Description

定位信息的上报方法及装置
本申请要求于2021年04月02日提交国家知识产权局、申请号为202110365571.5、申请名称为“定位信息的上报方法及装置”的中国专利申请的优先权和于2021年08月24日提交国家知识产权局、申请号为202110975593.3、申请名称为“定位信息的上报方法及装置”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。

背景技术
随着通信技术的快速发展，通信系统对定位技术的精度的要求越来越高。示例性的，定位技术可以包括上行定位技术、下行定位技术和上下行定位技术。
其中，位置管理网元可以基于下行到达时间差(downlink time difference of arrival，DL-TDOA)或多往返时延(multi-round-trip time，Multi-RTT)等定位技术，根据终端设备上报的终端设备与多个接入网网元之间的信号时延，采用对时延进行测量的方式确定终端设备的位置信息；也可以基于下行离开角(downlink time angle of departure，DL-AOD)等定位技术，根据终端设备上报的终端设备与多个接入网网元之间的参考信号接收功率(reference signal received power，RSRP)测量值、以及各个接入网网元的发送波束方向图，采用对角度进行测量的方式确定终端设备的位置信息。
由于信号可以在终端设备与接入网网元之间通过视距(line of sight，LOS)径直线传输，也可以通过非视距(non-line of sight，NLOS)径反射传输或衍射传输，当终端设备基于上述定位技术对接入网网元发送的信号进行测量时，如果终端设备对通过NLOS径进行传输的信号进行测量，会导致终端设备测量得到的信号时延或RSRP误差较大，进而导致位置管理网元确定的终端设备的位置信息的误差较大，影响定位精度。

具体实施方式
随着通信技术的快速发展，高精度定位也逐步被确定为第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd Generation Partnership Project，3GPP)中的第五代移动通信系统(5th generation mobile networks or 5th generation wireless systems，5G)的重要研究项目。其中，新空口(new radio，NR)通信系统中的定位场景可以包括：增强移动宽带(enhanced mobile broadband，eMBB)室外、eMBB室内、高可靠低时延(ultra-reliable and low latency communications，URLLC)和海量机器类通信(massive machine type of communication，mMTC)/物联网(internet of things，IOT)等。同时，还要求通信系统具有高安全性、可扩展性、高可用性以及高速应用中精度保证等特点。随着定位需求和定位场景越来越广泛，对定位精度的要求也越来越高。
其中，定位技术可以包括上行定位技术、下行定位技术和上下行定位技术。其中，上行定位技术中，接入网网元可以对终端设备发送的信道探测参考信号(sounding reference signal，SRS)进行检测；下行定位技术中，终端设备可以对接入网网元发送的定位参考信号(positioning reference signal，PRS)进行检测；上下行定位技术中，终端设备可以对接入网网元发送的PRS信号进行检测，接入网网元也可以对终端设备发送的SRS信号进行检测。
示例性的，下行定位技术可以包括下行到达时间差(downlink time difference of arrival，DL-TDOA)技术和下行离开角(downlink time angle of departure，DL-AOD)技术，上下行定位技术可以包括多往返时延(multi-round-trip time，Multi-RTT)技术。
目前，位置管理网元可以基于DL-TDOA技术或Multi-RTT技术等定位技术，根据终端设备上报的终端设备与多个接入网网元之间的信号时延，采用对时延进行测量的方式确定终端设备的位置信息；位置管理网元也可以基于DL-AOD技术等定位技术，根据终端设备上报的该终端设备与多个接入网网元之间的参考信号接收功率(reference signal received power，RSRP)测量值、以及各个接入网网元的发送波束方向图，采用对角度进行测量的方式确定该终端设备的位置信息。
由于信号可以在终端设备与接入网网元之间通过视距(line of sight，LOS)径进行直线传输，也可以通过非视距(non-line of sight，NLOS)径经过墙面等物体进行反射传输或衍射传输，相比于NLOS径，根据LOS径对应的测量值计算得到的终端设备的位置信息会更准确。当终端设备基于上述定位技术对接入网网元发送的信号进行测量时，终端设备可以选取最早到达的径对应的信号或能量最强的径对应的信号，对信号进行时延或角度的测量。
但是，当终端设备对信号进行时延测量时，若通过NLOS径进行传输的信号和通过LOS径进行传输的信号到达终端设备的时间非常接近时(例如，在一个采样间隔内)，若终端设备对通过NLOS径进行传输的信号进行测量，或由于NLOS径能量过大导致终端设备无法准确检测LOS径，可能导致终端设备测量得到的时延误差较大，进而导致位置管理 网元确定的终端设备的位置信息的误差较大，影响定位精度。
例如，以工作在100MHz带宽为例，若时延误差在一个采样间隔，对应的距离误差为3m。
当终端设备对信号进行角度测量时，如果NLOS径和LOS径距离接近，若终端设备对通过NLOS径进行传输的信号进行测量，可能导致终端设备测量得到的RSRP误差较大，进而导致位置管理网元根据RSRP确定的终端设备的位置信息的误差较大，影响定位精度。另外，终端设备在使用基于角度的定位技术对信号进行测量时，需要在天线面板覆盖的角度范围内(例如，-90°～90°)搜索，对应的终端设备的计算速度和复杂度较高。
需要说明的是，对于距离终端设备较远的接入网网元，角度偏差对定位精度的影响较大。
综上，当终端设备基于上述定位技术对接入网网元发送的信号进行测量时，如果终端设备对通过NLOS径进行传输的信号进行测量，会导致终端设备测量得到的信号时延或RSRP误差较大，进而导致位置管理网元确定的终端设备的位置信息的误差较大，影响定位精度。
为解决该技术问题，本申请实施例提供了一种定位信息的上报方法及装置，其中，终端设备可以获取位置管理网元的包括角度辅助信息的请求位置信息；该角度辅助信息可以用于指示接入网网元相对于终端设备的角度；终端设备可以向位置管理网元发送包括测量结果和测量结果对应的第一指示信息的提供位置信息；测量结果可以为终端设备根据角度辅助信息对接入网网元发送的信号进行测量的结果；第一指示信息用于指示测量结果对应的角度是否位于角度辅助信息指示的角度之内。
本申请实施例中，终端设备可以在或者优先在角度辅助信息指示的角度内，对接入网网元发送的信号进行测量，从而缩小角度搜索范围，降低终端设备对接入网网元发送的信号进行测量的测量误差，同时降低终端设备的处理复杂度，提高计算效率，节省计算时间；同时，终端设备向位置管理网元上报测量结果时，还可以携带指示该测量结果对应的角度或来波方向是否位于角度辅助信息指示的角度之内的第一指示信息，以使位置管理网元根据第一指示信息确定该测量结果对应LOS径还是对应NLOS径，进而根据LOS径对应的测量结果，确定终端设备的位置信息，降低位置管理网元根据终端设备的测量结果确定的终端设备的位置信息的误差，提高定位精度。

基于上述对角度辅助信息的描述，由于终端设备可以持续处于运动状态，姿态和方位可以随时发生变化，终端设备根据角度辅助信息可以判断位置管理网元计算的终端设备的历史位置信息是否准确有效，或者判断自身的定位单元确定的历史位置信息是否有误。
示例性的，如果终端设备的定位单元判断终端设备在一段时间没有移动，但是终端设备接收到的角度辅助信息发生了变化，此时，可以确定位置管理网元计算的终端设备的历史位置信息有误，或者确定终端设备的定位单元发生故障。
又一种示例中，终端设备的定位单元可以确定终端设备的移动方向，终端设备可以结合最新接收到的角度辅助信息预测出下次角度辅助信息的变化，当接收到的角度辅助信息不符合预期时，可以确定位置管理网元计算的终端设备的历史位置信息有误，或者确定终端设备的定位单元发生故障。

其中，提供位置信息可以包括测量结果和测量结果对应的第一指示信息；测量结果可以为终端设备根据角度辅助信息对接入网网元发送的信号进行测量的结果；第一指示信息可以用于指示测量结果对应的角度是否位于角度辅助信息指示的角度之内。
其中，终端设备获取角度辅助信息之后，由于该角度辅助信息对应GCS坐标系，终端设备将该角度辅助信息转换为本地坐标系(local coordinate system，LCS)下的角度，坐标系转换可以通过终端预设的参数，也可以借助自身的惯导或陀螺仪等单元进行测量。基于LCS坐标系进行信号测量，得到测量结果。

其中，ψ表示PRS信号到达终端设备的各个天线阵元的相位差；d表示天线阵元之间的间距；λ表示波长；θ表示到达角。
需要说明的是，当接入网网元与终端设备不在同一高度时，或当需要对终端设备进行三维定位时，终端设备可以将到达角分解在两个平面上。
例如，以终端设备将到达角分解在水平面和垂直面为例，到达角可以包括第一方位角度值和第一天顶角度值。
其中，第一方位角度值可以为终端设备测量的接入网网元相对于终端设备在水平面上的夹角；第一天顶角度值可以为终端设备测量的接入网网元相对于终端设备的方向与天顶方向的夹角。

其中，RSTD可以为第一时刻与第二时刻的差值，第一时刻为接入网网元发送的信号到达终端设备的时刻，第二时刻为参考接入网网元发送的信号到达终端设备的时刻。
例如，如图8所示，以接入网网元包括接入网网元1、接入网网元2和接入网网元3为例，假设终端设备将接入网网元1作为参考接入网网元，则终端设备可以将接入网网元2发送的信号到达终端设备的时刻t2确定为第一时刻，将接入网网元1发送的信号到达终端设备的时刻t1作为第二时刻，将t2-t1作为接入网网元2对应的测量结果RSTD；同理，终端设备可以将接入网网元3发送的信号到达终端设备的时刻t3确定为第一时刻，将接入网网元1发送的信号到达终端设备的时刻t1作为第二时刻，将t3-t1作为接入网网元3对应的测量结果RSTD。
需要说明的是，每一个时间差对应的距离差可以形成一条以该时间差对应的两个接入网网元为焦点的双曲线。
又一种示例中，终端设备可以基于DL-AOD定位技术，对接入网网元发送的下行信号进行测量，得到RSRP。
其中，RSRP可以为波束级RSRP。
例如，如图9所示，终端设备可以对接入网网元发送的PRS信号进行测量，得到每个接入网网元对应的波束级RSRP。
又一种示例中，终端设备可以基于Multi-RTT定位技术，测量得到接入网网元与终端设备之间的往返时延RTT。
例如，如图10所示，以接入网网元在t1时刻向终端设备发送下行信号，终端设备在t2时刻接收到该下行信号，且终端设备在t3时刻向接入网网元发送上行信号，接入网网元在t4时刻接收到该上行信号为例，终端设备可以根据下行信号的发送时间与到达时间，以及上行信号的发送时间和到达时间，将t2-t1+t4-t3确定为接入网网元与终端设备之间的往返时延RTT。
可替换的，终端设备将下行信号的到达时间与上行信号的发送时间的时间差tB＝t2-t3发送给位置管理网元，接入网网元将上行信号的到达时间与下行信号的发送时间的时间差tA＝t4-t1发送给位置管理网元，以使位置管理网元将tA+tB确定为接入网网元与终端设备之间的往返时延RTT。
基于上述四种示例，当测量结果包括到达角时，第一指示信息可以用于指示到达角是否位于角度辅助信息指示的角度之内；当测量结果包括RSTD时，第一指示信息可以用于指示终端设备测量得到该RSTD时的测量角度是否位于角度辅助信息指示的角度之内；当测量结果包括RSRP时，第一指示信息可以用于指示终端设备测量得到该RSRP时的测量角度是否位于角度辅助信息指示的角度之内；当测量结果包括RTT时，第一指示信息可以用于指示终端设备测量得到该RTT时的测量角度是否位于角度辅助信息指示的角度之内。

可选的，提供位置信息为LPP提供位置信息(provide location information)。
进一步的，终端设备向位置管理网元发送提供位置信息之前，还可以根据请求位置信息，在角度辅助信息指示的角度上进行波束赋形，以增强角度辅助信息指示的角度方向上的径的能量，削弱其他反射径的能量，提高终端设备测量得到的信号的角度、时延或RSRP的准确性，从而提高位置管理网元确定的终端设备的位置信息的准确性，提高定位精度。波束赋形也可以描述为空间滤波。
示例性的，如图11所示，以DL-TDOA定位技术为例，141表示终端设备进行了空间滤波，111表示终端设备没有进行空间滤波，LOS表示从测量结果中挑选出LOS径对应的测量结果进行定位计算，NLOS径表示没有对测量结果进行挑选，根据图11可以看出，②在90％处可以达到0.3m的定位精度；④在90％处可以达到1.4m的定位精度；②的定位精度高于④的定位精度，即采用LOS径对应的测量结果进行定位计算，可以提高定位精度。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例中，终端设备可以通过接入网网元、接入和移动性管理网元将提供位置信息发送给位置管理网元。
需要说明的是，通常情况下，终端设备的天线数量有限，且天线部署受限，因此，终端设备的波束赋形能力有限。终端设备接收到的角度辅助信息可以帮助终端设备针对测量结果给出更准确的评估。
示例性的，由于终端设备可以持续处于运动状态，姿态和方位可以随时发生变化，受终端姿态和天线限制，具备波束赋形能力的终端设备可能无法在角度辅助信息所指示的角度上做理想空间滤波，测量结果可能会受多径影响导致误差过大。此时，终端设备可以确定当前没有做到理想空间滤波，将非理想程度量化通过测量质量等参数上报至位置管理网元。位置管理网元在进行位置计算时，可以考虑不采用没有做到理想空间滤波的测量结果进行定位，从而提高定位精度。
另外，当请求位置信息中包括多个接入网网元对应的角度辅助信息时，提供位置信息可以包括多个接入网网元对应的测量结果。
