具体实施方式Detailed ways
下文中将参考附图并结合实施例来详细说明本发明的实施例。Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
需要说明的是,本发明的说明书和权利要求书及上述附图中的术语“第一”、“第二”等是用于区别类似的对象,而不必用于描述特定的顺序或先后次序。It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.
本发明实施例提供了一种本地定位架构,包括:应用服务器、定位服务器、基站。本地定位架构区别于协议定义的基于核心网的定位架构,如图1所示,对比本地定位架构和核心网定位架构,本地定位架构相比核心网定位架构存在以下优点:The embodiment of the present invention provides a local positioning architecture, including: an application server, a positioning server, and a base station. The local positioning architecture is different from the core network-based positioning architecture defined by the protocol. As shown in FIG1 , the local positioning architecture has the following advantages over the core network positioning architecture:
1、本地定位架构网元部署简单,仅在本地部署定位服务器、应用服务器;而核心网架构,需要依赖核心网的多个网元,如:接入和移动性管理功能(Access and Mobility Management Function,AMF)网元、位置管理功能(Location Management Function,LMF)网元、统一数据管理功能(The Unified Data Management,UDM)网元、移动网关位置中心(Gateway Mobile Location Centre,GMLC)网元等。1. The local positioning architecture network element deployment is simple, and only the positioning server and application server are deployed locally; while the core network architecture needs to rely on multiple network elements of the core network, such as: Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) network element, Location Management Function (LMF) network element, Unified Data Management (UDM) network element, Gateway Mobile Location Centre (GMLC) network element, etc.
2、本地定位架构流程交互简单,不涉及核心网多网元间的交互。2. The local positioning architecture process interaction is simple and does not involve interaction between multiple network elements in the core network.
3、本地定位架构中,本地数据流和定位信令流仅在本地传输,不涉及大网的传输,从而保证了数据的安全性、定位低时延。3. In the local positioning architecture, local data streams and positioning signaling streams are only transmitted locally and do not involve transmission over the large network, thus ensuring data security and low positioning latency.
