If the receiving end detects data damage, it will request to resend the damaged data packet through the reverse channel of the 5G network until the complete and intact data is received; in the 5G network, for positioning A dedicated low-latency channel is reserved for data packets to ensure that the data packets can reach the user device with minimal delay, which usually involves dynamic spectrum access technology and multiple access technology, such as orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA); encrypted and compressed data packets are sent through the high-speed data link layer protocol of the 5G network (such as LTE or NR), and the high bandwidth and low latency characteristics of the 5G network are used to achieve efficient transmission; the positioning application on the user device receives the data packet and decrypts the data packet using a shared key or a private key; the integrity of the data packet is verified using a CRC or MD5 checksum, and a retransmission request is triggered if the data packet is damaged; the decrypted data packet is decompressed to restore the original data structure; the positioning application parses data in JSON or XML format, extracts the positioning results and predicted location, and updates the user interface to display the current and predicted location information.

[0110] Example 2

The signal processing phase included data preprocessing, time synchronization, dynamic weight allocation, and prediction algorithm training. Finally, the positioning accuracy evaluation phase compared the system's performance in different environments and compared it with traditional positioning technologies.

[0116]

[0117]

[0118] By conducting an in-depth analysis of the data in the above table, we can clearly see the advantages of the present invention under various environmental conditions. First, the system achieved the lowest time synchronization error (0.3μs) and position prediction error (2.1m) in the 5G-dominated environment of blocks A and D. Even in underground parking lot C with weak signals, the automatic selection of Bluetooth positioning technology keeps the positioning error within a reasonable range (3.2m).

[0119] The average signal strength reflects the quality of signal reception. The average signal strength of 5G in blocks A and D is -75dBm and -78dBm, which is significantly better than other technologies. In addition, power consumption data shows that the system maintains low energy consumption while efficiently positioning, averaging 120-130mAh / hour, which has little impact on the battery life of mobile devices.

[0120] The high scores of user satisfaction (90%-92%) indicate that the system not only provides accurate positioning services, but also provides a good user experience, especially in terms of response speed, with the average positioning time delay being only 11-15ms.

[0121] To sum up, the 5G collaborative positioning system of the present invention has significant creativity and novelty in terms of signal processing efficiency, positioning accuracy, response speed and energy consumption management compared with the single technology positioning method. Especially in the complex and changeable urban environment, the system can automatically adapt to and select the most suitable positioning technology, greatly improving the flexibility and reliability of positioning.
