技术领域
本申请涉及无线通信技术领域，具体而言，本申请涉及定位方法、定位装置及非暂态计算机可读存储介质。
背景技术
现有技术中，指纹定位(Finger-Printing positioning)也称为模式匹配定位(Pattern-Matching positioning)，指纹定位对于克服NLOS(Non Line of Sight，非视距)的影响具有很好的效果，指纹定位的方案是利用接收到的信号指纹与预先构造的位置指纹库进行匹配，以实现对目标UE(User Equipment，用户设备)的定位。该方案主要由构建位置指纹库的离线训练阶段和进行指纹匹配的在线定位阶段两部分组成。构建位置指纹库的离线阶段，主要完成各监测站捕获信号指纹的整理以及监测区域内各位置的指纹采集；进行指纹匹配的在线定位阶段，主要完成目标UE的指纹与数据库的匹配及最终的位置估计。例如，针对蜂窝网进行指纹定位，离线训练阶段下，采集已知位置的参考UE的CSI(Channel State Information，信道状态信息)作为指纹，基于采集的指纹构建指纹库；在线定位阶段下，根据未知位置的目标UE的CSI指纹与构建好的指纹库进行匹配，选择最优匹配的位置坐标作为目标UE的位置。
