具体实施方式
这里将详细地对示例性实施例进行说明,其示例表示在附图中。下面的描述涉及附图时,除非另有表示,不同附图中的相同数字表示相同或相似的要素。以下示例性实施例中所描述的实施方式并不代表与本公开相一致的所有实施方式。相反,它们仅是与如所附权利要求书中所详述的、本公开的一些方面相一致的装置和方法的例子。
相关技术中,终端基于蜂窝网络与无线接入设备、核心网设备等无线网络设备进行通 信,可以实现定位测量功能。例如,在NR Rel-16中,主要讨论了针对连接态(connected)下的终端的定位测量,定义了用于定位的参考信号。用于定位的参考信号例如可以包括用于下行定位的PRS、用于上行定位的SRS。而定位测量包括终端测量和无线网络设备测量,测量值包括信号强度测量侧,信号传输时间值以及信道到达或出发的角度值。
为了实现定位,需要终端与多个无线网络设备(例如基站/TRP等)进行定位用途的参考信号的传输。一示例中,如果是下行,终端需要接收并测量多个基站/TRP发送的PRS。如果是上行,终端需要向多个基站/TRP发送SRS。由于PRS和SRS占用带宽大,需要的发送功率大,故会影响终端功耗,同时定位参考信号发送的同时,其它正常通信传输不能进行,影响整个系统的正常通信。
相关技术中,除了利用蜂窝网络进行定位,还有很多其它的定位方法,比如基于无线局域网设备(Wireless Local Area Network terminal,WLAN terminal)的定位方法。基于WLAN terminal的定位,主要是终端与多个WLAN terminal之间传输用于定位的参考信号,并进行测量,基于测量结果和WLAN terminal的位置进行计算,得出终端位置。由于WLAN terminal离终端比较近,所以如果终端发送上行用于定位的参考信号,则终端的发送功率也不需要太大,能够减少终端自身的功耗,同时减少对其他终端的干扰,不会影响其他终端的正常通信。
有鉴于此,本公开实施例提供一种定位测量方法,在该定位测量方法中,联合终端与不同类型定位节点之间传输的定位用途参考信号(以下称为定位信号),以降低单纯基于一种类型定位节点进行定位测量的功耗影响,提高通信系统通信性能。
可以理解的是,本公开实施例中涉及的定位节点也可称为定位设备,或者称为网络设备,无线网络设备。
一示例中,提供一种蜂窝网络和WLAN网络联合的定位方法。比如,终端可以利用一个基站/TRP和多个WLAN terminal传输定位用途参考信号,并进行测量,根据测量结果以及基站/TRP和多个WLAN terminal的位置计算出终端位置,减少定位对终端功耗的影响,以及对蜂窝网络系统正常通信的影响。
本公开中涉及的终端,也可以称为终端设备、用户设备(User Equipment,UE)、移动台(Mobile Station,MS)、移动终端(Mobile Terminal,MT)等,是一种向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备,例如,终端可以是具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、车载设备、物联网设备(Internet of Things,IoT)、工业物联网设备(Industry Internet of Things,IIoT)等。目前,一些终端的举例为:智能手机(Mobile Phone)、口袋计算机(Pocket Personal Computer,PPC)、掌上电脑、个人数字助理(Personal Digital Assistant,PDA)、笔记本电 脑、平板电脑、可穿戴设备、或者车载设备等。此外,当为车联网(V2X)通信系统时,终端设备还可以是车载设备。应理解,本公开实施例对终端所采用的具体技术和具体设备形态不做限定。
本公开实施例中为描述方便,将联合定位测量中使用的不同类型定位节点(或设备)中的至少两个类型的定位节点称为第一类型定位节点和第二类型定位节点。其中,终端与第一类型定位节点之间进行通信实现定位测量所传输的定位信号称为第一定位信号,终端与第二类型定位节点之间进行通信实现定位测量所传输的定位信号称为第二定位信号。
本公开实施例中,第一类型定位节点和第二类型节点使用不同无线接入技术分别与终端进行通信。一示例中,第一类型定位节点包括基于蜂窝网络进行通信的无线网络设备,例如,可以包括基站等无线接入网设备,也可以包括定位管理功能实体(LMF)等核心网设备。进一步的,本公开中涉及的无线接入网设备可以是:基站、演进型基站(evolved node B,基站)、家庭基站、无线保真(wireless fidelity,WIFI)系统中的接入点(access point,AP)、无线中继节点、无线回传节点、传输点(transmission point,TP)或者发送接收点(transmission and reception point,TRP)等,还可以为NR系统中的gNB,或者,还可以是构成基站的组件或一部分设备等。应理解,本公开的实施例中,对网络设备所采用的具体技术和具体设备形态不做限定。

首先对终端测量的方法进行说明。其中,针对终端测量的方法流程如下:
1.终端接收第一配置信息和第二配置信息。
其中,第一配置信息用于配置终端与基站/TRP(可能是M个基站/TRP)之间的第一定位信号(PRS和/或SRS)的传输及测量。第二配置信息用于配置终端与WLAN terminal(可能是N个WLAN terminal)之间的第二定位信号(WLAN的beacon)的传输及测量。
其中,第一配置信息和第二配置信息均来自LMF和/或基站。
2.LMF和/或基站获取第二配置信息。
其中,如果是LMF发送的第二配置信息,那么第二配置信息也可以是由WLAN通过与基站之间的接口发送给基站,基站再发送给LMF。
i.而在获取第二配置信息之前,还进一步可能包含LMF通过基站请求WLAN的可用于与终端之间定位的资源配置信息,然后WLAN再回复该配置信息。
a)一种方式中,WLAN收到来自基站的定位资源配置信息请求时,如果WLAN正好有T时间之内通过定位得出的终端的位置信息,则WLAN可以直接将终端的位置信息通过与基站和/或LMF之间的接口反馈给LMF和/或基站。而与终端位置信息一同发送给LMF和/或基站的信息中,还可以包含时间T的值,和/或第二配置信息。
ii.而在获取第二配置信息之后,还进一步可能包含LMF和/或基站发送指示信息,以指示WLAN启动配置信息中的定位用途参考信号的传输。
3.终端根据配置信息进行第一定位信号和第二定位信号的传输及测量,其中,测量包含信号强度测量、时间测量和/或角度测量中的至少一种。
4.终端获得与基站/TRP之间的第一测量结果,获得与WLAN terminal之间的第二测量结果。
5.终端位置的计算
i.如果是终端计算终端位置,那么第一配置信息还要包含基站/TRP的位置信息,第二配置信息还要包含WLAN terminal的位置信息。终端基于第一测量结果、第二测量结果、基站/TRP的位置信息和WLAN terminal的位置信息计算出终端位置。
ii.如果是基站或LMF计算终端位置,终端将第一测量结果、第二测量结果上报给基站或LMF。WLAN terminal将自身的位置信息通过WLAN terminal与基站和/或LMF之间的接口发送给基站和/或LMF。一种方式中,如果是LMF计算,WLAN terminal将自身的位置信息通过WLAN terminal与基站之间的接口发送给基站,基站还需将自身的位置信息和WLAN terminal的位置信息上报给LMF。
进一步的,基站或LMF计算终端位置后,还可以将计算出来的终端位置反馈给终端。
其次,对基站测量的方法进行说明。其中,针对基站测量的方法流程如下:
1.LMF和/或基站发送第一配置信息和第二配置信息。其中,第一配置信息用于配置终端与基站/TRP(可能是M个基站/TRP)之间的第一定位信号(PRS和/或SRS)的传输及测量。第二配置信息用于配置终端与WLAN terminal(可能是N个WLAN terminal)之间的第二定位信号(WLAN的beacon)的传输及测量。
2.基站和/或LMF获取第二配置信息。
其中,如果是LMF发送的第二配置信息,且第二配置信息是由WLAN通过与基站之间的接口发送给基站,则基站获取到由WLAN通过与基站之间的接口发送基站的第二配置信息后,再发送给LMF。
i.而在获取第二配置信息之前,还进一步可能包含LMF通过基站请求WLAN的可用于与终端之间定位的资源配置信息,然后WLAN再回复该配置信息。
a)一种方式中,WLAN收到来自基站的定位资源配置信息请求时,如果WLAN正好有T时间之内通过定位得出的终端的位置信息,则WLAN可以直接将终端的位置信息通过与基站和/或LMF之间的接口反馈给LMF和/或基站。而与终端位置信息一同发送给LMF和/或基站的信息中,还可以包含时间T的值,和/或第二配置信息。
ii.而在获取第二配置信息之后,还进一步可能包含LMF和/或基站发送指示信息,以指示WLAN启动配置信息中的定位用途参考信号的传输。
3.基站接收终端根据第一配置信息发送的第一定位信号并测量,测量包含信号强度测量、时间测量和/或角度测量中的至少一种,得出第一测量结果。
4.WLAN terminal接收终端根据第二配置信息发送的第二定位信号并测量,测量包含信号强度测量、时间测量和/或角度测量中的至少一种,得出第二测量结果。
5.WLAN terminal将第二测量结果通过与基站之间的接口发送给基站,如果第二配置 信息已经包含WLAN terminal的位置信息,则不需要再发送;否则,WLAN terminal的位置信息可以与第二测量结果一起发送给基站。
6.终端位置的计算
i.针对基站计算终端位置,基站基于第一测量结果、第二测量结果、基站的位置信息以及WLAN的位置信息确定终端的位置,进一步还可以将终端位置反馈给终端。
ii.如果是LMF计算终端位置,基站还需要将第一测量结果、第二测量结果、基站位置信息和WLAN的位置信息上报LMF。LMF基于第一测量结果、第二测量结果、基站的位置信息以及WLAN的位置信息确定终端的位置。
进一步LMF可以将计算出来的终端位置反馈给终端。
