Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to 3-G (Generation Three mobile communication system), the localization method of locating user devices (UE) is treated in decision more specifically to radio network controller (RNC).
Background technology
In the technical specification of existing 3GPP, defined cell ID (Cell-ID), observation arrives time difference (OTDOA) and three kinds of localization methods of agps system (A-GPS), wherein cell ID (Cell-ID) method is to give core network (CN) with the sign of sub-district (Cell) in the residing Node B of the subscriber equipment that is positioned (UE) as the position message of the subscriber equipment that is positioned, be characterized in that this location does not need calculating just can access positional information, therefore simple and positioning accuracy is low, its positioning accuracy generally at only several kms of hundreds of rice, depends on the radius of society that cellular network is designed; The position that the time difference that subscriber equipment observes arrival time difference (OTDOA) method arrive tested subscriber equipment (UE) by measurement from least three Node B signal transmitteds is calculated tested subscriber equipment (UE), its precision generally within hundreds of rice, depends on the multipath in signal bandwidth, the wireless propagation environment, available measurement etc.; Agps system (A-GPS) localization method is that GPS receiver is combined with subscriber equipment, the location that subscriber equipment (UE) implemented in the startup of the GPS receiver of accelerating by the relevant parameter of satellite in the relevant global positioning system that cellular network provided and search, be characterized in that positioning accuracy is higher relatively, generally within tens meters, but cost is higher.
A kind of low spreading rate time-division duplex of LCR-TDD system (LCR-TDD CDMA) system, 3GPP has formulated the corresponding techniques standard to this LCR-TDD code division multiple access.This LCR-TDD code division multiple access system can adopt smart antenna (SA) to be installed on Node B.Smart antenna (SA) is the aerial array that is made of a plurality of low-gain antennas unit, it utilizes Digital Signal Processing that a plurality of different users are implemented beam shaping and produces a plurality of different spaces wave beams, the maximum direction of each wave beam is automatically aimed at user separately, and zero receive direction aligning interference radiating way, suppress co-channel interference, multiple access interference and multipath fading, to realize significantly improving the purpose of signal interference ratio, enhanced system capacity.
Because smart antenna adopts the array antenna of the different array numbers in certain space position, cause same radio signal to arrive each array element and have different wave path-differences, the signal of different directions produces different array responses after being shaped by array antenna beam, thereby can estimate the angle of arrival (AOA) of ripple.The smart antenna receiving system can be taked different algorithms, can realize in radio frequency, intermediate frequency or base band respectively, so that the signal distinguishing of different directions is come, disturbs thereby reduce, and improves systematic function.
In the LCR-TDD system, OTDOA measures the position of calculating tested subscriber equipment (UE) by the time difference that the DwPTS signal that is sent from least three Node B is arrived tested subscriber equipment (UE).Because the subscriber equipment to be positioned (UE) at Serving cell is nearer and relative to contiguous sub-district from this Serving cell, this means that the DwPTS signal of receiving this Serving cell is better than the DwPTS signal of adjacent cell, cause subscriber equipment to be positioned (UE) can not receive relatively away from the contiguous DwPTS signal that the sub-district sent.In order to handle the problem that above-mentioned subscriber equipment to be positioned (UE) detects adjacent cell, several feasible solutions have been proposed now.At first, can utilize the transmission technology of idle period downlink (IPDL), being Serving cell temporarily stops to launch its DwPTS signal and adjacent cell normally sends the DwPTS signal in some specific radio frames, the number of the adjacent cell DwPTS signal that UE to be positioned by this can detect has increased, improve certainty of measurement, and then improved positioning accuracy.Secondly, Location Measurement Unit or position calculation entity can adopt the received superposed signals from Serving cell and its each neighbor cell of technical finesse subscriber equipment to be positioned (UE) such as interference delete, in brief, promptly from the signal that subscriber equipment to be positioned (UE) receives, extract earlier the DwPTS signal of the strongest sub-district (generally being its Serving cell), from the signal that locating user devices (UE) receives, remove the DwPTS signal component of strong sub-district then; Then in remaining signal, extract the DwPTS signal of time strong sub-district, remove the DwPTS signal component of time strong sub-district then; The influence of so deleting the DwPTS signal of the strongest sub-district of current demand signal successively, thereby the DwPTS signal of the more weak sub-district of extraction signal as much as possible.Except above-mentioned technology, also have some other technology be used to handle subscriber equipment to be positioned (UE) can not receive relatively away from the problem of the DwPTS signal that the sub-district sent, yet, above-mentioned technology but can not address this problem fully, promptly in some specific zones, subscriber equipment to be positioned (UE) can detect adjacent cell number may still can not satisfy the requirement of OTDOA location, for example, for the IPDL technology, such zone is near the part in edge of Serving cell; For the interference delete technology, such zone is near the part in center of sub-district.
A large amount of research and test have been done to the performance of above-mentioned several solutions of mentioning by Cambridge navigation system company, these results are embodied among the David Bartlett disclosed " auditory analysis of OTDOA localization method in the 3G UMTS network ", under the situation of the parameter configuration that this report adopted, basic OTDOA localization method does not have enough available cell to finish the location in about 26% zone; When adopting the IPDL technology, the OTDOA localization method does not have enough available cell to finish the location about 6% zone greatly; And when adopting the technology of interference delete, the OTDOA localization method does not have enough available cell to be used to finish the location about 5% zone greatly.
Although above-mentioned report shows IPDL technology or interference delete technology and has improved the problem of subscriber equipment to be positioned (UE) the reception DwPTS signal that adjacent cell sent in the OTDOA localization method to a certain extent, but in some special region, the number of the DwPTS signal that adjacent cell sent that subscriber equipment to be positioned (UE) can receive still can not satisfy the requirement of OTDOA localization method, and RNC must select other localization method that UE is implemented the location.More defined in the technical specification according to existing 3GPP at the UE place or at the measured value at Node B place, RNC can start some and relatively simply treat the method that positioning UE is implemented the location, for example RNC can obtain the loop time delay (RTT) and the angle of arrival (AOA) of UE to be positioned by these measured values, and then obtains the location estimation of UE to be positioned.In addition, RNC can also adopt some mixed methods, and utilization as much as possible can obtain measured value, for example, RNC is after obtaining the loop time delay of UE to be positioned (RTT) and the angle of arrival (AOA), and the OTDOA measured value that can measure in conjunction with UE to be positioned is realized the raising to positioning accuracy.
In the LCR-TDD system, measurement for the loop time delay (RTT) of realizing treating positioning UE, RNC can measure the time deviation of UE to be positioned respectively by Iub interface special measurement message request Node B, UE to be positioned measures its time lead by Uu interface RRC signaling (measurement control messages) request; The time deviation of the comprehensive UE to be positioned of RNC and Timing Advance then calculate the loop time delay (RTT) of this UE to be positioned.
In the technical specification of existing 3GPP, defined the localization method that arrives the time difference (OTDOA) based on observation, this method exist subscriber equipment to be positioned (UE) can not receive relatively away from the problem of the DwPTS signal that the sub-district sent.Technology such as IPDL and interference delete has been improved OTDOA The Application of Technology regional extent to a certain extent, but still there are some zones, the number of cells that can be used for the OTDOA localization method causes RNC can not only rely on the localization method of OTDOA to obtain the position of UE to be positioned less than 3.
In the technical specification of existing 3GPP, for the localization method of OTDOA, above-mentioned technical specification does not define RNC and how to select subscriber equipment to be positioned (UE) transmission to need the sub-district of UE measurement to be positioned so that need the cell list of UE measurement to be positioned to subscriber equipment to be positioned (UE) transmission by broadcast or measurement control messages.The most direct a kind of execution mode is Serving cell and its all adjacent cell that generally can comprise UE to be positioned at above-mentioned cell list, UE to be positioned need carry out the measurement of OTDOA to all sub-districts in the tabulation, there is such problem in this kind mode, promptly when the number of cells that can be used for the OTDOA localization method is smaller, UE to be positioned has done a lot of useless measuring operation, causes wasting battery electric quantity and handles resource etc.
In the LCR-TDD system, for the loop time delay (RTT) of measuring UE to be positioned, RNC can measure the time deviation of UE to be positioned respectively by Iub interface special measurement message request Node B, UE to be positioned measures its time lead by Uu interface RRC signaling request.In the technical specification of existing 3GPP, RNC sends in the special measurement message of Node B and comprises information unit CFN, and it is used to set Node B and measures the time deviation of UE to be positioned in specific radio frames; Simultaneously, Node B is to also comprising information unit CFN in the response message of RNC special measurement message, and the time deviation that NodeB measures by this information unit report RNC is the measured value to that radio frames.In the technical specification of existing 3GPP, UE to be positioned measures in the response message of control messages and the measurement report message RNC and comprises information unit SFN, and the Timing Advance that UE to be positioned measures by this information unit report RNC is the measured value to that radio frames; But RNC sends to the information unit that does not comprise in the measurement control messages of UE to be positioned about SFN, and just RNC can not control that UE to be positioned measures and the Timing Advance of report specific radio frames.Therefore, RNC can not be synchronously to the measurement of time deviation with to the measurement of Timing Advance, although RNC can take some other measure to make the deviation of Measuring Time as much as possible little, on certainty of measurement, still cause certain loss.
