技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域，例如涉及一种位置预测方法、装置、网元、基站和存储介质。
背景技术
最小化路测(Minimization of Drive-tests，MDT)是在第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd Generation Partnership Project，3GPP)在长期演进(Long Term Evolution，LTE)系统中引入的一种通过网络配置对普通用户或商用终端进行测量数据采集、上报的自动化路测技术，其原理是只要用户终端开启全球定位系统(Global Positioning System，GPS)并支持MDT功能，终端就能向基站自动上报包含用户位置信息的MDT数据。
但是，目前MDT测量上报仅包含GPS多个时间点的历史位置信息，并不包含其他可用于位置测量的多个时间点的历史原始测量量。如果终端不支持GPS或者未开启GPS，则无法获取终端的历史位置信息。而且，现有MDT技术中，获取的终端历史GPS位置信息，也只是为了获取终端不同位置点的接收质量等，以用于分析覆盖盲区。

具体实施方式
下文中将结合附图对本申请的实施例进行说明。
另外，在本申请实施例中，“可选地”或者“示例性地”等词用于表示作例子、例证或说明。使用“可选地”或者“示例性地”等词旨在以具体方式呈现相关概念。并且，本申请实施例中的涉及的“第一”、“第二”、“第三”仅是用于区分不同的概念、消息等，并不用于顺序的限定。
图1为本申请实施例提供的一种位置预测方法的流程图，该方法可以应用于位置服务网元，如图1所示，该方法包括：
S101、位置服务网元接收基站发送的MDT测量信息消息。
在本申请实施例中，位置服务网元可以为独立于基站的一个单独的网元，也可以为位于基站内部的网元。
当位置服务网元为一个单独的网元时，上述步骤S101的实现方式可以为位置服务网元通过其与基站之间的接口接收基站发送的MDT测量信息消息。当位置服务网元为位于基站内部的网元时，上述步骤S101的实现方式可以为位置服务网元通过基站内部的接口接收基站发送的MDT测量信息消息。
上述MDT测量信息消息中携带有至少一个UE的历史位置测量信息，其中，历史位置测量信息可以包括以下信息中的至少一个：
一个或多个时间点的经纬度坐标、一个或多个时间点的连接小区标识、一个或多个时间点的导频指纹测量值、在一个或多个时间点记录的无线局域网标识、一个或多个时间点的多个小区的定位参考信号到达时间差、一个或多个时间点的连接小区的连接波束标识。
S102、位置服务网元根据至少一个UE的历史位置测量信息，确定至少一个UE的第一时间点或第一时间段的预测位置信息。
本步骤中，上述第一时间点或第一时间段可以为将来一个时间点或将来一 个时间段，也即，上述步骤可以理解为位置服务网元获取到步骤S101中的MDT测量信息消息中的至少一个UE的历史位置测量信息后，根据该至少一个UE的历史位置测量信息，确定至少一个UE在将来一个时间点或将来一个时间段的预测位置信息。
可选地，上述实现方式为位置服务网元根据至少一个UE的历史位置测量信息，以及至少一个UE的当前的位置，确定至少一个UE的第一时间点或第一时间段的预测位置信息。
示例性地，上述预测位置信息可以包括经纬度坐标、所在小区标识、海拔高度信息、连接小区的连接波束标识、所在跟踪区域信息中的至少一个，其中，一个跟踪区域可以由一个小区或多个小区组成。
S103、位置服务网元将预测位置信息发送至所述基站。
由于位置服务网元可以为单独的网元，也可以为位于基站内部的网元，那么上述实现方式可以有以下不同可选的实现方式：
当位置服务网元为单独的网元时，位置服务网元通过其与基站的接口将预测位置信息发送至基站；当位置服务网元为基站内部的网元时，位置服务网元通过基站内部的接口将预测位置信息发送至基站的控制面。
通过上述方式，可以由位置服务网元基于至少一个UE的相关历史位置数据预测对应UE在特定时间点或时间段(例如，第一时间点或第一时间段)的预测位置信息。
图2为本申请实施例提供的一种位置预测方法的流程图，该方法可以应用于基站，如图2所示，该方法包括：
S201、基站向确定的至少一个UE发送MDT测量激活信息。
在本申请实施例中，基站可以通过空口向确定的至少一个UE发送MDT测量激活信息，其中，该MDT测量激活信息用于指示确定的至少一个UE进行位置测量。
可选地，基站通过空口向确定的至少一个UE发送MDT测量激活信息时，可以将该MDT测量激活信息携带在无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control，RRC)建立消息中或者RRC重配置消息中，即基站通过发送RRC建立消息或者RRC重配置消息的方式，向确定的至少一个UE发送MDT测量激活信息。
该MDT测量激活信息用于指示确定的至少一个UE进行相关测量，该MDT测量激活信息中可以携带MDT位置预测测量配置信息。
示例性地，上述MDT位置预测测量配置信息可以包括以下信息中的至少一 个：
位置测量周期、位置预测测量配置有效时间、是否测量经纬度坐标、是否测量和记录所连接小区标识、是否测量导频指纹(例如，当前连接小区以及若干邻区的指定导频信道强度的测量值)、是否测量和记录无线局域网标识、是否测量定位参考信号到达时间差、定位参考信号测量辅助数据(例如，连接小区和邻区的物理小区标识(Physical Cell Identifier，PCI)、小区标识、频点、定位参考信号配置等信息)、是否测量和记录连接小区的连接波束。
S202、基站接收至少一个UE根据MDT测量激活信息发送的MDT测量报告。
步骤S201中确定的至少一个UE接收到基站发送的MDT测量激活信息后，可以根据MDT测量激活信息中的内容进行相应的测量，并响应基站的测量上报请求，或者周期性，或者事件性地以MDT测量报告的形式上报测量结果。
基站接收至少一个UE根据MDT测量激活信息发送的MDT测量报告，其中，MDT测量报告中包含至少一个UE的历史位置测量信息。
可选地，至少一个UE的历史位置测量信息可以包括以下信息中的至少一个：
一个或多个时间点的经纬度坐标、一个或多个时间点的连接小区标识、一个或多个时间点的导频指纹测量值、在一个或多个时间点记录的无线局域网标识、一个或多个时间点的多个小区的定位参考信号到达时间差、一个或多个时间点的连接小区的连接波束标识。
S203、基站通过MDT测量信息消息将至少一个UE的历史位置测量信息发送至位置服务网元。
基站获取至少一个UE发送的MDT测量报告中的历史位置测量信息之后，可以通过MDT测量信息消息的方式将至少一个UE的历史位置测量信息发送至位置服务网元。
可选地，位置服务网元可以为独立于基站的一个单独的网元，也可以为位于基站内部的网元。上述步骤S203的实现方式可以分为以下两种情况：
当位置服务网元为单独的网元时，基站通过其自身与位置服务网元之间的接口将MDT测量信息消息发送至位置服务网元；或者，当位置服务网元为位于基站内部的网元时，基站通过其自身内部的接口将MDT测量信息消息发送至位置服务网元。
S204、基站接收位置服务网元根据历史位置测量信息发送的至少一个UE的第一时间点或第一时间段的预测位置信息。
通过步骤S203基站将MDT测量信息消息发送至位置服务网元后，位置服务网元可以根据通过MDT测量信息消息获取到的至少一个UE的历史位置测量信息确定至少一个UE在第一时间点或第一时间段的预测位置信息，进而将其发送至基站。
基站接收到的至少一个UE的第一时间点或第一时间段的预测位置信息可以为至少一个UE在将来一个时间点或将来一个时间段的预测位置信息。
示例性地，上述预测位置信息可以包括以下信息中的至少一个：
经纬度坐标、所在小区标识、海拔高度信息、连接小区的连接波束标识、所在跟踪区域信息，其中，一个跟踪区域可以由一个小区或多个小区组成。
基站接收到位置服务网元发送的预测位置信息后，可以根据该预测位置信息对相应的UE进行连接管理，以均衡网络负载。例如，基站可以根据一个UE的预测位置信息，针对该UE选择切换或者均衡的目标小区。
在本申请实施例中，由于至少一个UE是基站确定得到的，那么在一种示例中，基站确定至少一个UE的实现方式可以为，基站接收核心网发送的第一消息，该第一消息携带有至少一个UE是否支持MDT预测位置测量的指示，并且，基站接收操作管理维护(Operation Administration and Maintenance，OAM)节点发送的第二消息，该第二消息中携带有预测位置的有效区域信息，进而，基站根据获取到的有效区域信息，在有效区域中确定支持MDT预测位置的至少一个UE。
示例性地，上述第一消息可以为核心网接入和移动性管理功能(Core Access and Mobility Management Function，AMF)节点通过下一代(Next Generation，NG)接口发起的UE初始化上下文建立请求(initial context setup request)消息，或者切换请求(handover request)消息，第二消息可以为OAM节点通过和基站相连的接口发送的MDT激活消息，该MDT激活消息可以用于指示基站开启MDT功能。
在本申请实施例中，并不限定核心网发送第一消息和OAM节点发送第二消息的先后顺序。
在一种示例中，基站确定至少一个UE的实现方式可以为，基站接收核心网发送的第三消息，该第三消息携带有激活对应UE MDT预测位置测量的指示，基站根据第三消息确定至少一个UE。
示例性地，上述第三消息可以为核心网AMF节点通过NG接口发起UEinitial context setup request消息，或者handover request消息，或者跟踪开始(trace start)消息，或者跟踪激活(trace activation)消息。
上述第三消息携带有激活对应UE MDT预测位置测量的指示可以理解为不同的第三消息携带有激活不同UE MDT预测位置测量的指示。例如，基站接收到核心网发送的三个第三消息，该三个第三消息中分别携带有激活UE1MDT预测位置测量的指示、UE2MDT预测位置测量的指示、UE3MDT预测位置测量的指示，那么基站可以基于接收到的该三个第三消息确定出至少一个UE，即为UE1、UE2、UE3。
