Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of mobile communication technology, and in particular to a method and apparatus for verifying the location of a terminal device. Background Technology

[0002] In satellite communication scenarios, the long signal transmission distance between the transmitter and receiver results in significant data transmission time. For transmissions involving uplink and downlink connections, a latency parameter is currently introduced to compensate for this delay. To determine this latency parameter, the terminal needs to report its location information. While the terminal can measure and obtain its own location information using its Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and report it to the network, this GNSS-based location information is unreliable to the network. To ensure the reliability of the location information, multi-round trip time (multi-RTT) is currently used to obtain the terminal's location information. However, the rapid movement of satellites can lead to significant location information errors. When the satellite moves in a predetermined direction, a mirrored location may appear, causing location verification to fail. Summary of the Invention

[0081] Embodiments of this disclosure are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting this disclosure.

[0082] In the research of wireless communication technology, satellite communication is considered an important aspect of the future development of wireless communication technology. Satellite communication refers to communication conducted by terrestrial radio communication equipment using satellites as relays. A satellite communication system consists of a satellite component and a terrestrial component. The characteristics of satellite communication are: large communication range; communication can be conducted between any two points within the coverage area of ​​the satellite's emitted radio waves; and it is less affected by land-based disasters (high reliability). As a supplement to the current terrestrial cellular communication system, satellite communication can offer the following advantages:

[0083] Extended coverage: For areas that cannot be covered by current cellular communication systems or where the cost of coverage is too high, such as oceans, deserts, and remote mountainous areas, satellite communication can be used to solve the communication problem.

[0084] Emergency communications: In extreme situations such as disasters like earthquakes that render cellular communication infrastructure unavailable, satellite communications can be used to quickly establish communication connections.

[0085] Provides industry applications: For example, for latency-sensitive services that require long-distance transmission, satellite communication can be used to reduce the latency of service transmission.

[0086] It is foreseeable that in future wireless communication systems, satellite communication systems and terrestrial cellular communication systems will gradually achieve deep integration, truly realizing the Internet of Everything.

[0087] In satellite communication scenarios, the long signal transmission distance between the transmitter and receiver results in significant data transmission time. For transmissions involving uplink and downlink connections, a latency parameter is currently introduced to compensate for this delay. To determine this latency parameter, the terminal needs to report its location information. While the terminal can obtain its own location information based on its GNSS measurements and report it to the network, this GNSS-based location information is unreliable to the network. To ensure the reliability of the location information, multi-RTT methods are currently used to obtain the terminal's location information; however, the rapid movement of satellites can lead to significant errors in the location information. When the satellite moves in a predetermined direction, a mirrored location may appear, causing location verification to fail.

[0088] To address this issue, this disclosure proposes a method and apparatus for verifying the location of a terminal device, which can effectively improve the accuracy of location verification and avoid the problem of the terminal being unable to access the system due to location verification failure.

[0089] The switching method and apparatus provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0090] Figure 1 A schematic flowchart of a terminal device location verification method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 1 As shown, this method is applied to a terminal device and includes the following steps.

[0091] Step 101: Report the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) location information to the network device.

[0092] In embodiments of this disclosure, the terminal device can acquire its own GNSS location information based on its own GNSS measurements and report it to the network device. The GNSS measurement method can employ any existing approach, and this disclosure does not limit the specific implementation of such methods. Furthermore, the terminal device can also employ any existing method to report the acquired GNSS location information to the network device, and this disclosure does not limit the specific implementation of such methods either.

[0093] Step 102: Receive configuration information.

[0094] After the terminal device reports the GNSS location information to the network device, it can receive configuration information. This configuration information may be measurement configuration information sent from the network device to the terminal device, or it may be ephemeris information from neighboring cells. The specific embodiments disclosed herein do not limit this.

[0095] It should be noted that this configuration information can be measurement configuration information, which includes measurement configuration information for measuring neighboring cells of the serving cell. This measurement configuration information may include the following information:

[0096] The data includes the ID of the serving cell neighboring cell to be measured, the measurement pilot configuration information to be measured, the time-domain location information for determining the measurement to be performed, and the measured value.

[0097] It should be noted that the serving cell neighboring cells to be measured are determined by the network device, which then sends the ID of the serving cell neighboring cells to the terminal device. There can be at least one serving cell neighboring cell, or multiple neighboring cells; this is not limited in the specific embodiments of this disclosure, and the specific settings are determined according to actual circumstances. In the embodiments of this disclosure, the measured value can be the Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP), or other related values; this is not limited in the specific embodiments of this disclosure.

[0098] In addition, when the terminal device receives configuration information as ephemeris information of the serving cell's neighboring cells, this ephemeris information records the ephemeris information of the serving satellites of the serving cell's neighboring cells. Based on this information, the terminal can perform relevant measurements on the serving satellites of the serving cell's neighboring cells, thereby verifying the terminal device's GNSS location information. When an error is detected in the terminal device's GNSS location information, the terminal device is triggered to measure the serving cell's neighboring cells and obtain the measurement values.

[0099] Step 103: Measure the neighboring cells of the serving cell based on the configuration information.

[0100] In embodiments of this disclosure, measurements are performed on neighboring cells of the serving cell based on the aforementioned configuration information to obtain measurement values. If there are multiple neighboring cells of the serving cell to be measured, measurements are performed on all of them; specific embodiments of this disclosure do not limit this. If measurement configuration information for target cell measurement is received from the network device, measurements are performed on the neighboring cells of the serving cell according to the measurement configuration information. If the terminal device receives ephemeris information of the neighboring cells of the serving cell, measurements are performed based on the measurement configuration information set by the terminal device. This measurement configuration information also includes the measurement pilot configuration information to be measured, the time-domain location information for determining the measurement, and the measurement value. Specific methods for the terminal to obtain and set the measurement configuration information are not limited in the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0101] Step 104: Send the measurement results to the network device.

[0102] In the embodiments of this disclosure, when the measurement results are sent to the network device, the measurement results may include the measured value and the cell ID corresponding to the measured value. The measured value is determined based on the above measurement, and specific embodiments of this disclosure do not limit this.

[0103] Based on the aforementioned terminal device-side method, embodiments of this disclosure also provide a terminal device location verification method, which is executed by a network device, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0104] Step 201: Receive GNSS location information reported by the terminal device.

[0105] In embodiments of this disclosure, the terminal device can acquire its own GNSS location information based on its own GNSS measurements and report it to the network device. The GNSS measurement method can employ any existing approach, and this disclosure does not limit the specific implementation of such methods. Furthermore, the terminal device can also employ any existing method to report the acquired GNSS location information to the network device, and this disclosure does not limit the specific implementation of such methods either.

[0106] In the embodiments of this disclosure, after the network device receives the GNSS location information reported by the terminal device, it will determine whether the GNSS location information is reliable based on the GNSS location information and the corresponding location positioning method. If it is unreliable, the terminal device will be triggered to measure the neighboring cells of the serving cell, and the reliability of the GNSS location information will be further assisted based on the measurement results of the neighboring cells of the serving cell.

[0107] Step 202: Send configuration information to the terminal device.

[0108] After the terminal device reports the GNSS location information to the network device, it can receive configuration information. This configuration information may be measurement configuration information sent from the network device to the terminal device, or it may be ephemeris information from neighboring cells. The specific embodiments disclosed herein do not limit this.

[0109] Step 203: Receive the measurement results sent by the terminal device, wherein the measurement results are obtained by the terminal device from measuring the neighboring cells of the serving cell.

[0110] In embodiments of this disclosure, the measurement result sent by the terminal device can be a measurement value of the target cell, or the cell ID corresponding to the maximum measurement value selected from the measurement values, or the cell ID corresponding to the maximum measurement value selected from the measurement values ​​along with the maximum measurement value. Specific embodiments of this disclosure do not limit this, and will execute the corresponding verification method based on the specific content received. After receiving the measurement result reported by the terminal device, the network device will further verify the reliability of the GNSS location information reported by the terminal device based on the measurement result. Based on the terminal device's method, the measurement value can be obtained by the terminal device based on network device triggering, or it can be obtained by the terminal device after receiving ephemeris information from neighboring cells. Specific embodiments of this disclosure do not limit this. In embodiments of this disclosure, the measurement value can be the Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), or other related content. Specific embodiments of this disclosure do not limit this.

[0111] Step 204: Verify the reliability of the GNSS location information reported by the terminal device based on the measurement results.

[0112] It should be noted that the reliability of GNSS location information reported by a terminal device is assessed by using the measurement values ​​of neighboring cells in the serving cell. This is based on the premise that if a terminal device is close to a neighboring cell, the measurement value it receives should be higher than that of other distant neighboring cells. Therefore, the reported measurement values ​​of the serving cell's neighboring cells can be used to help verify the reliability of the GNSS location information.

[0113] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the terminal device reports GNSS location information to the network device, receives configuration information, measures neighboring cells of the serving cell based on the configuration information, and reports the measurement results to the network device. The network device receives the GNSS location information and measurement results, and verifies the reliability of the GNSS location information reported by the terminal device. This ensures that the reliability of the location information reported by the terminal device is determined based on the measurement values ​​of the target serving cell's neighboring cells, without being affected by satellite motion mirror location information, thus improving the accuracy of location verification and avoiding the problem of the terminal being unable to access the system due to location verification failure.

[0114] Based on the above method, when reporting the measurement results of neighboring cells of a serving cell, the terminal device can report the measurement values ​​of all neighboring cells to the network device, which then verifies the reliability of the GNSS location information reported by the terminal device based on these measurement values. Alternatively, the terminal device can select the maximum measurement value from all the measured neighboring cells and report the cell ID of the maximum measurement value or the maximum measurement value and its cell identifier to the network device, which then verifies the reliability of the GNSS location information reported by the terminal device based on the cell ID of the maximum measurement value. The embodiments of this disclosure do not limit the specific implementation method. The following will elaborate on different situations.

[0115] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the terminal device reports the measured values ​​of the target cell to the network device, which then verifies the reliability of the GNSS location information reported by the terminal device based on these measurement values. When reporting the first measurement values ​​of all serving cell neighboring cells, the terminal device can either trigger the measurement of the serving cell neighboring cells and report the measurement values ​​based on the network device's triggering, or it can trigger the measurement of the serving cell neighboring cells and report the first measurement value based on the ephemeris information of the serving cell neighboring cells. Specific embodiments of this disclosure do not limit this approach.

[0116] Some embodiments of this disclosure will be specifically illustrated using the example of a terminal device triggering the measurement of neighboring cells of the serving cell based on a network device and reporting the measurement values. Figure 3 As shown, a method for location verification of a terminal device is provided, the method comprising:

[0117] Step 301: The terminal device reports GNSS location information to the network device.

[0118] The embodiments of this disclosure, based on the GNSS location information reported by the terminal device to the network device, can be referred to... Figure 1 The content corresponding to step 101 will not be repeated here.

[0119] Step 302: The network device receives the GNSS location information reported by the terminal device.

[0120] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the network device receives GNSS location information reported by the terminal device, which can be referred to as follows: Figure 2 The content corresponding to step 201 will not be repeated here.

[0121] Step 303: The network device sends the configuration information to the terminal device, the configuration information including the measurement configuration information of the serving cell's neighboring cells.

[0122] It should be noted here that the network device obtains the measurement configuration information of the serving cell neighboring cells to be measured by the terminal device. This measurement configuration information may include the following information:

[0123] The data includes the ID of the serving cell neighboring cell to be measured, the measurement pilot configuration information to be measured, the time-domain location information for determining the measurement to be performed, and the measured value.

[0124] It should be noted that the serving cell to be measured may have at least one neighboring cell, or may have multiple neighboring cells. Specific embodiments of this disclosure do not impose this limitation, and the specific settings are determined according to actual circumstances. In the embodiments of this disclosure, the measured value may be the Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP), or other related values. Specific embodiments of this disclosure do not impose this limitation.

[0125] Step 304: The terminal device receives configuration information sent by the network device, the configuration information including measurement configuration information of neighboring cells of the serving cell.

[0126] Step 305: The network device sends an instruction to the terminal device, the instruction being used to trigger the terminal device to measure the neighboring cells of the serving cell.

[0127] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, it should be noted that the network device determines that the error of the GNSS location information reported by the terminal device is within a predefined range, and sends an instruction to the terminal device. Instructions may also be sent in other circumstances, and the specific embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this. Furthermore, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, it should be noted that when the terminal device receives the measurement configuration information of the serving cell's neighboring cells sent by the network device, it can perform measurements on the serving cell's neighboring cells according to the measurement configuration information to obtain measurement values; alternatively, it can trigger the measurement of the serving cell's neighboring cells after receiving an instruction.

[0128] Step 306: The terminal device receives the instruction and triggers the measurement of the neighboring cells of the serving cell according to the measurement configuration information to obtain the measurement value.

[0129] Furthermore, upon receiving an instruction, if the instruction carries indication information of measurement configuration information for at least two sets of serving cell neighboring cells, the serving cell neighboring cells are measured according to the measurement configuration information indicated by the indication information to obtain measurement values. Specifically, in executing the embodiments of this disclosure, the embodiments of this disclosure do not impose limitations in this regard.

[0130] Step 307: The terminal device sends the measured value to the network device.

[0131] Step 308: The network device receives the measurement value and verifies the reliability of the GNSS location information reported by the terminal device based on the measurement value.

[0132] In embodiments of this disclosure, when verifying the reliability of the GNSS location information reported by the terminal device based on the measured values, the following method may be used, but is not limited to:

[0133] A. Determine the first serving cell neighboring cell closest to the terminal device based on the distance between the network device and the serving cell neighboring network device and the GNSS location information reported by the terminal device.

[0134] In embodiments of this disclosure, a network device can provide services to the terminal device. Based on communication between network devices, the service network device can obtain the distance between neighboring network devices of the serving cell. Based on the distance between the service network device and the neighboring network devices of the serving cell, a neighboring network device that is closest to the terminal device can be selected as the first serving cell neighbor.

[0135] B. Compare the measurement value corresponding to the neighboring cell of the first serving cell with the measurement values ​​of the neighboring cells of other serving cells; if the measurement value corresponding to the neighboring cell of the first serving cell is greater than the measurement value of the neighboring cells of other serving cells, then determine that the GNSS location information reported by the terminal device is reliable.

[0136] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the measurement value corresponding to the neighboring cell of the first serving cell is compared with the measurement values ​​of the neighboring cells of other serving cells; if the measurement value corresponding to the neighboring cell of the first serving cell is greater than the measurement value of the neighboring cells of other serving cells, it indicates that the network device of the neighboring cell of the first serving cell is closest to the terminal device, and the location information reported by the terminal device is not mirrored location information, but reliable location information.

[0137] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, for example, if it is necessary to verify the GNSS location information reported by terminal 1, after terminal 1 reports the GNSS location information, terminal 1 measures the neighboring cells cell1 and cell3 of the serving cell and reports the measured values. After the network device receives the measured values ​​of cell1 and cell3, it determines that the measured value of cell1 (e.g., RSRP) is higher than the RSRP of cell3. Then the network device judges that the terminal is a reliable terminal and the GNSS location information it reports is reliable GNSS location information.

[0138] In embodiments of this disclosure, a terminal device reports GNSS location information to a network device, receives measurement configuration information of neighboring cells of the serving cell, performs measurements on the neighboring cells of the serving cell based on the measurement configuration information, obtains measurement values, and reports these measurement values ​​to the network device. The network device receives the GNSS location information and the measurement values, and verifies the reliability of the GNSS location information reported by the terminal device based on the measurement values. This ensures that the reliability of the location information reported by the terminal device is determined based on the measurement values ​​of the target serving cell's neighboring cells, unaffected by interference from satellite motion mirror location information, thus improving the accuracy of location verification and avoiding the problem of the terminal being unable to access the system due to location verification failure.

[0139] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the terminal device triggers measurements of the serving cell's neighboring cells based on the ephemeris information of the serving cell's neighboring cells and reports the measured values, such as... Figure 5 As shown, a method for location verification of a terminal device is provided, the method comprising:

[0140] Step 401: The terminal device reports GNSS location information to the network device.

[0141] The embodiments of this disclosure, based on the GNSS location information reported by the terminal device to the network device, can be referred to... Figure 1 The content corresponding to step 101 will not be repeated here.

[0142] Step 402: The network device receives the GNSS location information reported by the terminal device.

[0143] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the network device receives GNSS location information reported by the terminal device, which can be referred to as follows: Figure 2 The content corresponding to step 201 will not be repeated here.

[0144] Step 403: The terminal device receives ephemeris information from neighboring cells of the serving cell.

[0145] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, it should be noted that the terminal device can receive ephemeris information of the serving cell neighboring cells sent by the network device.

[0146] Step 404: The terminal device determines that the GNSS location information reported by the terminal has a location verification error based on the ephemeris information, triggers the measurement of the neighboring cells of the serving cell, and obtains the measurement value.

[0147] Step 405: The terminal device sends the measured value to the network device.

[0148] Step 406: The network device receives the measurement value and verifies the reliability of the GNSS location information reported by the terminal device based on the measurement value.

[0149] In embodiments of this disclosure, when verifying the reliability of the GNSS location information reported by the terminal device based on the measured values, the following method may be used, but is not limited to:

[0150] A. Determine the first serving cell neighboring cell closest to the terminal device based on the distance between the network device and the serving cell neighboring network device and the GNSS location information reported by the terminal device.

[0151] In embodiments of this disclosure, a network device can provide services to the terminal device. Based on communication between network devices, the service network device can obtain the distance between neighboring network devices of the serving cell. Based on the distance between the service network device and the neighboring network devices of the serving cell, a neighboring network device that is closest to the terminal device can be selected as the first serving cell neighbor.

[0152] B. Compare the measurement value corresponding to the neighboring cell of the first serving cell with the measurement values ​​of the neighboring cells of other serving cells; if the measurement value corresponding to the neighboring cell of the first serving cell is greater than the measurement value of the neighboring cells of other serving cells, then determine that the GNSS location information reported by the terminal device is reliable.

[0153] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the measurement value corresponding to the neighboring cell of the first serving cell is compared with the measurement values ​​of the neighboring cells of other serving cells; if the measurement value corresponding to the neighboring cell of the first serving cell is greater than the measurement value of the neighboring cells of other serving cells, it indicates that the network device of the neighboring cell of the first serving cell is closest to the terminal device, and the location information reported by the terminal device is not mirrored location information, but reliable location information.

[0154] In embodiments of this disclosure, a terminal device obtains ephemeris information of neighboring cells of the serving cell. Based on the ephemeris information, it determines that a location verification error has occurred in the GNSS location information reported by the terminal. This triggers a measurement of the neighboring cells of the serving cell, obtaining the measurement value. The measurement value is then reported to a network device. The network device receives the GNSS location information and the measurement value. Based on the measurement value, it verifies the reliability of the GNSS location information reported by the terminal device. This ensures that the reliability of the location information reported by the terminal device is determined based on the measurement value of the target serving cell's neighboring cells, unaffected by interference from satellite motion mirror location information. This improves the accuracy of location verification and avoids the problem of the terminal being unable to access the system due to location verification failure.

[0155] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the terminal device determines the target cell with the maximum measured value and reports the target cell ID to the network device. The network device then verifies the reliability of the GNSS location information reported by the terminal device based on the cell ID with the maximum measured value. Figure 6 As shown, a method for location verification of a terminal device is provided, the method comprising:

[0156] Step 501: The terminal device reports GNSS location information to the network device.

[0157] The embodiments of this disclosure, based on the GNSS location information reported by the terminal device to the network device, can be referred to... Figure 1 The content corresponding to step 101 will not be repeated here.

[0158] Step 502: The network device receives the GNSS location information reported by the terminal device.

[0159] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the network device receives GNSS location information reported by the terminal device, which can be referred to as follows: Figure 2 The content corresponding to step 201 will not be repeated here.

[0160] Step 503: The terminal device obtains the measurement values ​​of the neighboring cells of the serving cell.

[0161] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the relevant descriptions regarding the acquisition of measurement values ​​of neighboring cells of the serving cell by the terminal device can be referred to, and will not be repeated here.

[0162] Step 504: The terminal device selects the maximum measurement value from the measured values.

[0163] Step 505: The terminal device sends the maximum measurement value and the cell ID corresponding to the maximum measurement value to the network device.

[0164] Step 506: The network device receives the maximum measurement value and the cell ID corresponding to the maximum measurement value.

[0165] Step 507: The network device determines the first serving cell neighboring cell closest to the terminal device based on the distance between the network device and the serving cell neighboring network device and the GNSS location information reported by the terminal device.

[0166] Step 508: The network device determines whether the cell ID corresponding to the maximum measurement value is consistent with the ID of the neighboring cell of the serving cell; if the cell ID corresponding to the maximum measurement value is consistent with the ID of the neighboring cell of the serving cell, then the GNSS location information reported by the terminal device is confirmed to be reliable.

[0167] In embodiments of this disclosure, the terminal device acquires the measurement values ​​of neighboring cells of the serving cell and obtains the maximum measurement value from all the measurement values ​​of neighboring cells of the serving cell. The maximum measurement value and the cell corresponding to the maximum measurement value are reported to the network device. The network device verifies the reliability of the GNSS location information reported by the terminal device based on the maximum measurement value and the cell corresponding to the maximum measurement value. This ensures that the reliability of the location information reported by the terminal device is determined based on the measurement values ​​of neighboring cells of the target serving cell, without being affected by satellite motion mirror location information. This improves the accuracy of location verification and avoids the problem of the terminal being unable to access the system due to location verification failure.
