Embodiment Construction

[0028] The technical solutions of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0029] The flow chart of an embodiment of the method for locating a terminal of the present invention is as follows figure 1 shown.

[0030] In step 101, the macro base station receives a positioning request for a dual connectivity terminal from a core network. The location request may be sent by the MME (Mobility Management Entity, mobility management entity) of the core network to the macro base station through a Location Reporting Control message. A dual-connect terminal works like this figure 2 shown. The dual connectivity terminal is respectively connected to the macro base station and the small base station, and the macro base station (MeNB) carries service 1, such as http service, and the small base station (SeNB) carries service 2, such as FTP service.

[0031] In step 102, the macro base station obtains t...

Abstract

The invention provides a method and network element for positioning a terminal, and relates to the technical field of communication. The method for positioning the terminal comprises that a macro base station receives a positioning request from a core network to a dual-connection terminal; the macro obtains a small base station cell identifier of a small base station at which the dual-connection terminal is located; and the macro base station reports positioning information based on the small base station cell identifier to the core network. Through adoption of the method, the small base station cell identifier is obtained specific to the positioning request of the core network to the dual-connection terminal, the positioning information based on the small base station cell identifier is reported, therefore the precision of the positioning terminal is improved, and an operator can provide differentiated service based on the positioning information based on the small base station cell identifier conveniently.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of communications, in particular to a terminal positioning method and a network element. Background technique [0002] With the development of LTE (Long Term Evolution Technology), the mobile access network will provide a shared bandwidth of 100M, realizing the march towards the era of mobile broadband Internet. The rise of applications such as the mobile Internet has put forward higher requirements for operators' networks. How to provide users with on-demand, flexible experience and personalized services, while achieving refined and differentiated operations, and thus improving the value of channels is a key issue for operators. Problems to be solved. Combining the policy control capability of PCRF (Policy and Charging Rule Function) with the LTE network location reporting capability can provide operators with more refined and differentiated service options. [0003] According to the existing 3GPP...
