Description

Technical Field

[0002] 5G high-precision positioning technology combines 5G networks with high-precision positioning algorithms. Leveraging the high speed, low latency, and large number of connections of 5G networks, combined with high-precision positioning algorithms, it enables seamless, high-precision location services both indoors and outdoors. This technology is crucial for providing high-precision, low-cost location services that bridge the "last mile" from outdoor to indoor locations.

[0003] In the 5G high-precision positioning technology, the corresponding UL-TDOA, UL-AoA and UL E-CID positioning technologies that are not available in 4G are introduced. The principle of these technologies is to use the TRP on the base station to measure the terminal signal, and combine the TRP position and test data to calculate the spatial position and global position of the terminal. In order to support these positioning technologies, the NRPPa protocol (NR Positioning Protocol A) for signaling and data transmission between the base station and the 5G positioning network element LMF is also introduced. According to the latest TS 3GPP 38455-i00, 38413-i00 and 38305-i00 protocols, in the high-precision positioning process, regardless of whether the positioning uses UL-TDOA, UL-AoA, UL E-CID or other positioning technologies, the NRPPa protocol that supports signaling and data transmission in the entire high-precision positioning process are all transmitted directly in plain text in the 5G core network and 5G access network. If the 5G core network and 5G access network equipment are not deployed in the same computer room, and the remote deployment method is commonly used, then the plain text transmission of NRPPa message data will have security risks and can be easily intercepted by the outside world and obtain the TRP information and terminal location information on each base station.

[0031] The 5G high-precision positioning device includes a 5G core network and a 5G access network. The 5G access network is used to communicate with terminals and provide the terminals with the network services of the 5G core network. The 5G core network includes LMF network element 10, AMF network element 30, GMLC network element, and NEF network element.

The NRPPa protocol is carried by the AMF network element 30 and the LMF network element 10 using the http2 protocol message, which has a security encryption function. Different from the prior art in which the AMF network element 30 and the 5G base station 20 use the plaintext NGAP protocol message, the AMF network element 30 and the 5G base station 20 in this application use the asymmetric encrypted NRPPa protocol, wherein the messages sent by the AMF network element 30 to the 5G base station 20 do not need to be encrypted, and the messages sent by the 5G base station 20 to the LMF network element 10 and containing key data need to be encrypted using an asymmetric encryption method. The key data includes the spatial position and wireless characteristics of the TRP21, the location parameters of the base station collected by the TRP21, etc. The location parameters can be the wireless angle between the 5G base station 20 and the terminal, or the round-trip time of the wireless information between the 5G base station 20 and the terminal, depending on the currently used positioning technology.

[0036] The LMF network element 10 also decrypts the TRP information response and the positioning measurement response based on the data encryption private key to obtain the TRP position data and the positioning parameters of the terminal, calculates the position signal of the terminal based on the TRP position data and positioning parameters of TRP21 in the 5G base station 20, and calculates the position of the terminal based on the TRP position data and positioning parameters of TRP21 in the 5G base station 20.

Specifically, in step 100, the LMF network element 10 obtains the encrypted TRP location data of multiple TRPs 21 sent by the 5G base station 20, and then the LMF network element 10 decrypts the TRP location data of multiple TRPs 21.

[0040] In step 200, upon receiving a positioning request from a terminal, the LMF network element 10 exchanges positioning data with the 5G base station 20 to obtain the terminal positioning parameters fed back by the 5G base station 20. Specifically, in step 200, the LMF network element 10 obtains the encrypted terminal positioning parameters measured by multiple TRPs and fed back by the 5G base station 20, and then the LMF network element 10 decrypts the terminal positioning parameters measured by multiple TRPs 21.

When the LMF network element 10 periodically sends a TRP information request to the 5G base station 20 subsequently, the TRP information request does not include the data encryption public key. Of course, the LMF network element 10 may also not carry the data encryption public key in any TRP information request, but instead pre-configure matching data encryption private keys and data encryption public keys in the LMF network element 10 and the 5G base station 20 through other network elements or modules, or the LMF network element 10 may send the data encryption public key to the 5G base station 20 for storage separately before the TRP information request.

[0053] Preferably, the 5G base station 20 with TRP21, when interacting with the LMF network element 10 for TRP information, also communicates with the terminal to prepare wireless resources to facilitate subsequent signal measurement of the terminal. Specifically, the 5G base station 20 prepares the measured wireless resources for the corresponding terminal, and when the LMF initiates the NRPPa positioning activation request, it activates the wireless resources of the corresponding terminal and feeds back the positioning activation result to the LMF network element 10.

[0063] In a second embodiment, the 5G base station 20 performs partial data encryption on only the positioning parameters in the positioning measurement response according to the data encryption public key. This solution implements partial encryption of core data without encrypting the entire message.

[0064] S25. The 5G base station 20 feeds back the encrypted positioning measurement response to the LMF network element 10.
