Step 201 determines adjacent cell for measurement, and then start positioning measurement process to obtain positioning Measurement results and measurement results obtained according to the calculated reference cell with each pass between adjacent cells Lose time difference.
Wherein the mobile station location center positioning measurement, select the following as the shift of the neighboring Mobile positioning center stage position measurement request issued by the adjacent cell: cell as the center of the reference radius Is twice the radius of the circle covered by the reference cell within the range of the reference cell does not belong to the same base station Have the same frequency plot. Select the adjacent cell so that the reason is: First, you can automatically select the adjacent cell, Thus avoiding the pre-positioning of complex network planning; Second, it could make reference to the various different locations within the district Mobile station, were able to obtain a sufficient number of neighbor cell measurement.
Step 202, the difference between the obtained transmission time for selection processing. According to geometric effects of the original Management and standard deviation minimum transit time difference principle choice. Specific process shown in Figure 3, Figure 3 content in the Described in detail later.
Step 203, the mobile station positioning center according to the selected transmission time difference for hyperbolic positioning Calculation, to obtain estimates of the mobile station is located.
In step 202, the mobile station to transmit the time difference positioning center selection process shown in Figure 3, Includes the following steps:
Step 301: Calculate the reference cell with each adjacent cell transmission time difference between the standard deviation.
Standard deviation of transmission time can be observed time difference to the mobile station and the network of observation time difference Standard deviation, and the network standard deviation of observed time difference to get the drift rate. Standard deviation of the transmission time integrated Together reflect the mobile station location measurement unit for the same reference cell, the adjacent cell group positioning measurements obtained Quality of the results, the present invention is to be transmitted which is the basis for selection of the time difference.
Wherein each reference cell and the neighbor cell transmission time difference between the standard deviation is calculated and The calculation method of the prior art is the same, details of the calculation as follows:
First step: calculation UE reference cell and the measurement time between adjacent cells and the relative time difference Standard deviation. Refer to the same relative time difference between the time of observation, each cell of the common pilot channel signal header Deviation between. Since WCDMA is not synchronized with the system, each cell header is asynchronous, Therefore, each cell to be considered a common pilot channel signal deviation between header. Specific formula As follows:
RTDue=RTDlmu+DeltaSFN*RTDlmuDriftRate,
RTDueQuality=RTDlmuQuality+DeltaSFN*RTDlmuDriftRateQuality。
Wherein when (SFNue-SFNlmu) <-2048, the
DeltaSFN=((SFNue-SFNlmu)+4096)*0.01;
When (SFNue-SFNlmu)> 2048, the
DeltaSFN=((SFNue-SFNlmu)-4096)*0.01;
When -2048 <= (SFNue-SFNlmu) <= 2048, the
DeltaSFN=(SFNue-SFNlmu)*0.01。
Among them, the meaning of each of these parameters are shown in Table 1 below:

This parameter is subtracted from the observed time difference LMU network The reference cell and the difference in distance between the adjacent cell to get. Which, Network observed time difference measured directly by the LMU; due LMU, ginseng Test cell, the adjacent cell locations are known, and reference cell LMU And the difference in distance between the adjacent cell can be easily obtained.

Step two: calculate the reference cell and the adjacent cell transmission time difference between its standard deviation. Specific meter Calculation formula is as follows:
OTDOA=OTDOAue-RTDue,
OtdoaQuality=OTDOAueQuality+RTDueQuality。
Among them, the meaning of each of these parameters shown in Table 2:

Table 2
After the above operation, the final two values ​​can be obtained: OTDOA and OtdoaQuality, namely: Reference cell and the adjacent cell transmission time difference between its standard deviation.
Reference cell and between each of the adjacent cell, have to go through the above operation, in order to obtain reference cell Between the respective adjacent cell transmission time difference and the standard deviation. Standard deviation of the transmission time of the unit is Chip. The smaller the standard deviation, indicating that the measurement error is smaller, the better the quality of the measurement.
Step 302: mobile positioning center selection criteria is less than the predetermined threshold standard deviation of the transmission T Time difference.
Choices here are preliminary selection, the aim is to eliminate the big noise. Since the UE The measurement, if a neighboring cell signal is weak, noise can easily lead to more than three yards larger chip Errors. Thus, where the standard deviation of the threshold T in the range of: 3 to 4 chips.
Step 303: a plurality of base stations to belong to a transmission time difference between the neighboring cells, the mobile station location Center chose to retain the smallest standard deviation of transmission time difference, remove one standard deviation than the minimum transmission Between poor.
Steps 302 and 303 of the execution order is not fixed, it can first perform step 303, Then perform step 302, the selection result obtained in steps in the order 302, 303 and the selection result is Identical.
Step 304: mobile positioning center based on the principle of minimum standard deviation of the distribution and the cell geometry, Selected from the above step, select the transmission time difference between the best two or three transmission time difference.
2 or 3 generally choose the best transmission time difference can be obtained more accurate positioning result The. Although in theory, select a plurality of transmission time difference can be more accurate positioning results, but the real In effect, if we choose the transmission of measurement error is relatively large time difference between the last intersection hyperbolic Area may become large, so it will worsen positioning results.
In step 304, the mobile station positioning center choose three best transmission time difference method shown in Figure 4 Shown, includes the following steps:
Step 401: The mobile station positioning center in accordance with the standard deviation from small to large order of transmission time difference Sort.
Step 402: mobile positioning center selection sort after the first transmission time lag for the first pass Lose time difference, and record the corresponding adjacent cell to the adjacent cell F.
Step 403: The mobile station positioning center compute the next transmission time difference with reference to the corresponding adjacent cell Cell, neighbor cell F minimum interior angle of a triangle formed ANG1.
Step 404: Determine whether the minimum angles ANG1 smaller than a predetermined first threshold A1, and if so, Proceed to step 405; otherwise go to Step 406.
According GDOP principle, if the geometric relationship between several base stations is not good, will greatly increase the Positioning error, the greater the angle between the base station as possible, preferably in the form of equilateral triangles. Base For these reasons, said first threshold A1 ranges: 15 to 45 degrees. Generally choose 20 ~ 30 degrees, for example, 25 degrees is better.
Step 405: the time difference from the transmission sort results to remove the transit time difference, and returns to step 403.
Step 406: The mobile station positioning center select the transmission time difference for the second transmission time difference, and Record the corresponding adjacent cell to the adjacent cell S.
Step 407: calculating the next transmission time difference corresponding to the adjacent cell and the reference cell, the adjacent cell F The minimum angles of a triangle formed ANG2, and the reference cell, the triangle formed by neighboring cell S Minimum angles ANG3.
Step 408: Determine the minimum angles ANG2 and ANG3 minimum interior angle is smaller than a predetermined second Threshold A2, if so, step 409 is performed; otherwise go to Step 410.
Wherein said second threshold A2 is in the range: 8 - 30 degrees. Generally choose 10 to 20 Degrees, such as 15 degrees better.
Step 409: the time difference from the transmission sort results to remove the transit time difference, and returns to step 407.
Step 410: The mobile station positioning center select the transmission time difference for the third transmission time difference.
The procedure is to choose three transmission time difference positioning calculation, can use one of the steps 401 to 406 select two transmission time difference for the positioning calculation.
The following give a specific example to illustrate the invention.
