Its high precision and global coverage make it the preferred positioning and timing technology in many scenarios, including the Internet of Things, agriculture, aerospace, etc. However, in closed spaces blocked by physical barriers such as concrete walls and metal structures (such as underground parking lots, large buildings, and tunnels), external GNSS signals are blocked, and the signal coverage and accuracy in the space are limited, making it difficult to meet the positioning and timing needs in such environments.

[0051] In terms of indoor positioning, many current solutions rely on technologies such as wireless networks, Bluetooth beacons and UWB, but are still limited by coverage and cost.

The embodiment of the present application realizes a wide range of GNSS signal coverage by transmitting the optional forwarding or regenerating multi-band GNSS signal through the standard room-based system facilities at this stage, which can support stable and continuous positioning and timing inside and outside the closed space without changing the signal. The present invention does not require large-scale deployment of base stations and facilities, reduces construction and maintenance costs, and has better economic benefits. In addition, the equipment can optionally support 4 / 5G mobile communications, ensuring real-time transmission and remote control of data, and improving the flexibility and application scope of the equipment.

[0053] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below through specific examples.

[0054] refer to Figure 1 , the positioning system of the embodiment of the present application includes:

[0055] Global navigation satellite system signal acquisition module (optional GNSS acquisition unit), timing module, global navigation satellite system signal processing module (GNSS processing module) and room distribution feed interface (room distribution POI feed interface);

[0061] refer to Figure 2 , is a schematic diagram of the structure of an active receiving and forwarding antenna according to an embodiment of the present application

[0062] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the optional GNSS acquisition unit includes a GNSS signal forwarding receiving antenna and a GNSS regeneration source, which are used to collect outdoor GNSS signals or regenerate GNSS satellite signals. A multi-mode GNSS navigation system that supports forwarding or regeneration can be optionally configured to ensure that the device can obtain stable GNSS signals in different environments through efficient signal acquisition.

[0063] The optional support for forwarding or regenerating multi-mode navigation systems includes GPS, Beidou (BDS), etc., and is highly adaptable to single Beidou systems.

The specific frequency band can be selected according to the environment in which the device is located and the selected navigation system.

[0064] Among them, for the regenerative acquisition method, it mainly relies on the GNSS regeneration source to simulate the real GNSS satellite signal in the closed space, and then connects to the processing module for further processing. For the forwarding acquisition method, the receiver is deployed in the open space outside various closed spaces, and is equipped with lightning arresters and other equipment to avoid affecting the original indoor antenna and feed system. Furthermore, for indoor positioning environments and positioning requirements such as underground parking lots, it is necessary to determine the performance indicators of the GNSS receiver that can achieve lossless acquisition based on the characteristics of the selected multi-mode and multi-frequency GNSS signal. Secondly, as the RF front end, the performance of the receiving antenna will affect the quality of the indoor GNSS signal coverage performance. This patent uses an active receiving and forwarding antenna composed of a high-precision GNSS receiving antenna, a bandpass filter, a low-noise amplifier, etc., which reduces the design difficulty and cost, and can meet the GNSS signal solution requirements in indoor spaces.

[0065] In some embodiments, the timing module includes a high-precision clock; the high-precision clock is used to provide a high-stability and high-precision clock source to provide an accurate time reference for the global navigation satellite system signal.

The timing module is composed of a main high-precision clock, which can provide a high-stability and high-precision clock source and provide an accurate time reference for the forwarded or regenerated GNSS signal.

[0067] The timing module is connected to the optional acquisition unit on the one hand to achieve real-time reception of high-precision GNSS signals, and is connected to the GNSS processing module through the serial port on the other hand to provide time information and clock signals as time-frequency references for the GNSS signals.

[0068] In some embodiments, the GNSS signal processing module comprises a multi-mode multi-frequency GNSS signal receiving module, a radio frequency processing module and a storage and program control module; the multi-mode multi-frequency GNSS signal receiving module, the radio frequency processing module and the storage and program control module are connected in sequence;

[0069] The multi-mode multi-frequency GNSS signal receiving module is used to receive the collected and / or regenerated GNSS signal and use the clock signal provided by the timing module as a time-frequency reference;

[0070] The radio frequency processing module is used to perform data screening and filtering on the global navigation satellite system signal received by the multi-mode multi-frequency global navigation satellite system signal receiving module, and to amplify and reduce noise on the global navigation satellite system signal after screening and filtering;

[0072] In some embodiments, the multi-mode and multi-frequency global navigation satellite system signal receiving module includes an analog-to-digital converter, a zero intermediate frequency and a filter; the analog-to-digital converter is used to convert the received analog global navigation satellite system signal into a digital signal; the zero intermediate frequency is used to directly down-convert the received global navigation satellite system signal to a baseband frequency; and the filter is used to remove unnecessary frequency components in the global navigation satellite system signal.

[0073] In some embodiments, the RF processing module includes a global navigation satellite system signal surface acoustic filter, a low power noise amplifier and a programmable attenuator; the global navigation satellite system signal surface acoustic filter is used to filter out unnecessary global navigation satellite system signals; the low power noise amplifier is used to amplify weak global navigation satellite system signals; the programmable attenuator is used to adjust the strength of the global navigation satellite system signal to reach a desired level.

[0075] refer to Figure 3 , is a schematic diagram of the structure of the global navigation satellite system signal processing module of an embodiment of the present application.

[0076] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the collected GNSS signals are processed and forwarded by the GNSS processing module, including two parts: signal fusion and signal amplification. The signal fusion part mainly classifies and processes the collected signals according to the requirements of the solution algorithm, screens satellites with strong signals, filters out low-value data, and adds specific reference information to meet the solution requirements of the subsequent algorithm; the signal amplification part mainly amplifies the power of the original satellite signal to avoid being buried in the original mobile signal of the indoor distribution system, causing the situation that the solution cannot be made, while achieving full coverage of the GNSS signal.

[0077] Specifically, the multi-mode multi-frequency GNSS receiving module first receives the collected signal and performs preliminary processing; then, the RF processing module further filters and amplifies the signal; the filtered GNSS signal passes through the storage and program control module to store relevant information and analyze the GNSS positioning data. This processing unit is the core part of realizing the fine forwarding and processing of GNSS signals and the analysis of positioning observations.

[0078] The multi-mode and multi-frequency GNSS receiving module is composed of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a zero intermediate frequency, a filter, etc., and is connected to an optional GNSS acquisition unit, responsible for accessing the collected forwarded or regenerated GNSS signals, and using the clock signal provided by the timing module as a time-frequency reference.

[0079] ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter): Converts the received analog GNSS signal into a digital signal for subsequent digital signal processing.

Among them, the program control module can further support GNNS satellite signal analysis functions according to the optional data, including but not limited to all information that can be provided by the selected GNSS system such as ephemeris, pseudorange, carrier phase, Doppler, carrier-to-noise ratio, etc., and can be sent to the terminal via the network connection module to support local timing or positioning solution. In addition, the key control and display can adjust the amplification and display of the GNSS signal.

[0087] DDR memory: used to store temporary data and running program data, providing fast read and write access, and supporting the processor to perform efficient data processing and calculations.

[0088] Nand-flash memory: used to store long-term data, such as firmware, configuration information, and historical data. This type of memory is non-volatile, meaning that data is not lost after a power outage.

[0089] Processor MCU: Responsible for performing various control and processing tasks, including GNSS data solution, data management, condition judgment and communication with other modules. It is the core control unit of the system.

[0090] In this embodiment, the processed GNSS signal will be connected to the indoor distribution feed interface for forwarding and distribution.

[0091] The communication interface includes but is not limited to an Ethernet interface, a serial interface (RS-232 or RS-485), a USB interface, etc., which facilitates the close coupling of the device with the indoor distributed system and the interaction with other devices to support the stable transmission of GNSS signals in complex indoor environments.

[0092] The standard indoor distributed systems at this stage include passive indoor distributed systems (including leaky cables) and active indoor distributed systems. The passive indoor distributed system uses high-power distributed base station RRU as the signal source, and the radio frequency signal is split through passive devices, and distributed to each pair of antennas and leaky cables installed in various areas of the closed space via feeders or leaky cables; the active indoor distributed system is generally composed of a baseband unit, a remote convergence unit and a wireless radio frequency unit, and all the equipment is active, which is used to solve the coverage and capacity absorption problems in high-traffic scenarios.

The information interaction with the system server is mainly used for remote management and built-in parameter modification to improve the flexibility and reliability of the system; the information interaction with the positioning terminal is mainly used for the transmission of data required for positioning such as optional information and GNSS analysis information to support terminal timing or positioning solution within the coverage area of ​​the equipment.

[0097] The networking module supports 4G / 5G mobile communications and can be optionally compatible with the mainstream frequency bands of China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom.

[0098] It can be seen from the above embodiments that the positioning system described in the embodiments of the present application includes: a global navigation satellite system signal acquisition module, a timing module, a global navigation satellite system signal processing module and a room-based feed-in interface; the global navigation satellite system signal acquisition module is connected to the global navigation satellite system signal processing module for forwarding and / or regenerating global navigation satellite system signals, and transmitting the global navigation satellite system signals to the global navigation satellite system signal processing module for processing; the timing module is connected to the global navigation satellite system signal processing module for providing a clock signal for the global navigation satellite system signal; the room-based feed-in interface is connected to the global navigation satellite system signal processing module for receiving the processed global navigation satellite system signals, and forwarding and distributing the global navigation satellite system signals.
