但是,在新无线(New Radio,NR)系统中,网络设备如何向用户设备(User Equipment,UE)配置定位参考信号还是未知的,导致NR系统中的UE无法获得PRS。本公开仅以NR系统为例,并不构成限制。

为了使本技术领域的人员更好地理解本公开中的技术方案,下面将结合本公开的一些实施例中的附图,对本公开的一些实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本公开一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本公开中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都应当属于本公开保护的范围。
应理解,本公开的一些实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统,例如:全球移动通讯(Global System of Mobile communication,GSM)系统、码分多址(Code Division Multiple Access,CDMA)系统、宽带码分多址(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access,WCDMA)系统、通用分组无线业务(General Packet Radio Service,GPRS)、长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)系统、LTE频分双工(Frequency Division Duplex,FDD)系统、LTE时分双工(Time Division Duplex,TDD)、通用移动通信系统(Universal Mobile Telecommunication System,UMTS)或全球互联微波接入(Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access,WiMAX)通信系统、5G系统,或者说新无线(New Radio,NR)系统。

需要说明的是,在描述具体实施例时,各过程的序号的大小并不意味着执行顺序的先后,各过程的执行顺序应以其功能和内在逻辑确定,而不应对本公开的一些实施例的实施过程构成任何限定。
需要说明的是,下文仅以NR系统为例说明本公开的一些实施例提供的定位参考信号配置、接收方法及装置,应理解,本公开的一些实施例提供的定位参考信号配置、接收方法及装置还可以应用于其他通信系统,并不局限于NR系统。
下面先结合附图1至4,对应用于网络设备的NR系统的定位参考信号配置方法进行说明。
图1示出了根据本公开的NR系统的定位参考信号配置方法,应用于网络设备。如图1所示,该方法可以包括如下步骤:
步骤101、发送第一目标配置信息,所述第一目标配置信息用于配置终端设备的定位参考信号PRS。
图1所示的实施例提供的一种NR系统的定位参考信号配置方法,由于能够发送用于配置终端设备的定位参考信号PRS的第一目标配置信息,因此可以使NR系统中的终端设备获得PRS,提高通信有效性。
下面结合具体的实施例对上述发送第一目标配置信息的方式,以及第一目标配置信息包含的内容进行说明。
可选地,网络设备从距终端设备预定距离内的小区中选择多个小区;通过所述多个小区为终端设备配置所述第一目标配置信息,并发送第一目标配置信息。也即网络设备可以从终端设备附近的小区中选取N个小区,在这N个小区中为终端设备配置第一目标配置信息及PRS。
其中,网络设备可以是小区的上层设备,例如,网络设备可以是一个网 络侧的定位服务器。预定距离可以根据实际需要配置,本实施例对此不作限定。
更为详细的,网络设备可以但不限于基于下列第一种至第三种方式中的一种或多种从距所述终端设备预定距离内的小区中选择多个小区。
第一种,基于距所述终端设备预定距离内的小区的无线资源管理RRM报告,从距所述终端设备预定距离内的小区中选择多个小区。
具体来说,网络设备可以基于小区的RRM,从距终端设备预定距离内的小区中选取N个参考信号接收功率(Reference Signal Receiving Power,RSRP)或参考信号接收质量(Reference Signal Receiving Quality,RSRQ)最好的小区,例如,对距终端设备预定距离内的小区基于RSRP或RSRQ进行排序,将排序在最前面的N个小区选择出来用于发送第一目标配置信息。或者,网络设备可以基于小区的RRM,从距终端设备预定距离内的小区中选取N个信号与干扰加噪声比(Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio,SINR)最好的小区,例如,对距终端设备预定距离内的小区基于SINR进行排序,将排序在最前面的N个小区选择出来用于发送第一目标配置信息。
第二种,基于预先对所述终端设备的位置的估计,从距所述终端设备预定距离内的小区中选择多个小区。例如,对终端设备的地理位置进行粗略判断后,从利于终端设备定位测量的小区中选择多个小区。
第三种,基于距所述终端设备预定距离内的小区发送的PRS的到达时间(Time of Arrival,TOA),从距所述终端设备预定距离内的小区中选择多个小区。例如,从距终端设备预定距离内的小区中,将TOA测量误差的方差最小的N个小区、将时延扩展最小的N个小区或者将TOA最小的N个小区选择出来作为所述多个小区。
并且,网络设备选择出的用于向终端设备配置PRS的多个小区的子载波间隔相同(或者说numerology相同),相应的,终端设备同时接收到的来自所述多个小区的PRS对应的numerology相同,也即终端设备不期望同时接收 的多个小区的PRS对应的numerology不同。
以及,当基于上述三种方式中的任一种为终端设备选择多个小区时,可以直接将选择出的多个小区作为给终端设备配置PRS的小区。当基于上述三种方式中的多种为终端设备选择多个小区时,依据不同的方式选择出的多个小区及多个小区的数量可能不同,此时可以从依据不同方式选择出的多个小区中,再次筛选出多个小区,作为最终给终端设备配置PRS的小区。例如,假设依据第一种方式选择出的多个小区为:小区1、小区2、小区3、小区4、小区5,依据第二种方式选择出的多个小区为:小区2、小区3、小区4、小区5、小区6,则可以将依据第一种方式和依据第二种方式选择出的相同的多个小区作为最终给终端设备配置PRS的小区,也即将小区2、小区3、小区4、小区5作为最终给终端设备配置PRS的小区。
当然,除了将依据不同方式选择出的相同的多个小区作为最终给终端设备配置PRS的小区,还可以采用其他方式从依据不同方式选择出的多个小区中,再次筛选出多个小区,作为最终给终端设备配置PRS的小区,本公开对此不做限定。
可选地,第一目标配置信息包括PRS的生成参数,在上述步骤101之后,本公开的一些实施例提供的一种NR系统的定位参考信号配置方法,还可以包括:基于所述生成参数生成所述PRS,并发送所述PRS。
上述生成参数与下列参数中至少一项相关联:所述PRS所在无线帧内的时隙(slot)号、所述PRS所在时隙内的正交频分复用(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,OFDM)符号的序号、所述PRS的循环前缀(Cyclic Prefix,CP)的类型、所述PRS的小区ID信息、所述终端设备的ID或所述终端设备所属用户组的ID,以及同步信号块(Synchronization Signal Block,SSB)的ID。
其中,CP包括正常循环前缀(Normal Cyclic Prefix,NCP)和扩展循环前缀(Extended Cyclic Prefix,ECP)。小区ID信息可以是物理小区ID或虚拟小区 ID。
更为具体的,PRS序列可以是对伪随机序列进行正交相移键控(Quadrature Phase Shift Keying,QPSK)调制后生成的,其中,伪随机序列c(n)可以是gold序列,相应的,上述生成参数也可以称为是gold序列的生成参数。
在一个例子中,如果伪随机序列c(n)为gold序列,则c(n)具体可以是2个m序列的异或结果(或者说2个m序列的模2加结果),且c(n)的长度为可以M,其中,n=0,1,…,M-1。c(n)的表达式为:
c(n)=(x 1(n+N c)+x 2(n+N c))mod2
其中,x 1(n+31)=(x 1(n+3)+x 1(n))mod2,用于生成第一个m序列,x 1的初始化状态为x 1(0)=1,x 1(n)=0,n=1,2,…,30。
其中,x 2(n+31)=(x 2(n+3)+x 2(n+2)+x 2(n+1)+x 2(n))mod2,用于生成第二个m序列,x 2的初始化状态可以通过一个十进制数C init的二进制形式表示,C init也可以理解为是伪随机序列c(n)生成序列的初始值。
符号“mod”为取余数符号,可以称为“模”。
N c=1600,Nc的含义可以理解为:在根据x 1和x 2的表达式生成两个很长的序列后,从这两个很长的序列的第1600位开始分别向后读取M位得到M位的两个m序列,再对这两个m序列进行模2加,即可得到c(n)。
伪随机序列c(n)的初始值C init可以表示为:

其中,n sf表示一个无线帧内的时隙序号;l表示一个时隙内的OFDM符号序号;
Figure PCTCN2019091865-appb-000002
表示物理小区ID、虚拟小区ID或网络配置的ID;N CP与CP类型有关,对于正常CP来说,N CP等于1,对于扩展CP来说,N CP等于0;μ表示数值配置numerology的值(下文会通过列表对numerology进行说明,此处暂不说明详见下文);
Figure PCTCN2019091865-appb-000003
表示一个SSB Burst Set中的SSB编号,取值为0至63。
在此基础上,对gold序列进行QPSK调制后得到的PRS序列为:
Figure PCTCN2019091865-appb-000004
可选地,第一目标配置信息可以包括:所述PRS占用的资源粒子RE的时域位置信息和频域位置信息,所述频域位置与所述网络设备的指定numerology相关联,且所述频域位置信息包括所述频域位置的起始点信息。其中,所述起始点信息为所述网络设备的第一个公共资源块上的第一个子载波。
相应的,上述步骤“发送所述PRS”具体可以包括:在所述时域位置和与所述指定numerology相关联的所述频域位置上发送所述PRS。
具体来说,在某个指定的numerology下,网络设备可以将PRS映射在时频位置为(k,l)的资源粒子(Resource Element,RE)上发送,其中,k表示该numerology下的频域位置,同上一个例子中类似,l表示一个时隙内的OFDM符号序号,PRS的频域位置的起始点为发送该PRS的小区的公共资源块0上的子载波0,即该小区的point A(参考点A),并且,对应的k=0。
其中参考点A,可以是OFDM基带信号生成过程中,需要保证在同一载波上以不同子载波间隔((subcarrier spacing,SCS)所传输的所有Common RB中的子载波0对齐,即同一载波下的所有Common RB的边界需要对齐。
例如,假设小区A和小区B是网络设备选取的用于向终端设备发送第一目标配置信息和PRS的小区,也即假设小区A和小区B是终端设备的定位小区。
则,在小区A,网络设备配置numerology为μ的PRS,使用(k,l)表示PRS占用的RE时频位置,其中l表示时隙内的OFDM符号序号,k表示numerology为μ时的频域位置,该PRS的频域位置的起始点为小区A公共资源块0的子载波0,即该小区A的point A,对应的,k=0。
在小区B,网络设备配置numerology为μ的PRS,使用(k1,l1)表示PRS 占用的RE时频位置,其中l1表示时隙内的OFDM符号序号,k1表示numerology为μ时的频域位置,该PRS的频域位置的起始点为小区B公共资源块0的子载波0,即该小区B的point A,对应的,k1=0。
下面结合列表对NR系统中的numerology进行说明。
与LTE系统仅支持15kHz的子载波间隔不同,NR系统支持多套基础参数设计,如15、30、60、120、240kHz的子载波间隔(Δf),以支持百MHz到几十GHz的频谱。NR可支持多种与子载波间隔相关的numerology,具体地,由表1表示:
表1支持的传输numerologies
μ Δf=2 μ·15[kHz] CP
0 15 正常
1 30 正常
2 60 正常,扩展
3 120 正常
4 240 正常
相应的,NR系统中基于不同的numerology的slot配置如表2和表3所示,其中,表2对应于正常循环前缀,表3对应于扩展循环前缀。

可选地,如图2所示,本公开的一些实施例提供的一种NR系统的定位参考信号配置方法,还可以包括:
步骤102、发送第二目标配置信息,所述第二目标配置信息包括与所述PRS有准共站址(Quasi Co-location,QCL)关系的同步信号块SSB或信道状态信息参考信号(Channel State Information-Reference Signals,CSI-RS)。
当然,第二目标配置信息还可以包括与所述PRS有准共站址(Quasi Co-location,QCL)关系的其他信号,本公开的一些实施例对此不做限定。
上述与PRS具有QCL关系的SSB或CSI-RS用于向所述终端设备提供所述第一目标配置信息,且所提供的所述第一目标配置信息包括:所述PRS的时间信息和波束信息中至少一种。其中,时间信息可以包括平均时延和/或扩展时延。
如果两个天线端口的信号满足QCL关系,那么两组信号经历的信道的多普勒频移,多普勒扩展,平均时延,时延扩展,空间接收参数至少其中之一近似相同。QCL可以包括如下几种类型:
QCL类型A(QCL-TypeA):{多普勒频移,多普勒扩展,平均延迟,延迟扩展}
QCL类型B(QCL-TypeB):{多普勒频移,多普勒扩展}
QCL类型C(QCL-TypeC):{平均延迟,多普勒频移}
QCL类型D(QCL-TypeD):{空间Rx参数}。
可以理解,通过与PRS有QCL关系的信号向所述终端设备提供所述PRS的时间信息和波束信息,可以用于实现终端设备的辅助定位。定位时,终端设备可通过SSB或CSI-RS提供的波束信息,获得发送波束的到达角(Arival of Angle,AOA)等定位信息,用于辅助定位。
具体的,可在PRS伪随机序列的初始值(C init)中加入与PRS相关联的 SSB ID信息。在定位时,终端设备可通过对PRS序列的检测获取关联的SSB ID。已知SSB ID,即可得知发送PRS的波束是哪一个,从而获得了发送波束的AOA等信息,用于辅助定位。
可选地,所述第一目标配置信息还可以包括下列信息中的至少一种:所述PRS的小区ID信息、所述终端设备的定位性能指标信息、所述网络设备配置所述PRS的时隙配置信息、所述网络设备配置所述PRS的子载波间隔信息、所述网络设备给所述终端设备配置的带宽信息、所述PRS的循环前缀CP信息、所述网络设备配置所述PRS的端口信息,以及所述PRS的功率增益信息。
其中,小区ID信息可以为PRS所在小区的物理小区标识或虚拟小区标识。
终端设备的定位性能指标信息可以包括目标定位精度及目标延迟信息,这些定位性能指标信息为终端设备所在场景下要求的定位性能指标,一般而言,这些性能指标与PRS资源映射图样有关。如果当前场景要求定位精度高,则使用定位性能好的PRS资源映射图样;如果当前场景要求的定位精度较低,则使用定位性能一般的PRS资源映射图样;如果当前场景对定位时延要求高,则使用时延较小的PRS资源映射图样;如果当前场景对定位时延要求不高,则不使用时延较小的PRS资源映射图样。
网络设备配资的PRS的时隙配置信息包括一个定位burst所占的连续下行时隙数的信息、PRS周期信息、PRS信号的时隙偏移量等信息。
例如,定位参考信号可在N PRS个连续下行时隙中传输,且第一个时隙满足如下公式:
Figure PCTCN2019091865-appb-000013
其中,
Figure PCTCN2019091865-appb-000014
为某个numerology下一个无线帧包含的时隙数,n f为无线帧号,n s为一个无线帧内的时隙号,Δ PRS为PRS信号的时隙偏移量,T PRS为PRS信号发送周期。
网络设备配置PRS的子载波间隔信息,可以为网络设备为终端设备配置PRS的子载波间隔宽度信息。
PRS的循环前缀CP信息包含正常CP或扩展CP信息,其中,扩展CP用在距离终端设备较远的测量小区中。网络设备配置需要通过某小区发送的PRS时,只配置常规CP或只配置扩展CP,一般不会同时配置常规CP和扩展CP。另外,考虑网络设备可能通过距离终端设备较远的小区配置PRS,因此可允许在除了60kHz(μ=2)的其他一个或多个Numerology上配置扩展CP。
网络设备配置(或发送)PRS的端口信息,可以为小区发送PRS的逻辑端口信息,包含端口数和端口索引(index)信息。
PRS的功率增益(power boosting)信息,可以为网设备为每个PRS RE配置的功率提升参数,功率增益信息与参与定位的小区数,PRS端口数和PRS资源映射图样信息等至少一项相关。
可选地,所述第一目标配置信息可以是基于部分带宽BWP配置的;或者,所述第一目标配置信息可以是基于小区配置的。
基于BWP的配置就是PRS的所有配置在BWP下配置,不同BWP具有不同的PRS配置。基于小区的配置就是PRS的所有配置在小区下配置,不同的小区具有不同的PRS配置。例如,基于BWP配置和NR R-15中CSI-RS、解调参考信号(De Modulation Reference Signal,DMRS)的配置类似,即PRS的在BWP下配置;基于小区配置,即PRS可在小区级配置。
可选地,上述第一目标配置信息还可以包括:所述PRS与第二预设信号的资源复用信息。
其中,第二预设信号可以包括但不限于:同步信号块SSB、信道状态信息参考信号CSI-RS、物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH)、物理下行共享信道(Physical Downlink Shared Channel,PDSCH)、跟踪参考信号(Tracking Reference Signals,TRS)、相位跟踪参考信号(Phase  Tracking Reference Signals,PTRS)和解调参考信号DMRS中的至少一种。
即配置PRS与其他信号或信道(如SSB、CSI-RS、TRS、DMRS、PTRS、PDCCH或PDSCH等)复用或者不复用,也就是说PRS是否要避免与其他参考信号或信道发生碰撞,是否要与其他参考信号或信道频分复用或时分复用。
例如,假设与PRS有复用关系的信号为PDSCH,网络设备可以为PRS配置关于PDSCH的复用信息。
具体如在频率范围1(低频范围),网络设备配置在发送PRS的时隙不发送PDSCH,也即PRS与PDSCH不复用资源。
再如,在频率范围2(高频范围),如果PRS与PDSCH具有QCL关联,则有两种配置方案:一是,允许终端设备同时接收PRS与PDSCH,若PRS与PDSCH发生碰撞,则在该资源粒子RE所在的位置打掉PDSCH,PDSCH与其他资源粒子进行速率匹配;二是,网络设备在该时隙不发送PDSCH,也即PRS与PDSCH不复用资源。如果PRS与PDSCH没有QCL关联关系,则终端设备在该时隙只接收PRS或只接收PDSCH。
可选地,上述任一实施例中所述的第一目标配置信息或第二目标配置信息可以通过下列方式中的至少一种进行发送:基于高层信令发送所述第一目标配置信息,例如无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC);基于MAC层信令发送所述第一目标配置信息;或基于下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information,DCI)发送所述第一目标配置信息;或基于UE与位置服务器之间的定位协议LPP(LTE Positioning Protocol)。
当然,一些第一目标配置信息也可以由协议固定,例如PRS带宽等信息,对于可以由协议固定的第一目标配置信息,网络设备可以不给终端设备发送,而由终端设备自身通过查询协议获得,以节约网络设备的传输资源。
可选地,如图3所示,上述任一实施例提供的一种NR系统的定位参考信号配置方法,还可以包括如下步骤:
步骤104、发送一个或多个PRS资源集,所述PRS资源集中包括映射在 至少一个资源粒子上的至少一个PRS资源。
具体的,网络设备可以在一个时隙内配置1个PRS资源集,该PRS资源集可以包含多个周期性PRS资源,且一个时隙内的多个PRS资源具有相同的周期、带宽以及频域密度,PRS资源具体的时域及频域位置可由高层灵活配置。
如图4所示(图4是根据本公开的一些实施例的一种PRS资源映射结构示意图),网络设备可以在一个时隙(包含0至13共14个OFDM符号)内配置1个PRS资源集,1个PRS资源集内包含8个周期性PRS资源,在图4中,附图标记41和42所指的映射在同一OFDM符号中不同频域位置的两个资源粒子上的PRS即为一个PRS资源。
可选地,如图3所示,在步骤104之前,上述任一实施例提供的一种NR系统的定位参考信号配置方法,还可以包括如下步骤:
步骤103、发送第三目标配置信息,所述第三目标配置信息用于配置所述PRS资源集中的PRS。
其中,所述第三目标配置信息包括但不限于下列信息中的一种或多种:
(1)所述PRS资源集中的PRS对应的资源配置标识,也可以称为PRS资源ID。
(2)所述PRS资源集中的PRS的周期信息和时隙信息,例如时隙偏移量。
(3)所述PRS资源集中的PRS与所述网络设备的资源的映射信息,该资源映射信息可以包括PRS资源的发送端口信息、OFDM符号及子载波占用位置、频域密度及带宽信息等;频域密度可以是指每个PRS发送端口上每个物理资源块(Physical Resource Block,PRB)的PRS频域密度,PRS可以在频域上可以等间隔分布,带宽信息可以包含PRS的贷款和频域初始PRB索引信息。
(4)所述PRS资源集中的PRS功率控制信息,功率控制信息可以包含 PRS每个资源粒子的能量(Energy per Resource Element,EPRE)与SSB EPRE的比率,和PRS EPRE与PDSCH EPRE的比率至少其中一项。
(5)用于生成所述PRS资源集中的PRS的生成参数,例如用于确定PRS伪随机序列中的初始值的扰码ID信息,扰码ID信息可以由网络设备配置。
(6)所述PRS资源集中的PRS的部分带宽BWP信息,BWP信息定义了网络设备在哪个BWP上配置PRS。
(7)所述PRS资源集中的PRS的QCL信息,QCL信息包含了PRS传输配置指示(Transmission Configuration Indicator,TCI)状态信息,该状态信息用于指示PRS的QCL源参考信号。
另外,同第一目标配置信息或第二目标配置信息,第三目标配置信息也可以通过下列方式中的至少一种进行发送:基于高层信令发送所述第三目标配置信息(例如,RRC)、基于MAC层信令发送所述第三目标配置信息,或基于下行控制信息DCI发送所述第三目标配置信息,或基于UE与位置服务器之间的定位协议LPP(LTE Positioning Protocol)发送所述第三目标配置信息。
此外,部分第三目标配置信息也可以由协议固定,例如PRS带宽等信息,对于可以由协议固定的第三目标配置信,网络设备可以不给终端设备发送,而由终端设备自身通过查询协议获得,以节约网络设备的传输资源。
总而言之,本公开的一些实施例提供的一种NR系统的定位参考信号配置方法,由于能够发送用于配置终端设备的定位参考信号PRS的第一目标配置信息,因此可以使NR系统中的终端设备获得PRS,提高通信有效性。
以上对应用于网络设备的NR系统的定位参考信号配置方法进行了说明,下面结合图5对本公开的一些实施例提供的一种应用于终端设备中的NR系统的定位参考信号接收方法进行说明。
如图5所示,根据本公开一个实施例的NR系统的定位参考信号接收方法,应用于终端设备,可以包括如下步骤:
步骤501:接收第一目标配置信息,所述第一目标配置信息用于配置所述终端设备的定位参考信号PRS。
图5所示的实施例提供的一种NR系统的定位参考信号接收方法,由于能够接收用于配置终端设备的定位参考信号PRS的第一目标配置信息,因此能够获得PRS。
下面结合具体的实施例对上述接收第一目标配置信息的方式,以及第一目标配置信息包含的内容进行说明。
可选地,第一目标配置信息是网络设备通过多个小区中的一个小区为所述终端设备配置的,所述多个小区由所述网络设备从距所述终端设备预定距离内的小区中选择确定。
更为详细的,网络设备可以基于下列方式中的一种或多种从距所述终端设备预定距离内的小区中选择多个小区:
基于距所述终端设备预定距离内的小区的无线资源管理RRM报告,从距所述终端设备预定距离内的小区中选择多个小区;
基于预先对所述终端设备的位置的估计,从距所述终端设备预定距离内的小区中选择多个小区;以及

由于本公开的一些实施例提供的一种NR系统的定位参考信号接收方法,与本公开的一些实施例提供的一种NR系统的定位参考信号配置方法相对应,因此,本说明书对NR系统的定位参考信号接收方法的描述较为简单,相关之处,请参考上文中对NR系统的定位参考信号配置方法的描述。
可选地,终端设备在接收到网络设备配置的PRS之后,可以进一步基于该PRS进行定位。下面以将PRS应用在观测到达时间(Observed Time Difference of Arrival,OTDOA)定位中为例,对终端设备基于PRS进行定位的过程进行简要的说明。
如图12所示,OTDOA定位方法基于PRS定位的过程可以包括如下步骤:
步骤1201、网络设备基于上文中述及的方法生成PRS,其中,所述网络设备包括所述终端设备的服务小区和从终端设备附近选出的多个邻小区。
步骤1202、网络设备向终端设备发送PRS。
步骤1203、终端设备对来自邻小区的PRS与来自服务小区的PRS做时域相关,得到每一邻小区对应的时延功率谱。
其中,来自服务小区的PRS也可以称为终端设备的本地PRS。
步骤1204、终端设备根据邻小区对应的时延功率谱寻找该邻小区的首达径,获得每个邻小区发送的PRS到达终端设备的TOA。
步骤1205、终端设备分别确定服务小区与每个邻小区的参考信号时差(Reference Signal Time Difference,RSTD)。
步骤1206、终端设备基于至少三个邻小区对应的RSTD,确定终端设备的位置。
具体可以是计算终端设备的坐标。
在上述过程中,终端设备并不获取精确的PRS到达时间(TOA),终端设备的位置由至少三个邻小区的到达时间差(TDOA)来确定,即由相对时间而不是绝对时间确定。
图13出了OTDOA定位原理图,从图13中可以看出,三个参与定位的邻小区基站(第一邻小区基站131、第二邻小区基站132和第三邻小区基站133)可以把终端设备限定在极小部分区域134内,第一邻小区基站131、第二邻小区基站132和第三邻小区基站133到终端设备的距离分别为d1、d2和d3。理想的情况下,终端设备的位置在第一曲线135和第二曲线136的交叉点处,但是由于第一曲线135和第二曲线136的位置存在误差,具体的,第一曲线135的位置可能在第一虚线1351和第二虚线1352之间,第二曲线136的位置可能在第三虚线1361和第四虚线1362之间,因此,由三个邻小区基站确定出的终端设备的位置在区域134内。再增加一个邻小区基站可以把终端设备限定在另一块区域内,取重合部分即可缩小终端设备的位置范围,不难理解,参与定位的邻小区基站越多,定位精度越高。
