In order to clearly understand the technical solutions of the present disclosure, the related technical solutions are first introduced in detail.

The 5G standard already supports positioning integrity functions in the Network-Assisting-Global Navigation Satellite System (A-GNSS) positioning method. Figure 1 is an architecture diagram of a positioning system provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, which can be applied to the 5G radio access network NG-RAN. As shown in Figure 1, the location management function (LMF) is responsible for selecting the positioning method and triggering the corresponding positioning measurement, and can calculate the final positioning result and accuracy. The LMF can communicate with multiple 5G wireless access network NG-RAN nodes. Interaction to provide auxiliary data information for broadcast. LMF may optionally segment and/or encrypt ancillary data information for broadcast. LMF can also be combined with Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) Interaction to provide encryption key data information to AMF. LMF is also connected with Service Location Protocol (SLP) and Evolved Serving Mobile Location Center (E-SMLC).

The 5G radio access network NG-RAN can send positioning reference signals or perform positioning measurements based on auxiliary data information. The user terminal (User Equipment, UE) can send positioning reference signals or perform positioning measurements based on auxiliary data information, and can also calculate the final positioning result and accuracy based on the measurement results. The base station ng-eNB may broadcast the assistance data information received from the LMF in the positioning system information message. The base station gNB may broadcast the assistance data information received from the LMF in the positioning system information message.

In the A-GNSS positioning method, the positioning integrity function is mainly to calculate the positioning results and accuracy through the UE, and then report it to the LMF. The LMF determines the final positioning result and accuracy, ensuring the accuracy of the final positioning result to improve positioning credibility. Spend. For positioning methods related to 5G cellular networks, the current standard does not support the positioning integrity function. If the positioning integrity function is not supported, the positioning server or terminal device may use untrusted measurement results to calculate the position, resulting in inaccurate positioning results. , which reduces the positioning accuracy and credibility.

Based on the technical problems in the existing technology, the inventor found through creative research that in the 5G cellular network positioning method, in order to support the positioning integrity function and ensure positioning accuracy and credibility, the UE can report to the base station when assisting uplink positioning. Its own positioning assistance information is then reported by the base station to the LMF. At the same time, the base station will also report the base station's own positioning assistance information to the LMF. The LMF is based on the base station's own positioning assistance information and the UE's own positioning assistance information. , the positioning integrity result is calculated. The positioning integrity result can be used to characterize whether the LMF has used wrong measurement results for position calculation, thereby determining the credibility of the UE's current position. If the current position is untrustworthy, it can be discarded to retain the trusted position and improve positioning. Accuracy ensures that the positioning server or UE can use trusted location information. Supporting the positioning integrity function in the UE-assisted uplink positioning method can reduce the impact of fault events and erroneous data on position calculations and improve the credibility of the positioning position.

Embodiment 1

Figure 2 is a schematic flowchart of a positioning method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present disclosure. This method can be applied to a positioning device. The execution subject of this embodiment is a positioning device. Taking the positioning device as the above-mentioned positioning server as an example. As shown in Figure 2, the method includes the following steps:

Step S201: Obtain positioning assistance information. The positioning assistance information includes first positioning assistance information of the terminal device and/or second positioning assistance information of the base station.

In this embodiment, in the terminal device-assisted uplink positioning method, the terminal device can send the uplink reference signal SRS, and the base station receives the uplink reference signal SRS and performs measurements. Depending on the auxiliary uplink positioning method used, the measurement obtained by the base station The results are also different. Finally, the base station reports the measurement results to the LMF to calculate the current location of the terminal device.

Among them, during the positioning process, LMF may use measurement results that exceed the error boundary (ie, wrong measurement results) for position calculation, which will lead to errors in the final position information and inaccurate position. Therefore, during the assisted uplink positioning process, the terminal device can upload its own first positioning assistance information to the base station, and the base station forwards it to the LMF. At the same time, the base station will also give its own second positioning assistance information to the LMF when forwarding. The LMF is based on The first positioning auxiliary information and the second positioning auxiliary information realize the positioning integrity calculation and obtain the positioning integrity result. Then the LMF determines whether the calculated current position is credible through the positioning integrity result.

In this embodiment, the base station and the terminal device can interact through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, the base station and the positioning server can interact through 5G positioning protocol (NRPPa for short) signaling, and the terminal device and the positioning server They can interact through Lightweight Presentation Protocol (LPP) signaling. Among them, in the UE-assisted uplink positioning method, the UE reports assistance information from the terminal device itself to the base station through RRC dedicated signaling.

In this embodiment, the first positioning assistance data may refer to the assistance data related to the transmission error of the terminal device itself, and the second positioning assistance data may refer to the assistance data related to the integrity of the base station itself.

For example, in some embodiments, the first positioning assistance information of the terminal device may include a first set of data and related time. The first set of data may specifically include at least one of the first error, the first error average and standard deviation, the first error occurrence probability per unit time and expected duration, and the first identifier. The first error is used to represent the uplink reference signal transmission time error of the terminal device, and the first identifier is used to represent whether the first positioning assistance information is available.

In this embodiment, the first error may specifically refer to the sending time error. In order to support positioning, the terminal is on Before reporting the measured values obtained from the downlink positioning reference signal/uplink positioning reference signal, internal calibration/compensation of the transmission delay can be performed, but the calibration cannot completely cancel the error. The remaining transmission time delay after calibration or the uncalibrated transmission time delay Defined as the sending time error. A terminal receive time error group UE Rx TEG is associated with one or more downlink measurements whose transmit time errors are within a certain range. The errors of any two downlink measurements associated with the same UE Rx TEG are within a certain range.

Specifically, the first identifier may refer to the sending time error DUN identifier, which is used to indicate whether the positioning auxiliary information of the relevant error source can be used for positioning integrity calculation. When the sending time error DUN flag is set to "No", it indicates that the relevant positioning auxiliary information can be used for positioning integrity calculations. When the sending time error DUN flag is set to "yes", it indicates that these positioning auxiliary information cannot be used for integrity calculations. For example, when the first flag is set to "yes", it means that the relevant positioning assistance information (ie, the first error, the first error average and standard deviation, the first error occurrence probability per unit time, and the expected duration) is available of. When the first flag is set to "No", it means that the relevant positioning assistance information (ie, the first error, the first error average and standard deviation, the first error occurrence probability per unit time, and the expected duration) is unavailable.

The first error average value and standard deviation may specifically refer to the transmission time error average value and standard deviation, and the first error average value and standard deviation are used to calculate the first error boundary. The integrity bound provides a statistical distribution of the residuals associated with positioning corrections. Completeness bounds are used to statistically limit the residuals after applying localization corrections. When LMF uses measurement results that exceed the first error boundary for position calculation, it may cause inaccurate positioning results.

The first error occurrence probability per unit time and the expected duration can be specifically used to calculate the first residual risk value. The residual risk is the probability of occurrence of a fault event defined per unit time. Each residual risk is accompanied by a mean duration, which represents the expected average duration of the corresponding failure event and is used to convert the probability of occurrence into the probability of the presence of a failure event at any given time.

The relevant time specifically refers to the minimum time interval between two groups of terminal devices that are independent of each other when sending the first positioning assistance data to the base station.

In other embodiments, the second positioning assistance information of the base station can be specifically divided into a second set of data, a third set of data and related time, where the second set of data specifically includes a second error, a second error average and a standard deviation. , the second error occurrence probability per unit time and the expected duration, and at least one of the second identification. The third set of data specifically includes the third error, the third error mean and standard deviation, the third error occurrence probability per unit time and the expectation. At least one of duration and third identifier.

Among them, the second error is used to characterize the reception time error of the uplink reference signal of the base station to the terminal equipment, and the second identifier is used to characterize the second error, the second error average and standard deviation, the second error occurrence probability per unit time and the expected duration. Whether the time is available, the third error is the power error related to the resource element carrying the uplink reference signal. Specifically, the third error is used to characterize the resource element carrying the uplink reference signal configured for measurement at the first path delay The power error of the linear average of the channel response. The third identifier is used to characterize whether the third error, the third error mean and standard deviation, the third error occurrence probability per unit time, and the expected duration are available.

In this embodiment, the second error may specifically refer to the reception time error. From the perspective of signal reception, there will be a time delay from the time the radio frequency signal reaches the receiving antenna to the time the signal is digitized and timestamped at the baseband. . The second error mean and standard deviation are used to calculate the receive time error boundary (the receive time error boundary is Determine the credibility of the current position based on LMF). The second error occurrence probability per unit time and the expected duration are used to calculate the second residual risk value (the second residual risk value is used by the LMF to determine the credibility of the current location). The third error may specifically be the receive first path power error. The uplink reference signal receive path power is defined as the power of the linear average of the channel response at the i-th path delay of the resource element that carries the received uplink reference signal configured for measurement, where , the uplink reference signal received first path power is the power contribution corresponding to the first detected path in time. The third error mean value and standard deviation are used to calculate the received first path power error boundary (the received first path power error boundary is used by the LMF to determine the credibility of the current position). The third error occurrence probability per unit time and the expected duration are used to calculate the third residual risk value (the third residual risk value is used by LMF to determine the credibility of the current location).

Used to support positioning integrity calculations. At this time, it is necessary to distinguish the available information from the unavailable information from the positioning auxiliary information, and then use the available information to calculate the positioning integrity to obtain the credibility of the current position. Specifically, when the first positioning assistance information is available, the LMF can determine the credibility of the current location of the terminal device based on the first positioning assistance information of the terminal device. When the second positioning assistance information is available, the LMF can also determine the credibility of the current location of the terminal device based on the base station's third positioning assistance information.

Figure 4 is an interactive schematic diagram of the positioning method provided in Embodiment 4 of the present disclosure. Among them, the execution subject of the positioning method provided in this embodiment is a positioning device, which may specifically be an LMF. As shown in Figure 4, the positioning method includes steps:

Step S401: Receive positioning assistance information sent by the base station.

Step S402: Obtain available information from the positioning assistance information according to the first identifier, the second identifier, and the third identifier in the positioning assistance information.

Step S403: Determine the credibility of the current location of the terminal device based on available information.

The available information includes at least one of first positioning assistance information and second positioning assistance information.

In this embodiment, the LMF can determine which positioning assistance information is available based on the results indicated by the first identifier, the second identifier, and the third identifier. The first set of data includes the first error, the first error mean and standard deviation, the first error occurrence probability per unit time and the expected duration, and the first identifier. The second set of data includes the second error, the second error mean and standard deviation, the second error occurrence probability per unit time and the expected duration. The third set of data includes the third error, the third error mean and standard deviation, the third error occurrence probability per unit time and the expected duration. If the result indicated by the first identifier is "yes", it means that the first set of data can be used as available information (that is, the available information at least includes the first positioning assistance information). If the result indicated by the second identifier is "yes", it means that the second set of data can also be used as available information. If the result indicated by the third identifier is "yes", it means that the third set of data can also be used as available information. That is, the available information may include the above-mentioned first set of data and/or the second set of data and/or the third set of data. When the available information includes the second set of data and/or the third set of data, it means that the available information includes There is secondary positioning auxiliary information.

Among them, for example, taking the first identifier as the above-mentioned sending time error DUN identifier, when the sending time error DUN identifier is set to "yes", it indicates the sending time error, the sending time error average and standard deviation, and the unit time. The transmission time error occurrence probability and expected duration can be used as available information.

Furthermore, LMF can calculate the positioning integrity calculation result based on the available information and the positioning integrity calculation formula, and determine the credibility of the current location through the positioning integrity calculation result. Specifically, in some embodiments, the positioning integrity calculation formula is as follows:
P(W>B|NOT DNU)≤Residual Risk+IRallocation

Among them, W represents the error, B represents the error boundary, and the value of NOT DUN is "No", which is used to identify that the currently available information needs to include the above-mentioned first set of data and/or the second set of data and/or the third set of data. Residual Risk represents residual risk.

In this embodiment, the boundary refers to the integrity boundary that provides the statistical distribution of the residuals associated with the positioning correction, and the integrity boundary is used to statistically limit the residuals after applying the positioning correction. The boundary formula describes a boundary model, including mean and standard deviation. Specifically, the error boundary can be calculated according to the following boundary calculation formula:
B＝mean+K*stdDev
K＝normInv(IRallocation/2)
irMinimum≤IRallocation≤irMaximum

In the above formula, B represents the error boundary, mean represents the mean value, stdDev represents the standard deviation, and K is the coefficient value, which is calculated through the normInv function. The normInv function is used to return the inverse function of the normal cumulative distribution function of the specified mean and standard deviation. . IRallocation is a default value, and its value range is [irMinimum, irMaximum]. Users can set the value of IRallocation and define the value of irMinimum and irMaximum.

In this embodiment, the residual risk is the probability of occurrence of a defined failure event per unit time. Each residual risk is accompanied by a mean duration, which represents the expected average duration of the corresponding failure event and is used to convert the probability of occurrence into the probability of the presence of a failure event at any given time. For example, the calculation formula of residual risk is: average duration * probability of occurrence of a failure event defined by unit time.

NOT DNU is used at this time to identify that the currently available information includes at least the first set of data mentioned above.

In this embodiment, when the comparison result indicates that P(W>B|NOT DNU)≤Residual Risk+IRallocation, it is determined that the current location of the terminal device is credible. When the comparison result indicates that P(W>B|NOT DNU )>Residual Risk+IRallocation, it is determined that the current location of the terminal device is not trustworthy.

For example, in other implementations, the available information is the above-mentioned second set of data in the second positioning assistance information (that is, including the second error, the second error average and standard deviation, the second error occurrence probability per unit time and expected duration), the LMF can determine the credibility of the current location of the terminal device through the following steps:

Determine the second error boundary based on the second error mean and standard deviation;

Determine the second residual risk value based on the probability of the second error occurring per unit time and the expected duration;

Obtain the probability that the second error is greater than the second error boundary, and compare it with the sum of the second residual risk value and the preset value to obtain the comparison result;

Among them, the second residual risk value represents the probability of occurrence of the second error.

In this embodiment, the second error can be regarded as W, the second error boundary can be regarded as B, the second residual risk value can be regarded as Residual Risk, and the preset value can be regarded as IRallocation, and each can be substituted into the above positioning integrity calculation formula P (W>B |NOT DNU)≤Residual Risk+IRallocation, get the comparison result.

NOT DNU is used at this time to identify that the currently available information includes at least the second set of data mentioned above (that is, including the second error, the second error mean and standard deviation, the second error occurrence probability per unit time, and the expected duration).
