Description

一种定位方法、装置、终端、网络设备及介质
相关申请的交叉引用
本申请主张在2022年11月03日在中国提交的中国专利申请No.202211368671.4的优先权，其全部内容通过引用包含于此。
技术领域
本公开涉及通信技术领域，特别是指一种定位方法、装置、终端、网络设备及介质。
背景技术
在未来通信场景中，可通过移动通信网络节点(包括卫星、热气球、飞行器或空间站等非地面通信网络(Non-terrestrial network，NTN)中的非地面通信网络节点或部署于公交、地铁等地面通信网络节点)对数据进行分发/转发。以NTN为例，如图1和图2所示，非地面通信网络节点与网关通过馈线链路(feeder link)相连，非地面通信网络节点与用户设备通过服务链路(service link)相连。随着非地面通信网络节点移动，服务链路(非地面通信网络节点与用户设备(User Equipment，UE)间链路)会发生变更，这对于UE来说，需要进行物理小区标识(Physical Cell Identifier，PCI)变更。NTN中，小区分为固定小区(如伪地球固定小区(Quasi-earth-fixed cell))和移动小区(moving cell case)，其中，移动小区为随着卫星移动而移动的小区，小区垂直于地面；固定小区为在某一时间段内服务固定地理区域的卫星下的小区，该时间段内小区的中心位置不变。
目前网络无法直接获取UE的位置信息，即使可以获取UE基于全球导航卫星系统(Global Navigation Satellite System，GNSS)的位置信息，网络认为终端所上报的位置信息可能不精确或存在虚假可能，需要基于无线网络进一步验证终端位置，如对至少对终端进行粗粒度的定位。
而现有的定位流程依赖于非接入层(Non-access stratum，NAS)，所有流程都需要通过与位置管理服务(Location Management Function，LMF)的多 轮交互进行统筹确认。对于NTN场景下，多轮NAS信令的传输需要耗费大量时间，且由于卫星单一波束(小区)覆盖面积大，即使已经不是服务质量最好的小区终端仍能检测到还不错的质量，此外，由于卫星是移动的，传统固定三个基站得到位置的方案并不能解决位置验证的问题，另外卫星的移动性也需要减少配置过程带来的影响、更快得到定位结果。

如果定位配置携带有指示该定位配置类型为终端位置验证时，可使该定 位配置生效，可选地，该定位配置可以在第一时间段内持续生效，终端在第一时间段内始终按照该定位配置执行定位流程，这样可保证即使终端切换到了不同的小区，仍不释放原有的定位相关配置，避免了重复配置流程带来的时延和信令开销。
具体地，步骤32具体包括：若在第一时间段内发生小区变更，保持定位配置信息不变，并按照定位配置信息执行定位流程。

4、如若定位配置类型为终端位置验证，不释放定位相关配置，即使终端处于切换/重选/重建等流程中。这样可保证终端即使切换到了不同的小区，不释放原有定位相关配置，避免重复配置流程带来的时延和信令开销。
5、网络设备根据预先配置列表(例如，服务网络节点的临近网络节点或 根据星历图/公交时刻表/高速公路/高铁等)，进行配置。

4、终端在切换/重选等流程中不释放定位相关配置。例如，如定位配置或定位请求指示的定位配置类型为UE位置验证，则不释放。
5、终端发送SRS，SRS包括以下至少一种：时间戳、服务小区ID。或者，终端后续上报以下至少一种：时间戳、服务小区ID。
6、终端上报时间差(如终端所预估发信号到卫星的时间/终端所预估信号到基站的时间等)；
7、网络设备不释放相应配置，测量终端的上行参考信号和/或接收时间差，并进行根据时间戳/服务小区ID等辅助信息和信号质量，计算终端位置。
8、第二网络设备给第一网络设备上报参考信号测量结果，具体可以为终端位置(例如可以为虚拟区域ID、绝对位置、在预设位置的指示)，测量结果(包括时间戳和/或PCI，该时间戳为测量结果所对应时间)，和/或时间差(终端所预估发信号到卫星的时间/UE所预估信号到基站的时间等)；其中，第一网络设备为LMF，第二网络节点为基站。具体位置计算方式可以为：利 用多个所接收SRS中的时间戳1、测量到SRS的时间戳2、已知时间戳2所对应的卫星位置等来计算。
9、网络设备基于位置结果更新TA。
下面以移动小区场景为例对上行定位流程进行说明。
NTN的移动小区场景中，单一卫星，(非)服务小区不更新定位配置，上行(Uplink，UL)-TDOA定位方法

2、基站下发定位相关配置，包括：上行定位参考信号，有效时间，终端验证类型标识。
3、终端/服务小区(PCI1)接收定位相关配置。
4、如图4所示，t1～t2在有效时间内，终端持续发送SRS，SRS中携带时间戳/服务小区ID。
5、卫星1上的服务小区(PCI1)根据配置测量终端发送的SRS。
6、T3时刻，终端切换到卫星1承载的其他小区(PCI2)，不释放标识为终端位置验证的定位相关配置(可基于基站内部实现)。
7、T3时刻，网络不释放相应配置，PCI2基于原有配置测量终端发送的SRS和/或时间差。基站结合3个时刻的测量(测量结果与SRS所携带的时间戳和PCI绑定)与测量到SRS的时间戳与相应的卫星本身位置信息，计算到两条双曲线，双曲线的焦点即为终端位置。
其中，本公开实施例中，卫星波束和小区的对应关系有两种可能，一种是波束和小区一一对应，此时一个卫星下的多个波束分别对应各自的小区，但由于同属于同一个卫星，关于UE位置验证的相关配置参数可以保持(网络侧控制是否保持)；另一种是波束和小区为多对一的情况，此时一个卫星下的某几个波束对应同一个PCI，因此对应同一PCI的波束覆盖小区在终端看来即使波束更换，PCI也没有变换，即终端感受不到小区变换，则不会释放关于终端验证的相关配置参数。如果变换了PCI但还同属于同一个卫星，则同样的由网络侧控制是否可以保持关于终端验证的相关配置参数。其中，网络设备关于定位的相关配置可参考下表：

该实施例的定位方法中，终端接收定位配置，当定位配置指示终端位置验证时定位配置生效，终端可按照定位配置执行定位流程，这样在对于NTN场景，可利用在移动的同一个卫星或固定小区场景中同PCI对应的不同卫星，分时段对终端进行定位相关配置与定位参考信号测量，得到UE的位置，更节约信令开销、降低时延。

该网络设备可以为基站或LMF。该定位配置携带有与定位相关的配置信息，如定位配置类型、定位参考信号的配置信息等。
