背景技术
近年来,随着无线通讯技术的快速发展和越来越多地理化应用在市场上的出现,人们对室内外场景下准确可靠的定位需求不断增加。
目前有一种无线指纹定位技术大致如下:对于服务小区的终端,预先采集每个终端的位置以及无线信号特征(例如多个小区的TOA),将从大量终端采集得到的上述数据作为特征库(也称为指纹库)。当需要对终端进行定位时,利用终端上报的测量报告提取多个小区的TOA,将提取的无线信号特征与特征库中的无线信号特征(如多个小区的TOA)进行匹配,从而确定终端的位置。多个小区包括服务小区以及服务小区的相邻小区。
按照以上方法进行定位需要多个小区的无线信号特征。但是,对于边缘地区(例如农村)的网络设备分布少的地区,终端可能难以获取多个小区的无线信号特征,这样就难以按照以上方法对终端进行定位。

指纹与地理位置一一对应。指纹可以是上行信道的信道状态信息(channel state information,CSI),功率延迟分布(power delay profile,PDP),接收信号强度(received signal strength,RSS),到达时间(time of arrival,TOA),到达方位角(angle of arrival,AOA),信号子空间,多普勒频移或极化参数等中的任意一种或者两种以上无线信号特征的组合。需要说明的是,对于一种无线信号特征时,网络设备可以对一个小区进行测量获取多个无线信号特征作为指纹,例如,多个TOA、多个AOA或者在上行信道的CSI中分别与多个子载波对应的多组元素。另外,指纹还可以包括其他无线信号特征,例如参考信号接收功率(reference signal receiving power,RSRP)或接收信号码功率(received signal code power,RSCP)。在不同的通信制式中,同一用途的无线信号特征会采用不同的名词描述。例如,在长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)系统和宽带码分多址(wideband code division multiple access,WCDMA)中,用于表示无线信号接收强度的无线信号特征分别为RSRP和RSCP。
在时域中,CSI可以通过信道脉冲响应(channel impulse response,CIR)表示。在频域中,CSI可以通过信道频率响应(channel frequency response,CFR)表示。在本申请中的CSI是指上行信道的CSI,也可以称为上行信道的信道矩阵。在本申请中,该上行信道的信道矩阵可记为H,H用于表示一个终端天线到网络设备的天线阵列之间信道的状 态。在该上行信道的信道矩阵H中,一组元素对应一个子载波,一组元素可以表示子载波的振幅衰减和相位偏移。信号衰减的原因包括路径损耗,反射,散射等。
RSS是指通过终端的天线端口接收,在一个符号(symbol)内的所有信号功率的平均值。
TOA是根据发射节点和接收节点之间两次通信的时刻来确定的。
AOA是发射信号的到达方向。AOA可以由接收节点(如网络设备)确定。发射信号是指发射节点发送的信号。
需要说明的是,TOA和AOA可以组合作为无线信号特征。
信号子空间是指CSI的多个特征矢量的集合。具体的,天线阵列由M×N阵元组成,M为垂直方向上的阵元数量,N为水平方向上的阵元数量。H为M×N×L的矩阵,L表示采样点数。根据CSI获取信道协方差矩阵R hh,R hh=E{HH H},E为特征矢量。将R hh进行特征分解得到多个特征值Λ和多个特征矢量E,特征矢量与特征值是一一对应的。从分解得到的多个特征值中选取最大的n个特征值,若最大的n个特征值之和与全部特征值之和的比例大于预设阈值,则确定最大的n个特征值对应的特征矢量为信号子空间。最大的n个特征值是按照特征值从大到小排列的序列中的前n个特征值,n为小于特征值总数的正整数,特征值总数是对R hh分解得到全部特征值的数量。预设阈值可以根据实际情况设置,例如90%,95%或99%,具体取值在此不作限定。
本申请提供的无线定位方法可以应用于定位系统,定位系统包括终端、网络设备和定位装置。定位系统可以对视距(line of sight,LoS)环境或非视距(non line of sight,nLoS)环境中的终端进行定位。
如图1所示的应用场景中,终端10发射导频信号,由于障碍物(如大楼)的反射或阻挡,该导频信号通过多个传输路径到达网络设备20,网络设备20根据导频信号确定终端10和网络设备20之间的上行信道的CSI,网络设备20根据上行信道的CSI确定多径指纹,将多径指纹发送给定位装置30。定位装置30可以根据多径指纹确定终端10的位置。可以理解的是,图1所示的3条传输路径为示意性描述,并不应视为本申请对多径的限定。以上对通过多个传输路径传输导频信号的描述是为了更加清楚地描述多径效应,不应视为本申请对导频信号、上行信道或多径的限定。终端10发射的其他信号(如数据)也可以通过上述多个传输路径传输至网络设备20。
终端10也称为终端设备或用户设备。终端10可以是个人电脑、手机,平板电脑,智能可穿戴设备(如智能手表,智能眼镜等)或个人数字助理(personal digital assistant,PDA)等。终端10与网络设备20通过无线链路连接。
网络设备20可以是2G基站,3G基站,4G基站,5G基站或者5G以后的演进型基站。例如GSM基站,CDMA基站,UMTS基站,LTE基站,Wi-Fi的接入节点,全球互通微波访问(worldwide interoperability for microwave access,WiMAX)的接入节点。
网络设备20和定位装置30可以通过有线链路或无线链路进行连接。
定位装置30可以通过服务器实现,例如位置服务器。图2是本申请实施例中服务器200的一种结构示意图。参阅图2,该服务器200可因配置或性能不同而产生比较大的差异,可以包括一个或一个以上中央处理器(central processing units,CPU)222和存储器232, 一个或一个以上存储应用程序242或数据244的存储介质230(例如一个或一个以上海量存储设备)。其中,存储器232和存储介质230可以是短暂存储或持久存储。存储在存储介质230的程序可以包括一个或一个以上模块(图2未标出),每个模块可以包括对服务器中的一系列指令操作。更进一步地,中央处理器222可以设置为与存储介质230通信,在服务器200上执行存储介质230中的一系列指令操作。
服务器200还可以包括一个或一个以上电源226,一个或一个以上有线或无线网络接口250,一个或一个以上输入输出接口258,和/或,一个或一个以上操作系统241,例如Windows Server TM,Mac OS XTM,Unix TM,Linux TM,FreeBSD TM等等。
本申请中,以下实施例中由定位装置所执行的步骤可以基于该图2所示的服务器结构。
参阅图3,本申请提供的无线定位方法的一个实施例包括:
步骤301、第一网络设备接收终端发送的信道探测参考信号(sounding reference signal,SRS)和小区标识。
本实施例中,终端在不同时刻发送SRS和小区标识,第一网络设备分别接收SRS和小区标识。小区标识用于标识终端所在小区,终端所在小区也称为服务小区。
步骤302、第一网络设备根据SRS确定上行信道的CSI。
步骤303、第一网络设备根据上行信道的CSI确定第一多径指纹。
第一多径指纹可以包括多个TOA和多个AOA。信号从终端到网络设备有多条传输路径,多径分量是指多条传输路径中的任意一条传输路径。从终端到第一网络设备的多径分量与TOA是一一对应的,从终端到第一网络设备的多径分量与AOA是一一对应的,即从终端到第一网络设备的多径分量对应一组TOA和AOA。可选的,使用最大似然(maximum likelihood,ML)算法或子空间类算法对CSI进行运算,得到TOA和AOA的组合。子空间类算法可以是但不限于多重信号分类算法(multiple signal classification,MUSIC),旋转矢量不变技术(estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques,ESPRIT),求根多重信号分类算法(Fast root-MUSIC)。
需要说明的是,除了多个TOA和多个AOA以外,第一多径指纹还可以包括RSRP,上行信道的CSI,CSI的信号子空间,上行信道的PDP,RSS,多普勒频移,极化参数中的一种或多种。一般来说,多径指纹包括的无线信号特征的种类越多,定位的精度越高。
其中,CSI的信号子空间,上行信道的PDP,RSS,多普勒频移,极化参数都可以根据CSI确定的。本实施例中的上行信道是指从终端到第一网络设备的上行信道。
根据CSI确定CSI的信号子空间的方法可参阅前文中信号子空间的相关记载。
根据CSI确定上行信道的PDP可以包括:从CSI中分别选取对应于一个天线对的元素,根据对应于一个天线对的元素计算得到一个PDP,将计算得到的多个PDP作为用于定位的无线信号特征。天线对包括一个发射天线和一个接收天线。
根据CSI确定RSS可以包括:从CSI中分别选取对应于一个天线对的元素,根据对应于一个天线对的元素计算得到一个RSS,将计算得到的多个RSS作为用于定位的无线信号特征。
另外,根据CSI确定多普勒频移和极化参数的方法可参阅现有技术。
步骤304、定位装置接收第一网络设备发送的第一多径指纹和小区标识。
第一网络设备根据上行信道的信道状态信息确定第一多径指纹后,第一网络设备将第一多径指纹和小区标识发送给定位装置。
步骤305、定位装置在预设指纹库中查找与小区标识对应的小区指纹集合。
定位装置在预设指纹库中查找是否存在小区标识,若存在小区标识,则确定在预设指纹库中存在服务小区对应的小区指纹集合,若不存在小区标识,则确定在预设指纹库中不存在服务小区对应的小区指纹集合。
步骤306、在预设指纹库中存在小区指纹集合的情况下,定位装置将第一多径指纹与小区指纹集合中的多径指纹进行匹配,根据匹配结果确定终端的位置。
在预设指纹库中存在小区指纹集合的情况下,当小区指纹集合中存在与第一多径指纹相同的多径指纹时,确定第一多径指纹对应的位置为终端的位置。当小区指纹集合中不存在与第一多径指纹相同的多径指纹时,在小区指纹集合中查找与第一多径指纹相似的多径指纹,将相似度最高的多径指纹对应的位置作为终端的位置。
可选的,在预设指纹库中不存在小区指纹集合的情况下,定位装置根据第一多径指纹确定相似多径指纹;根据第一多径指纹和相似多径指纹计算反射体位置;根据反射体位置计算终端的位置。其中,反射体是指在终端到网络设备之间反射信号的物体,反射体位置与终端位置之间的距离小于预设距离。若反射体位置与终端位置之间的距离小于预设距离,则表明反射体在终端附近。若反射体位置与终端位置之间的距离大于或等于预设距离,则表明反射体不在终端附近。相似多径指纹是与第一多径指纹相似的多径指纹,具体可以是在预设指纹库中与第一多径指纹相似度最高的多径指纹。
定位装置根据第一多径指纹确定相似多径指纹具体可以通过以下方式实现:
可选的,定位装置根据最小均方差(minimum mean squared error,MMSE)估计算法确定相似多径指纹。
可选的,定位装置根据最小距离测量(minimum distance measure,MDM)算法确定相似多径指纹。
可选的,定位装置根据最大似然估计算法确定相似多径指纹。
可选的,定位装置根据贝叶斯估计算法确定相似多径指纹。
可选的,定位装置根据K-邻近算法确定相似多径指纹。
可选的,定位装置根据支持向量机(support vector machine,SVM)分类算法确定相似多径指纹。
可选的,定位装置根据随机森林分类算法确定相似多径指纹。
可选的,定位装置根据神经网络算法确定相似多径指纹。
需要说明的是,第一网络设备还可以向定位装置发送终端标识,终端标识和第一多径指纹可以设置在一个消息中,或者设置在不同的消息中。定位装置根据第一网络设备发送的终端标识,可以将终端的位置通过第一网络设备发送给终端。
本实施例中,由于小区内不同位置的终端对应的多径指纹不同,因此根据一个网络设备和终端之间的多径指纹可以实现单站定位,能够适用于网络设备分布少的地区,具有更 好的适用性。
其次,由于多径指纹包括多个无线信号特征,因此在指纹匹配定位时具有良好的定位精度。
再次,在预设指纹库不包括小区标识对应的小区指纹集合的情况下,仍然能够根据一个小区的多个TOA和多个AOA计算出终端位置,由此具有良好的鲁棒性。
在一个可选实施例中,
上述方法还包括:网络设备接收终端发送的波束标识,将波束标识发送给定位装置;
定位装置将第一多径指纹与小区指纹集合中的多径指纹进行匹配包括:定位装置在小区指纹集合中确定与波束标识对应的波束指纹集合;将第一多径指纹与波束指纹集合中的多径指纹进行匹配。
本实施例中,在5G或者5G以后的通信系统中,终端可以向网络设备发送波束标识。波束标识和小区标识可以同时发送,或者分开发送。网络设备接收终端发送的波束标识后,将波束标识发送给定位装置。定位装置接收第一网络设备发送的波束标识,在小区指纹集合中确定与波束标识对应的波束指纹集合;将第一多径指纹与波束指纹集合中的多径指纹进行匹配,根据匹配结果确定终端的位置。
由于波束指纹集合比小区指纹集合更小,因此能够在指纹匹配过程时减少运算量,提高匹配速度。
在以上的无线定位方法中,使用一个小区的多个无线信号特征作为多径指纹。在本申请后文介绍的无线定位方法中,使用多个小区的多个无线信号特征作为多径指纹。下面进行详细介绍:
在另一个可选实施例中,上述方法还包括:
第一网络设备确定第一时刻以及获取终端的标识,将第一时刻和终端的标识发送给定位装置;第二网络设备接收终端发送的上行导频信号,根据上行导频信号确定第二多径指纹;确定第二时刻,以及获取终端的标识;将第二多径指纹、第二时刻和终端的标识发送给定位装置;定位装置根据终端的标识,确定第一时刻和第二时刻之间的时间间隔;当第一时刻和第二时刻之间的时间间隔小于或等于预设时长时,定位装置将第一多径指纹和第二多径指纹,与预设指纹库中的多径指纹组合进行匹配,根据匹配结果确定终端的位置。
本实施例中,第一时刻是终端与第一网络设备断开无线链路的时刻。第二时刻是终端与第二网络设备建立无线链路的时刻。第二网络设备和第一网络设备为异制式网络设备。需要说明的是,第一时刻和终端的标识可以是设置一个消息中,也可以是设置在不同时刻的两个消息中。同理,第二多径指纹、第二时刻和终端的标识可以是设置一个消息中,也可以是分别设置在不同时刻的多个消息中。
第二网络设备根据上行导频信号确定第二多径指纹具体可以为:第二网络设备根据上行导频信号确定上行信道的CSI;根据上行信道的CSI确定第二多径指纹。第二多径指纹可以包括PDP。除了PDP以外,第二多径指纹还可以包括RSS,多个TOA,CSI,CSI的信号子空间,上行信道的PDP,多普勒频移,极化参数中的一种或多种。本实施例中的上行信道是指从终端到第二网络设备的上行信道。
定位装置分别接收第一网络设备发送的第一时刻、终端的标识,以及第二网络设备发送的第二多径指纹、第二时刻和终端的标识之后,根据终端的标识可以确定第一时刻和第二时刻对应于同一个终端。
定位装置确定第一时刻和第二时刻之间的时间间隔之后,将该时间间隔与预设时长进行比较;当第一时刻和第二时刻之间的时间间隔小于或等于预设时长时,表明终端与第一网络设备断开无线链路之后,该终端与第二网络设备立即建立了无线链路。在此期间默认终端的位置不变,第一多径指纹和第二多径指纹是来自同一位置的多径指纹。这样,将第一多径指纹和第二多径指纹与预设指纹库中的多径指纹组合进行匹配;根据匹配结果确定终端的位置。由于多径指纹组合包括更多无线信号特征,因此根据多径指纹组合进行匹配定位具有更好的定位精度。
需要说明的是,第二网络设备还可以向定位装置发送第二网络设备对应的小区标识,定位装置可以根据第二网络设备对应的小区标识,确定第二网络设备对应的小区指纹集合,根据第一网络设备对应的小区指纹集合和第二网络设备对应的小区指纹集合确定用于匹配的指纹集合,从而缩小指纹匹配范围,提高定位速度。
例如,终端可以向LTE基站发送SRS,LTE基站根据SRS确定第一多径指纹。在终端与LTE基站断开无线链路后,LTE基站将断开无线链路的时刻T1和终端标识发送给定位装置,以及终端向GSM基站发送上行导频信号。GSM基站根据上行导频信号获取第二多径指纹,以及确定建立无线链路的时刻T2和获取终端的标识,将第二多径指纹、T2和终端标识发送给定位装置。当T1和T2的时间间隔小于或等于1秒时,定位装置将第一多径指纹和第二多径指纹作为多径指纹组合,将上述多径指纹组合和预设指纹库中的多径指纹组合进行匹配,根据匹配结果确定终端的位置。预设时长的具体取值可以根据实际情况设置,例如0.5秒,1秒,2秒等,在此不作限定。
当第一时刻和第二时刻之间的时间间隔大于预设时长时,表明终端与第一网络设备断开无线链路之后,没有在预设时间窗口内与第二网络设备立即建立无线链路,此时认为终端的位置可能发生了变化,由此判断第一多径指纹和第二多径指纹很可能不是来自同一位置的多径指纹。预设时长为预设时间窗口的时长。这样,定位装置不执行将第一多径指纹和第二多径指纹与预设指纹库中的多径指纹组合进行匹配的步骤,可以将第二多径指纹与预设指纹库中的多径指纹进行匹配,然后根据匹配结果确定终端的位置。
以上对异制式网络设备的场景下的无线定位方法进行了描述,下面对一个网络设备获取两种不同类型的测量报告,然后将不同类型的测量报告携带的多径指纹作为多径指纹组合的方法进行介绍。
在另一个可选实施例中,上述方法还包括:终端向第一网络设备发送第一测量报告,第一测量报告携带第一多径指纹和第一测量时刻;终端向第一网络设备发送第二测量报告,第二测量报告携带第二多径指纹和第二测量时刻;当第一测量时刻和第二测量时刻的时间间隔小于预设时长时,第一网络设备将第一多径指纹和第二多径指纹组合为待处理多径指纹组合,将待处理多径指纹组合发送给定位装置;定位装置将待处理多径指纹组合与预设指纹库中的多径指纹组合进行匹配,根据匹配结果确定终端的位置。
本实施例中,第一网络设备为在非独立组网(non-standalone,NSA)架构下的5G基站。第一测量报告为LTE系统的测量报告,第二测量报告为5G的测量报告,第一测量时刻是生成第一测量报告的时刻,第二测量时刻是生成第二测量报告的时刻。第一多径指纹包括一个小区级的RSRP或多个波束级的RSRP,第二多径指纹包括多个波束级的RSRP。
当第一测量时刻和第二测量时刻的时间间隔小于预设时长时,默认终端在第一测量时刻和第二测量时刻的位置相同,第一多径指纹和第二多径指纹是来自同一位置的多径指纹。预设时长的具体取值可以根据实际情况设置,例如0.5秒,1秒,2秒等,在此不作限定。与第一多径指纹或第二多径指纹相比,多径指纹组合包括更多无线信号特征,这样根据多径指纹组合进行匹配定位具有更好的定位精度。
当第一时刻和第二时刻之间的时间间隔大于预设时长时,表明终端在第一测量时刻和第二测量时刻的位置可能发生了变化,由此判断第一多径指纹和第二多径指纹很可能不是来自同一位置的多径指纹。这样,第一网络设备不执行将第一多径指纹和第二多径指纹组合为待处理多径指纹组合的步骤,以避免错误定位。
以上对包括TOA和AOA的多径指纹进行了介绍,利用该多径指纹在室外场景下进行无线定位具有良好的定位精度。但是,在室内场景下信号会经过多次反射,例如2次,3次或4次以上反射,TOA和AOA会误差很大,因此上述多径指纹不适用于室内场景。本申请提供了另一种多径指纹,根据该多径指纹能够在室内场景下对终端进行良好的定位。
参阅图4,本申请提供的无线定位方法的另一个实施例包括:
步骤401、网络设备接收终端发送的上行导频信号。
步骤402、网络设备根据上行导频信号确定多径指纹。
其中,多径指纹包括上行信道的CSI、CSI的信号子空间、上行信道的信道协方差矩阵或上行信道的PDP中的至少一种。该上行信道是从终端到网络设备的上行信道。
具体的,网络设备根据上行导频信号确定上行信道的CSI,根据上行信道的CSI确定CSI的信号子空间;或者,网络设备根据上行信道的CSI确定上行信道的信道协方差矩阵;或者,网络设备根据上行信道的CSI确定上行信道的PDP。以上确定行信道的CSI、CSI的信号子空间、上行信道的信道协方差矩阵或上行信道的PDP的方法可参阅图3所示实施例中的相关记载。
步骤403、网络设备将多径指纹发送给定位装置。
步骤404、定位装置将多径指纹与预设的多径指纹进行匹配,根据匹配结果确定终端的位置。
定位装置接收网络设备发送的多径指纹后,将接收的多径指纹与预设的多径指纹进行匹配,根据匹配结果确定终端的位置。
例如,一个终端可以向多个网络设备发送上行导频信号,每个网络设备根据该终端发送的上行导频信号能够确定一个信号子空间,多个网络设备将信号子空间发送给定位装置。定位装置可以接收多个网络设备发送的信号子空间,然后将多个网络设备发送的信号子空间与预设的信号子空间组合进行匹配,根据匹配结果确定终端的位置。
本实施例中,由于小区内不同位置的终端对应的多径指纹不同,因此根据多径指纹可 以实现单站定位。
其次,障碍物对信号的多次反射对上行信道的CSI、CSI的信号子空间、上行信道的信道协方差矩阵或上行信道的PDP的影响较小,因此在室内场景下根据上述无线信号特征形成的多径指纹进行匹配定位具有良好的定位精度。
