Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of wireless communication, and in particular to an information processing method, related equipment, a storage medium and a computer program product. BACKGROUND

[0002] Currently, as shown in the following table, the following schemes exist when a base station performs positioning: an uplink time difference of arrival (UTDOA) scheme; a round trip time (RTT) scheme; and an angle of arrival (AOA) scheme. Figure 1 The UTDOA scheme and the RTT scheme estimate using the time delay of signal propagation, and require multiple base stations (for example, the next generation NodeB (gNB)) to simultaneously serve a same user equipment (UE). Figure 2 The AOA scheme estimates using the angle of signal, and also requires multiple gNBs to serve a same UE, so that positioning of the UE can be achieved through multiple gNBs.

[0003] In a scenario of jointly positioning a UE through angles, multiple gNBs need to convert the angles, so as to achieve joint positioning of the UE based on the converted angles.

[0004] However, since the angle information of the antenna panel changes, angle errors occur when multiple gNBs jointly position, thereby resulting in inaccurate positioning results. SUMMARY

[0081] The application will be described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

[0082] In related art, for the angle of a signal, a base station usually estimates the angle based on a local coordinate system, that is, the angle obtained by the base station is a relative angle of a UE with respect to an antenna panel (for example, the UE is 10 degrees in front and left of the base station), and is not a global angle (for example, the UE is 10 degrees east and north of the base station). Therefore, in a scenario of joint positioning by multiple base stations, the base station needs to convert the global coordinates.

[0083] In order to convert the global coordinates, the base station needs the direction angle, the downtilt angle and other angles (which can also be referred to as mechanical angles) of the antenna panel. The angles are usually determined by artificial means when the base station is deployed, that is, after the base station is deployed, these angles cannot be obtained again. However, the angles change over time, which causes spatial angle errors when multiple base stations jointly position, which brings great challenges to high-precision angle estimation of joint positioning by multiple base stations.

[0084] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 6, it is assumed that the height of the base station is 25 meters, the beam width β is 10°, and the downtilt angle a of the base station has a corresponding relationship with the coverage distance d. As shown in Table 1, when the downtilt angle of the base station changes from 3° to 8°, the corresponding coverage distance decreases from 368.7 meters to 100.9 meters. Figure 3

[0085] Downtilt 3 4 5 5 7 8 Coverage distance 368.7 257.2 192.5 150.7 121.8 100.9

[0086] Table 1

[0087] ​As can be seen from Table 1, when the mechanical angle of the base station changes slightly, the coverage range corresponding to the base station will change greatly. In the scenario of multi-base station joint perception, since each base station needs to perform angle estimation and conversion, especially for non-direct target objects, a large spatial angle error will be generated.

[0088] To solve the mechanical angle error of the antenna panel, one implementation scheme is to install high-precision sensors such as gyroscopes, low-magnetic sensors or inclination sensors on each antenna, so as to complete the calibration of the angle deviation of the antenna panel by using the sensor information. However, the above scheme will greatly increase the cost of base station deployment, and at the same time, in order to realize the information transmission of different base stations, the signaling interaction process also needs to be increased. Another implementation scheme is to add a high-performance base station with high-precision sensors and a narrow beam, and perform angle estimation on other base stations (also referred to as neighboring base stations) through the added high-performance base station, so as to complete the calibration of the angle deviation of the antenna panel. However, considering that the uplink and downlink time slots of different base stations are the same, the information transmission between base stations cannot be realized.

[0089] Based on this, in various embodiments of the present application, the angle calibration of the antenna panel of the base station is completed through the added high-performance base station and the user, that is, after positioning and perception of the UE by the high-performance base station, the perceived user is taken as a new calibration reference, so that other base stations can obtain the angle calibration deviation, so as to obtain accurate global angles when converting angles in the future, thereby providing a basis for angle estimation of multi-base station joint positioning. In this way, the angle calibration capability of the base station can be provided, and at the same time, the construction cost of upgrading the base station is kept low.

[0090] The embodiment of the present application provides an information processing method, as shown in Figure 4 The method is applied to a first network device, and includes the following steps.

[0091] Step 401: receiving first information sent by one or more terminals, wherein the first information is used to determine the position information of the one or more terminals in a global coordinate system;

[0092] Step 402: determining third information by using the first information and second information, wherein the second information includes the antenna angle information and / or the position information in the global coordinate system of the first network device, the third information includes the position information of the one or more terminals in the global coordinate system, and the third information is used to determine the deviation value of the antenna angle of one or more second network devices;

[0093] Step 403: sending the third information to the one or more second network devices.

[0094] In actual application, the first network device can be referred to as a sensing high-performance base station, a sensing high-performance base station, an anchor base station, or a high-performance cell base station, and the like. The name of the first network device is not limited in the embodiments of the present application, as long as the function thereof is realized.

[0095] In an embodiment, the first network device satisfies one or more (or at least one) of the following conditions:

[0096] The beam range of the first network device is less than a first threshold value.

[0097] The angle resolution of the first network device is greater than a second threshold value.

[0098] The first network device has a measurement function of an antenna angle.

[0099] The first network device has a positioning function in a global coordinate system.

[0100] In actual application, in order to enable the first network device to have the measurement function of the antenna angle, a sensor (such as an angle sensor) can be arranged on the first network device, so that the first network device can measure the antenna angle through the sensor. The antenna angle can include mechanical angles such as a downtilt angle and an azimuth angle corresponding to the antenna. The type of the antenna angle is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. For example, the first network device calculates parameters of a gyroscope and a geomagnetic sensor on an antenna panel through the sensor, thereby obtaining the antenna angle.

[0101] In addition, the beam range of the first network device being less than the first threshold value can be understood as that the first network device has a relatively narrow beam range; and the angle resolution of the first network device being greater than the second threshold value can be understood as that the first network device has a relatively high angle resolution. The values of the first threshold value and the second threshold value can be set as needed, such as being set according to the beam range and / or the angle resolution of the second network device, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0102] Here, for the positioning function in the global coordinate system, the first network device can determine the position information (such as coordinates) of the first network device in the global coordinate system through a satellite positioning system or a measurement manner. The global coordinate system can include a coordinate system defined with the earth as a reference system, such as a geodetic coordinate system.

[0103] In actual application, before step 401, the first network device can allocate resources to the terminal, so that the terminal can perform information transmission with the first network device based on the allocated resources.

[0104] Based on this, in an embodiment, the method can further include:

[0105] sending fourth information to the one or more terminals, the fourth information being used for requesting relevant information of the one or more second network devices;

[0106] receiving fifth information sent by the one or more terminals, the fifth information containing first relevant information of the one or more second network devices;

[0107] determining sixth information by using the fifth information, and sending the sixth information to the one or more terminals, the sixth information representing resources allocated to the one or more terminals.

[0108] The one or more terminals can contain one or more terminals that have accessed the first network device. The second network device can contain a base station or a cell adjacent to the one or more terminals, and can be referred to as a neighbor base station or a neighbor cell. The name of the second network device is not limited in the embodiments of the present application, as long as the function thereof is realized.

[0109] In actual application, in the process of initial access, each terminal of the one or more terminals can measure the cell of one or more network devices adjacent to the terminal, and select to access the first network device based on the measurement result. In the above process, each terminal can obtain the first relevant information of one or more second network devices adjacent to the terminal. Then, after receiving the fourth information, each terminal can send corresponding fifth information to the first network device, the fifth information containing the first relevant information of one or more second network devices corresponding to the terminal. The terminal can complete the reporting of the first relevant information through uplink resources.

[0110] Here, for each terminal, the terminal can receive the sensing signal sent by the one or more second network devices, thereby measuring the one or more second network devices and obtaining the corresponding first relevant information. Then, based on the pre-configured access criterion, the terminal can access the first network device instead of the second network device.

[0111] In an embodiment, the first relevant information contains one or more (or at least one) of the following:

[0112] Seventh information, the seventh information being used for identifying the second network device;

[0113] Eighth information, the eighth information being used for indicating the transmission beam associated with the second network device;

[0114] Ninth information, the ninth information being used for indicating the reception beam associated with the second network device;

[0115] The tenth information is used for indicating a transmission delay between the first network device and the second network device.

[0116] The seventh information can be understood as an identifier of the second network device, the eighth information can be understood as a beam (also referred to as an optimal transmission beam) used by the second network device when performing information transmission with the terminal, and the ninth information can be understood as a beam (also referred to as an optimal reception beam) used by the terminal when performing information transmission with the second network device, for example, a beam with the shortest air interface propagation delay (also referred to as a transmission delay) is used as the reception beam. For the tenth information, the terminal can calculate a first transmission delay between the terminal and the first network device and a second transmission delay between the terminal and the second network device, respectively. The transmission delay between the first network device and the second network device can be obtained by calculating the difference between the first transmission delay and the second transmission delay.

[0117] For example, it is assumed that the one or more terminals include a terminal A, the terminal A can measure the second network device 1 and the second network device 2, and obtain first related information 1 corresponding to the second network device 1 and first related information 2 corresponding to the second network device 2. The first related information 1 includes an optimal reception beam r_1 of the terminal A for information transmission with the second network device 1, an optimal transmission beam t_1 of the second network device 1, and a delay difference tau_1 between the first network device and the second network device 1. The first related information 2 includes an optimal reception beam r_2 of the terminal A for information transmission with the second network device 2, an optimal transmission beam t_2 of the second network device 2, and a delay difference tau_2 between the first network device and the second network device 2.

[0118] In actual application, after receiving the fifth information sent by the one or more terminals, the first network device can allocate resources (such as time domain resources, frequency domain resources, or space domain resources) to the one or more terminals based on the fifth information. In this process, the first network device can screen and group the terminals, and allocate resources to the terminals in a group manner to avoid interference between the terminals.

[0119] Specifically, in an embodiment, the determination of the sixth information based on the fifth information includes:

[0120] The one or more terminals are divided based on the fifth information, and one or more first sets are obtained, each first set is associated with a second network device, and each first set includes one or more terminals.

[0121] The one or more first sets are allocated resources, and the sixth information is obtained.

[0122] The first set can be referred to as a user group or a user set, and the like. The name of the first set is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0123] In actual application, the first network device can determine one or more terminals that report the same first related information of the second network device based on the fifth information reported by each terminal. The corresponding first set can be obtained by dividing the determined one or more terminals.

[0124] For example, if terminal A reports the first related information 1 of the second network device 1, and terminal B reports the first related information 1 of the second network device 1, since terminal A and terminal B report the same first related information 1 of the second network device, the first network device can combine terminal A and terminal B to obtain the first set 1. In addition, if terminal A also reports the first related information 2 of the second network device 2, and terminal C reports the first related information 2 of the second network device 2, the first network device can combine terminal A and terminal C to obtain the first set 2.

[0125] Here, after obtaining the one or more first sets, the first network device can allocate resources (also referred to as sensing resources) to the one or more first sets to obtain the sixth information. The allocated resources can include time domain resources, frequency domain resources, and space domain resources, and the like. The type of the resources is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. Then, the first network device can send the sixth information to the terminals included in the one or more first sets, so that the terminals can know how to perform information transmission with the first network device and / or the second network device in the future, that is, which resources to use to perform information transmission with the first network device and / or the second network device.

[0126] In actual application, the first network device can also send the one or more first set related information to the one or more second network devices, so that the one or more second network devices can know how to perform information transmission with the terminals in the future.

[0127] Based on this, in an embodiment, the method can further include:

[0128] The eleventh information corresponding to the one or more first sets is determined by using the fifth information. The eleventh information includes one or more (or at least one) of the following:

[0129] The eighth information is used to indicate the transmission beam associated with the second network device;

[0130] The tenth information is used to indicate the transmission delay between the first network device and the second network device;

[0131] The twelfth information is used for identifying the terminal in the first set;

[0132] The determined eleventh information is sent to the one or more second network devices.

[0133] The twelfth information can be understood as the terminal identifier (such as terminal ID) corresponding to the first set.

[0134] Here, in actual application, in the case that the first network device and the one or more second network devices are connected through an optical fiber, the first network device can send the determined eleventh information to the one or more second network devices through the optical fiber; of course, the first network device can also send the determined eleventh information to the one or more second network devices through a communication interface (such as Xn interface), and the embodiments of the present application do not limit the information transmission mode between the first network device and the second network device.

[0135] In actual application, in the case that the sixth information is received, the terminal included in the one or more first sets can send the first information to the first network device based on the sixth information; wherein the first information can be sent in the form of a signal; that is, in step 401, the first network device can receive the signal sent by the terminal included in the one or more first sets, and the signal carries the first information.

[0136] Here, in the case that the signal is received, the first network device can position the terminal included in the one or more first sets based on the signal. Specifically, the first network device can determine the third information based on the angle information (which can also be understood as direction information) of the signal, the time delay information, and the second information, the second information can be understood as the global position information (such as global coordinates) of the first network device, and the third information can be understood as the global position information (such as global coordinates) of the terminal included in the one or more first sets; wherein, in the case that the first network device has a positioning function in the global coordinate system, the second information can include the position information of the first network device in the global coordinate system; in the case that the first network device has an antenna angle measurement function, the second information can include the antenna angle information of the first network device; in the case that the first network device has a positioning function in the global coordinate system and an antenna angle measurement function, the second information includes the antenna angle information and the position information in the global coordinate system of the first network device.

[0137] Exemplarily, assuming that the first set contains terminal A and terminal B, the first network device can determine, according to the time delay and the angle of the signal corresponding to the first set, position information 1 of terminal A relative to the first network device (for example, the position of terminal A is 60° left of the first network device and 300 meters away from the first network device), and position information 2 of terminal B relative to the first network device (for example, the position of terminal A is directly in front of the first network device and 160 meters away from the first network device); according to the position information 1, the antenna angle information of the first network device and the position information in the global coordinate system, the first network device can determine position information 3 of terminal A in the global coordinate system, and according to the position information 2, the antenna angle information of the first network device and the position information in the global coordinate system, the first network device can determine position information 4 of terminal B in the global coordinate system.

[0138] In actual application, after obtaining the third information, the first network device can send the third information to the one or more second network devices, so that the one or more second network devices subsequently determine the deviation value of the antenna angle, thereby realizing joint positioning of the terminals by the plurality of second network devices.

[0139] Exemplarily, in the case that the first network device and the one or more second network devices are connected through an optical fiber, the first network device can send the third information to the one or more second network devices through the optical fiber.

[0140] Correspondingly, the embodiment of the present application also provides an information processing method, such as Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the method is applied to a second network device, and the method comprises the following steps:

[0141] Step 501: receiving third information sent by a first network device, wherein the third information contains position information of one or more terminals in a global coordinate system;

[0142] Step 502: determining fourteenth information by using the third information and thirteenth information, wherein the thirteenth information contains position information of the one or more terminals relative to the second network device, and the fourteenth information represents a deviation value of an antenna angle of the second network device.

[0143] In actual application, the thirteenth information can be understood as relative position information (such as relative coordinates) or local position information (such as local coordinates) of the terminals contained in the one or more first sets.

[0144] In actual application, before step 502, the second network device needs to obtain the thirteenth information.

[0145] Based on this, in an embodiment, the method can further comprise:

[0146] receiving fifteenth information sent by one or more terminals, the fifteenth information being used to determine location information of the one or more terminals relative to the second network device;

[0147] obtaining thirteenth information by using the fifteenth information.

[0148] In actual application, in a case where the sixth information is received, the terminals included in the one or more first sets can send the fifteenth information to the one or more second network devices based on the sixth information; wherein the fifteenth information can be sent in a manner of a signal; that is, the second network device can receive a signal sent by the terminals included in the one or more first sets, and the signal carries the fifteenth information.

[0149] Here, in order to receive the fifteenth information, the second network device can determine a receiving manner of information based on the one or more first set related information sent by the first network device.

[0150] Based on this, in an embodiment, the method can further include:

[0151] receiving eleventh information sent by the first network device, the eleventh information including one or more of the following:

[0152] eighth information, the eighth information being used to indicate a sending beam associated with the second network device;

[0153] tenth information, the tenth information being used to indicate a transmission delay between the first network device and the second network device;

[0154] twelfth information, the twelfth information being used to identify a terminal in the first set;

[0155] receiving fifteenth information sent by one or more terminals by using the eleventh information.

[0156] Here, in a case where the eleventh information is received, the second network device can determine a specific manner of receiving the fifteenth information corresponding to the one or more terminals by using the eleventh information.

[0157] Specifically, in an embodiment, the one or more terminals include a first terminal and a second terminal; and the receiving the fifteenth information sent by one or more terminals by using the eleventh information includes:

[0158] determining a first sending beam associated with the first terminal and a second sending beam associated with the second terminal by using the eighth information included in the eleventh information;

[0159] In a case where the first sending beam is different from the second sending beam, the first terminal and the second terminal transmit the fifteenth information respectively by using the first sending beam and the second sending beam.

[0160] In a case where the first sending beam is the same as the second sending beam, the first terminal and the second terminal transmit the fifteenth information respectively by using the first sending beam and the second sending beam in a manner of time diversity or frequency diversity.

[0161] The first sending beam can be understood as a beam used by the second network device when the second network device transmits information to the terminal reported by the first terminal, and the second sending beam can be understood as a beam used by the second network device when the second network device transmits information to the terminal reported by the second terminal.

[0162] In actual application, in a case where the first sending beam is different from the second sending beam, the second network device can receive the fifteenth information transmitted by different terminals respectively by using different sending beams; in a case where the first sending beam is the same as the second sending beam, the second network device can receive the fifteenth information transmitted by different terminals respectively by using different resources in a manner of time diversity or frequency diversity, so as to avoid interference.

[0163] Here, in a case where the fifteenth information is received in a manner of signal, the second network device can locate the terminal contained in the one or more first sets based on the received signal. Specifically, the second network device can obtain the thirteenth information based on angle information and time delay information of the signal.

[0164] In actual application, after obtaining the thirteenth information, the second network device can calibrate the thirteenth information by using the third information, so as to obtain the fourteenth information. The fourteenth information can contain a difference between an angle corresponding to an initial antenna panel of the second network device and an angle corresponding to a real-time antenna panel. In this way, calibration of the antenna angle of the second network device is realized.

[0165] Exemplarily, assuming that the first set contains terminal A and terminal B, the second network device calibrates the relative position information of terminal A (i.e., the thirteenth information corresponding to terminal A) by using the global position information of terminal A (i.e., the third information corresponding to terminal A), to obtain the antenna tilt angle 1 of the second network device; calibrates the relative position information of terminal B (i.e., the thirteenth information corresponding to terminal B) by using the global position information of terminal B (i.e., the third information corresponding to terminal B), to obtain the antenna tilt angle 2 of the second network device; and obtains the deviation value of the antenna angle of the second network device based on the antenna tilt angle 1 and the antenna tilt angle 2, i.e., the fourteenth information.

[0166] Here, after completing the calibration of the antenna angle of the second network device, the second network device can save the fourteenth information, so as to subsequently realize joint positioning of the terminals by multiple second network devices based on the fourteenth information.

[0167] Based on this, in an embodiment, the method can further include:

[0168] receiving the sixteenth information sent by the one or more terminals, the sixteenth information being used to request the angle information of the one or more terminals;

[0169] based on the sixteenth information, measuring to obtain the seventeenth information, the seventeenth information containing the angle information of the one or more terminals relative to the second network device;

[0170] using the seventeenth information and the fourteenth information, determining the eighteenth information, the eighteenth information containing the angle information of the one or more terminals.

[0171] Here, the seventeenth information can be understood as the relative angle information of the one or more terminals, and the eighteenth information can be understood as the angle information of the one or more terminals in the global coordinate system, i.e., global angle information.

[0172] In actual application, in the scenario of joint positioning by multiple second network devices, each second network device can receive the sixteenth information through a signal mode, and measure to obtain the seventeenth information based on the received signal; using the saved fourteenth information and the seventeenth information, each second network device can determine the corresponding eighteenth information, so as to subsequently realize accurate positioning of the one or more terminals through the corresponding eighteenth information of multiple second network devices, thus improving the accuracy of the positioning result.

[0173] The information processing method provided in the embodiments of the present application comprises the following steps: a first network device receives first information sent by one or more terminals, wherein the first information is used to determine position information of the one or more terminals in a global coordinate system; third information is determined by using the first information and second information, wherein the second information comprises antenna angle information and / or position information in the global coordinate system of the first network device, the third information comprises position information of the one or more terminals in the global coordinate system, and the third information is used to determine a deviation value of an antenna angle of one or more second network devices; and the third information is sent to the one or more second network devices; and the second network device determines fourteenth information by using the third information and thirteenth information, wherein the thirteenth information comprises position information of the one or more terminals relative to the second network device, and the fourteenth information represents a deviation value of an antenna angle of the second network device. The technical scheme provided in the embodiments of the present application is that, after the first network device completes positioning of the terminals, the second network device can take the positioning result of the terminals as a calibration reference to obtain a calibration deviation of the antenna angle, so that, in a subsequent joint positioning scenario, the second network device can realize accurate conversion of a signal angle based on the calibration deviation of the antenna angle, and then can realize accurate positioning of the terminals, that is, the accuracy of the positioning result is improved.

[0174] The present application will be further described in detail in combination with application examples.

[0175] The mechanical angle of a base station antenna is often determined by manual means when the base station is deployed, and the mechanical angle of the antenna cannot be obtained again after the base station is deployed. However, the mechanical angle (for example, a downtilt angle) will change over time, which causes the angle of the antenna to change, and this causes a spatial angle error problem when multiple base stations cooperatively position, and affects the accuracy of the positioning result.

[0176] To solve the above technical problem, in the application examples of the present application, an antenna angle calibration system is provided, as shown in Figure 6 The system comprises a high-performance cell base station (that is, the first network device described above) and a plurality of adjacent cell base stations (that is, the second network devices described above, such as adjacent cell base station 1 and adjacent cell base station 2). The high-performance cell base station is used to complete global positioning of a user group (that is, the first set described above, such as user group 1 and user group 2) to obtain a global position of the user group (that is, the third information described above), and the adjacent cell base stations are used to position the user group to obtain a relative position of the user group in the adjacent cell base stations (that is, the thirteenth information described above). The antenna angle of the adjacent cell base stations is calibrated by calibrating the global position and the relative position.

[0177] Specifically, the process of calibrating the antenna angle of the adjacent cell base stations comprises the following steps, as shown in Figure 7 ​

[0178] Step 701: The high-performance cell base station (may also be referred to as a sensing high-performance base station or anchor base station) initiates calibration measurement and performs step 702;

[0179] The high-performance cell base station has the following capabilities:

[0180] Has a narrower beam range;

[0181] Has a higher angle resolution relative to the ordinary base station;

[0182] Has an angle sensor system for measuring the mechanical angle parameters of the antenna;

[0183] Has the ability to obtain global coordinates, and can obtain the coordinates of the high-performance cell base station in the global coordinate system through satellite positioning system or field measurement.

[0184] Step 702: The high-performance cell base station calculates the gyroscope, geomagnetic sensor parameters on the antenna panel;

[0185] Here, the high-performance cell base station uses its own angle sensor system to calculate the gyroscope, geomagnetic sensor parameters on the antenna panel, thereby obtaining the azimuth angle, downtilt angle and other angle information of its own antenna, and then performs step 703.

[0186] Step 703: The high-performance cell base station notifies the sensing user (may also be referred to as a user) to report the neighbor base station information (i.e. the fifth information described above), so that the sensing user can complete the reporting of the neighbor base station information in the uplink resource;

[0187] In actual application, the sensing user can receive the sensing signal sent by the neighbor base station, but according to the access criterion, the sensing user does not access the neighbor base station, but accesses the high-performance cell base station; that is, the high-performance cell base station sends a notification (i.e. the fourth information described above) to the accessed sensing user, so that the accessed sensing user reports the neighbor base station information.

[0188] Step 704: The sensing user reports the neighbor base station information to the high-performance cell base station;

[0189] The neighbor base station information includes the neighbor base station identifier (i.e. the seventh information described above), the best receiving beam identifier corresponding to the user side (i.e. the ninth information described above), the optimal transmitting beam identifier on the base station side (i.e. the eighth information described above), and the time delay difference between the neighbor base station and the high-performance cell base station (i.e. the tenth information described above).

[0190] It should be noted that, for the best receiving beam, the sensing user can select the shortest propagation delay beam as the best receiving beam; for the delay difference, the sensing user calculates the delay of the user and the high-performance cell base station, and the delay of the user and the neighbor cell base station, respectively, and obtains the delay difference by subtracting the delays of the two.

[0191] Step 705: After the high-performance cell base station receives the neighbor cell base station information reported by the sensing user, the sensing user is divided to form a user group.

[0192] Here, the high-performance cell base station combines different users who have reported the same neighbor cell base station information to obtain a new user group, and then performs step 706.

[0193] Step 706: The high-performance cell base station configures the sensing resource for the user group (i.e., the sixth information described above), and sends the sensing resource configuration to the user group.

[0194] Here, the high-performance cell base station allocates space, time, and frequency resources through user group information to obtain a sensing resource configuration, and distributes the sensing resource configuration to the sensing users in the user group.

[0195] Step 707: The high-performance cell base station notifies the neighbor cell base station of the sensing resource configuration of the user group (i.e., the eleventh information described above);

[0196] In actual application, after the sensing resource is allocated, the high-performance cell base station also notifies the neighbor cell base station of the sensing resource configuration, so that the neighbor cell base station knows the allocated resources; wherein the sensing resource configuration also contains the sensing user identifier in the user group (i.e., the twelfth information described above).

[0197] Step 708: The user group sends uplink sensing signals;

[0198] Here, the user group can send uplink sensing signals to the high-performance cell base station (i.e., the first information described above), and at the same time, the user group can also send uplink sensing signals to the neighbor cell base station (i.e., the fifteenth information described above).

[0199] Step 709: After the neighbor cell base station receives the uplink sensing signal, the sensing information is solved;

[0200] Here, since the beam of the neighbor cell base station is wide and does not have angle information of its own antenna, the neighbor cell base station locates each sensing user in the user group according to the uplink sensing signal to obtain the relative position of the sensing user (i.e., the thirteenth information described above, such as relative coordinates).

[0201] Step 710: After the high-performance cell base station receives the uplink sensing signal, the sensing information is solved;

[0202] Here, the high-performance cell base station determines the angle and time delay of the uplink sensing signal according to the uplink sensing signal, and then performs step 711.

[0203] Step 711: The high-performance cell base station obtains the global position information (such as global coordinates) of the user.

[0204] In actual application, since the high-performance cell base station has a narrow beam, can determine its own position in the global coordinates, and the angle of the antenna, the high-performance cell base station can locate each sensing user in the user group according to the time delay, angle of the uplink sensing signal, its own position in the global coordinates, and the angle of the antenna, to obtain more accurate global coordinates.

[0205] Step 712: The high-performance cell base station transmits the global position information of the sensing user to the neighboring cell base station.

[0206] Step 713: After receiving the global position information, the neighboring cell base station completes the neighboring cell calibration according to the relative position and the global position information, and saves the calibration file.

[0207] Specifically, the neighboring cell base station completes the calibration of the relative coordinates by using the global coordinates, obtains the physical tilt angle of its own antenna, and thus completes the angle calibration of the antenna beam. Then, the neighboring cell base station saves the measured calibration file (i.e., the fourteenth information described above), so that when the subsequent sensing service (i.e., the sixteenth information described above) is performed, the neighboring cell base station can obtain the global angle of the user (i.e., the eighteenth information described above) by using the measured relative angle (i.e., the seventeenth information described above) and the saved calibration file, and thus completes the sensing positioning of multiple base stations.

[0208] In the application example, the positioning of the sensing user is completed by using the high-performance cell base station, and then the sensing user is regarded as a new calibration reference, so that the neighboring cell base station can obtain the angle calibration deviation, and thus form the global angle, to provide a basis for the subsequent angle estimation of multiple base stations. That is, the angle calibration of the neighboring cell base station is completed by using the positioning of the high-performance cell base station and the sensing user through the calibration transmission mode.

[0209] Secondly, the above scheme does not need to upgrade all base stations, but only needs to upgrade the sensors of the high-performance cell base station, which greatly reduces the antenna calibration cost; at the same time, the above scheme can be implemented while maintaining the uplink synchronization or downlink synchronization of all base stations, and does not additionally require the transceiver asynchronization between base stations, which also reduces the synchronization requirement between multiple base stations.
