基于前导码的定位方法和设备 技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术,尤其涉及一种基于前导码的定位方法和设备。
背景技术
随着通信技术的不断发展,第五代移动通信技术(5th-Generation,5G)已经开始研究及标准化工作。在5G通信技术中,需要对终端设备进行定位。
现有技术中,在第四代移动通信技术(4th-Generation,4G)中,网络设备可以向终端设备发送探测参考信号(sounding reference signal,SRS),进而,网络设备通过SRS信号对终端设备进行定位。
然而现有技术中,在4G中,通过SRS信号对终端设备进行定位的方式,只能是一个网络设备对终端设备进行定位,即,网络设备只能依据当前网络设备所发送的SRS信号对终端设备进行定位,一个网络设备对终端设备进行定位的方式并不准确;在5G中对于终端设备的定位要求更为准确和精准,因此,基于SRS信号的方式,无法对终端设备进行准确和精准的定位。
