表示，即UE所在方位到天线阵列的连线与小区法线的夹角，可以根据该入射角计算出波束到达角，从而确定出了角度信息。上述提及的间距信息通常与波束的波长有关，假设波长为λ，所以相邻的天线阵子的间距可以用公式表示为：间距d＝n*λ；也就是说天线阵子的水平维间距可以近似等于相对于波长的n倍，因此可以根据波长的倍数来确定出相邻的两个天线阵子的间距信息。
需要说明的是，M、N都是大于0的整数。
402、根据间距信息和角度信息确定波程差。
本实施例中，该波程是任一UE发送信号后且该信号分别到达每个天线阵子时的路程。它通常与波束到达天线阵子时的入射角、以及相邻的天线阵子间的间距有关。因此，可以先计算出任一UE发送的信号分别到达基准天线阵子时的波程、第一天线阵子时的波程，进而通过三维角度-相位差模型计算出任一个第一天线阵子与基准天线阵子之间的波程差，该波程差的计算公式可以表示为：波程差＝d*sin(α)。
需要说明的是，上述所提及的基准天线阵子为这M个天线阵子中任意一个天线阵子，而第一天线阵子是该M个天线阵子中除了基准天线阵子以外的M-1个天线阵子。在本实施例中，为了简化计算的目的，通常在天线阵列中选取编号为1的天线阵子作为基准天线阵子，它在天线阵列中的水平维度的阵子编号为1、垂直维度的阵子编号为1，然而此处选取编号为1的天线阵子作为基准天线阵子仅仅是起到详尽说明的作用，但在实际应用场景中对于基准天线阵子的确定可以视情况而定。
进一步需要说明的是，如果同时存在水平维角度和垂直维角度、水平维间距和垂直维间距，那么就需要分别计算出水平维角度与水平维间距的第一波程差，垂直维角度与垂直维间距的第二波程差，并将第一波程差和第二波程差作和计算，以此来得到最终相对于基准天线阵子的波程差。
403、确定M个天线阵子中的任意两个相邻天线阵子的间距为等效平行间距。
本实施例中，确定出波程差后，还应该需要确定出任意两个天线阵子的间距为等效平行间距。也就是说任一UE与每个天线阵子的水平维距离要远大于任意两个天线阵子的间距，则可以认为任意两个天线阵子的间距为等效平行间距，这样有助于在实验室中简化计算的过程，降低处理过程中的功耗。
通常任一UE与每个天线阵子的水平维距离大于100倍的任意两个天线阵子的间距可以看作是符合要求的等效平行间距，但具体应视情况而定，具体此处不做限定。
404、在确定任意两个相邻天线阵子的间距为等效平行间距时，将波程差转化为相位差。
本实施例中，相位差是可以表示为相对于所有的M个天线阵子中的基准天线阵子来说，第M个天线阵子接收到信号时所延迟时间内走的路程。即同一个信号到达任意两个相邻天线阵子时的相位由于路程的不同而存在差异，所以任意两个相邻的天线阵子的相位差多少可以由该信号到达这两个相邻的天线阵子的波程差所决定。因此，可以将波程差转化为相位差。具体地转换公式如下：
第M个天线阵子接收到的信号相对于基准天线阵子的相位差为：波程差/λ*2π，其中， π为弧度，因此由此公式可以计算出N个UE发送的信号分别到达这M个天线阵子时任意两个相邻天线阵子的相位差。
需要说明的一点，为了简化过程计算，通常将基准天线阵子的相位信息设置为0，即水平维的相位为0或者是垂直维的相位为0，即基准天线阵子的移相值为0。
由于在任意两个相邻天线阵子的间距为等效平行间距时，可以在实验室中简化计算的过程，降低处理过程中的功耗，因此可以在该条件下将波程差转化为相位差。
405、根据相位差生成移相值矩阵。
本实施例中，在得到了N个UE和M个天线阵子的相位差后，可以直接根据该M*N相位差生成M*N移相值矩阵，该移相值矩阵中的每一个移相值可以用来指示出UE的空间位置，即UE位于三维空间的具体方位。
本申请实施例中，通过UE的角度信息与天线阵子的间距信息确定出波程差，并且在确定了任意两个相邻天线阵子的间距为等效平行间距时确定相位差，从而根据相位差生成移相值矩阵，使得移相值矩阵中的移相值可以在实验室里被用来指示出UE的空间位置，不仅能够简化计算过程且能够降低模拟偏差，还可以满足实验室内Massive MIMO多用户多流复用的测试场景需求。
为了便于理解，下面对本申请实施例中的具体流程进行具体介绍，请参阅图5，图5为本申请实施例中提供的确定用户终端UE位置的方法的另一个实施例示意图。
501、确定M个天线阵子的间距信息和N个UE的角度信息。
本实施例中，间距信息是这M个天线阵子中任意两个天线阵子的间距，而且这两个天线阵子是处于相邻的位置。角度信息是指这N个UE中的任一UE发送给这M个天线阵子时所使用的角度，通常用波束到达角来表示。该角度信息可以包括水平维角度或者是垂直维的角度，该间距信息可以包括水平维间距或垂直维间距。
上述所描述的波束到达角其实可以使用入射角α进行表示，即UE所在方位到天线阵列的连线与小区法线的夹角，可以根据该入射角计算出波束到达角，从而确定出了角度信息。上述提及的间距信息通常与波束的波长有关，假设波长为λ，所以相邻的天线阵子的间距可以用公式表示为：间距d＝n*λ；也就是说水平维天线间距可以近似等于相对于波长的n倍，因此可以根据波长的倍数来确定出相邻的两个天线阵子的间距信息。
需要说明的是，M、N都是大于0的整数。
502、将间距信息和角度信息确定波程差。
本实施例中，该波程是任一UE发送信号后且该信号分别到达每个天线阵子时的路程。它通常与波束到达天线阵子时的入射角、以及相邻的天线阵子间的间距有关。因此，可以先计算出任一UE发送的信号分别到达基准天线阵子时的波程、第一天线阵子时的波程，进而通过三维角度-相位差模型计算出任一个第一天线阵子与基准天线阵子之间的波程差，该波程差的计算公式可以表示为：波程差＝d*sin(α)。
需要说明的是，上述所提及的基准天线阵子为这M个天线阵子中任意一个天线阵子，而第一天线阵子是该M个天线阵子中除了基准天线阵子以外的M-1个天线阵子。在本实施例中，为了简化计算的目的，通常在天线阵列中选取编号为1的天线阵子作为基准天线阵子，它在天线阵列中的水平维度的阵子编号为1、垂直维度的阵子编号为1，然而此处选取编号为1 的天线阵子作为基准天线阵子仅仅是起到详尽说明的作用，但在实际应用场景中对于基准天线阵子的确定可以视情况而定。
进一步需要说明的是，如果同时存在水平维角度和垂直维角度、水平维间距和垂直维间距，那么就需要分别计算出水平维角度与水平维间距的第一波程差，垂直维角度与垂直维间距的第二波程差，并将第一波程差和第二波程差作和计算，以此来得到最终相对于基准天线阵子的波程差。
503、将波程差转化为相位差。
本实施例中，相位差是可以表示为相对于所有的M个天线阵子中的基准天线阵子来说，第一天线阵子接收到信号时所延迟时间内走的路程。由于同一个信号到达任意两个相邻天线阵子时的相位由于路程的不同而存在差异，所以任意两个相邻的天线阵子的相位差多少可以由该信号到达这两个相邻的天线阵子的波程差所决定。因此，可以将波程差转化为相位差。具体地转换公式如下：
第一天线阵子接收到的信号相对于基准天线阵子的相位差为：波程差/λ*2π，其中，π为弧度，因此由此公式可以计算出N个UE发送的信号分别到达这M个天线阵子时任意两个相邻天线阵子的相位差。
需要说明的一点，为了简化过程计算，通常将基准天线阵子的相位信息设置为0，即水平维的相位为0或者是垂直维的相位为0。
504、根据相位差与基准天线阵子的移相值生成第一天线阵子的移相值。
本实施例中，通常在天线阵列中选取编号为1的天线阵子作为基准天线阵子。即它在天线阵列中的水平维度的阵子编号为1、垂直维度的阵子编号为1，并且为了简化过程计算等通常将基准天线阵子的相位信息设置为零度，即水平维的相位为0或者是垂直维的相位为0，所以N个UE中的每一个UE发送的信号分别到达基准天线阵子时的相位差为0，因此每一个UE与基准天线阵子的移相值为0。因此根据上述所转换到的相位差与基准天线阵子的移相值可以生成第一天线阵子的移相值，也就是天线阵列中除了基准天线阵子以外的其他阵子的移相值，具体生成第一天线阵子的移相值的公式可以表示为：
deg_i-x＝deg_i-1+2π*([(v-1)*V*sin(β_i)modλ]/λ+2π*[(h-1)*H*sin(α_i)modλ)]/λ
其中，deg_i-x为第一天线阵子的移相值，deg_i-1为基准天线阵子的移相值，v为第一天线阵子在垂直维度的阵子编号，h为第一天线阵子在垂直维度的阵子编号，H为第一天线阵子与基准天线阵子的水平间距，V为第一天线阵子与基准天线阵子的垂直间距，α_i为第i个UE在水平法线方向的夹角,β_i为第i个UE在垂直方向的夹角，其中i的取值位于1和N之间的整数。
505、根据基准天线阵子的移相值与第一天线阵子的移相值生成移相矩阵表。
本实施例中，由于每一个UE发送的信号分别到达基准天线阵子时的相位差为0，因此每一个UE与基准天线阵子的移相值均为0；同理，假设编号为2的天线阵子为Ant2，那么对于该Ant2的移相值可以由基准天线阵子的移相值与这N个UE发送的信号分别到达基准天线阵子、Ant2时的相位差生成，例如：假设UE_2与Ant2间的移相值可以由UE_2发送的信号到达基准天线阵子、到达Ant2时这两者之间的相位差加上UE_2与基准天线阵子的移相值生成的。因此，对于其余的UE与第一天线阵子间的移相值可以采用同样的方式以此类推，由此便可 以得到M*N个移相值，将该M*N个移相值按照顺序排列便可以得到M*N移相值矩阵，因此可以将M*N移相值矩阵生成相应的M*N移相矩阵表。
上述所提及的按照顺序排序可以是指天线阵子的编号从小由大排序，具体此处不做限定说明。图6是移相矩阵表的示意图，对于每个UE与M个天线阵子的移相值可以参照图6进行理解。
对于图6中的Ant1、Ant2、Ant3等等，其实Ant1指代的就是这M个天线阵子中阵子编号为1的基准天线阵子，而Ant2、Ant3等等分别阵子编号为2、3等等的第一天线阵子。从图6中也可以看出，任一UE与基准天线阵子的移相值均为0。
506、下发移相矩阵表至移相器矩阵。
本实施例中，在生成移相矩阵表后，将该移相矩阵表下发至移相器矩阵中，可以使得移相器矩阵根据该移相矩阵表中的每一个移相值清楚且准确地确定出UE的在三维空间中的实际位置。
本申请实施例中，通过UE的角度信息与天线阵子的间距信息确定出波程差，以此来确定相位差，并且根据相位差与基准天线阵子的移相值生成第一天线阵子的移相值，将其下发至移相器矩阵，使得在实验室内通过硬件设备能够根据该移相值真实地确定出UE的空间位置，因此通过相位差所得到的移相值来确定UE的空间位置，不仅能够降低模拟偏差还可以满足实验室内Massive MIMO多用户多流复用的测试场景需求。
