TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a positioning measurement reporting method and device, and a positioning measurement configuration method and device. BACKGROUND
[0002] New Radio (NR) supports multiple positioning technologies, including downlink positioning technology, i.e., a technology in which a base station (gNB) transmits a downlink positioning reference signal and a terminal (User Equipment, UE) performs measurement; uplink positioning technology, i.e., a technology in which a terminal transmits an uplink positioning reference signal and a base station performs measurement; and uplink-downlink combined positioning technology, i.e., a technology in which a base station and a terminal transmit positioning reference signals to each other and perform measurement. For the uplink positioning technology and the uplink-downlink combined positioning technology, the terminal needs to transmit an uplink positioning reference signal, and thus involves a timing advance (TA) adjustment amount of the terminal uplink transmission. The related positioning protocol specifies that the transmission time of the uplink positioning reference signal follows the latest TA adjustment amount of the serving cell.

[0093] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the following will be described in detail with the aid of the figures and specific embodiments.
[0094] For the timing measurement quantities that need to send uplink positioning reference signals, such as UL-RTOA (uplink received time of arrival) and UE Rx-Tx time difference (terminal receiving-transmitting time difference), these timing measurement quantities all involve the uplink transmitting time of the terminal, so if the terminal receives the TA adjustment quantity and adjusts the uplink transmitting time during the measurement period, the measurement accuracy will be affected, as shown in the figure. Figure 1 wherein Tx timing is the transmitting time, Rx timing is the receiving time, PRS is the positioning reference signal, and SRS is the sounding reference signal.
[0095] The positioning measurement is similar to the layer 3 measurement, the high layer triggers the request of the positioning measurement, and the positioning measurement reporting, during which the terminal and / or the base station will perform multiple layer 1 measurements, and at the time of reporting, the terminal and / or the base station will filter a plurality of layer 1 measurement quantities. If the terminal receives the TAcommand during the measurement period and adjusts the uplink transmitting time, the transmitting time change caused by the TA adjustment will be introduced when the measurement quantity is filtered, thereby affecting the measurement accuracy.
[0096] That is, the positioning measurement in the related art assumes that the terminal is fixed or moves very slowly during the entire measurement, and the TA is not affected. However, with the positioning enhancement of the communication technology focusing on the vertical industry, the typical scenario is an indoor factory scenario, such as automatic navigation vehicle (AGV) positioning, and the positioning accuracy requirement is centimeter level. In addition, considering that the AGV vehicle moves at a high speed (more than 30 km / h), the TA adjustment may occur during the positioning process, thereby greatly affecting the positioning accuracy.
[0097] The positioning scheme involving the need for the terminal to send an uplink reference signal and the need for timing measurement includes the following three: single RTT + AoA (single station round trip time + uplink angle of arrival positioning), multi-RTT (multi-station round trip time positioning), and UL-TDoA (uplink time difference of arrival positioning). Among them, single RTT + AoA is a single station positioning technology, and the other two are multi-station positioning technologies. For multi-station positioning, it is difficult for the base stations of adjacent areas to obtain the uplink transmission time adjustment amount of the terminal, unless the information exchange between the base stations is standardized or the base station TA adjustment amount is reported, but the delay is relatively large; otherwise, as long as the terminal position changes during the measurement, the measurement accuracy will be affected.
[0098] For the positioning enhancement of the vertical industry, considering the cost of station deployment and the influence of the synchronization error between base stations on the positioning accuracy, the single-station-based positioning scheme has great advantages in application scenarios and deployment cost.
[0099] Embodiments of the present application provide a positioning measurement reporting method and a positioning measurement configuration method and device, which are used for the high-precision single-station positioning scheme for the vertical industry, and solve the influence of the TA adjustment on the positioning accuracy during the measurement without greatly increasing the cost and delay.
[0100] Embodiments of the present application provide a positioning measurement configuration method, which is applied to a network node, such as a positioning server. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the method comprises the following steps:
[0101] Step 101: sending a first measurement configuration message to a first device, wherein the first measurement configuration message carries first indication information, and the first indication information is used to instruct the first device to enable segmented reporting.
[0102] The network node can be a positioning server.
[0103] In the embodiment, the first device performs positioning measurement in a measurement interval in which a TA adjustment amount is maintained unchanged, obtains a positioning measurement quantity, and reports the positioning measurement quantity and second indication information to a network node, the second indication information indicating segmentation information corresponding to the positioning measurement quantity. In this way, after receiving the positioning measurement quantity and the second indication information, the network node can distinguish the measurement interval corresponding to the reported positioning measurement quantity, obtain real position information of the terminal, and improve positioning accuracy of the terminal.
[0104] In some embodiments, after the first measurement configuration message is sent to the first device, the method further includes:
[0105] receiving the positioning measurement quantity and the second indication information reported by the first device, the second indication information indicating segmentation information corresponding to the positioning measurement quantity, the first device including at least a terminal and / or a base station;
[0106] determining position information of the terminal according to the positioning measurement quantity and the second indication information, and sending the position information to the terminal.
[0107] In some embodiments, the first device includes a base station and a terminal; or the first device includes a terminal. Since the positioning accuracy of the uplink-downlink combined positioning technology is high, the first device can include a base station and a terminal, so as to improve the positioning accuracy of the terminal.
[0108] In some embodiments, the first indication information is sent when a service type of the terminal is a preset service type; or
[0109] the first indication information is sent when positioning accuracy of the terminal is less than a first threshold value; or
[0110] the first indication information is sent when a time delay requirement of the terminal is less than a second threshold value.
[0111] In this way, the second indication information is required to be reported by the first device only when the terminal has high positioning accuracy requirement, high time delay requirement, or performs a preset service type, so as to reduce signaling overhead.
[0112] In some embodiments, the first measurement configuration message includes at least one of the following:
[0113] position request information;
[0114] measurement reporting information.
[0115] In some embodiments, when the terminal does not report inertial navigation information, the method further includes:
[0116] sending position compensation indication information to the terminal.
[0117] Embodiments of the present application provide a positioning measurement reporting method, applied to a positioning server, such as Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the method comprises:
[0118] Step 201: Obtain a first measurement configuration message of a network node, wherein the first measurement configuration message carries first indication information, and the first indication information is used to indicate that a first device enables segmented reporting;
[0119] Step 202: Perform positioning measurement to obtain a positioning measurement quantity;
[0120] Step 203: Report the positioning measurement quantity and second indication information to the network node, wherein the second indication information indicates segmented information corresponding to the positioning measurement quantity.
[0121] In the embodiments, the network node can be a positioning server.
[0122] In the embodiments, the first device performs positioning measurement in a measurement interval in which a timing advance (TA) adjustment quantity remains unchanged, obtains a positioning measurement quantity, and reports the positioning measurement quantity and second indication information to the network node, wherein the second indication information indicates segmented information corresponding to the positioning measurement quantity. Thus, after receiving the positioning measurement quantity and the second indication information, the network node can distinguish the measurement interval corresponding to the reported positioning measurement quantity, obtain real position information of the terminal, and improve the positioning accuracy of the terminal.
[0123] In some embodiments, the positioning measurement comprises:
[0124] Performing positioning measurement in a measurement interval in which a timing advance (TA) adjustment quantity remains unchanged.
[0125] In some embodiments, the first device comprises a base station and a terminal; or, the first device comprises a terminal. Since the positioning accuracy of the uplink-downlink combined positioning technology is high, the first device can comprise a base station and a terminal, so as to improve the positioning accuracy of the terminal.
[0126] In some embodiments, the first indication information is included in at least one of the following:
[0127] Position request information;
[0128] Measurement reporting information.
[0129] In some embodiments, the positioning measurement quantity comprises at least one of the following:
[0130] Uplink received time of arrival (UL-RTOA);
[0131] Terminal receive-transmit time difference (UE Rx-Tx time difference);
[0132] Base station receive-transmit time difference gNB Rx-Tx time difference.
[0133] The technical solutions of the present application will be further described below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments:
[0134] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the terminal receives the TAcommand (caused by the change of the terminal position) sent by the serving cell during the measurement period, and specifically, there are two parts of the TA adjustment amount that are maintained unchanged during the measurement period:
[0135] (1) Before the TA adjustment amount takes effect, the terminal adjusts the uplink transmission time according to the old TA adjustment amount, at this time the terminal is at position A, and the real position information expected to be obtained by the terminal is position B;
[0136] (2) After the TA adjustment amount takes effect, the terminal adjusts the uplink transmission time according to the new TA adjustment amount, at this time the terminal is at the real position B.
[0137] The terminal or the base station filters the layer 1 measurement quantity obtained by measuring in the measurement interval with unchanged TA, and reports it to the positioning server; in order to make the terminal obtain the real position information, it is necessary to let the positioning server distinguish the measurement interval corresponding to the reported positioning measurement quantity, that is, it is necessary to let the positioning server obtain which TA the positioning measurement quantity is based on when receiving the positioning measurement quantity. Therefore, when the terminal and / or the base station report the positioning measurement quantity, an associated indication field (i.e. the second indication information) needs to be carried to tell the positioning server this information. For example, when the terminal and / or the base station report the positioning measurement quantity, a 1bit measurement interval indication is carried, if the measurement interval indication is 0, it corresponds to the old TA; if the indication is 1, it corresponds to the new TA.
[0138] In this embodiment, the positioning server can indicate whether the terminal and / or the base station enables the interval measurement reporting according to the information such as the type of service triggered by the network side, the positioning accuracy and the delay requirement, that is, whether to report the second indication information. For example, when the triggered positioning service is the navigation of AGV small car, the AGV small car has the characteristics of fast moving speed, and it has higher requirements for positioning accuracy and delay, then the interval measurement reporting can be enabled in the information such as the position request and measurement reporting in the high layer signaling (LPP protocol or NRPPa protocol), as shown below, if the information such as the position request and measurement reporting includes the "TASegment-r16" field, it represents that the interval measurement reporting is enabled, and the "TASegment-r16" field is the first indication information.
[0139]
[0140] If the inter-division measurement reporting is enabled, the terminal and / or the base station filters the layer 1 measurement quantity obtained by measuring in the measurement interval with the unchanged TA.
[0141] If the inter-division measurement reporting is enabled, when the terminal and / or the base station reports the positioning measurement quantity, an indication field (i.e., second indication information) associated with the multiple positioning measurement quantities is additionally carried in the positioning measurement quantity message to tell the positioning server which TA adjustment quantity corresponds to a certain positioning measurement quantity, as shown below. The field "nr-UE-RxTxTimeDiff-r16" is the second indication information.
[0142]
[0143] Among them, the second indication information is carried in the message of the terminal reporting the timing measurement quantity to the positioning server according to the long term evolution positioning protocol (LPP protocol); and the second indication information is carried in the message of the base station reporting the timing measurement quantity to the positioning server according to the new radio positioning protocol (NRPPa protocol).
[0144] In the related art, the terminal and / or the base station carries the timestamp information when reporting the positioning measurement quantity. When calculating the position of the terminal, the positioning server uses the timestamp (measurement time of the positioning measurement quantity) and inertial navigation information (terminal moving speed, acceleration, direction, etc.) to compensate the real position of the terminal and send it to the terminal. For the terminal that does not support reporting the inertial navigation information, the positioning server can also carry the position compensation indication when sending the position information to indicate the terminal to compensate the real position information by itself.
[0145] The embodiment mainly aims at the high-precision single station positioning scheme for vertical industries, and can solve the influence of TA adjustment on positioning accuracy during measurement without greatly increasing the overhead and delay.
[0146] The embodiment of the application provides a positioning measurement configuration device, which is applied to a network node, such as a positioning server. Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the device comprises:
[0147] The sending module 31 is configured to send a first measurement configuration message to the first device, and the first measurement configuration message carries first indication information, and the first indication information is used to instruct the first device to enable segmented reporting.
[0148] The network node can be a positioning server.
[0149] In the embodiment, the first device performs positioning measurement in a measurement interval in which a TA adjustment amount is maintained unchanged, obtains a positioning measurement quantity, and reports the positioning measurement quantity and second indication information to a network node, the second indication information indicating segmentation information corresponding to the positioning measurement quantity, so that the network node can distinguish the measurement interval corresponding to the reported positioning measurement quantity after receiving the positioning measurement quantity and the second indication information, obtain real position information of the terminal, and improve positioning accuracy of the terminal.
